Yewul - Forest of Spirits

[Yewul]
A Shaman guarding the Forest of Spirits.
Forest of Spirits Quest
Location: Forest of Spirits (Harbin)

"Are you all right?
You've been sleeping here for quite some time...
They say that if you fall asleep in the forest, you will have a [Revelation] in your dreams, but...
I don't suppose you had a [Revelation]?"
"You don't remember where you are? I see...
This is the sacred [Forest of Spirits], and I am its guardian shaman.
Those who receive a [Revelation] here often lose their memories, but they gain the ability to see the spirits."
"The spirits have been restless lately...
I know that we've only just met, but would you help me uncover what is plaguing the Forest of Spirits?
I'm sorry if it's a trouble, but I could use someone who can see the spirits."

As for what's happening here...
The Forest of Spirits has always been a place where humans and spirits lived in harmony.
"However, some time ago, a wicked force transformed the [Forest of Spirits] and chased away all traces of its beauty and radiance..."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope to restore the forest to its former beauty.

"The [Sky Spirits] and [Evil Sky Spirits] were once amiable gentle liasons between us and the spirit realm.
Now, they're malevolent demons that attack travelers."
Who could have done this?
There must be a way to restore the forest to its former glory...
~
"Perhaps we can learn what's caused this change by examining the [Spirit Powder] that floats around them.
Please collect 10 portions of [Spirit Powder] from the [Sky Spirits] and [Evil Sky Spirits].
I wish it didn't have to come to violence, but I see no other choice..."

"Thank you.
They were once such angelic creatures, sprinkling [Spirit Powder] on slumbering travelers to heal their bodies and minds...
But now, violence is the only way to keep them in check..."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope to restore the forest to its former beauty.

"Are they sick?
Is that what's caused these troubles in the [Forest of Spirits]?
If that's it, we can't let the disease spread..."
~
Maybe the trees hold clues to the forest's changes.
All the creatures here, including the [Sky Spirits], tend to collect [Maple].
Please bring me some [Maple] so I can examine them to see if I find anything strange...

Hmm... It appears that there is no problem with the trees in the [Forest of Spirits].
If the trees are not the source of the problem plaguing the [Forest of Spirits], I wonder what it may be...

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope to restore the forest to its former beauty.

"Allow me to teach you something useful, before I forget. In place of using a healing potion, if you sit for a while in one spot, your wounds will heal on their own."
~
Your health and magic will slowly recover. Why don't you try it out? Sit by pressing [X] on your keyboard.

"If you sit for at least 30 seconds, you'll earn some experience points as well.
Open [My Info] - [Expression] - [Action] to see other special actions that you can use.
There are many other actions besides [Sit] that you can try."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope to restore the forest to its former beauty.

"About the [Spirit Powder] you brought me...
The color and texture are off, but I can't say what exactly is wrong with it."
"I've lived in the [Forest of Spirits] my whole life, so I've never studied magic or science...
However, there is a doctor who lives near the forest who may be able to help us. He may see something I've overlooked."
~
Exit the [Forest of Spirits] and go a little south. You'll see him.
Please show him the [Spirit Powder].
Maybe he will find the answer to what's happened to the [Forest of Spirits]...

"Welcome back. Oh, that medicine--
This [Forest Healing Potion] will protect the forest for a while?
Oh, what a relief. I know it's only temporary, but I can't express my gratitude enough!"

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

"I really appreciate all the things that many people have done for me.
I hope you'll become a little bit stronger as well.
You have all helped me...
You need to be stronger, so you don't get hurt as much..."
One of the easiest ways to become stronger is to increase your stats.
Do you still have the Growth Vial [I] I just gave you?
~
"A Growth Vial uses 1 Bonus Point to randomly increase Strength, Intelligence, Dexterity, or Vitality.
Use a Growth Vial [I] and see what happens."

"Wonderful!
Now remember, as you get stronger, you'll need higher level Growth Vials."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

"Ah, and as for the Scrolls of Vortex I just gave you...
I've had these scrolls for a long time, but I've never need them until now."
"However, I do know a little bit about them.
In battle, they cast devastating magic.
I'm sure you could make use of these, yes?"
~
"Try them out.
Remember, these scrolls can only be used in battle.

(In your Inventory window, move the scrolls to any mercenary's quickslot. Press the quickslot key during that character's turn to use the scroll. You cannot use a scroll on your first turn)"

"You're a fast study, aren't you?
Adventurer, let me bring you in on another of the [Forest of Spirits]'s troubles."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

"A while ago without warning, the unicorns of the [Forest of Spirits] attempted to escape.
Fortunately, I discovered their plan early on. Otherwise, the forest and its inhabitants would have been in grave jeopardy."
"The leaders of this uprising have hid among the [Polluted Unicorns] and [Tainted Unicorns].

