0,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000010_MYSTERYVOICE","Ah, there you are. May I assume you've had your fill of rest?"
1,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000020_MYSTERYVOICE","That is well. Now that we are all present, let us speak of our plan."
2,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000030_MYSTERYVOICE","Thus far, we have vanquished four Lightwardens, restoring night to much of Norvrandt."
3,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000040_MYSTERYVOICE","Only one remains─that of Kholusia. And with Ryne to guide us, I am certain we will find it."
4,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000050_ALISAIE","We're so close now. If we can just take care of this one last Warden, we'll rob the sin eaters of their final foothold, and drive them out of Norvrandt once and for all."
5,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000060_ALISAIE","It will be a new beginning for the First─a chance for the people to rebuild their world."
6,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000070_ALPHINAUD","In short, a prize worth fighting for."
7,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000080_URIANGER","And in thus delivering the First from destruction, so too shall we unsow the seeds of the Eighth Umbral Calamity."
8,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000090_YSHTOLA","Do you hear? Your dreamed-of Rejoining is in jeopardy. Are you sure you're not tempted to intervene?"
9,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000100_EMETSELCH","(SIGH)"
10,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000110_EMETSELCH","You labor under the misapprehension that vanquishing the sin eaters is tantamount to saving the world. It is not."
11,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000120_EMETSELCH","In truth, you only delay the inevitable, lengthening your fleeting lives by the smallest of margins."
12,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000130_EMETSELCH","'Twould be churlish of me to deny you this small concession, close as we've become. Foolish and misguided though you are, you are not without charm."
13,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000140_EMETSELCH","Each and every one of you is possessed of a noble heart. When the weak want for succor, you do not hesitate to provide it."
14,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000150_EMETSELCH","Alas, your nobility is shortsighted. You think only of the problem in front of your nose."
15,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000160_EMETSELCH","A limitation of your ephemeral existence."
16,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000170_ALPHINAUD","Our lives may seem short and insignificant to the likes of you. But one does not need to be an eternal being to achieve lasting change."
17,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000180_EMETSELCH","Ah, if I may stop you there─I do not claim that we Ascians are <Emphasis>special</Emphasis>. That is another misconception."
18,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000190_EMETSELCH","In the beginning, everyone─<Emphasis>everyone</Emphasis> lived nigh for eternity. Such was the natural order of things. But like so much else, this was taken from you."
19,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000200_EMETSELCH","You won't object if I borrow your plaything."
20,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000210_EMETSELCH","In the distant past, when the world was one and whole, a great calamity threatened all life."
21,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000220_EMETSELCH","It began without warning. The very laws of the star were warped and broken, and chaos swiftly spread throughout the land."
22,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000230_EMETSELCH","Faced with annihilation, we sought to imbue the star with its own will. Thus was Zodiark born, and by His power was order restored."
23,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000240_EMETSELCH","Ere long, however, thankless fools began to fear that Zodiark's might was too great. And so they conjured another to keep Him in check─your own dear Hydaelyn."
24,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000250_YSHTOLA","And the two beings waged war until, with a single, devastating blow, Hydaelyn unmade Zodiark, scattering his being across space and time. So you told us in the Qitana Ravel."
25,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000260_EMETSELCH","Yes, yes... And <Emphasis>there</Emphasis> began our woes─with Hydaelyn's blow, and all that it wrought."
26,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000270_EMETSELCH","As a counterbalance to Zodiark, Hydaelyn was created with the power to enervate Her foe."
27,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000280_EMETSELCH","This singular ability strikes not at such banal things as flesh, but <Emphasis>everything</Emphasis> that defines the target, diluting its existence."
28,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000290_EMETSELCH","For example, were She to strike you..."
29,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000300_EMETSELCH","Two individuals, identical in appearance, yet reduced in all respects. Strength, intelligence, the soul itself─all is halved."
30,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000310_EMETSELCH","Do you see? This selfsame fate befell not only Zodiark, but the very star."
31,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000320_EMETSELCH","Only three were fortunate enough to escape the sundering─me being one of them."
32,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000330_EMETSELCH","When I beheld the shattered remnants of our home, I knew deepest despair."
33,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000340_EMETSELCH","The inhabitants of these fourteen fragments were feeble, frail, and foolish. Oblivious to their imperfection, ignorant of their past."
34,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000350_EMETSELCH","Malformed creatures thrashing blindly about. Pitiful. Disturbing. Depressing."
35,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000360_EMETSELCH","So we took it upon ourselves to rejoin the worlds. But in our eagerness─and, I confess, our ignorance─we erred, and made a useless void of the Thirteenth."
36,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000370_EMETSELCH","It was only afterwards that we discovered a connection 'twixt Source and shard─a flow of energy that maintains elemental balance. And thus did we arrive at our time-honored modus operandi."
37,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000380_YSHTOLA","From a purely Ascian standpoint, it could be said that what you seek to do is only logical."
38,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000390_YSHTOLA","But that would be to ignore the immeasurable destruction wrought with each Rejoining. You have murdered millions. And this we cannot condone."
39,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000400_EMETSELCH","By your fragmented existence, you continue to give rise to tragedies far crueler than any calamity."
40,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000410_EMETSELCH","But yes, moral relativism and all that. Case in point─I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you."
41,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000420_EMETSELCH","Oh, don't look at me like that. You for whom I have only the highest expectations."
42,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000430_EMETSELCH","A vaunted hero of the Source, seven times rejoined."
43,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000440_EMETSELCH","Long have I awaited one who might brave a path of lesser tragedy. A resilient soul able to endure the necessary pain. I dare to hope that my wait is over."
44,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000450_EMETSELCH","So, finish your task and slay the Lightwarden. Make proof of your usefulness. And then we may speak again."
45,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000460_LYNA","Forgive me, my lord, but this could not wait."
46,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000470_MYSTERYVOICE","Speak freely, Captain."
47,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000480_LYNA","Our informant in Kholusia sends word of unusual activity in Eulmore."
48,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000490_LYNA","It appears their forces are entrenching themselves at key points throughout the city. Making ready for an attack, by all indications."
49,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000500_MYSTERYVOICE","An intriguing use of resources. I rather doubt Lord Vauthry is concerned for the safety of his citizens..."
50,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000510_ALISAIE","You think he's harboring the Lightwarden <Emphasis>inside</Emphasis> the city walls? Even if he does have some means of controlling the sin eaters, wouldn't that be a little risky?"
51,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000520_THANCRED","Risky or not, if there is even a chance the Warden is hiding there, we will need to act fast. The longer we wait, the better prepared the Eulmorans will be."
52,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000530_MYSTERYVOICE","Agreed. See to your preparations then, and make for Kholusia."
53,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000540_MYSTERYVOICE","Gods willing, this hunt will be the last. Let us see it through to the end."
54,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000550_ALPHINAUD","We should begin by assembling in Wright. There we may assess the situation in Eulmore, and decide how best to proceed."
55,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000560_URIANGER","Strange. Passing strange..."
56,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000570_URIANGER","By their behavior, we may safely assume that they are under Vauthry's mind control."
57,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000580_URIANGER","Yet the extent of the effect seemeth to vary dramatically between subjects."
58,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000590_URIANGER","'Tis far too pronounced to be attributed simply to the vagaries of innate magical resistance."
59,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000600_ALPHINAUD","Curiouser and curiouser..."
60,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000610_ALPHINAUD","We met with no trouble en route. My thanks for securing the way."
61,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000620_ALPHINAUD","But given the state of the townsfolk, I see we were never in any danger of being recognized."
62,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000630_THANCRED","What can you tell us from here?"
63,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000640_RYNE","I sense a powerful eater...in the uppermost reaches of the city..."
64,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000650_RYNE","But there's something different about it. Its Light is...impure."
65,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000660_RYNE","We need to get closer."
66,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000670_KAISHIRR","(-???-)Ohhh! So <Emphasis>that one's</Emphasis> Alphinaud! ...Unless you're triplets?"
67,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000680_ALPHINAUD","Kai-Shirr! What are you doing here?"
68,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000690_ALISAIE","While I was scouting the area, I noticed a suspicious figure skulking about."
69,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000700_ALISAIE","So I accosted him─only to have him call me “Alphinaud.” I thought it best to bring him along."
70,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000710_KAISHIRR","You see...that informant who's been feeding secrets to the Crystarium...it's me."
71,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000720_KAISHIRR","See, after you saved my life in Eulmore, I thought about going somewhere far away. But I couldn't just leave, not without paying you back."
