10TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEQ_00Shashepya seeks an adventurer who likes getting up close and personal.
21TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEQ_01Shashepya, a woman from a secluded village in the forests of Xak Tural, has been searching for one who can aid in the retrieval of her home's stolen treasure, the Dreamweave Cocoon. Those who possess it possess the power to mimic not only the form, but abilities of anyone they have seen. According to an eyewitness, the thief was headed towards Kugane, which is where the foremost hunter of her village, I'toca, has followed in pursuit. Yet with no word of I'toca's progress in days, Shashepya is worried the hunter may require the aid of one more familiar with the land, and suggests you may find her by inquiring at the local tavern.
32TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEQ_02You encounter a patron in the Shiokaze Hostelry who happened to see a Viera woman matching I'toca's description near the Sekiseigumi Barracks. With any luck, she will still be there.
43TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEQ_03I'toca quickly welcomes your assistance and explains that despite knowing the thief is a Hyuran male, the cocoon's power of mimicry makes him a difficult quarry to capture. The only lead she has are recent rumors of squabbles breaking out around the city which have no clear instigators. Find the source of these squabbles, and you will find the thief─or so I'toca believes.
54TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEQ_04Two pairs of eyes and ears are better than one, and so I'toca petitions your aid in searching the Rakuza District. ※You must be accompanied by I'toca to complete this task. Speak with her again should you become separated.
65TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEQ_05You witness an altercation between a cowering clerk and a belligerent customer, with the behavior of the latter seeming to match that of the thief's presumed modus operandi. I'toca lobs the remedy at him without hesitation, unfortunately to no effect but to upset the man further. Shrugging off this faux pas, she suggests visiting Kogane Dori next.
76TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEQ_06A dispute between two samurai nearly comes to blows, but thanks to a timely lobbed remedy, you and I'toca discover that the wife instigating the fight is actually the thief in disguise. Unperturbed at having his plan foiled, the thief uses the cocoon to transform into a hawk and takes flight. I'toca attempts to shoot him down without avail. For a blessing, no harm has come to those involved in the dispute, and the Sekiseigumi thank you for revealing the perpetrator, vowing to spread the story of the scoundrel's misdeeds among the populace and redouble their efforts at keeping them safe.
87TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEQ_07Reiterating how grateful she is for your help, I'toca informs you she will remain in Kugane to follow up on leads regarding the thief's potential whereabouts. Given some time, she will no doubt have new insights to offer. ※The next role quest will be available from I'toca upon reaching level 92 in any melee DPS class.

4948TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_000Hello there! I take it you've spoken with Br'uk Evu. Willing to lend a hand?
5049TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_001I am truly grateful! Then allow me to introduce myself: I am Shashepya, and I have traveled far from my village in the forests of Xak Tural in search of a brave soul to help us retrieve our stolen treasure.
5150TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_002For generations have my people watched over the Dreamweave Cocoon─the vessel in which the power of the swallowtail tural vidraal is sealed.
5251TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_100_002Before its ascension, the swallowtail warded off would-be predators by assuming the form of more threatening butterflies─poisonous ones and the like─through its skill at mimicry.
5352TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_100_003
5453TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_003So it survived, day after day, summer after summer, until the dawn of its great new existence. It became capable of taking on the form of any creature which crossed its path.
5554TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_004This fearsome power was sealed within the cocoon, and any who possess it command the selfsame abilities. Indeed, the wielder, too, may assume the form of any manner of beast or man they've beheld.
5655TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_005Yet this mimicry is not limited to merely physical forms. No, the wielder may replicate the talents and abilities of their target─so long as such actions fall within their ken, that is.
5756TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_100_005In an instant, they may become a master of the hunt─a twin-blade-wielding viper. Or a savage br'aax, with claws and fangs to gut whomsoever they please.
5857TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_100_006It is this power which has protected my village from the predators of the forest. For though it grants many boons, the forest contains threats in equal measure. By donning the skins of its most formidable beasts, we've kept ourselves safe for generations.
5958TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_006Without the cocoon, my village's very survival is at risk. That is why we have sent our foremost hunter, I'toca, to ensure it is reclaimed.
6059TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_007She has never failed to capture her quarry, so I thought she would make short work of this ordeal...yet there has been no word from her. I fear this may be a hunt she cannot undertake alone.
