Journal

Acting Guildmaster Thubyrgeim is awaiting the arrival of the inspection party members.
Now that all the members of the Mealvaan's Gate inspection party are assembled and briefed, Foreseer K'lyhia is ready to depart. Meet the assessor and the mercenaries outside of Aleport, and prepare to board the merchant vessel Morningstar.
In order to make your way to the Morningstar, you must first board the small transport craft tied up at the end of the pier. Speak with the landing boat steersman, and announce the arrival of the inspection party.
You have defeated the thugs sent to impede the inspection. Speak with the steersman once more.
You have secured the pier for your companions. Head to the landing boat, and await the arrival of Foreseer K'lyhia and the two mercenaries.
After a mighty battle with the crew of the Morningstar, you manage to arrive before the hatch that leads belowdecks. But just as K'lyhia seeks to begin her inspection, she is suddenly confronted by the ship's dreadful captain. With her grimoire tossed overboard, and her wits scattered by the terrible man standing before her, the foreseer slips into unconsciousness. You have no choice but to abandon the task. Return to the Arcanists' Guild and inform Thubyrgeim of your failure.
You learn from Thubyrgeim that the captain of the Morningstar is an exiled pirate by the name of Doesmaga, and that this is not the first time the foreseer has suffered at his hands. Though K'lyhia has sustained no lasting physical injuries, her mind may require some time to recover from the shock of the encounter. The acting guildmaster bids you channel your emotions into your training, and clear your head for forthcoming duties. ※The next arcanist quest will be available from Thubyrgeim upon reaching level 20.

Characters 4

Thubyrgeim
Thubyrgeim is with the inspection party as it gathers at the Arcanists' Guild.
What you know from earlier quests 4
- #4 Way of the Arcanist: Thubyrgeim says arcanima draws on aether, a living energy, lets you call a helper named Carbuncle, and needs calm thinking in battle. After a trial against pests, she welcomes you as an arcanist and gives you a hunting log. Her name means "Magic Jewel".
- #35 What's in the Box: Thubyrgeim reminds her arcanists to eat. Her guild inspects cargo at Mealvaan's Gate, so she sets you a practice cargo check. She calls K'lyhia odd but the guild's best tactician, and hopes you can widen K'lyhia's view beyond arcanima.
- #51 Tactical Planning: Thubyrgeim has you slay three roselings and three wild jackals, calling three the perfect sample size, then sends you with K'lyhia. Pleased, she allows you to train at other guilds, but advises mastering arcanima first. Off duty, the twenty-nine-year-old teaches children to read.
- #74 Topaz Teachings: Thubyrgeim notices you look tired and asks if you sleep properly, since reasoning suffers without rest. Each of her lessons starts with such a health check. She teaches you to summon Topaz Carbuncle, a magic ally, for use if the inspection turns sour.
K'lyhia
K'lyhia is ready to lead the inspection of the merchant ship Morningstar.
What you know from earlier quests 3
- #35 What's in the Box: Thubyrgeim chose her to guide your training. K'lyhia loves calculations: she puts your odds of becoming a notable arcanist at 90%. Her worn starter grimoire (spellbook) was the absent guildmaster's gift; she rose to foreseer with it. Then she leaves to test tactics in battle.
- #51 Tactical Planning: K'lyhia, a foreseer at Mealvaan's Gate, the city's customs, inspects the Boilstox, goblin peddlers suspected of smuggling. She plans tactics well but lacks the reflexes to use them. She teaches you to know your own strengths, and rates your chance of greatness 97%.
- #74 Topaz Teachings: K'lyhia checks merchant ships in Limsa Lominsa's ports daily for Mealvaan's Gate. She is about to board a ship suspected of smuggling and puts the odds of resistance at 75%. She requires you to learn Topaz Carbuncle first, and keeps asking until you agree.
Aersthota
Aersthota is a mercenary hired to guard K'lyhia on the inspection of the Morningstar.
Merlwyb
What you know from earlier quests 7
- #6 Edelweiss, Edelweiss: The Encyclopaedia Eorzea says Admiral Merlwyb gave an order that banned piracy. After that order, a group called the Upright Thieves became the Rogues' Guild.
- #10 Close to Home: Murie says Admiral Merlwyb keeps several arcanists on her personal staff. Fearing their art would die out, as it passed only from master to chosen student, she ordered an official Arcanists' Guild and paid for research and training.
- #19 On to Summerford: Staelwyrn took Admiral Merlwyb's offer to put pirates stuck on land to work in the fields. The panel notes add that Summerford is part of Merlwyb's plan to end piracy by giving former pirates land to work.
- #69 Feint and Strike: Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn, Admiral of Limsa Lominsa, thanks you at the Coral Tower. You seem familiar to her. She calls Baderon a good friend and invites you to a banquet as guest of honor. Her names mean "Sea Woman" and "Blue Fish's daughter" in Roegadyn.
- #70 High Society: Merlwyb does not appear. Reyner says it is very rare for the Admiral to invite an adventurer to a state banquet. Baderon teases you as "Merlwyb's guest of honor."
- #71 A Mizzenmast Repast: Merlwyb tells of the lost Warriors of Light. She sees you as chosen by the Mothercrystal, the being in your vision, and has a task for you. Her father Bloefhis worked with the Sahagin; she challenged him to a duel and came back alone.
- #73 The Lominsan Envoy: Merlwyb proposes memorial services in each city-state on the fifth anniversary of the Battle of Carteneau. She makes you her personal envoy to Gridania and Ul'dah and gives you an airship pass. She says you have a quality that recalls history's champions.