72,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000730_KAISHIRR","So I decided to stay here─keep an eye on things. And whenever I spotted something strange, I shared it with your friends."
73,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000740_ALPHINAUD","That took no small amount of courage. Well done."
74,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000750_THANCRED","I assume you saw what happened here."
75,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000760_KAISHIRR","Right, so, an airship flew in a bit ago, and not long after, Vauthry starts ranting and raving. You could hear him from all the way out here!"
76,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000770_KAISHIRR","Geezer was doing his nut! Shouting and screaming like someone had nicked his pie!"
77,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000780_URIANGER","'Tis like the airship bore the soldiers sent to thwart our efforts in Amh Araeng."
78,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000790_KAISHIRR","So eventually the yelling dies down...and then this hot, sticky wind comes blowing through."
79,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000800_KAISHIRR","Now that's when everyone went funny. Everyone but me. Well, me and a couple of newcomers, though even they started mumbling about Vauthry after a while. Not as bad as the rest, mind you."
80,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000810_URIANGER","Newcomers..."
81,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000820_YSHTOLA","There's something I need Ryne to see."
82,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000830_YSHTOLA","This was among the townsfolk's food stores."
83,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000840_KAISHIRR","Oh, that's just meol. Eulmore doles the stuff out."
84,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000850_RYNE","No! It...it couldn't be..."
85,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000860_RYNE","I─ I know what it is."
86,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000870_RYNE","It's sin eater. Meol is made out of sin eater."
87,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000880_YSHTOLA","So it is."
88,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000890_YSHTOLA","In limited quantities, it may have little effect on an average individual."
89,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000900_YSHTOLA","Yet if one were to consume it regularly, over a period of several years, I suspect it would do far, far more than merely nourish the body..."
90,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000910_URIANGER","That Vauthry wieldeth power over sin eaters is known. Could it be that those who partake of their flesh do thereby render themselves susceptible to his influence?"
91,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000920_URIANGER","'Twould serve to explain why the town's newer arrivals succumbed less quickly than those raised on a diet of meol."
92,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000930_ALISAIE","He's been rounding up sin eaters and feeding them to people!? Altering them mouthful by mouthful─all to stop them answering back!?"
93,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000940_ALISAIE","There are desperate souls out there <Emphasis>killing</Emphasis> themselves to escape turning! This is unforgivable! An atrocity!"
94,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000950_ALPHINAUD","These sin eaters... What if they are not simply “rounded up”?"
95,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000960_ALPHINAUD","Do you remember what we were told when first we came to the city?"
96,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000970_ALPHINAUD","""Many enter, but none leave...“"
97,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000980_ALPHINAUD","Let us put an end to it. To this “paradise” built upon the bones of the poor."
98,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000990_ALPHINAUD","Vauthry's deeds are beyond justification. Beyond forgiveness. Evil."
99,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001000_THANCRED","It's highly probable that the Lightwarden is waiting for us somewhere in there, and I'm all for going after it."
100,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001010_THANCRED","But our enemies know our faces. They know that we are coming. And they will not let us through without a fight. Like it or not, the time for stealth is passed."
101,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001020_THANCRED","Now, my friend. If you would be so good as to lead the charge."
102,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001030_VAUTHRY","Ugh... I can feel it... A dark presence in my domain!"
103,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001040_VAUTHRY","Ah! It's them! The villains who would sow chaos in my perfect paradise!"
104,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001050_VAUTHRY","Keep them away from me! I command you, keep them awaaaaaay!"
105,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001060_PUPPETMAN","Long live...Lord Vauthry..."
106,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001070_THANCRED","He would use his own people as shields."
107,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001080_ALPHINAUD","This area is older than Gatetown. There are bound to be far more civilians under Vauthry's control."
108,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001090_ALPHINAUD","But they do not act of their own free will, and we must not harm them."
109,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001100_ALISAIE","As if we ever would."
110,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001110_ALISAIE","Press on with Alphinaud. We'll hold off the civilians and join you as soon as we can."
111,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001120_RANJIT","You will find my master in his chamber..."
112,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001130_RANJIT","But only should you kill me this day─and you will not."
113,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
114,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE","Why do you go so far?"
115,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE","You're one of his puppets too."
116,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001140_RANJIT","You may think me under his spell, but I uphold Lord Vauthry's ideals of my own volition."
117,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001150_RANJIT","Man is an inherently flawed creature. In his vain pursuit of righteousness, he but sows the seeds of future conflict."
118,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001160_RANJIT","Thus have I chosen to place my hopes upon he who has transcended men. Upon he who is unbound by the vagaries of conscience."
119,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001170_RANJIT","But enough talk. I am a soldier, and you are my enemy."
120,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001180_RANJIT","Come! Let us settle this once and for all!"
121,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001190_ALPHINAUD","Lord Vauthry! Your reign of tyranny is at an end."
122,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001200_ALPHINAUD","For too long, you have preyed upon the desperation of the poor. Now you will answer for the suffering you have caused!"
123,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001210_ALPHINAUD","And if you harbor even a shred of remorse, I beseech you to use your powers to redress the balance. For the future of all in Norvrandt."
124,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001220_RYNE","No... It can't be. This is wrong. It's <Emphasis>wrong</Emphasis>!"
125,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001230_RYNE","The Warden─it's not just a sin eater. It's a man!"
126,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001240_VAUTHRY","Remorse? For the future of all? What nonsense is this?"
127,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001250_VAUTHRY","There is no justice but mine. No future but mine. No will but mine."
128,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001260_VAUTHRY","It is preordained. I was born to deliver this wretched world."
129,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001270_VAUTHRY","Me? Unseated? No, no, no, no, no..."
130,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001280_VAUTHRY","It's impossible. Inconceivable! <Emphasis>Absurd</Emphasis>! I am a great and wise king. Greatest and wisest! I reign from on high!"
131,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001290_VAUTHRY","I will not be brought low by maggots like you!"
132,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001300_VAUTHRY","(SCREAM)"
133,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001310_VAUTHRY","Oh, yes. Of course. I can begin again. Rebuild my paradise. Once I finish my dinner..."
134,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001320_RYNE","Oh gods, no─ Stop him! Thancred, stop him!"
135,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001330_ALPHINAUD","Where did he go!?"
136,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001340_ALPHINAUD","What in the heavens!?"
137,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001350_ALISAIE","Did Vauthry do that?"
138,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
139,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE","We must give chase!"
140,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE","How will we get up there?"
141,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001360_ALPHINAUD","Wait."
142,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001370_ALPHINAUD","That is Mt. Gulg, the highest peak in Kholusia. It lies on the other side of a sheer cliff, and much as I wish it were otherwise, it is beyond our reach for now."
143,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001380_ALPHINAUD","But even if it weren't─there are people here who need our help."
144,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001390_ALISAIE","Oh, Alphinaud..."
145,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001400_ALPHINAUD","Please. Even if it's only to tend to their wounds."
146,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE","What will you say?"
147,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE","I'll help too."
148,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE","You don't need my permission."
149,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE","Be quick about it."
150,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001410_ALPHINAUD","Thank you."
151,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001420_RYNE","I don't know if it will work, but if Vauthry's hold over the people is rooted in Light, I might be able to reverse its effects."
152,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001430_RYNE","Will you let me try?"
153,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001440_ALPHINAUD","Of course. We'd be grateful for any help you can provide."
154,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001450_ALISAIE","Well then, if it's decided, let's all get to work."
155,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001460_RYNE","You're going to be all right."
156,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001470_ALISAIE","I think that's the last of them."
157,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001480_ALPHINAUD","We've done all we can for the wounded."
158,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001490_ALPHINAUD","As for the rest..."
159,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001500_DULIACHAI","U-Um...a-aren't you Alphinaud? The painter boy?"
160,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001510_DULIACHAI","What in the world is going on? Did something happen to us?"
161,"TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001520_ALPHINAUD","Let me handle this."

