Dialogue
What do yo do here?
Oh, I don't know. I hunt. They say it restores the peace, but I don't see much evidence of that. Still, it puts food on the table and strings on the psaltery. The bounty's paid in Allied Seals. Quite a lot of them, actually. Anyway, my hunting adventurer, I'm sure you have questions. I do know a lot about elite marks, whatever the rank. Oh, yes, they come in ranks, rank S being the most dangerous. Though that's also the hardest to find. Rather illogical, really. I mean, if you couldn't find it, it was hardly a danger to you.
Tell me about the rank B elite mark. (Flame Sergeant Dalvag)
Flame Sergeant Dalvag was among the thousands of defenders who met the Garlean invasion force in northern Thanalan soon after the Calamity. His company was ill placed to hold their position, yet given strict orders not to retreat. Many fell, and suffered much in the falling. Multiple witnesses attest that Dalvag was the last of the company and fought as a man possessed till the end, the names of the dead tumbling in hoarse barks through cracked lips. Scholars theorize that his mortal remains are animated by a thirst for vengeance alone.
Tell me about the rank A elite mark. (Dalvag's Final Flame)
Much is told of the corpse-soldier, Flame Sergeant Dalvag, yet mainstream scholarship has lagged woefully on the matter of what became of the rest of him. Efforts by hunter-scholars with intimate knowledge of northern Thanalan have resulted in persuasive identification of a malevolent local demon as the late sergeant's spirit.
Tell me about the rank S elite mark. (Minhocao)
Ah, yes, the sandworm. Large concerns like Amajina & Sons don't give a toss about the commonfolk being ambushed and eaten. But a sandworm attacking their convoy--we can't have that! ...Sightings of Minhocao have long been reported near deposits and mines, particularly those that hold quantities of ceruleum. Alchemically similar to the sandworms' foremilk, the catalyst is a food source for the great worms. However, any attempt to lure Minhocao to the surface with the use of edible bait would necessitate very large quantities of food.
