Naja Salaheem: What!? Abquhbah: (Will this office never get a moment of peace...?) Naja Salaheem: Ah! Naja Salaheem: That is to say... Naja Salaheem: One of my mercenaries acted without my knowledge... Naja Salaheem: And offered his/her services as a local guide? Naja Salaheem: Do I understand you correctly!? Abquhbah: (I'm not trained for this kind of thing...) Naja Salaheem: My a-a-apologies! Naja Salaheem: That blockheaded... Ah, I mean, that mercenary... Naja Salaheem: ...has smeared mud on the good name of Salaheem's Sentinels! Abquhbah: Oh...oh dear... (I think that's the first time I've heard President Naja apologize...) Naja Salaheem: It's unforgivable... Naja Salaheem: ...that one of my mercenaries was bested by a bunch of Qiqirn... Naja Salaheem: And then prrroceeded to take a nap, abandoning a valued client in the depths of the Aydeewa Subterrane! Abquhbah: Ouch... (I wouldn't want to be in Player name's shoes...) Abquhbah: Oh. Hello, Player name. Abquhbah: You do have the worst timeing for showing up to work. (Or is it always a bad time...?) Abquhbah: The Windurstian Ambassador is here at the moment, talking business with President Naja... Abquhbah: Did you hear everything...? The president is in a bad mood! Abquhbah: I think it would be wise for you to lay low for a few-- Naja Salaheem: Abquhbah!!! Abquhbah: Yes, m-m-ma'am!!! Naja Salaheem: Is someone there with you? Abquhbah: No...I mean, yes... Abquhbah: (I'm sorry, Player name...) Abquhbah: (I can't lie, President Naja can hear a Qiqirn sneeze from 100 malms away...) Naja Salaheem: Hmph. Naja Salaheem: Well then. Naja Salaheem: Ya need to take a look at the crrrystal compass. Naja Salaheem: The ambassador would like to leave as soon as possible and needs a rrreliable mercenary. Abquhbah: Yes, m-m-ma'am!!! Naja Salaheem: Just one thing. Abquhbah: Yes, ma'am? Naja Salaheem: Take Player name off the list of candidates. Naja Salaheem: He's/She's rrruined his/her chance of showing our mercenary mettle to our forrreign guest. Abquhbah: Y-yes, ma'am!!! Karababa: Ohohoho. Such an aggressive, no-nonsense style. I haven't met your sort in quite a while. Naja Salaheem: You flatter me, Lady Ambassador. Naja Salaheem: Speed in rrresolving matters is part of our motto here. King of Hearts: LaDy*KaRabAbA iS tHE*amBAsSadoR pLEni*poTEntiaRy oF*WiNDuRst. King of Hearts: GReaT seRVicE*sHouLD bE*a giVEn! Naja Salaheem: ... King of Hearts: HoW*eVEr... Naja Salaheem: Hm? King of Hearts: Is thErE*a mERceNaRY*iN tHiS coMpaNY*cApAbLe oF*pRoteCTiNg LaDy*KaRabAbA? Naja Salaheem: You...!? Karababa: You? Naja Salaheem: You...can put your trrrust in Salaheem's Sentinels. Naja Salaheem: There is some varrriation in ability, but all of our employees excel in the mercenary field. Naja Salaheem: That good-for-nothing mudsucker you had the misfortune of meeting... Naja Salaheem: ...is the one bad apple in the barrel! Naja Salaheem: Naturally, we shall prrrovide you with the most talented mercenary in our employment. King of Hearts: MoST*taLEnteD...? King of Hearts: As taLEnteD*aS tHE*KiNg oF HeaRTs? Naja Salaheem: Not a...! Karababa: Hm? Naja Salaheem: Ah...there could be no comparison. Naja Salaheem: I guarantee the quality of my employees. Naja Salaheem: However, none could hope to match your strrrength, King...ah, Your Majesty. King of Hearts: HehE*heHEhE... VeRY8uNLikeLY, I*agREe. Karababa: Ohohoho. Enough of that, King. Your pride is embarrassing. King of Hearts: BuT, LaDy*KaRabAbA... Karababa: We are making an official request... Karababa: ...I'm sure we need not worry about being lumped with someone like that former pest. Naja Salaheem: Exactly, exactly! Only the best for our most valued clients! Naja Salaheem: We should be able to view a list verrry soon... Naja Salaheem: What could be keeping him...? Naja Salaheem: All of our employees are so