1	0	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_SEQ_00	The secretariat's resigned expression speaks volumes.
2	1	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_SEQ_01	You arrive at Maelstrom Command only to be greeted by a linkpearl call from Wheiskaet. The Company's first mate would have you join him in Costa del Sol to discuss a possible new development in your mission to take down the blasphemy. The secretariat states that she will inform the Admiral of your absence, and so you depart for eastern La Noscea.
3	2	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_SEQ_02	At Costa del Sol, Wheiskaet explains that while he and his companions are at a loss as to how to effectively counter the blasphemy's devastating attack, he knows of someone who might fare better: a former member of the Company known for his keen eye in assessing the enemy. Sharing with you the signal used in days past to summon the man, Wheiskaet sends you to Bloodshore in the hopes that his erstwhile companion will show.
4	3	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_SEQ_03	Lorens, the former Company sharpshooter spoken so highly of by Wheiskaet, reveals himself in response to your whistling. Very much a lone wolf, he nevertheless agrees to join your cause out of curiosity and concern for his old friends. You get the impression that he has a somewhat complex relationship with Merlwyb as well, and he invites you to join him near Hidden Falls so that he might elaborate.
5	4	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_SEQ_04	As you look out over the sea together, Lorens shares with you a tragic episode from his and Merlwyb's past: the tale of how she was forced to kill her own father, the famed pirate captain Bloefhis. In fighting to save his daughter and her companions from Leviathan's wrath, the captain and a good number of his crew were tempered by the primal. The nature of their condition did not become apparent until they vanished, only to reappear as the Serpent Reavers a while later, a band of pirates wholly devoted to the Lord of the Whorl. Merlwyb subsequently tracked her father to an isle where she found him, a broken shell of the man he once was, and defeated him in a duel to the death as Lorens stood witness. The reckless and aggressive manner in which Merlwyb threw herself against her father's minions left an enduring impression on Lorens, who vowed to henceforth support her from a distance as he had in the chaos of that day. With a promise to assist you in a similar fashion when it comes time to confront the blasphemy, he takes his leave and returns to the shadows.
6	5	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_SEQ_05	Wheiskaet is heartened by the news that Lorens will be joining you, believing him the trump card you and the Company of Heroes need to turn the tide of battle when next you face your formidable foe. Confident that you have taken great strides towards achieving success in your mission, you set out to return to Limsa and report the good news.
7	6	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_SEQ_06	Back at Maelstrom Command, the secretariat is pleased to hear that Lorens─whose name she seems to vaguely recall─will be joining the fight against the blasphemy. Thanking you for your efforts, she encourages you to rest up until the beast is found. The hour of your final confrontation is nigh. ※The next role quest will be available from the Maelstrom secretariat upon reaching level 90 in any melee DPS class.

51	50	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_003	(-Wheiskaet-)Can you hear me, Commander? This is Wheiskaet.
52	51	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_004	(-Wheiskaet-)I have an idea how we might take down the blasphemy. Meet me in Costa del Sol as soon as you are able.
53	52	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LIMSASECRETARY_000_005	Well, that sounds promising! I'll tell the Admiral you'll be away for a bit. Godsspeed, and stay safe out there.
54	53	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_050	Apologies for having you come all this way, Player.
55	54	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_051	Ever since our encounter with the blasphemy, I've been racking my brain to find a way of dealing with its debilitating attack. Sadly, I've come up empty-handed─and my companions fare no better.
56	55	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_052	That's when I started thinking: if only our finest was still with us. He always had a knack for noticing what the rest of us missed.
57	56	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_053	His eyes were so sharp, he could spot a foe's weakness with a single glance.
58	57	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_054	It's thanks to him that we were able to slay both Leviathan and Titan...and live to tell the tale.
59	58	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_055	The rub is...well, he's a bit eccentric. And yes, I know you could say that about all the Company members.
60	59	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_056	But unlike us, he prefers to work from the shadows. Truth be told, I've not seen him since the day we disbanded.
61	60	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_057	I doubt he'd help his old comrades, even if we asked. But an *order* from the Company's acting commander would be a different story.
62	61	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_058	In our heyday, we had a way of reaching him. Whistle at the forked road, and sooner or later, he'd show himself.
63	62	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_100_058	Didn't matter when─winter or summer, in broad sunlight or the dead of night. He'd always be *watching* from afar. With any luck, he still is now...
64	63	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_200_058	...But I've rambled on enough. Go on, now. This may be our best─and only─hope.
65	64	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LIMSASECRETARY_000_060	Unfortunately, the blasphemy continues to elude us. Should there be any change, we will inform you posthaste.
66	65	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_100	(-???-)Here I was, enjoyin' my retirement... <sigh> Why'd you have to go and bloody whistle...
67	66	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_101	Call me Lorens. I'm the Company's resident sharpshooter...'least I was in my day. No need to tell me who *you* are. I've been watchin' you for quite some time.
68	67	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_102	Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just...*curious* how my former mates are farin'.
69	68	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_103	Not as curious as folks were about me, though. First Wheiskaet, then ol' Mistbeard himself. Ha! As if those codgers could ever catch me!
70	69	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_104	And now Eorzea's storied 'ero summons me forth. No need to say why─yer going to ask me to help you take down the blasphemy.

72	71	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_A1_000_001	I'm not asking you. I'm *ordering* you.