What happens in this quest spoilers for this quest

Thubyrgeim says the mercenaries are old hands at guarding K'lyhia. She tells you the captain was the pirate Doesmaga, exiled years ago, who has hurt K'lyhia before. She regrets sending her and urges you to turn your anger into training.
K'lyhia plans with odds and named tactics. Your skill reminds her of the guildmaster. You clear the pier and deck, but the captain, Doesmaga, an exiled pirate who hurt her before, terrifies her. He throws her grimoire (spell book) overboard and she faints.
Aersthota is an old hand at escorting K'lyhia and trusts her tactics. Aersthota steers the landing boat and, when K'lyhia faints, helps carry her away and sends you to report to Thubyrgeim.

What the Japanese, French and German versions say 8

Japanese

EN Over the Rails

JA 「無残なる臨検戦術」, 'the Wretched Inspection Tactic'

無残 (muzan) means 'cruel and pitiful'. The title gives away that K'lyhia's boarding ends in miserable failure.

Name origin

EN Over the Rails

JA 「無残なる臨検戦術」, 'Wretched Inspection Tactics'

DE „Ankunft der Morgenstern“, 'Arrival of the Morgenstern'

FR «Trajectoire surpriso-gravitationnelle de grimoire», 'Surprise-Gravitational Trajectory of a Grimoire'

The German title names the ship. The French one is mock science. Only the Japanese says 'wretched'.

French

Title

EN Over the Rails

FR «Trajectoire surpriso-gravitationnelle de grimoire», 'surprise-gravitational trajectory of a grimoire'

The title describes, in K'lyhia's grand style, how her spellbook falls. Doesmaga throws it overboard.

Idiom

EN '???: Yer just like yer mistress: always stickin' yer nose in where it ain't invited.'

FR «???: Môdame l'Amirale de pacotille nous a envoyé ses guignols, à c'que j'vois.», 'So Her Ladyship the tin-pot Admiral has sent us her clowns, I see.'

Doesmaga stretches his words to mock Merlwyb and her inspectors. Tin-pot means worthless.

Idiom

EN 'Ye slink on back to yer mistress, ye worthless curs!'

FR «???: C'est ça, rentrez à Limsa Lominsa, et dites à cette chienne de Bloefhiswyn qu'elle peut s'mettre ses inspections de douane où j'pense !», 'That's it, go back to Limsa Lominsa, and tell that bitch Bloefhiswyn she can stick her customs inspections where the sun don't shine!'