exemplary, it's sometimes hard to make a decision, you see... Naja Salaheem: Abquhbah!!! Abquhbah: Yes, m-m-ma'am!!! Naja Salaheem: The ambassador is waiting. Abquhbah: M-my apologies! Naja Salaheem: Ah, here we go! So sorry for the delay. Naja Salaheem: Now, which magnificent myrmidons do you have for us...? Abquhbah: I'm terribly sorry, President Naja! Naja Salaheem: Now what!? Abquhbah: I... You see... Naja Salaheem: He is a harrrd worker, I guess... Abquhbah: And I'm sure he wouldn't want to let you down, President Naja. Naja Salaheem: Hmmm... Naja Salaheem: Well, he's managed to get this far on gumption alon. Ya gotta give him that much. Naja Salaheem: Lady Ambassador... Naja Salaheem: We finally brrring you... Abquhbah: Dum-da-da-dum-da-da-da-dum.♪ Naja Salaheem: An outstanding warrior from the rrranks of the Sentinels... Abquhbah: Da-dum.♪ Naja Salaheem: Falzum the Fearless! Karababa: ... Falzum: Uh...h-hello. I'm F-Fal-- Naja Salaheem: He looks a little strrringy, but let me tell you, he's a rrraging tiger on the battlefield. Karababa: ... Naja Salaheem: Why, in the most rrrecent attack on teh city, he was beating down Mamool Ja on the right, and cleaving through Trolls on the left... Karababa: ...Very well. Naja Salaheem: I rrrealize it's hard to believe, but once he gets going...huh? Karababa: Very wel. He seems sturdy enough, as far as I can tell. Karababa: He needs only to have no fear for his life. Naja Salaheem: You have nothing to worry-- Karababa: I require a guide to the Navukgo Execution Chamber--there is no time for splitting hairs with a knife! Falzum: !!! Falzum: Ex-Ex-Execution Chamber!? ???: Ovjang...? ???: Ooovjaaang! Aphmau: She's not here... Aphmau: Where... Aphmau: Where could she have gone? Aphmau: I can't find her anywhere... Aphmau: Grand Vizier... Where is my Ovjang!? Razfahd: It is merely one puppet among many. Razfahd: Do you need to make such a fuss? Aphmau: But... Razfahd: You are almost sixteen. Isn't it about time you stopped playing with dolls? Aphmau: What...what have you done with Ovjang? Razfahd: I have done nothing. Your toy was not in that place. Razfahd: You still have Mnejing here, don't you? Razfahd: And that other puppet... Razfahd: But no, it is not the time... Raubahn: Grand Vizier Razfahd. I have an urgent report. Razfahd: Speak. Raubahn: There is news on the investigation... Razfahd: Very well. Razfahd: Aphmau, you may leave. Aphmau: Grand Vizier!? I am not done speaking with you! Razfahd: I don't have time for your childish antics right now. Aphmau: Childish...!? Aphmau: Me...!? Razfahd: Enough. Do as you are told. Aphmau: I despise you!!! Mnejing: You've let us down. Raubahn: Is everything alright, sir? Razfahd: She is much like her mother in her stubbornness... A firm hand will do her good. Raubahn: As you say, sir. The Immortals will keep a closer eye on her, should she don those clothes again. Razfahd: See that you do... Raubahn: Sir. Raubahn: My report concerns the investigation conducted after the mercenary's audience with the Empress. Raubahn: There are rumors circulating in Nashmau that mention the Ashu Talif and the pirate, Luzaf. Razfahd: Rumors? Started by the Qiqirn? Raubahn: Yes, sir. There is a degree of unreliability... Raubahn: It is said that the ghost ship has been seen docking in the Troll city of Halvung. Razfahd: What!? Razfahd: What can it mean? What connection could the Trolls have with the wandering spirits of corsairs...? Raubahn: I regret to report that we have no concrete evidence as of this time... Raubahn: However, there is one more thing. Raubahn: Amnaf. Amnaf: Sir... I bring news from the staging point in Halvung. Amnaf: Waudeen, the Immortal on duty, has made a report... Amnaf: There has been a sighting of Cerberus in Halvung. Razfahd: Cerberus? Razfahd: The three-headed hound that guards the gates of the