This episode was designed to help answer the question, What canI do to add more combatgame, without killing off all the player characters? The world of Rokugan is a dangerous katana can kill with one stroke and tremendous Oni from the Shadowlands can do even wor

THE THEME OF NIGHT OF A THOUSAND CREAMSDark magic exacts a heavy price is a theme which runs through this adventure. The sam

Terrible Oni and vicious criminals rampage through of this story, and the characters are going to be asked to deal with them. Yes, much of that wcombat - but before yougo too far, realize that not all combats have to be lethal.

Simply facing each event in this adventure with th e attitude kill it before it breeds isto get the players very far. Even in the corrupt city of Ryoko Owari, there are still laws. Thermore ways to bend them.

Ryoko Owari Toshi is the da rk jewel of thecorpion lands. It is called by some the Cityof

Green Walls, by others, the City of Stories . It is theity of Lies, and its festering suburbs reek withnderhanded dealings, blackmail and deceit.hady inns line the thin and twisted roads, along

with warehouses holding everything from illegalains to honest trade. It is a haven for those whoeek to escape the law, and a major cornerstonef trade between the Scorpion and the Unicornlans.

The provincial governor of the city is a womanamed Shosuro Hyobu. Shes powerful, both

hrough military control and political intrigue,nd when she needs assistance, she can call in theower of the Scorpion Clan to assist her in

maintaining the city against threats. Its a trumpard she doesnt play often, for misuse can beangerous. Those who displease her, however, or

who do not carry out her wishes will soon findhemselves trapped between the Scorpion Clannd the visiting Unicorn dignitaries in the city.

Why? Because Ryoko Owari is the linchpin ofade for both clans, and any disruption in itsade could mean starvation for hundreds ofeople in both clans.

Although the Scorpion are not often thought ofs the militaristic type, their prominent city isefended by an honor guard, known as theThunder Guard or Red Plumes, under theommand of Hyobus son, Shosuro Jocho. Theyerve as the police and civil guard of the city,lthough they tend to confine their activities tohe more profitable sections of town.

There are also a number of mercenary gangs,or kajinin,who work in the city. Often hired bymerchant houses or powerful individuals, thesegangs patrol select areas as defined by theirpatron, are in charge of fire control in the caseofemergency, and sometimes are associated withpowerful criminal syndicates, as well. Thesekajinin mind their own business and keep totheir allotted areas, but defend what they considertheir turf with deadly force.

The final authority in the City of Lies is thesystem of Magistrates. Imperial Magistrates andScorpion or Unicorn Clan Magistrates are alwaysresident in the city, looking out for their clansaffairs or the interests of the Emperor. Other clansmay have representatives here, as well, watchingout for a traveling dignitary or investigating someminor treason within the city. Its very possible

that Player Characters may be Magistrates intheir own right, either visiting or permanentlylocated within Ryoko Owaris green walls.

Night of a Thousand Screams serves well inalmost any kind of campaign, but it is particularlywell-suited for Magistrate characters. Magistrates,the arm of the Emperors law, serve their clan orthe Emerald Champion, and are often required toinvestigate foul deeds or unusual occurrences.Night of a Thousand Screams is filled with both.If your characters are already Magistrates, theirresponsibilityas police of the Empire should tomotivate them to investigate the strangehappenings in the City of Lies

If your party is comprised of players who arenot Magistrates, the adventure begins with thecharacters entering Ryoko Owari and seeking outa nice inn. Tired from their long journey, theyeagerly anticipate the Bon Festival which will begoing on all night long. The Bon Festival, a yearlycelebration in Rokugan, gives honorto the dead

and appeases the souls of the ancestors. It is alsoa time of remembrance, when people speak to thesouls of their long-departed ancestors and family,and seek to understand the mysteries of death. Itis an honorable festival, in which the ancestorshear the supplication of their families, and seek tohelp them through the coming year.

The streets will be filled with representationsof the Great Kami, the Dragons of Myth, andwhite-faced ghosts and spiri ts of the past. TheBon Festival is a time when the dead souls of thepast are closest to their heirs in the world. Everyaction you have taken in the past year is judgedby your ancestors, and you are asked to atone tothem for any misdoing. As recompense, theancestors are expected to reveal wisdom you willneed in the times ahead, and to look favorably ontheir descendants who honor them properly.

During the festival, there are fireworks,parades, music, traditional dances, and longtwisting streamers. Cakes made of bleached whiterice and covered in brown sugar are made toremind people that death (symbolized by thewhite) is a part of all life, no matter where ithides. The festival is a celebrationof life as wellas death, and people revere the life they have andenjoy the great parade as it passes through thestreets of the city. The characters are enjoying thecool evening before the Bon Festival in the city ofRyoko Owari, when their Inn is attacked by anOni with eyes like fire.Ityo Crane merchants aremurdered, and an investigation leads thecharacters to a ransacked Unicorn warehouse, aShosuro lost in the grasp of a failed Onisummoning spell, and a stolen shipment ofmasks. Through the night, the players areattacked, chased, fled from, trapped, tricked andassaulted numerous times, by numerous enemies.The reasons for the murders grows more complexas the characters uncover a m h o ritual beingperformed by the Moon Cult, kill the Oni with anancient and magical sword, and follow the trail ofthe stolen masks into the d ark heart of the city.

