Up in Flames

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Asari stops you to say that great things are on the horizon for the small village of Isari, and everyone is incredibly excited about being able to torch fish again. Or at least, everyone but Nayoshi, who has lately been spending most of his free time sulking. Asking that you go and speak to him to learn what is wrong, she points in the direction of the large boulders.
* The fishermen have been working together to defeat the hooked bombfish Nayoshi reels in from the sea, but he fears that due to their inexperience with fighting, it is only a matter of time before someone comes to harm. He begs you to teach them some basic combat maneuvers and, when you agree, rushes off to round up the fishermen.
* When you rendezvous with Nayoshi, he tells you the combat lessons must wait. One of the boats that went torch fishing the night prior has gone missing, and the villagers suspect it is the doing of the Kojin of the Red or sea monsters. As humble fishermen, however, they stand little chance of winning a fight against either and decide they must turn to outside help. One of the elderly fishermen reveals that, in the days of eld they would often turn to the Confederates for aid. Hearing this, Nayoshi asks that you introduce him to Tsukikage that he might appeal to him for assistance.
* The Confederates and one of the fishermen they dragged out of the water tell you that the Kojin of the Red attacked the torch fishing boat and took everyone aboard it prisoner. Agreeing to lend you aid, Tsukikage asks that you create a distraction using fireworks at the Isle of Zekki while he, Suzume, Hansaku, and Nayoshi go to save the captives.
* As per Tsukikage's instructions, you find an open area on the Isle of Zekki to place and light the firecrackers. They explode and draw a few Kojin of the Red lurking close by out of hiding. You quickly dispatch of them and, deeming your distraction a success, you begin making your way to Hells' Lid, where you are to rendezvous with Tsukikage and the others.
* You encounter Tsukikage, who is alone at Hells' Lid and at the mercy of Red Kojin. Quickly neutralize the threat that he might be saved.
* Tsukikage tells you of how their group was attacked by a group of Red Kojin as they were retreating. The others escaped with the fishermen, while he stayed behind to neutralize the threat. The hostile Kojin, however, proved far stronger than he anticipated and he would likely have been overwhelmed by them had you not arrived when you did. Thanking you for your help, the Confederate treasurer then bids that you go with him to Isari to make sure everyone arrived safely.
* You return to Isari, where you are informed that all the fishermen have retired to their homes to rest. The Red Kojin attack has, however, raised a very important question among the remaining men and women: should their village give up on torch fishing for good? Just as the natives resign themselves to quitting, Tsukikage steps forward with a suggestion. In exchange for some of their bombfish oil, he will agree to protect their boats at night and even send men to help slay the beasts. Thus, an agreement is struck among the inhabitants of the Ruby Sea.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Nayoshi.
* Speak with Tsukikage in Onokoro.
* Use the firecrackers at the designated spot and slay any Kojin that appear.
* Rendezvous with Tsukikage at Hells' Lid.
* Aid Tsukikage.
* Speak with Nayoshi.

Asari 	If it isn't our most vaunted savior, Mistress/Master [Player Name]! Ever since you provided us with a means to revive torch fishing, our yields have increased tenfold.
Asari 	Trade, too, has begun to flourish and my seafood stall has greatly benefited from it. A new era is upon us and we are all ready to embrace it with open arms!
Asari 	...Well, everyone with the exception of Nayoshi, that is. Lately, he's been spending all his free time moping by the large boulders. Please, might you try talking to him and learn what is wrong?
Asari 	While all the other villagers are humming to themselves as they set about their work, Nayoshi is over by the boulders sulking. Please go and speak with him to find out what is wrong.
Nayoshi 	Mistress/Master [Player Name], I am glad you came. While all the others are incredibly excited about being able to torch fish again, there is something that has been bothering me...
Nayoshi 	Nobody seems to realize just how dangerous the hooked bombfish are. Every time I reel one in from the seas, it takes the strength of the entire village to bring it down. It is only a matter of time before someone is grievously injured.
Nayoshi 	When fishing with you, I never had to fear for your safety. You know how to handle yourself. Please, do you think you could teach the others some basic techniques to subdue the beasts?
Nayoshi 	Thank you! You have put my mind at ease! I shall go and fetch everyone now. Let us meet at the pier shortly!
 	