4 0 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000010_MYSTERYVOICE Ah, there you are. May I assume you've had your fill of rest?
5 1 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000020_MYSTERYVOICE That is well. Now that we are all present, let us speak of our plan.
6 2 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000030_MYSTERYVOICE Thus far, we have vanquished four Lightwardens, restoring night to much of Norvrandt.
7 3 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000040_MYSTERYVOICE Only one remains─that of Kholusia. And with Ryne to guide us, I am certain we will find it.
8 4 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000050_ALISAIE We're so close now. If we can just take care of this one last Warden, we'll rob the sin eaters of their final foothold, and drive them out of Norvrandt once and for all.
9 5 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000060_ALISAIE It will be a new beginning for the First─a chance for the people to rebuild their world.
10 6 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000070_ALPHINAUD In short, a prize worth fighting for.
11 7 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000080_URIANGER And in thus delivering the First from destruction, so too shall we unsow the seeds of the Eighth Umbral Calamity.
12 8 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000090_YSHTOLA Do you hear? Your dreamed-of Rejoining is in jeopardy. Are you sure you're not tempted to intervene?
13 9 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000100_EMETSELCH (SIGH)
14 10 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000110_EMETSELCH You labor under the misapprehension that vanquishing the sin eaters is tantamount to saving the world. It is not.
15 11 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000120_EMETSELCH In truth, you only delay the inevitable, lengthening your fleeting lives by the smallest of margins.
16 12 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000130_EMETSELCH 'Twould be churlish of me to deny you this small concession, close as we've become. Foolish and misguided though you are, you are not without charm.
17 13 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000140_EMETSELCH Each and every one of you is possessed of a noble heart. When the weak want for succor, you do not hesitate to provide it.
18 14 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000150_EMETSELCH Alas, your nobility is shortsighted. You think only of the problem in front of your nose.
19 15 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000160_EMETSELCH A limitation of your ephemeral existence.
20 16 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000170_ALPHINAUD Our lives may seem short and insignificant to the likes of you. But one does not need to be an eternal being to achieve lasting change.
21 17 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000180_EMETSELCH Ah, if I may stop you there─I do not claim that we Ascians are <Emphasis>special</Emphasis>. That is another misconception.
22 18 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000190_EMETSELCH In the beginning, everyone─<Emphasis>everyone</Emphasis> lived nigh for eternity. Such was the natural order of things. But like so much else, this was taken from you.
23 19 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000200_EMETSELCH You won't object if I borrow your plaything.
24 20 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000210_EMETSELCH In the distant past, when the world was one and whole, a great calamity threatened all life.
25 21 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000220_EMETSELCH It began without warning. The very laws of the star were warped and broken, and chaos swiftly spread throughout the land.
26 22 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000230_EMETSELCH Faced with annihilation, we sought to imbue the star with its own will. Thus was Zodiark born, and by His power was order restored.
27 23 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000240_EMETSELCH Ere long, however, thankless fools began to fear that Zodiark's might was too great. And so they conjured another to keep Him in check─your own dear Hydaelyn.
28 24 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000250_YSHTOLA And the two beings waged war until, with a single, devastating blow, Hydaelyn unmade Zodiark, scattering his being across space and time. So you told us in the Qitana Ravel.
29 25 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000260_EMETSELCH Yes, yes... And <Emphasis>there</Emphasis> began our woes─with Hydaelyn's blow, and all that it wrought.
30 26 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000270_EMETSELCH As a counterbalance to Zodiark, Hydaelyn was created with the power to enervate Her foe.
31 27 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000280_EMETSELCH This singular ability strikes not at such banal things as flesh, but <Emphasis>everything</Emphasis> that defines the target, diluting its existence.
32 28 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000290_EMETSELCH For example, were She to strike you...
33 29 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000300_EMETSELCH Two individuals, identical in appearance, yet reduced in all respects. Strength, intelligence, the soul itself─all is halved.
34 30 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000310_EMETSELCH Do you see? This selfsame fate befell not only Zodiark, but the very star.
35 31 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000320_EMETSELCH Only three were fortunate enough to escape the sundering─me being one of them.
36 32 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000330_EMETSELCH When I beheld the shattered remnants of our home, I knew deepest despair.
37 33 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000340_EMETSELCH The inhabitants of these fourteen fragments were feeble, frail, and foolish. Oblivious to their imperfection, ignorant of their past.
38 34 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000350_EMETSELCH Malformed creatures thrashing blindly about. Pitiful. Disturbing. Depressing.
39 35 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000360_EMETSELCH So we took it upon ourselves to rejoin the worlds. But in our eagerness─and, I confess, our ignorance─we erred, and made a useless void of the Thirteenth.
40 36 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000370_EMETSELCH It was only afterwards that we discovered a connection 'twixt Source and shard─a flow of energy that maintains elemental balance. And thus did we arrive at our time-honored modus operandi.
41 37 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000380_YSHTOLA From a purely Ascian standpoint, it could be said that what you seek to do is only logical.
42 38 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000390_YSHTOLA But that would be to ignore the immeasurable destruction wrought with each Rejoining. You have murdered millions. And this we cannot condone.
43 39 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000400_EMETSELCH By your fragmented existence, you continue to give rise to tragedies far crueler than any calamity.
44 40 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000410_EMETSELCH But yes, moral relativism and all that. Case in point─I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you.
45 41 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000420_EMETSELCH Oh, don't look at me like that. You for whom I have only the highest expectations.
46 42 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000430_EMETSELCH A vaunted hero of the Source, seven times rejoined.
47 43 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000440_EMETSELCH Long have I awaited one who might brave a path of lesser tragedy. A resilient soul able to endure the necessary pain. I dare to hope that my wait is over.
48 44 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000450_EMETSELCH So, finish your task and slay the Lightwarden. Make proof of your usefulness. And then we may speak again.
49 45 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000460_LYNA Forgive me, my lord, but this could not wait.
50 46 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000470_MYSTERYVOICE Speak freely, Captain.
51 47 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000480_LYNA Our informant in Kholusia sends word of unusual activity in Eulmore.
52 48 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000490_LYNA It appears their forces are entrenching themselves at key points throughout the city. Making ready for an attack, by all indications.
53 49 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000500_MYSTERYVOICE An intriguing use of resources. I rather doubt Lord Vauthry is concerned for the safety of his citizens...
54 50 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000510_ALISAIE You think he's harboring the Lightwarden <Emphasis>inside</Emphasis> the city walls? Even if he does have some means of controlling the sin eaters, wouldn't that be a little risky?
55 51 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000520_THANCRED Risky or not, if there is even a chance the Warden is hiding there, we will need to act fast. The longer we wait, the better prepared the Eulmorans will be.
56 52 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000530_MYSTERYVOICE Agreed. See to your preparations then, and make for Kholusia.
57 53 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000540_MYSTERYVOICE Gods willing, this hunt will be the last. Let us see it through to the end.
58 54 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000550_ALPHINAUD We should begin by assembling in Wright. There we may assess the situation in Eulmore, and decide how best to proceed.
59 55 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000560_URIANGER Strange. Passing strange...
60 56 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000570_URIANGER By their behavior, we may safely assume that they are under Vauthry's mind control.
61 57 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000580_URIANGER Yet the extent of the effect seemeth to vary dramatically between subjects.
62 58 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000590_URIANGER 'Tis far too pronounced to be attributed simply to the vagaries of innate magical resistance.
63 59 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000600_ALPHINAUD Curiouser and curiouser...