By the time they are done, the playerswillhave faced the Cult of Lord Moon, challenged thesorcery of mho-tsukai, and been attacked by anarmy of undead seeking to destroy an ancientartifact of the Sun Goddess.All of these perilousevents happen between the sunset and dawn of asingle night . . he Night of a Thousand Screams,

The Inn of the Orange Blossom is aestablishment on the corner of Saffron StreBrass Avenue, near the waterfront imerchant section of Ryoko Owari. It is a little inn, with a few rooms upstairs, and downstairs where travelers and city regather. The master of the house is nHametsu, a roly-poly man with a thick beais a Unicorn, and loves to regale his listenetales of the days when the Unicorn tracross the mountains . Of course, he wasnfor any of those escapades, but they are him nonetheless, and he will cheerfully dthem to any paying customer.

He is assisted by his wife, Kimoko, ayoung daughter, Hakiku. They are both pindividuals who smile a lot and ask no queOther patrons fill the inn, preparing fevenings festivities, and banners and fcover the doorway of the Orange Blossom

The inn is located at(1) on your city mathe players should be shown where it is. It a base for much of their activities durinadventure, and could remain an importanfor future campaigns in Ryoko Owari.

It is the inns practice, as with most coestablishments, to check any obvious weapthe door. There is a small alcove which from prying eyes, and the swords and


11/54

weapons will be kept here, for safekeeping, whilehe characters are in the inn.A few swords and a

spear, belonging to the other patrons of the inn,already rest within the alcove, and the characterswill know that this is common practice inRokugan. PCs who refuse to relinquish theirweapons will be politely asked to leave. They arewelcome to stay outside while their companionseat sumptuous food and drink excellentsake .

CHALLENGEMagistrate PCs have probably come to Ryoko

Owari to serve their clan or the Emperor withsome minor function, or as part of their duties tosee to the safety of the Empire. They may even beresidents of the city, entrusted with its care andhe safety of its citizens. In this case, they may be

visiting the Inn of the Orange Blossom as a

moment of peace and quiet away from theirhectic Magistrate schedule, eating dinner withriends and discussing tonights Festival.

If they are not Magistrates, it is best if the PCshave either come into town with a minordignitary (who is now safely housed in ShosuroPalace for the festival, and will not be needing thecharacters assistance for a few days), or live in ornear the town, and have come to celebrate theBon Festival. In either case, they have retired tohis little inn, to partake of its hospitality, its rice,

and its fine s a k . The PCs are taken to a privateoom, beside the common room, where they arereated to their meal. The door to their area is left

open, and the characters can see several tablesull of guests in the common room. They are

enjoying themselves, eating food, and talkingquietly. One of them, a group of well-dressedCrane Clan dignitar ies, seems out of place.

If a party member approaches another tablebefore going to their room, most of the charactersn the inn will bow with proper respect andntroduce themselves. The patrons are primarily

simple heimin and merchants, resting from a longourney or visiting relatives in the town.

The Crane, on the other hand, will introducehemselves as DojiJuzo,Doji Usiina, and Daidoji

Anitano, three merchants of some note in th e city.An Intelligence+Courtier roll againsta TN of 15,by someone who is familiar with Ryoko Owari,will further identify the men as being servantsofhe local Cranehatarnoto, or advisor to a daimyo.

The hatamotos name is Doji Tsumetsu, a distantcousin of the Doji noble house and servant of a

rather powerful Crane daimyo on the border. TheCranes run a thriving business in Ryoko Owari,trading goods from Crane lands for high prices.They are not the only Crane merchants in town,but they are the most powerful.If asked, they willreply only that they are discussinga privatebusiness matter, and will offer no furtherinformation. One of the men, the Daidoji, looks tobe a bodyguard and seems to be less interested inthe talk at the table than the other two. He willkeep an eye on the player characters,as well asthe other patrons of the inn.

The three men have sold several items for theFestival to a lesser merchant shop at good prices,and have made a substantial profit. Some of theitems they have been responsible for sellinginclude streamers, fireworks, masks andcostumes, noisemakers an d other frivolous items.

The men will not invite the players to join themand will politely refuse any offer to join the party.

FocusOnce the PCs are seated in their room, the

innkeepers daughter enters and takes thecharacters orders. She begins carrying food to thetable from the common room and assisting theparty with any questions they have about the inn.Have the playersroll initiative after being seatedin their private room. Hakikuis serving them riceand fish, the usual fare, and all seems to be wellin the inn. Although you have asked them to rollinitiative, nothing untoward seems to beoccurring at this time.

Five minutes after the party has settled in,there is an explosion in the common room. Piecesof wood and ceramic rip through the paper walls,and the serving girl falls to the floor. Theexplosion has ripped the doors from their hinges,and sent a large piece of wood through her chest.

At this point, the GM should begin around thetable, asking each player to describe what theircharacter is doing. Skip anyone who does nothave a swift answer. It is best to ask the person

with the lowest initiative roll first, and continueup the line until reaching the person with thehighest initiative roll. In this way, the playerwhose character begins first (and thus, thinksfastest on their feet) has more opportunity to reactto the explosion. Players have little time to actbefore all the Crane are killed, and above all, theurgency of immediate action should be stressed.

Through the ripped wall you see an inhumancreature much larger than a man holding one ofthe Crane dignitaries above his head. It standseasily seven feet tall, with three eyes, a longslithering tongue, and a long row of pods bulgingbetween the ridges of its extended spine. Its bodyis a blackish green, covered in slime. The smell isbrackish and foul. Long, dripping claws reach outto shred the Crane it holds above its head, rippingthrough muscle and sinew with a minimum ofeffort. Another Crane lies dying in a pool of blood,and the third has leapt to his feet, trying to backaway from the creature.

