Main story #24Level 15
Quest giver Baderon
in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks
He says people are jumpy since the Sahagin's pirate allies paid a visit. He teases Commodore Reyner
. When you report the Sahagin hideout, he is shocked, thanks you on behalf of Limsa, and offers a new job from the sister guild in Gridania.
The envoy's tour takes you beyond Limsa: three dungeon quests, at Sastasha, in Gridania and in Ul'dah.
, the proprietor of the Drowning Wench, has need of a capable adventurer. and Commodore Reyner have requested your assistance with an investigation. A strange ship has been sighted off the coast of Aleport, and the subsequent appearance of a dangerous-looking group of men at the Sastasha Seagrot has the Yellowjackets greatly concerned. Speak with V'mellpa
at the ferry docks on the lower decks, and receive directions to the location of the caves. has suggested that you pay a visit to the Hall of the Novice before continuing your journey to Sastasha. Make your way to the Adventurers' Guild building located north of Aleport, and speak with the seasoned adventurer. at the Drowning Wench. expresses his satisfaction with your work, and mentions another task which might be of interest to you. It seems the Adventurers' Guild in Gridania wishes to employ the services of a seasoned adventurer. Prepare your gear, then speak with Baderon when you are ready to embark on the next stage of your journey.Pirate captain Madison comes back as a boss of Sastasha (Hard). This is a level 50 dungeon added in patch 2.4. Karlabos and the Kraken are bosses there too.
The lines worth a second look, in the order you hear them, and what each one means.
Their search revealed little, save that a family of coeurls had taken up residence in the caves. Nothing to concern us, in short.
Reyner talks about a 'family of coeurls'. In Sastasha you really do meet a coeurl. It is Chopper
, a level 15 beastkin and one of the dungeon's bosses.
Ye've only ever been as useful as the contents o' yer pockets─the gods know ye can barely 'eal a scratch!
At the optional Hall of the Novice, watch Avere make fun of Edda
's healing. The story of this arguing party goes on at steps 26 and 28. It also goes on past the end of this chart.
Denn the Orcatoothed talks about the 'Lord of the Whorl'. This is Leviathan
, the Sahagin's primal god. The Serpent Reavers are sworn to this god, as Merlwyb
explained in step 21.
Rumor says that about fifty years ago, the pirate king Mistbeard
drove the Sahagin out of these caves. The rumor also says Mistbeard then built docks, crew quarters and a tavern.
Many tales say that the Seagrot is a den of deadly coeurls. But it has become clear that the tales were a trick. The Serpent Reavers used them to keep people away.
Pirate captain Madison comes back as a boss of Sastasha (Hard). This is a level 50 dungeon added in patch 2.4. Karlabos and the Kraken are bosses there too.
Before patch 3.2 added the Hall of the Novice, V'mellpa had different lines in this quest. Her lines were changed to fit the new stop.
Who they are, and what they do in this quest.
Baderon, who runs the Drowning Wench, needs a trustworthy adventurer to find out who is sneaking in and out of the Sastasha Seagrot.
He says people are jumpy since the Sahagin's pirate allies paid a visit. He teases Commodore Reyner. When you report the Sahagin hideout, he is shocked, thanks you on behalf of Limsa, and offers a new job from the sister guild in Gridania.
This Yellowjacket scout keeps watch at the mouth of the Sastasha Seagrot and is tired of waiting.
This scout says a ship was seen near the Isles of Umbra, and rough men near the cave. He fears they are Serpent Reavers, pirates who serve the Sahagin, marked by blue face tattoos. People still remember the kidnappings. He asks you to find out.
Commodore Reyner, chief of the Yellowjackets, comes to the Drowning Wench with news for the investigation.
He reports a strange ship seen near the Isles of Umbra. His patrol found only a family of coeurls (wild beasts) in Sastasha, but he wants it searched again. With the Sahagin testing his defenses daily, he cannot spare men, so he asks you.
V'mellpa works at the ferry docks on the lower decks. Commodore Reyner sends you to her for directions.
She tells you to take a ferry to Aleport, then visit the Hall of the Novice, where the Adventurers' Guild trains newcomers, before entering Sastasha. She warns you to expect pirates. A chart note says her lines changed when the Hall was added.
This seasoned adventurer works at the Hall of the Novice, north of Aleport, and has heard you are going to Sastasha.
This adventurer warns that the cave's dwellers are many and bloodthirsty, so going alone is foolish. You need companions and group-combat training. The Smith there sets the training, and the Yellowjacket scout at the cave has your orders.
Liavinne is a member of a new adventuring party, waiting at the Hall of the Novice.
Liavinne laughs at Edda for being late, saying Edda would lose a footrace to a tree slug.
Paiyo Reiyo is a member of the same new party, on its very first outing.
Paiyo Reiyo thinks searching the Sastasha caves is easy, just turning over a few rocks. To Paiyo Reiyo, this first job from the Adventurers' Guild looks like a simple road to fame and fortune.
Edda is the healer of a new adventuring party at the Hall of the Novice, sent out to buy supplies.
Edda comes back late with only two potions, shocked at how much they cost. Avere scolds Edda for being slow and for barely healing a scratch. Edda apologizes, saying "I came as fast as I could!"
Isildaure is an old adventurer resting outside Sastasha.
He has adventured for more seasons than he can count and is still amazed by the realm's beauty. He says a thirst for the unknown, not riches or fame, drives adventurers. Alianne
, who calls him Grandfather, travels with him.
Alianne is a traveler resting with an old adventurer outside Sastasha.
