Quest giver Ahtbyrm
in Lower La Noscea
Ahtbyrm admits he doubted you at first. He still does not like you, but he trusts you, and recommends you to Ghimthota
. It sickens him that some would betray Limsa Lominsa for a few coins after all it has suffered.
The warship Victory, a symbol of Limsa's rebirth, and the pirate plot to sabotage it; a coded missive leads on.
is considering recommending you for an important job involving drydock security. has asked Victory foreman Ahtbyrm to recommend an adventurer to assist the watch in learning more about a band of suspicious individuals who have recently made camp on the Gods' Grip. The foreman has recommended you. Hurry over to the aetheryte to receive your orders. believes the suspicious individuals in question to be pirates who are planning to sabotage the Victory. She wishes you to infiltrate their gang and see if you can learn anything of their intentions. Speak with C'nangho
stationed at the rear gate for details on the exact location of the pirates' camp. at once. resolves to increase patrols of the area. However, who could this “boy” of which the pirates speak be?Remember the 'boy' the pirates talk about. The journal leaves the question open. The very next quest, Victory in Peril (step 17), answers it.
The lines worth a second look, in the order you hear them, and what each one means.
Ye see, I's 'ad it up to me ears with yer type, roamin' the 'ills like they was yers to roam. It's gettin' to be that a man cannae enjoy a mug o' rum wivout some shite-breath outlander runnin' up askin' which is the way to the local levemete. Seven 'ells if I know! I'm a bloody pirate, godsdammit!
The pirate's angry speech makes fun of players. They are adventurers who bother every stranger in his hills for 'the way to the local levemete'. The pirate says: 'I'm a bloody pirate, godsdammit!'
Thal's balls! Once we 'ave me boy back, I'm puttin' this godsforsaken piss'ole of an island so far behind me, ain't no one'll remember I was ever 'ere. Come on, scrags. We's knives to sharpen.
The pirate's oath 'Thal's balls!' calls on Thal. Thal is one of the twin gods Nald and Thal. The two appear as one single god, Nald'thal.
The stone by the pirates' camp is the Mark of Nymeia. It is one of the Marks of the Twelve. These are carved stones, one for each god. Each glows when its god is at its strongest.
Remember the 'boy' the pirates talk about. The journal leaves the question open. The very next quest, Victory in Peril (step 17), answers it.
The title plays on 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?', a novel by Philip K. Dick. It is the book behind the film Blade Runner. The joke is English-only.
Who they are, and what they do in this quest.
Ahtbyrm, the Victory's foreman, is thinking of recommending you for an important security job at the Drydocks.
Ahtbyrm admits he doubted you at first. He still does not like you, but he trusts you, and recommends you to Ghimthota. It sickens him that some would betray Limsa Lominsa for a few coins after all it has suffered.
Ghimthota is head of the watch, the guards of the Moraby Drydocks. She believes pirates camping nearby may be planning an attack on the Victory.
Ghimthota has had her men watch you since you arrived, as with all newcomers, and found nothing wrong. She sends you to spy on the pirates. Hearing they want "me boy back", she wonders if the Victory was ever their target, and orders more patrols.
C'nangho is a guard at the rear gate of the Moraby Drydocks, who knows where the suspicious camp lies.
C'nangho bet with other guards on whom Ahtbyrm would recommend, put money on you, and won: tonight's dinner is salmon, not sardines. C'nangho points you southeast to the pirates' camp, near a stone holy to Nymeia, the Spinner.
The game was written in Japanese and rewritten, not just translated, for each language. Here is what the other versions say, next to the English.

