Game 1 - The King is Dead

Following the events of the Prelude, the players travel to Kyuden Nil along with Grand Master Last Laugh and most of the dojo students. The master's hundredth anniversary is coming up and celebrations will be held for four nights.

On the second day of the celebrations, dark clouds bearing foul weather break into a cold storm. Soon, a message comes: the King-Kami Hantei is dead.

Sweet Capucine, Daimyo of House Simian being stuck in the surrounding wilds during the storms was deemed dangerous. Her being out with the Scorpion's son, the Young Wolf was a liability the Clan could not afford.

As the characters set on their way to find the yound Daimyo, they came upon her troupe of guards and ladies-in-waiting, all of them dead. They were accompanied in their death by much of the Ember Wolf's cadre of guards as well, though the Young Wolf himself, along with Sweet Capucine, were absent.

A while away, they chanced upon the inanimated body of Nil Yinsen, yojimbo of Sweet Capucine, having sustained severe injuries. The medecine monk, Runn, treated the injured, but the group was soon ambushed by a group a Guardian Gorillas. The beasts were easily defeated, and were seen fleing toward Forbidden Yggdrasil.

Although forbidden, the group made their way to the valley in search of their Daimyo. Upon their arrival, they were met with similar Guardian Gorillas, though of a much more peaceful countenance. The group was led to the base of the forbidden tree and eventually invited to climb onto its branches.

Their, they were met by an anthropomorphic monkey named Kid Kong, who was their host and would be speaking on behalf of the Yggdrasil community and its leader, Papa Kong.

The group learned that Sweet Capucine had been taken against her will, but was well, unharmed, and protected. The Yggdrasil community insisted on keeping the Daimyo with them, even at the risk of making ennemies of their guests. When negociations seemed to hit a wall, Testost initiated a rescue attempt that saw the proceedings change into a free-for-all melee.

When the dust had settled, Sweet Capucine (and the Young Wolf) had been freed, Papa Kong had been slain and Kid Kong had been magically bound to Päf.
