- Bianfu Komori arrives due to a mysterious note surrounding the death of his parents.
- Mugen Rokuro is staying at the inn, on his way to the northern territories.
(clarification needed) Why was Jon Stark there?

- Passage to Sijan can be obtained from a Necromancer in Noble.
Act I
- Party travels to Noble, stays at inn, meet Sues Ocho, who directs them to Ohreinn Sanchez, uncle of Isoceles and former necromancer.
- Party needs to get a keystone from Ocho, converse with him at the bar, resolve to try and bargain/trade the keystone and steal if bargaining doesn't work.
- Highwind receives a small soulstone, party gets monkey stone and gem of calm heart.
- Party sneaks into the mansion at night (tries to) and steals the keystone.
- They also kidnap Sanchez and bring him with him back to Ravenhurst.
(clarification needed) what else was stolen from the manor?
Note: Stark leaves the part between Noble and Ravenhurst, leaving behind this note.
Act II
- The party returns to Ravenhurst and to the inn; there are dragonblooded guards there to ambush them but with the help of stranger/newcomer Ino Keia, kill them off. Captain Grau manages to escape once again.
- They travel through the forest to find a way into the underworld (with a stone that masks their life-force).
- There's a run in with a faerie. Mugen gets large, but otherwise everything works out fine.
- There's a slight run in with a group of ghosts but the group talks their way out of it.
- They find a ferryman named Pete/Tim, and ask for passage to Sijan.
- On the way, they stop to help a village being attacked by ghouls. Halar sleeps through it.
- They head to Sijan and stuff happens.
(clarification needed) What did everyone end up taking, if anything?:
- Ino Keia: Mask (Artifact ••) "alter appearance to look like anyone and to completely control the emotions that her face shows"
- Nothing much exciting happens, party finds what is probably a keystone?
- Return home.
- Find out Pete/Tim is a Deathlord.
- Forester from the prelude tries to take revenge by summoning a foe; swiftly killed by Isosceles.
- Pete/Time rewards him with a bell.
- On the return home, it was revealed that Ohreinn Sanchez (Ino magically disguised himself as Tim) had killed Bianfu's parents in order to gain access to the Underworld; Bianfu beat the crap out of him.
