| 4 | 0 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000010_ALISAIE | Ah, there you are. You're just in time to welcome our guest... |
| 5 | 1 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000020_EMETSELCH | Please. Did I not explicitly tell you that we would be meeting again soon? |
| 6 | 2 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000030_EMETSELCH | Lest you forget, I made you a promise. I have no intention of meddling with your mission. I come only to observe. |
| 7 | 3 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000040_EMETSELCH | Your Exarch friend in particular has piqued my curiosity. Summoning you all like that. Most impressive. |
| 8 | 4 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000050_THANCRED | You honestly expect us to believe you've come only to observe? Or that you might deign to lift a finger to aid our cause if called upon? |
| 9 | 5 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000060_THANCRED | Even if there were a sliver of truth in your words, I would never accept your help. Not in my darkest hour─not after all the suffering your kind has wrought. |
| 10 | 6 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000070_EMETSELCH | So petty. I meant what I said and I said what I meant. |
| 11 | 7 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000080_EMETSELCH | Wage your war against the sin eaters. Put each and every Lightwarden to the sword. |
| 12 | 8 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000090_EMETSELCH | Prove yourselves heroes brave and true, and I will be glad to embrace you as allies. |
| 13 | 9 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000100_EMETSELCH | Allies worthy of bearing the burden of truth. |
| 14 | 10 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000110_EMETSELCH | Surely such a partnership would be preferable to yet another round of fisticuffs? |
| 15 | 11 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000120_EMETSELCH | ...And thus did the olive branch wither and die. Pity. |
| 16 | 12 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000130_EMETSELCH | Well─let no man say I did not try, futile as it was. |
| 17 | 13 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000140_EMETSELCH | Though I suspect you will seek me out when you grow tired of making the same mistakes. |
| 18 | 14 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000150_EMETSELCH | Difficult decisions lie ahead of you. Decisions best made with the benefit of knowledge to which only the eternal are privy. |
| 19 | 15 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000160_EMETSELCH | For now, I shall resume my shadowy vigil. Whatever you choose to do, make sure it's worth watching, would you. |
| 20 | 16 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000170_ALISAIE | What was that all about? |
| 21 | 17 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000180_THANCRED | A vain attempt to make us doubt our chosen course, most like. As if we'd believe a word that passed his lips. |
| 22 | 18 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000190_THANCRED | Unless you think there is some truth in what he says? |
| 23 | 19 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_Q1_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 24 | 20 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A1_000_001_NONE_VOICE | A kernel, perhaps... |
| 25 | 21 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A1_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Not one jot. |
| 26 | 22 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A1_000_003_NONE_VOICE | I don't know. But if he crosses us, I'll make him wish he hadn't. |
| 27 | 23 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000200_ALPHINAUD | If he simply meant to lead us astray, he could have done so without revealing himself. At least, not in the manner he did. |
| 28 | 24 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000210_ALPHINAUD | I share your suspicion, of course. But if he simply meant to lead us astray, he could have done so without revealing himself. At least, not in the manner he did. |
| 29 | 25 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000220_ALPHINAUD | I am sure you will. But consider for a moment: if he meant simply to lead us astray, he could have done so without revealing himself. At least, not in the manner he did. |
| 30 | 26 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000230_ALPHINAUD | It goes without saying that an alliance with the Ascians is out of the question. But since we have no way of knowing where they might be hiding, it seems only logical to press on with our mission─even if our enemy seems content for it to succeed. |
| 31 | 27 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000240_MYSTERYVOICE | Then let us discuss the sin eaters. |
| 32 | 28 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000250_MYSTERYVOICE | I would begin by thanking you all for your efforts thus far. |
| 33 | 29 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000260_MYSTERYVOICE | In striking down the Lightwardens of Lakeland and Il Mheg, you have accomplished more in your short time here than all of our forces managed in the last century. |
| 34 | 30 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000270_THANCRED | That may be, but the Wardens of Kholusia, Amh Araeng, and Rak'tika remain. |
| 35 | 31 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000280_MYSTERYVOICE | Indeed. And their precise whereabouts are as yet unknown. |
| 36 | 32 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000290_MYSTERYVOICE | Which is why I propose we divide our forces and conduct a systematic survey of each region. Once we have found our quarry, we may then determine how best to proceed. |
| 37 | 33 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000300_ALISAIE | I'll take Amh Araeng, in that case. I know the lie of the land well enough. |
| 38 | 34 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000310_ALPHINAUD | If there are no objections, I will make for Kholusia. I have connections there both in and around Eulmore that may prove useful. |
| 39 | 35 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000320_MYSTERYVOICE | Then I would ask that you journey to Rak'tika. |
| 40 | 36 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000330_MYSTERYVOICE | There you will find Y'shtola. With her assistance, I doubt the Warden will evade your grasp for long. |
| 41 | 37 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000340_RYNE | Is Y'shtola the conjurer you and Urianger used to talk about? |
| 42 | 38 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000350_THANCRED | That's right. Though we haven't spoken much since she left for the forest. |
| 43 | 39 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000360_MYSTERYVOICE | I fear I may be to blame for that. I had every intention of relaying the news of your arrival, but she is...disinclined to speak with me. |
| 44 | 40 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000370_MYSTERYVOICE | You have visited her, have you not? Might I trouble you to...? |
| 45 | 41 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000380_URIANGER | 'Twould be no trouble. |
| 46 | 42 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000390_MYSTERYVOICE | My thanks. While you are all out in the field, I shall be here attending to business. I had somewhat fancifully contemplated joining the search myself, but other matters demand my attention. |
| 47 | 43 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000400_ALISAIE | What's that? |
| 48 | 44 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000410_MYSTERYVOICE | A missive from Lord Vauthry. He invites me to join him in Eulmore to discuss the recent conflict at Lydha Lran. |
| 49 | 45 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000420_ALISAIE | And? Did he even bother to offer any bait? It's obviously a trap. |
| 50 | 46 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000430_MYSTERYVOICE | I should be surprised if it were not. Nevertheless, I must seize this opportunity to speak with him, even if only a few words are exchanged. |
| 51 | 47 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000440_MYSTERYVOICE | Though my power will be much diminished so far from the tower, it is a risk I am willing to take. |
| 52 | 48 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000450_MYSTERYVOICE | Master Alphinaud─might I impose upon you to accompany me to Eulmore, prior to beginning your reconnaissance? |
| 53 | 49 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000460_ALPHINAUD | Of course. |
| 54 | 50 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000470_MYSTERYVOICE | Then let us make ready. Safe travels to you all. |
| 55 | 51 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000480_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | No matter how far he goes, man cannot resist looking back on the path he has walked. |
| 56 | 52 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000490_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | The untold stories and secrets of the past can be more alluring than the promise of tomorrow. |
| 57 | 53 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000500_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | And so he braves the forests of Rak'tika in search of mystery and wonder... |
