The Face of Thal

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* One of your guildmates has been attacked by an unknown assailant and requires immediate assistance. Mylla bids you search for him at the Coffer & Coffin in central Thanalan and offer whatever assistance you can.
* Though the potion is enough to save your comrade's life, it will take some time for him to make a full recovery. In the meantime, he asks you to find and speak with any witnesses in the vicinity, as well as search the point of ambush so that you can identify the assailant.
* Your search yields a potential sighting, as well as a strange ring engraved with the likeness of a scorpion. Present your findings to the injured gladiator.
* Believing the ring to be an important clue, the gladiator suggests that you show it to Wymond, an independent businessman known to possess knowledge on a wide variety of subjects. Speak with Wymond on the Steps of Nald in Ul'dah.
* Wymond informs you that the ring is worn by members of the Alacran, a notorious criminal organization. Return to the Gladiators' Guild and tell Mylla everything you have learned.
* Moments after you return to make your report, Aldis once again bursts into the guild, much to Mylla's chagrin. He admits that he is the target of the bounty hunters, and urges the guildmaster to leave the Alacran to him. However, Mylla refuses to heed his counsel and declares that the Gladiators' Guild will confront the bandits at the Silver Bazaar. Make your preparations for the coming battle and rendezvous with Mylla in western Thanalan.
* After repelling the attackers, you and your comrades are confronted by more members of the Alacran, who are led by a man armed with a blade resembling Aldis's. While the encounter did not result in bloodshed, it has left Mylla shaken to the core. Return to the Gladiators' Guild and see if she is all right.
* At the guild, Aldis explains that Leavold, his former Coliseum partner, has taken control of the Alacran and transformed them from a gang of common thieves into the most feared criminal organization in Thanalan. However, Mylla insists that the Leavold she once knew would never do such terrible things. As you witness the exchange between the two of them, you cannot help but wonder what terrible twist of fate tore the three friends apart seven long years ago.
※The next gladiator quest will be available from Mylla upon reaching level 25.

Mylla 	[Player Name], I'm glad you're here! One of our members has been attacked and gravely wounded, and I need you to go and help him.
Mylla 	I suspect this is the work of more bounty hunters. It may even be a trap to lure more of us into the open. Nevertheless, we cannot ignore our comrade's plight.
Mylla 	When last he contacted us by linkpearl, he said he'd try to seek shelter at the Coffer & Coffin. Take this potion and search for him there.
 	
Injured Gladiator	Help...help me... I can't feel my...
Injured Gladiator	Thank you, sister/brother. It all happened so fast...over by the tracks to the north. I don't know who attacked me, nor why they left me alive, but I daresay the answer is out there. Surely, someone saw something.
 	
Injured Gladiator	I don't remember anything myself, but I'm sure someone nearby saw something. Could you speak with the local residents and see what they know? The place I was attacked might also be worth a look.
 	
Npc 	Suspicious characters? Well, now that you mention it, I did see a strange fellow wearing a garish purple robe. At first, I thought he was talking to himself, but then I realized he had a linkpearl. I heard him say something about the “wrong man” and the “Silver Bazaar.” Does that help?
 	
Npc 	The fellow outside? Aye, I saw him stumble in when I left the bar to take a piss. Was alone as I recall. Ye say he's wounded? Thought he was just drunk!
 	
Injured Gladiator	<cough> Purple robe? Hmmm, that sounds familiar...
Aye, it was him, I'd swear it. Did you find anything else?
 	
Injured Gladiator	Picked this up by the tracks, eh? Might well have belonged to the bastard. Can't say I've seen its like before.
Injured Gladiator	Might be as Wymond could tell you more. You know him, don't you? He's the bespectacled bloke who's always lounging around Emerald Avenue in the city. 'Course, being the businessman that he is, he'll probably ask to be compensated in exchange.
 	
Injured Gladiator	Show that ring to Wymond. He's sure to know something about it.
 	
Wymond 	Well now, if it ain't [Player Name], everybody's favorite 'venturer! I hear you threw your lot in with the gladiators─a questionable decision, given the events of recent days, but to each his own. To what do I owe the pleasure?
 	
Wymond 	Oi, put that away before someone sees it! Where in the seven hells'd you get one of those rings!?
Wymond 	What, don't you recognize the sigil? <sigh> Godsdamned fool. Before you go stumblin' around in the brush, you ought to at least know what kind of venomous bastards'll be lurkin' within.
Wymond 	Been a long time since Ul'dah's seen a criminal organization rise from obscurity to notoriety as quickly as the Alacran. Word is they've got connections to the Brass Blades, the Syndicate, an' gods know who else.
Wymond 	But you didn't hear that from me. I want no part of whatever mess you an' your mates have gotten yourselves into. Understood?
 	