The girl, Hikiku, will die intwo rounds unlessone of the player characters immediately attendsto her wounds. The Crane at the Onis feet(Daidoji Anitano) is already dead, and the one in

the air is rapidly dying. Only the third Crane, DojiJuzo, seems still alive and active.

The Oni attacking the bar is the Oni noChizaro, but the players shouldnt be given thatname. Although we refer to it as Oni no Chizaroin the GM s text, you should only refer to it as theOni when talking to the players.

STRIKEAll the patrons of the Inn are stunned and

cannot react to the attacks of the Oni. It is only

here to kill the Crane dignitaries, ignoring allothers, and will kill the third Crane next turn. Theonly way to stop the Oni from completing itsmission is for a character to disrupt its attacks.Because the characters should all be weaponless(unless someone has dishonorably hidden aweapon), this will most likely involve apummeling attack against the Oni during thesecond round. Another option could be to pushthe Crane out of harms way before the Oni canreach him. The Oni is intelligent, andwill dealwith immediate threats before going back afterthe Crane.

Doji Juzo is a courtier, nota fighter, and willnot attack. Instead, he backs cowering into acorner, watching the combat in abject terror. Theother patrons of the bar will do the same, somefleeing and screaming, some fainting, and sometrying to hide.

In the second round of combat, unlessThePath to Inner Peace or an equivalent is applied,the damage to the Crane on the floor (Doji Usiina)will kill him. One of the patrons of the inn, a

ronin samurai, will have leapt to the walcove and grabbed his katana. On the round, if the Oni has not killed all the Crajumps into the fray. However, he isnt mucand he will most likely be killed the samehe en ters the combat. Because he has a swoOni will consider him to be the greatest unless the PCs are doing some phenodamage with their bare hands.

You hear Juzo repeating the story to the Guard,and telling them about his day. From what youhear, its been relatively routine- he takes simplemerchandise to a buyer, gifts them with themerchandise and receives payment. Themerchandiseis all for the festival, and seems to benothing more than an elaborate list of partyfavors: streamers, fireworks, masks and costumes,and noisemakers. Nothing he seems to have doneis questionable, and he provides names andcontact information of three merchants whom hehas dealt with today. He seems legitimate, and hiscontacts seem to be upstanding businessmen.

15/54

plumed Crane, but rather a warrior whose goal isto discover the truth. His manner is confident andeasygoing. His dark eyes shine with a cannyintelligence and he is quick to flash a roguishgrin. He is a man w ho has th e highest respect forlife, but has learned that it cannot be taken tooseriously. His natural charisma endears him tomost people he meets - he is much better atmaking friends than enemies. He is a skilledfighter, has a smooth tongue, a quick wit, and anadventurous spirit.

Doji Oruku is an NPC (non-player character)who will be traveling with the party throughoutthe adventure, if they accept his help andfriendship. He is trustworthy and capable,although not to the point of overshadowing theplayers.As the evening unfolds, Oruku should beused to prod the characters, to remind them of

clues they may have missed, and to encouragethem to follow the proper protocol. He knows theCity of Lies well, and can also serve as a guide tofinding places in the city which the charactersmay not be familiar with. Be careful not to letOruku do all the work - hes not there to solveproblems or make decisions. He should be playedas a friendly, courageous man whom the playerscan trust and use as a source of inform ation aboutRyoko Owari.

CHALLENGEDoji Oruku has cometo investigate the deaths

of the Crane. Because the dead men were hiskinsmen, Oruku takes this attack very seriously.

He will walk around the Inn, looking at theshattered tables and ruined paper walls, and willask the players to describe what occurred. Oncehe has been brought up to date, he will thank theplayers for their courage in attempting to save hiskinsmen (even if the players werent successful).

Several eta have arrived by this time, swift todo their work and remove the bodies. Oruku willdirect the eta to carry the dead bodies to thecrematorium, outside of the city. They will scurry

to carry out his orders. One of them, a young boy,will look around at the inside of the inn with asort of awe, and smile shyly at the playercharacters before remembering his place anddropping his eyes to the work at hand. If theplayers try to talk to him, he will fall to his kneesand bow, as is proper, and answer any questionsthey may have before scrambling to help hisfather and the other eta.

Oruku will then invite the characters to sit andhave tea with him while they talk. Hametsu willbring out whats left of his finest stock for them.He will explain that he is going to join the searchto discover what has happened, and that he andhis family would be indebted if the players wouldlend their talents to assist him.If the players arealready Magistrates, they will know that it is theirduty to help another Magistrate in this situation,and if they are not, they will certainly understandthat gaining a friend in the Crane family isa goodidea. In any case, they will be comfortablydrinking tea and talking perhaps ten to fifteenminutes later, when the young eta boy rushes inthe door, his face soot-stained and his feetbleeding from a long run over rough terrain.

The boy is panicked and out of breath,bursting out with the following:

The crematorium... pants the boy, obviouslyout of breath. His eyes are white rimmed, and heis terrified. There are bandits, attacking thecrematorium and trying to steal the bodies! Hepoints out the door, in the direction from whichhe has come. Please, samurai-sarna, they areattacking my father . the bodies of your friends. . please help us!