64 60 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000610_ALPHINAUD We met with no trouble en route. My thanks for securing the way.
65 61 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000620_ALPHINAUD But given the state of the townsfolk, I see we were never in any danger of being recognized.
66 62 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000630_THANCRED What can you tell us from here?
67 63 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000640_RYNE I sense a powerful eater...in the uppermost reaches of the city...
68 64 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000650_RYNE But there's something different about it. Its Light is...impure.
69 65 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000660_RYNE We need to get closer.
70 66 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000670_KAISHIRR (-???-)Ohhh! So <Emphasis>that one's</Emphasis> Alphinaud! ...Unless you're triplets?
71 67 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000680_ALPHINAUD Kai-Shirr! What are you doing here?
72 68 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000690_ALISAIE While I was scouting the area, I noticed a suspicious figure skulking about.
73 69 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000700_ALISAIE So I accosted him─only to have him call me “Alphinaud.” I thought it best to bring him along.
74 70 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000710_KAISHIRR You see...that informant who's been feeding secrets to the Crystarium...it's me.
75 71 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000720_KAISHIRR See, after you saved my life in Eulmore, I thought about going somewhere far away. But I couldn't just leave, not without paying you back.
76 72 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000730_KAISHIRR So I decided to stay here─keep an eye on things. And whenever I spotted something strange, I shared it with your friends.
77 73 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000740_ALPHINAUD That took no small amount of courage. Well done.
78 74 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000750_THANCRED I assume you saw what happened here.
79 75 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000760_KAISHIRR Right, so, an airship flew in a bit ago, and not long after, Vauthry starts ranting and raving. You could hear him from all the way out here!
80 76 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000770_KAISHIRR Geezer was doing his nut! Shouting and screaming like someone had nicked his pie!
81 77 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000780_URIANGER 'Tis like the airship bore the soldiers sent to thwart our efforts in Amh Araeng.
82 78 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000790_KAISHIRR So eventually the yelling dies down...and then this hot, sticky wind comes blowing through.
83 79 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000800_KAISHIRR Now that's when everyone went funny. Everyone but me. Well, me and a couple of newcomers, though even they started mumbling about Vauthry after a while. Not as bad as the rest, mind you.
84 80 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000810_URIANGER Newcomers...
85 81 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000820_YSHTOLA There's something I need Ryne to see.
86 82 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000830_YSHTOLA This was among the townsfolk's food stores.
87 83 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000840_KAISHIRR Oh, that's just meol. Eulmore doles the stuff out.
88 84 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000850_RYNE No! It...it couldn't be...
89 85 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000860_RYNE I─ I know what it is.
90 86 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000870_RYNE It's sin eater. Meol is made out of sin eater.
91 87 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000880_YSHTOLA So it is.
92 88 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000890_YSHTOLA In limited quantities, it may have little effect on an average individual.
93 89 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000900_YSHTOLA Yet if one were to consume it regularly, over a period of several years, I suspect it would do far, far more than merely nourish the body...
94 90 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000910_URIANGER That Vauthry wieldeth power over sin eaters is known. Could it be that those who partake of their flesh do thereby render themselves susceptible to his influence?
95 91 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000920_URIANGER 'Twould serve to explain why the town's newer arrivals succumbed less quickly than those raised on a diet of meol.
96 92 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000930_ALISAIE He's been rounding up sin eaters and feeding them to people!? Altering them mouthful by mouthful─all to stop them answering back!?
97 93 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000940_ALISAIE There are desperate souls out there <Emphasis>killing</Emphasis> themselves to escape turning! This is unforgivable! An atrocity!
98 94 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000950_ALPHINAUD These sin eaters... What if they are not simply “rounded up”?
99 95 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000960_ALPHINAUD Do you remember what we were told when first we came to the city?
100 96 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000970_ALPHINAUD "Many enter, but none leave...“
101 97 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000980_ALPHINAUD Let us put an end to it. To this “paradise” built upon the bones of the poor.
102 98 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_000990_ALPHINAUD Vauthry's deeds are beyond justification. Beyond forgiveness. Evil.
103 99 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001000_THANCRED It's highly probable that the Lightwarden is waiting for us somewhere in there, and I'm all for going after it.
104 100 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001010_THANCRED But our enemies know our faces. They know that we are coming. And they will not let us through without a fight. Like it or not, the time for stealth is passed.
105 101 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001020_THANCRED Now, my friend. If you would be so good as to lead the charge.
106 102 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001030_VAUTHRY Ugh... I can feel it... A dark presence in my domain!
107 103 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001040_VAUTHRY Ah! It's them! The villains who would sow chaos in my perfect paradise!
108 104 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001050_VAUTHRY Keep them away from me! I command you, keep them awaaaaaay!
109 105 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001060_PUPPETMAN Long live...Lord Vauthry...
110 106 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001070_THANCRED He would use his own people as shields.
111 107 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001080_ALPHINAUD This area is older than Gatetown. There are bound to be far more civilians under Vauthry's control.
112 108 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001090_ALPHINAUD But they do not act of their own free will, and we must not harm them.
113 109 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001100_ALISAIE As if we ever would.
114 110 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001110_ALISAIE Press on with Alphinaud. We'll hold off the civilians and join you as soon as we can.
115 111 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001120_RANJIT You will find my master in his chamber...
116 112 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001130_RANJIT But only should you kill me this day─and you will not.
117 113 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
118 114 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE Why do you go so far?
119 115 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE You're one of his puppets too.
120 116 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001140_RANJIT You may think me under his spell, but I uphold Lord Vauthry's ideals of my own volition.
121 117 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001150_RANJIT Man is an inherently flawed creature. In his vain pursuit of righteousness, he but sows the seeds of future conflict.
122 118 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001160_RANJIT Thus have I chosen to place my hopes upon he who has transcended men. Upon he who is unbound by the vagaries of conscience.
123 119 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001170_RANJIT But enough talk. I am a soldier, and you are my enemy.
124 120 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001180_RANJIT Come! Let us settle this once and for all!
125 121 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001190_ALPHINAUD Lord Vauthry! Your reign of tyranny is at an end.
126 122 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001200_ALPHINAUD For too long, you have preyed upon the desperation of the poor. Now you will answer for the suffering you have caused!
127 123 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001210_ALPHINAUD And if you harbor even a shred of remorse, I beseech you to use your powers to redress the balance. For the future of all in Norvrandt.
128 124 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001220_RYNE No... It can't be. This is wrong. It's <Emphasis>wrong</Emphasis>!
129 125 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001230_RYNE The Warden─it's not just a sin eater. It's a man!
130 126 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001240_VAUTHRY Remorse? For the future of all? What nonsense is this?
131 127 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001250_VAUTHRY There is no justice but mine. No future but mine. No will but mine.
132 128 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001260_VAUTHRY It is preordained. I was born to deliver this wretched world.
133 129 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001270_VAUTHRY Me? Unseated? No, no, no, no, no...
134 130 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001280_VAUTHRY It's impossible. Inconceivable! <Emphasis>Absurd</Emphasis>! I am a great and wise king. Greatest and wisest! I reign from on high!
135 131 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001290_VAUTHRY I will not be brought low by maggots like you!

