4	0	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_00	Soroban is about to present you with a proposition you would be a fool to refuse.
5	1	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_01	It would seem that the tale of your battle with Susano has reached the ears of a certain esteemed party that has need of your consummate skills. However, as is all too often the case, the anonymous petitioner wishes to put your abilities to the proof before they will divulge further details. Nevertheless, nothing ventured, nothing gained, and so Soroban bids you journey to Hells' Lid, where you are to undertake this preliminary endeavor.
6	2	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_02	Soroban and Tataru join you in Hells' Lid not long after you arrive, and there you discuss the petitioner's curious request: that you “quell the oni dwelling in the deepest depths” of the island. Apparently, the feat would be not unlike that of the legendary hero Tenzen, who is said to have done so with the aid of the “Four Lords”─though perhaps you will only require the assistance of three. In any event, Soroban has opened the hidden passageway into the depths of Hells' Lid, and there is but one way to learn whether or not there is any truth to the faerie tale. ※Hells' Lid can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
7	3	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_03	A host of strange and wondrous beings make every effort to hinder your progress, but ultimately fail to prevent you and your comrades from reaching the mysterious temple at the heart of the island. There you do battle with a wizened sage, who upon his defeat transforms into a rather less intimidating tiny turtle. Lying upon its shell, the creature flails helplessly, unable to right itself...
8	4	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_04	Tataru, having followed in your wake with Soroban, decides to aid the tiny turtle, who formally introduces himself as Genbu. The turtle claims to be the leader of a collective of auspices─animals who have attained a measure of divinity after living a thousand years. Noting you and your companions' skepticism, he bids you speak with the other inhabitants of Reisen Temple and judge for yourself.
9	5	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_05	Though not as verbose as Genbu, the other animals are more than capable of expressing themselves with the spoken word. You learn that it is a gradual process in which they grow in awareness and supernatural strength through the centuries, culminating in what they have dubbed the “change,” at which point the creature is said to become a full-fledged auspice.
10	6	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_06	At the heart of every auspice is a duality: the aramitama, the primal rage; and the nigimitama, the boundless calm. When the balance between the two is disrupted, the auspice may eventually succumb to chaos. Such was the case for Koryu, an immensely powerful being that once threatened to bring calamity to the Ruby Sea, and was in truth the foe that Tenzen and the Four Lords fought at Hells' Lid in another era. But Koryu could not be truly defeated─only sealed away for a time, and Genbu's clairvoyance has led him to believe the wards imprisoning Koryu may soon fail. Therefore the auspice would have you help him prepare for the inevitable conflict by aiding his comrade, Byakko, in quelling the raging aramitama within.
11	7	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_07	The snow white tiger is a harsh judge of character, and for a moment it seems you will not meet with his satisfaction. In the end, however, you remind him of his fallen comrade Tenzen, and so he is willing to entrust his soul into your keeping. Reisen Temple is no place for the battle, Byakko declares, for if he is to risk being wholly consumed by the aramitama, he would gaze one final time upon the lands of his birth in Yanxia.
12	8	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_08	As he muses on his bitter past and how he overcame it to become a guardian to his people, Byakko confesses a measure of fear for what he may become if you and your comrades fail to subdue his aramitama...but you assure him that you will not. Make ready, for the time has come for you and yours to face the legendary auspice in battle and save his soul! ※The Jade Stoa can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
13	9	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_09	The hurly-burly is done─the battle is lost and won. Byakko needs no longer fear for his sanity, for you and yours have subdued his raging aramitama.
14	10	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_10	From birth, Byakko was shunned by man and beast alike for his snow white fur, which marked him a harbinger of doom. Bereft of family and home, he sought solitude to die...but with long years only grew stronger and stranger, which only served to drive others further away. So it would always be, he believed, until one day a man appeared before him, fearless. Tenzen could speak the language of beasts, and for this he, like Byakko, was scorned by all. And so the auspice found a kindred spirit─a traveling companion, with whom he embarked upon many adventures. But those are tales for another time, as Genbu would know the outcome of your battle.
15	11	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_11	Furi, the gatekeeper of Hells' Lid, recognizes you at once. The auspice ushers you inside, urging you to share your tidings with the others at once.
16	12	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_12	In your absence, Genbu has seen fit to train Soroban that he might assist him with the maintenance of the wards holding Koryu in check. Tataru's enthusiasm in overseeing the process calls to mind that of Tenzen, prompting the Scion to inquire what sort of man he was. Genbu confirms that the samurai could speak to beasts, ascribing it to the selfsame power you possess─that of the Echo─and that he was regarded with suspicion by many for it. Nevertheless, he was a kind and generous soul who ultimately gave his life to protect others, using the last of his strength to seal away Koryu while the Four Lords looked on helplessly. Before he died, Tenzen bequeathed to them a sacred crystal, which the auspices speculate may in fact be the source of their powers. In his honor, they built Reisen Temple and resolved to keep watch over Koryu's prison, and have done so to this day. Alas, as Genbu mentioned before, it is only a matter of time before the wards fail and Koryu wreaks untold havoc─unless you can help them to quell the aramitama of their esteemed companions in preparation for the coming fight. For now, however, you have done enough. Soroban, on the other hand, has much work to do...
