The Big Boss nods at Light Heart's statement. He's something of a longbeard, quite the opposite of Boss Saltlick. Indeed, from his chair, which puts him on eye level with you, his beard trails far longer than he is tall – down to the ground.
"First, let me put my dogs at ease. A simple test."
"Fae, approach me."
He motions for you to glide up to his desk.

This room is much nicer – in fact, it has a glass roof and there's a pit built such that daylight streams in from as much as another mile above. Potted plants are here. An elderly looking diamond dog sits at a desk.

He leans over her, concealing Manako. He must be scrutinizing her intensely.
Finally he stands up and hops back into his seat. "I have determined this fae is free of all bad luck. Perhaps purified by bathing in a crystal spring before venturing here."
The guards in the room give a sigh of relief.
>>555327
The Big Boss crouches over you and whispers, "Those old mine dogs are just superstitious. Just stay out of their way and you'll be fine." He gives you a wink.

It bends about six feet down. Good news? The fall won't hurt. Bad news: you can't see anything past the bend.
>>555347
"Mmm… you are certainly bold to come to me with this."
He writes something down on a sheet of paper and envelopes it, then seals it.
"Unfortunately, we must honor our alliance with the Takikaga Clan. But you have traveled a great way to be here, no doubt, and you have done us a service by removing the spider. While you are here, please enjoy the hospitality of Shiba. This is a notarized letter that should take care of your expenses for the night. Take this in peace."
He stretches out a tiny arm to hand you the letter.
Perception check. Anyone in the room can attempt this.

The story doesn't seem to match up. Why offer you hospitality in the city if you've just admitted to be enemies of the clan they won't betray?
>>555357
You drop down with catlike tread! This dark vent goes on for a few hundred feet, but there are several branches off to the right… six of them. Which do you want to go down?

If you were supremely stealthy you might be able to drop straight into the middle of the group and rejoin them from the middle.

This actually DOES contain a letter that is supposed to cover you at what sounds like a pretty nice inn.
There's also a second letter that looks hastily scrawled. It's a primitive map… but without knowledge of how the city is laid out, it's not very useful to you. Looks like you'll have to explore the city to figure out what this belongs to.

Nod.
"It'd be for the best."
>>555409
Cough a bit.
"Anyway.
As Manako pointed out, we should bring in some offerings, not to seem cospicous while visiting the shrines.
And check into one of the main hotels first and foremost."

There is a nearby forge. It's been run by a dog with a face mask pounding away at some iron. He's wearing a sleeveless vest. He's also wearing a paper hat.
>>555504
The entrance hall is pretty fancy. Big ornate carpets and fake gold. Shibans in bellhop uniforms mill about in the foyer. There are no Shiban guests, though: only ponies. This building is much larger than the others, and multi-floored.

The bellhops seem disengaged because there are fewer guests than normal, probably as a result of the war.
There are a couple of ponies with Takikaga symbols on their armor sitting in a side room enjoying some tea.
Seeing new guests, you're swarmed by staff.
"Guests, guests!"
"Welcome to the Great Shiba Hotel!"
"Oh, Foreigners, have you traveled far?"
"Honorable guests, can we get your bags?"
"Look, guests! We have new guests!"
"Hey, hey, you'll find no finer place to stay!"
They're all in little hotel uniforms and come up to about your shoulders in height.

"Foreigners know Cluster?"
"One of the great Big Bosses of Shiba! One of the four!"
"Cluster! Friends of Cluster! I will run the bath for the friends of Cluster!"
"Onward, onward!"
There is excited murmuring and they begin to push you gently toward the front desk.

"Do you serve chicken?"
"We have a great meat buffet, but it is mostly sea-food."
"The blue pegasus suffers from severe autism and needs to hug to remain calm when overwhelmed by sensory perception. Can she hug your staff?"
"Er… okay, yes, that sounds reasonable if there is a medical reason."
"Yes and yes!"

You head up a few flights of stairs to the top floor. Your room is on the corner. After going through the door it's like walking outside – the roof and all the walls are made of glass! Shibans sure like the view of the sky.
There are three king-sized pony beds here, which means there is comfortable room for six to sleep here.
>>555772
He gives you a little hug around the neck.

"Alright alright, who wants to sleep on the bed and who wants to stay on the couch, it appears some of us must share spaces for all of us to fit in."

"Naaah… one can still fit in on a bed that I will sleep in." I show her.
and close in and whisper.
"Once everything settles down, we must kick out the shiban doges and all of us must discuss what we need to do after this. We must also ask Hircus to check out if there are any spy holes in this room just to be on the safe side."

