Limsa Lominsa (4,7)

Hasthwab: Alright, alright. Don't go gettin' yer smallclothes in a bloody jumble. I was jus' givin' the rum a little time t' do 'er work.

Hasthwab: Now, where was I? Oh, aye! Spend enough time in this city an' ye'll 'ear yer share o' fell rumors regardin' Shposhae. 'Tis a fishback den, some say. Others reckon it 'aunted-crawlin' wi' wights an' corposants an' whatnot. There's even them as say it be the First Gate of th' seven 'ells 'emselves! Heh heh!

Hasthwab: But 'ere's the rub: 'tain't none o' them things. Them lot is lies see. Lies dreamed up by Cap'n Mistbeard an' 'is blighted crew. What better wise t' keep out intruders than by convincin' 'em a fishback skeleton'll rip their cursin' 'ead off an' drag 'em down to th' seventh 'ell the moment they sets foot in th' place?

Hasthwab: 'Course, we all fell fer it, 'ook, line, an' bloody sinker! Ten summers, an' not a single soul went near. Not a single soul-'til now, that is. Hasthwab:But who in the seven 'ells was this Cap'n Mistbeard, ye ask? Well, nobody's sure when the first one appeared, but spend enough time wi' yer nose in them molder' tomes they's got at Mealvaan's Gate an' ye'll notice that every generation's got its very own pirate king-with each one tryin' to outplunder the bugger before.

Hasthwab: Anyroad, the most recent one-that's ol' Mistbeard-got it into 'is 'ead to raid the sultan of Ul'dah's royal weddin', and, bein' a darin' sort o' soul, went an' bloody did it. 'Tis said, once the final tally was taken, the cap'n an' 'is crew made off with ten score gold ingots, five an' fifty purebred black chocobo skins, a ten-ponze diamond from th' wastes of Meracydia...an' the' biggest prize of all-th' virgin bride's maiden'ead! Now, I cannot rightly vouch fer that last claim, but there be some what say the current sultana bears a strikin' resemblance to a certain 'andsome bandit. Heh heh heh!

Hasthwab: But, instead of returnin' t' Limsa as livin' legends, the cap'n an' 'is crew simply up an' vanished...along with the booty.

Hasthwab: Since then, every pirate on th' five seas 'as been searchin' for that bloody stash. Why, there be merchants in Limsa what make a decent livin' 'awkin' fake maps t' deep-pocketed fortune 'unters! But try as they might, no one 'ad found so much as a single gil...'til a few nights gone.

Hasthwab: From what I 'ear, the Salt'ounds sent a pair o' their whelps into Shposhae as part o' some initiation or other. Acutally, knowin' them, they probably just wanted t' scare the shite out of the poor buggers. Thing is, though, when the lads came out, 'tweren't fear in their eyes, but triumph. 'Tweren't sweat in their palms, 'twas gold. Allagan gold...like what was nicked durin' the sultan's ceremony.

Hasthwab: 'Course, the Salt'ounds tried t' keep th' 'hole business quiet so's they could 'oard th' loot fer 'emselves, but when them dim-witted whelps o' theirs started buyin' booze 'n' 'ores wi' foreign coin, 'tweren't long afore th' 'ole bloody city-state knew o' their find.

Hasthwab:T' keep things civil-like, th' cap'n assigned a neutral watch o'er the entrance. Lass by the name of F'ongho's doin' the 'onors. Won't bar a man from tryin' 'is luck in th' cave, but she will make sure no scrag takes more'n 'is share, whether 'e be pirate or drylander.

Hasthwab: Just be certain t' present yerself t' th' lass afore ye go in, or she might be inclined t' stick a knife in yer back as ye pass. And don't think she won't. I earned meself a few scars learnin' that bloody lesson.

Hasthwab: F'ongho'll be the least o' yer worries, though. While ye won't be winin' wendigos or serenadin' Sahagin, ye can bet ye'll be gettin' cozy with Shposhae's real residents-'orrors what'll turn yer bowels t' water...an' the rest o' ye t' dinner.

Hasthwab:Spoke like a true pirate! Now, if that be all, I'd like to get back t' this 'ere bottle o' rum.
