Accepting the quest

Hremfing

Perhaps you've heard of the Corpse Brigade─a nasty band of brigands that's been terrorizing these parts of late.

Smuggling, thievery, cold-blooded murder of innocents─if you see any signs of foul play in these parts, like as not the Corpses are behind it.

I'd like nothing more than to march into their hideout to the northeast and teach them a lesson, but I know when I'm outmatched. Normally, I'd hesitate to trust a task to an outsider, but you seem a capable sort. What say you teach those scofflaws a lesson?

Report to Hremfing.

Hremfing

Thank you, outsider─your victory is already the talk of the town. That may not mark the end of the Corpse Brigade, but at least now they know we're not afraid to fight back!

  • DE Sie sind eine Schande für uns Mhigiten! ‘They are a disgrace to us Mhigites!’ English says now the bandits know the town will fight back; German calls them a disgrace to Mhigites.
  • JA 戦う間に、気づいたかもしれないが……奴らは全員、アラミゴ人なんだ。 ‘As you may have noticed while fighting... they are all Ala Mhigans.’ English says now the bandits know the town will fight back; Japanese reveals they are all Ala Mhigans.

And to think these men and women were once my countrymen. Do they know no shame?

  • DE Wenn du wüsstest ... Aber lass unsere Sorgen mal unsere Sorgen sein. ‘If only you knew ... But let our worries be our worries.’ English asks whether they know no shame; German hints at more he will not share and keeps his worries to himself.

Back in the heyday of Ala Mhigo, the Corpse Brigade served our nation with pride and honor. It saddens me to see what they have become, but I would slay them down to the last if it would ensure that they besmirch our homeland's name no more.

  • DE Jedenfalls vielen Dank für deine Hilfe. ‘Anyway, many thanks for your help.’ English recalls that the Brigade once served the nation with honor; German just thanks the player.
  • DE Wenn wir diese Verbrecher ungestraft walten lassen, wirft das auch ein schlechtes Licht auf Klein-Ala Mhigo. ‘If we let these criminals go unpunished, that also casts a bad light on Little Ala Mhigo.’ English vows to slay them to the last to protect the homeland's name; German worries about Little Ala Mhigo's image.
  • JA あんたの協力には、本当に感謝してるよ。 ‘I'm truly grateful for your help.’ English recalls that the Brigade once served the nation with honor; Japanese just thanks the player.
  • JA ともかく、奴らをのさばらせておいては、リトルアラミゴの印象まで悪くなるからな。 ‘Anyway, if we let them run rampant, even Little Ala Mhigo's image will suffer.’ English vows to slay them to the last to protect the homeland's name; Japanese worries about Little Ala Mhigo's image.