| 58 | 54 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000510_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Of Ronka, to which all seekers of hidden truths are inevitably drawn... |
| 59 | 55 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000520_URIANGER | We have arrived. |
| 60 | 56 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000530_URIANGER | Vast though these woods may be, they are, by and large, uninhabitable. |
| 61 | 57 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000540_URIANGER | Not so the swamps of Citia, however, whose sparse foliage permitted man a foothold. |
| 62 | 58 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000550_EMETSELCH | "No lands must remain beyond our grasp. Go forth. Conquer. Rule.“ |
| 63 | 59 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000560_EMETSELCH | Forgive me. A sudden pang of nostalgia for those halcyon days. |
| 64 | 60 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000570_EMETSELCH | Exploring virgin territories, subjugating primitive peoples. All for the glory of Garlemald! |
| 65 | 61 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000580_THANCRED | If you've brought your ivory standard, I'll be happy to tell you where to stick it. |
| 66 | 62 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000590_EMETSELCH | Can we not simply take a moment to enjoy the view together? Or would you rather I spied on you from the shadows? |
| 67 | 63 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000600_EMETSELCH | Much more of this, and I may very well begin to regret my show of good faith. |
| 68 | 64 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000610_RYNE | If...if you really want to stay, then help us fight. |
| 69 | 65 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000620_EMETSELCH | Mmm... No, I think not. I am an observer─nothing more. |
| 70 | 66 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000630_EMETSELCH | Even shielded by the shadows of these boughs, I feel the Light's presence most keenly. |
| 71 | 67 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000640_EMETSELCH | To accompany you is taxing enough. To fight is out of the question. |
| 72 | 68 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000650_THANCRED | I will suffer your company if I must, but not your commentary. |
| 73 | 69 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000660_URIANGER | I see little sign of recent activity, nor hath any meaningful progress been made with the reconstruction... |
| 74 | 70 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000670_URIANGER | Mayhap Y'shtola sought shelter elsewhere. Come, let us quit this place. |
| 75 | 71 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000680_RUNAR | (-Blessed Leader-)Now! Surround them! |
| 76 | 72 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000690_RUNAR | (-Blessed Leader-)These sin eaters─they are not like the others! |
| 77 | 73 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000700_THANCRED | There's a reason for that. Lower your weapons, please. We mean you no harm. |
| 78 | 74 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000710_PEOPLEOFNIGHTA | How is it they can speak!? |
| 79 | 75 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000720_PEOPLEOFNIGHTB | It's a sin eater trick! They mean to kill us all! |
| 80 | 76 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_Q2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 81 | 77 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A2_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Please! We're not sin eaters! |
| 82 | 78 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A2_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Uh... Kupo? |
| 83 | 79 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A2_000_003_NONE_VOICE | ... |
| 84 | 80 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000730_PEOPLEOFNIGHTA | Perhaps they speak the truth. |
| 85 | 81 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000740_THANCRED | ...That will seem a lot less amusing when we are forced to kill them. |
| 86 | 82 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000750_EMETSELCH | Oh, for the love of... |
| 87 | 83 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000760_EMETSELCH | I had hoped that by accompanying you, we might come to understand one another, but all I have come to understand is that you have a knack for inflaming the natives. |
| 88 | 84 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000770_EMETSELCH | You've committed the cardinal sin of <Emphasis>boring</Emphasis> me. And so I retire to the shade. |
| 89 | 85 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000780_EMETSELCH | Good luck. |
| 90 | 86 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000790_PEOPLEOFNIGHTA | There! Did you see that one disappear!? |
| 91 | 87 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000800_THANCRED | (SIGH) |
| 92 | 88 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000810_THANCRED | I think I preferred Lahabrea. |
| 93 | 89 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000820_YSHTOLA | (-???-)Enough. Runar, report. |
| 94 | 90 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000830_RUNAR | Master Matoya! |
| 95 | 91 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000840_RUNAR | We apprehended them as you ordered, but...are you certain these are sin eaters? |
| 96 | 92 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000850_YSHTOLA | The intense light of the aether I saw was unmistakable. If not sin eaters, then what? |
| 97 | 93 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000860_URIANGER | 'Tis passing queer that Y'shtola should mistake us for the enemy, is it not? |
| 98 | 94 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000870_URIANGER | Mayhap it hath been too long since last she beheld the radiance of thine aether... |
| 99 | 95 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000880_URIANGER | Master Matoya. Hath time truly made strangers of us? |
| 100 | 96 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000890_YSHTOLA | Nay. I recognize you, Urianger, Thancred. And this is Minfilia of the First, of whom you spoke before. |
| 101 | 97 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000900_URIANGER | Just so. And knowing as thou must that we come in peace, might I prevail upon thee to have thy comrades lower their arms? |
| 102 | 98 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000910_YSHTOLA | First explain this other presence in your company. The one I know not. |
| 103 | 99 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000920_YSHTOLA | There is but one manner of creature in this world whose aether is suffused with such an abundance of light. |
| 104 | 100 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000930_URIANGER | Mine apologies, Master Matoya, but thou art mistaken. Before thee standeth our dearest comrade. The truest hero among us. |
| 105 | 101 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000940_URIANGER | Though he is but recently arrived here in the First, not one but <Emphasis>two</Emphasis> Lightwardens have already perished by his most puissant hand. |
| 106 | 102 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000950_URIANGER | Though she is but recently arrived here in the First, not one but <Emphasis>two</Emphasis> Lightwardens have already perished by her most puissant hand. |
| 107 | 103 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000960_YSHTOLA | It... It cannot be! |
| 108 | 104 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_Q3_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 109 | 105 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A3_000_001_NONE_VOICE | It's been too long...clearly. |
| 110 | 106 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A3_000_002_NONE_VOICE | Nice to see you too...“Master Matoya.” |
| 111 | 107 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A3_000_003_NONE_VOICE | You truly thought me a sin eater? |
| 112 | 108 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000970_RUNAR | Master Matoya? |
| 113 | 109 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000980_YSHTOLA | Lower your weapons. |
| 114 | 110 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_000990_YSHTOLA | Forgive us this hostile welcome. |
| 115 | 111 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001000_YSHTOLA | Come, I would give you a proper introduction to Rak'tika and its people. |
| 116 | 112 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001010_YSHTOLA | Slitherbough is the largest of the Blessed's settlements. |
| 117 | 113 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001020_YSHTOLA | They worship no gods, instead revering Darkness itself. |
| 118 | 114 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001030_YSHTOLA | It is a curious kind of faith, but one which has granted them the strength to persevere in the wake of the Flood. |
| 119 | 115 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001040_YSHTOLA | I hope you weren't expecting a grand feast by way of welcome. They are a simple people. |
