40TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_SEQ_00Briardien has seen enough incompetence for the day.
51TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_SEQ_01Frustrated at yet another interruption at the hands of his nemesis Hildibrand, Briardien has resolved to continue the investigation at the Coliseum, where the Mythril Cup melee will soon begin. Return and speak with Dour Meadow.
62TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_SEQ_02The Mythril Cup melee commences! With the other combatants distracted in the heat of battle, Ultros attempts to employ the gold truffles he purchased from Syntgoht to elicit a mighty sneeze from his friend Typhon─the power behind Avila's so-called Tempest Blade. However, the purple fiend only succeeds in getting the fungi roasted to savory perfection by the unwitting Hildibrand. Inspector Briardien swiftly observes the Ala Mhigan gladiatrix's suspicious movements, shortly thereafter revealing Typhon and the conspirators' scheme for all to see. Ultros squirms out of responsibility by assigning all the blame to Avila, successfully convincing Dour Meadow to hold a final event among those who still remain standing in the wake of the storm. Speak with Briardien before departing for the climactic confrontation.
73TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_SEQ_03Less than impressed at the octopus's machinations, Briardien expresses his confidence in your ability to make some sense out of this madness. Make for Halatali and speak with Dour Meadow when you are ready to do battle.
84TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_SEQ_04The final battle for the Mythril Cup─and the priceless relic sought by the phantom thief─will pit you and seven of your comrades against the dastardly duo of Ultros and Typhon in a special arena known as the Dragon's Neck. Who will remain standing when the storms subside? The challenge awaits! ※The Dragon's Neck can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
95TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_SEQ_05You succeed in making seafood soup out of Ultros and his oversized companion. Speak with Inspector Briardien, who will doubtless be pleased with your efforts.
106TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_SEQ_06Briardien praises you for your efforts, which he hopes will serve to keep the priceless relic out of the grasp of the many-faced thief. Return to the Coliseum and speak with Dour Meadow to claim your hard-earned spoils.
117TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_SEQ_07No sooner had the award ceremony begun than does the phantom thief make his grand entrance. Hildibrand confronts him, only to find his path obstructed by a spear cast by Gilgamesh, who has returned to avenge the defeat he suffered at your hands. Hildibrand moves quickly, deftly disarming his erstwhile traveling companion. As the hulking duelist angrily chases the inspector about the Coliseum, the phantom thief takes advantage of the chaos, dropping from the rafters a single gold truffle. Its aroma tickles the sensitive nose of Typhon, the resulting sneeze sending the ring soaring through the air. Just as Hildibrand has given up hope, Godbert returns, seizing his son by the legs and hurling him heavensward─and clear through the Coliseum roof─with truly Mandervillian strength. Events take another turn when the victor's ring is revealed as a fake, and the thief produces a common key and declares his intentions to claim the <Emphasis>true</Emphasis> treasure─the Ring of Inquiry, sat safely in the storehouse as a consolation prize. Upon hearing this, Dour Meadow panics and calls for the Stone Torches to pursue, but it is for naught, as the fiend absconds with the priceless relic. As Inspector Briardien and Ellie ponder what has transpired, a massive challenge card falls from above, and another mighty sneeze─this time from Nashu─sends it toppling over the unfortunate Hildibrand. The message speaks of four sacred treasures and justice served, which Godbert recognizes as a reference to an old legend from the times of the Belah'dians. Inspector Briardien and Ellie muse that the thief holds a deep-seated grudge against the wealthy and the powerful, but other than that, it is not immediately evident where the thief intends to strike next...

5349TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_BRIARDIEN_000_001Here is the plan, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>: I shall find a suitable vantage point to observe Miss Avila in combat.

5450TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_010Do you feel the anticipation in the air, my friend!? This shall go down in Eorzean history as the greatest battle since I slew that dragon! ...That did actually happen, yes?

5854TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_000_041Ah, I'd be remiss not to tell ye that there's been a slight change o' plans. Another contestant suffered a last-minute injury, and none other than our very own Ultros has stepped in to take his place.
5955TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_100_041With everyone's favorite octopus joining you two in the fray, spectators are just pourin' in, and bookmakers across town are rakin' in the gil─which ain't a bad thing for us.