Bloefhiswyn is Merlwyb's family name. Doesmaga's hint is rude: up her backside. The English Doesmaga only calls you curs.

Nuance

EN 'Recognized me pretty face, did ye?'

FR «J't'avais pas reconnue, ma p'tite panthère !», 'I didn't recognize you, my little panther!'

Doesmaga talks down to K'lyhia with this pet name. The English Doesmaga only asks if she knows his face.

German

Wordplay

EN '???: Yer just like yer mistress: always stickin' yer nose in where it ain't invited.'

DE „???: Sieh an, das Schoßhündchen von Admiral Meckerweib!“, 'Well, well, if it isn't Admiral Nag-Woman's little lapdog!'

Doesmaga twists Merlwyb's name. „meckern“ is 'to grouse or bleat like a goat', and „Weib“ is a rude word for 'woman', mocking her '-wyb'.

Different

EN 'An' I've certainly 'ad enough o' these bloody books.'

DE „Aber es will ja nur spielen ... Hier, hol das Stöckchen!“, 'But it only wants to play... Here, fetch the stick!'

Doesmaga throws the grimoire as if for a dog. He warns he won't be as kind a dog-master as back then.

Dialogue 56 lines

Accepting the quest

K'lyhia

The mercenaries Geissfryn and Aersthota are here to assist with the inspection.

FR Je te présente Geissfryn et Aersthota, deux merrrcenaires qui vont nous accompagner et nous assister pour cette inspection. ‘Let me introduce Geissfryn and Aersthota, two merrrcenaries who will accompany us and assist us for this inspection.’ French K'lyhia rolls her r's in every line, a purr-like speech quirk that English doesn't give her.

Thubyrgeim

Both are old hands when it comes to escorting K'lyhia during her more dangerous duties.

Geissfryn

Well met, [name]. My spells are at your disposal.

Aersthota

This won't be the first time we're expectin' trouble, but as long as we follow the foreseer's tactics─and keep a clear head─we'll come through just fine.

DE Verlass dich ganz auf uns. ‘Rely on us completely.’ English says success comes from following the foreseer's tactics; German just says to rely completely on the mercenaries.
FR Grâce aux calculs et aux stratégies pointus de K'lyhia, nous n'avons jamais eu à subir d'échec. ‘Thanks to K'lyhia's sharp calculations and strategies, we have never had to suffer a failure.’ French boasts they have never failed thanks to K'lyhia; English only promises they will come through fine.
JA 過去にも、臨検の妨害はあったけど、ク・リヒャ殿の戦術のおかげで、失敗しらずさ。 ‘Inspections have been obstructed before too, but thanks to K'lyhia's tactics we've never known failure.’ Japanese says they have never failed so far; English only predicts they will come through fine.

K'lyhia

The Morningstar is preparing to dock in Aleport. We will meet our first challenge, however, before we even board the vessel.

It is almost a certainty that the “merchant ship” has hired a thug or two to accost us at the pier─I calculate the probability at 98%. The crew wish to avoid attacking us on deck, you see, as that would all but trumpet their criminal intentions to the world at large.

FR Mais d'après mes calculs, les chances qu'ils aient engagé des brutes pour provoquer une bagarre et nous bloquer sur le quai sont de 98,72 %. ‘But according to my calculations, the chances that they hired brutes to start a fight and block us on the quay are 98.72%.’ English gives the probability as 98%; French gives 98.72%.
DE Ich habe eine Wahrscheinlichkeit von 98,98 Prophezent errechnet, dass dies auch für die Morgenstern der Fall sein wird. ‘I have calculated a probability of 98.98 Prophezent that this will also be the case for the Morningstar.’ English says 98%; German says 98.98 "Prophezent", a made-up unit blending prophecy and percent.

Now, once we do manage to clear the rails, we will face a deck crowded with armed sailors. For a small party such as ours, the most effective strategy will be to incapacitate individual foes as swiftly as possible─each opponent we down is one less weapon raised against us. It is imperative that we do not allow ourselves to become tangled in multiple, drawn-out skirmishes lest we be overwhelmed. I call this “Stratagem Hammerfall.”