| 120 | 116 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001050_YSHTOLA | Now, I would hear of your travels away from prying ears. Come. |
| 121 | 117 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001060_YSHTOLA | I see. And now you seek the Lightwarden of Rak'tika. |
| 122 | 118 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001070_YSHTOLA | In the days after I arrived in the First, I too relied upon the Crystal Exarch for guidance. But his penchant for secrecy and the telling of half-truths soon lost him my trust. And thus did I strike out on my own. |
| 123 | 119 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001080_YSHTOLA | My work eventually led me here to the forest, which I have come to know like the back of my hand. |
| 124 | 120 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001090_YSHTOLA | I cannot say with certainty where your quarry is hiding, but I am confident I can narrow the search. |
| 125 | 121 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001100_THANCRED | Well...go on, then. |
| 126 | 122 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001110_YSHTOLA | Some few thousand years ago, this forest stood at the heart of the empire of Ronka. |
| 127 | 123 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001120_YSHTOLA | A great many relics of that civilization can still be found to the east in Yx'Maja. |
| 128 | 124 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001130_YSHTOLA | Or rather, <Emphasis>could</Emphasis> be found─were the area not fiercely guarded. |
| 129 | 125 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001140_YSHTOLA | Yx'Maja, you see, is home to a tribe of warriors whose lineage is said to date back to the time of the empire. Any attempt to enter their territory is met with lethal force. They offer no warnings, and suffer no trespasser to escape. |
| 130 | 126 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001150_YSHTOLA | Needless to say, my every attempt to survey the area has been thwarted. |
| 131 | 127 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001160_URIANGER | Mayhap the Warden hideth there full knowing none may approach it for fear of these protectors. |
| 132 | 128 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001170_YSHTOLA | As for the tablet... |
| 133 | 129 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001180_YSHTOLA | I find the timing of its discovery suspiciously convenient. If I did not know better, I would think someone was trying to curry favor with me. |
| 134 | 130 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001190_YSHTOLA | Regardless, it will take time to decipher these writings. Yet I would not be at all surprised if they somehow held the key to entering Yx'Maja unmolested. The Exarch has a nose for serendipity. |
| 135 | 131 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001200_URIANGER | If there is aught I can do to assist thee in unraveling their secrets, thou need'st only ask. |
| 136 | 132 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001210_YSHTOLA | Thank you, Urianger. I may well take you up on that offer. |
| 137 | 133 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001220_YSHTOLA | While we set to work, might I suggest you take a tour of the city? |
| 138 | 134 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001230_YSHTOLA | Should you be in any doubt as to the importance of your role as the “Warrior of Darkness,” the people here will surely cure you of it. |
| 139 | 135 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001240_THANCRED | I must say, Y'shtola...while most of us have struggled to come to terms with our altered circumstances, you seem to have adapted rather well. |
| 140 | 136 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001250_YSHTOLA | Lest you forget, Master Matoya and I dedicated our lives to uncovering the truth which hides at the heart of our world. |
| 141 | 137 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001260_YSHTOLA | Though separate, the fate of this reflection is nevertheless bound to that of our home. That I would be daunted by such an invaluable opportunity is absurd. |
| 142 | 138 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001270_YSHTOLA | But what of you, Thancred? Could it be that you are still struggling to “come to terms” with the nature of your young companion? |
| 143 | 139 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001280_THANCRED | My “struggles” are none of your concern. Quite why you would speak thus─and in <Emphasis>this</Emphasis> company─I do not know. Perhaps you left more of yourself back in the Source than I assumed. If you'll excuse me. |
| 144 | 140 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001290_RYNE | He understands that I'm not the same. That I'm not her. |
| 145 | 141 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001300_YSHTOLA | Understands, perhaps, but does not accept. The question being whether he ever will. |
| 146 | 142 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001310_YSHTOLA | And whether <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> will, more importantly. As difficult as your circumstances may be, they are yours, not his. 'Tis you and you alone who bears ultimate responsibility for your life. |
| 147 | 143 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001320_YSHTOLA | But you need not make any hard choices now. Why not go and get some fresh air─clear your head? |
| 148 | 144 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001330_YSHTOLA | It seemed only right that we show our faces. May we join you? |
| 149 | 145 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001340_RUNAR | Let us begin. |
| 150 | 146 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001350_RUNAR | I thank you all for coming to pay respects to our fallen daughter of the night. In the light, she was known as Toddia. But in the dark, we shall remember her always as Minnine. Let us each take a moment to offer her our prayers. |
| 151 | 147 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001360_RUNAR | We entrust her now to the night's sweet embrace. |
| 152 | 148 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001370_RUNAR | In Darkness will she be free from pain and suffering, now and forevermore. |
| 153 | 149 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001380_RUNAR | May her soul find peace in the sunless sea of heaven, and in the love we bear for her in our hearts. |
| 154 | 150 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001390_YSHTOLA | That vessel represents the night sky. The “sunless sea of heaven.” |
| 155 | 151 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001400_RUNAR | We call upon you now, O Bringer of Shadow, to lead this gentle soul unto the sea. We call upon you, O Warrior of Darkness, to deliver her unto paradise everlasting. |
| 156 | 152 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001410_YSHTOLA | I am told you assisted in the preparations for the service. On behalf of the Blessed, you have my sincerest thanks. |
| 157 | 153 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001420_YSHTOLA | The enduring legend of the Warrior of Darkness owes much to the traditions of these people. |
| 158 | 154 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001430_YSHTOLA | And none were more ardent in their faith than Toddia. She would have been greatly moved by your presence. |
| 159 | 155 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_Q4_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 160 | 156 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A4_000_001_NONE_VOICE | I should like to have met her. |
| 161 | 157 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A4_000_002_NONE_VOICE | You know I don't deserve such reverence. |
| 162 | 158 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A4_000_003_NONE_VOICE | ... |
| 163 | 159 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001440_RYNE | You might not deliver her to the heavens, but if you could deliver the night sky to her people─the <Emphasis>real</Emphasis> night sky─it would be the next best thing. |
| 164 | 160 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001450_RYNE | Their prayers would finally be answered. They could gaze up at the firmament and see their ancestors in every twinkle of the stars. |
| 165 | 161 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001460_RYNE | We cannot allow their hopes and dreams to drown in the light. We have to bring back the dark. If we don't, who will? |
| 166 | 162 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001470_RYNE | Forgive me. Thinking of all those we have lost, I... |
| 167 | 163 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001480_THANCRED | No, it's all right. We <Emphasis>will</Emphasis> bring back the dark. |
| 168 | 164 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001490_YSHTOLA | Mayhap sooner than later, in fact. |
| 169 | 165 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001500_YSHTOLA | Urianger and I have finished deciphering the tablet, and its contents were most illuminating. Let us reconvene in my chambers. We have much to discuss. |
| 170 | 166 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001510_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | These paintings...they seem familiar. Depictions of heroes throughout history. The age of gods... The empire of Ronka... And this... |
