The Three Kingdoms - Heavens Tower
Kupipi: Welcome to Heavens Tower. Are you the adventurer who came for your mission orders?
Kupipi: ...You're rank 2?
Kupipi: Oh, I know I shouldn't...but you di~d complete the Rhinostery mission...
Kupipi: And if you were good enough to do that, then I gue~ss you can handle the next one.
Semih Lafihna: And you are...
Kupipi: Do you know Lady Semih Lafihna?
Semih Lafihna: Kupipi, what business does he/she have here?
Kupipi: He/She is here to accept his/her next mission from Heavens Tower...but he's/she's still only rank 2.
Semih Lafihna: I don't need the details, Kupipi. Show me his/her file.
Semih Lafihna: This is a nice resume. It seems as if you fight betterrr than you look.
Semih Lafihna: ...And it also seems today is not your day.
Semih Lafihna: Kupipi. Process this adventurer's mission paperrrs.
Semih Lafihna: Relay his/her orders to him/her and give him/her a letter to the consuls.
Kupipi: Umm... 
Uh... Understood!
Semih Lafihna: (*If you created your character in Windurst and received the initial cutscene with Semih) I didn't think we would meet again so soon.
Semih Lafihna: I can sense many good things within you. Let's see how you manage this new task.
Semih Lafihna: Kupipi. I'll leave the rest to you.
Kupipi: Yes, now where was I...?
Kupipi: According to the pact constructed by the three countries, Windurst is allowed a consulate in both Bastok and San d'Oria.
Kupipi: Your next mission is to travel to the consulates in these two countries and gather any information you can. Which country you travel to first is up to you.
Kupipi: You may receive various tasks from them, so use that as a means of gathering useful information.
Kupipi: When you have learned something interesting, return back here to Windurst with your report.
Kupipi: The quickest way to get to either of the two countries is by the ferry that departs from Mhaura.
Kupipi: Do you have a~ny questions?
:A~ny questions?
::I got it the first time.
::Could you go over that one more time?
Kupipi: Yes, now where was I...?

Kupipi: Don't forget that Windurst is a neutral country set on maintaining peace.
Kupipi: No matter what you are told in those other countries, you must remember that Windurst is not about to get involved in another Great War.

The Three Kingdoms (pt.1) - Metalworks
Patt-Pott: Oh, you're the adventurer with the letter of introduction, yes?
Patt-Pott: It's good of you to come. 
It must've been a long journey, riding a boat to a faraway place like this.
Patt-Pott: I studied hard to become a consul, hoping I'd be waited on by cutesy-wutesy secretaries, but my fate was to be delegated to this neck of the woods...
Patt-Pott: Oh! I'm sorry-worry! 
Don't tell anyone I said that, please?
Patt-Pott: I mean, you can't blame me--I'm surrounded by musky Humes and scary Galka instead of cutesy...uh, you know.
Patt-Pott: Oh, Mih Ketto? 
We have a guest here. Shouldn't you be serving tea?
Mih Ketto: What tea? We ran out of tea months ago!
Patt-Pott: Then why haven't you refilled our stock? 
How many times have I told you...
Moyoyo: Uh...sir? 
Would you like me to go out and buy some?
Patt-Pott: Hmm, well... 
Now that you mention it, I don't remember seeing anyone selling tea here...
Patt-Pott: Hmm? You don't care about tea, you say? You want to hear about the mission? Oh, bother...
Patt-Pott: I'm sorry, as greasing people's...I mean, trying to make people happy-snappy has become a habit. It's part of the job.
Patt-Pott: Anyway, here's what you have to do...
Uh... That is... Let's see...
Patt-Pott: Topuru-Kuperu! What was it we were supposed to ask?
Topuru-Kuperu: Huh? What? 
Did you call me, sir?
Patt-Pott: Oh! There you are! 
You were making yourself so small I didn't see you!
Patt-Pott: The mission, man, the mission! 
You know, for the adventurer from Windurst!
Patt-Pott: I know how homesick you are, but I expect you to do your share while you're here!
Topuru-Kuperu: Uh...I think it had...something to do with going to the Palborough Mines, sir...
Topuru-Kuperu: Oh...I remember now. 
We need some refined ore.
Patt-Pott: What? Is that really something we should be asking a great adventurer from Windurst to do? 
And the Palborough Mines are infested with Quadav, too!
Topuru-Kuperu: Beg your pardon, sir, but...I think it's our pretext for studying Bastokan technology, sir...
Topuru-Kuperu: But first, the adventurer is to meet with Sir Pius in the President's Office...