17	13	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SEQ_13	Bunchin is already aware of Soroban's circumstances, having been informed via a missive from Genbu delivered by a most unusual cat. The missive also states that you may come and go as you like from Reisen Temple─a privilege Bunchin encourages you to avail yourself of, as he cannot help but wonder how Soroban will hold up under the strain of such intense training.

53	49	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_002	Though perhaps it would be easier to let our anonymous client speak for his or herself. Here, their missive.
54	50	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_003	(-Anonymous Missive-)For the Ruby Sea and all who call her home, we seek the aid of the warrior who laid low the Lord of the Revel. But first, we bid <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>him</If> make haste to Hells' Lid and quell the oni that dwell in its deepest depths. Should <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> succeed in this test, we shall speak of the true endeavor and consummate reward.
55	51	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_004	A strange proposal, aye, though it must be noted that they knew both of your deeds and of our part in them.
56	52	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_005	The Red have no love of trickery, so I doubt it a trap of theirs. And should this client have honest intentions, then for the sake of these waters, it may behoove us to engage them further.
57	53	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_006	As for their test─enclosed with the missive was a magicked dagger, along with instructions as to how it may be used to open a hidden passage into the depths of Hells' Lid.
58	54	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_007	I should mention that this dagger is old and exceedingly valuable. That our client was willing to entrust it to us without a guarantee of our cooperation bespeaks considerable wealth─and more importantly, considerable reward.
59	55	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_008	If you are willing to undertake their trial, I shall journey to Hells' Lid and prepare to open the path. Ah─but given the financial incentive, I think it for the best if I went and fetched Mistress Tataru. Wait for us there, then?
60	56	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_010	Hope you haven't been waiting long, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
61	57	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_011	My apologies for the delay. I thought it best to explain everything to Mistress Tataru on the way.
62	58	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_012	Honestly, all he had to say was that he'd found a way to make up for Alphinaud's obscene expenditures. No matter how reckless or dangerous the scheme, if it balances the ledger, I'm all for it!
63	59	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_013	So there's a bunch of monsters living beneath us? What kind of place is this?
64	60	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_014	Well...according to ancient legend, Hells' Lid is where the hero Tenzen defeated a host of oni.
65	61	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_015	Oni were foul, evil beings that tormented the peoples of the Ruby Sea, and this island was home to many, until Tenzen, together with the Four Lords, drove the oni into the sea.
66	62	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_016	For his heroic deeds, Tenzen was showered with riches. He then journeyed deep into the mountains, far from the realms of men, and lived in solitude with his companions, happily ever after...
67	63	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_017	And now <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s being asked to drive the oni away again?
68	64	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_018	You misunderstand. What I told you was a faerie tale. To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever seen an oni. If anything, many assume the tale refers to ancestors of the Kojin.
69	65	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_019	So what you're saying is that you've got no idea what's waiting for us down below. In that case, I'll leave this to the experts! If you need me, I'll be hiding behind that rock over there.
70	66	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_020	By experts I presume she means you and your adventuring companions? I do hope you were not counting on me to join you in the fight...
71	67	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_025	It looks rather...hot in there. I do hope this isn't a bad idea...
72	68	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_030	...Perhaps we should turn him right-side up?
73	69	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_031	Ohoho! A marvelous performance, truly marvelous─but then you did best the Lord of the Revel...
74	70	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_032	By the kami! A talking turtle!
75	71	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_033	I...I don't even know where to begin with that one...
76	72	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_034	I trust you will forgive me for my deception─'tis something of a Far Eastern tradition, the testing of strength and so forth. A bit rote, perhaps, but anyway! Welcome to Reisen Temple.
77	73	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_035	I am Genbu, guardian of this sacred place, and leader of our little collective.
78	74	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_036	Genbu!? The selfsame Genbu of the Tale of Tenzen? One of the Four Lords?
79	75	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_037	Under normal circumstances I would assume you named for the legendary being, but clearly this is anything but normal. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would meet a talking turtle...
80	76	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_038	Ho, but every one of us here can speak your tongue! Is it truly so surprising? After all, we each have lived more than a thousand years.
81	77	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_039	I-I knew turtles were long-lived, but I had no idea that was even possible...
82	78	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_040	In this wondrous land of ours, it is said that a beast which lives a thousand years attains a measure of divinity. This temple is a place where such auspices may gather.
83	79	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_041	But take not my word for it─speak with my comrades and learn their tales. We will talk of the endeavor after.
84	80	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_042	We may as well do what he says. Besides, who knows what valuable secrets some thousand-year-old animals may know?
85	81	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_045	You wish to return to the surface?
86	82	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_Q5_000_000	Leave Reisen Temple?
87	83	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_055	Shall we return to the temple?
88	84	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_Q6_000_000	Enter Reisen Temple?
89	85	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SENRI_000_050	Judging from the way you and that woman are gawping, I'm guessing you're not from around here?
