The more of our creations you can overcome, the more information we will be able to collect in order to improve our next model of puppet. Do not worry about making us look bad; it is just us here."''</blockquote>

==Acquisition==
Talk to [[Nakano]] about '''Missions''' and select '''Artifice Testing'''. He informs you of [[Rindo]]'s request in a way that makes very clear that he despises you and the ground you stand on, which [[Kiyoko]] if present (and if Nakano is not [[Kinu]]'s fiance) will strongly rebuke him for. That's not important to the quest, it was just very cool.
==Progress==
Rindo will explain that she and [[Kazuo]] have been working on automated puppets for the defence of the den and the [[Kitsune]] colonials. As most of the threats they encounter come from the natives, they need native warriors to stress test their puppets.

You will face a gauntlet of 25 puppets, and receive different rewards depending on how many puppets you're able to defeat. Should you manage to defeat every puppet the quest will be complete.

|+ Reward Table
|-
! Puppets Defeated !! Reward
|-
| 0-4 || You receive 3x [[Winterstem]].
|-
| 5-9 || You receive 3x [[Winterstem]] and 1x [[Wyldsap]].
|-
| 10-14 || You receive the [[Black Monkshood]].

| 15-19 || You receive the [[Black Monkshood]] and 1x [[Wyldsap]].

| 20-24 || You receive the [[Black Monkshood]], 1x [[Wyldsap]] and 1x [[Winterstem]].
|-
| 25 || You receive the [[Black Monkshood]] and the [[Chrysanthemum Petal]].
|}
==Reward==
Should you complete the quest, you will receive a powerful unique weapon and some crestfallen applause from Kazuo. Attempting the gauntlet will also trigger [[Keros]]'s offer, see his page for more information.
