Windurst Waters (S)
Ajido-Marujido : Oh! Roadblock!
What are you doing here? Come for a visitaru with the boy-genius of Windurst, have you?
Ajido-Marujido : I'm sorry to inform you, but I have a super-confidential meeting to attend. No time for idle chin-wagging!
Ajido-Marujido : What's the meeting about? Well, if I told you, it wouldn'taru be confidential now, would it?
Hmm... maybe you should just come along.
Accompany Ajido-Marujido to the meeting?
- I love secret meetings!
- No thanks, meetings make me sleepy...
Ajido-Marujido: I figure you've earned your place after last time.
Come along, then. No dawdling!
In Heavens Tower, you climb the stairs with Ajido-Marujido...
Ajido-Marujido : Look... the War Warlocks have gathered in secretaru!
Ajido-Marujido : Hm? You thought we were invited to this meeting?
Don'taru be absurd.
Ajido-Marujido : A potential Wise Wizard such as myself must master the art of reconnaissance!
Ajido-Marujido : And I also had to see what kind of goodies the grown-ups get to eat at these hush-wushy get-togethers...
The War Warlocks are sitting in a circle, talking...
Robel-Akbel : It appears everyone is in attendance.
Robel-Akbel : I'll cut right to the meat of the matter.
Windurst is facing a crisis she has not known since the federation was first founded.
Robel-Akbel : Fort Karugo-Narugo stands as our last line of defense.
Robel-Akbel : And that is why I intend to make a request for San d'Orian reinforcements.
Kayeel-Payeel : You would grovel before the Royal Knights?
Those pointy-eared prance-abouts have been our mortal enemies for generations!
Robel-Akbel : We are now a part of the Allied Forces.
San d'Oria is a nation of proud warriors -- their aid would be invaluable.
Zolku-Azolku: B-but...
Lutete : (Yawn)...
It's all the same to me...
Robel-Akbel : Master Caster Pattna-Ottna of the Taurean War Warlocks.
Robel-Akbel : It will be your duty to make the request for reinforcements to the Royal Knight General.
Pattna-Ottna : S-sir, yes sir!
Robel-Akbel : And since I detest sitting around sucking my thumb, I intend to execute my aforementioned strategy...
Gariri : You mean... that strategy?
The one where you storm Castle Oztroja?
Kayeel-Payeel : Insanity!
You would do better rally-wallying the Mithra Mercenaries and seeing to the defenses of the city, rather than wasting lives on a hopeless assaultaru...
Robel-Akbel : The Mithra will remain here.
I shall be taking only my personal guard.
Kayeel-Payeel : !?
Zolku-Azolku : But, Warlock Warlord, even with your formidable powers...
Robel-Akbel : Your concern is touching, but misplaced, Zolku-Azolku.
Robel-Akbel : Zonpa-Zippa!
Robel-Akbel : I leave command of the city defenses in your hands during my absence.
Zonpa-Zippa : Ahahaha! And such capable hands they are!
So capable, you needn'taru even bother coming back!
Robel-Akbel : Master Caster Kamolo-Domilo of the Sagittarian War Warlocks.
Kamolo-Domilo : Sir.
Robel-Akbel : Your duty shall be to command the defenses of Fort Karugo-Narugo. The Tigress Volunteers and the Cobra Mercenaries will be dispatched to provide a sizeable fighting force.
Kamolo-Domilo : ...
Robel-Akbel : Are you displeased with your assignment?
Kamolo-Domilo : N-no, sir.
Robel-Akbel : If something should befall the enchanted walls, the fortress will become vulnerable.
Situate the mercenaries in key locations to repel any sudden assaults.
Robel-Akbel : "He" shall serve as your advisor.
You may see more cooperation with a suitable intermediary.
Robel-Akbel : These orders are effective immediately.
To your posts.
Ajido-Marujido : Oho, this was a most successful reconna--
??? : Well, now!
Ajido-Marujido : Wha--!?
Zubaba : I see we have a pair of snoopsy-woopsy interlopers!
Ajido-Marujido : I-I was justaru practicing my information-gather--
Zubaba : Silence!