Alianne calls Isildaure Grandfather and says they go wherever the wind takes them, for the joy of freedom. The years are wearing on him, Alianne notes, but only death could end his hunger for adventure.
Dolorous Bear is an adventurer at the Drowning Wench, asking Baderon about the Sastasha job.
Dolorous Bear learns you already did the job and admits the party waited too long. Their goal: heroic deeds sung in every alehouse in Eorzea. Dolorous Bear urges you to have a goal too, calling goals "arms and armor for the spirit."
E'manafa is a member of Dolorous Bear's party at the Drowning Wench.
When the Sastasha job is already taken, E'manafa stays calm and tells the group it does not matter, since the wheel turns.
Kikina is a member of Dolorous Bear's party at the Drowning Wench.
Kikina cheers on Dolorous Bear as "great leader" and promises not a wink of sleep until they reach their goal.
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.
| Japanese | サスタシャに挑む者 ‘Those Who Take On Sastasha’ |
|---|---|
| French | Les tréfonds de Sastasha ‘The Depths of Sastasha’ |
| German | Das Geheimnis der Sastasha-Höhle ‘The Secret of the Sastasha Cave’ |
Word 'as it some suspicious-lookin' buggers 'ave been sneakin' in an' out o' the Sastasha Seagrot, an' I need a trustworthy sort to 'ead up north of Aleport an' find out who they are an' what they're up to.
Die Gelbjacken sind bereits alarmiert, aber ihr Befehlshaber, Kommandant Reyner, hat die Abenteurergilde um Unterstützung gebeten.
‘The Yellowjackets are already on alert, but their commander, Commander Reyner, has asked the Adventurers' Guild for support.’
English: the speaker needs a trustworthy sort to go north; German: Commander Reyner asked the Adventurers' Guild for help.
But since that nasty business over in Swiftperch, folk've been a bit uneasy. Well, I say “a bit”... 'Tis all they can do not to soil 'emselves every time the bloody floorboards creak.
Seit dem blutigen Kampf an der Tölpelturm-Siedlung, den du glücklicherweise zum Guten gewendet hast, sind die Leute ziemlich nervös.
‘Since the bloody battle at the Booby Tower Settlement, which you fortunately turned for the better, people have been rather nervous.’
English names it Swiftperch; the German name means Booby Tower Settlement (Tölpel: a seabird, also an oaf).
Well, well, if it ain't the chief Yellowjacket 'imself. To what do I owe this rare honor, Commodore Reyner? Come to make sure me patrons are behavin'─or just thirsty?
Ah, Capitaine Hansred !
‘Ah, Captain Hansred!’
いよう、レイナー・ハンスレッド殿。
‘Hey there, Master Reyner Hansred.’
Unlike the English, the French gives the Yellowjackets' chief a surname. Baderon uses it.
Japanese gives his full name, Reyner Hansred, without the rank; English says Commodore Reyner.
Over the course of the past moon, there have been several sightings of an unfamiliar vessel off the coast of Aleport, in the vicinity of the Isles of Umbra.
最近、エールポートの近海「幻影諸島」の周辺で、不審船が目撃されている。
‘Lately a suspicious ship has been sighted around the Phantom Isles, in the waters off Aleport.’
The English umbra means shadow.
Over the course of the past moon, there have been several sightings of an unfamiliar vessel off the coast of Aleport, in the vicinity of the Isles of Umbra.
On nous a rapporté que des intrus ont été aperçus dans les environs de Port-aux-Ales.
‘We have been told that intruders have been spotted around Aleport.’
English reports sightings of an unfamiliar vessel; French reports intruders spotted near Aleport.
This information came to my attention no more than a few weeks after a squad of my own soldiers had completed a routine patrol of the region, the Sastasha Seagrot included.
Es ist noch gar nicht lange her, dass ich eine Patrouille zur Höhle geschickt habe, um nach Verstecken der Sahagin suchen zu lassen.
‘It's not long at all since I sent a patrol to the cave to search for Sahagin hideouts.’
実は先日、その調査も兼ね、リムサ・ロミンサの警備隊「イエロージャケット」が、この洞窟を調査したばかりなのだ。
‘In fact, just the other day, partly as that very investigation, Limsa Lominsa's guard, the Yellowjackets, surveyed this cave.’
English calls it a routine patrol of the region; German says the patrol went looking for Sahagin hideouts.
English calls it a routine patrol before the news came; Japanese says the survey also served that investigation.
Their search revealed little, save that a family of coeurls had taken up residence in the caves. Nothing to concern us, in short.
その時には獰猛な魔物、「クァール」が棲み着いていたことを確認しただけだったのだが……。
‘At that time, we had only confirmed that ferocious monsters, coeurls, had settled there...’
English mentions a family of coeurls, nothing to worry about; Japanese calls them ferocious monsters.
The Hall is on the way to Sastasha, just north of Aleport. Head inside and one of their seasoned adventurers will take you in hand. Best of luck to you, friend!
Hör ihr gut zu, denn sie weiß, wovon sie spricht: Sie hat schon so manchem Piraten das Holzbein gestutzt.
‘Listen to her carefully, because she knows what she's talking about: she's cut many a pirate's peg leg down to size.’
V'mellpa jokes about the veteran at the Hall of the Novice. In other words, she has beaten many pirates.
No matter what they've told you, be ready for pirates. There's never any shortage of the bastards. This is Limsa Lominsa we're talking about...
もしかしたら、海賊かもしれません……。
‘Perhaps they may be pirates...’