6160TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_008It is for that reason I wish to enlist the aid of one familiar with the lay of the land beyond the great sea─and one whose prowess in close quarters would complement her expertise with the bow.
6261TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_009One of the villagers ran into the thief before he fled, and said he intended to use the cocoon's power in “Kugane,” which I understand is the name of a large settlement located far, far to the east.
6362TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_010
6463TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_011Please, for the sake of my home, set out for this eastern habitation, and assist I'toca with retrieving the cocoon!
6564TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_012The situation here is dire, so I won't insist that you set out now─I ask only that you join I'toca in this eastern habitation, and assist her in retrieving the cocoon at your earliest convenience. My village's survival depends on it!
6665TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_Q1_000_000What will you say?
6766TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_A1_000_001Leave it to me.
6867TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_A1_000_002As long as you're willing to cover my teleportation expenses.
6968TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_013Your willingness to aid is most reassuring! You have my heartfelt thanks.
7069TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_014Forgive me, but... What is a teleportation?
7170TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_015Well, if it is a required expense, rest assured I'toca will compensate you for it. She's been entrusted with a fair sum of the village's combined reserves. Whatever she needs to track down this villain, she will have─and so shall you.
7271TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_016Upon arriving in the eastern land, search for a Viera woman carrying a bow and dressed in similar attire to myself.
7372TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_017If you visit a “tavern” like this one, I daresay you may find someone who has seen her.
7473TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHASHEPYA_000_020
7574TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHITAN_000_030Welcome to the Shiokaze Hostelry. How may I serve you?
7675TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHITAN_000_031You're searching for someone? As a matter of fact, I do distinctly remember seeing a Viera woman of that description earlier, but I'm afraid I could not tell you where she may be now.
7776TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_HABOKU_000_032A lass from “Tural,” was it? Sorry, can't help you.
7877TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_HABOKU_000_033That reminds me, though... I heard Tural has its own local variety of spirits called mezcal. Been meaning to taste it myself for an age now, but you've no idea how hard it is to get one's hands on a bottle of it here.
7978TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_HAYATAKA_100_034A Viera woman bearing a bow? Why yes, I do recall such a person. It was hard not to notice her, really, given how she was peering at every little thing.
8079TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_HAYATAKA_100_035If she came from the distant lands to the west, no doubt Kugane is quite the unusual sight for her. With any luck, she'll still be where I saw her: in the vicinity of the Sekiseigumi Barracks.
8180TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHITAN_000_034
8281TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHITAN_000_035
8382TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHITAN_000_040My deepest apologies that I could not assist you further. I wish you the best of luck in finding her.
8483TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_HABOKU_000_041Tell me, have you had a taste of mezcal yourself? Can you describe its flavor? Smell? Texture? Kami be merciful, I must have a cup!
8584TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_HAYATAKA_100_042No doubt she will be grateful to have someone familiar with our city and customs at her side. I only hope you can find her.
8685TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SHITAN_000_042
8786TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_050<sigh> This city is simply too large for me to cover alone... Perhaps it's time I returned home.
8887TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_Q2_000_000What will you say?
8988TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_A2_000_001I'toca?
9089TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_A2_000_002I've come to aid your search, I'toca.
9190TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_051(-I'toca-)Y-Yes, I am she. And you are...?
9291TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_052(-I'toca-)O-Oh, is that right? I'm grateful, but...why?
9392TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_053(-I'toca-)I see... Shashepya always was a worrywart. Won't deny I appreciate the help, though. Ascertaining the whereabouts of the cocoon has been no easy task.
9493TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_054(-I'toca-)I managed to secure room and board in this lodging after arriving in Kugane, and have been using it as a base to track down the thief ever since. I'll tell you all I know.
9594TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_055(-I'toca-)According to an eyewitness from my village, the thief is a middle-aged Hyuran male. That's all we have to go on regarding his appearance.
9695TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_056(-I'toca-)Yet so long as he possesses the cocoon, he can be anyone and anything─an elderly woman traipsing along the street, a child throwing a ball─mayhap even the dog chasing after it. Truth be told, I was nigh at wit's end trying to find him...
9796TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_057(-I'toca-)That is, until I discovered that a series of unusual squabbles have been occurring around the city. After investigating these incidents, I found one commonality: the instigator in each case invariably had no recollection of the incident, let alone of *inciting* it.
9897TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_100_057(-I'toca-)What's more, eerie accounts have begun to circulate amongst the residents. Some folk claim they've somehow been seen in two places at once.
