10TEXT_BANALL030_01469_SEQ_00Voyce has been thinking about the disappearance of the sylph podlings.
21TEXT_BANALL030_01469_SEQ_01Following a sequence of questionable deductions, Voyce concludes that the podlings were spirited away by a rogue band of pirates, and suggests that you pick up the trail in La Noscea. Make for the Drowning Wench in Limsa Lominsa and deliver the scholar's missive to his colleague, a marine researcher by the name of Guston who should be able to aid you in your search.
32TEXT_BANALL030_01469_SEQ_02Utterly unable to decipher Voyce's chocobo scratches, Guston is nonetheless able to provide you with some intriguing information regarding a suspicious personage sighted at the docks not long ago. Seek out more information from the researcher's son Robyn in Fisherman's Bottom.
43TEXT_BANALL030_01469_SEQ_03Robyn quickly recognizes you as the adventurer who assisted him in delivering a necklace to the kind fishmen who rescued him. The reunion serving to jog his memory, he suspects that the unsavory man is targeting his scaled friends. Return to Novv's Nursery to see that the peaceful Sahagin come to no harm, and bring along Robyn's gift─a sack of juicy oranges favored by the fishmen─for good measure.
54TEXT_BANALL030_01469_SEQ_04Novv's rejoicing at the sight of the juicy citruses is interrupted by the ever-excitable Seww, who is distraught at the apparent kidnapping of his young spawnbrother Bouu. Could the culprit be the same man responsible for the disappearance of the podlings from Little Solace? Make way to the scene of the crime─Moonshade Isle─by elbst, and fend off adversaries as necessary to secure a vantage point from which you may scan the waters for the kidnapper's escape vessel.
65TEXT_BANALL030_01469_SEQ_05You manage to locate the kidnapper's vessel, which is swiftly making its way out to sea. As you and Seww curse your luck, Novv is quick to take action. In the blink of an eye, the clutchfather emerges from the sea to stand before his son's abductor─a menacing Miqo'te wearing a mask of metal. When an ill-timed collision with a protruding rock causes Bouu to lose his balance, the feline felon is quick to take advantage of the situation. As Novv moves to shield his spawnling, three daggers strike the Sahagin clear in the back. Seww dives swiftly into the waters to save his clutchfather, urging you to return to the nursery to prepare to tend to Novv's wounds.
76TEXT_BANALL030_01469_SEQ_06Perhaps it is paternal instinct and a desire to see his son returned to safety that gives Novv his strength, for the clutchfather is not much worse for the wear despite the wounds he suffered at the hands of the kidnapper. Novv fumes at the indignity his clutch has suffered. Who is this Miqo'te marauder, and what does he hope to accomplish from robbing the cradles of the beast tribes? The plot ever thickens...