your name. While I originally had doubts about your motives, you have repeatedly proven yourself an asset to Naldiq & Vymelli's. I still do not like you, but that does not mean I do not trust you.
この期待に応えられるのは、俺の知る中じゃ、お前しかいない。
‘Of everyone I know, you're the only one who can live up to these expectations.’
Ahtbyrm recommends you warmly. The English Ahtbyrm still dislikes you.
your name. While I originally had doubts about your motives, you have repeatedly proven yourself an asset to Naldiq & Vymelli's. I still do not like you, but that does not mean I do not trust you.
Comme je ne connais que toi qui correspondes à ce profil, je pense te recommander à elle.
‘Since you're the only one I know who fits that profile, I'm thinking of recommending you to her.’
English Ahtbyrm says he still dislikes you but trusts you; French says you are the only one he knows who fits.
Ghimthota, head of the watch here at the Drydocks, believes that pirates may be plotting an attack on the Victory, and she requires assistance investigating a group of unsavory individuals making camp nearby. I have recommended you for the task.
Ça ne m'étonnerait pas qu'il s'agisse de pirates opposés aux projets de l'Amirale Bloefhiswyn et obsédés par le bon vieux temps où ils pillaient et volaient à loisir...
‘It wouldn't surprise me if they were pirates opposed to the plans of Admiral Bloefhiswyn and obsessed with the good old days when they plundered and stole at will...’
Wir vermuten, dass es sich dabei um schändliche Piraten handelt, die sich Admiral Merlwyb widersetzen.
‘We suspect that they are disgraceful pirates who defy Admiral Merlwyb.’
おおかたメルウィブ提督に反抗する海賊だろうよ。
‘Most likely they are pirates defying Admiral Merlwyb.’
French: he guesses they oppose the Admiral and miss the plundering days; English: an attack on the Victory.
German: they are pirates defying Admiral Merlwyb; English: pirates plotting an attack on the Victory.
Japanese: they are pirates defying Admiral Merlwyb; English: pirates plotting an attack on the Victory.
Despite all Limsa Lominsa endured before, during, and following the Calamity, the fact that there are still those who would turn their backs on the city–state so that they might line their pockets with a few handfuls of coin... Just the thought of it sickens me.
まるで俺のオヤ……いや、こっちの話だ。
‘Just like my fath-... No, never mind.’
Ça me rappelle un peu mon patern... euh, non, je n'ai rien dit.
‘That reminds me a bit of my fath-... uh, no, forget I said anything.’
Ahtbyrm blurts the start of 'just like my old man' and cuts himself off. It hints that the pirate chief is his own father.
Ahtbyrm breaks off «paternel», slang for 'father': the same slip as in Japanese.
Ah, yes. I had a feeling you would be the one Ahtbyrm sent. Since you first arrived at the Moraby Drydocks, I have had my men watch you. Oh, there's no need to get angry. I make it a point to keep an eye on all those new to the area. It is simply protocol.
Il t'a peut-être expliqué, mais nous avons souvent affaire à des intrus par ici, et on vient justement de me signaler une bande de pirates suspects qui traînent près du chantier.
‘He may have explained it to you, but we often deal with intruders around here, and I've just been told of a band of suspicious pirates hanging around near the shipyard.’
すでに彼から聞いているだろうが、最近、不審者が多くてな。
‘You've probably heard from him already, but lately there have been a lot of suspicious people.’
English Ghimthota admits her men have watched you since you arrived; French says they often deal with intruders here.

C'est donc toi, l'aventurière/er dont Ahtbyrm me dit tant de bien ?
‘So you're the adventurer Ahtbyrm speaks so highly of to me?’
君が、アートビルムが誉めていた冒険者か。
‘So you are the adventurer Ahtbyrm was praising.’
French Ghimthota greets you as someone Ahtbyrm praises; English Ghimthota reveals she has had you watched.
Japanese Ghimthota greets you as the adventurer Ahtbyrm praised; English reveals she has had you watched.
And you'll be pleased to know that nothing...incriminating was found. You appear to be a model citizen. That, and the foreman seems to think somewhat highly of you...which I must admit is quite shocking. The man doesn't even trust his own mother.
C'est qu'il y a encore beaucoup de ces loups de mer qui tiennent tête au Maelstrom, et nous craignons que certains d'entre eux ne cherchent à saboter le Victoire avant qu'il ne soit terminé.
‘It's that there are still many of these sea dogs who stand up to the Maelstrom, and we fear some of them may try to sabotage the Victoire before it is finished.’
Man sollte es kaum für möglich halten, aber einige fehlgeleitete Piraten stellen noch immer die Autorität des Mahlstroms in Frage und zeigen dabei erschreckend hohe Gewaltbereitschaft.
‘One would hardly think it possible, but some misguided pirates still question the authority of the Maelstrom and show a frightening readiness for violence.’
黒渦団に反発する海賊は、いまだ多いからな……。
‘There are still many pirates who rebel against the Maelstrom...’
English says the watch found nothing incriminating on you; French says many sea dogs still defy the Maelstrom.
English says the watch found nothing incriminating on you; German says some pirates still defy the Maelstrom.
English says the watch found nothing incriminating on you; Japanese says many pirates still oppose the Maelstrom.
And you'll be pleased to know that nothing...incriminating was found. You appear to be a model citizen. That, and the foreman seems to think somewhat highly of you...which I must admit is quite shocking. The man doesn't even trust his own mother.
Es steht sogar zu befürchten, dass sie die Victory sabotieren wollen.
‘It is even to be feared that they want to sabotage the Victory.’
そんな輩が、新造船「ヴィクトリー号」を狙ってくる可能性があるのだ。
‘It's possible that such types will go after the new ship Victory.’
English jokes the foreman doesn't even trust his own mother; German fears pirates will sabotage the Victory.
English jokes the foreman doesn't even trust his own mother; Japanese fears pirates may target the Victory.
your name! Ha ha! I knew it! No more sardines for C'nangho. Tonight, I shall dine on the finest salmon on the peninsula! Why? Well, I had a little wager going with some of the other guards on who Ahtbyrm would recommend for the next job. My money was on you!
捜査のご協力、感謝する。
‘Thank you for your cooperation with the investigation.’
Japanese guard formally thanks you; English guard gloats about winning a bet on you.
I'm givin' ye to the count of nine to step back on that path, and carry yer 'venturin' arse back down to whatever rock it is ye crawled out from under.
On n'a pas l'droit de se bourrer la gueule où on veut...
‘Can't we get plastered wherever we like...?’
どこで酒盛りしようが、ワシらの勝手だ。
‘Wherever we have our drinking party is our own business.’
Quatsch mich nich' schräg von der Seite an, sonst könnt's passieren, dass du zufällig stolperst und die Klippe runterstürzt!
‘Don't go chatting me up from the side, or it could happen that you accidentally trip and fall down the cliff!’
English pirate gives you a count of nine to leave; French pirate asks if they can't get drunk wherever they like.
English pirate gives you a count of nine to leave; Japanese pirate says where they drink is their own business.
German pirate threatens you might "accidentally" fall off the cliff; English pirate gives you a count of nine.
Ye see, I's 'ad it up to me ears with yer type, roamin' the 'ills like they was yers to roam. It's gettin' to be that a man cannae enjoy a mug o' rum wivout some shite-breath outlander runnin' up askin' which is the way to the local levemete. Seven 'ells if I know! I'm a bloody pirate, godsdammit!
Cette chienne de Merlwyb nous casse déjà assez les noix à vouloir contrôler tous les naufrageurs, alors si on doit s'taper des olibrius dans ton genre même ici...
‘That bitch Merlwyb is already busting our chops trying to control all the wreckers, so if we have to put up with weirdos like you even here...’
Wreckers lure ships aground. The pirate chief rails at the Admiral for reining them in, where the English never names her.

