In The Ring with The White Tiger

As we travel the plant life loses life more and more. Soon a hum comes across the horizon, we feel it in our bones, Hideo senses the weave of magic in the air.
 
44: We see the Old Capitol in the distance like mountains. We continue to walk towards the rendezvous point. Into some grasslands where we can get a long rest as we wait for the caravan. In the distance, Basir sees torches. It is our friends! We relieve our packs to the servents and greet our comrades. Zyna and Ling are buddies now. We sleep then Basir and Hideo leave for a bit for Hideo to change into his hobgoblin outfit.
 
We go into the town and go to the stables and put our horses there. We go into the stable house to get some drinks and get a lay of whos hanging around. Guards come and escort us to see The Tiger. We walk into a courtroom and on a raised stage sits The White Tiger (Yan Baihu). People sit at low tables on the sides of the room.
We discuss with The White Tiger and try to gain his trust or at least a temporary alliance. Ritsu whispers to Basir to not tell them about the baby but say that we have a secret weapon. We made a deal that our best fighter will fight The White Tiger. If we win, he sends 5 good men with us.
 
We go to the Guild Hall which is the hub of shopping in the Capitol.
Ritsu: Long Bow +1. 10 Arrows +1, 1 Potion of Greater Healing, Two Potion of Healing.
Basir: 60 Bullets
Hideo: 3 Potions of Healing
 
We get some mooncakes and go to the smokehouse. We meet some tiefling mercenaries (8 for 450 GP).
 
We go to the fighting theater. Khoda puts on warpaint. Shamoke leads us up to the special seating for our group. They host kindly.
The Tiger and Khoda come into the room and give speeches.
As the fight goes on, while Khoda puts up a good fight, Khoda becomes frightened by the white tiger.
The Tiger disarms Khoda then drops his own weapon and reaches out his hand; Khoda takes it. The tiger then flips over him and rips his arm behind his back. Khoda gets out and attacks The Tiger and does damage, but then Khoda got stabbed by The Tiger with a dagger to his hip.
The match ends and The White Tiger gives us five men (Tenaka).
We hire the Tiefling mercenaries for 300 GP now and 100 GP later.
