~BGM: Life's Beginning~
Welcome....To The Land of Dreams and Illusions...
Gensokyo.In this wondrous and mysterious land where legends and myths are real, you will meet many other youkai, some like yourself, others not.
Will you be a hero(ine), or one of those unsavory sorts who causes incidents?
It is all in your hands, dear players, for this is...
YOUKAI QUEST!~BGM: A New Star Is Born!~
You are Hibachi (http://i549.photobucket.com/albums/ii372/Daizengar1991/HibachiYoukaiQuest.jpg), newborn Nekomata.
And you've been through quite a bit I might add, quite an interesting tale you've managed to spin in this brief time.
You've faced angry Kedama, befriended one, sparred with a Wind Goddess, faced off with a giant snowman thing, and had many more adventures.
You also recently learned that Mystia was after new and previously-unused ingredients, and in her search, attempted to forage at the Youkai Mountain.
Unfortunately, the Tengu Patrols had no intent to let that happen, and kept scaring her off. You don't like that.
So, given she's one of your friends too, you resolved to help open channels for her to gather ingredients there. Maybe one of your friends at the Moriya Shrine can pull some strings? However, you ran into a little 'trouble' on the way up the mountain after encountering Aya Shameimaru, Gensokyo's Self-Proclaimed '#1 Reporter', and recieving a Civilian Passport for the Tengu Village. (You assume it only lets you go into the residential and entertainment sectors.)
Parser: "Ah-ahem. Excuse me for a moment, I need to get my voice ready for this next little part. It wouldn't be a recap without it you know." *The Parser clears his voice a few times
(Insert DBZ Announcer Voice Here. You know you'll read it in that voice.)
PREVIOUSLY, ON YOUKAI QUEST 2.Our heroines were on their way up the mountain to resolve something, when they were accosted by a group of Fairies playing at being bandits. Both parties gave a good account of themselves, and now, the conclusion of this battle on today's episode of YOUKAI QUEST: 3rd Revision!
~Inventory~
Cooking Outfit(Unequipped)
This stylish-looking White Apron and Green Kimono set looked brown when you first saw it, but you blinked and it was green like all the others.
Cooking Hat(Unequipped)
This poofy hat is a must for any chef, as the Legendary Chef Boyardee can attest...But you kinda wonder just who he is.
Classy Suit (Equipped)
Yukari probably left this in your closet, you think it looks snazzy!
Tiny Ribbon (Worn as Accessory 1)
Cute little ribbon you woke up with.
Nifty Cloak (Worn as Accessory 2)
Yukari gave you this cloak to go with your suit, it's even got a pouch for Ponga to sit in! (You don't think he can use it anymore now though...)
Snazzy Cap (Current Headgear)
Yukari gave you this neat little hat at the same time as the Cloak, apparently it was made as part of a set to go with the Suit.
Classy Headgear (Unequipped)
Snazzy Top hat that goes with the suit. You think it adds charm, but does it add CHARISMA?
Yukari's Note (Key Item)
A note that was addressed to you, written by Yukari.
Blank Spellcards(2) (Key Item)
These blank spellcards were given to you by
CidNitori, as well as Momiji, but you can't use them until you have them engraved somehow.

This is a simple map of the Youkai Mountain, simple enough that even you can read it. It marks such important places as Moriya Shrine, Tengu Village, Kappa Village, and the Outpost!
Momiji's Newspaper (Key Item)
A newspaper with a picture of a green-haired woman on the front, who could she be?
Froggy's Iron Ring (Equipped as Accessory)
The Red Kedama dropped this when you defeated it. It's apparently one of the many Iron Rings that were scattered all across Gensokyo when Suwako and the Red-White fought.
Athletic Wrappings(Equipped on Arms)
A roll of Athletic Bandages that people who play sports often wear, it has a caricature of a drunk-looking girl with horns on it. Maybe they belong to whoever's face that is?
They seem to have a strange effect when you equip them.
Macca(Total: 224)
These weird coins were given to you by Ran, they were helpful in resolving the Nozuchi incident. They must have some kind of power, but you can't feel anything.
