Lhusu Square

Miners’ Ender (woman leaning against wall, talking to man): I hear that the quality of the magicite taken from the mines has dropped, but this is most odd. All the Stones I have seen are of highest grade!
Lhusu Parivir: We are parivir, sworn to defend those who work the mines. Many raksas dwell in Lhusu! Very, very dangerous place. Thus are we needed. You have the look of someone new. You would do well to hire us, should you wish to enter Lhusu. Of course, not today, for the mines are closed.
Lhusu Miner (man with back against wall): You carry potions and elixirs, do you not? Haa… Their value cannot be overestimated! Better than magicks, many times. Especially for healing!
Lhusu Miner (man sitting cross-legged on crate): A friend of mine, he found a great treasure deep in the mines, but when he went to reach for it, ayi! It was a raksas! A most horrible fiend! Not all treasure is treasure, bhadra.
Street Vendor: Normally I sell my wares to the miners, bhadra, but with the mines closed, business is, how shall I say it? Dead. Take a look, won’t you? [shop menu]
Cartographers’ Guild: On a trip into the mines? Would you like to buy a map, kupo?
[Select a map to purchase.
Bhujerba 70
Lhusu Mines 650

So long, kupo!
Lhusu Parivir/Aekom: Today all work in the mines had stopped, bhadra. An inspection party has come from Archadia, yes. They have brought many guards. There is no need for our guild of bodyguards, the parivir.
Balthier: The Lhusu Mines: one of the richest veins in Ivalice.
Basch: Under Imperial guard, no doubt.
Lamont: Actually, no. With but few exceptions, the Imperial army is not permitted in Bhujerba. Well, shall we proceed?
[Balthier and Basch look at each other. Lamont heads for the mine entrance.]