FocusIt takes about five minutes to reach the

crematorium at a steady jog, whichis about asfast as the boy can manage at this time. Thecrematorium is located at position(2) on yourGamemasters map. If the characters alreadyknow where the crematorium is, they can reach itat a dead run in about two an a half minutes, butthey will be winded unless they have Athletics.Winded characters attack at a-1 to all dice untilthey have a chance to catch their breath (rest fortwo full actions).

A party of fifteen to twenty bandits haveattacked the crematorium, not expecting anyresistance from the eta. The place has been

destroyed and is partly on fire, adding to theconfusion of screaming eta and sword-wieldingbandits. When the party arrives, the Crane bodiesare lying on the floor, their shrouds ripped openand their clothing rifled through. One or more ofthe bandits may still be searching through thecorpses and the area where the bodies are kept, tothe side of the giant kiln used for cremation. Theeta escorts lie dead as well, cut down by theblades of the bandits.

The PCs arrive in time to catch a number ofthe bandits on their way out. The bandits aregenerally a cowardly lot, and do not want a fightwith the Magistrates, but they have no desire tobe caught either. They will make a break for thedoor at the rear of the building when the partyenters, but only a few will escape before the PCsclose in.

STRIKESeveral of the bandits will engage the PCs in

combat - enough to keep the PCs busy whiletheir friends escape. The bandits have no reasonnot to use the dead bodies as shields, and any ofthe burial implements (bone cutters, jars ofentrails, skulls and half-charred bones) asweapons. Remember, a samurai who touchesdead flesh is dishonored, even if its a jar of

entrails or a body thrown at them by a fleeingbandit . .This should be a huge fight, with bandits

flinging bodies and vile gobbets of flesheverywhere. The party must destroy the banditswho have desecrated the corpses, and still findout why the men were here in the first place. Anycaptured bandits will attempt to escape or forcethe players to kill them. Under extreme duress,they will reveal that a man known to them onlyas Silence sent them to steal any remainingbelongings of the Crane dignitaries and deliverthem to the leader at a prearranged meetingplace. They do not know anything else about theleader, the specific item he may have wanted, orwhere he can be found other than the meetingplace. They were hired through an inn on thewharf, and they didnt ask questions.

One of the bandits has a small bag containing10 koku and bearing the Crab mon in hispossession. He refuses to talk about it, but itshould be pretty clear that this was the paymentfor the deed.

Six bandits have managed to escape throughthe rear door as the party enters. After the fight,

Oruku will urge the PCs to give chase (especiallyif there are no surviving bandits in thecrematorium to tell the party what happened).Once the party gives chase, theywill be separatedaccording to which bandit they choose to follow.

Oruku leaps through the rear door beside you,watching the fleeing shadows of the escapedbandits run through the maze of alleys in the eta

If the PC attempts to negotiate, the bandit willargue unreasonably for a few moments, and thenfling the boy aside, launching an attack on theplayer. Note that the boy is eta, and therefore thesamurai PC has no real need to make sure that hesurvives. However, a good samurai values all life,even that of an eta, andso the PC should attemptto keep the boy from harm.

If the PC attacks the bandit, the man will slashat the boy, possibly wounding him but not killinghim. Then the bandit will push the boy towardthe samurai and tryto flee out the back of the hut.

This bandit makes it past theeta village, intohe wharf section and the warehouse district. Heeads for the docks and ducks into an emptyishery, avoiding the hanging fish and butchered

meat in barrels by the sideof the warehouse. Hewill hide behind some crates in the building,ounting on the shadows to hide him from sight.

If the PC wins the roll, the bandit will miss andly headlong into a tremendous basket of fisheads. If he fails, both will fall into the basket.

Whether the bandit flies in and makes aremendous splash, or the PC is shoved in and theandit gets away, there is sure to be plentyofxplaining to do when the poor player, covered inmelly fish heads and entrails, returns to meet hisriends at the Orange Blossom.

The last bandit is small and quick, and runsaway from the eta village at top speed. He willlead the player a merry chase, all the way back tothe inn of the Orange Blossom. At the Inn, he willturn to face the player, realizing that there is noescape. Poor Hametsu, sweeping the floor afterthe terrible night he's already had, will hold thebroom like a bo staff, obviously and pitifullyincompetent. His wife, cleaning glasses at a tablenearby, will take one good look at the bandit, andpass out in a heap in the corner.

By the time the PC arrives, the bandit is readyfor him. Hametsu stands over his wife, glaringand holding the broom, and the bandit has hiskatana out, facing the door where the PC enters.His voice is hoarse and gravelly, and he spits onthe ground as the PC enters.

The Minor Oni are the size of toddlers, withspiderlike legs, claws, and three glowing orange

eyes. They seem to almost be miniature versionsof Oni no Chizaro, and their swift movement andhuge leaps almost defy gravity. Their huge eyesglow with an unearthly orange light as theyscamper uncertainly, jumping across the roomwith little grace and less control. When they seethe characters, they will shriek in surprise,scrambling and leaping away from the PCs.

The players may chase the first Minor Oniupstairs, or follow the three who had been going

This room is a master bedroom, probably thepersonal chambers of Doji Tsumetsu. In thecenter stands the horrendous Oni from the Inn ofthe Orange Blossom, holding the little creature inone hand, and the wakizashi in the other. At hisfeet lies an overturned box of party favors,including a shipment of masks which were to bepainted for the festival, but are now shattered andruined. The large Oni appears to have beensearching through the large box of masks when itwas interrupted. Holding the little Oni, it stops fora second and runs its long, dripping red tongueover the length of the sword. Then it roars infrustration and snaps the sword in two with onehand. The little Oni shrieks in fear and dismayasthe greater Oni starts to crush him, and then itsees you in the doorway. With a roar, the hugeOni flings the smaller one at you like a livingprojectile weapon, and leaps for the roof.