Yen(Current Total: 6200)
Gensokyo's currency apparently, it seems to have been one of the many things adopted from the Outside World. This is important for buying things!
Elegant Chopsticks (Key Item)
These were given to you by Yuyuko as thanks for the food you and Youmu made, you've been needing something like this for a long time!
Shimmering Blue Rose (Key Item)
A mysterious Blue Rose that shines faintly, you found it in your cloak's pocket after dancing with a strange girl whom nobody could see but you...You have a feeling that it's probably important.

You stumbled across this strange object as you were exploring, Literally. It looks kinda like a Pagoda almost...And what's with that gem in there?
Star-shaped Key (Key Item)
You found this Star-shaped Key in the Iceberg Fortress, You need the other three keys to gain access to the Dungeon.

? Shoes (Weapon: Footwear -Unequipped)
You found these strange shoes hidden in the depths of the Iceberg Fortress. They seem to increase Graze just by wearing them, wonder how they do that?
Really Cold Dagger
You found this weird dagger in the undercroft of that iceberg, who knows what it can do though? You'll take it to Ran or Yukari later.
Tengu Village Passport (Key Item)
This is a Civilian Passport for the Tengu Village! Now you can go around there without an escort! But since it says Civilian, that must mean there's still places you can't get on your own.
1&1/2 Bags of Dried Squid Strips(Misc Item)
It's not your favorite, but it'll do. Chen likes it though!
1 Seasoned Chicken Meatbun 4-Packs(Misc Item)

Modified Gensokyo Map!
It shows various locations in Gensokyo, some of which you don't really know well enough that you feel safe visiting, but there's several that you know are safe. Nitori improved one of her outdated maps to make this!
Thanks to this, you learned of more locations you feel safe going to!
-Abandoned Doll-
This lonely-looking doll was found tossed aside in a pile of trash. You felt sorry for it and picked it up. Maybe it'll have a happier home with you? You might want to get a replacement outfit for it though...-Broken Knives-
This set of busted knives seem to be on their last legs, but you're confident that Hebichi can breathe new life into them somehow!-Blank Scroll-
This blank scroll was found among rubbish and such in the Human Village. It doesn't have anything written in it at the moment though.-Broken Pots&Pans-
These pots and pans are so well-used that their bottoms have worn-through. Hebichi should be able to do something with these though.-Used Wok-
Who's the idiot who threw this away anyhow? It's still usable! Just needs a good cleaning is all, something Ran or Hebichi can easily take care of!~Spellcards~
「Soldier Cat ~ Felyn Lance」 (Mana Cost 2)
This is the first Spellcard you unlocked, It fires a barrage of Laser Shots directly forward. You get the feeling Yukari would be proud.
「Nine Lives Buster -Focus-」 (Mana Cost 6)
This spellcard unlocked itself as you were fighting the fake Cirno for a second time, it fires a fierce barrage of large and medium-sized shots. But like your other card, it's forward-restricted as well. However, it has a much larger area of effect.
Nine Lives Buster -Spread- (Mana Cost: 6)
This is the alternate form of Nine Lives Buster, it fires intermittent waves of small shots, a rotating three-way of normal shots, and a spiraling five-way of bubble shots that loop in on each other. This spellcard is an Area of Effect Spellcard!
~Battle Skills(Non-Danmaku)~
-Support Defense-
This skill allows Hibachi to cover for an ally, and take hits in their place. But it breaks once she goes below 40%, so be careful using this!
It reduces incoming damage by Half, and adds a 30% chance to graze the attack entirely!
~Known Danmaku Types~
Kunai(Spread)
Pellet(Aimed)
Laser(Javelin-Shaped/Aimed)
Bubble(Medium/Shotgun)
Arrowhead(Shotgun)
~Quests~
Thanks for "Note"ing [COMPLETE!]
You have a strange note, and you don't know who wrote it, but you feel you should thank whoever it is.
Recently you've discovered that it was Written by someone named Yukari, as well as meeting the Chen the note talked about, it seems Chen knows her .
