The Gathering
Wang and Ziang
The travel to Singing Spring Town is uneventful, and the path is a beauty as no man can think. The vale among the twin peaks is green with red dots of the mountain flowers in blossom, and the gentle stream that runs among the vegetated mountain, fills the hearts with tranquillity.
As you reach the village, you not that there’s a breach in the small town’s wall, and several corpses lay in a puddle of their own blood, tainting the grass with a ruby colour. From the breach in the wall you see a huge woman, stomping to the corpses, and grabbing one by the head, then dragging it inside, leaving a trail of bloody grass behind. As you approach the the town, you see a small group of boys and youngsters, dressed all with the same outfit. They haven’t noticed you and keep walking towards the town. A little bit farther, a group of four approach as well, one of them holding his arm, and two of them are holding the fourth man, apparently unable to walk by himself. They might be using the same outfits the boys use, but with the sun so bright is difficult to distinguish colours at that distance.
You can also distinguish a ship running ashore a few kilometres away from you, apparently the crew is getting down.
Shen & Leng
The road to the village is short, and the students lead a few meters further. As you reach the village, you see the Weaponmaster carrying the corpse of one of the pirates inside the town. As she disappears into the breach, you see two men, walking in the direction of the town. You can only tell distinguish they shapes, but the rest is obscured by the bright sun.
Leng notices that one of them glitters, probably carrying a metallic armour, something very rare in the town. Only Wei Dan had an armour in his house, and never you see the woman using it.
Like if there’s little going on, you see a ship running ashore a few kilometres away from you, apparently the crew is getting down.
Koryo & Ban Lu
“I guess I deserve a punishment ya? But no dead fer me please! I duno deserve it!” The man begs. As you contemplate and question yourselves about the answer, the captain intercedes.
“Take him to the jail, after some days down there we might employ him. This ship needs some repairs.”
After the pirate is removed and you are left alone with the captain, he addresses you. “Very good my friends, you handled the situation perfectly. Now we have the information. It seems strange omens are about to fulfil.” The old man says, frowning.
In that moment, an officer enters the cabin. “What’s the meaning of this intrusion?” the captain yells.
“I beg your pardon sir, but the ship has holes in the hull sir. We are sinking sir.”
The captain raises both eyebrows. “Well, quickly to the bridge, we must land and make repairs”
After a few apologies, the captain leaves the room.
You can hear him commanding his men, and as you step out, you see the sailors unfolding the main sail. The creaking of wood as the ship moves toward the coast, fill the salty air of the ocean.
Minutes later you can see a town emerging from behind a smooth slope of the terrain. As you get closer, a group of persons are divisible there, standing in front of what looks like a breach in the town’s wall.
The ship runs ashore, and the activities of the sailors shift from sailing to wood craft, as they take their tools and get down to the sand, to get some wood from the village.
