Quesada's Swan

Zephyr: "Okay, people, this is it. Ulzebek."

Iron Mask notices no guards around.

Zephyr thinks that stationing guards in town wouldn't be practical from their standpoint.

Zephyr: "The last place they would look for their enemies is on their own doorstep."
Shionne: "That is, assuming anyone actually made it here before us."

Someone raises their hand and calls out to Zephyr. Our next stop awaits.

We ask a local about the town. Ulzebek is mostly a farming rather than a mining town.

The chicken eggs were taken by the soldiers, though...

One Crimson Crows member is hiding inside a house, still in shock at the power of the soldiers.

One man tells his wife he's joining the Crimson Crows...

Going back up, where one man is now thinking of asking the Crimson Crows for more supplies, and out, I notice something sparkling at the town fountain...

Using jump skills, I find an Apple Gel there.

Shionne: "Should this really be here?"

I go up more steps, where someone is going to be sent back to Mosgul after they've recovered...

I try leaving, but a guard warns us about the zeugles beyond.

In a circle, people are trying to dissuade someone from joining the Crimson Crows. They've lost hope at this point...

From a Crimson Crows member, the place I was about to head to was the Iglia Wastes, full of stray zeugles, and ruins...

Climbing up more ladders, one Crimson Crows member has a good message: stay hydrated.

One ladder later, I get some more ingredients...

After some small talk, I make our way to an inn.

Shionne: "Looks like we get to sleep with a roof over our heads."

I check around, then the item shop, where it's a Life Bottle and some meat. Sadly, we have no money...

I sell some stuff and leave...

At least the inn's free...

I go to the north gate, where a Crimson Crows member warns us about more guards ahead.

Up to the steps to the hideout, Nayth waits for us.

A Crimson Crows member secretly gives rations to a father so he could feed his kids...

After exploring the upper west side of the town some more, I head in.
