Lu Ian Tien acknowledges your compliments and words. He ponders Leng's reply for a moment "Our emperor died many years ago my son, but the creature that is now ruling the empire might be a demon, as you say, or something else, I'm not certain about it's nature. But your words are true, nonetheless, the empire is been ruled by an evil entity."
The old master stands up "If all of you trust me, I'll lead you, not as your general" he looks at Koryo and Wang Chi "Not as your master" he looks at his three sons "But as your friend and comrade"
He makes a pause looking at every men in the room "I'd fail in the past, but I intent not to fail today, nor the days to come. I have my hopes in you, warriors. I know you all combining your skills and prowess can defeat the black creatures. And this day, this will be the day that you'll kill the first one. I'm afraid that my strengths have been drained away from me, but I'm certain that if you use your hearts, you can overcome the foul beast. I'll remain here with Wei Dan, waiting for you; when you kill the creature, come back to me, I still have something to teach you"
Wei Dan appears from behind, closing the door of his house. "Oh you are not going anywhere, that's for damn sure old man." she says addressing Tien. "Now you come here, I have something for you, yes, all of you."
Wei Dan opens a secret compartment below the floor carpet, and takes out a big wooden box. She opens it and stands up "They are all yours, pick whichever you want."
OOC: Sorry for the delay guys. Wei Dan is giving each you a 3 level weapon. So in your next post, let me know which one you chose, and if your characters are going to do something before moving on to the final encounter of this chapter!.
