Oh Captain, My Captain

}}
 is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Fufulupa has accidentally overheard Merilda's tale regarding the bandits and their plans to obtain Nashachite stolen from Copperbell Mines. Before you can stop him, the Brass Blade runs to tell his supervising officer─who, unbeknownst to Fufulupa, is cooperating with the bandits. Find Captain Baldewyn before Fufulupa does!
* You arrive too late to prevent Fufulupa from confronting his captain, and are forced to battle the corrupt officer and his bandit ally. Baldewyn remains defiant even after you defeat him, until the disgraced Captain Leofric reveals that Baldewyn was in fact operating without Lord Lolorito's knowledge and will therefore face severe punishment for his crimes. Return to Horizon and speak with Fufulupa when next you have an opportunity.
* Due to the events at the Footfalls, Baldewyn has been stripped of his rank, leaving the Brass Blades of the Rose without a captain. For now, Fufulupa will serve as acting captain of the Horizon garrison. Though the young Lalafell believes this to be a temporary arrangement, he swears to do his utmost to protect the people of Horizon.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Captain Baldewyn.
* Speak with Fufulupa in Horizon.

Merilda 	You are an adventurer, are you not? I know this is sudden, but I have no one else to turn to.
Merilda 	Last night, a gang of bandits from the Quiveron Manse were in their cups, and I overheard them discussing their plans...
Merilda 	It seems they've come to collect gemstones stolen from Copperbell Mines. Nashachite, I think I heard one say. They are to meet with their co-conspirator soon, at the Footfalls─
Fufulupa 	Wh-Wh-What did you say!?
Fufulupa 	Illicit exchanges and shadowy dealings! The Brass Blades cannot abide such malfeasance!
Fufulupa 	Forgive my eavesdropping, [Player Name]─I came to Crescent Cove merely to thank you in person.
Fufulupa 	I never imagined I'd uncover a criminal conspiracy right outside Horizon's gates!
Fufulupa 	We must act quickly if we are to apprehend these thieves! I will notify Captain Baldewyn at once!
Merilda 	No, wait! You mustn't! Oh, gods...
Merilda 	You must stop him before it's too late! Captain Baldewyn himself is working with the bandits!
 	
Fufulupa 	Captain Baldewyn, sir! I've discovered something shocking, something horrible!
Fufulupa 	Someone has been stealing gemstones from Copperbell Mines and─
Fufulupa 	Wait, those gauntlets, those boots─why, you're one of Quiveron's men! Sir, that man is a thief and a scoundrel!
Baldewyn 	...And? What of it? His coin's good, and that's what counts.
Fufulupa 	What!? Captain Baldewyn...are you working with these men!? It cannot be...
Baldewyn 	I told you to stay in Horizon, Fufulupa. It didn't have to be like this...
Baldewyn 	They'd get their Nashachite, I'd get my gil, and none would be the wiser.
Fufulupa 	B-B-But, sir, what if your crimes are uncovered!? What if Lord Lolorito finds out!?
Baldewyn 	You godsdamned fool, don't you see!?
 	
Baldewyn 	I am acting under the authority of Lord Lolorito himself!
Fufulupa 	No... No! That can't be true...
Baldewyn 	Why do you think people join the Brass Blades, Fufulupa? To serve and protect? Hah!
Baldewyn 	We're not the bloody Flames here! We do this for the coin!
 	
Enemy 	You there, adventurer! Do you remember me? Well, I remember you!
Enemy 	I am Ser Baron von Quiveron IV Esquire! You killed my brother, and now I'm going to return the favor!
Baldewyn 	Well, that settles it! It's clearly in everyone's best interests that both of you die!
 	
Leofric 	That's enough, Baldewyn!
Leofric 	Your partner is dead and your plans are undone. You've no reason left to fight.
Baldewyn 	Stay out of this, Leofric! I don't take orders from you!
Baldewyn 	I may have spared your life before, but if you interfere, I will not show you mercy!
Leofric 	And what mercy will he show you, I wonder? You who have done so much in another man's name.
Baldewyn 	What are you blathering on about!?
Leofric 	Every fisherman in Crescent Cove knew about your meeting, you arrogant fool. Quiveron's men couldn't keep their mouths shut.
Leofric 	Imagine Lord Lolorito's surprise when he learned that a rank-and-file Brass Blade was using his name to advance a personal agenda...
Baldewyn 	He knows!? Seven hells! But I'm a captain, he wouldn't─
Leofric 	I was once a captain too, remember? And we both know what happened to me.
Leofric 	Well fought, boy. You've done the Brass Blades of the Rose proud.
Fufulupa 	Captain Leofric! Captain Baldewyn, he...he said that Lord Lolorito─
Leofric 	Lord Lolorito wouldn't waste his time on a small-scale smuggling operation. This is all Baldewyn's doing.
Leofric 	What else did he say? That all our brethren are no better, and that each and every one cares for naught but coin? Hah! Mere excuses to justify his schemes.
 	
Leofric 	Aye, we've no shortage of greedy sods, some who'd probably sell their own mothers into slavery if the price was right.
Leofric 	But there are men like you, Fufulupa─men good and true, whom the smallfolk respect.
 	
Leofric 	Which is why I gave you the dagger. The Brass Blades of the Rose need a leader with honor, and you're the most honorable man I know.
Fufulupa 	<sniffle> <sob> Captaaaaaain!
Fufulupa 	Thank you for all your help, [Player Name]! The captain and I will escort Captain Baldewyn back to Horizon.
Fufulupa 	Pray visit me in town when next you return!
 	
Fufulupa 	Welcome back, [Player Name]! So much has happened!
Fufulupa 	Captain─ahem, Baldewyn has been arrested and stripped of rank, which means the Brass Blades of the Rose no longer have a captain.
Fufulupa 	Until a new one is designated, I've been ordered to serve as acting captain of the Horizon garrison.
Fufulupa 	Though doubtless this is only a temporary arrangement, I will do my utmost to represent my brethren and protect the people of Horizon!
Fufulupa 	Thank you, [Player Name], for your service to the sultanate. You are a true hero!
Scene00001 	Duty calls. Do you wish to proceed with “SUBWIL088”?
Scene00001 	Yes
Scene00001 	No
