Dialogue and Mail

Introduction

Upon speaking to Subira

Subira

It's good to see you as always, (Player). I hope I am not intruding.

Player

We're friends, aren't we?

Subira

"Friends"? ...I suppose that is what we are.

Player

I was hoping you'd stop by!

Subira

...You were? That makes me glad, somehow.

Player

I was in the middle of something.

Subira

I am sorry. I should have warned you ahead of time.

Player

Please, make yourself comfortable.

Subira

You are too kind. Thank you.

I wanted to apologize for departing so suddenly last time, after you returned with that letter from the lighthouse.

That day has been weighing on my mind for quite a while, and I think I'm finally ready to tell you about it.

That letter... There was a seal on it. The Order's seal, to be exact.

Player

Are you sure?

Subira

Positive. It was unmistakably the Order's. Our seals use a special ink produced only for our use.

Player

The Order is in cahoots with the Grimalkin cartel?

Player

Maybe the letter was planted there?

Subira

...That is not outside the realm of possibility.

But perhaps this is simply another one of the Order's tests.

The first one they gave me was when I was a child.

They sent me on a mission in the depths of the wilderness, with nothing but a Flow-powered flare at my disposal.

In the case of an emergency, I could fire it into the air and help would arrive.

Of course, I was a stubborn youth who believed I could complete the mission without sounding a distress call... and so I relied only on my own instincts.

There were many times I did not think I was going to make it out alive, yet I persevered through all the trials I faced.

...Before I knew it, I had hit my limit and took what I believed was my last breath. Even then, I did not call for help.

Player

Why didn't you?

Subira

Because I would have much rather died trying to complete my mission, than live and deal with my failure.

I lived anyway and when I awoke, the Order congratulated me for passing their test.

Player

What exactly WAS their test?

Subira

I... am not at liberty to disclose.

It was undoubtedly the most difficult situation I ever had to overcome, but in doing so, I was able to join the Order as I had always hoped and dreamed of.

Player

What a horrifying experience...

Subira

It was necessary for my development. That is what I believed at the time and still do.

Player

They wanted you to be willing to die for them.

Subira

...

Player

I wonder if I'd pass the test?

Subira

...You? I would never wish that experience upon you, ever.

As a child, I had hopes and dreams. I thought joining the Order would help me achieve them.

...

Ahem. Back to the matter at hand... the issue of the seal on the letter.

I would like you to return to the lighthouse to see if we can recover any additional clues there. Perhaps in that room in the basement.

I would go with you, but... I have something important I need to handle in the meantime.

As usual, do not hesitate to contact me if you run into any trouble.

...Thank you, (Player). Please be safe.

Progression

Upon speaking to Subira after learning the door is locked

Player

The door to the lighthouse basement is locked.

Subira

Is it now? That must mean someone must have used it recently, and that there is something in there that is not meant for our eyes.

I hope that does not mean they are onto us.

The note found in the lighthouse.

Note

I left the key at my favorite thinking spot!

Subira's hint

Player

I found this note on the lighthouse basement door.

Subira

This handwriting... It is quite difficult to make out. I assume that it reads "I left the key at my favorite thinking spot!"

Hm... I doubt the key is very far from the lighthouse, which means the location in question is undoubtedly within the lighthouse vicinity in Bahari Bay.

Where do people experience the most profound thoughts? Perhaps by the shore, at the top of the mountain, in the bath...

Upon speaking to villagers familiar with the area

Player

Know any good thinking spots in Bahari Bay?

Hassian

My grove, at night. Alone.

...There are a few quiet campsites in the area as well. The one near the statue garden comes to mind.

Hodari

No place like the deepest part of the mines to get your mind racin'.

Seen a few folks hangin' around that campsite by the statue garden, too.

Najuma

The beach is a nice place to clear your head...

This is kinda gross, but I've seen people spend hours in the outhouses out here too... I guess they're lost in their own thoughts when they're in there.

