Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Vorsaile Heuloix: Ah, [Rank][Surname]—ever the shining example to your fellow Serpents.
Vorsaile Heuloix: Time and again, you have risen to the call. Today, I would give you the opportunity to add your growing list of accomplishments.
Vorsaile Heuloix: In return for battle chocobos provided to us, the Holy See has petitioned our aid in purging the cavern known as the Aurum Vale of its most foul inhabitants. Our contact from Ishgard, Ser Willielmus, will apprise you of the particulars of the mission upon your arrival.

Speaking with Willielmus

Willielmus: From the Order of the Twin Adder, I presume? Yes, I suppose you should suffice. The Holy See is not wont to beseech assistance from foreign armies, but the task before us is a daunting one, and our own knights are occupied with matters of greater import.
Willielmus: Mayhap you have already heard rumors of the Aurum Vale. Many a miner has been lured into its cavernous recesses by promises of vast fortunes to find only death, and doubly so.
Willielmus: If the noxious fumes don't get them, the carnivorous fronds that lurk are happy to oblige. Little we can do about the former, but dispatching the latter would go far in sparing the lives of unfortunate treasure seekers. So it is that we turn to you.

Reporting to Vorsile Heuloix

Vorsaile Heuloix: I had no doubts that you would triumph, [Rank], but the swiftness and surety with which you have done so is impressive indeed.
Vorsaile Heuloix: As leader of the Yellow Serpents, I have never been prouder of an adventurer under my command.
Vorsaile Heuloix: Rest assured that your deeds have been conveyed to the powers that be. I look forward to the day when I can congratulate you on a well-deserved promotion.