Immer steckt ihr eure neugierigen Nasen in Angelegenheiten, die euch nichts angeh'n.
‘You lot are always sticking your nosy noses into matters that are none of your business.’
German pirate complains adventurers pry into others' business; English complains they ask the way to the levemete.
Thal's balls! Once we 'ave me boy back, I'm puttin' this godsforsaken piss'ole of an island so far behind me, ain't no one'll remember I was ever 'ere. Come on, scrags. We's knives to sharpen.
Fast hätten wir meinen Jungen da rausgeholt ... Alles war perfekt geplant ... aber jetzt müssen wir noch mal von vorn anfangen ...
‘We almost got my boy out... Everything was perfectly planned... but now we have to start all over again...’
Alles war perfekt geplant ... aber jetzt müssen wir noch mal von vorn anfangen ...
‘... ... ... We almost got my boy out of there ... Everything was perfectly planned ... but now we have to start all over again ...’
So the pirates already botched a rescue. In English the rescue is still ahead.
English pirate looks ahead to getting his boy back; German pirate says they nearly freed him but must start over.
Thal's balls! Once we 'ave me boy back, I'm puttin' this godsforsaken piss'ole of an island so far behind me, ain't no one'll remember I was ever 'ere. Come on, scrags. We's knives to sharpen.
On fête le plan infaillible qu'on a mis au point pour récupérer mon fiston, là.
‘We're celebrating the foolproof plan we worked out to get my boy back, see.’
……ようやく息子を奪い返す算段がついて、こっちは上機嫌だったってのに……。
‘...We'd finally worked out a plan to snatch my son back, and I was in a fine mood, and now...’
English pirate will leave the island forever once his boy is back; French pirate is celebrating a foolproof plan to get his son.

Hmpf, va m'falloir une autre bouteille pour me remettre de bonne humeur, tiens...
‘Hmph, I'm going to need another bottle to get back in a good mood, I tell you...’

English pirate calls his crew off to sharpen knives; French pirate needs another bottle to cheer up.
English pirate calls his crew off to sharpen knives; Japanese pirate goes to drink somewhere else.
What do we 'ave 'ere? A li'l lost lamb come lookin' for 'er/'is mummy? We's a nice fire goin'. Why not come and sit yer tender arse down by old One–Tooth? I'll keep ye all warm an' toasty, like. Heh heh heh.
Toi, si tu veux rentrer chez toi en un seul morceau, j'te conseille de déguerpir !
‘You, if you want to get home in one piece, I advise you to clear off!’
Wenn ich du wär, würd ich verdammt aufpassen.
‘If I were you, I'd be damn careful.’
痛い目見たくないなら、今すぐ立ち去りな！
‘If you don't want to get hurt, leave right now!’
Das hier ist eine gefährliche Gegend, weißt du?
‘This here is a dangerous area, you know?’
English pirate invites you to sit by his fire to keep you warm; French pirate warns you to clear off.

