October 25, 747- “Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.” –Steven Wright Morale for the group had reached an all time low. Not only were they at the mercy of a land they didn’t understand, but now they had to deal with backstabbing...

Chapter 7 Akira had proven himself to be as swift and silent as a ghost despite his fervent concentration on the ground in front of him. It was inspiring to watch him move from one depression in the earth to the next, pausing only to confirm that the tasloi had indeed moved according to his...

October 22nd, 747- “We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.” -Sir Thomas Browne With their heads held high, the party walked into Vulpwood. The forest in question was barely a few miles north from Karina, but everyone still remained tense as soon they left the...

Oh you didn't know??! R-Hero, I just saw your edit after posting. Yes, Piratecat is the author of the module. If you check out his Storyhour, you will know this to be true;)

Chapter 6 Saburo leaned over Giyoshi’s maimed body. He still clenched the naginata even in death, the blade sticking into Blaze’s corpse. He was a true soldier. A warrior. Taking a deep breath, Saburo freed the weapon. He had been told numerous times about the basic etiquette of the...

October 21st, 747- "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword." Monsette watched the acres upon acres of vineyards wash by his vision as the Virgo approached Karina. Captain Timothy was talking about something, but it couldn’t distract Monsette from the gorgeous view. The leaves were...

Chapter 5 Flesh was rent from bone as Saburo futilely held his arm up to block the incoming attack. He turned to flee, not even pausing to look at that now useless appendage hanging at his side. Saburo felt another shudder of impact and the searing burn of pain across his back. His breath...

October 17th, 747- “Even though you know a thousand things, ask the man who knows one.” Only after Monsette had made sure that he was nearly hoarse did he allow everyone proceed into the town. The main road was fairly easy to spot; everyone trudged onward. Although it was late in the night...

I was going to re-write the previous posts with the cow motif for fun and got half way before I started crying from the laughter. Yeah, cows don't have that same...penache.

Thanks R-Hero for the kind words! This encounter was really a lot of fun and you are completely right, PC did a fantastic job laying out the buildup for the DM. The player of Saburo now refuses to ride horses with ANY character because of this...maybe I went too far:)

Chapter 4 “What do you mean,” Saburo demanded. His voice must have been louder than he intended, for Yatsen seemed embarrassed by his lack of control and disrespect for his own father. “Ren’s father is dead,” Nobutaka said sadly. “Whaa-how,” Saburo asked frantically. “We think it was a wild...

October 14th, 747: “Fiat Veritas pereat vita (Let there be truth and may life perish).”-Friedrich Nietzsche The party awoke wearily the next morning at first light. No one had slept well; even Shinlaiden, who had pulled the final leg of guard duty, seemed bleary-eyed when he roused everyone...

Thanks again Piratecat! For the most part, I left the overarching plot arc as is...I had to modify a few key points (which I'm sure you will catch) in order to preserve the "realism" of using the setting of this Rokugani village. I won't go into detail on what it was I did exactly now; instead...

Hahahahaha!!! Yeah, I really felt sorry for my Players, which is why I had to reduce the horse encounter from 2 to 1 psionically enhanced animal. Glad you like it PC, I hope that I haven't butchered the adventure with all these modifications;)

October 10th, 747- “Who makes frequent inquiries about the road does not go astray.” As Monsette walked into the Inn’s rather shabby lounge, he noticed that some color had returned to Vanyel’s face. Perhaps the cloak of blankets encasing Vanyel’s frail body had somehow managed to warm him up...

Chapter 3 A soft scratching came at Saburo’s door, followed by the soothing voice of his mother. “Saburo-san, it is time for dinner.” He immediately went to work striping the bedding, changing his clothes and washing his hands and face in the basin underneath his window. When he had...

Chapter 2 “I guess it didn’t go as well as you would have hoped,” Akiko said with a sigh of resignation. She glanced over to the study, where Nobutaka had locked himself away ever since he got home. “Don’t worry mother, things have a way of working themselves out,” Saburo said prophetically...

October 9th, 747- "Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways" (Stephen Vincent Benet). Monsette was running. Someone was chasing him or he was desperately seeking someone. It was all very confusing, but the sense of...

Chapter 1 “Hurry up,” Nobotaka snapped. Saburo looked up from the frenzy of paperwork to see the face of his irate father staring down at him. He was supposed to have organized the inventory of Sake yesterday but got distracted sampling the goods. Like all of the children of the village he...