| 171 | 167 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001520_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | There was a man. A researcher who pored over these pieces... |
| 172 | 168 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001530_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | He offered us work when we needed it. Slaying beasts, delivering provisions... A funny old bugger, he was, but he had a good heart. |
| 173 | 169 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001540_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | He believed this first painting dated back to a time of myth and legends. A tribute to the heroes of a long-forgotten era. |
| 174 | 170 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001550_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | The story went that it was rediscovered by an explorer from Ronka, who was so struck by its majesty that a second painting was commissioned, commemorating the heroes of their day. |
| 175 | 171 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001560_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | "One day, you will all be here too,“ he said. ”Heroes immortalized forever. Maybe I'll paint you myself!“ |
| 176 | 172 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001570_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | I had a good laugh at that. We were only trying to make our way, after all. Being heroes couldn't have been further from our minds. |
| 177 | 173 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001580_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | But it seems...he actually went and did it. Before or after the Flood, I wonder... |
| 178 | 174 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001590_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Rather faded, isn't it, compared to the others. Or did someone try to scrape it off the wall? Maybe the man himself, once he came to his senses... |
| 179 | 175 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001600_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Do you suppose your deeds will warrant an addition to this collection? Or some other kind of monument? |
| 180 | 176 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001610_YSHTOLA | There you are. I have everything I need. Let us quit this place. |
| 181 | 177 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001620_YSHTOLA | Is something the matter? We should go. The others are waiting. |
| 182 | 178 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001630_RUNAR | Strange... |
| 183 | 179 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001640_RUNAR | The others on patrol should have returned by now. Our food will be overcooked if we wait any longer. |
| 184 | 180 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001650_RUNAR | We will just have to start without them. Would you call Master Matoya and the others? |
| 185 | 181 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001660_YSHTOLA | I tire of these games, Urianger. Why do you pretend you cannot see it!? |
| 186 | 182 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001670_YSHTOLA | The blessing may spare <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> the fate of becoming a Lightwarden... |
| 187 | 183 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001680_YSHTOLA | But you cannot be blind to the nascent corruption! <If(PlayerParameter(4))>She<Else/>He</If> is not as <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> was in the Source. |
| 188 | 184 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001690_YSHTOLA | Though I have no proof, I fear that the light which poured forth from the Wardens was not negated at all. |
| 189 | 185 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001700_YSHTOLA | I fear it was <Emphasis>absorbed</Emphasis>─that <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> has been suffused with their light. |
| 190 | 186 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001710_URIANGER | Though I have given thought to this possibility, I dare not speak until more is known. |
| 191 | 187 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001720_YSHTOLA | (SIGH) |
| 192 | 188 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001730_YSHTOLA | By the time you deign to enlighten us, it may be too late─if it is not already. |
| 193 | 189 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001740_YSHTOLA | Urianger─I know full well, after all these years, that you have only the best of intentions. |
| 194 | 190 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001750_YSHTOLA | But that does not make it any easier to put my faith in a man so infatuated with secrecy. |
| 195 | 191 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001760_YSHTOLA | I have had my suspicions ever since the Exarch bade you speak that day, but now I must ask. |
| 196 | 192 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001770_YSHTOLA | The Eighth Umbral Calamity and all that followed; everything you claimed to have seen─did you? |
| 197 | 193 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001780_PEOPLEOFNIGHTA | Help! Someone help! |
| 198 | 194 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001790_PEOPLEOFNIGHTA | The Eulmorans have come for us! We're under attack! |
| 199 | 195 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001800_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE | Meanwhile, in Eulmore... |
| 200 | 196 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001810_MYSTERYVOICE | Lord Vauthry, how good it is to see you. How long has it been? Not since your inauguration, unless I am mistaken? Too long, at any rate. May I say how humbled I am to be invited not only into your city, but your home. You are as generous as ever. |
| 201 | 197 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001820_VAUTHRY | And you as disingenuous. |
| 202 | 198 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001830_VAUTHRY | Let us dispense with the pleasantries. This merry band of dissidents people are calling “Warriors of Darkness”... They have slain sin eaters, and by all accounts the Crystarium is complicit in their villainy. |
| 203 | 199 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001840_VAUTHRY | And now I hear reports of your people obstructing my soldiers. So I must ask: what exactly do you think you are doing? |
| 204 | 200 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001850_MYSTERYVOICE | I might ask you the same thing. It should be clear even to you that defeating the Lightwardens represents the world's only hope of survival. |
| 205 | 201 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001860_MYSTERYVOICE | Even now, the people of Lakeland and Il Mheg rejoice in the return of night. |
| 206 | 202 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001870_MYSTERYVOICE | For a hundred years, they yearned for a means to fight back against the sin eaters and at last they have found one. Yet you choose to stand idly by and do nothing. Why? |
| 207 | 203 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001880_VAUTHRY | Why? Because this “hope” you cling to is nothing more than a fever dream. An exercise in futility. |
| 208 | 204 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001890_VAUTHRY | Even should you slay the sin eaters, the world as we know it is beyond salvation. |
| 209 | 205 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001900_VAUTHRY | With what little land and resources remain, the people would be free only to starve. |
| 210 | 206 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001910_VAUTHRY | Before long they would turn to violence, then to war, and ultimately usher themselves unto oblivion. |
| 211 | 207 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001920_VAUTHRY | They require a firm hand to shepherd them from the edge. The hand of a king─nay, a god! |
| 212 | 208 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001930_VAUTHRY | I will see their dreams fulfilled, their wishes granted. I will give them peace, order─and they shall never want for bliss. |
| 213 | 209 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001940_VAUTHRY | Men are fickle creatures who entertain vague ideals without the faintest notion what they cost. But a little fear can go a long way towards helping them realize what it is they truly need. |
| 214 | 210 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001950_VAUTHRY | <Emphasis>Sanctuary</Emphasis>. And they shall find none in this world, save that which <Emphasis>I</Emphasis> afford them. |
| 215 | 211 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001960_VAUTHRY | That is why the sin eaters exist. To unite the world under <Emphasis>my</Emphasis> dominion! |
| 216 | 212 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001970_MYSTERYVOICE | A paradise fit to grace the Eighth Umbral Era. |
| 217 | 213 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001980_VAUTHRY | What was that? |
| 218 | 214 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_001990_MYSTERYVOICE | A minor epiphany, nothing more. |
