Introduction: The PCs are commissioned to return the elderly paladin to his former homeland. Once the heroes have taken this task upon their shoulders, they quickly learn that not all things are as simple as they might seem.

Blood on White Petals
Publisher: AEG
Level: 2-5
Introduction: There is a secret to every message, and a hidden truth in every riddle… Traveling along the roads outside the peaceful province of Teshida. A humble ashigaru youth runs toward you, kneeling in the muck and mud at your feet. “Please,” he says, weeping. “Please.” He holds up a scroll, sealed with the chop of the village of Caotang. On the outside, written in poor calligraphy, is the word ’samurai’. Within, there is a message. In sloped kanji, tilted and barely legible, the message reads ‘We have killed the Village Magistrate, so sorry. Town of Caotang no longer can work. Awaiting sentence of death.’ Caotang is a wealthy village. Its production of silk worms is renowned throughout all of Kikumura Province, and without the yearly tithe from teh town, many master silk-makers will have no goods for sale when the winter comes. The entire province will starve. “I will take you to Caotang,” the ashigaru youth says brokenly. “And there, you must adminster the Emperor’s justice… and destroy us all.”
Bitter Waters
Publisher: AEG
Level: 1-3
Introduction: Through acrid mists and bitter waters they march. They are quiet, making no sound as they leave the marshlands. Spears held high, the warriors scan the fog for signs of the attacker. Every step took them further from their old lands. Every step brings them closer to the lands of their ‘allies,’ who had abandoned them when the marsh turned black and foul. Every step brings one of them down to the befouled earth beneath the water, there to rest forever. Every step churns up more of the poisoned water as it seeps between their scales and below the skin. So many had already died on this march and after the attack, they had so few left… The mists part in the night. The village’s light bathes them in a false welcome. The human guards are unsteady, either from poison or from drink. The town celebrates the end of the trade season, but not a man raises a toast to the creatures that died for it. So many had died from the first attack of the beast and from the aftermath, but the humans would suffer for such treachery…
