Thunderbeast lovers, Samurai, brothers and working with others

General Summary

The first question to answer was what do we do now? Any attempts to answer this question were cut short by the spotting of an onlooker in the trees. Felix and Alda pursued the figure. Whilst in the woods seeking out this person, there was another attack from the barbarians. A spear caught Kale in shoulder and seemed to have been tipped with something as she became immediately unwell. Battle ensued and the party came out the victors. The hidden figure in the trees revealed himself to be a Samuri intent on ensuring all the barbarians died. This clashed with the parties plans to keep one alive for questioning.
With the benfit of some time for a breather, Gao recognised the Samuri as his old student, Jinsu. Little had changed in their relationship and they butted heads once over. Jinsu revealed that he had discovered that Kasumi is the traitor who bought about the destruction of the Azure Sanctum. She was working with a group called the Ghost Tree Barbarians, whom have since been wiped out by Jinsu's hand. The Ghost Tree Barbarians are in turn working for the Stone Giants, who are also the protectors of The Abandoned.
Once things had settled down the party split for Tinst to finish their business with the Gutter Golddiggers. Lincoln was able to fool the leader, Maxwell, into revealing unto her what he knew about the magic items on the list. The group then decided they ought to pursue these Omnishackles and find Kano Jiro. First though, a stop off at New Rousanage.