Point at the round structure in the middle.
"As I explained earlier, this is one of the four gazebo shrines of this town.
This being an aerial view, I'm not entirely sure which one it represents.
We can either visit each shrine with an offering, or have one of our fliers check the zone out beforehand for added safety.
I'd suggest doing both, and visiting the real shrine for last, as to give whoever might be following us a good reason as to our being in the zone."

Be it Big Boss offering us the city's keys or be it a troop of Shiban soldiers."

There are multiple slanted plates of metal. Odd style.

The little stage dog does a backflip and points over to the far right of the stage. There is an elastic band hanging from the ceiling.
>>556089
You get shoo'd out of the hotel. Where to?
>>556090
You stuff your stuff in a locker and head to co-ed. Wark is waiting for you here.
"Looks like we didn' have ta split."
>>556091
There is a bitch nearby who seems to be staring at you intently. When you glance over at her she quickly looks the other way.
>>556094
Whew, how refreshing. It's just what you needed to get all that dirt from the crevice you fell into out. Remember that you haven't bathed since then?
>>556100
Chip is here!
You soak in water.
>>556101
He turns to audience. "GOOD QUESTION! AUDIENCE, YOU KNOW RULES OF CRAZY ELASTIC MARSHMELLOW CHALLENGE? CHALLENGE VERY SIMPLE, WE HANG MARSHMELLOW FROM CEILING BY STRING AND ELASTIC BAND AROUND CHALLENGER FACE!

You can continue revealing, OR solve the puzzle at any time by simply coloring in your own with the solution.

Nah, that was before you got to Awa. Then again, you needed cleaning from THAT crevice, too.

"Apparently, idiot! What, you think you're something special or something?"
Greentext is in Neighponese, but YOU probably know 'baka' so that's okay.
>>556116
Well, there are some nice views, and it is pleasant.

I don't think you're going to solve this puzzle.

I dip my head in the pool and surface.
"Special? Oh no no… I am not special no no no. I am just a visitor here in your magnificent home town. Trying to see the sights and sounds since someone told me something 'special' lies here"
"What I see special here is how you guys are able to make this place habitable. Much more pleasant than one's above, no questions asked."
"Another thing are the defenses… those are some feats of engineering to make this place able to stand up against giant spiders." I grimaced.
"And another thing that is special is when I saw you." I grin.

She gets red-faced and glances away. "Idiot! You think I'm just going to melt in your paws because you compliment me? Well… maybe I'll let you stick around, but only because I think I have a job for you."
>>556131
"Oh? Is that not rude now?"
She splashes playfully.

Paper is laying everywhere, even on the ground. An old dog is folding behind the counter.

She laughs, then gives you an innocent grin. "Or maybe you wanted both of us to go over to his side~"
>>556157
Hm… dining hall, room, or bathhouse?
>>556161
"Hmph. That's a stupid name… I'm giving you a more regal one. Your new name is… King, okay? That means 'ruler' in Equestrian."

You slip, you fall, you trip over yourself embarassingly… but then you lunge in a beautiful sprint and grab four at the last second, forcing them down your gullet right as the timer hits 0.

The little gameshow dog totters over and pours your hooves full of songs!

There's also a really tough looking mare and a very airheaded mare who is obliviously washing her unmentionables without noticing how others watch.
The Shibans are cutesy but hard to make out so submerged.

Wark is also here, soaking with his eyes closed. The two Shibans are in the shallows chatting idly as they soak.

Docks it is! You can see the whole little inlet of water – out to the pine sandbar which blocks your view of the fleet.

There's a shrine maiden who is sweeping, but they don't really have formal priests so go around doling out scripture and what have you.
Remember Elementalism is roughly based on Buddhism. There are hardcore monks that spend their lives studying the philosophy, but for most people it's enough to perform simple worship at the shrine without guidance.

That over there is a scythe with a rotating scythe attached to it. You need to know how to use that one before picking it up or there's about an eighty percent mortality rate."
>>556466
They don't speak the language, but they get your body language and begin the patter of giving you a tiny massage. They even climb on your back to help! It reminds you of the midget massage you got in Roads, but floofier.

"See this sword? This is a sword that we had taken to the daimyo and had legitimized at great expense in spite of its unusual creation. This is a Legitimized Bastard Sword!"
When you finish paddling and come out of the water she's blushing furiously.
"So you're a good swimmer… I wasn't watching because I think you're good looking, it was just to make sure you weren't lying you dummy! So… ugh, so just carry me to my room already! Back to the hotel!"
>>556471
And pretty good at their job, too! They go deep, it's not a weak surface massage.
>>556472
"Y-you mean yours! That is – unless you mean about where I stay a mare and you impregnate me wi– oh! Hm… I guess we didn't leave anyone other than Grey and Red to watch Lilly."

