Accepting the Quest

Hoobigo Messenger

Say, aren't you Forename? That certainly saves me a lot of trouble. I was asked to find you on behalf of Miilal Ja.

Curious happenings abound in Mamook of late, and we thought one with your worldly experience may be able to help us make sense of things.

If you have the time and inclination to aid us, she awaits you in Mamook. You'll find her west of the plaza, in the large building near the two-headed statue.

Speak with Miilal Ja in Mamook (cutscene)

Miilal Ja

Thank you for coming. Truth be told, I was unsure if I was right to call on you, but the troubles we now face cannot be overcome with our strength alone.

It all began when we found a fallen traveler in the Skydeep Cenote. For a mercy, his wounds were not life-threatening.

His kind is not a common sight in these lands. Tall and slender of build, with pointed ears.

He has yet to awaken, but speaks in his sleep of strange things that make little sense to us.

It was our hope that you might recognize something in his ramblings, or perhaps even jog his memory once he regains consciousness. Might you be willing to speak with him?

Hoobigo Messenger

Miilal Ja. The traveler stirs.

Miilal Ja

Very good. If you would be so kind as to bring him here?

We are glad to see you awake, and in good health besides. May I ask your name, traveler?

Armor-clad Wanderer

My name? I...

I'm sorry. I can't remember.

Miilal Ja

It would seem the fall has affected his memory. In any case, his presence here is a complete mystery to us, his armor the only hint as to whence he came. Does anything about him strike you as out of the ordinary?

What will you say?

> Looks like your typical adventurer to me.

Armor-clad Wanderer

An adventurer? Me...?

> Not much different from any other Elezen I've met. Or...would that be Eldite?

Armor-clad Wanderer

Elezen? Eldite? No, that's not quite right...

Armor-clad Wanderer

Agh!

I...I remember. I'm an Elvaan. An Elvaan adventurer!

And you're Mamool Ja... Could it be I've come to Mamook?

Wait, if I'm in Mamook, then...I must have been taken prisoner!

Miilal Ja

To so readily believe us enemies, perhaps he comes from a land unfamiliar with our customs, across the salt.

What will you say?

> He could be from Eorzea.

> I'm not so sure...

> Maybe he came from Alexandria?

Miilal Ja

We've no way to know for certain. In which case─

Zereel Ja

Miilal Ja! We must gather our strongest fighters at once!

Miilal Ja

Why? What's happened?

Zereel Ja

Gulool Ja Ja's shade has returned! It's been sighted near Gok Draak Descent. Bakool Ja Ja has engaged the apparition, but I fear the worst.

The Vow of Resolve's companion, from the Feat of the Brotherhood. I suspect you would understand the graveness of this situation better than most.

In recent days, the late Dawnservant's shade has been seen wandering the woods of Yak T'el. I have reason to believe it was invoked in like manner to the one used in the feat.

Only a privileged few of the Boonewa should be privy to the knowledge required to perform the rite. The culprit will be found in time, but we've a more pressing matter at hand now.

I must hurry and inform the Landsguard. Bakool Ja Ja requires reinforcements.

Miilal Ja

The Dawnservant's shade... I fear he may not hold out until the guard assembles.

I am loath to ask such a favor, but would you aid Bakool Ja Ja in this battle?

I'm in your debt. Gok Draak Descent is to the west of here. Please, go and help my son.

Armor-clad Wanderer

Gulool Ja Ja...?

Survey the destination (cutscene)

???

Gwaaahhh!

Shade of Resolve

Hmph. Pathetic. And you dare call yourselves blessed siblings?

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

<pant> <pant> Not bad... You might actually prove a challenge.

Bakool Ja Ja the Mystic

If you've come to help, best stay on your guard. He's not alone...

Rambunctious Youth

What's this? Another monster in need of slaying? Don't worry─I'll send them packing!

Here I go!

Nullifying Dropkick!

Armor-clad Wanderer

Oh no you don't!

I can't explain why, but something told me I had to be here.

Rambunctious Youth

Hah! Not bad. Not bad at all. But it'll take more than a couple of taurus to stop me!

Armor-clad Wanderer

Taurus? Are you daft, girl?

Rambunctious Youth

You can speak! A shame you don't seem to have any manners.

Prishe

The name's Prishe. You'd do well to remember it.

Armor-clad Wanderer

Prishe...?

Prishe

Hahaha! Looks like I win.

One taurus down, one to go. I hope you're ready!

Shade of Reason

Gehehehe. At ease, Prishe. We've seen to our task. Come.

Prishe

Whatever you say, Ulmia.

Bakool Ja Ja the Mystic

Ulmia? What is she talking about?

Armor-clad Wanderer

Prishe...wait...! Please, don't go...

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

I'm guessing word of the Dawnservant's shade is what brought you here. I don't know what that girl has to do with all this, but clearly she's aligned with whoever summoned them.

Bakool Ja Ja the Mystic

The way remains open, though there's no telling where it leads.

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

Even so, they can't be allowed to return. We've a duty to protect this forest, and I'll not see it torn apart by some two-headed impostor.

Let's hurry after them, Brother. Watch over that one, won't you?

Armor-clad Wanderer

Prishe... What's happened to you?

Speak to the armor-clad wanderer (cutscene)

Armor-clad Wanderer

Everything's still hazy, but I recall fighting alongside that girl. We were comrades-in-arms, I think.

But something was clearly wrong with her. She not only mistook me for a monster, but she called her two-headed companion “Ulmia.”

The Ulmia I know is an Elvaan woman. A far cry from the reptilian fiend we encountered.

Something dark has taken hold of her, clouded her mind. I have to go and─

Ugh...

What will you say?

> You're not going anywhere with those wounds.

Armor-clad Wanderer

But she needs me...

You would go in my stead? I know not how to thank you.

> I'll go after Prishe.

Armor-clad Wanderer

You would put yourself in harm's way for my sake? Thank you...

Armor-clad Wanderer

I recognize that look. The eyes of a (wo)man who's seen more than their fair share of battle.

Despite what Prishe has done, she was a dear friend to me. I'm fairly certain.

Have care, friend. There's no telling what lies beyond that portal.

Post-duty cutscene

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

Are you all right?

Bakool Ja Ja the Mystic

She's merely sleeping. It remains to be seen if she'll give us a fight when she wakes.

Prishe

Mmm... Errrghhh...

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

Ah, she stirs.

Prishe

Bwaaahhh!

A-A two-headed lizard! Trying to take a bite out of me, huh!?

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

A scrawny thing like you would barely make a snack.

Bakool Ja Ja the Mystic

Besides, we don't eat people!

Prishe

Sorry, I'm a little on edge.

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

If you've no quarrel with us, we've none with you.

Bakool Ja Ja the Mystic

We only wish to talk.

Prishe

Can they really be trusted?

I should know better than to judge people based on their appearance.

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

It's fine. We're an intimidating specimen.

Prishe

I'm Prishe, by the way. Nice to meet you.

Optional Dialogue

Prishe

Today's just been full of surprises.

Speak with Bakool Ja Ja

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

There is much of this we don't understand, but what we do understand is the battle is won. For now, at least.

What would've otherwise been a struggle proved a decisive victory against the Dawnservant's shade and the rest of those fiends. That is to say...erm...

Thank you for your help, Forename.

Optional Dialogue

Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty

Hopefully this girl can give us some answers.