140 136 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001340_ALPHINAUD What in the heavens!?
141 137 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001350_ALISAIE Did Vauthry do that?
142 138 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
143 139 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE We must give chase!

145 141 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001360_ALPHINAUD Wait.
146 142 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001370_ALPHINAUD That is Mt. Gulg, the highest peak in Kholusia. It lies on the other side of a sheer cliff, and much as I wish it were otherwise, it is beyond our reach for now.
147 143 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001380_ALPHINAUD But even if it weren't─there are people here who need our help.
148 144 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001390_ALISAIE Oh, Alphinaud...
149 145 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001400_ALPHINAUD Please. Even if it's only to tend to their wounds.
150 146 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
151 147 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE I'll help too.

154 150 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001410_ALPHINAUD Thank you.
155 151 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001420_RYNE I don't know if it will work, but if Vauthry's hold over the people is rooted in Light, I might be able to reverse its effects.
156 152 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001430_RYNE Will you let me try?
157 153 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001440_ALPHINAUD Of course. We'd be grateful for any help you can provide.
158 154 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001450_ALISAIE Well then, if it's decided, let's all get to work.
159 155 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001460_RYNE You're going to be all right.
160 156 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001470_ALISAIE I think that's the last of them.
161 157 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001480_ALPHINAUD We've done all we can for the wounded.
162 158 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001490_ALPHINAUD As for the rest...
163 159 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001500_DULIACHAI U-Um...a-aren't you Alphinaud? The painter boy?
164 160 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001510_DULIACHAI What in the world is going on? Did something happen to us?
165 161 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001520_ALPHINAUD Let me handle this.
166 162 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001530_ALPHINAUD Citizens of Eulmore. What I'm about to tell you will come as a shock.
167 163 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001540_ALPHINAUD Indeed, you may be loath to believe it. But if you trust the evidence of your senses, it is my hope that you will listen and accept the truth, unpalatable though it may be.
168 164 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001550_ALPHINAUD Vauthry is a sin eater. Everything he offered, everything he promised, was a lie...
169 165 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001560_ALISAIE They're not taking it well. And who could blame them?
170 166 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001570_EULMOREPEOPLEA Are you saying we were Vauthry's puppets all this time?
171 167 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001580_ALPHINAUD When you attacked us, you were not yourselves. That much is true.
172 168 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001590_ALPHINAUD But your conduct prior to that moment was your own. Vauthry's unnatural charisma does not absolve you of all responsibility.
173 169 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001600_ALPHINAUD Of your own free will, you came to this city and gave yourselves over to its pleasures.
174 170 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001610_ALPHINAUD And in the course of this, if you mistreated those less fortunate than you...then that too was of your own free will.
175 171 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001620_ALPHINAUD It is not for me to judge you, but for your victims. For history. For your conscience.
176 172 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001630_ALPHINAUD You have dreamed a twisted dream, but now you are awake.
177 173 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001640_ALPHINAUD You may yet share this world of ours. Join with us and each other that we might begin anew.
178 174 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001650_ALPHINAUD We've lost so many already. We dare not lose any more.
179 175 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001660_ALPHINAUD I have said my piece. My thanks for giving me the chance.
180 176 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001670_ALPHINAUD There is nothing more to be done here. Let us go after Vauthry.
181 177 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001680_EULMOREPEOPLEB Is there anything we can do to help?
182 178 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001690_EULMOREPEOPLEB You risked your lives to bring us to our senses, a-and I for one hope to repay that debt. Begin anew, as you said.
183 179 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001700_YSHTOLA Vauthry has fled to Mt. Gulg, and we mean to pursue him. Do any of you know the way?
184 180 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001710_EULMOREPEOPLEC The only way to Mt. Gulg is over the Bright Cliff. Have you an airship?
185 181 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001720_YSHTOLA We will contemplate flight only as a last resort. Were we to come under attack whilst airborne, we would have little hope of defending ourselves.
186 182 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001730_YSHTOLA If at all possible, we would prefer to travel by land. Is there a way?
187 183 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001740_EULMOREPEOPLED The Ladder is the only way up and down the cliff, but it hasn't moved in a long time.
188 184 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001750_EULMOREPEOPLED In the old days, it was operated by the mining folk who lived at the top.
189 185 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001760_EULMOREPEOPLED But after the Flood it saw less and less use, and when Lord Vauthry took control, it was abandoned altogether.
190 186 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001770_ALISAIE So we somehow need to get the Ladder working again?
191 187 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001780_EULMOREPEOPLEC It moves by means of a Talos, if that's any help. But good luck repairing that...
192 188 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001790_DULIACHAI ...Talos? Did someone say Talos!?
193 189 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001800_DULIACHAI You know all about them, don't you, dearest! If anyone can get this lift moving, it's you!
194 190 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001810_CHAINUZZ Um...well...perhaps. B-B-But see here─
195 191 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001820_DULIACHAI Oh, yes! If you want the golem restored, you may leave it to my husband!
196 192 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001830_DULIACHAI For he happens to be the heir to Daedalus Stoneworks, foremost makers of Talos, whose contracts include the renowned mining venture of Amh Araeng!
197 193 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001840_CHAINUZZ It's... Well, i-i-it's been years and years since I had anything to do with it! I-I can't just pick up a hammer and set to work!
198 194 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001850_DULIACHAI You...you can't?
199 195 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001860_CHAINUZZ N-No, th-th-that's not what I─ I-It's just, I─
200 196 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001870_CHAINUZZ ...All right, I will take a look at the Talos, but beyond that, I make no promises!
201 197 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001880_CHAINUZZ Those with strong backs, come with me. I'll need help dragging the damned thing out of the storehouse...
202 198 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001890_ALISAIE Well done, Brother.
203 199 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001900_ALPHINAUD Come, my friend. We have work to do!
204 200 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001910_EMETSELCH Would you look at that? The citizens of Eulmore engaging in what can only be described as “manual labor.” Who would have thought it possible?
205 201 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001920_EMETSELCH Do you know the most reliable way to deal with those who stubbornly refuse to see reason?
206 202 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001930_EMETSELCH You conquer them─crush them under heel. Such was the trusted method of Allag, and one still favored by Garlemald.
207 203 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001940_EMETSELCH But conquest is the <Emphasis>easy</Emphasis> part. The true challenge begins once the dust has settled─quenching the glowing embers of animosity and maintaining a semblance of peace.
208 204 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001950_EMETSELCH This requires the conqueror to treat the conquered with dignity, and the conquered to let bygones be bygones. A difficult feat to achieve.
209 205 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001960_EMETSELCH But you have achieved just that...to my considerable surprise.
210 206 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001970_EMETSELCH It's a compliment. Take it.
211 207 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001980_EMETSELCH Ahh, the vibrant energy that fills the air when like-minded souls gather. To think back on that time before time fair brings a tear to the eye.
212 208 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_001990_EMETSELCH What? You thought ancient beings like us incapable of crying?
213 209 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002000_EMETSELCH Well, rest assured that if <Emphasis>your</Emphasis> heart can be broken, then so can mine!
214 210 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002010_EMETSELCH Back when the world was whole, we had family, friends, loves...
215 211 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002020_EMETSELCH Men knew peace and contentment, and with our adamant souls, we could live for an age.
216 212 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002030_EMETSELCH There was no conflict born of want or disparity. Our differences paled into insignificance next to all we had in common.
217 213 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002040_EMETSELCH And then there was Amaurot... Never was a city more magnificent. From the humblest streets to the highest spires, she fairly gleamed...
218 214 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002050_EMETSELCH Not that you would remember any of this.
219 215 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
220 216 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE “Remember”?
221 217 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE Is this story going anywhere?
222 218 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002060_EMETSELCH Never mind.
223 219 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002070_EMETSELCH The point is: the world of old was a far better place than what we have now. I believe you would like it, having witnessed the things you have.
224 220 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002080_EMETSELCH Remember, you are of the Source. Unlike the halfmen here, you stand only to gain.
225 221 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002090_EMETSELCH Should you survive the remaining calamities, you will become our equal. A complete existence in a complete world.
