Chapter 2: Birdsong in Hollow Valley

Oct 13, 2019 10:49 am
There are several tense moments when you are almost spotted -- at one point, a toad steps on Iko's foot, and once, Feng brushes up against one's pebbly skin -- but you make it out of a dangerous situation thanks to Mimi's and Orengi's combined skill!
On the return trip, you keep well away from the haunted valley; you can still feel the tugging on your heartstrings by the faintly heard birdsong.
By late afternoon, you're back at Yao Fei's, where you give the apothecary the deadly mold samples. The slug-man gives you the three doses of antivenom he was able to produce.
What now? To the salt marsh?

"These antidotes are good insurance." The monk was now ready to hunt the beast.

Mimi, you came here to investigate rampaging spirits that may one day destroy nature. But the spread of the unnatural and deadly, mind-altering yellow fungus could be just as great a threat to the natural order. Thinking back to the desolate valley haunted by ghosts of its beautiful past, you shudder to consider the possibility of an entire forest or the entire world ending up like that!

"The hunt is on." Feng responds casually, looking at something in her finger with great interest.
Oct 14, 2019 11:16 pm
"So we got back safely thanks to Mimi's guidance." Kalam bows respectably to Mimi. "I think that hunting down this beast and putting an end to it once and for all would be the best course of action for now. We can deal with the spread of that fungus after. Saving citizens may give us insight as to what is going on here." Kalam looks at each individual as he says this.

"We may end up hunting by night. Best we bring some torches as well as some of the equipment Kalam suggested earlier."

Iko looks to the sky, judging how long it will be until sunset. "If it is all the same to you, this would be the best time for me to meditate and offer prayer to Dai'Shan. I fear we will need more power than I currently have for our hunt." He looks to the rest of them. "It would be best if I could find a private, quiet place to perform my rites. I believe we still have a room at the guildmaster's inn, do we not?"

OOC:
You no longer have the suite. Hee-Chul kicked you out this morning. You can meditate in Rong Hua's room, or you may rent rooms if there any available.It is You Shi, the hour of the rooster. The sun is about to set.

"Unless you wish to pay for a room, no. My shop however, is always free for you."
Oct 15, 2019 5:19 am
"Sure, let's hunt the beast..." Mimi nods to Wu Meng. She has been busy thinking back about the threats to the natural world she has seen. "Once this people-killing creature is slain, shall we handle the issue about the forests? I can't help but feel a growing imbalance..."

"Very well, if we have errands let us run them, and meet here again in an hour." Wu Meng himself adjourned to check on Rong Hua. He had looked out for her yesterday, and felt it necessary to see how she was doing.

Wei stays silent for the most part once they hot back to the city. As the group splits up to make preparations Wei goes to check on possible supplies for combating the beast.

"Mimi, I agree with you. The issue of the forest and this fungus must be laid to rest. I shall assist you in this endeavor should Meng agree to as well. No disrespect, but he and what he carries are my primary concerns at the moment. He is the last Mountain of Shifu Gen. That makes him invaluable, not including that which he carries." Kalam sighs.

Feng has the curious blue crystals in her possession, perhaps a vendor can give her some insight.
OOC:
I don't even remember having these things, but they've been in my inventory so I should probably do something about them.Oct 16, 2019 5:21 am
Mimi has no clue about what Kalam is saying about Meng, so she nodded in response with a confused expression. She figured it's best not to ask too much.

"Thank you Kalam. I do have our shared agenda in mind, which is to investigate the massacre of my temple, and figure this out as well." Wu Meng showed Shifu Rao's flute to the duelist. "This belonged to Shifu Rao, and was found in the possession of an evil Hiptite wizard. Perhaps some trouble may have befallen the temple of the Wind as well."
He next pulled out his most treasured object which he had been guarding with his life, the scroll given to given by his shifu. "I have been given this, but am only allowed to open it when I attain enlightenment. It is part of a sutra shared between my master and yours. Perhaps you have the right to open it." He humbly handed over the item to Kalam.

Kalam gently pushes the scroll back into Mengs hands. "I haven't reached enlightenment either brother. Though I am humbled that you should believe so." Kalam looks at the flute with a troubled expression. "You are right to be worried about Shifu Rao, that can be something else we can look into. Though I am reminded of one of Shifu Qians teachings, trying to solve the world's problems is like catching the rain." Kalam looks at the flute as he says this.
Oct 16, 2019 2:29 pm
Meng returned the scroll back to its case. As for the flute, he continued to wonder if some enemy was intentionally going after all the Eightfold Path in turn. It'd be a long journey to the lands of Hiptos to investigate this.
"To solve the world, one must first solve oneself." Meng intoned with a slight melancholy.
