'''Alisaie''': We are, General. | |||

'''M'naago''': At your service, sir! And may I say what an absolute honor it is to stand before the Bull of Ala Mhigo! | |||
'''Raubahn''': These are not the bloodsands, girl. You and I are but soldiers on a battlefield fighting for the same cause. | |||
'''M'naago''': A-As you say, General! | |||
'''M'naago''': Ahem. On behalf of Commander Kemp of the Ala Mhigan Resistance, I present to you our formal response. | |||
'''Raubahn''': ...Good. I am glad we have reached an accord. Though I was not aware you had suffered such losses. | |||
'''M'naago''': Aye... Some of our finest took part in the Griffin's doomed assault, and we've been struggling to find new recruits ever since. | |||
'''M'naago''': The massacre has cast a pall over the whole Resistance, and many who might once have been open to joining us have since thought better of it. | |||
'''Alisaie''': After all of the Griffin's false promises, one can hardly blame them. They have no desire to give their lives for a lost cause. | |||
'''Raubahn''': We will not lie to them. This is war, and lives will be lost. Yet what we offer is not the fever dream of a madman, but true hope. | |||
'''Pipin''': The people need proof of this, Father. Let us show it to them. | |||
'''Pipin''': I say we stand shoulder to shoulder with our new allies and engage the Garleans in open warfare. The Resistance must demonstrate that they can hold their own against imperial regulars, and with our assistance, I am confident they can do just that. | |||
'''Pipin''': If we can achieve even a token victory, I believe it will serve to rekindle the hope of the Ala Mhigan people, and inspire them to rise up once more. | |||
'''M'naago''': Aye, aye... Once word spread that we'd won a battle against the Garleans, I wager we'd have new recruits flocking to us from malms around. The question is, when and where do we strike? | |||
'''Pipin''': I'm glad you asked. I have a plan... | |||
'''Pipin''': Our scouts recently informed me of an interesting development at Castellum Velodyna. Namely, the arrival of a shipment rumored to have come from the research and development facilities near the capital, containing prototype magitek armor. | |||
'''Pipin''': It is our assessment that this armor is to be field-tested here, most likely against Alliance forces. Mayhap before the day is out. | |||
'''M'naago''': Damn it all, more magitek weapons? That's the last thing we need! | |||
'''Pipin''': Your concern is not unwarranted, but we needn't despair just yet. The shipment is thought to have contained a single heavy unit and one or two support units. With a well-laid ambush, we are confident we can destroy them all, hindering their development and delaying future deployment. | |||
'''Raubahn''': And should we carry this out as a joint endeavor with the Resistance, they will have their rallying cry. | |||
'''M'naago''': It would mean dropping all pretense about the Alliance not wanting to go to war with the Empire...but you'd have a lot more folk willing to stand up and fight if they knew they weren't alone. And you were going to have to do it eventually anyway. | |||
'''Pipin''': Exactly. And so what I propose is simple: we harry their patrols to bait them into bringing their prototype weapons to East End, where our Resistance allies will take them from behind. | |||
'''Raubahn''': Simple indeed, and well within our capabilities. I see no reason to delay, especially if a field test is imminent. What say you? | |||
'''M'naago''': Assuming the vice marshal's intelligence is accurate, I agree with his assessment and fully support his plan. I shall notify my comrades at once. | |||
'''Pipin''': Understood. I shall have one of my men bring you the details of the plan anon. | |||
'''Alisaie''': And we for our part will be fighting with the Alliance, yes? I somehow doubt you were intending to sit this one out. | |||

Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
M'naago: Right. I believe we've rested long enough. We should resume our journey before someone notices their missing patrol.
(Optional) Alisaie: More soldiers? I didn't think they'd come this far west, but better to be safe than sorry...
Following M'naago
M'naago: ...We're clear. Only Alliance patrols ahead. M'naago: You said the forces at Castrum Oriens were under the command of Flame General Raubahn Aldynn, did you not? M'naago: By Rhalgr! The Bull of Ala Mhigo himself! I never dreamed I'd have a chance to meet the legend...
(Optional) Pipin: I returned from a survey of the Wall but a moment ago. We have yet to recover Papalymo's personal effects, I am sorry to say, but you may rest assured that we will notify you and yours the moment we do.
Speaking with Raubahn (Cutscene)
Raubahn: It is good to see you again, my friends. I hope you are here to tell me you have made contact with the Resistance?
Alisaie: We are, General. Alisaie: Allow me to introduce M'naago, of Rhalgr's Reach.
M'naago: At your service, sir! And may I say what an absolute honor it is to stand before the Bull of Ala Mhigo!
Raubahn: These are not the bloodsands, girl. You and I are but soldiers on a battlefield fighting for the same cause.
M'naago: A-As you say, General! M'naago: Ahem. On behalf of Commander Kemp of the Ala Mhigan Resistance, I present to you our formal response.
Raubahn: ...Good. I am glad we have reached an accord. Though I was not aware you had suffered such losses.

Raubahn: We will not lie to them. This is war, and lives will be lost. Yet what we offer is not the fever dream of a madman, but true hope.
Pipin: The people need proof of this, Father. Let us show it to them. Pipin: I say we stand shoulder to shoulder with our new allies and engage the Garleans in open warfare.

Pipin: If we can achieve even a token victory, I believe it will serve to rekindle the hope of the Ala Mhigan people, and inspire them to rise up once more.
