Session 8: Meet the Villlagers Report

General Summary

You are introduced to Gorm the village leader, he tells you the person who wanted you to collect the supplies is a liar, he knows nothing about Sazen he lasted as a guard for one day before fleeing, he is a thief along with his buddies and seems bitter about it, Gorm knowns as he is the one who helped him. Gorm knows that something changed in Sazen a while back and things were better under the Emperor, the village was created as safe haven to those being publicly killed by those in taka (but why?).   Gorm says he knows someone who can give info on Sazen called Grugnak but will require you to do a job for him first. You agree and as you approach the area you need to be you notice three people in rags, you notice one has a white robe underneath and a Kekkan branding. You follow and they disappear, through further looking they went through a trapdoor that has a star like key, very specific.   You asked Gorm about this and he said that this place has been here for several years and wasn't built by him, there was rumour the original creator was trying to create a secret getaway but no one knew if it was ever completed. People here don't intrude too much into others business as long as it isn't hurting anyone.   You then headed back towards Gruknaks hut, on your way you came across a band of performing dogs, they asked for food, performed a pyramid stacking trick and then left once you applauded them. Some children laughed at your confusion explaining they are old circus dogs brought here by an old circus performer.   You then got to Gruknaks hut and entered, he was a hoarder and wanted help to open a mirrored cabinet, he had tried many methods to get it open but it was unbreakable and impenetrable. When looking into the mirror the reflection of yourself had a sinister smile and was holding a golden sphere with intricate designs. KenKen found a small box within the junk of the room with the same markings. Underneath the box was a button and above it said 'Play DEAD to get inside'. When the button was pressed a small labelled keyboard popped out. KenKen played DEAD on it and the box opened up revealing the golden sphere inside.   Kenken then held the sphere and mimicked the reflection, the cabinet opened and revealed a black Odachi which had blue lightening resonating from it, the sword whispered to him and he whispered back. Kenken was sucked into the sword and suddenly a tall creature emerged calling himself Synin, he said KenKen accepted him and was safe, he would be returned once false Sin was eradicated from Takaiyamagun.   During this Gruknak fainted and is now passed out on the floor of his hut.
