Victory in Peril

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Ghimthota is convinced that a gang of treacherous pirates aims to sabotage the construction of the Victory. Speak with either Urswyrst at the front gate or C'nangho at the rear gate to learn of any suspicious activity.
* You have spoken with one of the guards and heard a report concerning a possible saboteur. Make your way to the cliff at Empty Heart and learn what trouble is afoot.
* You have confronted the suspicious sailor, and he leaves you with words that send a chill down your spine. Hurry back to the Drydocks and report to Ghimthota.
* You have succeeded in preventing the destruction of the Victory. It has come to light, however, that the leader of the pirates, Ahtzapfyn, is actually Ahtbyrm's father. Speak with the troubled foreman, and see how he fares.
* Though he puts on a brave face, it is clear that Ahtbyrm is deeply shaken by his father's unexpected appearance. Return to Ghimthota and convey Ahtbyrm's gratitude and apologies.
* Ghimthota appears convinced that a swift return to work on the Victory will soon ease Ahtbyrm's troubled heart. The watch captain thanks you for your assistance, and mentions that the would-be saboteurs have been handed over to the Yellowjackets. There has, however, been an important discovery that she would like to discuss with you.
==Objectives==
* Speak with one of the guards.
* Find the shifty-eyed sailor.
* Report to Ghimthota at the Moraby Drydocks.
* Speak with Ahtbyrm.
* Speak with Ghimthota.

Ghimthota 	I am concerned, [Player Name]. It appears that the pirates I had you investigate are on the move.
Ghimthota 	They creep ever closer to the Drydocks, so I must assume they mean to target the Victory herself.
Ghimthota 	That ship is the symbol of everything Limsa Lominsa strives to become, and I will not allow these base scoundrels to lay a single finger upon her hull.
Ghimthota 	We must apprehend them before they put their plans into motion! And you, [Player Name], are just the woman/man to do it.
Ghimthota 	Without your capable assistance, I fear the security of the Drydocks cannot be guaranteed.
Ghimthota 	Not moments ago, my guards submitted reports of suspicious activity in the area. Pray begin your efforts by listening to one of their accounts firsthand.
Ghimthota 	It matters not whom you choose to speak with, but be sure to question either Urswyrst at the front gate or C'nangho at the rear.
Ghimthota 	Any suspect saboteurs you encounter during the course of your investigation are to be interrogated. Report any and all findings directly to me.
 	
Urswyrst 	Ghimthota sent you to follow up on my report?
Urswyrst 	Well, it was not too long ago that I saw some unsavory sort slinking along the top of the bluff near Empty Heart, just over yonder.
Urswyrst 	It may be that he's still about. If you've got the time, adventurer, I'd much appreciate you getting up there to take a look.
 	
Cnangho 	Hail, adventurer. Glad to have another hand aboard to help shore up security.
Cnangho 	The gods know our reports would sit on Ghimthota's desk gathering dust if it weren't for the assistance of those such as yourself.
Cnangho 	Speaking of reports, though, I saw one of those mangy pirates lurking around the cliff near Empty Heart. I'd take a closer look before he has a chance to cover his tracks.
 	
Corsairfollowa 	Bah, spotted me, did ye? Well, yer too late─what's to 'appen is already 'appenin'.
 	
Ghimthota 	So, you found me one of those pirates, did you?
Ghimthota 	I knew you were the right adventurer to ask for aid.
Ghimthota 	But what could these knaves be planning? “What's to happen is already happening”...?
Maelstrom 	Captain! Ungh... Trouble...at the shipyard... <pant>
Ghimthota 	Easy now, soldier. Who did this to you?
Maelstrom 	<pant> Pirates... Out of nowhere... <cough> Stuck me good...
Ghimthota 	Gods below, we are not prepared for this!
Ghimthota 	The pirates, soldier, how many do they number?
Maelstrom 	Not sure... More than I could quickly count... Seemed to be carrying...explosives...
Ghimthota 	Explosives!? Then there is no time to lose!
Ghimthota 	[Player Name], you heard the situation. Make your way to the shipyard and engage these intruders!
Ghimthota 	I will see to this man's wounds, then follow after.
Ghimthota 	Make haste, now!
 	
Ahtzapfyn 	Gahahaha! Never reckoned it'd be this easy! Still don't trust those slimy bastards, but their plan worked like a charm!
Ahtbyrm 	Da! What are you doing, you great bloody fool!?
Ahtzapfyn 	Shut yer trap, boy.
Ahtzapfyn 	This'll all be over soon. All that's left now is to blow this ugly pile o' driftwood into splinters.
Ahtbyrm 	Why would you do such a thing!? Have you any idea how important this ship is? What it represents?
Ahtzapfyn 	Aye, an' that's what makes it all the sweeter! Whatever it takes to knock some sense into me treacherous, backstabbin' son!
Ahtzapfyn 	Imagine, a boy o' mine givin' up the pirate life to become a shipwright! An' buildin' a bleedin' Maelstrom vessel at that! What under Llymlaen's wide, green ocean made ye take up with these self-righteous shites!?
Ahtbyrm 	You're the one with no bloody sense, Da! Don't you see? The pirates had their glory days, but that era is over!
 	
Ghimthota 	Ah! I wondered why Ahtbyrm never spoke of his father. I never would have thought...
Ahtzapfyn 	This ship's a symbol alright─of everythin' what went wrong with the world. An' I mean to shatter it into a hunnerd thousand pieces!
None 	Ghimthota! [Player Name]! Pray beat the tar out of this bloated sea slug, and make sure no harm comes to the Victory!
 	
Ahtzapfyn 	I...I must be gettin' old, lettin' some green 'venturer get the best o' me.
Ahtbyrm 	Da...
Ahtzapfyn 	<cough> That's one big bloody ship. Big...an' nasty lookin'. Ye made that, did ye...?
 	
Ahtbyrm 	My thanks, [Player Name]. I shudder to think what may have become of the Victory without your intervention.
Ahtbyrm 	<sigh> The pirates have made a right mess of things─I'd best get to sorting out the docks.
Ahtbyrm 	...And my thoughts could use some sorting out as well. Ever did my father have a way of turning my life upside down.
Ahtbyrm 	Pray convey my thanks─and my apologies─to Ghimthota.
 	
Ghimthota 	How fare you, [Player Name]? I cannot begin to thank you for the role you played in preventing this madness.
Ghimthota 	You defended more than a simple ship─you saved the budding hope of Limsa Lominsa from a violent demise. The day was yours.
Ghimthota 	It seems our security regimen will require much in the way of improvement if we are to truly keep the Drydocks safe.
Ghimthota 	...Ahtbyrm apologizes? Well, I suppose I can understand why he would feel responsible for his father's actions. Of all those involved, this incident was hardest on him.
Ghimthota 	But, in time, I believe he will come to a single conclusion: the most fitting way of moving past his anguish is to see the Victory completed and in the water.
Ghimthota 	Ah, by the by, the pirates we defeated have been handed over to the Yellowjackets. Reyner's men will be taking over the investigation.
Ghimthota 	Before the Yellowjackets moved in, however, we recovered a most unusual object. Should you have the time to spare, I would ask of you another favor...
