+The Ninja quest sees the hero fighting [[Jaquio]] for the [[Bell of Opening]] and their [[quest artifact]], the [[Fuma-itto no Ken (SlashTHEM)|Fuma-itto no Ken]]. Fuma-itto no Ken is a chaotic [[ninja-to]] (broadsword) which has +8 [[to-hit]] and damage bonuses, grants [[drain resistance]] while carried, and can be [[invoked]] to create a stack of [[hira-shuriken]] (or simply "shuriken").