FR C'est le mode d'attaque n°625, le ciblage intensif. ‘This is attack mode no. 625, intensive targeting.’ English names the tactic "Stratagem Hammerfall"; French calls it "attack mode no. 625, intensive targeting".
DE Die sogenannte Dominotaktik. ‘The so-called domino tactic.’ English names the tactic "Stratagem Hammerfall"; German calls it the "domino tactic".
JA これを「各個撃破戦術」といいます。 ‘This is called the "defeat-them-one-by-one tactic".’ English names the tactic "Stratagem Hammerfall"; Japanese calls it the tactic of defeating foes one by one.

“Strategy is a tool used to manipulate one's situation into the desired reality.” Keep those words in mind, [name]. It is time we departed─let us regroup before the main gates of Aleport.

Speak with K'lyhia outside Aleport.

K'lyhia

Let us be about our task. [name], pray inform the steersman at the pier that we are ready to conduct our inspection.

Should violence be offered, you are to execute Stratagem Hammerfall. Do not forget: your tactics are both your shield and your weapon.

FR Euh, je pense qu'il comprrrendra peut-être mieux si tu lui dis qu'il s'agit du ciblage intensif. ‘Uh, I think he might understand better if you tell him it's intensive targeting.’ English: tactics are your shield and weapon; French jokes he'll understand "intensive targeting" better than "attack mode no. 625".
JA 戦術は、望む現実を作るためにある……これをお忘れなきよう。 ‘Tactics exist to create the reality one desires... do not forget this.’ English says tactics are both shield and weapon; Japanese repeats that tactics exist to create the desired reality.

Please inform the steersman at the pier of our arrival. Any aggression is to be rebuked with Stratagem Hammerfall.

Wait by the landing boat.

Geissfryn

The foreseer will be safe with us.

FR J'ai hâte de commencer cette inspection... qui promet d'être musclée. ‘I can't wait to start this inspection... which promises to be rough.’ English promises the foreseer will be safe with them; French says he can't wait for a rough inspection.

Aersthota

We're countin' on you to cut us a path to the landin' boat!

You're with the folks from Mealvaan's Gate? I─ Ah, hells, I knew there'd be trouble!

Y-You're on your own, lass/lad!

Well, then! I'm certainly glad to see you can handle yourself. You'll find the landing boat just down here at the end of this ramp. I'll have no part of what comes next, though!

FR Dépêchez-vous tous de monter à son bord avant qu'on ne vienne nous embêter encore. ‘Hurry, all of you, and get aboard before someone comes to bother us again.’ English: the steersman wants no part of what comes next; French: hurry aboard before more trouble comes.
DE Schnell, zum Enterboot, bevor noch mehr Schläger auftauchen! ‘Quick, to the landing boat, before more thugs show up!’ English: the steersman wants no part of what comes next; German: hurry to the boat before more thugs appear.
JA また変なヤツが来る前に、さっさと乗りな。 ‘Before more shady types come, hurry up and get aboard.’ English: the steersman wants no part of what comes next; Japanese: board quickly before more shady types come.

K'lyhia

Deftly handled, [name]. Once again, I am reminded of our guildmaster.

Thanks to your efficient response, we will be able to commence this inspection earlier than I had calculated. We shall board the merchant vessel out in the bay.

Aersthota, if you would take the rudder? The Morningstar awaits.

FR Oh, regarrrde ! ‘Oh, look! There it is... the Morningstar.’ English: K'lyhia asks Aersthota to take the rudder; French: she just says to look at the ship.
DE Seht nur! ‘Just look! There's the Morningstar!’ English: K'lyhia asks Aersthota to take the rudder; German: she just tells everyone to look at the ship.
JA ……見てください、件の商船のお出ましです。 ‘...Please look, the merchant ship in question has appeared.’ English: K'lyhia asks Aersthota to take the rudder; Japanese: she just asks everyone to look at the ship.
FR Le voilà justement... l'Étoile du matin. ‘There it is, right on cue... the Morning Star.’ French just points out the ship arriving; English asks Aersthota to take the rudder.
DE Da ist die Morgenstern! ‘There is the Morning Star!’ German only exclaims that the ship has appeared; nobody is asked to take the rudder.

