Log
===================================================
          After exiting the tree, I immediately cut down the fruit using my power slash. It opened up, restoring color to the village in a giant wave, show casing the whole area, and damn it's pretty. It's still dark though, and after you walk down the path, you find a villager in stone. Uh-oh, somebody's fruit didnt do as good of a job as it should have.


          Issun thinks that it's just a statue, and that you should move on, so we do. Walk down the pathway along the cliff to the bottom where all the houses are. You'll find more statues. Talk to two more of them and he mentions that maybe you should get to higher ground to see whats going on. Walk back up the pathway, and then farther up, and shortly after you reach a platform over looking the tree.


          On this platform, Issun notices the sun missing, and mentions it would be impossible to draw the sun, which he also does if you try to draw the sun before getting there. When you draw the sun, it appears, clearing up the sky and un-statueing the villagers. After Issun goes on about being impressed, the village elder, Mr. Orange, shows up behind you.


          He mentions that you look like Shiranui, but there's no way you could be. The game also shows you from his perspective, and you look like a normal wolf, no color or divine instruments. Issun comments that this is because the power of the gods is weakened because of them not praising you any more. Right then though you get into a battle with demons, after tossing the elder off the platform to get him out of the way. Defeat these guys the same as in the tree, and you restore the lake and trees near the platform, giving you some praise. This happens with all fights like this now.


          After this, you can go about the village freely, talking to all the different villagers to do stuff for them, and to get praise. If you go inside the elder's house, cut a wall, and then dig, you can find a treasure chest. Talk to the kid with a dog and he'll tell you his dog could dig up nine of the ten turnips in his mother's field. If you dig up all ten, avoiding the lady trying to hit you, you get an oddly shaped turnip. Give it to the kid to prove you're better, and get some praise. You can jump then wall jump up a cliff near where the kid was to get another treasure chest, and two more are in the nearby river.


          Talk to the village elder's wife, and she'll mention that her drying pole is missing. You can draw it in, and then she'll mention she wishes the sun was closer to dry her clothing faster. Draw the sun and she'll give you some praise. The next villager to help is the one that makes the Sake, but she can't, because her water wheel is broken. Draw in the rest of the water wheel, and then she can go inside and make you a special sake that you'll carry around untill the next part.


          Finally, you can try to leave town. Except there's boulders in the way. And a merchant trying to push them out. Talk to him and he'll mention that he feels possessed, which triggers a battle with demons. Kill them to restore some trees and animals, but it doesnt give him enough strength to push the boulders. He'll ask you to get Susano.


          We walk over to Susano's house, but it doesnt look like anybody's home, so we cut this log on the right side of his house to reveal the basement. There's Susano, sleeping. You can use either power slash or your headbutt to wake him, I used power slash. Issun will tell him that he needs to help the merchant, and he's all "blah blah no" and so you throw him on top of you, and get to run around with Susano on your back. We then run him up through and out of his house over to the rocks. He'll say that he needs to practice, and runs off to his yard, where you find him sleeping, because he ran out of sake. This is where you go back and get sake from the water wheel house if you havent already.


          After you get him his sake, he'll start practicing, first on two dummies, then a rock. Thing is, he sucks, and wont cut them unless you use your power slash on them, including the rock. He believes that he did it, so he'll run over to the boulders with confidence that he can do it. We follow, and then do the power slash thing again to destroy the boulders. I guess he helped a little bit though, because it doesnt just let you do that before. He runs off out of town to kill monsters, and the merchant sets up a shop to let you buy and sell stuff.