underworld? That Cerberus? Amnaf: Yes, Grand Vizier. He is also known to have the role of hunter... Amnaf: ...to chase down souls that flee the realm of the dead...rend them with his terrible jaws, and return them to the underworld... Raubahn: There has been an endless stream of accounts from mercenaries dispatched to the area. Raubahn: At the very least, we can confirm that some creature resembling the legendary Cerberus is indeed in the vicinity. Razfahd: The guard dog of Hades, ghost ships, the Dark Rider... Razfahd: Heh. Razfahd: I almost wish to raise a toast in celebration. Razfahd: The cursed dead are gathering to hinder our grand plan. Razfahd: Which only proves our cause to be just, would you not agree? Raubahn: Wholeheartedly, sir. Razfahd: Do not relax your surveillance. Remember your assignments: the Halvung Moblins, Luzaf and his decrepit warship, that pseudo-ambassador from Windurst, our favorite mercenary, and most of all... Razfahd: ...the Empress. Falzum: I-I'm sorry! Falzum: I just...I can't... Falzum: It's beyond the base of the Halvung T-T-Troll Mercenaries... Falzum: Past the crevasses b-b-boiling with m-m-magma... Where the h-h-helldog Cerberus is said to stalk the tunnels... Falzum: I just heard so...from Cacaroon, the rumormonger... Falzum: E-e-even if I had a hundred lives... Falzum: ...I could never make it to that awful p-p-place! Naja Salaheem: Enough of your yammerin'! Falzum: I-I-I...! Naja Salaheem: Do you mean to sling mud on our good name as well!? Falzum: I-I-I don't want anything to do with m-m-mud! Or m-m-magma! Naja Salaheem: What are ya blabberin' about!? Naja Salaheem: If ya want to see volcanic errruptions, ya just keep tryin' my patience! Falzum: P-p-please! D-d-don't make me go! Naja Salaheem: Unbelievable... Naja Salaheem: I'm givin' ya this huge chance to prrrove yourself. Naja Salaheem: And all ya do is cause me headaches! Karababa: What a pitiful sight. Naja Salaheem: !!! King of Hearts: YeS, piTifUL*iNdeED. Karababa: Perhaps I should try another company, now that this has come to light. Naja Salaheem: Wait! Please! Naja Salaheem: A moment more of your time!!! Naja Salaheem: (Can't let my guard down for a second...) Naja Salaheem: Abquhbah!!! Abquhbah: Yes, m-m-ma'am!!! Naja Salaheem: Brrring me another mercenary rrright away. I don't care who it is! Abquhbah: Right...right now? Naja Salaheem: Are ya tryin' to make me rrrepeat myself!? Abquhbah: No, ma'am! Abquhbah: Urgh... Abquhbah stares at Player name... Abquhbah: (Player name! Would you go to the Navukgo Execution Chamber in Falzum's place?) Go to the Execution Chamber? A chance to redeem myself! <----- Chose this option! I don't like the sound of that... Abquhbah: We have Player name here. Go to the Execution Chamber? A chance to redeem myself! I don't like the sound of that... <----- Chose this option! Abquhbah: Look, if it isn't Player name! Naja Salaheem: Aha... Karababa: Oh. You again? King of Hearts: I SHarE*yoUR diStAste, LaDy*KaRabAbA. Karababa: Making these decisions is such a pain. King of Hearts: I couLD*nEvEr mAkE*suCH a*chOiCE! Naja Salaheem: Player name... You've got some nerve showin' your-- Karababa: I have decided to change my stance! I will give this mercenary one more chance! King of Hearts: ArE yoU *ceRTaiN oF*tHiS, LaDy*KaRabAbA? Karababa: (He/She will serve as my shield, should things go wrong.) Karababa: (If he/she can make it through to the destination, Qiqirn will hardly seem strong...) Karababa: I will settle for so-so! Ohohohoho! Falzum: Th-thank W-W-Walahra... King of Hearts: NavuKGo*ExEcuTioN*ChaMbeR. Do NoT*diSapPOinT uS. Naja Salaheem: If the client doesn't mind, then who am I to grrripe? Naja Salaheem: Don't ya be tellin' me you're too afrrraid to go as well! Naja Salaheem: Get your gear together, Player name, and prrresent yourself at the Navukgo Execution Chamber!

