50,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_011","I will continue to instruct you, but as I have said before, practical experience will serve you far better than any tiresome lecture. It is important that you treat every battle as an opportunity to learn."

53,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_ILIUD_000_060","I am ashamed that it did not occur to me earlier, but I recall an incident that may be connected to this dreadful cult."
54,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_ILIUD_000_061","A merchant's son was kidnapped in Ul'dah some moons ago...
When the merchant came forth to pay the ransom, however, both father and child were murdered. The perpetrators of this terrible act were never unmasked, but evidence at the scene suggests the two were slain by thaumaturgy."
55,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_ILIUD_000_062","What is more, this merchant was a native of Ala Mhigo. Is this not also true of the father of the girls you rescued...?"
56,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_063","Aye, he is Ala Mhigan-born. A man by the name of Wilkin, so his wife told me. Could <Emphasis>he</Emphasis> have been the true target of the kidnappers?"
57,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_064","We must speak with Master Wilkin at once─there are too many similarities in these cases to ignore. And I would not put it past this cult to make a direct attempt on his life!"
58,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_ILIUD_000_065","In anticipation of such action, I inquired after Master Wilkin's trading itinerary. It seems he is presently conducting business at the Manderville Gold Saucer, delivering stock for game prizes or some such."
59,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_066","Very resourceful of you, Father, thank you! Come, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>: the Gold Saucer awaits!"
60,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_SYSTEM_000_067","To gain access to the Gold Saucer, you must first accept (or have completed) the quest “It Could Happen to You,” available at level 15 in Ul'dah on the Steps of Nald."

62,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_ILIUD_000_070","X'rhun has already departed for the Gold Saucer. I can only hope that our concerns for Master Wilkin's life prove unfounded..."
63,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_090","My apologies, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─I neglected to ask if you were a patron of these halls. But we are here now, and Master Wilkin is still occupied with his trade. I am tempted to eavesdrop on his dealings to learn what manner of man we are saving..."
64,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_091","Let us play the part of happy gamblers, and wander by his meeting in the Manderville Lounge. Just look for the wonderfully hideous golden statue!"
65,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_120","...There's our Master Wilkin."
66,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_RESTLESSGUY02578_000_121","Thank you again...
We'll make the most of this gift, I promise you!"
67,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_122","Back straight and head up now, lad, or folk will become suspicious. You've done naught wrong, besides─the coin is fair-gotten and freely given."
68,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_123","The young man he was talking to... He is known to me. One of the lads belonging to the Ala Mhigan Resistance, if I'm not mistaken."
69,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_124","Well, this is clearly more than some simple business deal. But why waste time on suppositions when we can speak with the merchant himself, eh?"
70,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_130","We've stumbled upon some secret dealing─that much is obvious─but I suggest we allow Master Wilkin the chance to explain himself."
71,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_150","<If(PlayerParameter(4))>Mistress<Else/>Master</If> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and Master X'rhun! Glad I am for this chance to thank you in person for the kindness you showed my daughters! A “Father Iliud” sent word to expect you."
72,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_151","...He also mentioned that the danger to my family is not yet passed. You suspect that I have been marked for assassination?"
73,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_152","Aye. Have you any idea of the why? Say, retaliation for funneling funds to the Ala Mhigan Resistance under the guise of standard business dealings?"
74,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_153","...I thought as much. I recognized your “client” as one of the young freedom fighters I'd seen in Gyr Abania."
75,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_154","Oh, rest assured that your secrets are safe with us! I myself have spent the better part of my life aiding the Resistance. Your dealings do, however, seem to have drawn some rather unpleasant attention."
76,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_155","Very well... You saved my children's lives, and so I will trust you with the truth."
77,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_156","Many Ala Mhigan refugees are employed here at the Gold Saucer, in no small part due to the wishes of the establishment's owner, Lord Godbert Manderville."
78,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_157","Several of these employees have direct ties to the Resistance─the young man you saw being one such conduit. As to why I meet them here, well...it is a matter of hiding the trees within the forest."
79,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_158","There was another incident not so long ago where the son of an Ala Mhigan-born merchant was kidnapped by a cadre of mages. When the father attempted to pay the ransom, the fiends slew both parent and child. I fear this scenario was one they hoped to repeat with you..."
80,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_159","Yes, a terrible turn of events, that was! I did not know the merchant personally, but I knew of his efforts. He, too, was said to have supported the Resistance with the fortune he made in Ul'dah."
81,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_160","And there we have our connection─they seek to eradicate Resistance sympathizers. I sense the hand of the Empire behind this cabal."
82,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_161","Ah, but the assassins themselves favor magic, so they are unlikely to be native Garleans. The puppeteer could very well be a hired killer, or mayhap a recruit from a subjugated province... We shall learn the truth in due time. For now, however, we must take steps to keep you alive!"
83,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_162","Lord Manderville is a member of the Syndicate, and the Gold Saucer is his domain. Striking at me here would be difficult to say the least. I do, however, have pressing business to attend to in Vesper Bay in the coming days."