The Oni no Chizaro will leap through theceiling, reaching the roof with its initial jump. If

soon as it reaches the roof, throwing them downinto the bedroom to keep the players busy. Onceagain, the Minor Oni will fight until death, andwhen they are killed, they will dissolve intopuddles of black, tarry, smelly glop on the floor.

If the players take a moment to investigate the

cartons Oni no Chizaro was searching, they willfind them to be full of broken porcelain masks,costumes, and paints for the festival. The mark onthe boxes is that of a Shosuro merchantwarehouse, down on the docks of the city. Thismark is also the same house symbol on themanifest gathered from Bandit#2.

If the players climbup to the roof to see wherethe Oni has gone, they will notice two things: first,that the Oni has headed for the warehouse sectionof town, and secondly, that a man is in theshadows of the housetwo stories below, watching.

The man who escapes into the alleyway isTogashi Ikyoto, a traveling ise zumi from the Clanof the Dragon. He is clever and will use thepowers of his tattoos (the Bat and the Monkey)toelude any pursuit.

Once the PCs have cleared the house of therest of the Minor Oni, they will discover that therest of the household is waking up. The guardsare shocked to see what has occurred, and thenanny and maidens will tentatively come outfrom behind their screen to thank the players forsaving their lives.

During the beginning of the Hour of the Dog,people are starting to come out into the streets,preparing for the festival. Children scamperabout, holding small sparkling lights, and

manor house. Servants scurry about, trying toclean the house and serve the visitors. Soon, a tinyold man will enter the room, and all inside willbow. Doji Tsumetsu will introduce him to theplayers as his father, Doji Ukidanu.

The old man slowly walks up to the party. Helooks over the members for a moment, thenbreaks out into a wide, toothless grin.Do youplay Go? he asks in a croaking and ancient voice.I want to play Go, andI will play it with . . you.

GM Note: Doji Ukidanu will choose the player,or one of the players, who saw the ise zumiescape into the alley, if possible.

Although its obvious the old man is a littlesenile, he seems friendly, and insulting the fatherof the hatamoto to the Doji house wouldprobably not help your new friendship with theCrane. Ukidanu totters out to a table lit bya stonelantern, and begins pulling out the pieces and

setting them on the board, all the while mutteringhappily to himself.

If any of the players has the either the Battleor Courtier skill, they probably know therudimentary rules of the game. In any case, oneof the players should accept the old mans offer,and begin a gameof Go with Ukidanu. The gamewill last through the next ser ies of actions.

Tsumetsu sits at a low table with the restof thePCs, rinking a cup of hot tea and speaking of thestrange things which are occurring in the citytonight.

Eventually, the hatamoto explains where hewas when his home was attacked.I had beencalled away, he explains. Actually, Oruku,I waslooking for you. It seemed a job more suited to aMagistrate than a hatamoto, but in your absence,I was forced to accept the duty.You see, one of theUnicorn warehouses in the Merchant Quarter wasattacked, and all their trade stock was destroyed.He shakes his head sadly. Its a bitter day whenthe criminals of this city must take to robbingparty favors for the Bon Festival. He casually sipshis tea, and Oruku sh ares a glance with you.

Festival items? Orukusays. Thats strange.What is stranger still, says Tsumetsu, setting

down his tea cup, is that the criminals went to allthe trouble of breaking into the building andtearing open all the crates, but didnt actuallysteal anything.

In the background, the little old m an chuckleshappily, and places another piece on the Goboard, completely involved in his game.-focus

Tsumetsu gladly describes the scene at theUnicorn warehouse - crates ripped open, boxesoverturned, and items ruined. If not for the hugetearing claw marks in the boxes, the ThunderGuard would have thought that it had simplybeen done by vandals.

The time of the attack on the Unicornwarehouse was approximately6:30 (just past theHour of the Monkey), coinciding with the playersbattles with the bandits. The only items whichboth the Unicorn and the Crane currently have totrade are for the festival, specifically masks,costumes and fireworks.

Outside, the fireworks are lighting the skyfairly regularly, marking the official beginning ofthe festival. People are gathering in the streets

with torches, celebrating their ancestors.Tsumetsu tells the party that a grand parade hasbeen planned for the hour of the Goat(2 - 4am),and will weave through the entire city, followingthe perimeter road. He will invite the players tocome and enjoy the celebration, and will offerthem masks and costumes from his personalstock.

The high point of the parade, Tsumetsu willtell the players, is the lighting of the DragonGlobe:

The Globe at the Temple of the Sun Goddesswill be lit by the Suns own fire, bringingAmaterasus blessings to all the citizens of RyokoOwari. Its a grand moment, my friends, and morethan merely symbolic. They say that if the SunGlobe is not lit, the Sun will look down on ourcity in disfavor, and we will have misfortune inthe next year. But why would anyone want toanger the Sun? Its all just a childrens tale, ofcourse, and nothing more.

game in the corner progresses to its conclusion.About halfway through the game, the playershould make an Intelligence+ (either Battle orCourtier) against a TN of 15.

