10TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_SEQ_00You notice a letter bearing Jacke's name in Oboro's hand.
21TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_SEQ_01Through Jacke's network of eyes and ears, he has found information on the one Yatsurugi treasure still unaccounted for: the dagger. While Oboro waits for Princess Yuki and Akagi to join him in the dock storehouse, visit the Rogues' Guild and harvest Jacke's intelligence.
32TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_SEQ_02Jacke has discovered that the Yatsurugi clan's dagger is to go up for auction. The sellers are a group known as the Truehounds─a band of Salthounds who never left the brine. Ostensibly, they liberated the Far Eastern treasures from an imperial vessel's hold, and, with Princess Yuki's word being the only proof otherwise, Jacke regretfully informs you the guild cannot get involved. However, he directs you to a black marketeer newly come to the guild's attention. To learn more of the Truehounds, seek out this shadowy character at the House of Sticks in lower La Noscea.
43TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_SEQ_03You defeat the trio of Qiqirn that appears. Now, present the sack of gil to the black marketeer.
54TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_SEQ_04Though a cowl covers his face, the black marketeer's voice sounds oddly familiar. However, he does away with any introductions, and jumps immediately to the heart of the matter─the Truehounds. Captained by one Rosalinde, these cutthroats have made their name and fortune on the Far Eastern seas. What they lack in numbers, they make up for by imbibing pluto before boarding their victims' vessels. Moreover, they have recently hired a mercenary known as Redway─a man trained in ninjutsu by Gekkai. The entire crew has dropped anchor in Costa del Sol. Travel there now, and spy on the fiends.
65TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_SEQ_05You crouch in the shadows as Captain Rosalinde and Redway converse. The so-called shinobi has gathered information on you and your allies just as you have on him and his. You also overhear the leader of the Truehounds as she lays out her plan to capture Princess Yuki by using the clan treasure as bait, and the auction as the trap. Return now to Oboro in the dock storehouse, and inform him of these dire developments.
76TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_SEQ_06Princess Yuki and Akagi have been waiting for you at the storehouse. Upon learning of the Truehounds' involvement, Yuki reveals that it was not only the treasures they stole from her clan, but the lives of her people as well. Though the princess had wished to fight back, her vassals forbade it, and laid down their lives in her defense. When she left her lands, she vowed that never again would she allow someone to die for her. Akagi seizes this opportunity to force her hand, and, finally, Yuki accepts your and Oboro's aid. However, she has a condition─you may not sacrifice your own life for hers. Having reached an agreement, Oboro asks that everyone wait for further news of the black market auction. ※The next ninja quest will be available from Oboro upon reaching level 58.

4948TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_000Player, Jacke's network has caught wind of who has been selling the Yatsurugi clan's stolen treasures. This is information that may lead us straight to the dagger.
5049TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_001He has summoned us both to the guild, but could I ask you to go by yourself?
5150TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_002I cannot leave just now. Akagi and Princess Yuki are on their way here.
5251TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_003I sent a missive telling them we might have information on the bandits who robbed her. The princess desires to learn more of them, and so she has seen fit to join us.
5352TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_004I believe Jacke will give you a thread. Follow it, and return once you have unraveled the truth.
5453TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_010Jacke's network of spies is most impressive. Presently stationed in Eorzea as we are, perhaps it would not be amiss for us to set up our own...
5554TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_JACKE_000_030Player! Gods know it ain't simple to make black marketeers talk, but we tickled Mulfa Kelfa's neck with a stabber, an' he coughed up a load of information.
5655TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_JACKE_000_031The remainin' bauble─a dagger, by all accounts─is to be sold at auction, an' attendance is invitation only. The hosts are a band what go by the name o' the Truehounds.
5756TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_JACKE_000_032Now, in the eyes o' the law, they're sellin' loot cloyed from imperials on an expedition to the Far East. But Garlemald don't control where yer dimber mort's from.
5857TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_JACKE_000_033It's a bene mummery, turnin' a profit under the guise of a proper company. The buyers won't ask too many questions, either─grabbled or no, treasure is treasure.
5958TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_JACKE_000_034But it's just yer princess's whid against the Truehounds'. The guild can't act on that. Not officially, anyway.
6059TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_JACKE_000_035I've left the investigatin' to a...well, let's call him a black marketeer. He's a strange one─only came to the guild's attention recently. But I've never met a cove who could get information so quickly.
6160TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_JACKE_000_036The Veil was lifted by a southerly this morn─that'll put the man at the House o' Sticks. Here's a sack o' blunt. Bene luck to ye, lass.
6261TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_JACKE_000_050Haven't forgotten, have ye? That's not yer style, lass. Ye'll want to be headin' to the House o' Sticks.
6362TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_KARASU_000_100You want information? Then come, render unto me what is mine.
6463TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_KARASU_000_110Hm, hmmm... Yes... Yes, this seems to be everything I was promised. The back alleys are awfully profitable, eh? Now, about these Truehounds.
6564TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_KARASU_000_111Most of the Salthounds crawled back to land after the Calamity. But a few refused to leave the seas, and took up again as the Truehounds. They sail under the black flag of one Captain Rosalinde.
6665TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_KARASU_100_111They boast the strength of a crew twice their size, mostly because of the pluto they take. With their muscles bolstered by the substance─and a healthy dose of natural viciousness─they have brought themselves fortune and infamy on the eastern seas.