Japanese only suggests, politely, that they may be pirates; English is certain and curses them.
Ah, you must be the adventurer of whom the Yellowjackets sent word. I hear you are to brave the depths of the Sastasha Seagrot.
V'mellpa hat mich kontaktiert und deine Ankunft angekündigt.
‘V'mellpa contacted me and announced your arrival.’
English says the Yellowjackets sent word of you; German says V'mellpa announced your arrival.
The occupants of those caves are rumored to be as numerous as they are bloodthirsty. No matter what the epic tales would have you believe, strolling into such a den of savagery alone would be the height of foolishness. No, you shall need companions.
Ich kenne die Sastasha-Höhle in- und auswendig und ich kann dir sagen, dass die rutschigen Steine nicht die einzige Gefahr sind.
‘I know the Sastasha cave inside and out, and I can tell you that the slippery stones are not the only danger.’
English cites rumors of many bloodthirsty occupants; German's speaker knows the cave and warns about slippery stones.
The Smith here oversees the training schedules. Speak with him, and you can register for exercises tailored to your particular field of expertise.
C'est notre chef instructeur, et son rôle est de présenter aux aventuriers les différents programmes d'entraînement qui leur permettront de progresser.
‘He is our head instructor, and his role is to introduce adventurers to the various training programmes that will help them progress.’
Der Lehrmeister dort drüben wird dich reinlassen und dir angemessene Übungen vorschlagen.
‘The instructor over there will let you in and suggest suitable exercises for you.’
訓練は、そちらの「冒険者指導教官」から受けられます。
‘You can receive training from the Adventurer Instructor over there.’
English names him The Smith; French only calls him their head instructor.
English names him The Smith; German only calls him the instructor.
English names him The Smith; Japanese only calls him the Adventurer Instructor.
What took ye so bloody long, Edda? If me purse was too light, ye might've considered usin' some of yer own bleedin' coin to get us what we need!
Hast du dir mit unseren mühsam verdienten Gil etwa eine schöne Zeit gegönnt, anstatt die Tränke zu besorgen?
‘Did you treat yourself to a good time with our hard-earned gil, instead of getting the potions?’
English tells Edda to use her own coin if the purse was light; German accuses her of spending their gil on fun.
Ye've only ever been as useful as the contents o' yer pockets─the gods know ye can barely 'eal a scratch!
C'est la seule tâche que t'avais !
‘That was the only job you had!’
English says she is only as useful as her money; French says this was her only task.
We took up the 'venturin' life to take on the big jobs an' claim the big rewards. How're we meant to do that if ye can't even get our supplies in order?
On n'est pas là pour boire le thé, compris ?
‘We're not here to drink tea, got it?’
こんな小さな山で、のんびりできねぇぞ。
‘We can't be taking it easy over a little pile like this.’
English complains she can't keep their supplies in order; French says they are not there to sit drinking tea.
English complains she can't keep their supplies in order; Japanese says they can't dawdle over such a small job.
Hm? It's 'er/'im─the one Baderon was talkin' to!
Qu'est-ce que tu fais là, toi ?
‘What are you doing here, you?’
Bist du etwa auch hier, um die Höhle zu erforschen?!
‘Are you here to explore the cave too?!’
お前も……冒険者なのか……。
‘You too... are an adventurer...?’
English has the speaker recognize you as the one Baderon was talking to; French just asks what you are doing there.
English has the speaker recognize you as the one Baderon was talking to; German asks if you came to explore too.
English has the speaker recognize you as the one Baderon was talking to; Japanese only realizes you are an adventurer too.
Well, we'll see who gets the glory! This job should've been ours in the first place!
On était sur place les premiers, alors tu peux rentrer chez toi !
‘We were here first, so you can go home!’
Das ist unsere Höhle! Verzieh dich!
‘Forget it! This is our cave! Get lost!’
English says the job should have been theirs; French says they got there first, so you can go home.
English says the job should have been theirs; German claims the cave as theirs and tells you to get lost.
Bwahahaha! Edda, you're so slow, you'd lose a footrace to a tree slug.
Que t'es bête, Edda !
‘You're so stupid, Edda!’
エッダは相変わらずノロマね！
‘Edda is as slow as ever!’
English jokes Edda would lose a footrace to a tree slug; French just calls her stupid.
English jokes Edda would lose a footrace to a tree slug; Japanese just says she is slow as ever.
This is perfect for our inaugural outing as a party─wandering around in the caves, turning over a few rocks... How difficult could it possibly be?
Une simple inspection de grotte, fastoche pour un groupe comme le nôtre !
‘A simple cave check, easy-peasy for a group like ours!’
Paiyo Reiyo talks slang. The English speaks in polished sentences.
I never expected our first visit to the Adventurers' Guild would yield such a straightforward way to win fame and fortune.
Choper une mission aussi facile dès notre arrivée à la guilde des aventuriers, quel coup de bol !
‘Snagging a job this easy the minute we reach the adventurers' guild — what a lucky break!’
I-I'm sorry, Avere! I came as fast as I could!
ご、ごめんなさい、アヴィ……リーダー！これでも……走ってきたんだよ。
‘S-sorry, Ave... Leader! I ran here, you know.’
Désolée, Ave... euh... je veux dire, Chef !
‘Sorry, Ave... uh... I mean, Boss!’
ご、ごめんなさい、アヴィ……リーダー！
‘S-sorry, Avi... Leader!’
Edda starts to say Avere's name, then switches to what the party calls him. The slip fits the later reveal that she and Avere are to marry.
