Mnaago 	Because I've got other skills! Need I remind you I'm one of the finest hunters this tribe has ever seen? And speak for yourself! I don't remember you being a master culinarian!
 	
Alisaie 	...How long has it been since we saw Father? Maybe Alphinaud and I ought to visit Sharlayan.
 	
Lyse 	So if your mother's food is so good, why are you such a terrible cook? Honestly, you've got to get her to teach you the basics while we're here.
 	
Alphinaud 	I trust you are well rested and refreshed, yes? Then let us return to the front.
Alphinaud 	The greater part of the Alliance forces should have advanced into the Peaks by now, but I expect we will pass many of our comrades on the road east.
Alphinaud 	There is a checkpoint along the way, as I recall, but we will need only to identify ourselves to the soldiers in order to pass.
 	
Alliedrecruit 	Scions! A pleasure to have you with us again.
Alliedrecruit 	You'll be happy to hear we've taken Ala Ghiri, and have already begun fortifying it as our new base of operations in the Peaks. Give a shout to the lads as you pass, eh?
 	
Alisaie 	The imperials sure do like their towers, don't they?
 	
Lyse 	My village─the one we visited with Meffrid─is far to the north. There's no easy way to get to it from here, though...
 	
Alphinaud 	Through the pass and onward to the southeast, was it?
 	
Raubahn 	Well met, Sci─ Wait, where are the rest of you?
 	
Pipin 	Everything appears to be in order. Very good, very good...
 	
Conrad 	Enjoy your time with M'naago and her kin? Aye, that's what I want to hear. Too many soldiers forget the importance of time away from all this.
 	
serpent officer	On behalf of the Elder Seedseer, I thank you for your swift and decisive action against the primal menace. We are not unaware of the danger it posed to our fair nation.
 	
storm officer 	The imperials underestimated us once, and they paid dearly for it. They may not be so easily deceived next time─but if we cannot fool them, we will simply have to break them!
 	
Mnaago 	As you can see, this part of the Peaks is much higher than the northern reaches, hence why the imperials built Specula Imperatoris where they did.
Mnaago 	See those three towers to the east? That's her. Sits right on the edge of a cliff, so attacking from the north is a fool's errand. From the south, on the other hand, she's no different from any other imperial installation.
Mnaago 	You see now why Velodyna was so important, eh? Right, then. Come along─they're waiting for us in Ala Ghiri.
 	
Alisaie 	The settlement is remarkably intact. I see little evidence of fighting...
 	
Lyse 	Ala Ghiri's famous for that giant crystal. Some say Rhalgr Himself put it there.
 	
Alphinaud 	Ala Ghiri was once a hub of trade and commerce, as I recall, hence the need for a large central square.
 	
Mnaago 	Here we are. The new base of operations for the Alliance and the Resistance!
Raubahn 	Ah, there you are!
Alphinaud 	Greetings, General. I see you have been quite busy in our absence.
Raubahn 	Less than you may imagine. The imperials fled at our coming, and we took the village without a fight.
Raubahn 	Your timing is impeccable. We were about to discuss our strategy to seize Specula Imperatoris.
Alphinaud 	Though we are fresh from the road, we should be glad to attend.
Raubahn 	Good. Take a moment to gather yourselves, and join us when you are ready.