6766TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_KARASU_000_112Now, however, they've hidden their ship away on Hullbreaker Isle and made their way to Costa del Sol. Seems they fancied a cup of ale and a peek at the dancing girls.
6867TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_KARASU_000_113They won't be hard to spot if you wanted a look, but do so at your own peril. Drunken pirates might not frighten you. But Redway, their new sellsword, should.
6968TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_KARASU_000_114They say he is an *ex*-member of Garlean covert operations, one who has thrown himself into the study of ninjutsu.
7069TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_KARASU_000_115His pursuit has paid off handsomely...albeit at the cost of his humility. Stay vigilant, or you'll find his blade pricking your back.
7170TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_KARASU_000_116Anyhow, that's all from me! Give my best to the dim one...little chick! Ahahaha!
7271TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_ROSALINDE_000_200Redway, Redway, Redway. I lost me plunder. That's coin I may never get back. But you convinced me to give ye time. Make yer report worth me while, or I'll have yer head.
7372TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_REDWAY_000_201There were two thieves, Captain─the Iron Orchid herself, and some servant. The latter looks to be more brawny than brave, but the princess is dangerous.
7473TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_REDWAY_000_202She has two shinobi in her employ. One is a Doman jonin, Oboro. He, too, is a force to be reckoned with.
7574TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_REDWAY_000_203The other is a Hyur─Player, if I'm not wrong. She is famous in her own right, and dangerous.
7675TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_REDWAY_000_204Their involvement makes me think the princess has more coin than she lets on. These two are responsible for my master's death─their services cannot be cheap.
7776TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_ROSALINDE_000_205Yer master's murderers, eh? Ye wouldn't be dreamin' of avengin' Gekkai on *my* time now, would ye?
7877TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_REDWAY_000_206Vengeance, Captain? Why? Gekkai treated me like scum, he and Karasu both. Because I wasn't from their precious little village.
7978TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_REDWAY_000_207But Oboro? If I triumph over Gekkai's *favorite*, I triumph over the lot of them! That is my heart's desire, yes.
8079TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_ROSALINDE_000_208I could give a gnat's arse what ye do with the ninjas. But it's not *them* I want─it's the princess. Alive.
8180TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_ROSALINDE_000_209The way I see it, the auction's the perfect trap─baited, as it is, with the Yatsurugi dagger.
8281TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_ROSALINDE_000_210The Iron Orchid can't resist. Catchin' her then'll be easy an' fast─*savvy*, Redway?
8382TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_REDWAY_000_211Of course, of course. The princess won't stand a chance with the guard doubled. No she won't.
8483TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_000_250This better not be some ploy to worm your way into my good graces.
8584TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_AKAGI_000_255Clean, tidy, cozy─a bloke could get used to livin' in a place like this.
8685TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_300Success, Player?
8786TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_301Hmmm. This Rosalinde is a clever one, spying upon us through Redway...
8887TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_302Princess, the foe will be watching for our tricks now. Reclaiming the last treasure will be that much harder. So I beg you─leave it to us shinobi.
8988TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_000_303I know there's sense in what you say, Oboro. But this is my problem. I alone must solve it.
9089TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_000_304I...I will *not* allow more people to die in my name!
9190TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_000_305...The Truehounds didn't just steal the treasures. My people stood in their way. And many died. Too many.
9291TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_000_306I wanted to fight. But my vassals wouldn't allow it. And as they were cut down, they called for me. *Screamed* my name. You can't imagine how that feels.
9392TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_100_306My lands are so close to destruction. My people are on the brink of starvation. If *I* do not do something, all of their sacrifices will mean nothing.
9493TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_200_306When I came here, I vowed that I would bring prosperity to my country by finding and selling my treasures. Alone. No one would ever die protecting me again. Not my smallfolk, nor my vassals, nor you.
9594TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_AKAGI_300_306You don't want anyone to die protectin' you, Princess? What about those of us who would give our lives willingly to defend you!?
9695TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_AKAGI_000_307If...if you won't trust in the shinobi, then...then I...I'll slice open my belly!
9796TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_AKAGI_000_308I'm bound to you, Princess, but they're not! We've given them no coin, no gratitude, an' yet they're still helpin' us! You can trust them, you *have* to─or there's no takin' back the treasure!
9897TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_AKAGI_000_309*Trust* the shinobi. Or lose me, an' add one more to those who died tryin' to protect you. That'll get you to stop. Right? P-Princess!?
9998TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_000_310...Heh...hehehe! Akagi, you have the *strangest* way of... Clearly, the shinobi have left a great impression upon you.
10099TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_000_311Oboro, Player─consider this my formal request. Help me retake our last treasure.
101100TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_YUKI_000_312But I have one condition. No matter what happens, you will not lay down your lives for mine. Call it...a duty to stay alive, if you wish.
102101TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_313To stay alive, hm? An interesting notion. Shinobi are trained to put duty ahead of all else, including our lives.
103102TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_314That said, Player, this is the mission that has been given you. You are duty-bound to see it through. And come what may, I know that completing it will aid in your growth as a shinobi.
104103TEXT_JOBNIN560_01686_OBORO_000_315Now, we wait, and watch for signs of the auction. I will approach Jacke. With the eyes and ears in his service, we will spread a web, and so catch word of the Yatsurugi clan's dagger.