Since their welcoming party at the pier failed to deter us, I expect─with a probability of 85%─that our arrival will incite further belligerence.

FR 84,36 %. ‘Even if we manage to get aboard this ship, I estimate the chances that the sailors will oppose us at... 84.36%.’ English gives the probability as 85%; French gives 84.36%.
DE Die Matrosen werden uns in ein Handgemenge verwickeln. ‘The sailors will drag us into a scuffle.’ English gives an 85% probability of further hostility; German states flatly that the sailors will start a scuffle.

Our objective, however, is not to trade blows, but to gain access to the hold. It may behoove us to employ “Stratagem Hardhead.”

FR Je préconise donc la stratégie n°4223, c'est-à-dire le passage en force. ‘I therefore recommend strategy no. 4223, that is to say, forcing our way through.’ English names the tactic "Stratagem Hardhead"; French calls it "strategy no. 4223, forcing our way through".
JA ゆえに、この場合は「強行突破戦術」が有効です。 ‘Therefore, in this case, the "forced breakthrough tactic" is effective.’ English names the tactic "Stratagem Hardhead"; Japanese calls it the "forced breakthrough tactic".

The aim of our opponents is to buy time so that suspect goods may be tossed into the ocean. I do not intend to give them that time. We will bull our way towards the cargo hold as quickly as we can.

It is a tactic fraught with risk, but one that your presence makes possible. Shall we begin?

I am Foreseer K'lyhia. By the authority of Mealvaan's Gate, I request that you surrender your goods for assessment!

DE Ich bin Hauptzollinspektorin K'lyhia von der Mealvaaner Zollbehörde. ‘I am chief customs inspector K'lyhia of the Mealvaan customs authority.’ English gives K'lyhia the title "Foreseer"; German calls her chief customs inspector.
JA メルヴァン税関公社の主任検査官ク・リヒャです。 ‘I am K'lyhia, chief inspector of the Mealvaan Customs Corporation.’ English gives K'lyhia the title "Foreseer"; Japanese calls her chief inspector.

Well, now, yer timin' couldn't be worse, lass. The 'old door's all rusted up, ye see. Bloody thing won't open. Ye'll 'ave to come back another day after we's fixed the 'inges.

DE Ich schlage vor, die Inspektion ausfallen zu lassen. ‘I suggest calling off the inspection.’ German sailor proposes cancelling the inspection altogether; English tells her to come back another day.

K'lyhia

I will see that cargo now. Any vessel entering a port of Limsa Lominsa is bound by law to submit to a routine inspection.

The law, is it? Lads, I reckon it's time our “guests” 'ad 'emselves a little accident. Pitch 'em over the side!

FR C'est comme vous voulez, mais on vient d'nettoyer l'pont. ‘It's as you like, but we've just cleaned the deck.’ French sailor makes a veiled threat about a freshly washed, slippery deck; English openly orders them thrown overboard.

K'lyhia

A masterful display, [name]! Now we can finally gain access to their cargo.

Oof!

???: What 'ave we 'ere, then? It's one o' the bitch Admiral's lapdogs, scamperin' about me ship.

???: Yer just like yer mistress: always stickin' yer nose in where it ain't invited.

FR ???: Môdame l'Amirale de pacotille nous a envoyé ses guignols, à c'que j'vois. ‘So Her Ladyship the tin-pot Admiral has sent us her clowns, I see.’ Doesmaga stretches his words to mock Merlwyb and her inspectors. Tin-pot means worthless.
DE ???: Sieh an, das Schoßhündchen von Admiral Meckerweib! ‘Well, well, if it isn't Admiral Nag-Woman's little lapdog!’ Doesmaga twists Merlwyb's name. „meckern“ is 'to grouse or bleat like a goat', and „Weib“ is a rude word for 'woman', mocking her '-wyb'.
FR Môdame l'Amirale de pacotille nous a envoyé ses guignols, à c'que j'vois. ‘Her Ladyship the tin-pot Admiral has sent us her clowns, from what I see.’ French mocks the Admiral as a cheap fake and her agents as puppet clowns, not as lapdogs.
FR Une 'tite lettre aurait suffi... ‘A little letter would have been enough...’ French jokes that they needn't have come, a note would do; English accuses them of poking their noses in.

