STAFF
Staffed by Summoner's Cafe
To prove your worth, Kumako has set you off on a scavenger hunt.
Her first clue seemed pretty straightforward -
You've definitely seen a place this clue describes.Where children play and friends are made
A clue resides where this slope casts shade
Where friends are maids and games are played
Around tops and tables, you'll find the way
Return back to where you began your path
But this time you will not be slaying rats
Your past client knows a special spell
Learn it to prove your heart is well
Runa recently found a singed note near the training academy incinerator. but they're having trouble decoding it.Can you help?
GAMEPLAY INSTRUCTIONS:
Return to Runa/Ryuuji once you have determined the decoded message. Relay the solution to her to finish this task.
Runa and Tae hand you a hefty document.
Now that you've decoded the last bit of evidence they needed, they're ready to stop an assassination!Please approach Jura and let him know you're there for the MISSING RONIN job. Let him know Ryuuji is safe and has asked you to deliver these documents containing evidence and a request for a magic tablet.GAMEPLAY INSTRUCTIONS:
To "deliver the documents", show the above image of the scroll to Jura.
You can't help but snoop as you reorganize Officer Nyo's mess.
Not only are the account books short by $30,000.00, but there are also some papers you don't think you should be seeing.A CLASSIFIED MISSION report is sticking out of the pile and on it are details for an SS-RANK mission request.
GABURU MOUNTAIN SCOUT REPORT
Several high-level demons seen near the outskirts of the Gaburu mountains.
Dragon level risk - needs containment ASAP, recommend SS ranking & a team of 9-10 exterminators.Anyway, Officer Nyo is definitely a mess.GAMEPLAY INSTRUCTIONS:
Print or bring 4-5 books & have Officer Nyo tell the person to 'alphabetize/sort' the files real quickly for her so she can go home on time today.On top of one of the books (or sticking out) will be a QR code.
In one of the other books, there will also be a paper + QR code with the symbols for ABCDEF (with the letters ABCDEF above them as well)G-P & Q-Z will be posted at other areas of the con
Wow! You found an earring.
Return this earring to its owner and maybe you will get something nice.
GAMEPLAY INSTRUCTIONS:
Show this page to the owner to return the item.
You find a burnt piece of paper on the ground.
It looks like someone had tried to throw it into the village incinerator, but a scrap flew out.On the bottom right of the paper, you can still make out some symbols.
1 week ago, Jinjinya was robbed!Officer Nyo took a statement, but since then it's been radio silence from the samurai who claim they are short staffed.That's why Jinjinya is asking you for help.
INVESTIGATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Investigate the Jinjinya store for any clues. (There are THREE).
2. Interview villagers for information and alibis.
3. After determining the thief, report to Jura - be prepared to back-up your accusation.
4. If Jura agrees with your findings, he will award you 2 Ryo & Job Credit. If not, he will ask you to investigate further.*DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONFRONT THE THIEF - DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN UNNECESSARY DANGER!
ROBBERY NOTES FROM JINTO:
1 week ago, all the Jinjinya workers were briefly out of town for a General Goods Convention (aka GG con).They left the store at 6PM and came back at 11PM - and discovered that Jinjinya had been robbed!Jinto filed a report the next morning because no one was at the Samurai's Station. Officer Nyo took his statement, but he doesn't trust her record keeping skills.Yesterday, the merchants discovered that, among the goods stolen, there was a valuable poison worth thousands of Ryo that Jinto missed in his initial report.Only the merchants (and now you!) are aware of this...?They hope to catch the thief and make them pay.
Whoever broke in must've been very skilled with a sword...There are clean slashes all over the locks.
The Jinjinya brothers don't clean their store very well...Luckily for you, there's remnants of a footprint in a more isolated part of the store (the exotic poisons and Kiki bobbleheads aisle).Seems like... a Men's Size 13?
Hmm... what is this crumpled piece of paper?It looks like a vote for #teamKiki....Doesn't this boomer know you can vote digitally now?
Show this Moe Moe Kyuuun~ spell to Kumako to finish this quest. Keep it close to your heart - who knows? You may need to cast it again in the future!

THE HUNT FOR RYUUJI
The most skilled warrior in the land has gone missing after going on a solo mission. Serving a pivotal role in recent wars, Ryuuji was regarded as a hero, but after his strange disappearance and with his mysterious background, rumors have started flowing - could he have really been a spy? His unflinching loyalty makes it hard to believe, but to get to the bottom of this, he must be brought back! Help us find Ryuuji and in return, you'll gain access to our shop filled with treasures.
tenshitachi territories
Our story takes place in the Tenshitachi Territories ruled by Lord Dango. Although the village has recovered from war thanks to the greatest warrior in the land Ryuuji, there is still plenty of unrest. This includes rumors of demons, political issues, robbieries, rivalries, and more.