Mylla 	Oh, [Player Name]! I was wondering when you might return. What news do you bring of our injured comrade?
 	
Mylla 	The Alacran? I find that hard to believe─but no matter.
 	
Mylla 	The Silver Bazaar!? Then it must be the same gang of ruffians!
 	
Mylla 	One of our comrades returned from Stonesthrow moments ago. A gang of bandits is said to be headed for the Silver Bazaar. They're after a man with an enormous bounty on his head.
 	
Mylla 	The people living there are in grave danger. In their frenzy to find their quarry, the bandits won't scruple to destroy property and harm civilians, and the few Brass Blades stationed there will be powerless to stop them.
 	
Mylla 	We must stop them, [Player Name]. We'll protect the Silver Bazaar and avenge our injured guildmate, all in one fell swoop!
 	
Aldis 	A bit melodramatic, if you ask me.
Mylla 	Aldis!? I told you never to come here again!
 	
Aldis 	I couldn't sit idly by while you charge into battle against an enemy you know nothing about. Mylla, a responsible guildmaster would never risk the lives of her charges like this.
Mylla 	Who are you to lecture me about responsibility!?
Aldis 	Mylla, listen to me─this is the Alacran you're dealing with.
 	
Mylla 	So? Whatever notoriety they may have achieved means nothing to me. We'll cut them down like the common bandits they are.
 	
Aldis 	It's not that simple. More importantly, it's not your fight.
Mylla 	What are you saying?
Aldis 	They want me, Mylla. I've been fending off assassination attempts ever since I returned to Thanalan.
 	
Aldis 	Just stay here and let me handle this. It'll be over soon, I promise.
Mylla 	...Just stay here while you go off on your own, is that it?
Mylla 	It's been seven years since I let you leave, Aldis. Seven years. Do you have any idea─any idea at all what you put me through?
 	
Aldis 	Mylla...
Mylla 	I don't want to hear it, you selfish bastard! Do you even care about the people who suffered because of you? Just...just get out─we don't need your help! We'll settle this ourselves!
 	
Aldis 	Mylla, wait! There's something you need to know─
Mylla 	Enough! Get out, get OUT!
 	
Aldis 	All right, all right. Save some of that for the Alacran. But do try not to let [Player Name] here come to harm while you're at it.
 	
Mylla 	What are you waiting for!? You have your orders, now go!
 	
Mylla 	There you are, [Player Name]! Everyone's already in position! Are you prepared?
 	
Mylla 	Rejoice, gladiators, for the day is ours!
Mylla 	Hm!?
 	
Mylla 	What!? But...but why would you be─
Npca 	Leave 'em to us, First Sword!
Mylla 	No, stop!
Zana 	Such brittle blades, so easily broken. Perhaps the First Sword is made of stronger steel.
Rehwoldt 	Leave her, Zana. Our business here is over.
Mylla 	What...what have you done, Leavold...?
Npca 	First Sword, we must withdraw! The wounded need tending! Let us take them back to the guild!
Mylla 	Give me a moment, [Player Name]. I need to think...
 	
Aldis 	I wanted to spare you this, Mylla. I begged you not to go.
Mylla 	You knew, Aldis? That...that Leavold had...
 	
Aldis 	Leavold and I once fought side by side in the Coliseum─the Twin Swords of Nald'thal, they called us. Never lost a match, honored by the Bull of Ala Mhigo himself─but that was then and this is now.
 	
Aldis 	When I learned Leavold single-handedly transformed the Alacran from a gang of common thieves into the most feared criminal organization in Thanalan, I knew I had to return.
Aldis 	It seems like a lifetime ago that the three of us used to train together in this hall...
 	
Mylla 	The Leavold I knew would never stoop so low. He was a good man, strong and true! What would drive him to do this?
 	
Aldis 	When I find him, I'll be sure to ask. Unfortunately, he seems determined to kill me for my curiosity.
 	
Mylla 	What aren't you telling me, Aldis?
 	
Aldis 	I'm not clever enough to keep secrets, my dear. I'm a simple man, only capable of dealing with what's right in front of me.
Mylla 	Is that so...
Aldis 	I'll find him, Mylla. I promise.
Scene00020 	Duty calls. Do you wish to proceed with
“CLSGLA200”?
Scene00020 	Yes
Scene00020 	No