Here too Edda catches herself. It sounds as if the bullying Avere insists on being called that.
English simply says Avere; Japanese breaks off the name and says Leader instead.
I tried haggling with the merchant, but two potions was the best I could get with the money you gave me. I had no idea how expensive they were!
Der alte Knauser!
‘The old skinflint!’
English has the speaker surprised at how expensive potions are; German has her call the merchant an old skinflint.
Grandfather and I are companions on the road.
Isildaure und ich sind alte Weggefährten.
‘Isildaure and I are old travelling companions.’
Alianne drops the family tie here. In English and French, Isildaure is her grandfather.
Please tell me you're here on Yellowjacket duty, and not some daft sod out for a stroll. I can't take any more of this blasted waiting. You are? Thank the gods.
C'est toi, l'aventurière/er envoyé(e) par Baderon ?
‘Is it you, the adventurer sent by Baderon?’
バデロンから調査依頼を受けた冒険者とは、お前か。
‘So you are the adventurer who took the investigation request from Baderon.’
French guard calmly asks if Baderon sent the player; English grumbles about daft strollers and the blasted waiting.
Japanese guard formally confirms Baderon sent the player; English grumbles about daft strollers and the blasted waiting.
I assume you already know about the ship seen slipping around the Isles of Umbra?
昨今、エールポート近海の幻影諸島周辺において、不審船が目撃されていてな。
‘Lately a suspicious ship has been seen around the Phantom Isles off Aleport.’
Du weißt vermutlich bereits, dass in der Nähe der Phantominseln ein unbekanntes Schiff gesichtet wurde.
‘You probably know already that an unknown ship was sighted near the Phantom Isles.’
On a repéré des bateaux inconnus près des îles d'Ombra, vers Port-aux-Ales.
‘Unknown boats have been spotted near the Isles of Ombra, out by Aleport.’
Their names are Die Phantominseln and Îles d'Ombra. German keeps the Japanese phantoms. French keeps the Latin umbra, 'shadow', like the English.
I've yet to see them for myself, but if this lot belongs to those fishback-fancying Serpent Reavers...
不審な風体の男たちが、蛮族サハギン族に加担する海賊団、「海蛇の舌」の者であったとすれば……
‘If those suspicious-looking men belong to the Sea Serpent's Tongue, the pirate crew that sides with the beastman Sahagin...’
They are the Sahagin's pirate allies. The English name keeps the serpent but drops the tongue.
I've yet to see them for myself, but if this lot belongs to those fishback-fancying Serpent Reavers...
On a de bonnes raisons de penser qu'il s'agit de pillards du serpent de mèche avec les Sahuagins.
‘We have good reason to think they are Serpent Reavers in league with the Sahagin.’
French guard asserts a well-founded suspicion; English guard admits he hasn't seen them and only supposes.
Well, you can imagine the panic it'll cause. The kidnappings are still fresh in people's minds.
Les riverains sont déjà inquiets à cause des problèmes récents, alors on aimerait régler cette histoire rapidement et sans faire de vagues.
‘The locals are already worried because of the recent problems, so we'd like to settle this quickly and without making waves.’
Ihr letzter Überfall steckt den Leuten noch tief in den Knochen.
‘Their last raid still sits deep in people's bones.’
ここ最近の騒動で浮足立つ住民に、さらなる混乱を呼ぶことになる。
‘It will cause further chaos among residents already on edge from the recent commotion.’
English names the kidnappings; French only speaks of recent problems.
English names the kidnappings; German speaks of their last raid.
English names the kidnappings; Japanese only speaks of the recent commotion.
Anyway, your task is to poke around in the caves, and find out exactly who we're dealing with. While you do that, I'll be keeping watch out here...praying you don't spot any blue face tattoos.
Ich bete für dich, dass sich unser Verdacht als unbegründet herausstellt.
‘I pray for you that our suspicion turns out to be unfounded.’
English hopes you spot no blue face tattoos; German hopes their suspicion proves unfounded.
Ah. Might you be the adventurer who accepted the job of investigating Sastasha?
Ah, bist du etwa die Abenteurerin/der Abenteurer, die/der uns den Auftrag vor der Nase weggeschnappt hat?!
‘Ah, are you perhaps the adventurer who snatched the job from right under our nose?!’
English asks if you accepted the Sastasha job; German asks if you snatched it from under their nose.
Hmph. It would seem that ship has not only sailed, but now returns to harbor, none the worse for its voyage. A pity. We dragged our boots too long on this one.
Pas besoin de vous demander si vous avez réussi...
‘No need to ask you whether you succeeded...’
……その様子では、無事に解決したようだな。
‘...By the look of you, it seems it was solved safely.’
Dommage pour nous, vous nous avez coupé l'herbe sous le pied, à ce que je vois.
‘Too bad for us, you have cut the grass from under our feet, from what I see.’
English extends the sailed-ship joke: the ship returned safe; French just says you clearly succeeded.
English extends the sailed-ship joke: the ship returned safe; Japanese just says you clearly solved it.
French uses the idiom “cut the grass from under our feet”; English extends Baderon's image of the sailed ship.
Not a wink of sleep, great leader!
Bien parlé !
‘Well said!’
Ja, genau, ich will endlich groß rauskommen!
‘Yes, exactly, I want to make it big at last!’
望むところだわ！
‘That's just what I want!’
French Kikina simply approves; English jokes that there will be not a wink of sleep.
German Kikina says she wants to make it big; English jokes about not a wink of sleep.
Japanese Kikina says she welcomes it; English jokes about not a wink of sleep, calling him great leader.