This is no place for children!
Out with you!
Kamolo-Domilo : What could the Warlock Warlord possibly-wossibly be thinking?
Does he mean to hog all the glory for himself again?
Lukka-Lakka : Glory?
He'll return to a city of smoking ashy-wash and ruin if he leaves it to the mercy of the Theocracy.
Kamolo-Domilo : This cravy-waving to be on the forefront of the action is insufferable!
I don't care if he is the Warlock Warlord.
Kamolo-Domilo : His policies have our fair city crawling with Mithran mercenaries.
And he speaks of sendy-wendy for even more reinforcements from Olzhirya...
Kamolo-Domilo : As if that weren'taru bad enough, now we have this request for Elvaan reinforcements.
Has his thirstaru for conflict blinded him to the consequences of his actions?
Kamolo-Domilo : I can'taru let this madness continue.
Your day will come soon, Robel-Akbel...
Lukka-Lakka : ...
Meanwhile, in a small room in Heavens Tower...
??? : Hmm, not bad... Things appear to be prrrogressing to plan.
I hope nothing has been forgotten...?
Robel-Akbel: Do not underestimate the shrewdness of the Yagudo.
They will ruthlessly strike at any weakness in the fort's defenses.
Robel-Akbel: But if we can strike a mortal blow in the meantime...
Robel-Akbel: I am willing to make sacrifices for the greater good.
??? : Oho. How rrreassuring.
Robel-Akbel: There is one for whom this must be done...
??? : Let's see if your bite is as ferrrocious as your bark...
At the gate, in Windurst Waters (S)...
Dhea Prandoleh : What are ya doin' lyin' around, brrrat?
Ajido-Marujido : Oh!
Dhea Prandoleh : Don't ya rrremember what day it is!?
Ajido-Marujido : That's right!
The professor...!
Dhea Prandoleh : He's leavin' through the Windurst Waters gate.
It may be the last time ya see him in one piece, so ya better give him a prrroper sendoff!
Ajido-Marujido : R-right!
Koru-Moru : Please take good-dang-doodily care of the kids while I'm gone-aroo.
Romaa Mihgo : You've got nothing to worry about.
That Ajido-Marujido handled himself prrretty well back there at the fort. Speak of the devil... Rrrest easy, we'll make a man out of him, you'll see.
Koru-Moru : Oh... diddly...
Ajido-Marujido : ?
Koru-Moru : Now Ajido, I'll be absentified for a time, so don't go making a noodling-nuisance of yourself, alright-areeno?
Koru-Moru : Ah, good to see-aree you again.
My duties take me to Jeuno, and I'd be most tank-rankingly-thankful if you could keep an eye-areeno on this troublemaker.
Koru-Moru : There's a research effort in pin-diddly-progress to alleviate-aroo the food shortage caused by the war.
Researchers from across Vana'diel are gathering to offer their ding-doodily-ieas.
Koru-Moru : I've been personally invitified to participate-areeno.
I must do my bang-bingingly-best so that children like Ajido can grow up to be healthy and strong-aroo.
Ajido-Marujido : Don'taru you fret about Ajido-Marujido!
By the time you return, I shall have become a resplendent War Warlock!
Romaa Mihgo : I'm sorry I can only spare a couple of kittens to escort you to Jeuno, Professor.
Romaa Mihgo : I'd prrrefer to have some more seasoned mercenaries guide you on the trip, but...
Romaa Mihgo : His High and Mightiness, the Warlock Warlord, isn't shy about rrrequisitioning my troops.
Most of my girls were just hustled off to rrreinforce Fort Karugo-Narugo.
Romaa Mihgo : Tihl! Mihl!
Tihl Midurhi : Ma'am!
Mihl Pakorhma : Yes, ma'am!
Romaa Mihgo : You two are charged with seeing the professor safe to Jeuno.
No sidetrrrips!
Mihl Pakorhma : No prrroblem!
Tihl Midurhi : (Sigh)...
(Show some rrrespect, will ya?)
Leave it to us, boss!
Koru-Moru : Ahaha, I may look a little soft-diddly-droopy around the middle, but I'm still an elite graduate of the Aurastery.