If the characters go to the warehouse, they willbe approached by the Thunder Guard, askingtheir business. If any of the characters areMagistrates, the guards will bow and allow thecharacters inside. If they are not, Oruku will step

forward as a Magistrate, and the guard will let theparty through.

In the warehouse, the characters find two ofthe Thunder Guard talking to the Unicornmerchant. Shinjo Sanefusa, the son of the actualowner, is criticizing the Guard, the evening, thewares, and anything else that catches hisattention. Sanefusa is a small, talkative man whois opinionated, repressed, and very unhappy aboutthe state of his fathers warehouse. Although hisfather is sixty-eight years old, and should haveretired long ago, his irascible temper has kept him

from entering a monastery, and he still runs thefamily business- as well as the life of his son.

. .. But you dont understand, Dokiu-san Myfathers shipments for the festival were in thesecrates! Look at them, theyre ruined! How can wetake these to the festival now? The little Unicornman is sweating heavily, mopping his brow witha silk cloth as he gestures at the mess.

And it is a mess. Boxes have been overturned,huge claw marks torn through others, andfireworks and costumes are tossed about thestraw floor like confetti. The Unicorn, whom theThunder Guards call Sanefusa-sama, continueslecturing even as he watchesvou aDDrOaCh.

When the characters speak to Sanefusa, he willbe polite, even obsequious, and will constantlyblather on about how angry his father will bewhen he hears of this. He will pick up one of thebroken masks and thrust it into one of the playercharacters hands, asking what should be donewith the rubble, and what the city intends to do.

Shinjo Dokiu, a Unicorn Magistrate and

shugenja, will smile and be helpful to thecharacters. He usually works at the prison, butbecause of the festival, he has been sent to writedown the merchants complaint. He is a thin, pale-looking man with a crooked smile and a shynature. He tells the players that if they need himfor anything, they can find him at the prison(location 11) later tonight.

The boxes show every sign of having beenshredded by Oni no Chizaro: claw marks, hugeclawed footprints in the straw, and the marks ofsmall, scuttling feet along the walls and cartons,as well as slime, drool, and m ore black tarry gunk.The area guard says that he heard onlya largeroar, and by the time he could arrive from the farside of the docks, the doors had been ripped open.He swears he saw something awful leap throughthe air, but wont describe it, out of fear. If thecharacters describe Oni no Chizaro, his eyesbecome huge, and he nods, his face turning white.

On the carton of masks and costumes, there isthe symbol of a Scorpion merchant, also depictedon the manifest gathered from Bandit#2. Themark was also on the carton of costumes andmasks at Doji Tsumetsus home. Any characterwho has been in Ryoko Owari for more than a

The Shosuro guards know that Chizardealing with Oni and withm h o magic. Ththat have remainedwill fight to protect the seknowing they would be condemned to dshould they be discovered.

STRIKEThe Warehouse:Four guards, plus the two from the door

will charge the PCs on the ground floor ofwarehouse, dodging between crates and baand engaging in combat as rapidly as possOne of the guards will pull the door to the sclosed, and drop a tremendous oaken bar ovesolid wooden doorway.

Warehouses are made of solid wood, tremendous pillars in the walls to holdceilings aloft. Any character being thrown agthe walls will not find the soft buffer of paperbalsa wood, but rather the sturdy brace of o

To the rear of the warehouse, hidden undlarge blanket, the characters will find anoshipm ent of boxes. These boxes are nearlempty, but appear to have contained melaborate masks. The few boxes which still masks in them have been opened and searrecently. The masks are all porcelain, expenlooking, and unpainted.

On the side of these boxes is an unusualmA blurred Lion mon and a strange kabuki mdecorate the boxes. None of the players hasseen the kabuki mask logo, although it imthe crates belong to a minor merchant,traveling artisan group. They certainly dbelong to the Scorpion.

Stair to the Upper Level:The stairs are old and rickety, and any figh

or acrobatics will cause them to sway wildly.will force any characters who fight on the s


29/54

to make an additional Raise for each attack, andan Agility test againsta TN of 15 once per roundto stay upright on the lurching stairway.

The Upper Level Balcony:The balcony circles the upper perimeter of the

warehouse, and overlooks the warehouse floorbelow. Two more Scorpion bushi rush from thedoorway when the guards shout their warning,and will remain on the balcony withdai-kyu,shooting arrows down at the PCs from above.Ifthe PCs charge them, they will draw their katanaand fight back. Perhaps an overzealous guard ortwo could be thrown to his deathon the cratesbelow?

Overzealous GuardsSpeaking of overzealous guards, three more

Scorpion lie in wait behind the office door toambush the party. Because they are disturbed bythe m h o at work in the rooms beyond them, andare, afterall, overzealous, theywill react too soon.Instead of gaining surprise against the party, theywill simply charge through the door once they seeany of the PCs on the balcony. Oneof these bushihas the keys to the gate beyond the office door.

Office:The room from which the three guards charge

is a simple office, witha low table, a pot of water,and some half-eaten bowls of rice. Otherwise, it isempty. A door is on the other side of the room,and a bright light emanates from beneath it.

Locked Room:The door to this room is locked, but the door

will come down if a significant amount of force isapplied. Any character with a Strength of2 orhigher can make a Strength check against a TN of15 to break down the door.

This room is a rectangular area,two sections by a series of iron bars with a gate

in the middle. The gated area appears to be thestorage area for valuable goods, and large cartonsof goods rest on the other side of the iron bars.Another door also stands on the far side of thegate. There are a few candles in this room, on alow table where the front two guards were seated,but a great deal of the light in this room is comingout from under the far door.