You would not think to stride into battle unclad, would you? Well, goals are as arms and armor for the spirit! I wish you fortune in your endeavors, milady/sir!
Et puis, ça aide aussi à devenir plus fort psychologiquement.
‘And then, it also helps one become psychologically stronger.’
French says plainly that goals make you mentally stronger; English's image of arms and armour is absent.
Still, sounds like ye left 'em in pieces, so I don't s'pose they'll be carryin' out whatever mischief they was plannin'─unless they was plannin' on feedin' 'emselves to the fauna o' Sastasha, o' course. Anyroad, all's well that ends well!
Mais je me demande tout de même ce qu'ils mijotaient...
‘But I still wonder what they were cooking up...’
English closes cheerfully that all's well that ends well; French still wonders what they were plotting.
Highlighted words have a note: click one to open it under the line.
I thank ye fer takin' the time to 'elp me out. Now, I'm sure yer busy, so I'll come straight to the point.
Word 'as it some suspicious-lookin' buggers 'ave been sneakin' in an' out o' the Sastasha Seagrot, an' I need a trustworthy sort to 'ead up north of Aleport an' find out who they are an' what they're up to.
Die Gelbjacken sind bereits alarmiert, aber ihr Befehlshaber, Kommandant Reyner, hat die Abenteurergilde um Unterstützung gebeten.
‘The Yellowjackets are already on alert, but their commander, Commander Reyner, has asked the Adventurers' Guild for support.’
English: the speaker needs a trustworthy sort to go north; German: Commander Reyner asked the Adventurers' Guild for help.
Don't sound like much, I know...
But since that nasty business over in Swiftperch, folk've been a bit uneasy. Well, I say “a bit”... 'Tis all they can do not to soil 'emselves every time the bloody floorboards creak.
Seit dem blutigen Kampf an der Tölpelturm-Siedlung, den du glücklicherweise zum Guten gewendet hast, sind die Leute ziemlich nervös.
‘Since the bloody battle at the Booby Tower Settlement, which you fortunately turned for the better, people have been rather nervous.’
English names it Swiftperch; the German name means Booby Tower Settlement (Tölpel: a seabird, also an oaf).
But it weren't so long ago as the fishbacks' pet pirates paid us an unwelcome visit, an' folk are feelin' a bit nervous.
If you would permit me, Master Baderon, I should be happy to elaborate.
Well, well, if it ain't the chief Yellowjacket 'imself. To what do I owe this rare honor, Commodore Reyner? Come to make sure me patrons are behavin'─or just thirsty?
Ah, Capitaine Hansred !
‘Ah, Captain Hansred!’
Japaneseいよう、レイナー・ハンスレッド殿。
‘Hey there, Master Reyner Hansred.’
Unlike the English, the French gives the Yellowjackets' chief a surname. Baderon uses it.
Japanese gives his full name, Reyner Hansred, without the rank; English says Commodore Reyner.
Neither, in fact. I came to welcome your name back to Limsa Lominsa. It is well you have returned.
Neither, in fact. I was informed that you had requested an adventurer to assist in my investigation, and I came to offer what information I could sift from recent reports.
Over the course of the past moon, there have been several sightings of an unfamiliar vessel off the coast of Aleport, in the vicinity of the Isles of Umbra.
最近、エールポートの近海「幻影諸島」の周辺で、不審船が目撃されている。
‘Lately a suspicious ship has been sighted around the Phantom Isles, in the waters off Aleport.’
The English umbra means shadow.
On nous a rapporté que des intrus ont été aperçus dans les environs de Port-aux-Ales.
‘We have been told that intruders have been spotted around Aleport.’
English reports sightings of an unfamiliar vessel; French reports intruders spotted near Aleport.
This information came to my attention no more than a few weeks after a squad of my own soldiers had completed a routine patrol of the region, the Sastasha Seagrot included.
Es ist noch gar nicht lange her, dass ich eine Patrouille zur Höhle geschickt habe, um nach Verstecken der Sahagin suchen zu lassen.
‘It's not long at all since I sent a patrol to the cave to search for Sahagin hideouts.’
Japanese実は先日、その調査も兼ね、リムサ・ロミンサの警備隊「イエロージャケット」が、この洞窟を調査したばかりなのだ。
‘In fact, just the other day, partly as that very investigation, Limsa Lominsa's guard, the Yellowjackets, surveyed this cave.’
English calls it a routine patrol of the region; German says the patrol went looking for Sahagin hideouts.
English calls it a routine patrol before the news came; Japanese says the survey also served that investigation.
Their search revealed little, save that a family of coeurls had taken up residence in the caves. Nothing to concern us, in short.
Reyner talks about a 'family of coeurls'. In Sastasha you really do meet a coeurl. It is Chopper, a level 15 beastkin and one of the dungeon's bosses.
その時には獰猛な魔物、「クァール」が棲み着いていたことを確認しただけだったのだが……。
‘At that time, we had only confirmed that ferocious monsters, coeurls, had settled there...’
English mentions a family of coeurls, nothing to worry about; Japanese calls them ferocious monsters.
In light of recent developments, however, it would seem wise to search Sastasha again.
But with the Sahagin testing our defenses daily, I am loath to assign the task to the limited forces at my disposal. Our line is stretched as it is.
Thus I sought the services of a competent adventurer to conduct an investigation in our stead. Any aid you can offer in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Then it is settled.
Sastasha is located in western La Noscea. For more detailed instructions on how to reach the place, I suggest you consult V'mellpa. She can be found at the ferry docks on the lower decks.