75	74	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_107	...Heh. Never could refuse whenever someone trotted out those 'ackneyed words.
76	75	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_108	So tell me, *Actin' Commander*, what specific duty would ye task me with? I trust ye *do* have a plan...
77	76	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_109	So ye need a way to neutralize the beast's most potent attack.
78	77	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_110	I can tell ye like getting up close and personal with yer foes. So ye'll be needin' support from a distance. Who do ye suppose might be best suited to that role?
79	78	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_Q2_000_000	What will you say?
80	79	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_A2_000_001	Merlwyb and her twin muskets can handle the job.
81	80	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_A2_000_002	You, of course.
82	81	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_112	A reasonable answer...but wrong.
83	82	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_113	Damn right. My eyes are among the keenest in the realm, as ye've doubtless heard from Wheiskaet.
84	83	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_114	In pure marksmanship, none in Limsa are the Admiral's equal.
85	84	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_115	Yet Merlwyb is ill-suited for a supportin' role. Not for lack of skill, o' course, but rather... Come to think of it, there's something ye should know. Follow me.
86	85	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_120	Remember the signal─whistle at the forked road. And let's just hope our man deigns to show.
87	86	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_100_150	Quite the view, wouldn't ye say? I often come here to admire the sea.
88	87	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_200_150	If ye would, indulge me for a moment and I'll spin ye a yarn. Just try not to doze off.
89	88	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_150	Back in piracy's golden age, the League o' Lost Bastards ruled the Rhotano. I was one of them, as was Merlwyb. We were led by none other than her old man, Bloefhis Bloefhisyn, the most feared captain on the 'igh seas.
90	89	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_151	Feared by his enemies, that is. Stern and unforgivin' though he was, he took me under his wing and showed me the ropes.
91	90	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_152	Aye, he was like a father to me. To us all. Till that fateful day...
92	91	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_153	Was in the year 1562 of the Sixth Astral Era. Lominsan merchantmen were strugglin' with nigh-constant raids by the Sahagin.
93	92	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_154	'Round this time Bloefhis had yielded the day-to-day leadership of the Bastards to Merlwyb, his pride and joy. She was still growin' into the role, though, and everyone knew the old captain was still callin' the shots.
94	93	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_155	Ol' Bloefhis had a noble streak, he did. Ordered us to defend the traders from the fishbacks. Merlwyb led the effort, and we fought day after day to keep the seas safe.
95	94	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_156	The fightin' was fierce, but we always came out of it in one piece...until we didn't. Until after a skirmish, a Sahagin survivor, with his last breath, summoned forth the Lord o' the Whorl.
96	95	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_157	The great beast toppled our masts and cracked the keel like an egg. We clambered aboard the merchantman as our own ship sank. Naught to do but wait for the end. But then comes Bloefhis and his bleedin' flotilla out of nowhere to pull us out o' the fire. And he did.
97	96	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_158	But the League of Lost Bastards would never be the same again. For even though we'd escaped with our lives, we soon discovered that Captain Bloefhis, our iron-willed, unwaverin' leader, had fallen under Leviathan's thrall.
98	97	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_159	'Course, in those days, we didn't know much about drownin' or temperin'. Didn't know what to make of our captain as he grew more 'aggard by the day, his words devolvin' into crazed ramblin'. Then, one day, he vanishes...takin' off with 'alf of our men.
99	98	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_160	Not long after, a band of pirates callin' themselves the Serpent Reavers began takin' prizes in the Indigo Deep alongside the Sahagin. At their helm was none other than Captain Bloefhis, who'd cast his lot with the fishbacks.
100	99	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_161	Merlwyb knew what had to be done─and to her credit, she didn't shirk from the deed. She acted quickly, sneakin' off under cover o' night with a skeleton crew without so much as tellin' me. 'Course, that didn't stop me from stowin' myself in the cargo hold and joinin' her on the voyage.
101	100	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_162	She was none too 'appy to see me at first─wanted to leave me out of it, she said. But seein' as I made myself known when she was strugglin' to fend off a horde o' Reavers and fishbacks, it wasn't hard to win her over. Her twin muskets fellin' one after the next─as my sharpshootin' kept her safe from afar─we cut a path to the center of the isle.
102	101	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_163	It was there we found Bloefhis─or rather the miserable wretch he'd been reduced to. All bones, with skin shriveled and a tangled mat o' white hair, eyes bulging from his 'ead like a fish as he prayed to the Lord o' the Whorl...
103	102	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_164	Merlwyb challenged him to a duel, and a dim memory must have flickered in his drowned mind, for he accepted. And so, with only me there to witness it, Merlwyb ended her father's life.
104	103	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_165	The League o' Lost Bastards would've lived up to its name if it weren't for Merlwyb. She assumed full command and restored us to our former glory. Not long after, she triumphed in the Trident and was named Chief Admiral of Limsa Lominsa.
105	104	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_166	I often think back upon that day. Seein' her charge into battle, muskets blazin'... Might seem reckless to some, but that's how Captain Bloefhis taught her, and she knows no other way.
106	105	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_167	That's why I made it my job to support her from the shadows─and it's a role in which I'll 'appily serve again. I owe that much to her old man.
107	106	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_168	My only doubt was whether *you*, my friend, were worthy o' commandin' me. But watchin' ye from afar has answered that question.
108	107	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_LORENS_000_169	Aye, tell Wheiskaet and the rest o' my no-good companions that Lorens stands with them.
109	108	TEXT_AKTKBA341_04118_WHEISKAET_000_170	Even during his days in the Company, Lorens would often go missing.
