Journal

• A new request from Akagi has arrived.

• Akagi's missive is a tersely worded summons, asking you to come as quickly as you are able to Oschon's Embrace. Make your way there now, and learn what trouble Princess Yuki has gotten herself into this time.

• Having found where her clan's jade jewel was being kept, Princess Yuki has slipped in amongst a host of enemies to retrieve it. While the daring plan seems to have paid off, she now lacks for an exit strategy. Akagi begs you to distract the guards, and Oboro fleshes out the plan by proposing that you use the noise of Raiton to draw the foes away. Strike the path leading away from Oschon's Embrace multiple times, and so secure Yuki's escape.

• The foes have heard your thunder, and you hear them as they make their way toward you. Move further away from Oschon's Embrace and strike with Raiton again.

• Once again, the guards hear as your thunder echoes through the hills. Make for the Salt Strand, and unleash Raiton again on the way there.

• You have drawn your pursuers far from their camp, and away from Princess Yuki. Now, make your way to the Salt Strand proper, and await Oboro.

• You arrive on the Salt Strand and are greeted by a man with seemingly sinister intent. From his babbling, you ascertain that he had anticipated Princess Yuki. Yet his familiarity with shinobi─Gekkai and Karasu in particular─leaves you uneasy. The man attacks, revealing that he, too, has a command of ninjutsu. You slay his underlings, and eventually force him to flee after Oboro comes to your aid. Speak now with your shinobi friend and see what he knows of your mysterious combatant.

• After a moment's thought, Oboro theorizes that the man was once an imperial spy, trained in ninjutsu by Gekkai and Karasu. What he desired with the princess, however, remains a mystery. In any case, now is not the time to wonder why, but rather to see if Princess Yuki is safe. Travel to the Tempest Gate in lower La Noscea and speak with her.

• Princess Yuki has escaped the clutches of her pursuers, her clan's stolen jade jewel now safely in hand. She is aware that you aided her, but seems completely ungrateful. After she takes her leave, however, Akagi says she is secretly thankful. Oboro bids you return with him to the dock storehouse.

• As you might have suspected given your recent missions, Oboro once again tells you to meditate upon your experiences, that you might draw new power from within. He also leaves you with a somber warning, and bids you practice vigilance whilst a mysterious foe may lie waiting in the shadows.

Dialogue

Quest Acceptance

Oboro: Akagi has called us again, this time to Oschon's Embrace.
Oboro: His note was brief and hastily written. I do not know what the princess has done, but it is clear she needs our aid─urgently.

Speak with Akagi at Oschon's Embrace

Akagi: You! Where were you!? Here I am, worried half to death because the princess is in danger, an' I can't do a thing about it! An' you just saunter up, like...like...
Oboro: Calm yourself, and start at the beginning. Where is the princess?
Akagi: C-Calm!? Er, right, calm. Her Highness learned who bought the clan's jewel. She's run off to take it back, an' left me behind.

Enemy Guard: Where is she!? She can't've gotten far, even with her bleedin' witchcraft or...or whatever! Come on, lads, fan out and find her!
Akagi: Well, that's it in a nutshell. The guards won't rest till they catch her. An' she's stuck up there!
Oboro: That she would find the jade jewel is just like her. But she clearly has no way to escape.
Oboro: Well, [Forename]? It's your mission. What takes the greatest priority?
What takes priority? Helping the princess. / Completing the mission. / ...-> ...

Oboro: You wish to let your actions speak for you? Very well. Our only recourse is to aid the princess.
Oboro: The guards think the princess's ninjutsu is magic. We can use this ignorance to our benefit.
Oboro: Let fly Raiton. They will mistake the thunder for Princess Yuki's ninjutsu.
Oboro: Draw the enemy southwest─away from the princess. We will rendezvous on the Salt Strand.

Use Raiton on the target

The sound of footsteps echoes in the distance.
Enemy Guard: That sound... It's the girl! After her!

Use Raiton on the next target

Enemy Guard: Come on! Wh-What do you mean no!? Cowards! Do you want to be the one to tell the master someone took the jewel!? Then come on!

Enemy Guard: Don't let her get away! That jewel's more valuable than our lives!
