 Thus Lee Ho followed the scent and interviewed Lord YYYY where he was imprisoned. The Buddhist priest had to bribe two Yakuza prisoners to clear some space for a private conversation. In return he'd carry a message to a loved one outside the jail for them. One of the Yakuza agreed and once again Lee Ho interrogated a suspect. Thus Lee Ho followed the scent and interviewed Lord YYYY where he was imprisoned.

-Lord YYYY was a very angry and bitter man. This was not surprising as he was once promised to be married to the Princess Easi Ko. The motivation and guilt behind his actions was easy to extrapolate, as was his hatred for the 'scum' known as MeBe. Lee Ho then took a message from the Yakuza and journeyed into Yedo. He then passed the message to the criminal's wife, but also added his own. A reward of ten gold would be given to the Yakuza clan's boss if he could succeed in a task set for him. The boss was to meet with the Buddhist at the castle.+Lord YYYY was a very angry and bitter man. This was not surprising as he was once promised to be married to the Princess Easiko.

 With such a ludicrously large reward the crime boss couldn't believe this could be a trap and so met up with Lee Ho. The priest requested the presence of the person responsible for manufacturing the poison used in the assassination attempt in the castle. The boss jumped at the contract and sped off to follow up this intuitive guess work. With such a ludicrously large reward the crime boss couldn't believe this could be a trap and so met up with Lee Ho.

 Back in Lord Krappi's quarters a disreputable group of escorted Yakuza delivered an old crone to Lee Ho. Lee Ho paid the criminals, thus gaining a sin and then healed the old woman who'd been severely beaten about. He then retired afraid of the methods which might be used to make the woman talk. Lord Krappi interrogated the petrified woman indirectly via MeBe. She admitted making a herbal poultice which could have been used as a lethal poison. Then Lord Krappi managed to trick her into revealing who'd paid her for the poison. It was the Emperor's Brother! Back in Lord Krappi's quarters a disreputable group of escorted Yakuza delivered an old crone to Lee Ho.

 +
 +> **That Night**
 +
 +Lee Ho and some Buddhists from the Imperial court prepare the dead Emperor body for the next days burial. Lee Ho notices that one of the Buddhists has a strange scar on his face that has been covered up with flesh coloured make-up. He asks his Yamabushi guard to watch him.
 +
 +In the early morning the Scared Priest throws a small poison bomb into the centre of the room. In the first round all but four fall to the ground. Lee Ho somehow managed to not take a breath as did his Guard. The 'Ninja' then punches the two other priest in the stomach and they go down at the end of the round. A fight starts between the Yamabushi and the Ninja. Lee Ho can not stop himself from breathing and he is overcome by the poison.
 +
 +The Yamabushi somehow defeats the Ninja before becoming overcome and runs outside into the clean sweat air. After recovering he discovers that everyone has been knocked out by the gas. He goes and gets Lord Krappi and the rest of the Hatamoto.
 +
 +The Ninja in fact turns out to be some form of Bakemono with a grey skin that is wearing the skin of one of the Buddhists Priests. Lord Krappi and men guard the Emperors body and there attended priests all night.
 +
 +> **Next Morning**
 +
 +Lord Krappi and Hatamoto are invited to the burial more because they are there with the body than for any other reason.
 +
 +Just as the pyre is about to be light, Lee Ho and Tokyo notice that there is a Tatsu descending at great speed. Lord Krappi looks around for the Ninja attack and does not spot one.
 +
 +Tokyo fire a massive metal storm at the Tatsu, but it dodges.
 +
 +Three Tiger like creatures with flaming tails jump from the back of the Tatsu. MeBe and Lord Krappi run to attack.
 +
 +There is a melee on top and around the Emperors funeral pyre. Lord Krappi seams to glow with divine light, one of the fire tigers is stunned. The Tatsu swoops down and blasted MeBe he is fried with a critical burn and collapse on top of the now burning pyre. Lord Krappi dispatches his and jumps / climbs on to the pyre. Quickly kills the two fire-tiger. Tokyo kills the Tatsu with large fire show of his own. Lord Krappi throws MeBe off the pyre and Lee Ho slowly runs to heal him (MeBe has 8 hp left).
 +
 +The party then start investigating the fire-tiger that is stunned by the aura of Lord Krappi. They find out that the Emperors body was supposed to raise and attack them as well. The disgusting though is crossing there mind about a grey Bakemono and human skin when the Regent approaches. Lord Krappi demands to have a audience with the Regent. It is granted for the afternoon.
 +
 +> **Later that Morning**
 +
 +Lady Easiko comes to see her brave fiancée after delivering the invite to Lord Krappi.
 +
 +
 +> **That Afternoon**
 +
 +Lord Krappi has decided that the Regent must be killed and 1st Son rescued from his evil clutches. A plan is hatched with three Samurai made invisible and guided to the 1st Son by Tokyo. Whilst Lord Krappi and Lee Ho go to the meeting with the Regent, where Lord Krappi will confront Altuzu's puppet.
 +
 +The invisible guard wonder around the keep under Tokyo instruction but instead of 1st Son being in his room he is in the garden with the Regent and Lord Krappi.
 +
 +The Regent thanks Lord Krappi for his help that morning and grants him the Governorship of the port of Amori. And he declares that Altuzu has broken the compact and grants Lord Krappi 'Right to War on his Enemy' i.e. Shogun (General in charge of an Imperial War). This seams to change Krappi's plan and he decides not to attack the Regent.
 +
 +There is a discussion between Regent, 1st Son and Lord Krappi about the mission. The Regent objects to the 1st Son going but does not stop him leaving with the party. It ends up with Lord Krappi and party and 1st Son leaving for Kyoto on a Kirin.
