Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn – Double Dealing

Staelwyrn worries his sack of oranges will not reach the La Thagran Checkpoint as planned.

Staelwyrn: Pains me to say, but all the gil in the world can’t buy loyalty. There are some, like you, who can be trusted. But then there are others…
Staelwyrn: Until now, I’ve had no choice but to rely on that charlatan Sevrin, even though I am full aware he’s been doin’ shady deals behind my back. More than once I’ve heard tell of improper tradin’ with goblins.
Staelwyrn: I wouldn’t be the least surprised if that were happenin’ right now. Not a bell ago, a sack of oranges vanished, as did Sevrin. I want you to find and confront the bastard for me, Croix. I’m sure there’s wrongdoin’ afoot, so be sure to doubt anythin’ that comes out of his mouth.

Sevrin: Bloody hells! I’m up the strait without a paddle!
Sevrin: What’s this now? Staelwyrn sent you for the oranges? Huh… So the old bugger had known all this time… Argh, what does it matter anyway?
Sevrin: Listen, you’re one o’ those goody-goody adventurer types, right? Go rescue me mates from those double-dealin’ goblins! They’re just over yonder by the bonfire.

Eyrimhus: Sevrin sent you? Hah! The way he flew out of here, I was sure he’d sold us down the river!

Sozai Rarzai: If you hadn’t come, my dodo would’ve been cooked! Mmm…cooked dodo.

Aylmer: I owe you one. Would’ve gotten away meself if not fer Sevrin shovin’ me aside.

Sevrin: You saved me mates, and for that, I owe you.
Sevrin: S’pose I should be ashamed I couldn’t clean up my own mess…
Sevrin: …But a pirate knows no shame! I’ve no qualms about goin’ back on my word! I’m only givin’ you this sack ’cause I like the cut of your jib. Take it to Ossine, an’ send him my regards.

Ossine: What have we here? A delivery from Summerford Farms, and as scheduled? Hah! There’s a first time for everything!
Ossine: Well, look at that… Not a single one missing, either! About the only things not here are those bagmen, and I don’t miss them one bit.
Ossine: Here’s Staelwyrn’s payment in full. With you, I can trust it’ll reach him!

Staelwyrn: Back in one piece! That’s a relief. How did you fare, Croix?
Staelwyrn: Ah, this is what I was aimin’ for! Looks to be all I was owed, all right. Though, I’d be tellin’ you false if I claimed I had not held out more hope for Sevrin.
Staelwyrn: I was even willin’ to overlook the skimmin’ off the top, but to sell us all short in favor of those godsforsaken goblins… (sigh)
Staelwyrn: You’d do well to mind yourself around that two-gil cheat. If he’d leave his own mates for dead, there’s no tellin’ what he’d do to you.