4948TEXT_BANALL030_01469_VOYCE_000_000_000It would appear that there is more to the disappearance of the podlings than I originally suspected. But where to turn next? Allow me to apply the scientific method to analyze the situation.
5049TEXT_BANALL030_01469_VOYCE_000_000_001The girl Sylvie said that the touched ones were not responsible for the crime. As the sylphs of Little Solace would have no reason to kidnap their own, we can safely deduce that the perpetrator is not a sylph at all! Do you follow me thus far?
5150TEXT_BANALL030_01469_VOYCE_000_000_002You also say that the girl mentioned La Noscea, and that she must travel there “before tragedy strikes again”...? Good gods! Are you thinking what I'm thinking!?
5251TEXT_BANALL030_01469_VOYCE_000_000_003Pirates! Yes, pirates have stolen the podlings to sell on the black markets! Those scurvy, thieving scoundrels!
5352TEXT_BANALL030_01469_VOYCE_000_000_004Fortunately for us all, I just so happen to have an acquaintance in the area. A colleague, I should say─he is a naturalist specializing in marine life.
5453TEXT_BANALL030_01469_VOYCE_000_000_005He goes by the name Guston─primarily, I suspect, because that is his actual name. You'll likely find him at the Drowning Wench. He often said his ideas flow most readily after a pint of Baderon's best.
5554TEXT_BANALL030_01469_VOYCE_000_000_006You simply rescue the little ones from the clutches of those dastardly pirates! Seek out my colleague Guston in the Drowning Wench. He knows La Noscea almost as well as I know the Twelveswood!
5655TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_010The seas are angry today, friend, the waves ten spars 'igh if they were a fulm. Ye'll be stayin' in port if ye know what's─hm? Not a sailor, but an adventurer, ye say?
5756TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_011Sent by Voyce, ye say? Llymlaen take me─I journeyed 'alfway 'cross the realm in the 'opes o' riddin' meself of that barnacle-brained lubber!
5857TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_012Fortunately for you and yer bunglin' friend, ye've caught ol' Guston in a good mood. So entertain me: what's that bloody fool gotten 'imself into this time?
5958TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_013...Is this supposed to tell me somethin'? This letter looks like it was penned by an 'alf-drunk chocobo! If ye'd be so kind, spare me the 'eadache and give me the details yerself.
6059TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_014A mass kidnappin' o' baby sylphs, and that bloody 'alf-wit thinks it was *pirates* what done the deed!? Bwahahaha! That sounds...just crazy enough to be true.
6160TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_015I was at the docks not a few bells ago when I spied an unfamiliar face. The man 'ad just acquired a vessel, it seemed, and if me ears 'eard true, was lookin' to sail for 'Alfstone amidst a fierce fog.
6261TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_016A scholar with a face like mine ain't gonna be one to judge by appearances, but I didn't like the cut o' this man's jib, if ye gather me meanin'.
6362TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_017Mind ye, I didn't speak to the blighter meself. Me son Robyn 'ad a few words with 'im, though, and didn't seem to enjoy the experience none.
6463TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_018If ye'd speak with 'im for yerself, ye'll find 'im at the docks. Seems 'is adventure under the sea 'asn't dampened 'is passion to follow in 'is old man's footsteps.
6564TEXT_BANALL030_01469_GUSTON_000_000_019Me son Robyn 'ad a few words with the blighter. If ye'd speak with 'im yerself, ye'll find 'im at the docks like as not.
6665TEXT_BANALL030_01469_ROBYN_000_000_020Hey, I remember you! You're the adventurer who returned that necklace to the nice fishmen for me!
6766TEXT_BANALL030_01469_ROBYN_000_000_021You *did* return it, didn't you? They were so nice to me, after all. I just had to do something nice for them, too.
6867TEXT_BANALL030_01469_ROBYN_000_000_022Wonderful! I knew I could count on you. What's that, you say? Father told you about some strange man at the docks?
6968TEXT_BANALL030_01469_ROBYN_000_000_023Aye, I saw him, I did. He was wearing some strange metal mask. At least I hope it was a mask─it looked more like a part of his face.
7069TEXT_BANALL030_01469_ROBYN_000_000_024He said he had a score to settle with Novv. Novv...? Novv...
7170TEXT_BANALL030_01469_ROBYN_000_000_025Of course! I didn't remember until I saw your face, but the nice fishmen that saved me...one of them was named “Novv”! I'm sure of it!
7271TEXT_BANALL030_01469_ROBYN_000_000_026Are the nice fishmen in danger? P-Please tell me you'll go and make sure they're safe. And bring them this─tell them it's a thank-you gift from Robyn.
7372TEXT_BANALL030_01469_ROBYN_000_000_027Someday I'll be a researcher like my dad. I'll live with the fishmen, and they'll show me deep-sea secrets that no one's seen before!
7473TEXT_BANALL030_01469_NOVV_000_030Pshhh... Are my eyesss to be believed!?
7574TEXT_BANALL030_01469_NOVV_000_031Yesss, Player returnsss! What brings my shorewalking spawnling back to the clutch?
7675TEXT_BANALL030_01469_NOVV_000_032Oh-ren-jez? Thisss is a true delight. Ever sssince the last batch you brought, my ssspawnlings clamor endlessly for more.
7776TEXT_BANALL030_01469_NOVV_000_033A present from the finless child? This pleases me greater ssstill. Yes, perhapsss a new generation brings hope for peace between our peoples...

7978TEXT_BANALL030_01469_NOVV_000_035Pshhh... Do you ssso quickly forget, Seww? A Sssahagin does not thrash against the currentsss─he is one with the water, flowing as it flows.

8685TEXT_BANALL030_01469_NOVV_000_045Pshhh... Our more sssavage brethren oft herd finless ones to the depths, drowning their souls before the Lord of the Whorl. Does this shhhorewalker who sssteals my spawnlings have equally sssinister aims?
8786TEXT_BANALL030_01469_SEWW_000_046Pshhh! There is no time to spare! The shhhorewalker steals away with young Bouu as we shhhpeak!
8887TEXT_BANALL030_01469_SEWW_000_047The shhhwiftest way to Moonshade Isle is to take one of Pahh's elbshhhts...but you know this, yes? Hurry, my shhhpawnsister!
