Aht Urhgan Mission 16: Ghosts of the Past/Plot Details

The Ashu Talif
The adventurer appears on a old ship..

???: Mwahahahaha...

A ghost appears.

Fhu Madihmin: Mwahaha... I am Fhu Madihmin... Mwahahahaha... I don't get many visitors here on the edge of the roof... Bwahahahaha... What could you be looking for? Mwahaha... You don't have to answer me. I know what you seek... Mwahahahaha... Bwahahahaha... That Ephramadian Gold Coin you clutch in your flesh-and-blood hand... mwahahaha... will be your fare to board the Coffin... My cutter will take you to the... Coffin. Oh, most definitely... Through the mists, I will be your guide... A humble, forgotten ferrywoman... Time... flows on and around us... Your Ephramadian Gold Coin will be mine, one way or another... Mwahahahaha... Bwahaha... Does your courage fail you?

Do you wish to return the way you came? Choice was "Time to leave".

Fhu Madihmin: Mwahahahaha... The Ephramadian Gold Coin is gone! Bwahahaha... The fare is paid... Farewell...

''The fairy brings the Adventurer to the Black Coffin. The adventurer stands on board - around him 5 ghosts... The adventurer get ready to attack.''

???: Admirtal, an Imperial dog has boarded our ship...

???: Kill him.

Suddenly Gessho appears from nowhere.

Gessho: <>! This place will be your death. We must retreat!

With that he spread dust into the ghosts and disappears with the adventurer.

Gessho: They finally show their forms... I had concealed my presence, but sensed a chill in the air. Then I noticed you on the deck, with some rather unfriendly company. I must admit to my surprise. But it is good to see another Sentinel who shares my instincts. The being that gave the orders... His supernatural aura was palpable. We can assume he is the captain of the ship. If we can uncover the true identity of that apparition, the secrets of the ghost ship will be ours. Fortunately, I have another Ephramadian Gold Coin for me, and one for you. When you are prepared, let us return to the Ashu Talif, blades bared!

After the fight the admiral warp the Adventurer and Gessho out.

Nashmau
Gessho: Nashmau...? !!!

He sees the adventurer lays down at the docks.

Gessho: <>!

The Adventurer stands up.

Pyopyoroon: Pyopyo-pyorooon! It's the ghooost hunter! Yooo jump from ghooost ship! Pyopyoroon not believing eyes!

Gessho: Our efforts seem in vain. The Ashu Talif and her crow still haunts these seas... That captain... The strange aura he conceals... No, I am most likely thinking too much. And I have yet to report to you the information I have discovered about that vessel. If the rumors are true, the ship we boarded is known as the "Black Coffin." However, according to the history books, the Black Coffin was meant to have sunk almost two hundred years ago... At the time, she was crowed by the rebels of Ephramad. Also known as "corsairs." This word basically means "pirate". But the corsairs were far more than simple brigands. They were the heroes of a lost kingdom, clashing valiantly against the vast might of the Empire in a bid to reclaim their nation. The admiral that led to corsairs into battle... was Prince Luzaf. A courageous warrior feared by his enemies... Ah, it seems my feathers have dried... These are not for plucking! I shall return to my tale. This port town of Nashmau, now home to these Qiqirn, was once a naval base built by the surviving citizens of Ephramad. With Nashmau at their center, the Arrapago Island were the last refuge remaining to the survivors of Ephramad... And the last stronghold of Prince Luzaf... He carried the torch of his people's hopes, and turned it into a blazing inferno for vengeance... If the rumors are indeed accurate, then man we encountered on that ship... In any case, we are certain that the Ashu Talif is more than just a tavern rumor. It may sound like another fairy tale, but I intend to report everything I have learned to President Naja. If we tell her the same on different occasion, she may place more credence to the story. Our mercenary assessment should benefit from this as well, do you n ot agree? I leave immediately for Al Zahbi! I advise you to do the same. Farewell, <>!