Tamala

Anywhere deep in the woods at night. Even better when the moon is bright and full.

The note found by the outhouse.

Note

It turns out that the outhouse isn't the best place to hide the key... I almost dropped it into that dark hole!

I moved the key to the place where I got bit and thought I would become a vampire!

Subira's hint

Player

I found this note at an outhouse in Bahari Bay.

Subira

At an outhouse? I certainly hope you sanitized this before handing it to me.

Let us see what it says... "I moved the key to the place where I got bit and thought I would become a vampire!"

Perhaps the key is someplace in Bahari Bay where one can be bit by a vampiric creature. Likely one with sharp appendages of some sort...

Upon speaking to villagers knowledgeable about vampires

Player

Know where I can find a vampiric creature?

Elouisa

Why, yes! Yes I do! There is one that stalks the tailor shop throughout the day...

Jel

There is one delightful little creature that comes to mind, and that is the vampire crab.

You can find those adorable critters at the flooded fortress in Bahari Bay. I try to visit there from time to time when I need a design inspiration.

The note by the Flooded Fortress.

Note

The flooded fortress is terrifying at night... And the crabs tried to steal my key, so I moved it again!

This time, I left the key by my favorite lunch spot by the flowery waterfall!

Subira's hint

Player

I found this note at the flooded fortress in Bahari Bay...

Subira

Oh, at the flooded fortress? Interesting.

"I left the key by my favorite lunch spot by the flowery waterfall!"

I can think of a few waterfalls in the area. There are a few north of Kilima Village. Perhaps you can try searching there.

Upon speaking to Kenli.

Kenli

H-H-HELP!!!!!!!!!! G-G-G-GHOST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Player

Ghost?! Where?!

Player

Wow, rude.

Player

BOO!

Player

I's [sic] just me...

Kenli

GOOD HEAVENS, IT'S TALKING!!! AAAAAAAAAAH!!!

(Kenli's eyes roll to the back of his head and he slumps over.)

Player

Are you okay?

Player

Stay with me, Kenli!

Kenli

I'm... fine...

...Huh? (Player)? W-What are you doing here? And what happened to the g-g-ghost?!

Player

Don't worry, it's gone.

Kenli

It is? Oh, thank the Dragon!

I was this close to passing through the Veil and reuniting with my dear grandmother. May her beautiful soul rest in peace!

Player

I sent it back to where it came from!

Kenli

Oh, good! I didn't know you were capable of such a thing, (Player). You truly are a lifesaver!

Player

You're talking to it right now...

Kenli

EEP!!! Get away, get away, get away!!!

...

Wait a minute... You look very much alive. Were you teasing me, (Player)?

Well you certainly succeeded! You had me fooled for a moment there!

Player

Ghosts aren't real.

Kenli

They are! Why, there was one in the closet of my childhood bedroom!

Now that I think about it, it did bear some resemblance to portraits of my great-great-great grandfather...

What brings you here, anyway?

Player

I could ask you the same thing.

Player

Why don't you explain yourself first?

Kenli

Me? Well, as part of my mayoral duties, I'm dropping something off. This package right here, to be more exact.

Goodness, is it heavy! After carrying it such a long distance, my arms are starting to feel like overcooked noodles!

Player

Hand over that package. Now.

Kenli

...Oh, how kind of you to offer to carry it for me! Here you go!

Player

You poor thing! I'll carry it.

Kenli

...Oh, how kind of you to offer to carry it for me! Here you go!

Player

Mm, noodles.

Kenli

My stomach is growling just thinking about them! Oh, a hot bowl of Sernuk noodle soup sounds delightful right now.

I'm so hungry that my arms are giving out! Might you hold onto this package for me?

Player

Oh, sure.

Player

Thought you'd never ask!

Player

I can help you with that.

Kenli

...Oh, how kind of you to offer to carry it for me! Here you go!

Kenli

(Kenli happily hands you the suspicious package.)

I would love to stay and chat, but it's approaching the time for my daily nap. Farewell, (Player)!

