Requirements

Offer: Eh, hehehe, sorry! I always get excited when I think about vengeance. I'm Madeleine. That jerk Phantom stole my family's whole fortune! That's why my sisters and I are working here.
But we're not exactly the fightingest gals in the world, ya know? We did find his hideout, though. It's under a rock in the South Desert, and a Thief Crow guards the way in. Could you beat that crow so it can't warn him?
Then go see our cousin Ardin. He lives in the house in eastern Versariant, and he'll show you the rest. Be careful out there, boss!
In progress: You just have to defeat the Thief Crow in the South Desert, then find Ardin at the house in eastern Versariant. Easy!
Completion: ....What are you staring at? The South Desert? With the crows? Get in here, quick!...There. The door's bolted. I'm Ardin, and I'm nobody's cousin.
There's no Phantom under that rock. There never was. The Sisters of Gold send treasure hunters out there for the crows to rob, and then they sell the gossip to the Queen's guards.
And the guards sell it to Naricain's followers. That blue jewel was bait for anyone looking for a tear, and you bit. Now Will's people know someone is sniffing around Versariant. Still, you fought your way back. That counts for something.
This is the hideout of the Sand Bandits. You're safe here. Eleska's in the back room, and she'll want a word with you.
