"A sack full of gems, a hundred or so, would probably be a safe offering." Rathazul said with a shrug.  "I don't know, they don't like me and I don't trust them.  I think they are... pardon the pun... fishy.  I've heard too many stories about how they've manipulated 'deals' with people for their own best benefit.  But if you want your sword, I don't know if there's a better or even another way to get it back from the bottom of the lake.  Just don't let them know how desperate you are for it."<br/><br/>As Reimu prepared to leave Rathazul answered her other question, "I know that the forest is a little more dangerous than the grasslands, but if you're finding the imps of the plains too simple, you might find a challenge in the forests.  Just don't go too far south.  Should be richer quarry there."
