>You make your way toward the tengu village. As you fly over the kappa village, you note that there's no one on the roads or the front grounds of the university at all. As you pass by the quiet village, you notice a patrol approaching you. Observing it, you note a particular wolf tengu leading them once again.

He's set up defensive spells that make it completely impossible to approach either him or the money, and he's currently gathering energy that he's going to use to obliterate everyone's money completely."