Shield of Diplomacy (pt.1) - Navukgo Execution Chamber
???: Well, paint me surprised. ???: Who woulda thought we'd find someone tough enough to make that hellhound fetch and roll over... ???: Right, Boss? Luzaf: You have my thanks. My crew can now rest easy for a time. Gurfurlur: Gwahaha. (No problem for Gurfurlur!) Megomak: He says, "Think nothing of it." Gurfurlur: (My soldiers never know defeat!) Megomak: He says, "My forces are always at your disposal." ???: Hee hee, hee hee. That's good to know. ???: That mad puppy chased 'em down even after they had broken free from the dead realm and disguised themselves as pirates. ???: Helps to have some bruisers like you on our side. Luzaf: Silence, Flit. You know nothing of our troubles. Flit: Hee hee. Right, I'll shut up now, Boss... Gurfurlur: (Do not fear... We have same enemy.) Gurfurlur: (Break Empire, steal back what they stole from us.) Megomak: He says, "If you swear to forfeit claim to the candescence on the eve of the Empire's destruction, we will honor our pact." Megomak: And the (treasure of the Empire), right? Luzaf: You will have both the candescence and the "treasure." Megomak: !!! Luzaf: We have no need for either. Flit: Are you sure, Boss? That candescence... Luzaf: Flit. What have I told you about the code of the corsair...? Flit: Absolute obedience to the captain! Oh...right. Shutting up again. Luzaf: Listen well. Luzaf: The Empire of Aht Urhgan... Luzaf: They will unflinchingly sacrifice their own people for the sake of the Empress... Luzaf: Eradicate any rebellion with ruthless force. Luzaf: It has always been this way. Then, and now... Luzaf: Our reward shall be the head of the Empress. Luzaf: That is all we require for our vengeance... Gurfurlur: (Is that all!? Give me ship. I destroy Empire. Take head of Empress!) Megomak: He says, "It's a deal! I bestow upon you this special weapon to mark the occasion..." Megomak: Well, perhaps Gurfurlur does not say that. But I offer this to you. Take it! Megomak: Or should I say, take it with you? Prince Luzaf: I need no weapons from you. Megomak: You don't understand. This is far superior to anything you possess. Flit: Hee hee. What are you tryin' to pull? Megomak: I offer you... Megomak: Khimaira 13! Luzaf: Khimaira...? Flit: What's a "khimaira"? Megomak: You...you've never heard of a khimaira? Megomak: There is a place... Megomak: A secret facility known as the "Hazhalm Testing Grounds." Megomak: In that place, forbidden alchemy was used to fuse different species of creature into entirely new monstrosities... Megomak: These artificial creations are known collectively as "chimera." The creature I offer to you is the original "khimaira" type. Megomak: Lamia, puk, merro, hydra, mandragora...and many others beyond counting were given life there. Megomak: It was a grand sanctuary of learning that attempted to approach the greatness of the gods themselves... Megomak: Isn't that a great story? Flit: So you're saying they mashed two monsters into one? Flit: How come you know so much about it, Mr. Moblin? Megomak: Why, because I've been there... Megomak: ...to steal an egg. Flit: Right. An egg... Megomak: It may be more accurate to call it a seed of life. Flit: Seed...of life? Megomak: I'm no stranger to advanced alchemy. I wanted to make my own... Megomak: My own chimera... And start a business dealing in organic weapons. Megomak: Isn't it magnificent? Flit: Um, the boss already left. Flit: He said he doesn't do business with creeps who mess with creation. Or somethin' like that. Megomak: He what!? How could you turn down such an impressive specimen? Gurfurlur: (Intruders!) Flit: !	This article is missing a video of the battle, mission, or quest.

Shield of Diplomacy (pt.2) - Navukgo Execution Chamber
Megomak: What do you want? Karababa: That's no way to greet your guests. Karababa: We didn't come all the way down here to be treated like pests! Gurfurlur: (Gurfurlur kill these?) Megomak: No! No! Megomak: (These people are my guests.) Megomak: I remember now. You are the scholar from the Middle Lands who was interested in the egg. King of Hearts: MiDdLe*LaNds? King of Hearts: LaDy*KaRabAbA iS a*doCToR kNoWn*aLL oVEr VaNa*diEL! Megomak: What have we here? Some form of arcana...? Megomak: You are no alchemist. What do you want with the egg? Karababa: You need details for a black market trade? The deal is done and made. Megomak: As you wish. Megomak: People have been talking of a Windurstian ambassador come to Al Zahbi... Karababa: ... Megomak: But what does it matter? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You have what I asked for? Karababa: Bring out the chest... Gurfurlur: (This for Gurfurlur?) Megomak: (Put it down and back away!) Gurfurlur: (You forget. Gurfurlur stronger than Moblin...) Megomak: Sheesh. You can't buy good help these days. Greedy Trolls... Karababa: Now the formalities are complete, I'll take my egg, all nice and neat. Megomak: Of course... Megomak: Take it... But I warn you: the egg has become quite a handful! Megomak: Rend their flesh, Khimaira 13!	This article is missing a video of the battle, mission, or quest. You can help by adding it.
