These Things Take Time

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Maenne's scouts have reported several locations that appear to have been host to ancient battles, and have been tasked with obtaining readings of the sites' aetheric levels. However, the scouts scarce have the time to take accurate readings on account of the dragons stalking the area. Maenne asks you to help the scouts and bids you meet the scouting party near Sothton Walls. Speak with the southern scouting party dragoon to see what he requires.
* The diresaurs that hulk about the area are proving to be a nuisance, preventing the scouting party from securely setting up their aetherometers. Distract them and slay three of the beasts so the dragoons can set up the aetherometers undistracted.
* Your fight against the diresaurs provides much-needed exercise for you, and a much-needed distraction to the beleaguered dragoons. Return to the scouting party dragoon and confirm that they were able to safely set up their aetherometers.
* The dragoons were able to set up the aetherometers without incident, and express some regret that they are unable to see you fight for longer.
==Objectives==
* Speak with the southern scouting party dragoon.
* Slay diresaurs.
* Report to the southern scouting party dragoon.

Airportinvestigator01871	Our scouts have discovered sites that seem to have been host to ancient battles. To imagine the carnage that must have been wrought there...
Maenne 	[Player Name], while you were assisting our scouts to the northeast, two locations were discovered to the west that appear to be ancient battlefields. I think these would be ideal places to take aetheric measurements.
Maenne 	I've sent scouts to each location already, but the ever-present threat of attack makes it difficult for them to obtain accurate readings. Please, [Player Name], ensure their safety whilst they perform their duties.
Maenne 	Head to Sothton Walls first, and meet with my scout. He'll let you know what's required of you.
 	
Maenne 	My scout to the west will tell you what aid we require.
Southinvestigator01879 	Ah, [Player Name], Maenne sent word of your arrival. Your strength shall prove to be a tremendous help to our work.
Southinvestigator01879 	This area is crawling with diresaurs, making it impossible to set up the aetherometers to obtain accurate readings.
Southinvestigator01879 	We need you to provide a distraction while we set up the aetherometers. If you slay three of them that should provide us ample time.
 	
Southinvestigator01879 	It shouldn't take long to finish setting up the aetherometers; we should be done by the time you slay three of them!
 	
Southinvestigator01879 	Roar and gnash their teeth as they might, the diresaurs were no match for the likes of you. We managed to set up the aetherometers without incident─although I must admit it would've been a treat to see you fight for a bit longer.