226 222 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002100_EMETSELCH But such talk is a pleasure for later. Back to work, hero.
227 223 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002110_EMETSELCH Ah, there was one thing I had meant to ask.
228 224 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002120_EMETSELCH How well do you know the Exarch? Has he ever deigned to show you what hides beneath the cowl?
229 225 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002130_EMETSELCH What, <Emphasis>never</Emphasis>? Even to you? How <Emphasis>very</Emphasis> interesting...
230 226 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002140_EMETSELCH I shall enjoy working out what it means. Until next time.
231 227 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002150_DULIACHAI Ohhh, I knew you could do it, dearest! I never doubted you for a moment!
232 228 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002160_WARRIOROFDARKNESS It's alive.
233 229 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002170_WARRIOROFDARKNESS I don't know if you remember, but when we first met in this world, I was all but spent.
234 230 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002180_WARRIOROFDARKNESS I never thought to wonder why until now.
235 231 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002190_WARRIOROFDARKNESS I think it all just got to be too much.
236 232 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002200_WARRIOROFDARKNESS The guilt of causing the Flood... Knowing everyone hated me... But the worst thing was the solitude.
237 233 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002210_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Time wears you down, aye...but solitude <Emphasis>eats</Emphasis> away at you. It was <Emphasis>this</Emphasis> close to finishing me off. But as bad as it got, and as empty as I felt...I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for Emet-Selch.
238 234 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002220_WARRIOROFDARKNESS All of which is a long way of saying: don't make a choice that leaves you alone. Nothing is worth that─especially not eternity.
239 235 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002230_ALPHINAUD Glad tidings, my friend! The Ladder lives again!
240 236 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002240_ALISAIE The three of us have been invited to do the honors. Are you <Emphasis>up</Emphasis> for it? Of course, if you're worried that the whole thing might come crashing <Emphasis>down</Emphasis>, we can always find someone else.
241 237 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002250_ALISAIE That's the spirit! Come on, then!
242 238 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002260_WARRIOROFDARKNESS We rode the Ladder too, my comrades and I. Once upon a time.
243 239 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002270_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Watched the horizon grow and the town shrink below us...
244 240 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002280_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Awed and terrified in equal measure, we ascended without a word, the silence broken only by the rhythm of the gears.
245 241 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002290_WARRIOROFDARKNESS No one but me remembers that day.
246 242 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002300_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Remembers our journey...and our end. Retread the path─seek and you may yet find...
247 243 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002310_ALISAIE You're a sight for sore eyes. I don't know about you, but I bumped into quite a few sin eaters out there.
248 244 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002320_ALISAIE You too, then. It seems the closer we get to Mt. Gulg, the more of them there are.
249 245 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002330_ALISAIE Looks a lot bigger from here, doesn't it?
250 246 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002340_ALISAIE If I were Vauthry, the first thing I'd do is surround myself with as many sin eaters as I could lay my hands on.
251 247 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002350_ALISAIE And judging by the number we've already faced, his lordship is of the same mind.
252 248 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002360_ALISAIE This is going to be a tough climb.
253 249 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002370_ALISAIE But first things first: we need to determine if climbing is even an option. The more I look, the less likely it seems...
254 250 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002380_ALISAIE Y'shtola is right to be worried, but flying may be our only choice after all.
255 251 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002390_URIANGER There you are. Master Alphinaud was afeared you had met with some misfortune.
256 252 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002400_ALISAIE Urianger! ...And you too, Exarch! What brings you here?
257 253 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002410_MYSTERYVOICE I wish to observe the final struggle with my own eyes.
258 254 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002420_MYSTERYVOICE I arrived at the Bottom Rung too late to accompany you, but I was in time to join Urianger and the others.
259 255 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002430_MYSTERYVOICE Come, let us see how this unfolds.
260 256 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002440_ALISAIE Well, it seems flying is off the table.
261 257 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002450_MYSTERYVOICE If we have learned that much, then the machina have served their purpose.
262 258 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002460_ALISAIE Ah, so that's what they were for. Wasteful, but effective.
263 259 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002470_URIANGER 'Twould seem our foe will not be reached by land or air. We must needs withdraw to consider another course.
264 260 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002480_URIANGER Master Alphinaud waiteth for us at Top Rung. Thither should we make our way.
265 261 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002490_THANCRED ...In short, there's no path, and the sky is thick with Vauthry's winged devils.
266 262 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002500_ALPHINAUD We might consider amaro, but without extensive training, we cannot hope to contend with the eaters.
267 263 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002510_ALPHINAUD Eulmore's airship fleet, meanwhile, consists solely of transport vessels ill-suited for battle. And without the expertise of one such as Cid, we are in no position to attempt a refit.
268 264 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002520_DULIACHAI Oh, it's so <Emphasis>frustrating</Emphasis>! That wretched mountain should jolly well come back down to earth!
269 265 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002530_CHAINUZZ Now, now, dearest. We mustn't disturb these good people at their work.
270 266 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002540_CHAINUZZ We've ridden the Ladder and seen the sights. It's past time we took our leave.
271 267 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002550_YSHTOLA The lady may well have the right of it.
272 268 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002560_YSHTOLA Mt. Gulg will not soon come down to earth, nor can we compel it to do so. But if the mountain will not come to the land, mayhap the land may be made to come to the mountain...
273 269 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002570_YSHTOLA ...In the form of a Talos. A Talos large enough to reach out and take the volcano in its grasp.
274 270 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002580_URIANGER To build such a golem would be an onerous undertaking indeed...yet the principle seemeth sound in itself.
275 271 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002590_CHAINUZZ Balderdash! No one has ever made one even half that size!
276 272 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002600_CHAINUZZ Leaving aside the small matter of logistics─which, by the way, would be <Emphasis>no small matter</Emphasis>─the design would need to be <Emphasis>unimaginably</Emphasis> complex!
277 273 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002610_CHAINUZZ Though, I suppose... Hmm... If its only function is to cling to the ruddy mountain, perhaps it needn't be...
278 274 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002620_CHAINUZZ A solid base, firmly rooted to the ground─sacrifice mobility to simplify the construction, reducing materials required...
279 275 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002630_CHAINUZZ Wait, wait, wait! What am I thinking!? We would still need a veritable <Emphasis>army</Emphasis> of people to do the work!
280 276 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002640_CHAINUZZ Left to the crew that helped down below, it would take decades, if not a nice round century!
281 277 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002650_ALISAIE So we need more hands. And what sort of things would these hands be required to do?
282 278 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002660_CHAINUZZ Oh? Er... Well, er... Well, let's see... First, we'd need people to procure the stone for the chassis.
283 279 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002670_CHAINUZZ The rock found near the mountain would suit our purposes well enough. It'd be a simple task to quarry the stuff, but given the stupendous quantity required, we'd need all the help we can get.
284 280 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002680_THANCRED We have friends amongst the miners of Amh Araeng. I will go and petition their aid.
285 281 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002690_ALISAIE While you do that, I'll make for Mord Souq. I'm sure I'll be able to drum up some support.
286 282 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002700_ALPHINAUD Then I shall return to Kholusia.
287 283 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002710_ALPHINAUD From fishers to carpenters, Eulmore is home to all manner of talented folk. I daresay their skills will avail us.
288 284 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002720_RYNE Is there anything else you need?
289 285 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002730_CHAINUZZ Well...yes, actually... Magic. Lots of the stuff. As much as possible. To awaken a Talos of this size would require an entire congregation of mages.
290 286 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002740_YSHTOLA Many among the Night's Blessed are gifted in the arcane arts. I will recruit them to our cause.
291 287 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002750_URIANGER The fae folk too, possess surpassing aptitude in magicks. Yet they are not wont to cooperate in the endeavors of men. Leastwise, not without making all manner of mischief.
292 288 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002760_URIANGER That being the case, I would instead call upon the people of the Crystarium─with thy permission, Exarch.
293 289 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002770_MYSTERYVOICE We are at your disposal, as are our amaro and chocobos.
294 290 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002780_CHAINUZZ I'm sorry─you mean to tell me you can call on not only the people of Eulmore and the Crystarium, but the Night's Blessed, and the Mord, and even those miners!?
295 291 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002790_CHAINUZZ But that's just about everyone in bally Norvrandt!
296 292 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002800_CHAINUZZ Who <Emphasis>are</Emphasis> you people!? And how did you come to have so many <Emphasis>friends</Emphasis>!?
297 293 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?