German pirate gives a veiled warning about a dangerous area; English pirate leeringly invites you closer.
Bugger off, ye unbloodied whelp. Ye reek of an old maid's teats, and it's makin' me wine taste more sour than it already is.
Heute sollte ein Festtag werden, aber nichts hat geklappt ... nichts!
‘Today was supposed to be a day of celebration, but nothing worked out ... nothing!’
English pirate says your smell sours his wine; German pirate laments that nothing went right today.
Bugger off, ye unbloodied whelp. Ye reek of an old maid's teats, and it's makin' me wine taste more sour than it already is.
せっかくの前祝いが、台無しだ。
‘Our precious celebration in advance is ruined.’
Japanese pirate says you spoiled their advance celebration; English pirate just insults your smell.
So the trespassers are indeed pirates, and they are indeed planning something. But what is this talk of getting “me boy back”?
Deiner Beschreibung nach gehören die Piraten, auf die du gestoßen bist, nicht zu uns.
‘From your description, the pirates you came across do not belong to us.’
English confirms the trespassers are pirates planning something; German says those pirates are not on their side.
Could it be that their target never was the Victory?
S'il s'agit de quelqu'un qui vit au chantier, je me demande qui ça peut bien être...
‘If it's someone who lives at the shipyard, I wonder who it can be...’
……いったい住人の誰が、海賊に狙われているのだろう。
‘...Just which of the residents is being targeted by the pirates, I wonder.’
French: she wonders which resident is meant; English: she wonders whether the Victory was ever the target.
Japanese: she wonders which resident the pirates are after; English: whether the Victory was ever the target.
Something is not right, and I won't sit by idly waiting for those pirates to make the first move. I shall order increased patrols immediately. Thank you again for your help, your name. It appears we were wise to put our trust in you.
Sollten sie es wagen, sich uns zu nähern, werden wir sie gebührend empfangen.
‘Should they dare to approach us, we will give them a fitting reception.’
German: she vows a "fitting reception" for the pirates; English: she orders more patrols.

Very well, then. I assume Ahtbyrm informed you of what your task would entail. The pirates we believe are conspiring to raid the Drydocks were last seen making camp near an ancient stone called the mark of the Spinner. I would have you approach the men, posing as a lost adventurer, and see if you cannot somehow learn of their intentions. C'nangho stationed at the rear gates can provide you with an exact location of the camp.
your name! Ha ha! I knew it! No more sardines for C'nangho. Tonight, I shall dine on the finest salmon on the peninsula! Why? Well, I had a little wager going with some of the other guards on who Ahtbyrm would recommend for the next job. My money was on you!
捜査のご協力、感謝する。
‘Thank you for your cooperation with the investigation.’
Japanese guard formally thanks you; English guard gloats about winning a bet on you.
Ah, the job. Yes, of course. If you follow the road past the gates to the southeast, you will eventually come to a barren cape with a single large stone half-buried in the cliff overlooking the sea. Followers of the Twelve say it's a holy place dedicated to Nymeia, the Spinner. I'd be surprised if the pirates camped up there were aware of that, though.

Bugger off, ye unbloodied whelp. Ye reek of an old maid's teats, and it's makin' me wine taste more sour than it already is.
Heute sollte ein Festtag werden, aber nichts hat geklappt ... nichts!
‘Today was supposed to be a day of celebration, but nothing worked out ... nothing!’
English pirate says your smell sours his wine; German pirate laments that nothing went right today.
せっかくの前祝いが、台無しだ。
‘Our precious celebration in advance is ruined.’
Japanese pirate says you spoiled their advance celebration; English pirate just insults your smell.
So the trespassers are indeed pirates, and they are indeed planning something. But what is this talk of getting “me boy back”?
Deiner Beschreibung nach gehören die Piraten, auf die du gestoßen bist, nicht zu uns.
‘From your description, the pirates you came across do not belong to us.’
English confirms the trespassers are pirates planning something; German says those pirates are not on their side.
S'il s'agit de quelqu'un qui vit au chantier, je me demande qui ça peut bien être...
‘If it's someone who lives at the shipyard, I wonder who it can be...’
Japanese……いったい住人の誰が、海賊に狙われているのだろう。
‘...Just which of the residents is being targeted by the pirates, I wonder.’
French: she wonders which resident is meant; English: she wonders whether the Victory was ever the target.
Japanese: she wonders which resident the pirates are after; English: whether the Victory was ever the target.
Something is not right, and I won't sit by idly waiting for those pirates to make the first move. I shall order increased patrols immediately. Thank you again for your help, your name. It appears we were wise to put our trust in you.
Sollten sie es wagen, sich uns zu nähern, werden wir sie gebührend empfangen.
‘Should they dare to approach us, we will give them a fitting reception.’
German: she vows a "fitting reception" for the pirates; English: she orders more patrols.