You 'eard the man! Good luck to ye, lass/lad!
You're here about Commodore Reyner's investigation? Then you'll want to board a ferry bound for Aleport.
Once you arrive in western La Noscea, though, you'd best pay a visit to the Hall of the Novice before you blunder into Sastasha.
The Adventurers' Guild runs the Hall, and the folk there will prepare you─train you with the skills you'll need to face the dangers undoubtedly waiting for you in the Seagrot.
The Hall is on the way to Sastasha, just north of Aleport. Head inside and one of their seasoned adventurers will take you in hand. Best of luck to you, friend!
Hör ihr gut zu, denn sie weiß, wovon sie spricht: Sie hat schon so manchem Piraten das Holzbein gestutzt.
‘Listen to her carefully, because she knows what she's talking about: she's cut many a pirate's peg leg down to size.’
V'mellpa jokes about the veteran at the Hall of the Novice. In other words, she has beaten many pirates.
No matter what they've told you, be ready for pirates. There's never any shortage of the bastards. This is Limsa Lominsa we're talking about...
もしかしたら、海賊かもしれません……。
‘Perhaps they may be pirates...’
Japanese only suggests, politely, that they may be pirates; English is certain and curses them.
Ah, you must be the adventurer of whom the Yellowjackets sent word. I hear you are to brave the depths of the Sastasha Seagrot.
V'mellpa hat mich kontaktiert und deine Ankunft angekündigt.
‘V'mellpa contacted me and announced your arrival.’
English says the Yellowjackets sent word of you; German says V'mellpa announced your arrival.
The occupants of those caves are rumored to be as numerous as they are bloodthirsty. No matter what the epic tales would have you believe, strolling into such a den of savagery alone would be the height of foolishness. No, you shall need companions.
Ich kenne die Sastasha-Höhle in- und auswendig und ich kann dir sagen, dass die rutschigen Steine nicht die einzige Gefahr sind.
‘I know the Sastasha cave inside and out, and I can tell you that the slippery stones are not the only danger.’
English cites rumors of many bloodthirsty occupants; German's speaker knows the cave and warns about slippery stones.
And you shall need the training we here at the Hall of the Novice can provide! I strongly suggest that you study the fundamentals of group combat before continuing on your mission.
The Smith here oversees the training schedules. Speak with him, and you can register for exercises tailored to your particular field of expertise.
C'est notre chef instructeur, et son rôle est de présenter aux aventuriers les différents programmes d'entraînement qui leur permettront de progresser.
‘He is our head instructor, and his role is to introduce adventurers to the various training programmes that will help them progress.’
GermanDer Lehrmeister dort drüben wird dich reinlassen und dir angemessene Übungen vorschlagen.
‘The instructor over there will let you in and suggest suitable exercises for you.’
Japanese訓練は、そちらの「冒険者指導教官」から受けられます。
‘You can receive training from the Adventurer Instructor over there.’
English names him The Smith; French only calls him their head instructor.
English names him The Smith; German only calls him the instructor.
English names him The Smith; Japanese only calls him the Adventurer Instructor.
When you have mastered all that our masters have to teach, then it will be time to head north once more. Report to the Yellowjacket scout at the mouth of the Sastasha Seagrot, and he will furnish you with the details of your duty.
What took ye so bloody long, Edda? If me purse was too light, ye might've considered usin' some of yer own bleedin' coin to get us what we need!
Hast du dir mit unseren mühsam verdienten Gil etwa eine schöne Zeit gegönnt, anstatt die Tränke zu besorgen?
‘Did you treat yourself to a good time with our hard-earned gil, instead of getting the potions?’
English tells Edda to use her own coin if the purse was light; German accuses her of spending their gil on fun.
Ye've only ever been as useful as the contents o' yer pockets─the gods know ye can barely 'eal a scratch!
At the optional Hall of the Novice, watch Avere make fun of Edda's healing. The story of this arguing party goes on at steps 26 and 28. It also goes on past the end of this chart.
C'est la seule tâche que t'avais !
‘That was the only job you had!’
English says she is only as useful as her money; French says this was her only task.
We took up the 'venturin' life to take on the big jobs an' claim the big rewards. How're we meant to do that if ye can't even get our supplies in order?
On n'est pas là pour boire le thé, compris ?
‘We're not here to drink tea, got it?’
Japaneseこんな小さな山で、のんびりできねぇぞ。
‘We can't be taking it easy over a little pile like this.’
English complains she can't keep their supplies in order; French says they are not there to sit drinking tea.
English complains she can't keep their supplies in order; Japanese says they can't dawdle over such a small job.
Hm? It's 'er/'im─the one Baderon was talkin' to!
Qu'est-ce que tu fais là, toi ?
‘What are you doing here, you?’
GermanBist du etwa auch hier, um die Höhle zu erforschen?!
‘Are you here to explore the cave too?!’
Japaneseお前も……冒険者なのか……。
‘You too... are an adventurer...?’
English has the speaker recognize you as the one Baderon was talking to; French just asks what you are doing there.
English has the speaker recognize you as the one Baderon was talking to; German asks if you came to explore too.
English has the speaker recognize you as the one Baderon was talking to; Japanese only realizes you are an adventurer too.
Well, we'll see who gets the glory! This job should've been ours in the first place!
On était sur place les premiers, alors tu peux rentrer chez toi !
‘We were here first, so you can go home!’
GermanDas ist unsere Höhle! Verzieh dich!
‘Forget it! This is our cave! Get lost!’
