Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Gundobald: Would that we had more information to offer, but what Wilred told you is the extent of our knowledge of the masked stranger. 
Gundobald: Left unchecked, that man will bring about great pain and suffering. I pray that you'll find and put a swift end to the creature─for the sake of the young ones who died by his poisoned words.

Optional Dialogue

Gundobald: How fare your travels, adventurer? Though it barely begins to repay the debt you are owed, you will always find a safe haven here.
Gundobald: And you need not be concerned with young Wilred. The pain and regret he feels is a common burden amongst Ala Mhigans, and one we willingly bear—it reminds us to always strive for a better life.

Reporting to Minfilia (Cutscene)

Minfilia: Welcome back, [First name]! I'm reliably informed the investigation took you to Quarrymill and Little Ala Mhigo. 
Minfilia: So tell me, were you able to learn aught of Lahabrea? 

Minfilia: Planted the knowledge of summoning in impressionable young minds, you say? Precisely the kind of deception the Ascians would employ... 
Minfilia: While many of the ills that ail the land can be attributed to the Calamity, some are being brought about by a malign will. 
Minfilia: We must needs delve deeper into this, while things remain quiet on the primal front. 

Tataru: All work and no play makes Minfilia a dull Scion. 

Minfilia: Hm? Did you say something? 

Tataru: N-Nothing, my lady! 

Minfilia: Ahem. Mayhap we ought to rest awhile before speaking further of the investigation.