299 295 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE Adventurers of no import.
300 296 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A5_000_003_NONE_VOICE The artist Alphinaud and his assistants.
301 297 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002810_CHAINUZZ Saviors of the world? Are you being serious? Oh gods, you are...
302 298 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002820_CHAINUZZ No import? You expect me to believe that after you just promised me the help of the better part of the world!?
303 299 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002830_DULIACHAI Oh, dearest, have you forgotten already? Alphinaud told us that when we first met.
304 300 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002840_CHAINUZZ Um, actually, that may not have been... Never mind...
305 301 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002850_YSHTOLA So, as you can see, you will not want for bodies. I trust you will have your design ready in good time for their arrival.
306 302 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002860_YSHTOLA Norvrandt is counting on you...heir to Daedalus Stoneworks.
307 303 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002870_RYNE We'll be back as soon as we can─and we'll bring the whole world with us.
308 304 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002880_MYSTERYVOICE ...I take it we will be assisting Master Chai. Though I am quite sure he has everything under control...
309 305 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002890_MYSTERYVOICE The future is where my destiny awaits...

311 307 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002910_MYSTERYVOICE Forgive me, I was...lost in a dream.
312 308 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002920_MYSTERYVOICE I needed some fresh air, and thought to rest for a moment. It would seem I am more fatigued than I realized.
313 309 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002930_MYSTERYVOICE Too much time away from the tower, I fear. It drains me─leaves my body frail and weak.
314 310 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002940_MYSTERYVOICE Though, in truth, it is debatable whether I can still call this my body...
315 311 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002950_MYSTERYVOICE When first I turned my mind towards the salvation of the world, I came to the conclusion that it would take many long years. Many more than remained to me.
316 312 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002960_MYSTERYVOICE And so I made myself one with the Crystal Tower, that I might live indefinitely.
317 313 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002970_MYSTERYVOICE I am but an extension of it now. Hence my weakness the farther I travel, and the longer I am away.
318 314 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002980_MYSTERYVOICE It has been quite a journey.
319 315 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_002990_MYSTERYVOICE But thanks to you, the end is in sight. My wish will finally be fulfilled.
320 316 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003000_MYSTERYVOICE How goes the construction effort?
321 317 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003010_MYSTERYVOICE Then this may be the last moment we have to ourselves for a while. Come, sit with me.
322 318 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003020_MYSTERYVOICE Tell me, when all of this is over, what will you do?
323 319 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q6_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
324 320 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A6_000_001_NONE_VOICE I'll settle matters with the Empire.
325 321 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A6_000_002_NONE_VOICE What I always do: seek out mightier foes.
326 322 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A6_000_003_NONE_VOICE Rest awhile.
327 323 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A6_000_004_NONE_VOICE ...
328 324 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003030_MYSTERYVOICE Ah, yes. Even should we succeed in forestalling the Eighth Umbral Calamity, the specter of war will remain.
329 325 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003040_MYSTERYVOICE But to declare your intent with such easy resolve... You truly are a heroes' hero, my friend.
330 326 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003050_MYSTERYVOICE In the hundred years they have existed, no one had come close to ridding us of even a <Emphasis>single</Emphasis> Lightwarden. Yet already you yearn for the next challenge. You truly are a world apart from us all.
331 327 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003060_MYSTERYVOICE That would be well deserved. You might consider roaming Norvrandt not as her savior, but as a simple sightseer. Viewed through such eyes, I am certain she would seem quite different.
332 328 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003070_MYSTERYVOICE Well, you needn't hurry to decide. I was merely curious to know what sort of future lay in store for a hero with <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> life ahead of <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If>.
333 329 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003080_MYSTERYVOICE But whatever it is you decide to do, I have every confidence that you will do well. For you have the strength to forge your own path.
334 330 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003090_MYSTERYVOICE You will leave countless lives better than you found them, and the souls you touch will never forget your kindness.
335 331 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003100_MYSTERYVOICE Then, in trying times, when you question your worth and your choices, they will raise their voices to remind you of the difference you have made.
336 332 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003110_MYSTERYVOICE And thus will your deeds come to affirm your path. Remember this.
337 333 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q7_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
338 334 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A7_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> do when this is over?
339 335 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A7_000_002_NONE_VOICE I would know more of you.
340 336 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003120_MYSTERYVOICE When this is over... Indeed...
341 337 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003130_MYSTERYVOICE Of <Emphasis>me</Emphasis>? You mean what I intend to do afterwards?
342 338 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003140_MYSTERYVOICE I once told you that there are things we can ill afford to lose.
343 339 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003150_MYSTERYVOICE "Things,“ I said, though in truth I spoke of a person. One who is unaware of the full extent of my plans. Though he deserves to know, I have good reason to keep my counsel.
344 340 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003160_MYSTERYVOICE “Things,” I said, though in truth I spoke of a person. One who is unaware of the full extent of my plans. Though she deserves to know, I have good reason to keep my counsel.
345 341 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003170_MYSTERYVOICE I have come to terms with this in my mind, yet my heart yearns to lay everything bare. For <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> is my inspiration, and I would give much and more for the chance to speak with <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> as friends, with no thought of concealment.
346 342 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003180_MYSTERYVOICE Should <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> indulge me with <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> tales, I would regale <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> with my own─about my efforts in Norvrandt, perhaps.
347 343 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003190_MYSTERYVOICE Though...ultimately, that tale is more yours than it is mine.
348 344 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003200_MYSTERYVOICE Then...I would ask <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> about <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> next adventure. And if <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> should wish me to be a part of it, oh...how happy it would make me.
349 345 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003210_MYSTERYVOICE Together, we would travel the lands and cross the seas and take to the skies upon the eternal wind... My heart swells simply to imagine it.
350 346 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003220_MYSTERYVOICE But all of this is contingent upon our victory in the coming battle.
351 347 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003230_MYSTERYVOICE The people of this world have entrusted their hopes to us. We cannot fail them.
352 348 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003240_MYSTERYVOICE ...Nor those who roused me from my slumber.
353 349 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003250_MYSTERYVOICE Thank you for your company, my friend. Let us return to Amity.
354 350 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003260_YSHTOLA Word from the Exarch. All is set on his side, and we may proceed when ready.

356 352 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003280_URIANGER Likewise, preparations for the imbuing have been made according to thine exacting instructions.
357 353 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003290_ALPHINAUD Then you need only say the word!
358 354 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003300_YSHTOLA Let us begin. See that everyone is in position.
359 355 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003310_YSHTOLA We shall catch Vauthry, mountain and all!

362 358 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003340_CHAINUZZ Do you see what they're doing!? If its hands are damaged, it won't be able to cling to the mountain! Oh, I <Emphasis>knew</Emphasis> this was a terrible idea!
363 359 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003350_MYSTERYVOICE Vauthry marshals the eaters to his defense. This was only to be expected.
364 360 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003360_MYSTERYVOICE We must try and draw as many of them down to the ground as possible. It may not be enough, but we have no other choice.
365 361 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003370_MYSTERYVOICE Is that─?
366 362 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003380_FEOUL Such a heartless thing our sapling is! Cold and cruel and <Emphasis>heartless</Emphasis>!
367 363 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003390_FEOUL Summon us in times of need, we <Emphasis>expressly</Emphasis> said─yet what should we find but the final battle joined without so much as a <Emphasis>whisper</Emphasis> of our name!
368 364 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003400_FEOUL Yes, yes, we may also have said that we fae folk have no interest in the struggles of men─

370 366 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003420_FEOUL We are so very, very sad. <Emphasis>You</Emphasis> will play with us. <Emphasis>Cheer us up again</Emphasis>!

373 369 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A8_000_002_NONE_VOICE I think they're mad at me...
374 370 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003430_MYSTERYVOICE This I did not expect. But I will gladly accept the help.
375 371 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003440_MYSTERYVOICE I will send word to Y'shtola and the others. Join them at the foot of Mt. Gulg and be ready to make the ascent!
376 372 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003450_ALPHINAUD The end is near, my friends. We have found Vauthry's hiding place.
377 373 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003460_VAUTHRY (-Vauthry-)Unrepentant villains. Will you not be satisfied until you have brought disaster down upon your own heads?
378 374 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003470_VAUTHRY (-Vauthry-)By your wickedness, you stand to gain naught but ceaseless conflict!
379 375 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003480_VAUTHRY (-Vauthry-)Had you only entrusted your fate to me, there would have been peace for all.
380 376 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003490_VAUTHRY (-Vauthry-)You could have lived in bliss in my eternal paradise, free from the burdens of conscience and purpose!
381 377 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003500_ALPHINAUD Peace assumes many forms, and I do not doubt that you considered yours well worth the cost. I was even prepared to believe that the end might justify the means.
382 378 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003510_ALPHINAUD Ignorant as I was, I had hoped that you might mend your ways and join hands with us. That we might strive together for the happiness of all...
383 379 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003520_ALPHINAUD ...But no more. Your actions cannot be reconciled with your words.
384 380 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003530_ALPHINAUD "Peace for all,“ you say, yet when you were threatened, your first act was to sacrifice your own people in order to save yourself.
385 381 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003540_ALPHINAUD If your paradise can be rebuilt so long as you alone survive, it exists not for the people. It exists solely for your twisted pleasure!

387 383 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003560_RYNE I made a promise to a noble soul─a woman who saw fit to entrust me with her legacy─and I mean to keep it.

400 396 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003690_VAUTHRY Why? Why am <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> cast down...when it is <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> who are the villains?
401 397 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003700_VAUTHRY Father told me...that I am hope. I am righteousness. That I am...a <Emphasis>god</Emphasis>...

408 404 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003770_OLDEULMOREMAYOR Yet they dare to complain about casualties? Spare me.
409 405 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003780_OLDEULMOREMAYOR I'll wager they were put up to it by those wretches who seek to usurp me. They're stirring up the citizenry.
410 406 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003790_OLDEULMOREMAYOR But if they think I will yield to the likes of them, they are gravely mistaken!
411 407 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003800_EMETSELCH (-???-)To be subjected to such deplorable treatment... Such ingratitude! You have my sympathies, sir. You do so much good for this city, and you could do so much more, were you not surrounded by fools...

413 409 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003820_EMETSELCH My apologies for the intrusion, but I come bearing a proposal. One that will ensure the longevity of your reign.
414 410 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003830_EMETSELCH But give me the word, sir, and I will bring hither a Lightwarden.
415 411 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003840_EMETSELCH By giving its power to the babe within your lady wife's womb, we shall create a transcendent being─a king to rule over all. And as sire to the king, your authority will never again be in question.
416 412 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003850_OLDEULMOREMAYOR Haha! Amazing! Before my Vauthry, they behave as docile pets!
417 413 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003860_OLDEULMOREMAYOR With this gift, my line shall be guaranteed power for perpetuity! We shall rule the whole world!
418 414 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003870_EMETSELCH By all means, sir. United under Eulmore's banner, men will cease fighting and abandon their ambitions.
419 415 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003880_EMETSELCH Thus they will grow fat and complacent, and in their sloth seal your supremacy...