Koruri 	This is terrible! This is so very terrible!
Smartdiver 	Everything was going so well until now...
Veteranfisher 	We should have taken extra precautions. In our excitement to begin torch fishing, we became careless.
Asari 	So that is what has been weighing on Nayoshi's mind. He is not wrong to worry. While you will be hard-pressed to find better fishermen than those at our village, none of us are trained fighters.
Nayoshi 	Mistress/Master [Player Name], the lessons must wait. One of the boats that went torch fishing last night has vanished!
Koruri 	There were no storms to rough the seas so chances of their boat having capsized is slim. The men on it were also veterans, so an accident is equally unlikely...
Veteranfisher 	Indeed. This is deeply troubling. I suspect they might have been attacked by sea monsters or Kojin of the Red.
Koruri 	If that is the case, then there is little we can do. We are but humble fishermen. We can scarce fight either of them off with our nets and harpoons.
Veteranfisher 	Before Yotsuyu rose to power, the Confederacy had an outpost here. When problems like this would arise, we would often turn to them for help.
Koruri 	What is to say we can't still do that? All we would need to do is send a boat to Onokoro and beg them for their assistance!
Veteranfisher 	I am afraid it is not nearly so simple. When the Empire came, we simply stood by and watched as they drove them out...
Nayoshi 	Nevertheless, we must at least try! Mistress/Master [Player Name], would you by any chance happen to know someone in the Confederacy?
Veteranfisher 	Master Tsukikage? The Confederacy's treasurer? He often came to our village to collect the Ruby Tithe.
Veteranfisher 	As I recall, he was quite fond of Isari. He would often buy stockfish by the armload to take back. Perhaps he would be sympathetic to our plight.
Nayoshi 	Could you introduce me to this man? I would like to explain our predicament to him and request his assistance.
Veteranfisher 	<sigh> I suppose with all the people you meet in your travels, it is easy to lose track of your acquaintances. You would not happen to know a man by the name of Tsukikage, would you? Long ago, he would come regularly to our village to collect the Ruby Tithe.
Veteranfisher 	As I recall, he was quite fond of Isari. He would often buy stockfish by the armload to take back. Perhaps he would be sympathetic to our plight.
Nayoshi 	Could you introduce me to this man? I would like to explain our predicament to him and request his assistance.
 	
Koruri 	Please, whatever you do, keep Nayoshi safe!
Smartdiver 	Do you really think the Confederacy will help us?
Veteranfisher 	No one knows these waters better than the Confederates. Of anyone, they would be able to find and rescue our missing fishermen.
Nayoshi 	L-Look! That man there─he is one of the fishermen from the missing boat!
Suzume 	We were on our way back from making a delivery to the East Aldenard Trading Company when we fished this rat out of the water.
Hansaku 	It's great to see you again, [Player Name]! You'll be happy to know the chief's been giving me more and more responsibilities since we last met.
Fisher02719 	Thank the kami the two of you came! I just barely managed to escape but the others... They were not so lucky.
Tsukikage 	[Player Name], what brings you here? And who is the large gawping boy beside you?
Nayoshi 	I am Nayoshi of Isari. I begged Mistress/Master [Player Name] to bring me here to speak with you.
Nayoshi 	I have come to appeal to you for your help. One of our boats has vanished, along with the men who were on it. We have not the resources or the power to look for them, but you do. In fact, you seem to already have found one of them.
Hansaku 	Indeed. Your story matches what this man told us when we fished him out of the waters on the way back from a delivery to the East Aldenard Trading Company.
Fisher02719 	Nayoshi, the torches─they were effective. Mayhap a little too effective.
Fisher02719 	They attracted large numbers of fish, but not long after they also brought swarms of Red Kojin to us. I dove into the sea and was able to escape, but the others were not nearly so fortunate. They were captured and taken to Hells' Lid.
Tsukikage 	As you know, our influence over these seas has begun to weaken, and because of this, the Kojin of the Red grow bolder by the day. It was not prudent of your people to go out with torches in the middle of the night.
Nayoshi 	Even so, we cannot very well leave them in the clutches of the enemy! Please, I beg of you, lend us your assistance!
Tsukikage 	It is the Confederacy's duty to see that these seas remain secure. Besides, we cannot deny the pleas of one of [Player Name]'s acquaintances. You will have our assistance.
Nayoshi 	Thank you! Those are the very words I had hoped to hear!
Suzume 	Sir, if the reports our comrades on Sakazuki have sent us are anything to go by, Hells' Lid will be teeming with Kojin of the Red. Rescuing these fishermen is not going to be an easy task.
Tsukikage 	That is why we will be setting up a little diversion for our shell-backed friends at the Isle of Zekki.
Hansaku 	Th-The Isle of Zekki? As in the Red Kojin's home!? But Chief, the only way to get there is to swim...
Nayoshi 	That should be no problem for Mistress/Master [Player Name]! She/He is an excellent diver.
Tsukikage 	Then it sounds as if we have ourselves a plan. [Player Name], you shall be in charge of creating a distraction.
Tsukikage 	Suzume, you are to come with me to Hells' Lid. Together we shall take care of the Red Kojin menace and free the prisoners. Hansaku, you will remain on the boat nearby to ensure our quick escape.
Hansaku 	Yes, sir!!!
Tsukikage 	Oh, and Nayoshi, I would have you accompany Suzume and me. Seeing a familiar face should keep your friends from panicking when they see us.
Nayoshi 	Yes, sir!!!
Fisher02719 	If I am not needed, I shall return to the village and inform everyone of the current situation.
Tsukikage 	[Player Name], take these firecrackers. Find a visible location then light them up. They are loud and bright and should keep the Kojin busy for a time. Once you have done that, come meet us at Hells' Lid.
 	