There are three more Scorpion in the mainroom, twoon this side of the gate, and one behindthe gate. The closer two will immediately attackthe party, while the third will wait behind the gatewith a small han-kyu,firing arrows at the PCsthrough the iron bars.

If the party doesnt have the key to the door,the archer will run out of arrows after he has fired20 times. The barred gate is a much moreformidable task to remove or destroy, and canonly be attempted by a character, or characterscombined, with a t least a Strength of4. Once outof arrows, or the gate has been broken down, theScorpion will stop fighting and surrender. He alsohas a key to the gate, and will unlock it for theparty if they swear to spare his life.

The Scorpions name is Shosuro Fujun, and heis terrified - of the PCs, the Oni, and especiallyChizaro and the m h o being performed in theother room. Hes ready to spill his guts, if theparty gives him a chance. The door behind him isunlocked.

Please, listen to me ... the Scorpion begins.My name is Shosuro Fujun, and I serve theScorpion house. It wasnt our idea. We are bandits,but we arent sorcerers. didnt know what hewas doing with the candles. And the blood. Please. youve got to believe me. youve got to helpme, or all the souls in this city will be devoured?

Although Fujun doesnt know much, he willgladly tell the players everything. His Master isbeyond the well-lit door, and there ismaho there.

The Main Office:One final guard is standing in this room,

outside the circle of candles.

Other than a tremendous circle of candles andtwo men, the room is completely empty. One mansits in the center of the candles, mutter ing tahimself and drooling slightly, as if he has littleidea what hes saying anymore. His headis newljshaved, and his robes are fouled with dirt. Smallbowls of blood stand a t the base of each candleand as the wax drips down, the blood slowljoverflows onto the floor. The second approachesyou cautiously.

The final bushi, Shosuro Hodei, does not wantto fight. If his brother, Shosuro Fujun, hassurvived, Fujun will call to Hodei and tell him tosurrender. The man in the circle will lookup atthe party, but continue chanting weakly. There

should be a tense silence before Hodei sheatkatana and bows.

I dont know who you are, strangers, bulook like Magistrates. The Scorpion sayword a s if it were a curse, and wipes his mwith the back of one sweaty hand.If yosmart, youll take one look at Chizaro-sunflee. Go on, turn your backs and run. This cgoing to be gone by morning,so there will bone to tell the tale to your Lords? His sounds ragged, defeated, as if he has no hosurvival.

The candles around the man on the floora physical barrier that cannot be croShugenja Lore or Shadowlands Lore at Twill reveal the circle as a form of summo

watches the players poke at the barrier for a fewminutes, he will interrupt rudely:

You wont even hurt it. Fools. He snarls again,pointing at the old man. Would you believe thathe is only as old asI am? Hodei turn s to you, andsmiles. Hes been aging since dusk. Since hecalled that ... thing.

You want to know about the Oni?I was herewhen he cast that circle. Just after the three mencame to visit him this afternoon. Hodei shrugs,What matters is that he gave his name to it.Doyou know what that does to you?

After a pause, Hodei continues.I ew daysago - three, maybe four - some of our menattacked a caravan. What they brought back wasrich. Money, silks, and some crates of things forthe festival. Costumes, mostly, and masks. Really

expensive masks. So my boss, Chizaro, heindicates the man chanting in the circle, sold thethings to three of his best buyers: a Crane, aUnicorn and a Crab.

Then, today, some men came to visit Chizaro.Said they knew about the caravan. They wantedthe masks. Just one box. Onespecificbox. Out often boxes of porcelain masks, they just wantedone. Nothing else. I dont know why, but theywere serious about it. When we didnt have them,they shut themselves in here with Chizaro andstayed a long time. They looked like normal guys-

one of them was really big, not muscular, justheavy. He spits on the ground, and continues,Then I saw their wrists. One of them had a big,black moon, branded right here. Hodei lifts hisarm and points at his inner wrist.

Moon Cultists- worshippers of Lord Moon.You dont mess with their kind. Things get uglyreal fast, when youre dealing with the kind ofpeople who want to put out the Sun herself.Hodei looks around uneasily,

Chizaro said they were going to kill him. Hehad to get the masks back, and soon. But therewas no way we could do it. Not in one night.

That was when he used the spell...Hodei doesnt remember anything remarkable

about the three men who talked to Chizaro. Theywore brown and looked like average citizens, alloverweight and boring. He does know that theOni was summoned to find the masks, and thatthe spell will end at dawn, when the Oni will gainChizaros name permanently, and if he does.

.. then this city will burn in flames, and allthe people inside Ryoko Owari will be nothingmore than food for the Shadowlands. One Onicant do that, no, but one Oni with a name, Hodeishudders. an Oni Lord, loose in Ryoko Owari.Then you will hear a thousand screams, littlemen, and some of them . will be your own. Heturns to you, and his face is pale and hopeless.Kill it, samurai, now, while you still can.Kill it, orwe all die.

Chizaro wont move, and he will continuechanting.If asked his name he will say,I cannotremember. My name . my name? My name is. so simple .. A series of mutterings, then Ido not have a name,... r do I? The candleswillburn down at dawn, and the Oni will haveChizaros name permanently. Shosuro Chizaro is

not a shugenja, his will is not especially strong,and the spell he has cast is a third-rate,bastardized form of a proper Oni summoningritual. Unless the characters can destroy the Onibefore the candles burn out, it will seize control,destroy Chizaro in some horrible, bloody way andemerge, free and powerful to rain havoc upon theCity of Lies.