English says the job should have been theirs; French says they got there first, so you can go home.
English says the job should have been theirs; German claims the cave as theirs and tells you to get lost.
Bwahahaha! Edda, you're so slow, you'd lose a footrace to a tree slug.
Que t'es bête, Edda !
‘You're so stupid, Edda!’
Japaneseエッダは相変わらずノロマね！
‘Edda is as slow as ever!’
English jokes Edda would lose a footrace to a tree slug; French just calls her stupid.
English jokes Edda would lose a footrace to a tree slug; Japanese just says she is slow as ever.
This is perfect for our inaugural outing as a party─wandering around in the caves, turning over a few rocks... How difficult could it possibly be?
Une simple inspection de grotte, fastoche pour un groupe comme le nôtre !
‘A simple cave check, easy-peasy for a group like ours!’
Paiyo Reiyo talks slang. The English speaks in polished sentences.
I never expected our first visit to the Adventurers' Guild would yield such a straightforward way to win fame and fortune.
Choper une mission aussi facile dès notre arrivée à la guilde des aventuriers, quel coup de bol !
‘Snagging a job this easy the minute we reach the adventurers' guild — what a lucky break!’
I-I'm sorry, Avere! I came as fast as I could!
ご、ごめんなさい、アヴィ……リーダー！これでも……走ってきたんだよ。
‘S-sorry, Ave... Leader! I ran here, you know.’
FrenchDésolée, Ave... euh... je veux dire, Chef !
‘Sorry, Ave... uh... I mean, Boss!’
Japaneseご、ごめんなさい、アヴィ……リーダー！
‘S-sorry, Avi... Leader!’
Edda starts to say Avere's name, then switches to what the party calls him. The slip fits the later reveal that she and Avere are to marry.
Here too Edda catches herself. It sounds as if the bullying Avere insists on being called that.
English simply says Avere; Japanese breaks off the name and says Leader instead.
I tried haggling with the merchant, but two potions was the best I could get with the money you gave me. I had no idea how expensive they were!
Der alte Knauser!
‘The old skinflint!’
English has the speaker surprised at how expensive potions are; German has her call the merchant an old skinflint.
Ah, a fellow adventurer. You, too, are here to unravel the mysteries of Sastasha?
I have adventured across this wide realm for more seasons than I dare to count, yet still Eorzea manages to surprise me with her beauty and splendor.
Our journeys are not ended by the attainment of riches or fame. It is an unquenchable thirst for the unknown that drives us into the wilds time and again.
Even if I explored the world for a thousand years, I would never grow weary of this life.
Grandfather and I are companions on the road.
Isildaure und ich sind alte Weggefährten.
‘Isildaure and I are old travelling companions.’
Alianne drops the family tie here. In English and French, Isildaure is her grandfather.
We travel where the wind takes us, and drink in all the wonders this world has to offer.
Only an adventurer can understand the joy of such freedom─of discovering hidden places and experiencing sights and sounds that few may ever know.
The passing years have begun to take their toll on the old man, but no force save death itself will sate his appetite for adventure!
Please tell me you're here on Yellowjacket duty, and not some daft sod out for a stroll. I can't take any more of this blasted waiting. You are? Thank the gods.
C'est toi, l'aventurière/er envoyé(e) par Baderon ?
‘Is it you, the adventurer sent by Baderon?’
Japaneseバデロンから調査依頼を受けた冒険者とは、お前か。
‘So you are the adventurer who took the investigation request from Baderon.’
French guard calmly asks if Baderon sent the player; English grumbles about daft strollers and the blasted waiting.
Japanese guard formally confirms Baderon sent the player; English grumbles about daft strollers and the blasted waiting.
I assume you already know about the ship seen slipping around the Isles of Umbra?
昨今、エールポート近海の幻影諸島周辺において、不審船が目撃されていてな。
‘Lately a suspicious ship has been seen around the Phantom Isles off Aleport.’
GermanDu weißt vermutlich bereits, dass in der Nähe der Phantominseln ein unbekanntes Schiff gesichtet wurde.
‘You probably know already that an unknown ship was sighted near the Phantom Isles.’
FrenchOn a repéré des bateaux inconnus près des îles d'Ombra, vers Port-aux-Ales.
‘Unknown boats have been spotted near the Isles of Ombra, out by Aleport.’
Their names are Die Phantominseln and Îles d'Ombra. German keeps the Japanese phantoms. French keeps the Latin umbra, 'shadow', like the English.
We've been on the lookout for pirate activity ever since that vessel was sighted, thinking a crew of cutthroats might have a den nearby.
So when we received word that men of questionable quality had been seen passing in and out of Sastasha here, we weren't entirely surprised.
When your skills have been honed and your mind sharpened, continue onwards to the north. The Yellowjacket scout stationed before the Sastasha Seagrot will have the details of your mission.
I've yet to see them for myself, but if this lot belongs to those fishback-fancying Serpent Reavers...
不審な風体の男たちが、蛮族サハギン族に加担する海賊団、「海蛇の舌」の者であったとすれば……
‘If those suspicious-looking men belong to the Sea Serpent's Tongue, the pirate crew that sides with the beastman Sahagin...’
They are the Sahagin's pirate allies. The English name keeps the serpent but drops the tongue.
On a de bonnes raisons de penser qu'il s'agit de pillards du serpent de mèche avec les Sahuagins.
‘We have good reason to think they are Serpent Reavers in league with the Sahagin.’
French guard asserts a well-founded suspicion; English guard admits he hasn't seen them and only supposes.