Patt-Pott: Ah, yes! Pius--Sir Pius. I think we've had dinner once...or perhaps it was brunch?
Patt-Pott: No matter. To work, then! 
Good luck! Come back when you're done!
The Three Kingdoms (pt.2) - Metalworks
Grohm: Hm? What do you want? 
Hey, you're not from Bastok, are you?
Grohm: What!? You're Windurstian, and you listened to what a Bastokan official told you to do?
Grohm: Hah! I have no idea why that Hume sent you here...or why your consulate sent you to him in the first place.
Grohm: You better listen good. A lot of us died trying to win the Palborough Mines back from the Quadav...
Grohm: It might not matter to a foreigner like you, but they always send us Galka to do the dirty work!
Grohm: What gets me the most is that they don't even think about it twice! 
Even if you haven't been here long, you must've seen how they treat us.
Grohm: Never mind. Shouting at you won't change anything. 
You wanted to know about refining ore, right? It's easy, but you have to remember the steps.
Grohm: Here goes: 
1. Get a chunk of mine gravel. 
2. Put that into the upper part of the refiner. 
3. Take the onz of mythril sand out of the lower part of the refiner.
Grohm: You can either buy a chunk of mine gravel from someone, or get some by using a pickaxe on a mythril seam inside Palborough.
Grohm: The refining machine is so big, its upper and lower sections are on different floors. 
Put a chunk of mine gravel into it on the third floor, and it'll produce an onz of mythril sand on the second floor.
Grohm: I know it sounds simple, but it's not. You've got the Quadav to deal with, and they're everywhere.
Grohm: Here, take these pickaxes. 
Good luck. You're gonna need it.
Lion: Hey, you're an adventurer, right? From another country?
Lion: Sorry, I couldn't help but eavesdrop. 
I'm going to the Palborough Mines, too.
Lion: Don't worry, I won't get in your way. 
I don't think we're going after the same thing anyway.
Lion: At least, for now.
Lion: But you shouldn't think your mission is just a mine survey.
Lion: The beastmen seem to have found a new leader, and the Quadav are getting more powerful with each passing day. There could be another war...
Lion: Oh, there's one thing you should know. Do you know why the Quadav took the Palborough Mines?
Lion: Humes claim that the Quadav stole the mines from them, but in reality, the mines are the Quadav's home...no, their holy land.
Lion: The Quadav would rather die than lose it. But the Humes in Bastok don't know, and they don't care to know.
Lion: Well, it's time for me to go. Oh, and my name is Lion. I'm an adventurer, like you. I'll be seeing you around.
The Three Kingdoms (pt.3) - Metalworks
Patt-Pott: Ah, an onz of mythril sand! 
Good job! Good job! 
Tell Topuru-Kuperu what you've seen.
Patt-Pott: We'll return this onz of mythril sand to the government of Bastok after we've studied it.
Patt-Pott: So you were able to enter a beastman-infested area, perform your mission, and still manage to come back in one piece. Extaruordinary!
Topuru-Kuperu: What? 
Oh, right. I guess so, sir.
Patt-Pott: Oh, let me guess--you were thinking about Windurst again, weren't you? 
Snap out of it, man! You have work to do!
Topuru-Kuperu: <Sigh> Windurst...
Patt-Pott: Well, you can't say I didn't try. 
Ah--but you will report that all of us are working exceptionally hard here, yes?
Patt-Pott: You're off to San d'Oria now, aren't you? 
Have a safe and pleasant trip!
The Rank 2 Final Mission (pt.1) - Horlais Peak
Vauderame: It doesn't look like you've found what you're looking for here either.
Rochefogne: Yes, I thought that the Orcs may have had the sword, but I guess I was wrong.
Vauderame: But, what is this...this...this feeling of unrest?
Spotter: Arise, Wyrm of Darkness, Devourer of Light! I command you, smite my enemies where they stand!
Vauderame: ...!?
Rochefogne: What is that!?
Vauderame: Watch yourself. I've never seen any monster like this before.
Spotter: Heh-heh-heh... I'm so glad you could come. I didn't realize that my little deception would be so effective.
Spotter: You don't even realize what is playing out before your own eyes. However, that is of no matter, since this is the last thing you will ever see.
Vauderame: It's just like you said, Rochefogne. There is something bigger lurking behind the Orcs.
Rochefogne: Wait, Vauderame. It looks like we have a visitor.
Vauderame: An adventurer? 
Excellent. We have the perfect job for him/her.
Vauderame: A fight with no gain is a fight for fools. 
Let us leave this battle for the adventurer and continue on.
Spotter: Well, it seems the two have run off. 
That makes no difference, because new prey awaits. 
