- The false emperor has issued a bounty for a serial killer known as the Brass Monkey.
- The tiger destroyed a shrine to the dark fortunes stating that there is no quarter for the followers of Fu Leng.
The party reached Toku Torid-e, where Emerald Magistrate Kitsuki Hanso had taken over investigations here looking for the Brass Monkey. They learned that he is manipulatable, and that Ide Kafu had manipulated him. Ide had received a bad crop of wheat, and has accused Taku Koin of having sabotaged it in attempts to get a trade deal for the Rin Men. The party learned that the "poison" was actually a naturally occurring fungus with mind altering properties, that they were able to turn into a drug to increase their understanding of the Void. They sent Yogo James in to negotiate with Ide Kafu into dropping the case because his wheat was valuable. Instead Yogo James manipulated Ide Kafu into selling the grain to the scorpion clan, improving his own standing with the clan. This got a ronin girl executed for the crime of poisoning the wheat instead.
As they left, two ronin assoicates of the dead girl attacked the party in their sleep. They were defeated.
The party then climbed the mountains to avoid the tiger clan forces watching the road, and came upon a hidden kenku village. The kenkus helped them have a vision where they learned the origins of the kami's fall to earth, instigated by a tiger headed kami creature who was instigated and betrayed by Fu Leng. They took several tests from the Kenku to train their minds and bodies for the upcoming conflict, and they were advised to seek out the blessings of the remaining five fortunes to empower them to defeat the demon.