Well, you can imagine the panic it'll cause. The kidnappings are still fresh in people's minds.
Les riverains sont déjà inquiets à cause des problèmes récents, alors on aimerait régler cette histoire rapidement et sans faire de vagues.
‘The locals are already worried because of the recent problems, so we'd like to settle this quickly and without making waves.’
GermanIhr letzter Überfall steckt den Leuten noch tief in den Knochen.
‘Their last raid still sits deep in people's bones.’
Japaneseここ最近の騒動で浮足立つ住民に、さらなる混乱を呼ぶことになる。
‘It will cause further chaos among residents already on edge from the recent commotion.’
English names the kidnappings; French only speaks of recent problems.
English names the kidnappings; German speaks of their last raid.
English names the kidnappings; Japanese only speaks of the recent commotion.
Anyway, your task is to poke around in the caves, and find out exactly who we're dealing with. While you do that, I'll be keeping watch out here...praying you don't spot any blue face tattoos.
Ich bete für dich, dass sich unser Verdacht als unbegründet herausstellt.
‘I pray for you that our suspicion turns out to be unfounded.’
English hopes you spot no blue face tattoos; German hopes their suspicion proves unfounded.
The fishbacks and their Serpent Reaver lackeys cannot be allowed to establish a permanent base in these lands.
You must uncover the truth behind who or what is lurking in these caves, adventurer. The peace of western La Noscea may depend on it!
Aye, such a task was on the books. “Was,” mind. I'm afraid that ship 'as already sailed, friend.
Ah. Might you be the adventurer who accepted the job of investigating Sastasha?
Ah, bist du etwa die Abenteurerin/der Abenteurer, die/der uns den Auftrag vor der Nase weggeschnappt hat?!
‘Ah, are you perhaps the adventurer who snatched the job from right under our nose?!’
English asks if you accepted the Sastasha job; German asks if you snatched it from under their nose.
Hmph. It would seem that ship has not only sailed, but now returns to harbor, none the worse for its voyage. A pity. We dragged our boots too long on this one.
Pas besoin de vous demander si vous avez réussi...
‘No need to ask you whether you succeeded...’
Japanese……その様子では、無事に解決したようだな。
‘...By the look of you, it seems it was solved safely.’
FrenchDommage pour nous, vous nous avez coupé l'herbe sous le pied, à ce que je vois.
‘Too bad for us, you have cut the grass from under our feet, from what I see.’
English extends the sailed-ship joke: the ship returned safe; French just says you clearly succeeded.
English extends the sailed-ship joke: the ship returned safe; Japanese just says you clearly solved it.
French uses the idiom “cut the grass from under our feet”; English extends Baderon's image of the sailed ship.
No matter. The wheel will turn and our chance will come.
You are right, of course. But there shall be no rest till we have attained our goal, lofty though it may be!
Bien parlé !
‘Well said!’
GermanJa, genau, ich will endlich groß rauskommen!
‘Yes, exactly, I want to make it big at last!’
Japanese望むところだわ！
‘That's just what I want!’
French Kikina simply approves; English jokes that there will be not a wink of sleep.
German Kikina says she wants to make it big; English jokes about not a wink of sleep.
Japanese Kikina says she welcomes it; English jokes about not a wink of sleep, calling him great leader.
Our aim, lest you wonder, is to perform such feats of heroism as will earn us a place in the songs of every alehouse in Eorzea. We mean to write a legend which will inspire adventurers as yet unborn to follow our shining example.
Do you have such a goal? Large or small, it matters not. Only have a star to reach for and you will reach higher.
Purpose can sustain you through times of hardship. Keep your eye on the prize, and all obstacles will be overcome in time.
You would not think to stride into battle unclad, would you? Well, goals are as arms and armor for the spirit! I wish you fortune in your endeavors, milady/sir!
Et puis, ça aide aussi à devenir plus fort psychologiquement.
‘And then, it also helps one become psychologically stronger.’
French says plainly that goals make you mentally stronger; English's image of arms and armour is absent.
Back then, are ye? With all yer limbs, an' a tale to tell, I'll wager.
Fishbacks? An' there I was thinkin' ye'd only 'ave to crack a pirate skull or three. Seven hells... Ye turn yer back fer five bloody minutes, an' the scaly bastards've set up shop on yer bleedin' doorstep...
Still, sounds like ye left 'em in pieces, so I don't s'pose they'll be carryin' out whatever mischief they was plannin'─unless they was plannin' on feedin' 'emselves to the fauna o' Sastasha, o' course. Anyroad, all's well that ends well!
Mais je me demande tout de même ce qu'ils mijotaient...
‘But I still wonder what they were cooking up...’
English closes cheerfully that all's well that ends well; French still wonders what they were plotting.
Thanks fer sheddin' some light on this mystery. I knew ye'd get the job done, lass/lad─ye always do!
On behalf o' Limsa, I thank ye fer sheddin' some light on this mystery. Ye've lived up to yer reputation, an' I couldn't ask fer no more'n that.
Now, I'll bet yer dyin' fer a rest, but just in case yer not, I was wonderin' if ye might be interested in takin' on another job? It just so 'appens that I've 'ad a request from our sister guild in Gridania, see.
Seems the forest folk're in need of a 'venturer what can get things done.
Fer them to ask fer 'elp like this, ye can bet the task won't be no skip through a sunny glade. But after the way ye dealt with our fishback infestation, I doubt it's anythin' ye can't 'andle.
Give us a shout when yer ready, an' I'll lay it out fer ye.