Wyrm of Darkness, unleash your fury on those who stand in your presence.
The Rank 2 Final Mission (pt.2) - Horlais Peak
Spotter: This...this cannot be! Defeated...by these weaklings!?
Lion: Looks like I missed the show.
Lion: Hey, wait a minute. This dragon...
Lion: No doubt about it, it's a nether beast from the cursed Northlands! What's it doing here!?
Lion: We've not seen their kind since we destroyed the Shadow Lord and sealed the Northlands...
Lion: To see one here, with the beastmen, it's as if...
Spotter: The dark one will soon return to this world. I was merely preparing his return...
Lion: What? Who are you!?
Spotter: I am Spotter, servant to the Shadow Lord. The "Great Hero" who saved you twenty years ago is gone; none can defeat my lord now!
Spotter: While your people were squabbling amongst themselves, we have been preparing for his return.
Spotter: And when he comes...he will destroy you all!
Spotter: Enjoy your lives, while they last... Foolish...weaklings... Hah-hah-hah...
Lion: The Shadow Lord is back! War will come again!
Lion: Our days will be filled with hatred and sorrow.
Lion: Player name, you must go back and report on what happened here. If the Shadow Lord truly has returned, our prospects are dire indeed.
Lion: I am off. Until we meet again, Player name!

The Rank 2 Final Mission (pt.1) - Waughroon Shrine
Seeker: Heh-heh-heh... I'm so glad you could come. 
I didn't realize that little rumor I spread would be so effective.
Seeker: Yes, I'm the "new leader" of the beastmen! 
I will lead the beastman hordes on a grand campaign to rid the world of you and your kind!
Seeker: The day of reckoning will come, and the beastmen will be the ones to rule this world! 
Ah, but you won't be there to see it...
Seeker: Because you will already be dead!
Seeker: Arise, Wyrm of Darkness, Devourer of Light! 
I command you--smite my enemies where they stand!
Ayame: First, the beastmen and now this...quite a mission this is turning out to be.
Ayame: But there is only one way to end it!
The Rank 2 Final Mission (pt.2) - Waughroon Shrine
Seeker: This...this cannot be! 
Me, defeated...by these weaklings!?
Lion: Oops, I guess I missed the show.
Lion: Hey, wait a minute. This dragon...
Lion: No doubt about it, it's a nether beat from the Northlands! 
What's it doing here!?
Lion: Their kind haven't been seen ever since the Shadow Lord was destroyed and the Northlands sealed...
Lion: To see one here, with the beastmen, it's as if...
Seeker: The Shadow Lord will soon be brought back to this world. 
I was merely making preparations for His return...
Lion: What!? 
Who are you!?
Seeker: I am Seeker, a servant of the Shadow Lord. 
The "Great Hero" that saved you twenty years ago is gone--none have the power to defeat Him now. 
Seeker: While your people were busy squabbling with each other, we have been preparing for His return.
Seeker: And when He comes...He will destroy you all!
Seeker: Enjoy your lives...while they last... 
Foolish...weaklings... Hah hah...hah...
Lion: The Shadow Lord...is coming back... 
There's going to be another war...
Lion: Our days will be filled with hatred and sorrow once more...
Ayame: And I call myself a Musketeer... 
That I would let myself be hit like that...
Ayame: Thank you for helping me. 
I am Ayame, of the Mythril Musketeers. 
I would be dead were it not for you...
Ayame: We'd received reports of strange beastman activity in this area, so I was sent here to investigate. 
I didn't expect to run into...that.
Ayame: I must go back and report. 
We'll meet again, adventurer. 
May you travel safely.
The Three Kingdoms - Bastok Metalworks, Windurstian Consul
Patt-Pott: Ah, welcome back! I see you're still in one piece!
Patt-Pott: Topuru-Kuperu will write down your report. Tell him what you've seen!
You tell Topuru-Kuperu the events that took place.
Patt-Pott: Oh, my! Is that true!? Oh, my! Oh, my!
Patt-Pott: It's simply amazing that you could run into such a monster, and not be pounded into adventurer soup! Don't you think so, Topuru-Kuperu?
Topuru-Kuperu: What? Oh, right. I guess so, sir.
Patt-Pott: Oh, let me guess--you were thinking about Windurst again, weren't you? Snap out of it, man! You have work to do!
Topuru-Kuperu: <Sigh> Windurst...
Patt-Pott: Well, you can't say I didn't try. Ah--but you will report that all of us are working exceptionally hard here, yes?
Patt-Pott: Since you've visited both San d'Oria and Bastok, you may now make your triumphant return to Windurst! Oh, and tell everyone we said hi!
