has anybody found out Shrew Chishi(bushi dojo quest). i am turning mad searching for this fellow. plz help!

Take the way to Shurugeon Castle and go to the horse. There is a trail leading to the north near the horse. Take the trail and go north. You will reach a lake shore.
Enter water and follow the shore to the west until you find an exit from water. You will meet a ratling there - Shrew Chishi.

Notes:
- Shrew Chishi is there only if you have the quest and only if the character(s) owning the quest is in your party.
- There are several ways leading to the lake. The "right exit" from the water leads to a small area accessible only from the lake water. Therefore, if you see that you can go away through some exit from water then it is not the right one. Return into the water and search another exit. Next, the right exit is on the (more or less) south shore of the lake. If the shore turns to another direction evidently then you have gone too far.

To look at it another way, Shrew Chishi is in a small grove off that lake. There are (IIRC) four "exits" from that lake -- one through a narrow path just west of the burned-out house (and that's where the salads come through, BTW [img]smile.gif[/img] ), one west of there that's much wider and leads to other Ishad N'ha areas, one to the far north that leads to the Boogre Caves, and one to the northwest that leads to nothing but a decent-sized grassy area... nothing, that is, unless you have the quest as bsftcs stated above. IF you do, then Shrew Chishi will be there.

There may be one more exit on the west side that also leads to Ishad N'ha, but I don't remember for certain. Easiest way to be sure is to go one "exit" west of the Boogre Caves.

I don't remember the specifics of the map, but I believe you just go right at the branchoff of paths and make your way to the burned down house. Your ratling is having a meeting there ;) .
