Sword Quest XIII - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Kilgamayan]

> Relative to our current position and to each other, where are the Human Village, the Hakurei Shrine, the entrance to the Underground, the house of the explorer kids, and the Bamboo Forest?

[Hello Purvis]

> Relative to our current position and to each other, where are the Human Village, the Hakurei Shrine, the entrance to the Underground, the house of the explorer kids, and the Bamboo Forest?

>The Human Village is to the north, the Hakurei Shrine is to the northeast, the entrance to the underground is far north and a bit east, the house is about twice a far away north as the village, and the bamboo forest is far to the northwest.

> So dying in Gensokyo can be considered a time in your life that has really gone south?

> Is the Human Village the closest things to our current location, or is it the Hakurei Shrine?

[Hello Purvis]

> So dying in Gensokyo can be considered a time in your life that has really gone south?

> Is the Human Village the closest things to our current location, or is it the Hakurei Shrine?

>...Replace all those norths with souths. Many people will be fired.
>Yes.

> "Hmm. I wonder if the dining establishment in the village is still operational at this time of night. I do have a small bit of business there that I should take care of before I forget it."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Oh, definitely not," says Seiga.

[Monarda]

>"Is that so ? Hmm..."
>Do we have any knowledge about other places we can have a meal ?

[Hello Purvis]

>"Is that so ? Hmm..."
>Do we have any knowledge about other places we can have a meal ?

>You may be out of luck in that regard, outside of trekking down to the Ancient City. You can't imagine that place lets sundown stop it.

[Kilgamayan]

> "I fear we may be out of luck in that regard, then."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I fear we may be out of luck in that regard, then."

>"It's fine, Crown Prince," says Tojiko. "Dinner's the last thing on my mind, after all that."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "In that case, our visit to the village shall be short."

[Hello Purvis]

> "In that case, our visit to the village shall be short."

>"Very well, Crown Prince," says Futo.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Redirect out flight toward the Human Village.

> Off the top of our head, what major locations in the Village are close enough to the Buddhist Temple that the front of the Temple is within earshot?

> "By the way, once we return to the Lunarian manor..."
> Look at and gesture to Seiga and Yoshika.
> "...I will wish to speak to you two in private, and..."
> Look at and gesture to Futo and Tojiko.
> "...I will then wish to speak to you two in private."

>The Myouren Temple is at the edge of town. There are some homes that are somewhat close by, but by and large you would have to raise something of a ruckus before it would cause problems.
>"That is fine, Crown Prince," says Seiga.
>"Very well," says Tojiko, as Futo gives a nod.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Good. Thank you."
> "So the reason we are visiting the village is so I may deliver a message to that temple, as previously agreed upon between myself and their matriarch. We will part upon message deliverance so as to not force their presence upon you all for long."

>"Perhaps we should remain behind, Crown Prince?" says Tojiko. "They most certainly didn't take well to just Futo and I showing up this morning."
>"Should we extend such trust to them?" says Futo. "It is one thing to travel with Hijiri while all three of us are here to keep her in check."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I think perhaps it would be best for you to keep a reasonable distance, once that keeps the front entrance visible and you could hurry to if necessary, but also not close enough to be considered threatening. I do not wish for us to come across as aggressive, but I also do not want to be thought to be alone."

>"How far back would you say?" says Seiga.

[Kilgamayan]

> How thickly settled is that area of the village?

[Hello Purvis]

> How thickly settled is that area of the village?

>Sparsely. Past the Myouren temple are the farmlands.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Three or four houses, perhaps?

[Hello Purvis]

> "Three or four houses, perhaps?

>"That should suffice, I would hope," says Futo.
>The edge of town is coming into view. There is practically no activity to speak of, and very little in the way of lights.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> As is to be expected, at this hour.
> Fly to the town proper, land, and make our way on foot toward the temple.

[Hello Purvis]

> As is to be expected, at this hour.
> Fly to the town proper, land, and make our way on foot toward the temple.

>You land. Making your way toward the temple, your companions hang back around the edge of the temple grounds. Everything is quiet, there seems to be no cries of alarm from the temple. You make your way past several wooden statues and reach the front steps without issue.

[Kilgamayan]

> No sign of anyone awake? Not even the ghost or the nyuudo?

[Hello Purvis]

> No sign of anyone awake? Not even the ghost or the nyuudo?

>Not that you can see. It is an open question whether or not they sleep, however.

>_

[Monarda]

>So we can either try to call for someone or enter the temple regardless, i leave the choice to Kilga.

[Kilgamayan]

> Were any lights on inside the temple?

[Hello Purvis]

>So we can either try to call for someone or enter the temple regardless, i leave the choice to Kilga.

>You suppose that outlines two ways one could go about things.

> Were any lights on inside the temple?

>Not that you have seen.

[Kilgamayan]

> How late in the evening is it at this point?
