You knock a second time.  Still no answer.

>If no reply, hazard a glance through a window.
Looking for a window, you take a peek through once you find one.  Yes, this is definitely a house, albeit a small one-room place.  The inside is very neat and tidy.  However, it seems nobody is in here right now.  You can also see from here that the door has no lock; shouldn't be all that surprising, seeing as the building itself looks rather poorly-built.

Do we really need to? We have no sign that the pagoda is in there, and we have no other cause to search a house.

We are the good guys, let's not forget. Now, if Nue wants to pry into someone's home, that's her business, but Murasa's more of a straightarrow than that. Especially with Kyouko here. Wouldn't want to be a bad example for our junior partner.

Aye-aye, cap'n.  Not opening door just yet.

Correct.

Sadly, no.

>Inventory (It's been too long. I think Nue is with us)
It's in the opening post; I've made a point of keeping it updated there since a certain someone always has me backtracking a page to find and update it :3
Quote from: bigyihsuan
>Arm yourself; tell everyone else to do so.
Gripping your anchor and spell cards, you inform everyone else (meaning Nue; Kyouko still seems fine soaking her feet in the pond nearby) to do the same.  Nue's response is to pull forth her trident and hover a couple feet off the ground.
Quote from: bigyihsuan
>"There might be a trap here. Maybe whoever lives in this house might not like people entering.
"There's only one way to find out, Captain," Nue says in response.

However, it looks like the next step won't be happening.  Not even a second after Nue stops speaking, a girl's voice near-literally barks out "HALT!" in your direction.  Turning to face the voice indicates that whoever this is, she's a girl with white hair, red eyes, wolf ears and a tail, and a pretty big sword & shield set.  Definitely a wolf tengu.

You ask the wolf tengu her name, and you get your answer pretty quickly.  Sadly, it's (probably) not her name.  "I'm the one asking the questions here.  Who are you, and what are you doing on this mountain?"

"We haven't seen any such item," the wolf tengu quickly replies.  "However, if memory serves, your Myouren Temple was formerly that flying ship that came out of the geysers in Former Hell, correct?"

Geez man, dialogue is a good thing sometimes.

>"You got it. We'd been beached for ages 'till we got blown free." Proudly, "And I was her captain."

>Just to make sure, the temple is actually made from our ship, right?
>If so, how do we feel about our ship being repurposed like that?

Forgive me if these questions have been addressed before, but it's been quite some time.

See the following.

>"You got it. We'd been beached for ages 'till we got blown free." Proudly, "And I was her captain."
"Perhaps you can help us with something," the wolf tengu says after giving it some thought.  "At the very least, it would help me overlook you trespassing here."
Quote from: Namusour
>Just to make sure, the temple is actually made from our ship, right?
Indeed it was, yes.
Quote from: Namusour
>If so, how do we feel about our ship being repurposed like that?
You've never been overly fond of the idea.  The Palanquin Ship was your ship, after all.  However, your love for Hijiri is greater than your love for the ship, and so you let her convert it to a temple.

>"We'll help. What is it?"
"One of the crow tengu caught a rumor of some amazing treasure or another in Former Hell, and rushed off to write an article.  That was about a week ago; we haven't seen or heard from her since.  And seeing as I've found myself a group that spent some time down there, it would be best to send you off instead of more tengu."
Quote from: Namusour
>"Whaddya mean, trespassing? All we did was knock."
"You're still trespassing on this mountain," the tengu clarified.  "For the most part, outsiders are forbidden from being here; I'm actually surprised you got this high up without being spotted."

I'd also like to extend my best wishes for a super-awesome and supremely amazing Merry Christmas, so...Merry Christmas, everybody! :D

All you know (via word of mouth, no less) is that the tengu and kappa both own parts of the mountain, but ultimately answer to the gods of the Moriya Shrine.

"Well, it is," the wolf tengu answers.

"Sure sure, we're trespassers," Nue butts in.  "But isn't it usually the cliche that one guard tries to stop the protagonists and fails miserably?  How about we just save ourselves a lot of trouble, skip the part where we fight and you lose, and we just go on our way?"

"I'd suggest silencing your friend there.  I'm not about to just let you three keep going up the mountain."

She's not sure when she lost it, but she was (apparently) on Youkai Mountain the day before your search started, and was at Marisa's sometime before that.

Shou wasn't sure when she lost the pagoda, remember.  It's just as likely that she lost it months ago than it is that she lost it just the other day.  And besides, this is Gensokyo; anything's possible.

Either way, a treasure is still a treasure.  There are some urges from your life of piracy that you simple can't resist.