Conclusion

Upon returning to Subira.

Subira

You've returned. I assume with good news?

Player

I caught Kenli dropping this off at the lighthouse.

Subira

Kenli? As in, mayor of Kilima Village?

Player

The one and only.

Player

Plot twist!

Subira

This most certainly comes as a surprise. How in the world did he find himself tangled up in this mess?

Player

Someone must've tricked him!

Subira

I strongly believe that to be the case. He doesn't strike me as someone who would violate the law voluntarily.

Player

Are you going to arrest him?

Subira

...If my hunch is correct that he was deceived or manipulated into aiding with these illegal transactions, then no. I will not arrest him.

Player

He's obviously being blackmailed.

Subira

Either that, or he was simply deceived into aiding with these illegal transactions.

Player

Don't know, don't really care.

Subira

...Well, I can't fault you for feeling that way. I strongly believe he is being manipulated into aiding these illegal transactions.

While you were intercepting this dropoff, I was conducting an investigation of my own... and made a disturbing connection.

I believe that the Order is supplying the Grimalkin cartel with flow stones in exchange for more advanced weapons and magic... items only we, the Order, have clearance for.

I know this because it happens that the timing of these packages we've been intercepting here align with trades the Order has been completing with Umbraa.

Player

Umbraa?

Player

Trades?

Subira

The state of Umbraa is an independent trading partner with the Palian Republic. It is also the leading manufacturer of advanced Flow technology.

The Order has maintained positive relations with Umbraa for many years now.

Who would have thought one of our own was making illicit deals with the Grimalkin cartel on the side...

Player

This must be difficult for you.

Subira

I am fine. Just... disappointed, is all. I have never doubted my peers, much less my superiors. But now...

Player

You never suspected a thing?

Subira

Perhaps it is naive of me, but I have never doubted my peers, much less my superiors. But now...

Ahem. It is best that we leave it at that for now. I fear the repurcussions [sic] any careless words or actions will have on both you and me.

...Shall we open the contents of this parcel together?

Player

Won't you get in trouble?

Subira

The Order has given me full authority over this investigation.

There is no one I would trust more than you to look this over with.

Player

I've been waiting for this!

Subira

There is no one I would trust more than you to look this over with.

(Subira carefully opens the package.)

...A set of Palcat toys. They are heavier than they look. I doubt they are as they appear.

To summarize what we have learned up until this point... The cartel's supplier is in fact the Order, and they somehow roped Kenli into making deliveries for them at the lighthouse.

Meanwhile, Zeki is being manipulated by the cartel on the side. At some point, he received a package containing a nightlight from an unknown source.

That nightlight made it into the Order's sights, and so they sent me out to retrieve it.

My hunch is that it is a weapon of some sort, perhaps something to use against the Grimalkin cartel... perhaps to pierce through one of their strongest weapons -- their illusions.

A perfect weapon to leverage against the cartel, should the need arise.

If the cartel were to become aware that such a technology exists, and that both Zeki and the Order are interested in it, that could spell trouble...

*sigh* Never would I have imagined things would end up like this. So many questions still let unanswered...

As unsettling as the results of this investigation are, the findings have been enlightening to say the very least.

I never would have gotten this far without you. I'm used to working alone, but you have made a better partner than I could have anticipated, (Player).

The Order- no, I- appreciate your help. Thank you for everything.

Post-Quest

Letter from Subira

Dear (Player),
I hope you have been well.

I examined the Palcat toys and discovered that they were concealing Flow stones. This confirms my suspicions that the Order is supplying the cartel with them, disguised as toys and other innocuous objects.

If I may be honest, I have been restless these past few nights... But with all of these doubts swimming in my mind, the one person I feel like I can trust is you.

Would you be willing to hold onto the nightlight for me? It is safer with you than anyone else.

I'll be in touch with any further developments. Should you run into any trouble whatsoever, you know who to call.

Be safe, always.

- Subira
