40TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SEQ_00Skaetswys has been thinking about the kidnapper and his escape.
51TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SEQ_01Skaetswys has deduced that the kidnapper fled with the abducted Bi Bi by means of an airship. She suggests that you inquire with Commander Bloeidin at Camp Overlook regarding any suspicious vessels seen in the sky.
62TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SEQ_02Commander Bloeidin informs you that, indeed, one of his sentries spotted an unfamiliar vessel heading east across the Strait of Merlthor in the direction of Aldenard. He also mentions that the wounded Sylvie rests in one of his tents, but has been refusing all visitors. Pay her a visit and inquire as to her well-being.
73TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SEQ_03From within the tent in which she rests, Sylvie earnestly implores you to track down the villainous Ebon Claw in her stead. Surmising that his next target will be the Ixal, she urges you to hurry to Ehcatl and offer your aid to Chief Sezul Totoloc.
84TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SEQ_04Your reunion with Chief Totoloc and the young engineer Tataramu is interrupted by a dropper from the Ehcatl Nine, who speaks in panicked tones of a sudden attack on the Ehcatl logging grounds perpetrated by a rogue airship. Though the Ixal succeeded in driving off the enemy, it would appear some foul deed or another has already been done. Upon hearing your explanation, all present are in consensus that the beastman abductor you pursue is responsible. Tataramu bids you to travel to the scene of the attack near Hyrstmill and search for any remnants of the damaged vessel.
95TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SEQ_05You succeed in finding a damaged fragment of the rogue airship in the vicinity of Hyrstmill. Deliver it to Tataramu's hands, that he might be able to identify the vessel and deduce something of its most likely destination.
106TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SEQ_06Taking the hull fragment into hand, Tataramu uses his encyclopedic knowledge of airship minutiae to identify its markings as belonging to a rare Garlond Ironworks Model 1569-II. As precious few of these ships were manufactured, he is certain that an inquiry with Highwind Skyways will swiftly turn up the rogue vessel's current owner. At long last, will the mastermind behind the beastman abductions be revealed...?

5248TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SKAETSWYS_000_000If we're to 'ave any 'ope o' savin' poor Bi Bi, we 'ave to move quickly. Let's put our minds together, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. What can we deduce about the kidnapper's means of escape?
5349TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SKAETSWYS_000_001Ye found poor Sylvie collapsed in front of a sheer cliff face, with no way out save that by which ye came. 'Twas there that the scoundrel's footprints led ye, and it was there that they ended.
5450TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SKAETSWYS_000_002There's only one direction our man could've fled, and that's up! Which leads us to our next question─just <Emphasis>'ow</Emphasis>? I've got <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> theory...but what about you?
5551TEXT_BANALL050_01471_Q1_000_000How did the kidnapper take to the sky?
5652TEXT_BANALL050_01471_A1_000_001...He's a Roegadyn?
5753TEXT_BANALL050_01471_A1_000_002By airship.
5854TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SKAETSWYS_000_003Aye, ye've figured us out. We Roegadyn can sprout wings from our backs at will, allowin' us to soar through the skies with the greatest o'... I tell ye, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, sometimes I can't tell if yer actually that daft, or ye just think yer funny.
5955TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SKAETSWYS_000_004Come on, now. The answer's plain as day to anyone with 'alf their wits about 'em. But fine, I'll spell it out for ye─the kidnapper 'ad an airship!
6056TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SKAETSWYS_000_005...Aye, it's the most logical conclusion. Access to an airship would've afforded our man a quick an' easy escape route.
6157TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SKAETSWYS_000_006If any suspicious vessels took off from the Kobold Dig, I can promise ye it wouldn't escape the eye o' Commander Bloeidin. To Camp Overlook, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, and quickly!
6258TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SKAETSWYS_000_007While yer there, might ye pay a visit to that lass Sylvie, as well? Loath as I am to disturb 'er rest, I reckon she, too, might 'ave some knowledge to share...
6359TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SKAETSWYS_000_008If there's one thing I know about airships, I know that they cost a fair bit o' coin. Whoever's 'ired our man, it would seem 'e's rather generous.
6460TEXT_BANALL050_01471_PICKMAN789GIGU_000_009I haven't slept since I heard about Bi Bi─no, no, not a wink! Work!? How am I supposed to work when I'm so drowsy─sleepy, somnolent, drowsy!?
6561TEXT_BANALL050_01471_BLOEIDIN_000_010Well, look who the tides brought in! Let me guess─Skaetswys has got you runnin' her errands, has she?
6662TEXT_BANALL050_01471_BLOEIDIN_000_011Aye, I figured as much. She's never been one to pay much mind to the convenience of others. Why, not long ago she came rushin' in here with a poor lass who looked like she was on her last legs.
6763TEXT_BANALL050_01471_BLOEIDIN_000_012Does this look like an infirmary? I've barely enough beds for my own wounded! She's lucky we had an empty tent─she's been restin' in there ever since.
6864TEXT_BANALL050_01471_BLOEIDIN_000_013I sent one of my men to bring her some food earlier, but she's been refusin' all visitors. A shy one, I reckon, but she's not goin' to heal if she doesn't eat─and we can't keep her here forever. Hm? A suspicious airship?
6965TEXT_BANALL050_01471_BLOEIDIN_000_014Come to think of it, one of my lookouts did say something about an unidentified vessel takin' to the sky. It didn't appear to be a threat, so we elected not to pursue.
7066TEXT_BANALL050_01471_BLOEIDIN_000_015It flew off to the east, over the Strait of Merlthor toward Aldenard. As for its final destination, your guess is as good as mine.
7167TEXT_BANALL050_01471_BLOEIDIN_000_016I've never seen anyone quite like that lass Skaetswys brought in. Wherever she hails from, I just hope she hasn't brought any trouble with her...

8076TEXT_BANALL050_01471_SILVIA_000_000_028(-Sylvie-)I know that you have no reason to trust me... That I have not even told you who I am...

104100TEXT_BANALL050_01471_TATARAMU_000_000_062Most uncommon markings, but I swear I've seen them <Emphasis>somewhere</Emphasis>... Ah, but of course! Why, this is a Garlond Ironworks Model 1569-II! Fine vessels, though most will go their lives without seeing one. Only a few were ever manufactured.