90	86	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SENRI_000_051	Don't know how it is in your homeland, but here, if an animal manages to survive a hundred years, it begins to get ideas. Delusions of grandeur. Some small power, sure, but nothing much to speak of.
91	87	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SENRI_000_052	Survive ten times that and you become a full-fledged auspice, though. Speech! Magicks! It's quite the change, believe me, which is why we call it...<Emphasis>the change</Emphasis>. What? I never said it was something clever.
92	88	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SENRI_000_053	Anyway! Point is, don't let our appearances fool you. I could kill you five times before you hit the ground. But I won't, on account of me being civil. For now.
93	89	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_KUDAGITSUNE_000_054	A friend of mine, Tamamo Gozen, once called this place home. Possessed of nine tails, her power far eclipsed my own.
94	90	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_KUDAGITSUNE_000_055	But one day she left to live amongst man. What became of her, I wonder...
95	91	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_KAMAITACHI_000_056	Hey! That hurt! You didn't have to give it everything you had in that fight, you know. I only just went through the change, so it's not like I was gonna slow you down that much...
96	92	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_KAMAITACHI_000_057	Well, I suppose you didn't know it was all for show...and I was probably really intimidating... Oh, right─you were asking about the collective, weren't you?
97	93	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_KAMAITACHI_000_058	Let's see...Genbu's the oldest of us─oldest in the Far East, too, I think. One of the Four Lords, so as you can imagine he's much more powerful than regular ol' auspices like me. Ah, but you probably knew all that already...
98	94	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_060	Please, converse with the others. We can speak of the endeavor once you have a greater understanding of who we are.
99	95	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_065	How much more of the old tales are true...?
100	96	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_070	Don't talk to me, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Talk to the cat...or the weasel. And what does the fox have to say?
101	97	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_080	Now that you have a greater understanding of who we are, I shall tell you of the rather thorny predicament we now face.
102	98	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_081	The divinity of we auspices manifests in myriad ways. For example, I possess clairvoyance.
103	99	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_082	And with my preternatural power have I seen a vision of the Ruby Sea─of Yanxia, of Hingashi─subsumed by roaring flames.
104	100	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_083	This is no distant future, I fear, and if we are to avert it, we must needs enlist the assistance of an exemplary warrior─one such as <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> who faced the Lord of the Revel and lived.
105	101	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_084	What should we do? What should we do!?
106	102	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_085	Fear not, little one, for I have a plan. But to understand it, you must first understand the duality which lies at the heart of we auspices.
107	103	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_086	The aramitama─the primal rage─and the nigimitama─the boundless calm. These elemental forces comprise the soul of an auspice, and it is only when they are in balance that we are truly ourselves.
108	104	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_087	Alas, over great spans of time, or when caught in the midst of tumultuous events, this balance may be disrupted, and the soul may be divided.
109	105	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_088	An auspice overcome by the aramitama is a wild, feral thing, all the more dangerous for their divinity. Calamity and catastrophe invariably follow─tremors and floods which destroy men's works.
110	106	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_089	Auspices can bring about these natural disasters? How frightening...
111	107	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_090	Perhaps, but you must remember that there are auspices who delight in aiding the peoples of these lands─auspices who may have even wreaked havoc in the past. Recall you the tale of Tenzen and the Four Lords?
112	108	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_091	The one Soroban told us before? About a samurai and the auspices who drove the oni from this island into the sea?
113	109	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_092	Just so. Yet I fear his accounting of events is not quite accurate, for it was not oni we and Tenzen cast out from this place, but an auspice.
114	110	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_093	An auspice with the power to move heaven and earth─Koryu. Wholly consumed by the aramitama, he stoked the flames in this island's heart until it very nearly erupted in a fiery maelstrom.
115	111	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_094	Tenzen led us in battle against our mad brother, and together we sealed him in this temple.
116	112	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_095	But as the truth of the tale fades from memory, so too do our wards weaken, I fear. Should Koryu break free, he may well finish what he began, and ensure my vision of flames comes to pass.
117	113	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_TATARU_000_096	So...long story short, you want <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> to give this Koryu what for when he wakes up?
118	114	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_097	I should think not! <If(PlayerParameter(4))>Her<Else/>His</If> accomplishments notwithstanding, it would be foolish for any mortal to face Koryu without proper assistance. To wit, that of the Four Lords!
119	115	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_098	Regrettably, I am not the young auspice I once was. And to make matters worse, my three compeers have nearly succumbed to the aramitama.
120	116	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_SOROBAN_000_099	Kami forfend! Three of the Four Lords have gone mad!? The Ruby Sea is doomed!
121	117	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_100	Nearly succumbed! Nearly! Alas, in marshaling their strength to retain control, they are unable to commit their powers to the preservation of the wards holding Koryu in his prison.
122	118	TEXT_STMBDY301_03015_GENBU_000_101	And now that you have a full and complete understanding of the situation, we may at last discuss your part in all this, warrior. I would have you and your comrades face mine in battle and quell their raging aramitama. What say you?