| 219 | 215 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002000_MYSTERYVOICE | You have always held sway over those around you. Those who defy you must submit or die. What sits before me is the inevitable result of bloated privilege and unchecked power. |
| 220 | 216 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002010_MYSTERYVOICE | But man is more resilient than you think. |
| 221 | 217 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002020_MYSTERYVOICE | His achievements are not the product of violence and bloodshed but compassion and understanding. |
| 222 | 218 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002030_MYSTERYVOICE | This calamity is but another crisis to be overcome. And we will─once we eliminate the sin eaters. |
| 223 | 219 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002040_VAUTHRY | You poor, deluded fool. These people care not for the morrow. They care only for the now, and the contentment they lack. What good is a paradise to them if it is a thousand years in the making? Or even a hundred!? |
| 224 | 220 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002050_MYSTERYVOICE | You underestimate them, Lord Vauthry. They see further than you think. I have beheld it in the blood and sweat and tears of those who would sacrifice everything for a future they may never know. That their children may never know. |
| 225 | 221 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002060_MYSTERYVOICE | I have beheld it in the hopes and dreams of those who came before, which we bequeath to those who come after, that they might in turn build upon the foundations laid by our forebears. |
| 226 | 222 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002070_MYSTERYVOICE | <Emphasis>These</Emphasis> are the bonds which hold man and his world together, not your gilded chains─and I will resist your every effort to shackle him. |
| 227 | 223 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002080_VAUTHRY | In summary, you will continue to support the villains hunting my sin eaters? |
| 228 | 224 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002090_MYSTERYVOICE | With tremendous enthusiasm, for I have faith in the future they would build. |
| 229 | 225 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002100_VAUTHRY | Why do I even bother? |
| 230 | 226 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002110_VAUTHRY | Fools, the lot of you! So naive! So <Emphasis>painfully</Emphasis> predictable! |
| 231 | 227 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002120_VAUTHRY | Did you imagine I did not know your mind? That I would wait until <Emphasis>after</Emphasis> this meeting to dispatch my forces!? Even as we speak, they march to the sin eaters' defense! |
| 232 | 228 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002130_VAUTHRY | Insurrection will not be tolerated! |
| 233 | 229 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002140_VAUTHRY | The people of this world are mine to rule, mine to command... |
| 234 | 230 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002150_VAUTHRY | And you are no exception! |
| 235 | 231 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002160_VAUTHRY | What!? How did he─ |
| 236 | 232 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002170_VAUTHRY | Insolent swine! I will not stand for this. Do you hear me!? |
| 237 | 233 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002180_VAUTHRY | (SCREAM) |
| 238 | 234 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002190_RANJIT | You speak for the Night's Blessed? |
| 239 | 235 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002200_YSHTOLA | I do. |
| 240 | 236 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002210_YSHTOLA | I presume <Emphasis>that</Emphasis> is your doing. |
| 241 | 237 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002220_YSHTOLA | If you have come to parley, I must insist that you first return him to us. |
| 242 | 238 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002230_RANJIT | You are in no position to make demands. |
| 243 | 239 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002240_RANJIT | By Lord Vauthry's decree, Rak'tika now falls under the governance of Eulmore. You will henceforth answer to us. |
| 244 | 240 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002250_YSHTOLA | Is that so... |
| 245 | 241 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002251_YSHTOLA | And the Children of the Everlasting Dark have acquiesced to this madness? |
| 246 | 242 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002260_RANJIT | We have reached an accord, yes. |
| 247 | 243 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002270_RANJIT | Too many times have the Night's Blessed shunned Eulmore's overtures of friendship. The risk that you harbor hostile intentions has grown too great to ignore. |
| 248 | 244 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002280_RANJIT | Therefore his lordship has claimed dominion over this forest, and bestowed executive authority upon the Children of the Everlasting Dark. |
| 249 | 245 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002290_EVERLASTINGDARKNESS | In his wisdom, Lord Vauthry has agreed to recognize ours as the only permissible expression of Dark worship─its one true faith. |
| 250 | 246 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002300_EVERLASTINGDARKNESS | You and your false creed are a blight on these woods! A foul, unholy corruption that must be cleansed. |
| 251 | 247 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002310_EVERLASTINGDARKNESS | Little wonder the Warrior of Darkness visits both Lakeland and Il Mheg, yet shuns Rak'tika. Your perverted teachings hold blessed shadow at bay! |
| 252 | 248 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002320_YSHTOLA | You have accepted the yoke of Eulmore to spite us, then? Fools. Darkness will never return to these skies while they hold sway. |
| 253 | 249 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002330_RANJIT | Those of you minded to obey his lordship are to make for Woven Oath with all haste. We will leave you, that you may have time to prepare. |
| 254 | 250 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002340_RUNAR | Woven Oath!? Are you suggesting we abandon our faith to join those zealots!? |
| 255 | 251 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002350_EVERLASTINGDARKNESS | What has your “faith” afforded you thus far? Nothing! <Emphasis>We</Emphasis> will guide you along the righteous path. |

| 257 | 253 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002370_RANJIT | Anyone found here upon our return will be considered a traitor to Eulmore, and dealt with as such. |
| 258 | 254 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002380_YSHTOLA | We will discuss these developments after I have tended to our casualty. |

| 292 | 288 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002720_EULMOREADJUTANT | Eventually, someone will come to our rescue. Or yours. Promise us safe passage and we'll give you the antidote! |
| 293 | 289 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002730_EULMOREADJUTANT | Do we have a deal? |
| 294 | 290 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002740_RANJIT | We do not negotiate with the enemy. The villagers' lives are forfeit. As is yours... |
| 295 | 291 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002750_EULMOREADJUTANT | General? |
| 296 | 292 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002760_YSHTOLA | Do not fail. |
| 297 | 293 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002770_RANJIT | How noble. And pointless. |
| 298 | 294 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002780_RYNE | Is─is everyone all right? |

| 300 | 296 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002800_THANCRED | Urianger! |
| 301 | 297 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002810_URIANGER | At once! |
| 302 | 298 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002820_THANCRED | Down with you! |
| 303 | 299 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002830_RANJIT | Guh! |
| 304 | 300 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002840_RYNE | Where...where is Y'shtola? |
| 305 | 301 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002850_RYNE | Runar. Thank goodness. |
| 306 | 302 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002860_THANCRED | We delivered the antidote to Slitherbough, and from what we could gather on the way here, the Eulmorans have had the good manners to withdraw. |
| 307 | 303 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002870_THANCRED | Thank the gods they did, or we would never have made it here in time. I'm told we have Runar and his comrades to thank for keeping the soldiers occupied prior to their retreat. |
| 308 | 304 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002880_THANCRED | They were preparing to come for you and Y'shtola, it seems, when Runar rallied the villagers and pursued them out of Slitherbough. |
| 309 | 305 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002890_RUNAR | I must...I-I must... |
| 310 | 306 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002900_RUNAR | Where...am I? |
| 311 | 307 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002910_URIANGER | Yx'Maja, in the care of the Viis. Thou art safe now, friend. Pray, rest thee awhile longer. |