6864TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_000_101Who will stand atop the heap of maimed bodies and twisted limbs to claim victory!? Will it be the tempestuous Avila of Ala Mhigo!? <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, the famed Warrior of Light? Or─who was that grinnin' fool again? Ah, that's right─Humberbatch, agent of infamy and imbecile extraordinaire!
6965TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_000_102Or, will it be our eleventh-hour entry, Ultros, the eight-legged purple purveyor of pain!

7268TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ORTHRUS_000_105(Alright, you know the deal: we team up and wipe out the others. Then, when it's just the two of us, I'll take a dive.)

7773TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ORTHRUS_000_110Ah, nothin' like the rich aroma of roasted truffles! All this fighting is giving Uncle Ulty an appetite. Is it time for dinner yet?

7975TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_112Braised in a savory sauce, just like Mother used to make them! Feel free to have seconds─there's a whole sackful where that came from.

8682TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_120What fascinating friends you have, Ulty! Why, just look at this charming little nose! Hmmm? Is he perhaps suffering from a case of the sniffles?

8884TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AUDIENCEA00204_000_122C-Could it be? Avila's vaunted Tempest Blade...it was that monster all along! The girl played us all for fools!

9187TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ORTHRUS_000_125I-I just wanted to experience the thrill of battle! You know, for my work and all! Come on, Dour, has Uncle Ulty ever lied to you?
9288TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AUDIENCEB00204_000_126What did I tell ye? I <Emphasis>knew</Emphasis> there was somethin' fishy about that Ala Mhigan whore!
9389TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AUDIENCEC00204_000_127Ala Mhigans... <spit> Beggars and brutes, the lot of 'em. We give them a home in our lands, and this is the thanks we get? Send her to Garlemald for all I care─just get her out o' my sight before I get sick!

9591TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ORTHRUS_000_129I feel for the girl─really, my little octopus heart goes out to her─but the rules are the rules, right? Now, if Uncle Ulty may be so bold...
9692TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ORTHRUS_000_130I say we call off the melee and have a final showdown between the three remaining competitors─that would be me, my buddy Typhon, and <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> here. Whaddaya say, <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Missus<Else/>Mister</If> Warrior of Light?
9793TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AUDIENCED00204_000_131(-Raucous Crowd-)Aye, that's what we want to see! Ul-tros! Ul-tros! UL-TROS!
9894TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_000_132Well, this is a most unprecedented turn of events! But who am I to deny the wishes of such a passionate crowd of martial arts aficionados?
9995TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_000_133The venue: Halatali! The fighters: the tag team of Ultros and Typhon versus the Warrior of Light! Who will be left standing when the storm has settled? Be there, or miss a battle for the ages!
10096TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_BRIARDIEN_000_140So, to review: the truffles were to elicit a sneeze from the octopus's oversized crony, which would be positioned so as to appear it was coming from the Ala Mhigan girl's blade, allowing the two to sweep away their opponents with ease.
10197TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_BRIARDIEN_000_141No wonder I wasn't able to see it sooner─it's quite possibly the most imbecilic scheme I've encountered in my years as a consulting inspector.
10298TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_BRIARDIEN_000_142At any rate, we have no choice but to trust in your abilities now, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Let us make for Halatali.

106102TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_000_170Well, this tourney's turned into a right mess. With all the trouble I took preparin' consolation prizes for the melee, it looks like we won't be needin' 'em, after all.
107103TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_100_170'Course, as long as you're bringin' in the spectators─and the profits─I could give a gnat's arse! Gar har har!

