The Spirit Is Willing

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* In order to train you to deal with immense foes, Hamon bids you challenge the toxic toads that nest at the Unholy Heir. As proof of this feat, you are required to obtain five toad legs.
* You have obtained five toad legs. Present them to Hamon, who awaits you at Black Brush Station.
* You learn that an illicit drug called somnus is being smuggled into Ul'dah via Black Brush Station. Instead of the lesson he had planned, Hamon bids you track down and apprehend the smugglers. Begin by gathering information from the people of the station.
* You have acquired sufficient information on the smugglers. Report your findings to Hamon.
* In all likelihood, the smugglers are operating out of an abandoned Qiqirn lair west of the Coffer & Coffin. Make your way to the lair, and there lie in wait for the criminals.
* To everyone's surprise, it turns out that one of the smugglers is in fact Rurukuta, the missing pugilist. Upon discovering that his master had grown feeble, Rurukuta became disillusioned and decided to leave the guild. Speak with your guildmaster and learn his side of the story.
* Beaten and despondent, Hamon admits that the ravages of age have robbed him of his former ability. There seems to be nothing you can do for your guildmaster at the moment. For now, make your way back to the guild, and discuss matters further with Chuchuto.
* Despite having learned the truth of Hamon's condition, Chuchuto does not respect him any less. Determined to help her master and benefactor regain his former strength, she asks for your aid. Keep applying yourself to your training, that your improvement might rekindle the fires of passion within the guildmaster.※The next pugilist quest will be available from Hamon upon reaching level 20.

* Gather information at Black Brush Station.
* Report to Hamon.
* Lie in wait at the designated location.

Hamon 	Ah, there you are, [Player Name]! I hope you've come prepared for a lesson. Today, I want you to go and fight the toxic toads that nest at the Unholy Heir.
 	
Hamon 	Make no mistake, lass/son─these toads are huge, which means they have huge guts. But that's beside the point. The point is, you'll need to use your head to overcome them.
 	
Hamon 	Thanks to their immense girth, these toads hit hard. Fortunately, they tend to hit wild as well, so bide your time and wait for an opening. And when that opening shows...thwack! Rip and tear through your foe with your fists!
Hamon 	As proof that you've defeated the toads, I want you to bring me five of their legs. Chuchuto and I will be waiting for you at Black Brush Station. Your lesson continues there.
 	
Hamon 	Defeat the toxic toads that nest at the Unholy Heir, and bring me five of their legs. Chuchuto and I will be waiting for you at Black Brush Station.
 	
Chuchuto 	I'm taking part in today's lesson as well. Good luck to the both of us!
 	
Hamon 	So, did you bring me the toad legs?
 	
Hamon 	Aye, this is the stuff all right! <slurp> Now, I just need some butter, a slice of sun lemon, and a pinch of─
 	
Chuchuto 	Um...Master?
Hamon 	...Ahem. What I meant to say was, you've done well to defeat the toxic toads, [Player Name]. For the next part of your lesson, you'll be putting your endurance to the test against─
 	
Nanajapi 	<gasp> The talk was true! Hamon Holyfist is really here!
Hamon 	Hah hah hah! I can take nary a step outside the guild without being flocked by fans. Such is the price of fame!
Nanajapi 	Please, sir! I have grave need of your legendary skills! Somnus is being smuggled through Black Brush Station! I reported this to the Brass Blades and the Stone Torches─asked them to put an end to it─but they both turn a blind eye!
 	
Chuchuto 	Somnus... That's the mind-warping substance made from dream flowers. Those who overindulge are said to fall into an eternal slumber.
Nanajapi 	A dear friend suffered that very fate─that's why I want to put an end to the smuggling. But I'm just an ordinary person, and there's precious little I can do...
 	
Hamon 	Hah hah hah! You've done enough to bring word to me, friend. For as surely as Hamon Holyfist is my name, I'll see the smuggler scum thrown in the dungeon before the bell is through!
Nanajapi 	Twelve bless you, sir! You truly are a hero to us all!
Hamon 	Hah hah hah! Slight change of plans, [Player Name]. In place of the endurance test, we're going to find and apprehend the smugglers.
Hamon 	But first, we must gather information. You two, find out what you can from the people of Black Brush Station. Report back once you've learned something.
 	
Hamon 	Find out what you can from the people of Black Brush Station. Report back once you've learned something.
 	
Zuzumeda 	Searching for somnus smugglers, you say? Word is they are associated with the Alacran, a coalition of cold-blooded criminals. But beware─they always act in alliance!
 	
Osbert 	There is an abandoned Qiqirn lair a short distance west of the Coffer & Coffin. Decent folk tend to give that place a wide berth. Ideal for a smuggling operation, wouldn't you say?
 	