| 312 | 308 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002920_RUNAR | No...no, I am all right. Somewhat heavy of limb, perhaps, but otherwise well I assure you. |
| 313 | 309 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002930_RUNAR | I am glad to see you are all safe. When we realized where the soldiers were headed, we knew something had to be done. |
| 314 | 310 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002940_RUNAR | I...do not see Master Matoya. She was with you, yes? What happened to her? |
| 315 | 311 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_Q5_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 316 | 312 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A5_000_001_NONE_VOICE | I cannot say for certain─but it was she who secured the antidote. |
| 317 | 313 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A5_000_002_NONE_VOICE | She saved the Night's Blessed─albeit at a cost... |

| 320 | 316 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002960_RUNAR | Well!? Say something! Where is Master Matoya!? |
| 321 | 317 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002970_RUNAR | No...no... No, that cannot be... |
| 322 | 318 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002980_RUNAR | Why would she do such a thing? |
| 323 | 319 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_002990_RUNAR | Was there no other way? I...I cannot believe that she...that she... |
| 324 | 320 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003000_RUNAR | We must begin the search immediately! I will come with you! |
| 325 | 321 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003010_RUNAR | What are you waiting for? We must find her! She could be trapped or hurt or... |
| 326 | 322 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003020_RUNAR | She is alive. She is <Emphasis>alive</Emphasis>, damn you! |
| 327 | 323 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003030_ALMET | Forgive me for interrupting, but our scouts have apprehended an intruder. |
| 328 | 324 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003040_ALMET | We thought perhaps he might be an associate of yours... |
| 329 | 325 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003050_THANCRED | Oh, look who it is. |
| 330 | 326 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003060_EMETSELCH | Well...this is embarrassing. In my defense, they are surprisingly tenacious. |
| 331 | 327 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003070_EMETSELCH | So─what trouble have you gotten yourselves into this time? |
| 332 | 328 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003080_EMETSELCH | Well, well. What an intriguing turn of events. |
| 333 | 329 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003090_EMETSELCH | My condolences, by the way. 'Tis never easy to lose the ones we love. |
| 334 | 330 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003100_EMETSELCH | Well, she is dead, isn't she? Wishing it were otherwise will not make it so. |
| 335 | 331 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003110_THANCRED | That <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> should be indifferent to her loss is no surprise. But to us, she was a friend. The best of friends. |
| 336 | 332 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003120_RYNE | You have something on your mind. What is it? |
| 337 | 333 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_Q6_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 338 | 334 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A6_000_001_NONE_VOICE | I'm beginning to wonder what really happened when she fell. |
| 339 | 335 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A6_000_002_NONE_VOICE | After she fell, there was a powerful gust of wind as if from nowhere... |
| 340 | 336 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003130_URIANGER | Pray recount to us again that which thou witnessed in the ruins, omitting not the slightest detail. |
| 341 | 337 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003140_THANCRED | Flow... |
| 342 | 338 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003150_THANCRED | The teleportation magick she used to spirit us away from Ul'dah after the bloody banquet! I recall a similar gale in the tunnel before it took effect. |
| 343 | 339 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003160_EMETSELCH | Interesting. I thought I sensed a brief disturbance in the Lifestream. How reassuring to know it was not my imagination. |
| 344 | 340 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003170_EMETSELCH | I felt it only once, I should mention. Which would suggest she is still adrift on its currents. |
| 345 | 341 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003180_URIANGER | Then I fear she may yet be lost to us─for it was only by the grace of the elementals that she was plucked from that great aetherial river. |
| 346 | 342 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003190_EMETSELCH | Oh...very well. I'll go and fetch her... |
| 347 | 343 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003200_EMETSELCH | Perhaps a clear and unambiguous act of kindness will serve to win the trust you seem so determined to deny me. |
| 348 | 344 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003210_EMETSELCH | Yes, this place should serve well enough. |
| 349 | 345 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003220_EMETSELCH | Might I have a little space? I <Emphasis>need</Emphasis> to concentrate. |
| 350 | 346 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003230_EMETSELCH | Now then...what color was her soul again? |
| 351 | 347 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003240_EMETSELCH | Ah... There you are. |
| 352 | 348 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003250_RUNAR | He─He's done it! He's brought her back! |
| 353 | 349 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003260_YSHTOLA | (WAKING UP REAX) |
| 354 | 350 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003270_THANCRED | Y'shtola, are you all right? |
| 355 | 351 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003280_YSHTOLA | Yes... Though I cannot imagine how. What happened? |
| 356 | 352 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003290_URIANGER | Thou didst invoke the power of Flow, which thence did usher thy soul unto the Lifestream. |
| 357 | 353 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003300_YSHTOLA | I wanted to save the antidote, and after that... |
| 358 | 354 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003310_YSHTOLA | (SUDDEN LAUGH) |
| 359 | 355 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003320_YSHTOLA | I did something exceedingly reckless. For which you will just have to forgive me. |
| 360 | 356 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003330_YSHTOLA | (SHOCK REAX) |
| 361 | 357 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003340_RUNAR | Master Matoya! Oh, thank the heavens you're all right! |
| 362 | 358 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003350_RUNAR | I had nearly given up hope. |
| 363 | 359 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003360_YSHTOLA | Please, Runar, dry your tears. What would the others think if they saw you like this? |
| 364 | 360 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003370_YSHTOLA | Come now─did you really think I would go gently into that dark night with so much left undone? So many mysteries left unsolved? |
| 365 | 361 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003380_EMETSELCH | Ahem. Is there aught you wish to say to me? A word of <Emphasis>thanks</Emphasis>, perhaps? |
| 366 | 362 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003390_URIANGER | Emet-Selch, the Ascian of whom I spoke. 'Twas he who plucked thee from the Lifestream. |
| 367 | 363 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003400_YSHTOLA | I see. |
| 368 | 364 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003410_YSHTOLA | Thank you. Differences notwithstanding, you saved my life, and for that I am grateful. |
| 369 | 365 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003420_YSHTOLA | But let us turn our attention to more important matters, such as the Qitana Ravel. |
| 370 | 366 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003430_YSHTOLA | You had better not have explored its depths without me. |
| 371 | 367 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_Q7_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 372 | 368 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A7_000_001_NONE_VOICE | Heavens no. In fact, I was awaiting your return. |
| 373 | 369 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A7_000_002_NONE_VOICE | I wouldn't have known where to start. |
| 374 | 370 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A7_000_003_NONE_VOICE | I'll tell you after you've got some rest. |
| 375 | 371 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003440_THANCRED | Well. Almet and the others should be pleased to see you in such <Emphasis>uncharacteristically</Emphasis> high spirits. Let us return to Fanow, then, and discuss the coming expedition. |