I'm not so hang-doodily-helpless as all that!
Koru-Moru : I must be off.
Farewell-areeno!
Romaa Mihgo : Windurst will be safe in our paws!
Romaa Mihgo : Hmmm... I don't know about those kittens.
They haven't even cut their teeth on an enemy yet.
Ajido-Marujido : Maybe I should go with them?
Romaa Mihgo : Don't be foolish. The professor'd just have to turn around and brrring you home.
Ajido-Marujido : ...
Romaa Mihgo : This seems like a job for you, PLAYERNAME.
Could you chase them down and make sure they rrreach Jeuno safely?
Romaa Mihgo : Once Tihl and Mihl see the professor off, tell them to join the rrrest of our unit at Karugo-Narugo.
Sauromugue Champaign (S)
Scene 1
Tihl Midurhi : I already told you, we brrrought the professor here from Windurst on official rrresearch business...
Irwyn : The Duchy of Jeuno, ruled by Archduke Kam'lanaut, lies beyond this point. I have orders to prevent entry to any unauthorized travelers. Do you have any papers that document this official business?
Koru-Moru : Oh, you tig-taggily-tagged along, did you? It looks like you're just in time to joinify us for the return trip-aroo...
Irwyn : You, there. That's far enough. You must possess the proper identification before being permitted entry into Jeuno.
???: Excuse me, coming through... Ah, I thought so! Professor Koru-Moru!
Koru-Moru : Y-you.... you're Rasusu!? (She's as bing-bangingly-beautiful as an angel-areeno...)
Rasusu : I figured from your letter that you'd be arriving sooner rather-wather than later.
Koru-Moru : And here I am! I would traversify a thousand times the diddly-distance to make your acquaintance...
Rasusu : This esteem-weemed personage is Professor Koru-Moru of the Windurst Aurastery, and an honored guest of our research effortaru.
Irwyn : I apologize for the harsh treatment, Professor. Welcome to Jeuno.
Rasusu : Yes, welcome, welcome! I'm so glad to see you've arrived safely-wafely. And you were the professor's escort party? A job well done. I am Professor Koru-Moru's...
Koru-Moru : G-girlfrie--
Rasusu : ...colleague, Rasusu. Nice to meet you!
Koru-Moru : ...
Rasusu : I mustaru introduce you to the rest of the research team! Come along, Professor.
Koru-Moru : This is where we partify ways. Keep your ting-tangily-tails out of mischief!
Mihl Pakorhma : Sir, yes s--er... Professor!
Tihl Midurhi : That was... uneventful. I think I'm suited to a rrriskier style of mission. You know, storm the enemy base, stealth and assassination, that sort of thing... The fun stuff that the mercenary majors get to do.
Mihl Pakorhma : Something you can sink your claws into! How did it go again? You wanted to impress the prince of a foreign nation with your dazzling swordplay, enter into a forbidden rrromance, then become a wealthy princess, rrright....?
Tihl Midurhi : What... what about it!? A girl can drrream, can't she!?
???: Oh, I say, can anyone help me!? Anyone at alll?
Tihl Midurhi : ...?
The mysterious figure is a tall Elvaan male fighting a scorpion nearby....
Tihl Midurhi : Would you look at that! You don't see that kind of prrretty down south! Mihl! PLAYER! We've got to help him!
Mihl Pakorhma : Are you serrrious?
Rachemace : Oh, I say, jolly good show. I was about to become afternoon tea for that beast. And what fortune to be rescued by such enchanting maidens.
Tihl Midurhi : Hehe. You rrreally should be more careful out here in the wilds, you know!
Mihl Pakorhma : Tihl... One handsome face and we've lost her...
Tihl Midurhi : Speaking of which, what brrrings you out here all alone in the first place?
Rachemace : I am actually part of a San d'Orian reconnaissance party. Was Am. Er.... Ahem. To cut a long story short, we "acquired" one of those Yagudo one hundred eight-knot quipus and the feathered fiends were none too pleased... They chased us down, and in the ensuing chaos I was separated from my unit and had the quipus stripped from me. I then had the misfortune to come across that creature...
