Starlight Stakeout

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* It appears that treants stole the Starlight Celebration decorations, and the wandering pilgrim saw them heading southward. Baenfaeld has gone to Galvanth's Spire to scout ahead, and you agree to rendezvous with him there.
※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
* Baenfaeld reveals that the treants have converged at the Mirror Planks. Speak with the Starlight Bear handler stationed by the Mirror Planks to proceed to the next phase of the plan.
* The Starlight Bear handler requests you ride your trusted bear once more, and use starbursts to halt the treants in their tracks.
※Participate in the FATE “Bad Luck Comes in Trees” to apprehend the culprits.
※Speak with the Starlight Bear handler near the Mirror Planks to mount KochabKochab/PolarisPferkadKochabPolarisKochab/PolarisPolarisKochab.
* The treants have been subdued. It is time to return to Bentbranch Meadows and tell Taff the good news.
* Taff is delighted to hear from Baenfaeld and yourself that most of the treants have been caught and the majority of the decorations recovered. Your efforts have contributed greatly to the case of the stolen Starlight Celebration goods, but several treants still evade capture. There may yet be need of your services.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Baenfaeld at Galvanth's Spire.
* Speak with the Starlight Bear handler at the Mirror Planks.
* Complete the FATE “Bad Luck Comes in Trees” near the Mirror Planks.
* Speak with Taff.

Taff 	You mean you'll get all the decorations back? Thank you so much, miss/sir!
Baenfaeld 	KochabKochab/PolarisPferkadKochabPolarisKochab/PolarisPolarisKochab came lookin' for me, an' told me to leg it back here. Everythin' all right?
Baenfaeld 	You what? This little nipper saw the thief?
Taff 	I did! The Starlight Tree nicked all the decorations, and stuck 'em all over itself!
Baenfaeld 	Pull the other one, it's got bells on! We was robbed by a tree? Bit far-fetched, don't ye think?
Baenfaeld 	What d'you make of all this?
Taff 	You believe me? I knew you weren't like all the others! It really was the Starlight Tree I saw, I swear!
Taff 	You think I'm just tellin' stories? You're all the same! Well, I don't care if you believe me or not, I know what I saw! It was the Starlight Tree!
 	
Baenfaeld 	All right, son, let's slow down, eh? You sure you didn't mis-see it? Bit too much cheese before bed perhaps?
Godbert 	Ho ho ho! This vigilant young man speaks the truth!
Baenfaeld 	It's you! You show up to help us every Starlight Celebration! Yer Go...
Godbert 	A wandering pilgrim, come to see justice is served! I can vouch for the boy's testimony, as I too witnessed this heinous crime with my very eyes! But what say you, adventurer? What do your instincts tell you?
Godbert 	Verily, you have cut straight to the heart of the matter! For the true criminal is naught more than a common treant, draped in plundered Starlight Celebration finery!
 	
Godbert 	Indeed, it was the Starlight Tree, but in appearance only! A lowly treant claimed the decorations for itself, and assumed the guise of our most beloved of festive fauna!
 	
Baenfaeld 	A treant! Come to mention it, if one of those made off with a load of Starlight gubbins, it might look a bit like a Starlight Tree!
Godbert 	That is not all! For I saw not one, but a whole copse of these culprits, all similarly bespangled, shambling their way south.
Godbert 	I had a mind to smite the wretched lot of them, there and then. But! I realized that if my hammer of legend were to strike down the fiends, the decorations we seek to reclaim would suffer the same fate! Another approach is needed, methinks.
Baenfaeld 	Aye, we've got to find a way to nab those bark-faced bastards without breakin' anythin'. But how are we to do that?
Polaris 	Grrr... Grrrrrr...
Baenfaeld 	"If we lob a bunch of starbursts at the treants, we can stun 'em without damagin' our stuff,“ ye say? Worth a try, I reckon!
 	
Baenfaeld 	First, we track 'em down. If they're headin' south, the Starlight Celebrant by Galvanth's Spire probably saw 'em.
Baenfaeld 	I'll go ahead with the bears and have a word with the lad stationed down there. We'll wait for you before makin' our move.
Godbert 	Ho ho ho! A fine plan indeed! All that remains is to round up the troublemakers, and make those darling children smile once more. Now go, adventurer! May the raging flames of your righteous soul spare not those who defy the will of Nymeia!
Taff 	You're going to Galvanth's Spire? I want to help too, but I know I'd only get in your way. So I'll keep an eye on things here!
 	
Baenfaeld 	It's just as we suspected. A whole troop of 'em have been seen shufflin' about by the Mirror Planks.
Baenfaeld 	The bears are in position, and ready when you are. When our quarry shows up, have a word with the Starlight Bear handler to ride KochabKochab/PolarisPferkadKochabPolarisKochab/PolarisPolarisKochab and start flingin' them starbursts!
Baenfaeld 	Once you've got 'em stunned, we'll take care of the rest. There might even be a few more 'venturers willin' to join ye. Just do whatever it takes!
Taff 	I don't think I'd be any good fighting treants, so I'll keep out of the way. Wish I could watch, though!
 	
Committee00439 	Baenfaeld's told me all about the plan. I've got KochabKochab/PolarisPferkadKochabPolarisKochab/PolarisPolarisKochab right here, ready to throw some starbursts. Good luck out there!
Committee00439 	KochabKochab/PolarisPferkadKochabPolarisKochab/PolarisPolarisKochab is right here, waiting for you. Don't let those thieves get away!
 	
Taff 	Oh, you're back! How did it go?
Baenfaeld 	Ah, there ye are! Great work, [Player Name]! You too, KochabKochab/PolarisPferkadKochabPolarisKochab/PolarisPolarisKochab! Judgin' by the amount of decorations we got back, I'd say most of the treants've been dealt with.
Baenfaeld 	We couldn't've done it without ye! So, Taff, you got anythin' ye want to say?
Taff 	Thank you so much! I knew you'd come through for us!
Taff 	I'll make sure everyone knows what you did! Nymeia bless you, miss/sir! Good-bye!
Taff 	You know, miss/sir, you're just like one of the saint's little helpers!
 	
Polaris 	Groaaar... Grrr...
 	
Kochab 	Groooaaar! Groaaar!
 	
Pferkad 	<whimper> Grrr...
 	
Baenfaeld 	Ye have my thanks as well! 'Course, now we've got to put all the decorations back up, but I'm sure the young'uns won't mind helpin' out. The Starlight Celebration's been saved, and it's all because of you!
Baenfaeld 	There are still a few odds an' ends missin', probably tangled up in some other treants. If ye've got time, ye can help us look for 'em! The local youngsters, and the “T'riffic Trio” here would be right pleased if ye did!
Polaris 	Grrroooaaar!