Chuchuto 	It appears a silver-haired Lalafell was seen skulking about the station recently. He was headed west, bearing a suspicious burden...
 	
Chuchuto 	A silver-haired Lalafell... It couldn't possibly be him...could it?
 	
Hamon 	The Alacran, a likely hideout, and a silver-haired Lalafell... I don't like the sound of this. Not one bit.
Hamon 	Like as not, the smugglers operate out of the abandoned Qiqirn lair west of the Coffer & Coffin. We'll lie in wait for them there.

Chuchuto 	The silver-haired Lalafell─I must see who he is with my own eyes. Let us go to the abandoned Qiqirn lair!
 	
Hamon 	Thal's balls! Th-That's...
Zantou 	Gahaha... We've really outdone ourselves this time. Master Weggfarr's bound to be pleased.
Rurukuta 	Save the talk. We have crates to move.
Chuchuto 	Rurukuta! It is you, isn't it!?
Rurukuta 	Chuchuto...and Master. It's been a while.
Chuchuto 	You vanish from the guild with nary a word, and we find you here smuggling somnus with those villains!? What is the meaning of this!?
 	
Hamon 	Rurukuta, my boy. I didn't teach you how to fight so that you could become a pox on society. My student or no, you must be held accountable.
Hamon 	Chuchuto, [Player Name], your lesson begins! Apprehend the smugglers!
Rurukuta 	You lot, take care of these meddlers!
Zantou 	Hamon Holyfist!? Just our luck...
Hamon 	If you know who I am, then you'll know what's good for you. Come quietly, or there will be trouble.
Rurukuta 	Holyfist? Don't make me laugh! You're being fooled, all of you!
Chuchuto 	Who's fooling who? What in the world are you talking about?
 	
Rurukuta 	It was a dark night several moons ago. I was out in the wilds, training alone.
Rurukuta 	From a distance, I caught sight of Master leaving the tavern and turning for the city. Thinking to accompany him back, I followed on his heels, and was about to call out when I...when I saw...this.
 	
Hamon 	Hm? You would challenge the Holyfist? You have fighting spirit, I'll grant you that, but you'd do well to know your limits.
Hamon 	So be it! Yaaarrrgh!
Chuchuto 	M-Master?
Hamon 	<huff> <puff> You read my every move... You're no ordinary marmot...
Chuchuto 	Master!!!
Hamon 	<gasp> All I wanted...was to be surrounded by scantily clad maidens...when my time came... <sigh> The gods are cruel...
Chuchuto 	Master! What is the meaning of this!? Explain yourself!
Rurukuta 	Now you've seen it with your own eyes! Master was beaten by a marmot─a common bleeding marmot! He would remind us how strong he was at every turn, but he was lying through his teeth!
Zantou 	Gahaha! I can scarce believe my eyes! Wait till Master Weggfarr learns of this!
 	
Hamon 	Forgive me, Chuchuto, [Player Name]... I didn't mean to deceive anyone...least of all my students.
 	
Hamon 	Hamon Holyfist conquered every foe that stood before him, but he couldn't conquer old age. My strength, my reflexes, my endurance─they've all left me. There's nothing here but a decrepit old man.
 	
Hamon 	I would be alone for a while. I'll make my own way back to the guild. From now on, you're to do as Chuchuto bids, [Player Name].
Chuchuto 	I can't believe it... When─how did Master become so weak?
Hamon 	I would be alone for a while. I'll make my own way back to the guild. From now on, you're to do as Chuchuto bids, [Player Name].
 	
Chuchuto 	I've been doing some thinking, [Player Name]. While 'tis true that Master had been deceiving us, he meant us no harm.
Chuchuto 	Besides, I owe him my life. Had he not taken me in all those years ago, I would have died in some ditch. I could never bring myself to hate him. Even if he were an ordinary old man, I would still respect him.
Chuchuto 	Alas, with the truth of his condition revealed, Master Hamon has lost his sense of purpose─his will to teach. I cannot bear to see him like this. I want him to regain his confidence, but for this he needs to regain his former strength.
 	
Chuchuto 	Listen, [Player Name]. Master ever said that you remind him of his younger self. Were you to continue showing rapid improvement, I dare to hope that it would rekindle his fighting spirit.
Chuchuto 	To this end, I will teach you a new technique, one which Master Hamon used to great effect his prizefighting days.
Chuchuto 	Fists of Earth, it's called, and with it you can shore up your defenses to be as unyielding as the earth itself.
Chuchuto 	Make this technique your own, [Player Name], and strive to grow stronger still. When next Master Hamon beholds you, he will surely be moved to action!