K'lyhia

N-No...it can't be!

???: Hah. Recognized me pretty face, did ye?

DE Erstaunlich, wo man sich so wiedertrifft. ‘Astonishing, the places where people meet again.’ German captain remarks on the surprising reunion; English taunts her about recognising his face.
JA ？？？？: おや……こんなところで再会するとは、奇遇よのう。 ‘Oh... to meet again in a place like this, what a coincidence.’ Japanese captain calls the reunion a coincidence; English has him gloat about his "pretty face".

K'lyhia

B-But...you were caught... Exiled...

Aersthota

Foreseer! Are you hurt? Can you stand?

K'lyhia

St-Stay back! You stay away from me!

Aersthota

Foreseer, please, calm down! What are your orders?

FR Qu'est-ce qui te prend !? ‘What's gotten into you!?’ English: Aersthota asks the foreseer for orders; French asks what has gotten into her.
DE Was ist denn in dich gefahren? ‘What's gotten into you?’ English: Aersthota asks the foreseer for orders; German asks what has gotten into her.
JA どうしちまったんだ！？ ‘What's happened to you!?’ English: Aersthota asks the foreseer for orders; Japanese asks what has happened to her.

???: I've 'ad enough o' yer whimperin'. An' I've certainly 'ad enough o' these bloody books. It's clear ye ain't learnin' anythin' from 'em.

DE Aber es will ja nur spielen ... Hier, hol das Stöckchen! ‘But it only wants to play... Here, fetch the stick!’ Doesmaga throws the grimoire as if for a dog. He warns he won't be as kind a dog-master as back then.
FR Et ce manque de manières... ‘And this lack of manners...’ English: he has had enough of her books; French: he complains about her lack of manners.
JA 品行下劣は、相変わらずかっ。 ‘Your vulgar conduct is the same as ever, eh.’ English: he has had enough of her books; Japanese: her vulgar behaviour hasn't changed.
JA ならば、「しつけ」が必要だのう！！ ‘In that case, you need some "house-training"!!’ Japanese never mentions books: the ill-mannered "dog" needs house-training. English says her books taught her nothing.

???: Reckon it's time ye got a different kind o' lesson!

FR Mais cette fois, j'vais pas y aller d'main morte ! ‘But this time, I'm not going to go easy!’ English promises a different kind of lesson; French says this time he won't go easy.
JA ？？？？: 昔よりも、さらにキツーイやつをな！ ‘An even harsher one than in the old days!’ English promises a different kind of lesson; Japanese promises one even harsher than in the past.
DE Und diesmal bin ich nicht so ein liebes Herrchen wie damals ... ‘And this time I am not such a kind master as back then...’ German has him recall once being her "master", a hint at their past that English leaves out.

K'lyhia

Aaaaaah!

Aersthota

K'lyhia! Nophica preserve us, she's fainted! We must withdraw!

Geissfryn

[name], quickly! Back to the boat! We'll carry the foreseer!

DE [name], schaffst du es alleine zurück zur Gilde? ‘[name], can you make it back to the guild alone?’ English urges you back to the boat with them; German asks if you can reach the guild alone.
JA お主なら、自力でギルドへ帰れるな？ ‘Someone like you can get back to the guild on your own, right?’ English urges you back to the boat with them; Japanese expects you to return to the guild alone.

???: Aye, that's right! Ye slink on back to yer mistress, ye worthless curs! Gahahahaha!