425 421 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003940_MYSTERYVOICE The combined power of every Lightwarden is too terrible a burden for any one soul to bear.
426 422 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003950_MYSTERYVOICE And so I shall relieve you of it.
427 423 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003960_ALISAIE Exarch!? What are you doing!?
428 424 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003970_MYSTERYVOICE I will channel this profusion of power to the Crystal Tower and use it to travel to other worlds.
429 425 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003980_MYSTERYVOICE As I have dreamed of doing ever since I first learned of their existence!
430 426 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_003990_MYSTERYVOICE Who would choose to remain here, in this dying realm, when they might go elsewhere and begin anew? Not I. And thus...thus did I <Emphasis>use</Emphasis> you!

437 433 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004060_YSHTOLA The Exarch will never live to see another world─as he knows only too well.
438 434 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004070_ALPHINAUD Then...what does he mean to do?
439 435 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004080_YSHTOLA He means to take the Light with him into the rift...where he will die.
440 436 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004090_YSHTOLA He means to take the Light with him into the rift...where he will die.
441 437 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004100_YSHTOLA From the beginning, he intended to sacrifice himself to save our friend and Norvrandt.
442 438 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004110_MYSTERYVOICE At journey's end, an opportunistic thief makes off with the hero's prize.
443 439 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004120_MYSTERYVOICE A paltry way to end a chapter, I concede.
444 440 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004130_MYSTERYVOICE Yet your tale will continue, and my role in it will scarcely be remembered.
445 441 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004140_MYSTERYVOICE Worry not. Whatever should become of me, I will be happy and free, safe in the knowledge that I have played my part.
446 442 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q9_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you do?
447 443 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A9_000_001_NONE_VOICE Remain silent.
448 444 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A9_000_002_NONE_VOICE Call him by his name.
449 445 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004150_MYSTERYVOICE Thank you for fighting for this world. For believing.
450 446 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004160_MYSTERYVOICE Fare you well, my friend─my inspiration.
451 447 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004170_MYSTERYVOICE Thank you for fighting for this world. For believing.
452 448 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004180_MYSTERYVOICE Fare you well, my friend─my inspiration.
453 449 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004190_EMETSELCH Only those who possess the Royal Eye of the Allagan imperial line are capable of controlling the Crystal Tower. Such individuals do not exist in the First.
454 450 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004200_EMETSELCH Therefore, in all likelihood, the Exarch arrived here with the tower. This much I had surmised, yet I could not discern his grand scheme.
455 451 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004210_EMETSELCH To think that he went through all this trouble for the sake of a single hero. It's almost admirable in its absurdity.
456 452 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004220_EMETSELCH Alas, it is not your grand scheme that will succeed, but ours.
457 453 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004230_THANCRED You bastard!
458 454 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004240_EMETSELCH Stay put. Your friend is still alive, but whether he remains so depends on you.
459 455 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004250_EMETSELCH What a disappointment you turned out to be.
460 456 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004260_EMETSELCH I placed my faith in you. Let myself believe that you could contain the Light.
461 457 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004270_EMETSELCH But look at you now, halfway to becoming a monster. You are unworthy of my patronage.
462 458 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q10_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
463 459 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A10_000_001_NONE_VOICE What do you intend to do?
464 460 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A10_000_002_NONE_VOICE It was you who created Vauthry, wasn't it?
465 461 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004280_EMETSELCH (SIGH)
466 462 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004290_EMETSELCH I am an Ascian. My heart's sole desire is to usher in the Great Rejoining.
467 463 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004300_EMETSELCH A hundred years ago, I entrusted my comrade Loghrif with the task of increasing Light's sway over this world. This we sought to do by manipulating heroes.
468 464 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004310_EMETSELCH When that failed to achieve the desired result, I created Vauthry.
469 465 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004320_EMETSELCH But thanks to your meddling, that too has ended in failure.
470 466 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004330_ALPHINAUD What was your true purpose in approaching us?
471 467 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004340_EMETSELCH By your Twelve, boy, have I not told you before that everything I said was the truth?
472 468 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004350_EMETSELCH You were specimens by which I might gauge man's potential as it stands.
473 469 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004360_EMETSELCH I genuinely had an interest in you. Genuinely considered taking you on as allies.
474 470 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004370_EMETSELCH Provided <Emphasis><If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If></Emphasis> could contain and control the Light.
475 471 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004380_EMETSELCH If not then <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If>─and by extension you─would be of no use to me. 'Twas as simple as that.
476 472 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004390_THANCRED So we've been found wanting. How disheartening.
477 473 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004400_THANCRED But even had we fulfilled your conditions, there was no guarantee that we would cooperate. What then?
478 474 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004410_EMETSELCH Then I simply kill you all. At the very least, it would restore the world to the way it was before you went about trouncing Lightwardens willy-nilly.
479 475 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004420_EMETSELCH Suffice it to say it would be most inconvenient to have all that Light taken away─and I would be lying if I were to claim his actions didn't have me worried.
480 476 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004430_EMETSELCH Hm, you still retain your form and your senses...but you have all but become a sin eater.
481 477 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004440_EMETSELCH Whether you will it or no, your mere existence will serve to engulf the world in Light.
482 478 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004450_EMETSELCH Those in your company will likewise turn into sin eaters, and in time you will succumb to your base instincts and hunt innocents to feast on their sweet, sweet aether.
483 479 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004460_EMETSELCH Those few with the will left to fight may rise up against you. But before your absolute might, they will quickly know despair.
484 480 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004470_EMETSELCH "There is no hope! We are finished! <Emphasis>Mankind</Emphasis> is finished!“
485 481 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004480_EMETSELCH Ahhh, the irony. What Vauthry achieved through bliss, you will achieve through despair.
486 482 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004490_EMETSELCH But I have overstayed my welcome. I shall look forward to seeing you bring the world to its knees, hero.
487 483 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004500_ALPHINAUD Exarch!
488 484 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004510_EMETSELCH I have naught to show for all the time and effort I invested in you. He is a small token for my troubles.
489 485 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004520_EMETSELCH I did not expect that I could learn aught from man, but I may yet learn something from all the knowledge he had hoarded for his precious hero.
490 486 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004530_EMETSELCH I pity you, I do.
491 487 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004540_EMETSELCH Your friends are now your foes. If you do not kill them, they will kill you.
492 488 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004550_EMETSELCH When it all becomes too much to bear, seek me out at my abode, in the dark depths of the Tempest.
493 489 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004560_EMETSELCH There, you may complete your descent into madness with some dignity, far from prying eyes.
494 490 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004570_EMETSELCH Till then, I bid you farewell...eater.
495 491 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004580_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Ah. Finally.
496 492 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_Q11_000_001_NONE_VOICE What will you say?
497 493 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A11_000_001_NONE_VOICE Was it just a dream?
498 494 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_A11_000_002_NONE_VOICE What happened?
499 495 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004590_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You're confused, and small wonder.
500 496 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004600_WARRIOROFDARKNESS After you collapsed, Emet-Selch vanished.
501 497 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004610_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Then Ryne did what she could to stay the raging of the Light within your body.
502 498 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004620_WARRIOROFDARKNESS Thanks to her, you're still you, but she's only delayed the inevitable.
503 499 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004630_WARRIOROFDARKNESS You're not going to like what you see, but you still need to see it.
504 500 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004640_WARRIOROFDARKNESS It's like this all over. The whole of Norvrandt is shrouded in Light again.
505 501 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004650_WARRIOROFDARKNESS And it's because of you and the power you absorbed from the Wardens.
506 502 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004660_WARRIOROFDARKNESS No one knows but your friends.
507 503 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004670_WARRIOROFDARKNESS When they carried you down from the mountain, they told everyone waiting below that they didn't understand why the Light had returned.
508 504 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004680_WARRIOROFDARKNESS And now they're out there trying to allay the people's fears while searching for a way to save you.
509 505 TEXT_VOICEMAN_05004_004690_WARRIOROFDARKNESS If you're well enough to be up, you're well enough to get some fresh air. Better that than stewing in here. Go on. Go.