| 376 | 372 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003450_RYNE | The Lightwarden is dead. The Blessed's prayers have been answered... |
| 377 | 373 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003460_THANCRED | Aye, that they have. |
| 378 | 374 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003470_URIANGER | His condition yet troubleth thee? |
| 379 | 375 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003480_URIANGER | Her condition yet troubleth thee? |
| 380 | 376 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003490_YSHTOLA | It does. Though <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> shows no immediate signs of corruption, the danger remains. <If(PlayerParameter(4))>She<Else/>He</If> must be told. |
| 381 | 377 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003500_YSHTOLA | ...Would you describe it to me, Urianger? Paint for me a picture with your words. |
| 382 | 378 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003510_URIANGER | A sea of shimmering stars. Diamonds strewn across a raven gown, boundless and beautiful. |
| 383 | 379 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003520_URIANGER | 'Tis an exquisite sight not unlike that of the Source. Calm and gentle...and forgiving... |
| 384 | 380 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003530_YSHTOLA | I can see it... |
| 385 | 381 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003540_URIANGER | For however deep the void, or wide the expanse, there is no shore so distant as to be beyond the reach of light. ...Ominous though that may sound, given our present travails. |
| 386 | 382 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003550_YSHTOLA | Well fought. Let us return home. |
| 387 | 383 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003560_YSHTOLA | The murals. If I am not mistaken, they predate the empire. |
| 388 | 384 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003570_RYNE | How can you tell? |
| 389 | 385 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003580_YSHTOLA | A peculiarity of the paint. Most are made from mineral-based pigments, but whatever was used here is older than anything I have ever seen. |
| 390 | 386 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003590_YSHTOLA | According to Almet, this sanctuary was built to preserve the wisdom of the ancients. What events do these murals commemorate, I wonder? |
| 391 | 387 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003600_EMETSELCH | Must you always linger after defeating your enemies? Navigating these halls on foot is exhausting. |
| 392 | 388 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003610_THANCRED | Come to lead us to safety, have you? |
| 393 | 389 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003620_EMETSELCH | Hmph! I was <Emphasis>bored</Emphasis>. But how is the hero of the hour? |
| 394 | 390 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003630_EMETSELCH | Hmm. Fighting fit, I see. Keep up the good work. |
| 395 | 391 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003640_YSHTOLA | You're plotting something. |
| 396 | 392 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003650_EMETSELCH | Every hour of every day. But never you mind about that. As I have told you a thousand times before: I like to watch. Nothing more. |
| 397 | 393 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003660_EMETSELCH | Well! I would quit this place, and I suggest you do the same. There is yet work to be done. |
| 398 | 394 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003670_EMETSELCH | Ah...there is a sight to bring a tear to the eye. |
| 399 | 395 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003680_RYNE | You recognize these scenes? |
| 400 | 396 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003690_EMETSELCH | That I do. Indeed, there was a time when anyone and everyone would. |
| 401 | 397 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003700_EMETSELCH | Until one calamitous day when the world was divided across ten and three reflections, sundering the land and all who dwelled upon it. |
| 402 | 398 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003710_EMETSELCH | And the worst part? No one could remember it. Not really. Just fragments and fleeting memories of an achingly familiar world... |
| 403 | 399 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003720_EMETSELCH | A vision shared of a paradise lost, preserved only in song and scripture and paint... |
| 404 | 400 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003730_EMETSELCH | Once upon a time. Yet here we find ourselves again. To look, learn, and <Emphasis>remember</Emphasis>... |
| 405 | 401 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003740_YSHTOLA | Then share with us the stories you know so well. We are listening. |
| 406 | 402 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003750_EMETSELCH | Before the great sundering, there was one world. A world that knew naught but peace and prosperity. |
| 407 | 403 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003760_EMETSELCH | Until it was faced with a crisis. Unprecedented, terrifying. Civilization found itself perched upon a precipice, staring into oblivion. |
| 408 | 404 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003770_EMETSELCH | But through prayer and sacrifice, the will of the star was made manifest. |
| 409 | 405 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003780_EMETSELCH | Zodiark was His name, and by His grace was the calamity averted. |
| 410 | 406 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003790_YSHTOLA | Zodiark!? |
| 411 | 407 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003800_EMETSELCH | A savior mighty and magnificent, deserving of reverence and gratitude...one would have thought. Yet some thought otherwise. |
| 412 | 408 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003810_EMETSELCH | From the fears of these naysayers would rise Hydaelyn─She who was to serve as His shackles. To bind Him and hold Him in check. |
| 413 | 409 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003820_EMETSELCH | And so they fought, and they fought, and they fought. And in the end...Hydaelyn was victorious. |
| 414 | 410 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003830_EMETSELCH | With all Her strength She smote Him─dealing a blow so devastating that it split the very fabric of reality. And thus was Zodiark banished and His being divided. |
| 415 | 411 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003840_EMETSELCH | That concludes today's lesson on long-forgotten history. Though I imagine your Mother would offer a rather contradictory account. As is Her wont. |
| 416 | 412 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003850_THANCRED | I'm sorry─I can only assume I misheard, but it sounded an awful lot like you were implying both Zodiark and Hydaelyn are not gods, but─ |
| 417 | 413 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003860_EMETSELCH | What? Not gods of the First? Is that what you thought these paintings depicted? Or...? Oh! Ohhh... |
| 418 | 414 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003870_EMETSELCH | They are gods after a fashion, yes, but no different from the kind with which you are so intimately acquainted. Formed of faith and prayer, of conviction and devotion... |
| 419 | 415 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003880_EMETSELCH | The eldest and most powerful...of primals. |
| 420 | 416 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003890_YSHTOLA | You have spun quite a tale. |
| 421 | 417 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003900_YSHTOLA | Yet you have not explained the role of the Ascians in all of this. How is it you are privy to ancient secrets lost to time? |
| 422 | 418 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003901_EMETSELCH | (LAUGH) |
| 423 | 419 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003910_EMETSELCH | Finally, <Emphasis>finally</Emphasis>, you ask the right question! And shrewd questions warrant honest answers... |
| 424 | 420 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003920_EMETSELCH | We Ascians know because it is our history. Our story. |
| 425 | 421 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003930_EMETSELCH | It was we who summoned Zodiark─we natives of that sundered paradise. |
| 426 | 422 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003940_EMETSELCH | Now do you see why we yearn for the Great Rejoining? |
| 427 | 423 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003950_EMETSELCH | For our world...for our people...for all creation to be made whole again. |
| 428 | 424 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003960_EMETSELCH | Wouldn't you wish for the same? |
| 429 | 425 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003970_RUNAR | Ah, you are returned! And none the worse for wear, I see. |
| 430 | 426 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003980_YSHTOLA | You needn't worry about us. What became of the Eulmoran soldiers, more importantly? |
| 431 | 427 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_003990_RUNAR | They turned tail and fled at the sight of the night sky. |