In the vents. Where to?
>Laundry
>Your Room
>Couple's Room
>Down
>>556486
"Hello. Forget something?"
>>556487
They begin to work on your wings – the rubbing feels really good but they leave out the preening. I guess there aren't many pegasi here. You do remember that you've seen much fewer.
Still good for a free massage though.
>>556488
"A shame then! Perhaps you're interested in the scythe on the scythe?"

"A little potion of lingual comprehension. Very useful in this business."
>>556493
She nuzzles up next to you. "You're right. None of it matters as long as I'm with you. I won't worry about it again."
>>556494
They proudly display what appears to be just chainmail with some swords shoved through it.
"SPIKE ARMOR!"

>>556504
They wheel out what appears to be a statue.
"Perfect armor. No holes or flexibility at all. Impossible to pierce. Drawback: can't move in it. Also has to be kept on forever. Also we need to install breathing holes."
>>556505
She's so light – it's like carrying a pup. Or at her size, practically an infant.
Finally you get back to the room she indicates as her own.
"Well… you may be stupid, but you did pretty good work… Still, if an idiot like you is just left out on the streets you'll cause mischief… why not come stay with me so I can look out for you?"
>>556506
She bursts out laughing. "No – ha! I would be making so much money if it were. Cochlear Mushrooms. Hard to find."
>>556507
"In forever they'll be grown up. Red and Grey will probably take off as soon as they're old enough."
>>556508
Do you want to drop all the way to the basement or try for a certain floor?
This is dangerous.

"This armor has never been pierced by anything but a blacksmith hammer!"
>>556515
"D'awww. And I without you."
>>556516
"It takes a lot for even a small amount, but we can try."
>>556518
She pats you on the head and adds, "That's more like it. Come along, then!"
And she heads into her room. Sounds like she wants you to stay with her in her hotel room instead of with the others.
>>556519
Roll. Don't forget Goatcraft.

You wander around until you find a small park. Elderly Shibans are feeding the birds.
>>556529
>>556531
You manage to pull out one mushroom about the size of your hoof. It's shaped like a spiral.
"Hm… well, this may be enough to make a small amount."
>>556533
"At a blacksmith?"
>>556530
You fall all the way down. Your fall is somewhat cushioned by ashes at the bottom, but it isn't a huge comfort because you've fallen directly into a huge furnace. You can see the door from here. Oh, and you're being cooked alive and the wind was knocked out of you from the three story fall.
Strange crystalline minerals grow, hanging down from the top of the furnace like icicles. They're gray, but that may be from the smoke.

"At every blacksmith in town? Is this a trick question?"
>>556535
"Alright, let me see here… I'll just crush up the mushroom with the pestle… now you need to simmer some Neighponese Honeysuckle. I stir in Western Pinecone for longevity, but even that doesn't do much for it. And of course, a little piece of magic. Very important in most advanced alchemy."
She uses some sort of wand to extract a glow from a locket and then swipes it along her mortar to mix it in, like she's adding jam. Finally she pours in a lot of water and mixes heartily.
"This needs to set for a few minutes."

"Two thousand songs, and we'll throw in some junk."
Flowing: 3500 songs
>>556543
"Good question. I could tell you were Equestrian by your accent. You'll need the hair of a pony born in Equestria, but that can be added at any time after it has finished sitting. As for any language… perhaps? It doesn't seem to work for reading, just speaking."
>>556542
Hard to make out in the blinding pain. Looks like there are three main branches.
>>556544
It's kinda compact. About the size of two homes. It has several shady trees but few bushes and grass. Not much for hiding but the trees.

"It's busier than I expected… I guess I expected it to be a village of this rare breed of dog, but less of them if they're so rare…"
>>556575
Four this time.
You come to a rug. You hear voices above.
>>556577
It's a hotel room, not a house. No pictures, just a traveling satchel. There are teensy tiny dresses for her.
You do hear water.

"I think I met a Shiban that I can recruit, though she is a bit of a high class shiban traveller that is why I need the clothes you see." I show her the formal suit that I carry.
"I think she knows far more about Neighpon than anyone we have now so she might be a good pick, though what I dont know if she can be trusted that is why I am doing this slightly covert operation. I am telling you this just in case I went missing so you can report it to the others, just dont tell them now about it okay?"

"Well they do have chairs designed for ponies so I think I can borrow that instead. What I hope is that they have enough food to feed someone as big as me, that is what I am worried about." I grin.
"Besides it will only take maybe up till tomorrow, we'll see."
"By the way, do you and Emrille have plans in the city? We only got a day."

I laugh.
"I've never said that I want to witness females bathing in a female bath, what I said is I want to be inside a female bath. The content is irrelevant, what matters is that I am able to enter the room and thats it." I said in a joking manner.
"And just for the record, I am again messing with you." I pat your head.
