Part 4b. “Potty Break”
Location: Tottori,Tottori Prefecture
The PC(s) have ventured into Tottori. Late night
in the city seems to have brought out many of the cit- temple, I will enter to try and get some answers. I ask
ies’ unmentionable characters. The streets seem to
spill over with creeps, vagabonds and villains.
GM NOTE: Have the PC(s) roll an Awareness Test
to determine if they can detect that they are being fol-
lowed.
A Bandit Gang (who has already heard of the
Sanzo’s battle with the Kushihara) has recognized the
travelers in the town.
GM NOTE: Depending on the Awareness Test, the
Bandit Gang will either:
1. Undetected= Attempt to steal supplies, money,
etc. from Seikiya while she sleeps
2. Detected= Confront the group at the rendezvous
point before the group can leave.
The group returns to the dock, and sees Seikiya
Sanzo standing in the same spot that they left her.
Already, people have been given permission to board
and have begun. At the end of the line, Seikiya
Sanzo leads her team to board. Shortly, the ferry sets
sail and the group is off to their next destination port.
Part 5 “Verification Stop”
Location: Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture
Kyoto Japan. Known for its religious places, is in
view in the night’s distance. The shining lights bea-
cons the ferry. Its crew guides it to a rest at the dock,
and the passengers disembark.
The group has to make a short walk around the
bay to another dock in order to continue their jour-
ney. Seikiya Sanzo leads the group passed several
shrines, temples and graveyards while traveling to the
port. Each time the group passes a structure of reli-
gion, Seikiya Sanzo is entranced by its beauty and
mystery.
It is dark along the road the group travels. Every
so often the foliage fools the group, eliciting worry,
by seemingly taking the shape of something that may
be dangerous. Upon coming within range they learn
that it nothing more than brush.
SEIKIYA SANZO
We have passed more places of religion now than any
other prefecture. I feel as though I need to stop. I
need to ask if I am doing the right thing. At the next
that you wait outside.
The group approaches the next temple, and
Seikiya Sanzo goes inside alone. While waiting for
her return, the group is encountered.
GM NOTE: Roll 1D4 on the Random Encounter
Chart Below to see what attacks the group.

Seikiya Sanzo rendezvous with the PC(s), and
gives an approving bow signifying that she is, indeed,
on the right path to restoration. A bit further and once
again, the group stands ready to board its third and
final ferry.
The group boards the ferry, and faster than the
previous voyages, the group sets sail to Ishikawa.
The calming sway of the ferry in the waves and
sounds of the sea relax the group enough to where
they fall asleep during their ride.
Part 6 “Lies and Deception”
Location: Suzu, Ishikawa Prefecture
The call of seagulls wakes the group. A look
ahead, and they will see the city of Ishikawa coming
into view. The sun is peaking over the tops of the
buildings as a new day is beginning. Once in the city,
Seikiya takes the lead again, moving swiftly through
the streets of Ishikawa, not stopping. The rest seems
to have invigorated and her travel is expeditious.
Now outside of Ishikawa, the group is traveling
along a narrow road. They gain ground on a Ronin
travelling along the same path in the opposite direc-
tion. He has several scars and looks upset. As he and
the group grow closer the Ronin will pass by Seikiya
Sanzo and notice her scars beneath her veil. He paus-
es.
