10TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SEQ_00Sanson is at his wit's end with Nourval.
21TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SEQ_01Against Sanson's express instructions to lay low in the garrison, Nourval has been doing anything but, approaching and questioning every single soldier about. While Sanson keeps an eye on the froward civilian, he bids you find Guydelot and ask what your fellow bard has been able to glean from the locals.
32TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SEQ_02Instead of sharing his findings, Guydelot saddles you with a task. Masked bandits have been terrorizing the area of late, and your fellow bard would have you investigate a Twin Adder scout who is late to report back. While Guydelot keeps an eye on a suspicious Nourval, he bids you make your way to the northeast of the Fringes towards Schism, where the soldier was headed.
43TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SEQ_03Near Pike Falls, you find the Twin Adder scout at the mercy of the masked bandits, and promptly drive away the assailants. With the area secured, render assistance to the ailing scout.
54TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SEQ_04The Twin Adder scout thanks you for your timely intervention, and observes that the bandits seemed to know of his coming in advance and sought to bar his path. Take word of the encounter back to your comrades at Castrum Oriens.
65TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SEQ_05At Sanson's insistence, Nourval reveals that the tome rests in a place connected to Gylbarde, the renowned general who led the Ala Mhigan forces during the Autumn War. Putting two and two together, Guydelot suggests that the bandits may also be after the tome. The possibility seems to rattle Nourval, who excuses himself in spite of Sanson's protests. At this time, Guydelot reveals that Nourval has been stealing out of the castrum while your backs are turned. Sanson decides to allow Nourval to act freely in order to learn his true purpose, and bids you stand at the ready for whatever may come to pass. ※The next bard quest will be available from Sanson upon reaching level 65.

4948TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_NOURVAL_100_000Though I am but a humble civilian, I shall endeavor to make myself useful.
5049TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_000Gah! I can't believe I'm saying this, but Nourval might be an even bigger pain than Guydelot!
5150TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_001Despite my express instructions to keep out of the garrison's way, what does he do but go and bother every single soldier about? And now everyone here looks at us askance!
5251TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_002<sigh> I brought a tome to record mission details, but instead I'm filling it with the names of those to whom I must apologize...
5352TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_NOURVAL_000_004I'm sorry if I've caused trouble, but it's simply more efficient that I make the inquiries myself. What a man says amounts to only half the story; how he says it gives you the rest.
5453TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_NOURVAL_000_005Besides, I felt compelled to make up for Master Guydelot. All he seemed to be doing was drinking and singing.
5554TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_007Well, appearances can be deceiving with him. He has his own way of acquiring information. Speaking of which, I am curious as to what he has learned.
5655TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_008Player, might I ask you to look around the castrum for him? I will keep a close eye on Nourval in the meantime.
5756TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_015Guydelot will be somewhere in the castrum, making his inquiries with a lyre in one hand and a cup in the other. Please find him and ask what he has managed to learn.
5857TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_NOURVAL_000_020Quite a character indeed, hehehe...
5958TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_030Sanson wants to know what I know, does he? Well, might be as I've learned a thing or two, but I ain't ready to share 'em yet.
6059TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_031Still need to clear up some details, see, and I'm not one for unfinished tales. It ain't bardly, as I'm sure you can appreciate.
6160TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_032Seeing as you're here, though, there *is* something I could use a hand with.
6261TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_033Of late, masked bandits have been terrorizing the area. Not even Alliance soldiers are safe, it seems. The brazen bastards set on a patrol just the other day.
6362TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_034And now, a Twin Adder scout's late to return, and chances are the bandits are at it again. I want you to go and check things out.
6463TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_100_034I'd go myself, but I need to keep an eye on our friend Nourval. He's been acting queer since we got here.
6564TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_035There'll be more to tell later, but for now you'd best be on your way. The soldier was bound for Schism, the ruins to the northeast of here.
6665TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_040Not only does he refuse to divulge his findings, but he sets you a task instead? Well, knowing Guydelot, we must assume he has his reasons. Please do as he asks.
6766TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_045Remember, the Twin Adder scout was bound for Schism, the ruins to the northeast of here. I'll keep an eye on Nourval in the meantime.
6867TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_POPMESSAGE_100_046You are under attack!
6968TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_BALLOON_000_048More of them!
7069TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_BALLOON_000_049That's as far as you go!
7170TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SERPENTSOLDIER02891_000_050Th-Thank you... They fell upon me with nary a warning.
7271TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SERPENTSOLDIER02891_000_051They *knew* I was coming. We alter our patrol routes on a regular basis, but they knew. What's more, it was as though they were barring my way.
7372TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SERPENTSOLDIER02891_000_052But now is not the time for speculation. I must take word of this back to my superiors. My thanks again, friend.
7473TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_060Guydelot refuses to say a word until you return. I tell myself he has his reasons, but gods it's irritating.
7574TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_NOURVAL_000_065I ask you, how is a man supposed to go about his business when he is constantly watched? And I merely wish to be helpful.
7675TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_070There you are, Player. So, what happened? Was it the bandits after all?
7776TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_071Masked bandits in the area, and you had an encounter with them!? Thank the Matron you did not come to harm!
7877TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_100_071Guydelot, why did you not see fit to share this with us?
7978TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_101_071Aye, well, I knew it was nothing Player couldn't handle alone. Besides, I had some business of my own, someone to keep an eye on.
8079TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_NOURVAL_000_072...I cannot imagine who that might be. Master Guydelot─I owe you an apology. I had assumed in err that you were not doing your work. Unorthodox though your methods may be, there is no doubting their efficacy.
8180TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_073Ain't no trick to what I do. Everyone's got a song what's close to their hearts, and with a bit of camaraderie in the cups, they'll tell you what it is. Then I strum 'em their song over a heart-to-heart, is all.
8281TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_074Thanks to Guydelot, we were able to learn of the recent incidents. So I ask you, will you not have a little faith in us?
8382TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_NOURVAL_000_075I'm not certain I understand.
8483TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_076Look, Nourval. We've made a stop here at your request, that we might gather information for our search. But not once did you tell us what it is we should look for.
8584TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_077By now we have more than a solid grasp of the region beyond. What should we do next?
8685TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_NOURVAL_000_078Oh my, did I neglect to tell you? My profoundest apologies. The tome we seek─it's said to rest in a place connected to Gylbarde, the general who led the Ala Mhigan forces during the Autumn War.
8786TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_079Now that you mention it, the masked bandits appeared on the way to Schism. And Gylbarde was a known devotee of the Fist of Rhalgr. Just taking a wild stab here, but might be as they're also after the tome.
8887TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_NOURVAL_000_082An unsettling notion. Should that be the case, we haven't any time to waste. I will go and make some inquiries immediately.
8988TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_083W-Wait! I didn't give you perm─
9089TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_084Leave him. There's something you two need to know.
9190TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_085I got this from a soldier, but Nourval's been sneaking outside the castrum while our backs were turned.
9291TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_GUYDELOT_000_086Bastards's been acting right fishy since we got here, and he tensed up good when the subject of the masked bandits came up.
9392TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_087Whatever his true motives may be, we must bring them to light. Rather than reel him in, let us give him some line to act.
9493TEXT_JOBBRD630_02891_SANSON_000_088There is no telling what Nourval will do next. While we keep watch, please see that you are ready to deal with anything.