| 432 | 428 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004000_RUNAR | The Children of the Everlasting Dark have also retreated back to Woven Oath. |
| 433 | 429 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004010_RUNAR | Try as they might, they could not deny the truth of their own eyes... |
| 434 | 430 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004020_RUNAR | The sunless sea of heaven, full of love and grace, where none need know pain or suffering. |
| 435 | 431 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004030_RUNAR | In that moment, when the sky's light began to wane, I knew our prayers had been answered. |
| 436 | 432 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004040_RUNAR | ...That we were doomed to face oblivion at life's end no longer. |
| 437 | 433 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004050_RUNAR | When first we met, I harbored certain suspicions about you. Now I see that I was right. |
| 438 | 434 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004060_RUNAR | You are the Bringers of Shadow. The Warriors of Darkness. The saviors for whom we have prayed for so long. |
| 439 | 435 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004070_YSHTOLA | I suppose you're not entirely wrong... |
| 440 | 436 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004080_YSHTOLA | But we are not worthy of your reverence, nor have we any desire to be worshipped. If you would pray, pray for your children, that they may one day know a better world. |
| 441 | 437 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004090_RUNAR | ...I will do as you say. But please, let us at least hold a feast to celebrate your victory. You deserve that much. |
| 442 | 438 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004100_YSHTOLA | I am sorry, Runar, but there is still much to be done, and scant time in which to do it. |
| 443 | 439 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004110_YSHTOLA | We must go─all of us. For we share the same path and the same fate. |
| 444 | 440 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004120_RUNAR | So be it. I ask only that you hold us in your hearts, as we will hold you in ours, now and ever after. By the boundless dark, this I swear. |
| 445 | 441 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004130_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | So there's a light sealed inside you, is there? You wouldn't know it from the outside. You look the same as you ever did to me. |
| 446 | 442 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_Q8_000_001_NONE_VOICE | What will you say? |
| 447 | 443 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A8_000_001_NONE_VOICE | I must stay the course. For the others. |
| 448 | 444 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A8_000_002_NONE_VOICE | And what if that changes? What if it overwhelms me? |
| 449 | 445 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_A8_000_003_NONE_VOICE | Then I suppose there's naught to do but rest. |
| 450 | 446 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004140_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | True enough. Packing up and going home isn't really an option, is it. If you don't face the music here, it'll only come and find you there. |
| 451 | 447 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004150_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Damned if I know. It's not as if I can lift a finger to help myself, much less you. |
| 452 | 448 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004160_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Have faith in your friends. Look out for them, and hope that they look out for you. What more can you do? |
| 453 | 449 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004170_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Ah, yes. If they're not asking you to fight they're telling you to rest. Which isn't to say they're wrong. You'll need your strength for what's to come. |
| 454 | 450 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004180_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | ...Think he was telling the truth? Emet, I mean. All that rot about Hydaelyn being no different from any other primal... |
| 455 | 451 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004190_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | If so, what would that make Her “blessing”? Are we just slaves to Her will? |
| 456 | 452 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004200_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Ahh─let's pay him no mind. Lies are the Ascians' stock-in-trade. |
| 457 | 453 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004210_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Villains, heroes─all a matter of perspective, they'd have you believe. One man's fond memory another's waking nightmare... |
| 458 | 454 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004220_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | Me, I'm no saint or savior─just another sinner. And I know damn well I'm in no position to judge... |
| 459 | 455 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004230_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | When I saw the people of Slitherbough look up at the sky and celebrate the return of the dark...felt good. |
| 460 | 456 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004240_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | It was moments like that that I cherished─much more than the thrill of adventure. The quiet after the storm. |
| 461 | 457 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004250_WARRIOROFDARKNESS | I always took comfort in that. |
| 462 | 458 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004260_SYSTEM_NONE_VOICE | Meanwhile, in Garlemald... |
| 463 | 459 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004270_ESTINIEN | What did the scouts have to report? |
| 464 | 460 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004280_SHADOWHUNTER | Several skirmishes, but nothing of consequence. The fighting seems to have taken its toll on both sides. |
| 465 | 461 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004290_ESTINIEN | A stalemate, then. The Alliance has done well to hold the line for so long. |
| 466 | 462 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004300_ESTINIEN | ...But then they did have Ishgardian reinforcements. |
| 467 | 463 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004310_SHADOWHUNTER | Nevertheless, neither side has any appetite for a prolonged engagement. |
| 468 | 464 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004320_SHADOWHUNTER | 'Tis but the calm before the storm. And should the Empire choose to bring their full might to bear... |
| 469 | 465 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004330_ESTINIEN | To say nothing of Black Rose. |
| 470 | 466 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004340_ESTINIEN | All the more reason to hasten our search. How close are your people to identifying our next target? |
| 471 | 467 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004350_SHADOWHUNTER | Close enough. Though I have received some troubling intelligence. |
| 472 | 468 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004360_SHADOWHUNTER | One of our generals posted to the Ala Mhigan front recently disappeared without trace from the battlefield at the Ghimlyt Dark. |
| 473 | 469 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004370_ESTINIEN | Odd. Dead seems unlikely, fled less so. I wonder where he'll turn up... |
| 474 | 470 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004380_SHADOWHUNTER | Were I a betting man, I would say <Emphasis>here</Emphasis>─in the capital. |
| 475 | 471 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004390_SHADOWHUNTER | Not that any deserter who valued his life would contemplate returning. But a corpse might, given the right encouragement. |
| 476 | 472 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004400_ESTINIEN | In the manner of His Royal Remains, you mean? |
| 477 | 473 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004410_SHADOWHUNTER | Elidibus plainly has no need of a new host, so the question becomes, who? |
| 478 | 474 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004420_SHADOWHUNTER | It may be that another player has joined the game. |
| 479 | 475 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004430_SHADOWHUNTER | Something to consider, at any rate. But come, there is work to be done. |
| 480 | 476 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004440_ZENOS | These bloodless games make for poor sport. |
| 481 | 477 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004450_ZENOS | Mayhap if Father... Nay. I am a stranger to him in this body. |
| 482 | 478 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004460_ZENOS | Besides, there is but one hand that can make me whole again. My enemy...my friend... |
| 483 | 479 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004470_ZENOS | Besides, there is but one hand that can make me whole again. My enemy...my friend... |
| 484 | 480 | TEXT_VOICEMAN_05002_004480_ZENOS | I know not what entertainment occupies you, but if you will not clear the way for me, then I shall seize the reins of fate once more. |