The. Scorpion brothers know that the maskswere stolen from an unmarked caravan, travellingfrom Lion lands. They also know the masks w eresold to three buyers: Doji Juzo, Shinjo Sanefusa,and a merchant named Whisper, whoowns ashop downtown (location8).

On the dock outside the Scorpion warehouse(location 7) waits the strange tattooed man whowas at the Crane manor. When the party leavesthe warehouse, he will stand in the light and letthem approach him. As they do, he will walk

to stay back. He will point at them as he speaks,and m ake other hand gestures indicating that hewants them to stay a d istance away.If the playersdo not stop, he will act as if he is going to diveinto the water, and repeat his whisper aga in, morechastisingly.

hopes that they will look down in favor on theirdescendants.

Whispers shop is a seedy little dive indowntown Ryoko Owari, near the armorersdistrict, on Monks Edge Avenue and DiamondStreet. (location8) The shop is dirty, compared tothe others nearby, and its paper door hangsslightly ajar.

You find the shop, labeled with the woodensign Whispers Antiques, Artifacts and Oddities.This must be the place. As you approach the door,you see only a faint flickering light inside, andhear scuffling, chittering, and the sudden loudBang! of a table being knocked over. Somethinghas gotten here before you .. . and it doesntsound human.

Inside Whispers shop, things a re in chaos. Theshop is a small, one-room building, with balsawood and rice paper walls, and several low tables,shelves, and items strewn about the floor. MinorOni are scrambling everywhere, looking ineverything.

Nearing the end of the Hour of the Dog, thestreets are full of people leading their children tothe Sun Temple and carrying torches through thestreets. The characters may pass by a small shrine,where people are praying to their ancestors, in

Once you open the door, the cause of thedisturbance and noise is obvious: fiveof the littleOni are ransacking the place (with no morecourtesy than they used at the Crane house).Tables are on their sides, the cash box is on thefloor, and at least three koku in change hasspilled about on the floor. One of the littlemonsters leaps from a high shelf, toppling theone he leapt from. This is met with screeches andangry spits from the others on the floor, who a retearing apart what seems to have been a sackoftrinkets. The last Oni drags a chipped porcelainmask out from under a brightly woven rug, andscreeches eagerly to the others.

As the Oni look toward him, one catches sightof you in the doorway and screams a warning.

The Minor Oni will fight to the death. The onlyexception is the Oni with the broken mask, whowill attempt to leap past the players and into thestreet, carrying the porcelain mask with him. Ifallowed to escape, he will carry the mask back atthe Scorpion warehouse.

If the players search the shop, they will find:false Oni ears; paintings; several kimonos; threekoku in small coins from the cash box. There aremany other things in this shop, ranging from theesoteric tq the bizarre- all of it junk.

Beneath the rug, the players will find a looseboard. A small space beneath the board containsan iron box with nearly twenty koku (a fortune!)in it, as well as two ledgers of scrolls, onecontaining Whispers accounts and the otherdetailing his daily activities. There is roombetween the box and the ledgers to conceal theporcelain mask which the Oni was carrying.

Whisper is fanatic about his journal, writingevery day without fail for the past year. In thejournal, Whisper makes mention of a younggeisha named Suruko. Suruko works at theHouse of Water Lilies, on Teardrop Island, and isa dear friend as well as his favorite geisha. He

speaks highlyof her and seems to be in love withher. In the last entry, he scribbles hastily:~ ~ ~ ~

There is no time to waste, and I must huny.Time is running short, an d the Oni will be hereany minute to kill me.rue heard of his rampagesacross the town, and the only one left is me.Ikyoto brought the sword - my last hope! - andnow Igo to my dark fate. Suruko, Suruko,I haveto see you, just one more time, beforeI die ..

The mask which the Minor Oni was carrradiates m h o magic to such a strong extent any shugenja with Lore: Maho will be abldiscern that something isnt quite right aboumask. Spirits brought by Summon or Commwill refuse to touch the mask, proclaiming this part-alive and that it is evil. The masdefinitely magical (See sidebar, pp29).

Teardrop Island is the location of the LiceQuarter - the area where geisha houses and opleasures await those with the wealth to afsuch luxuries. It is a place for samurai to expninjo, human feelings and desires.

On this delicate island are several famgeisha houses: the House of the Morning StaHouse of Foreign Stories, and the House of WLilies, to name only a few. The House of WLilies (location9) is a fairly recent establishmas it has only been open for forty years. causes the geisha of the other houses , to down upon the Water Lilies with derision, cathem little sisters. Further, they take gpleasure in implying that the patrons of the WLilies are either low-class, poor, or stupid.

CHALLENGE

It is well known in Ryoko Owari that visto Teardrop Island must leave their weaponSwords Polished, the gateway to the licequarter. If the characters wish to bring weapons along (in preparation for an immOni attack), they must find another way ontisland. Players should be reminded of circumstance as they approach the island.

There are several ways to sneak onto TearIsland, all of them illegal. Rafts carry visacross in secret, characters can choose to try

luck at swimming against the current of the river,or they can strike a bargain with a fisherman totry to ferry them across under cover of cargo,unloading them at a cargo dock rather than themain dock. In any case, let your players decidehow they wish to gain access to the island.

If the characters take the public ferry, they willgo through Swords Polished. Swords Polished isthe publ