Though it pains me, we must cut down the rebellious unicorns before they cause another revolt..."
~
Please get 15 [Black Horn Pieces] from the [Polluted Unicorns] and [Tainted Unicorns].
The monsters that possess these pieces are the leaders of the movement.

(You can find unicorns in the northeastern part of the Forest of Spirits.)

"Adventurer, I am eternally grateful to you.
Still, why are they so desperate to escape?"
"Before all this started, some visitors in strange costumes visited the [Forest of Spirits].
They scoured every corner of the forest for who-knows-what, then left without a word.
Since then, the spirits have become dangerous..."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

"It's fortunate we stopped the unicorn rebellion.
However, the [Devil Trees] were also involved in the escape attempt.
The [Devil Trees] possess overwhelming strength. Attacking them directly is too dangerous."
~
Please uproot 10 [Devil Trees].
I can't allow them to continue this...

"Well, I feel safer now, at least. Fate must have brought us together to save the forest.
Whatever's done this to the [Forest of Spirits] has had an effect on my health..."
"I've been suffering spells of dizziness and nausea for no apparent reason. I can no longer wander the forest on my own...
The deeper I go into the forest, the worse it gets.
It is as if the Spirits have slowly gone mad..."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

"W-why are you looking at me like that? Oh, these wounds?
Really, it's nothing to worry about. I'm perfectly all right.
It's just that, since I was trying to stop the unicorns from escaping...
My wounds have not healed very quickly because I ran out of medicine."
~
Would you mind if I asked you for a small favor?
[Harbin] is the closest town to the [Forest of Spirits].
Please go to town and use the [Hospital] which is in the [Town Menu]. This menu is on the right-hand side of your screen when you enter town.
Please buy 1 [Ginseng] when you get there. I would like to make some medicine from it.

"Ah, I'm afraid I owe you an apology.
Right after you left, my uncle came by with some medicine he had made for me.
Why don't you keep the ginseng for yourself?"

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

"My uncle said that he was investigating the nearby [Hell Soldiers].
He said to thank you for your help earlier, and to warn you that one of them in particular seems dangerous."
~
"He says the other soldiers are drawing their power from this [Hell Scout].
That means... if you kill the [Hell Scout], then we can stop the rest of the soldiers from getting any stronger.
Please, adventurer! Help us out once more."

"Thank you again, adventurer.
I shall pray for a solution to this detested curse."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

"Hmm...
I'm sorry, but I have one more favor to ask of you.
It's about the tree spirits that you confronted earlier."
~
"There's a leader of the tree spirits, called the [Mutated Tree]. They tower over the other trees, and possess vicious strength.

I regret putting an end to this once remarkable spirit, but we must destroy the [Mutated Tree] to make the forest safe.
Please... would you do me this favor?"

There are no words with which I can express my sincerest gratitude.

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

"I now believe you're the only person who can find the source of the forest's curse.
I believe it's coming from the [Forest of Spirits Depths], a place where ordinary people cannot go..."
"But before you go there, we must learn more about the nature of the curse.
My master, the former shaman of this forest, has recently returned from a long journey.
Now more than ever, I need her wisdom."
~
"My master, [XuRien], may be resting somewhere near Harbin.
Please inform her of the strange occurrences happening in the [Forest of Spirits].
I hope she can give us some insight..."

"...What? No, there must be some mistake...
[Fairy]...
This can't be true!"

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

What else did she say?
[Beijing]? I see.
My uncle mentioned Beijing not too long ago.
He says the doctors at the [Ruins of the Yellow River] near [Beijing] have more injured and sick patients than they can handle.
~
"If that's the case, there's no time to waste.
Do you know how to reach Beijing?
Open the [World Map] under [Game Info] and take a look at your destination."

"Just follow the road past [Harbin] to reach [Beijing].
I've never been there before, though..."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.

"My uncle's taken an interest in all these peculiar events happening throughout the world.
What could be causing this? Although it began in the [Forest of Spirits], the chaos has spread to the outside..."
"Adventurer, I am forever indebted to you.
Are you heading out?
I must stay here, though I do hope you visit me sometime. I'd love to hear of your travels."
~
"Ah, right!
Before you leave, you should visit [Hong Gil-dong].
Oh, you've already met him? Well, all the better. He has much to teach.
Well then, farewell. Please, take care of yourself."

"The Forest of Spirits is now in peace.
Then, take care.
I hope you have a safe trip.
Oh, by the way, please go to [Beijing] city and take care of their problems.
[Sima Qian] might need your help there."

I am the Shaman of this Forest of Spirits.
I hope the Forest can revive again soon.
