> Examine scroll.

> You take a look at the scroll.  The paper feels brittle in your hands.
> When you open the scroll, however, you find that the contents are much more impressive.  Drawn in now-faded ink is a map, covering the entire section of the scroll you opened and presumably going past that.  Hundreds of trees have been meticulously illustrated, forming a patch that spreads over most of the map.  At one part of it, the trees have been replaced by stalks of bamboo.  Just below that, there's a valley clearing with a village in the center, but it seems a lot bigger than the one you visited.  To the northwest is another clearing surrounded by sunflowers, and a more barren-looking clearing with even tinier flowers in it.  Beyond that is a river snaking past those fields and out of sight behind the mountains, and an even bigger field.  To the east is mostly wilderness and more mountains, most notably the Youkai Mountain towering ove everything else.  Towards the edge of the map is a small shrine, indicated by a torii.
> You can see Mayohiga, and the dot of a lake where you met Rumia.  One part of the map near the shrine seems to have been hastily scratched out.
> Surrounding everything you can see is a ring of mountains, and nothing beyond that.  There's some writing here and there, but you can't understand what it's saying.

"Do you have a blank scroll?"
I have...a terrible need...shall I say the word?...of religion. Then I go out at night and paint the stars.

> You stay behind, and Shikoba flies off.
> While you wait for her to return, you take a look at the other scrolls.  They all just seem to be more maps, some faded beyond recognition, others that only slightly resemble the map Shikoba showed you.  One map has "1236" written on it, marred with all sorts of markings and directional arrows.

> It does, barring some minor differences.  For example, Mayohiga isn't there.  The shrine at the east end of the map and what you assume is the Human Village are much bigger.