Tihl Midurhi : A trrragic tale...
Rachemace : A quipus may contain vital information on troop movements and the like, and we were on our way back to San d'Oria to have it deciphered.
Tihl Midurhi : If... if you don't mind, we'd be happy to help you get it back.
Rachemace : Oh, I say, that's jolly decent of you!
Mihl Pakorhma : Er, Tihl... shouldn't we be getting back to Fort Karugo-Narugo...?
Tihl Midurhi : How can you say that!? Do you mean to leave this delectable -- er, distrrrressed soldier to the whims of fate!? (My instincts are telling me we're on to something big. And if this information is as important as I think it is, we could be looking at instant prrromotion to mercenary captains!)
Mihl Pakorhma : (Rrrreally? We won't just have our hides skinned by the boss for defying orders?)
Tihl Midurhi : Assuming we manage to "salvage" this quipus of yours, would you be willing to share the deciphered information?
Rachemace : Of a certain! There is no reason why this information should not be disclosed to our courageous allies. Your generous and noble words have impressed and captivated me, fair lady!
Tihl Midurhi : Oh, stop now... Ahem. Well then, time to get to work! Mihl, PLAYER, let's split up and find this one hundred eight-knot quipu! We rrrendezvous here at this gate!
You find the quipu, then return to the Jeuno gate.
Scene 2
Rachemace : Oh, I say, you found it! Jolly good!
Tihl Midurhi : Grrreat work, PLAYER!
Rachemace : My thanks-- to all of you! I am overcome by Windurst's compassion.
Tihl Midurhi : Time to head to San d'Oria! Um... how exactly do we decipher this thing, anyway?
Rachemace : A simple matter. I am acquainted with a friar who has a contract with a beastmen interpreter. I plan to have this interpreter unlock the mysteries of the quipus's knots.
Tihl Midurhi : An interprrreter, huh...?
Rachemace : Is our merry band ready to go? This way to the kingdom of the red lion!
Southern San d'Oria (S)
This cutscene can be viewed in game by talking to Zidalf at (H-8) in Southern San d'Oria (S). Select the cutscene "Knot Quite There (pt.1)".
Pattna-Ottna : Wait, aren't you ladies members of the Cobra Unit...?
Tihl Midurhi : Who wants to know...?
Oh, it's Taurean Master Caster Pattna-Ottna!
What are you doing here!?
Pattna-Ottna : Now that's an interesting story.
You see, I was sentaru here to request Royal Knight reinforcements...
Flashback to inside Chateau d'Oraguille
Pattna-Ottna : I come before you to formally requestaru Royal Knight reinforcements for Fort Karugo-Narugo. Our beleaguered federation humbly-wumbly begs for your aid...
Yrvaulaier S Cousseraux : I understand your situation, and I would dearly love to be of assistance.
Yrvaulaier S Cousseraux : However, the logistics involved in preparing troops for cross-continent travel...
Yrvaulaier S Cousseraux : I am afraid it would be most impossible to find a unit capable of undertaking the journey at such short notice.
Ashmea B Greinner : General Cousseraux.
If I may be so bold, I believe my own unit would not be incapable of making such a trek...
Yrvaulaier S Cousseraux : Out of the question! Your troops have an important mission before them.
Yrvaulaier S Cousseraux : I will abide no unnecessary impediments to our plans for the Sauromugue Champaign.
Yrvaulaier S Cousseraux : I hope you understand my position, Master Caster.
Yrvaulaier S Cousseraux : Please inform your Warlock Warlord that the Royal Knights will do what they can. However, nothing can be promised at this time.
Pattna-Ottna : ....
End of flashback
Pattna-Ottna : And that was the endy-wend of that.
Tihl Midurhi: Huh... Um, actually, isn't this kind of talk confidential or something?
Pattna-Ottna : It's no secretaru.
And I appreciate having a shoulder to gripey-wipe on.
Pattna-Ottna : I'm afraid the Elvaan bear a grudge for the time we ruled the continent -- their pride preventarus them from lending us the help we need.
Rachemace : ...
