Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Marcechamp: ...Of all the blasted... Seven hells! Some beast is makin' off with my hard-earned chocobos afore I can gather 'em from the traps. Accounts from my men say it's one o' the biggest bears they've ever laid eyes on.
Marcechamp: I've got a plan to lure out the greedy bugger, but I need someone reliable to take it down for me─an' there ain't many more reliable than you!
Marcechamp: Take this here chocobo meat an' place it where my men reported the beast's last sightin', then lie in wait till it shows itself. I'm sure you'll make quick work of it from there.
(Optional)
Marcechamp: Go to the bear's last known location an' use the chocobo meat to lure it out. Make sure it troubles me no longer.

Reporting to Marcechamp

Marcechamp: I take it the beast won't be terrorizin' my chocobos anymore? My thanks, friend. I'm in your debt for all the help you've given me.
