Journal
- Ghimthota, a captain of the watch at the Moraby Drydocks, wishes your aid in dealing with potential intruders.
- Ghimthota is convinced that a gang of treacherous pirates aims to sabotage the construction of the Victory. Speak with either Urswyrst at the front gate or C'nangho at the rear gate to learn of any suspicious activity.
- You have spoken with one of the guards and heard a report concerning a possible saboteur. Make your way to the cliff at Empty Heart and learn what trouble is afoot.
- You have confronted the suspicious sailor, and he leaves you with words that send a chill down your spine. Hurry back to the Drydocks and report to Ghimthota.
- You have succeeded in preventing the destruction of the Victory. It has come to light, however, that the leader of the pirates, Ahtzapfyn, is actually Ahtbyrm's father. Speak with the troubled foreman, and see how he fares.
- Though he puts on a brave face, it is clear that Ahtbyrm is deeply shaken by his father's unexpected appearance. Return to Ghimthota and convey Ahtbyrm's gratitude and apologies.
- Ghimthota appears convinced that a swift return to work on the Victory will soon ease Ahtbyrm's troubled heart. The watch captain thanks you for your assistance, and mentions that the would-be saboteurs have been handed over to the Yellowjackets. There has, however, been an important discovery that she would like to discuss with you.
Dialogue
Accepting the quest
I am concerned, Forename. It appears that the pirates I had you investigate are on the move.
They creep ever closer to the Drydocks, so I must assume they mean to target the Victory herself.
That ship is the symbol of everything Limsa Lominsa strives to become, and I will not allow these base scoundrels to lay a single finger upon her hull.
We must apprehend them before they put their plans into motion! And you, Forename, are just the man/woman to do it.
Without your capable assistance, I fear the security of the Drydocks cannot be guaranteed.
Not moments ago, my guards submitted reports of suspicious activity in the area. Pray begin your efforts by listening to one of their accounts firsthand.
It matters not whom you choose to speak with, but be sure to question either Urswyrst at the front gate or C'nangho at the rear.
Any suspect saboteurs you encounter during the course of your investigation are to be interrogated. Report any and all findings directly to me.
Speak with one of the guards
Urswyrst
Ghimthota sent you to follow up on my report?
Well, it was not too long ago that I saw some unsavory sort slinking along the top of the bluff near Empty Heart, just over yonder.
It may be that he's still about. If you've got the time, adventurer, I'd much appreciate you getting up there to take a look.
C'nangho
Hail, adventurer. Glad to have another hand aboard to help shore up security.
The gods know our reports would sit on Ghimthota's desk gathering dust if it weren't for the assistance of those such as yourself.
Speaking of reports, though, I saw one of those mangy pirates lurking around the cliff near Empty Heart. I'd take a closer look before he has a chance to cover his tracks.
Find the shifty-eyed sailor
Bah, spotted me, did ye? Well, yer too late─what's to 'appen is already 'appenin'.
Report to Ghimthota at the Moraby Drydocks (solo instance)
Start of cutscene.So, you found me one of those pirates, did you?
I knew you were the right adventurer to ask for aid.
But what could these knaves be planning? “What's to happen is already happening”...?
Captain! Ungh... Trouble...at the shipyard... <pant>
Easy now, soldier. Who did this to you?
<pant> Pirates... Out of nowhere... <cough> Stuck me good...
Gods below, we are not prepared for this!
The pirates, soldier, how many do they number?
Not sure... More than I could quickly count... Seemed to be carrying...explosives...
Explosives!? Then there is no time to lose!
Forename, you heard the situation. Make your way to the shipyard and engage these intruders!
I will see to this man's wounds, then follow after.
Make haste, now!
End of cutscene.
Defeat the pirates and protect the Victory!
Start of cutscene.Gahahaha! Never reckoned it'd be this easy! Still don't trust those slimy bastards, but their plan worked like a charm!
Da! What are you doing, you great bloody fool!?
Shut yer trap, boy.
This'll all be over soon. All that's left now is to blow this ugly pile o' driftwood into splinters.
Why would you do such a thing!? Have you any idea how important this ship is? What it represents?
Aye, an' that's what makes it all the sweeter! Whatever it takes to knock some sense into me treacherous, backstabbin' son!
Imagine, a boy o' mine givin' up the pirate life to become a shipwright! An' buildin' a bleedin' Maelstrom vessel at that! What under Llymlaen's wide, green ocean made ye take up with these self-righteous shites!?
You're the one with no bloody sense, Da! Don't you see? The pirates had their glory days, but that era is over!
Ah! I wondered why Ahtbyrm never spoke of his father. I never would have thought...
This ship's a symbol alright─of everythin' what went wrong with the world. An' I mean to shatter it into a hunnerd thousand pieces!
Ghimthota! Forename! Pray beat the tar out of this bloated sea slug, and make sure no harm comes to the Victory!
End of cutscene.
Defeat the pirates and protect the Victory!
Da, this is madness!
A pirate don't abandon 'is treasures!
My father... You must stop him!
Leave him to us.
Forename, C'nangho, to me!
Forename, C'nangho, to me!
As we agreed, Ahtzapfyn!
Mamool Ja mercenaries!?
I'll take the Mamool Ja. You focus on Ahtzapfyn.
Ye've no idea who yer up against!
Now, outta me damn way!
Ware, adventurer!
Ahtzapfyn has a crazy glint in his eye...
Ahtzapfyn has a crazy glint in his eye...
Please! You cannot let him win!
Optional dialogue
If Ghimthota is KO'd
Protect the ship...
If C'nangho is KO'd
Captain, I...ugh...
Start of cutscene.I...I must be gettin' old, lettin' some green 'venturer get the best o' me.
Da...
<cough> That's one big bloody ship. Big...an' nasty lookin'. Ye made that, did ye...?
End of cutscene.
Speak with Ahtbyrm
My thanks, Forename. I shudder to think what may have become of the Victory without your intervention.
<sigh> The pirates have made a right mess of things─I'd best get to sorting out the docks.
...And my thoughts could use some sorting out as well. Ever did my father have a way of turning my life upside down.
Pray convey my thanks─and my apologies─to Ghimthota.
Speak with Ghimthota
How fare you, Forename? I cannot begin to thank you for the role you played in preventing this madness.
You defended more than a simple ship─you saved the budding hope of Limsa Lominsa from a violent demise. The day was yours.
It seems our security regimen will require much in the way of improvement if we are to truly keep the Drydocks safe.
...Ahtbyrm apologizes? Well, I suppose I can understand why he would feel responsible for his father's actions. Of all those involved, this incident was hardest on him.
But, in time, I believe he will come to a single conclusion: the most fitting way of moving past his anguish is to see the Victory completed and in the water.
Ah, by the by, the pirates we defeated have been handed over to the Yellowjackets. Reyner's men will be taking over the investigation.
Before the Yellowjackets moved in, however, we recovered a most unusual object. Should you have the time to spare, I would ask of you another favor...