84,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_163","Vesper Bay, eh? Given its peculiar approach, I can think of a dozen places from which assassins could stage an ambush..."
85,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_164","Might you entrust your safety to <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and me? Together, we will prove more than a match for any ambushers, and it would also afford us greater insight into our foe."
86,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_165","...You certainly appear capable. Aye, I will gladly accept your protection."
87,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_166","Then it's settled! Let us travel ahead to Vesper Bay and scout out the area."
88,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_ILIUD_000_170","So it seems the father of the girls was the true target...
Master Wilkin is fortunate, then, to have not one but two red mages to guard him from harm."
89,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_180","Good, you're here! Master Wilkin has begun his overland trek from Ul'dah."
90,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_181","Before he left, I asked the good merchant to discuss his travel arrangements with less than his usual discretion. Assuming the assassins have eyes and ears on their target, we can assume they will have moved to occupy the most favorable ambush sites."
91,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_182","Now, if I were intent on murdering a lone traveler, I would choose one of two options. The first being the alleys here in Vesper Bay, and the second being the long, dark tunnel leading into the town."
92,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_183","I propose we split up and secure both areas. I will take the back streets, and you can have the old mining shaft. Sweep the tunnel clean of ambushers, then meet me back here when you are sure the route is safe!"
93,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_190","I will root out any assassins lurking here in the alleyways. If you would scour the tunnel clear of ambushers, then Master Wilkin should arrive none the worse for wear!"
94,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_210","Defeated their ambush, did you? Well done! ...As you can see, they had a second group waiting in the wings."
95,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_211","Your opponents were the same mute attackers as before, yes? I pity these cursed pawns, but we cannot let mercy stay our hands─they are little different from the walking dead, and no art can restore them. I did, however, allow one to escape my blade."
96,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_212","On purpose, of course! He seemed eager to disengage, and so I obliged. He limped off towards the coast, but with the wound I gave him he'll not have fled far."
97,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_213","I will track this last assassin to his destination. Pray remain here and greet Master Wilkin. He should be arriving through your secured tunnel any moment now!"
98,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_240","Ah, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Mistress<Else/>Master</If> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Here I am, and with nary a scratch upon my person. My deepest thanks."
99,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_241","You have saved my family, and for that I can never truly repay you. But I must at least try. Pray share this gift with Master X'rhun."
100,"TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_242","My supplier will be waiting, and so I must take my leave of you. May Nald enrich you and bless your endeavors!"

67 63 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_090 My apologies, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─I neglected to ask if you were a patron of these halls. But we are here now, and Master Wilkin is still occupied with his trade. I am tempted to eavesdrop on his dealings to learn what manner of man we are saving...
68 64 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_091 Let us play the part of happy gamblers, and wander by his meeting in the Manderville Lounge. Just look for the wonderfully hideous golden statue!
69 65 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_120 ...There's our Master Wilkin.
70 66 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_RESTLESSGUY02578_000_121 Thank you again... We'll make the most of this gift, I promise you! Thank you again... We'll make the most of this gift, I promise you!
71 67 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_122 Back straight and head up now, lad, or folk will become suspicious. You've done naught wrong, besides─the coin is fair-gotten and freely given.
72 68 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_123 The young man he was talking to... He is known to me. One of the lads belonging to the Ala Mhigan Resistance, if I'm not mistaken.
73 69 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_124 Well, this is clearly more than some simple business deal. But why waste time on suppositions when we can speak with the merchant himself, eh?
74 70 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_130 We've stumbled upon some secret dealing─that much is obvious─but I suggest we allow Master Wilkin the chance to explain himself.
75 71 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_150 <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Mistress<Else/>Master</If> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and Master X'rhun! Glad I am for this chance to thank you in person for the kindness you showed my daughters! A “Father Iliud” sent word to expect you.
76 72 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_151 ...He also mentioned that the danger to my family is not yet passed. You suspect that I have been marked for assassination?
77 73 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_152 Aye. Have you any idea of the why? Say, retaliation for funneling funds to the Ala Mhigan Resistance under the guise of standard business dealings?
78 74 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_153 ...I thought as much. I recognized your “client” as one of the young freedom fighters I'd seen in Gyr Abania.
79 75 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_154 Oh, rest assured that your secrets are safe with us! I myself have spent the better part of my life aiding the Resistance. Your dealings do, however, seem to have drawn some rather unpleasant attention.
80 76 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_155 Very well... You saved my children's lives, and so I will trust you with the truth.
81 77 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_156 Many Ala Mhigan refugees are employed here at the Gold Saucer, in no small part due to the wishes of the establishment's owner, Lord Godbert Manderville.
82 78 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_157 Several of these employees have direct ties to the Resistance─the young man you saw being one such conduit. As to why I meet them here, well...it is a matter of hiding the trees within the forest.
83 79 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_158 There was another incident not so long ago where the son of an Ala Mhigan-born merchant was kidnapped by a cadre of mages. When the father attempted to pay the ransom, the fiends slew both parent and child. I fear this scenario was one they hoped to repeat with you...