FR C'est ça, rentrez à Limsa Lominsa, et dites à cette chienne de Bloefhiswyn qu'elle peut s'mettre ses inspections de douane où j'pense ! ‘That's right, go back to Limsa Lominsa, and tell that bitch Bloefhiswyn that she can stick her customs inspections you know where!’ French names the Admiral, Bloefhiswyn, and sends her a crude message; English only calls them worthless curs.
DE Kriech zurück und leck Admiral Meckerweib die Schuhe, Schoßhündchen! ‘Crawl back and lick Admiral Nag-Woman's shoes, lapdog!’ German adds the image of licking the Admiral's shoes; English just says slink back to your mistress.
JA ？？？？: フン、帰ってアバズレ提督の靴でも舐めていろ！ ‘Hmph, go home and go lick the shoes of that bitch of an Admiral!’ Japanese tells them to go lick the Admiral's shoes; English says slink back to your mistress.

Aersthota

We'll take care of K'lyhia. You'd best return to the Arcanists' Guild and report to Mistress Thubyrgeim.

Defeat the crew of the Morningstar!

K'lyhia

Commence Stratagem Hardhead!

DE Blitzattacke! ‘Lightning attack! We must break through the enemy line!’ English calls the tactic "Stratagem Hardhead"; German calls it "Blitzattacke", a lightning attack.

[name]! It's Topaz Carbuncle's time to shine!

Our healer must be protected first and foremost!

FR Envoie Carbuncle encaisser les coups à la place de Geissfryn ! ‘Send Carbuncle to take the blows in Geissfryn's place!’ French gives a concrete order: Carbuncle takes the hits for Geissfryn. English only says protect the healer.

Aersthota

Too many. Just too many...

FR Je... suis... désolée... ‘I'm... sorry...!’ English: Aersthota falls overwhelmed by numbers; French: she apologizes.
DE Das war mein letzter Kampf ... ‘That was my last fight...’ English: Aersthota falls overwhelmed by numbers; German: she says that was her last fight.
JA みんな、すまない……！ ‘Everyone, I'm sorry...!’ English: Aersthota falls overwhelmed by numbers; Japanese: she apologizes to everyone.

Geissfryn

I must learn...to cure...my own wounds...

FR Arrrgh... ‘Arrrgh...!’ English: the healer jokes he must learn to cure his own wounds; French only cries out.
DE Legt Lilien auf mein Grab ... ‘Lay lilies on my grave...’ English: the healer jokes he must learn to cure his own wounds; German: he asks for lilies on his grave.

K'lyhia

This scenario was not entirely unexpected...

FR Je... n'ai pas su prrrévoir cette si-situation... ‘I... failed to foresee this si-situation...’ English: K'lyhia says this was not entirely unexpected; French: she failed to foresee it.
DE Das hatte ich anders errechnet ... ‘I had calculated that differently...’ English: K'lyhia says this was not entirely unexpected; German: she had calculated otherwise.
JA 想定のなかで、最悪の状況です……。 ‘Of the scenarios I had envisaged, this is the worst situation...’ Japanese calls it the worst of the cases she had planned for; English only says not entirely unexpected.

Report to Thubyrgeim at the Arcanists' Guild.

Thubyrgeim

It is good to see you well, [name]. Geissfryn sent word ahead of your travails. An unfortunate turn of events, but considering the infamous blackheart you faced, you might have fared much worse.

DE Was, die Inspektion war ein Fehlschlag? ‘What, the inspection was a failure?’ English: Geissfryn already sent word; German: Thubyrgeim only now learns the inspection failed.

Have you heard of the pirate Doesmaga? He was exiled from Limsa Lominsa some years ago, but it appears he has chosen to defy the Admiral's orders.

And once more he dares lay a hand on Foreseer K'lyhia! The poor lass must have been terrified. If I had known Doesmaga was aboard that ship, I never would have assigned her that duty.

The assessor may require some time to recover─for K'lyhia, that man is a nightmare made flesh.

DE Es ist etwas vorgefallen, über das sie nicht sprechen kann. ‘Something happened that she cannot talk about.’ German says something happened she cannot speak of; English calls him her nightmare made flesh.

Though her physical wounds will soon mend, there is little we can do to salve the hurt to her mind. You are concerned? Angry, mayhap? Harness that energy, and channel it into your training. I predict we shall be needing your skills again before long.
