The PCs came upon a shrine in the shadowlands tended by an old monk. He tried to convince the party to visit the shrine and see Diagotsu's art, but the party refused. He turned into a skull cleaving oni and attacked but the defeated him.
The party wandered in the shadowlands until they were fond by Crab harriers and brought to Shinsei's Last Hope- a crab city in the shadowlands. They learned that the Isawa family was disbanded by the emperor and several high ranking shugenja were executed. This may be the end of void magic. They learned that the kitsu- who represented void are extinct, the last 3 (made mortal) were the precursers to the Lion's Kitsu clan, and that Zokujin (lion mining slaves) represent the element of earth.
They learned that the Spider Clan is coming with an army of oni summoned from the Oblivion's Gate, and they informed the crab that the destroyers were coming also. They learned that the snake caln were marching ogres and goblins to this city as well, so they left and approached the wall. They asked the crab to retrieve their brass weapons, and the crab said "after we deal with all these armies".
They got to the wall, but were unable to get the crab to let them pass. (They had no proper identification, they had not crossed the wall to enter the shadowlands, they were there illegally, and the borders were shut down so the families could not be verified). They were able to find the secret labrynth under the wall, and they went through the labrynth, bypassing the traps within, and found their way to the other side where they entered Rokugan proper.