9998TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_058(-I'toca-)Based on all this, I believe the thief's been using the Dreamweave Cocoon to transform into innocents and spread discord throughout the city.
10099TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_059
101100TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_100_059(-I'toca-)Stands to reason we can find him by following the trail of chaos left in his wake, no? And yet, even should we apprehend him─in whatever form he's hidden himself within─there's nothing to stop him from feigning ignorance.
102101TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_060(-I'toca-)...Besides a secret remedy, of course. The recipe for an elixir which can forcibly remove the cocoon's enchantment has been passed down in my village for emergencies like this. I made sure to prepare a few vials before making the voyage here.
103102TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_061
104103TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_100_061(-I'toca-)I need simply throw the solution at the suspect and the cocoon's weave of mimicry will unfurl on the spot.
105104TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_062(-I'toca-)That covers everything. Now, what say we see if there's any trouble afoot? The thief will undoubtedly not be far from it. Let me know when you're ready─we'll catch him together.
106105TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_070Ready to set off, then? Perfect. I say we begin our search with the markets. I recall a great number of people gathering in the Rakuza District, I believe it was called.
107106TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SYSTEM_000_071I'toca is now accompanying you. Keep her at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
108107TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SYSTEM_000_072You can leave I'toca behind by entering a different area, or by speaking with her and selecting the option to part ways.
109108TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SYSTEM_000_073If you wish to have I'toca accompany you again, return and speak with her at the original location.

117116TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_076My people have ever lived in harmony with nature, but that doesn't mean we condemn the ways of those who choose otherwise. In fact, in the brief time I've been exposed to settlements like this, I've come to see such places have their merits, too.
118117TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_A5_000_000**Talk about the sea.
119118TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_077I can't believe how impossibly vast it is! My jaw dropped when I first saw it─I could hardly fathom where the horizon ended and the sea began! Before arriving in Tuliyollal, I'd imagined the sea to be merely a larger, saltier body of water than the lake back home.
120119TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_078There, we would race from shore to shore. To attempt the same here, I fear, would have fatal results.

122121TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_080An urgent matter, I take it? Very well, I'll be waiting for you at my lodging. Every moment we give this thousand-faced villain is a moment for him to sow more seeds of chaos throughout the city... So please try to return soon.

155154TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SAMIDARE_000_311(-Insidious Individual-)Was that really necessary?
156155TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SAMIDARE_000_312(-Insidious Individual-)No matter, I was growing weary of this petty farce. It's time I moved on to bigger and better things.
157156TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_313Oh no you don't!
158157TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_314H-How odd... My bow is more out of tune than I realized.
159158TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_WOMAN04830_000_315Sweetheart!
160159TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_HYURANSAMURAI_000_316Is it really you? Oh thank the kami you're safe!
161160TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEKISEIGUMIBLADE04830_000_317I found her lying unconscious in a nearby alleyway. She could only vaguely recall being attacked from behind before losing consciousness.
162161TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_318So the villain knocked her out before assuming her visage in a ploy to deceive her husband.
163162TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_HYURANSAMURAI_000_319I fell for the deception like a complete and utter fool. I do not even know how to begin to make amends...
164163TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_ROEGADYNSAMURAI_000_320There are no amends to be made. You simply acted as any husband would.
165164TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEKISEIGUMIBLADE04830_000_321Due to your involvement, this matter was resolved without bloodshed. The Sekiseigumi thank you.
166165TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_SEKISEIGUMIBLADE04830_000_322'Tis regrettable, however, that the villain managed to escape. A criminal who can change their shape at will is exceedingly dangerous. Know that the Sekiseigumi will alert the populace to this menace, and remain vigilant for any suspicious activity in the city.
167166TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_323Let's return to my lodgings. I'd like to go over where we stand with our elusive quarry.
168167TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_400As predicted, the thief has been using the cocoon's power of mimicry to incite conflict around the city.
169168TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_401What he hopes to accomplish by doing so, however, is still unclear...
170169TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_402And, so long as he has this power, our sole means of tracking him remains the havoc left in his wake.
171170TEXT_KINGBA301_04830_KUIYKI_000_403A trying trail for any hunter, but I'm heartened to have a warrior like you beside me as I tread it. We'll catch him together, and when we do, we'll mete out the justice he deserves, Player!