84 80 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_159 Yes, a terrible turn of events, that was! I did not know the merchant personally, but I knew of his efforts. He, too, was said to have supported the Resistance with the fortune he made in Ul'dah.
85 81 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_160 And there we have our connection─they seek to eradicate Resistance sympathizers. I sense the hand of the Empire behind this cabal.
86 82 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_161 Ah, but the assassins themselves favor magic, so they are unlikely to be native Garleans. The puppeteer could very well be a hired killer, or mayhap a recruit from a subjugated province... We shall learn the truth in due time. For now, however, we must take steps to keep you alive!
87 83 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_162 Lord Manderville is a member of the Syndicate, and the Gold Saucer is his domain. Striking at me here would be difficult to say the least. I do, however, have pressing business to attend to in Vesper Bay in the coming days.
88 84 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_163 Vesper Bay, eh? Given its peculiar approach, I can think of a dozen places from which assassins could stage an ambush...
89 85 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_164 Might you entrust your safety to <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and me? Together, we will prove more than a match for any ambushers, and it would also afford us greater insight into our foe.
90 86 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_165 ...You certainly appear capable. Aye, I will gladly accept your protection.
91 87 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_166 Then it's settled! Let us travel ahead to Vesper Bay and scout out the area.
92 88 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_ILIUD_000_170 So it seems the father of the girls was the true target... Master Wilkin is fortunate, then, to have not one but two red mages to guard him from harm. So it seems the father of the girls was the true target... Master Wilkin is fortunate, then, to have not one but two red mages to guard him from harm.
93 89 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_180 Good, you're here! Master Wilkin has begun his overland trek from Ul'dah.
94 90 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_181 Before he left, I asked the good merchant to discuss his travel arrangements with less than his usual discretion. Assuming the assassins have eyes and ears on their target, we can assume they will have moved to occupy the most favorable ambush sites.
95 91 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_182 Now, if I were intent on murdering a lone traveler, I would choose one of two options. The first being the alleys here in Vesper Bay, and the second being the long, dark tunnel leading into the town.
96 92 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_183 I propose we split up and secure both areas. I will take the back streets, and you can have the old mining shaft. Sweep the tunnel clean of ambushers, then meet me back here when you are sure the route is safe!
97 93 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_190 I will root out any assassins lurking here in the alleyways. If you would scour the tunnel clear of ambushers, then Master Wilkin should arrive none the worse for wear!
98 94 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_210 Defeated their ambush, did you? Well done! ...As you can see, they had a second group waiting in the wings.
99 95 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_211 Your opponents were the same mute attackers as before, yes? I pity these cursed pawns, but we cannot let mercy stay our hands─they are little different from the walking dead, and no art can restore them. I did, however, allow one to escape my blade.
100 96 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_212 On purpose, of course! He seemed eager to disengage, and so I obliged. He limped off towards the coast, but with the wound I gave him he'll not have fled far.
101 97 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_213 I will track this last assassin to his destination. Pray remain here and greet Master Wilkin. He should be arriving through your secured tunnel any moment now!
102 98 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_240 Ah, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Mistress<Else/>Master</If> <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Here I am, and with nary a scratch upon my person. My deepest thanks.
103 99 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_241 You have saved my family, and for that I can never truly repay you. But I must at least try. Pray share this gift with Master X'rhun.
104 100 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANT02578_000_242 My supplier will be waiting, and so I must take my leave of you. May Nald enrich you and bless your endeavors!
105 101 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_280 We've had a stroke of luck! The man I followed leapt into the sea and was fished out by others in a rowboat. I last saw them making for a merchantman anchored out in the bay.
106 102 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_281 Considering the absence of fear, I must assume the one who fled had been commanded to report the outcome of the ambush. If we can identify the ship, then we will be one step closer to unmasking this vile puppeteer. And then we can─ Hm? Another token from the esteemed Master Wilkin?
107 103 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_290 How kind that he seeks to reward us. Ah, and there is a note here as well addressed to us both. Ahem.
108 104 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANTSLETTER02578_000_291 (-Wilkin's Note-)<Emphasis>You have my eternal gratitude. Twice now has my life been saved by red mages. And twice by one in particular.</Emphasis>
109 105 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_MERCHANTSLETTER02578_000_292 (-Wilkin's Note-)<Emphasis>Mayhap you remember the day, twenty years ago, when the Crimson Duelists fought to save the life of a child. I remember you, Master X'rhun, for your scarlet garb was forever etched into my memory.</Emphasis>
110 106 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_293 'Tis a strange feeling to be recognized for a decades-old deed. Had he not known me, would he have been so ready to place his life in our hands, I wonder.
111 107 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_294 Aside from a few wrinkles, I suppose I have changed little in my appearance. I was clothed thus when we worked to evacuate our fellow Ala Mhigans...even as the homeland we knew crumbled around us.
112 108 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_295 But in the end, it is the lives that matter, not the place. Regardless of the circumstances, a red mage must strive to achieve the greatest good.
113 109 TEXT_JOBRDM520_02578_XRHUNTIA_000_296 So I have always believed. Our actions are our own reward, but a little acknowledgement does wonders to sustain one's faith, eh?