Balloon 	INTRUDER!
Balloon 	Your death is nigh!
 	
Tsukikage 	[Player Name]! You could not have come at a better time.
Tsukikage 	We were in the middle of our retreat when Kojin reinforcements arrived. Suzume and Nayoshi evacuated with the fishermen, while I remained behind to fend them off.
Tsukikage 	A decade ago, I could have easily done away with this lot. <sigh> Time truly is man's greatest enemy.
Tsukikage 	Now then, let us not waste any more time here. To Isari, my friend!
 	
Tsukikage 	It is good you are here. Nayoshi was growing impatient to see you.
Suzume 	You are alive and, thanks to you, so is our chief.
Hansaku 	You did it yet again! You saved everyone. I hope if I work hard, one day I will come to be as strong and reliable as you.
Veteranfisher 	I am relieved to see you are back in one piece, as are the missing fishermen.
Koruri 	Yet again, you place others' needs above your own. We must learn from this little misadventure and think how we might continue this practice without endangering anyone else.
Fisher02719 	Mistress/Master [Player Name], you are returned! Thanks to you and Nayoshi, the fishermen have also made it back safely. The both of you are heroes!
Nayoshi 	Mistress/Master [Player Name], you have returned! The fishermen have all made it back safely to their homes, where they are resting to recover from this terrible ordeal.
Veteranfisher 	On behalf of everyone here, I would like to extend to you our sincerest thanks for your help.
Koruri 	That reminds me... Perhaps it would be for the best if we returned to our old methods of fishing. While not as effective, at least we will not have to worry about any more attacks.
Tsukikage 	If I may, might I make a suggestion? Nayoshi tells me that torch fishing is a practice that has only been recently revived in Isari and that you use bombfish oil to do it.
Veteranfisher 	That is correct.
Tsukikage 	If you were to supply the Confederacy with some of this oil, we would be willing to ensure the safety of your boats at night. Being the rare commodity that it is, I am sure I can convince Rasho to agree to the trade.
Veteranfisher 	T-Truly!? You would do that?
Tsukikage 	Yes, and we might even be able to lend you some men to slay these bombfish. I hear they have been giving you quite a bit of trouble.
Nayoshi 	I think I speak for all of us when I say we would be honored to accept your offer. We would be fools not to!
Tsukikage 	It seems we have ourselves an agreement, then. I shall be looking forward to working with you.
Nayoshi 	Hahaha! Mistress/Master [Player Name]─did you hear that? We have an agreement! It seems we won't be needing those fighting lessons from you, after all!
Tsukikage 	[Player Name], once again we owe you our thanks. You continue to bring us opportunities we could only ever dream of having. Our future is bright, and it is in no small part thanks to you.
Tsukikage 	Before we part ways, once again, please accept this gift of gratitude from us. I bid you well, my friend. May the wind always be at your back!