Rachemace : Sir Joseaneaut, the Temple Knight I spoke of, is currently staying in Squire Alley. Let us be on our way...
Squire Alley
This cutscene can be viewed in game by talking to Zidalf at (H-8) in Southern San d'Oria (S). Select the cutscene "Knot Quite There (pt.2)".
Joseaneaut : Rachemace!
How glad I amm to see you safely returned.
You were reported as missing by your unit. And who might your companion be?
Rachemace : These fine individuals are citizens of Windurst that extricated me from a rather harrowing predicament.
Tihl Midurhi : So honest and humble...
Mihl Pakorhma : Tihl, give it a rrrest...
Joseaneaut : Well then, I offer up my most heartfelt gratitude.
May the Goddess watch over you all...
Rachemace : Joseaneaut, I actually come to you with an urgent request.
Would you by any chance be able to decipher this Yagudo rope message?
Joseaneaut : A rope message?
Perhaps my Goblin friend will have some insight.
Leada! Could you take a look at this?
Leadavox : A gold piece for the guide.♪
A gold piece for the Goblin.♪
Joseaneaut : Can you decipher these knots?
It appears to be some sort of Yagudo code...
Leadavox : Leada is as bright as a box of brass tacks. Piece of crab cake.
One gold beastcoin each.
Joseaneaut : Very well, but allow me to collect the fee a little later.
It seems our guests are in a hurry.
Leadavox : You got no business sense, Josea.
Well, I'll get my gold one way or another.
Let's see this rope...
Leadavox : Hmm... hmm?
Somethin' about magic gear?
Joseaneaut : Magical equipment?
Leadavox : Gear that makes magic useless.
The Yagudo have made some, it says.
Joseaneaut : The Yagudo have developed equipment that renders magic ineffective!?
Rachemace : Magic-resistant armor?
San d'Oria also once attempted to create such equipment in our own conflict with Windurst...
Have the Yagudo been successful where our artisans have failed!?
Leadavox : There's more.
"Manifest, lead us to the city.
Windurst... will fall."
Joseaneaut : Windurst will fall?
A prophecy, mayhap?
Tihl Midurhi : Ugh, gives me the chills...
Rachemace : This is ominous news.
It seems those Royal Knight reinforcements are even more vital than our Tarutaru friends anticipated...
Joseaneaut : Reinforcements? What talk is this?
Rachemace : It seems a request was made recently...
Joseaneaut : And General Cousseraux refused this request?
How callous...
Rachemace : Joseaneaut.
I mean to somehow convince the general to reconsider his decision to lend troops to our allies.
Rachemace : And if it means aiding my newfound saviors, I will travel to Windurst alone, at the cost of my knighthood...
Joseaneaut : Though I hold little sway in military matters, I shall add my voice to your plea.
Joseaneaut : And I think it best that you return to Windurst.
It will not help our cause if we are thought part of some Tarutaru conspiracy.
Tihl Midurhi : I'll never understand politics...
Joseaneaut : One moment.
Please accept this platinum beastcoin as a token of my gratitude.
May it alleviate some of the cost of your journey.
Walking away...
Mihl Pakorhma : Looks like your nose for trrrouble landed us right in the thick of it, Tihl.
Mihl Pakorhma : Is Windurst going to come through this okay, you think?
Maybe I should be making plans to board the next ship out...
Tihl Midurhi : Bite your tongue.
Magic-rrresistant armor isn't gonna help the Yagudo against Mithran blades and arrows!
Mihl Pakorhma : I guess you're rrright.
Hmm, I wonder if Rachemace and his friar buddy will be alright.
Tihl Midurhi : I'm sure they'll be fine.
I mean, how could anyone rrresist the charms of two such handsome lads?
Mihl Pakorhma : Those Royal Knights are a stubborn lot according to the Tarutaru.
I hear they put people to the sword for stepping out of line.
Tihl Midurhi : P-put them to the sword!?
But that would be such a waste!
Tihl Midurhi : We gotta hurry back to Karugo-Narugo and rrresport to the boss!
Mihl Pakorhma : Yeah, about time we were heading out.
We'll see you there, PLAYER!