You've also met Ran Yakumo, Chen's master, it seems she's something called a shikigami, and Ran is this Yukari person's shikigami, which makes Chen a shikigami's shiki..gami...ow.
You've finally managed to thank Yukari for the note, don't you feel good about yourself?
Ice Crusher [COMPLETE!]
Word is that Cirno's been acting strange and attacking anyone going near the Misty Lake, and since she's been doing that, nobody can get any fish there!
This problem must be dealt with, for the sake of your lunch!
So the Cirno that's been causing trouble was a fake afterall.
If she's been being impersonated, then something must've happened to her...But what?
You've learned that Cirno was acting like she was being chased by something, and disappeared shortly after, only to show up again causing trouble.
But that was the fake, so the real one's still missing.
After resolving to strike the following morning, you did so. And were faced with many powerful foes.
Eventually, you rescued Dai and Cirno, and came out of this whole ordeal with two shiny new items that you have no idea about!
You also encountered the OTHER YOU, who claims to be you. How the hell does that even work?!
"Magic dear, magic." ...Oh. That would certainly explain it...Right?
Mountain of
FaithFun
According to
CidNitori, the Tengu on the Mountain have lots of fun things to do!
So it's your task to find out what!
Apparently the Tengu and Kappa busy themselves with playing Shogi in their off time, but maybe there's more they do than just that?
Kitty Hawk [COMPLETE!]
According to
CidNitori, there's someone on the Mountain that can help you learn to fly!
You've survived the duel with Kanako, there's a good chance she'll be the one to teach you how to fly!
Of Kedama And Fairies [COMPLETE???]
Momiji said that Fairies keep Kedama as pets sometime, so the best person to ask what Kedama eat would be a fairy!
And Suwako said that Fairies are Embodiments of Nature itself, so they know all about Kedamas.
Now all that's left is to find a fairy that's willing to tell you! And after rescuing Dai and Cirno, you have!
Although, Ponga's humanoid now, so you don't really need to know. But you still want to know anyways on account of just plain wanting to.
The Ole Fishin' Hole
Mystia needs a new fishing spot since her old one got all gunked up from all the fights that've been happening lately.
Being a cat, this makes you the purr-fect person for the job! Maybe Nitori would have some input that'll help too, Kappas are 'intrinsically linked to all things aqueous'.
Or so Yukari says. You think it's just a fancy way of saying 'They like water'.
Keepin' it Cool!
Mystia needs a way to keep cold things like Ice Cream in stock easier, and Cirno's not gonna be too helpful with that.
Maybe you can pull a few strings to make things easier for her!
The Hunt for
Red OctoberRare Ingredients
Mystia's been on the hunt for new things she can cook with, and has wanted to get some good from the Mountain in particular.
But the Tengu keep scaring her off! Maybe you know someone who can help with that!
~Subquests~
Ancient Relics
According to Yukari, there were two powerful people in Gensokyo who haven't been seen for a long time.
She mentioned that they've left some of their possessions behind, and that a puppeteer might be able to help you find some of them.
According to Rumia, the Black-White might be another lead on this matter. Rumia also mentioned a shop on the outskirts of the Forest of Magic, and that the owner of that shop might also be able to help.
So far you've got three leads, a Puppeteer, who resides in the Forest of Magic. The Black-White, who also resides there. And a merchant who lives on the Forest's outskirts.
You'd think that since they can all be found in the Forest of Magic, that maybe they might know each other!
The Statue's Mystery
After fighting the three Armors in the Iceberg Fortress, a strange statue was left that has an entirely unsettling presence. As well as not being easy on the eyes in the least.
But why did it appear? And where did it go?
-The Forgotten Doll-
You found an abandoned doll radiating loneliness in a garbage heap at the Human Village. Feeling sorry for it, you took the miserable little thing into your care.
you think that your next step in regards to the doll is to either find someone to make it some new clothes, or obtain already-made clothes.
Maybe someone here in the village would know something about that...Which they did. Your next lead is a Puppeteer who comes to the village on occasion who makes all her puppetry implements herself.