146142TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AMANYFACEDPHANTOMTHIEF_000_312Not exactly as planned, but who can argue with the results? Save for one thing... This ring is a fake.
147143TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AMANYFACEDPHANTOMTHIEF_000_313But no matter. I have a feeling this will lead me to the <Emphasis>true</Emphasis> treasure. Until next time, friends! You have been a most attentive audience.
148144TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_000_314That key! B-Bloody hells!
149145TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_100_314Guards! Seize the fiend at once!
150146TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_STONETORCH00204_000_315I-It's too late, sir! The second prize─the Ring of Inquiry─it's gone!
151147TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ELLIE_000_316<Emphasis>Second</Emphasis> prize? What is the meaning of this!?
152148TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_GODBERT_000_317...Many-faced fiend or no, the man spoke true. A master goldsmith's eyes cannot be deceived─this sun sphere is clearly a second-rate replica.
153149TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_000_318P-Preposterous! It's just, ah, the dim lighting! Yes, if you'll just step over here...
154150TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_BRIARDIEN_000_319Have you taken ill, friend? You seem to be perspiring most heavily...
155151TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_DOURMEADOW_000_320L-Let's not be so hasty, friends! I can explain!
156152TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AVILA_000_321I sold out my honor, joined forces with that odious octopus...all for a false treasure. What a fool I have been! Whatever was I thinking?
157153TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_322Do not berate yourself so, Miss Avila! Why, it was exactly as you said, was it not? You were thinking of dear Hegelina, and nothing more!
158154TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AVILA_000_323...I suppose I was, at that. Hm...? How do you know my sister's name!?
159155TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_324I-I assure you, young miss! Under no circumstances did I tail you to the Nanawa Mines to eavesdrop on your intimately personal dialogue with your beloved sister!
160156TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AVILA_000_325Ugh, you...<Emphasis>you</Emphasis>... <sigh> You have the right of it.
161157TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_AVILA_000_326Blinded by the prospect of fortune and fame, I lost sight of myself and what I truly was fighting for. My honor and my sister's trust will not easily be regained, but I will not shirk from the challenge.
162158TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_BRIARDIEN_000_327One mystery still remains. Before the thief had identified the ring as fake, he had already acquired the key to the storeroom.
163159TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_BRIARDIEN_000_328Clearly the second prize─this Ring of Inquiry─was his target from the start. But why? There must be some pattern to the items the fiend has stolen. A pattern that betrays his true intentions...
164160TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_GODBERT_000_329The Treaty-Blade, Azeyma's Virtue, the Ring of Inquiry...all relics with quite a history. Or, to be more precise, relics from the era of the Belah'dians.
165161TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_330Oho! If that is so, the answer is clear as day! The fiend means to found Eorzea's greatest museum of Belah'dian history, pushing up the prices and gouging honest men out of their hard-earned coin! Doubtless another one of his cards will appear on the scene to tell us just as much...
166162TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ELLIE_000_331“I have enjoyed our little game, but all good things must come to an end. I shall claim the four sacred treasures, and justice shall be served.”
167163TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ELLIE_000_332...So this is the thief's final challenge to us. But what are these four treasures of which he speaks?
168164TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_GODBERT_000_333“Where the four treasures of Belah'dia become one, the wicked shall be judged in the blazing light of sun.”
169165TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_GODBERT_000_334An old legend─little more than a faerie tale, at that. And yet it seems the phantom believes there is some truth in these words...
170166TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_BRIARDIEN_000_335Four sacred relics from Belah'dia? The Warden's justice? Lofty words coming from a glorified footpad.
171167TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ELLIE_000_336...One who's winning over the commonfolk by the day, if rumors are to be believed. It would seem the tales of a master thief ruffling the feathers of the rich and famous have won the man more than a few admirers.
172168TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ELLIE_000_337Consider his targets thus far: an Ul'dahn collector and her hired thugs, a trading mogul and the Brass Blades, and now a mining magnate and the Stone Torches. Is it any surprise that the sympathies of ordinary Ul'dahns would lie with the perpetrator rather than his victims?
173169TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_BRIARDIEN_000_338...Astutely observed, Miss Ellie. Our quarry clearly harbors no small degree of resentment for wealth and authority. Might his next target be a member of the Syndicate? Perhaps the sultana herself?
174170TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_339Haha! Then it will be to his downfall! For the greater the challenge, the higher I rise! Ahem...just one moment, if you would.
175171TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_340Mark my words, ye of many faces! There is but one man who shall lay claim to the four lost relics of Belah'dia, and it shall be Hildibrand─agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire!
176172TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_ELLIE_000_341...Yes, I'm sure that inspires us all with great confidence.
177173TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_GODBERT_000_342Hm, was that...? No, it couldn't be. Hah! Methinks Godbert may need a new pair of spectacles!
178174TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_350It's a race to recover the four lost relics of Belah'dia!
179175TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_351As the fiend's true identity and aspirations are revealed!
180176TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_352Will Eorzea fall prey to the forces of evil?
181177TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_HILDIBRAND_000_353Or will our hero do what only a Manderville can?
182178TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_354The key to the next case is a mask! Have you ever worn a mask for so long that you forgot what you actually looked like? I have!
183179TEXT_CHRHDB404_00204_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_355And how did they freeze in midair like that? Talk about a mystery! Oh, well─see you next time!
