Yugure succeeded, and the man gave him information about a better instrument, hidden in the tomb of the previous court bard of the shogun. Furthermore, he added that bringing a party would be "tradition-breaking", and that he had to be careful for poisons and swords. Finally, he told Yugure about having to complete 3 challenges. * Yugure asked Lilima, Shunsin and Kukichi to come with him to the tomb in order to find information about the 3 challenges * Kukichi had the correct papers to access the tomb * The party encountered the ghost of Goro Asawe, which was angered because of the disturbance of his tomb. After a short combat, he was defeated * An encrypted scroll was found on the sarcophagus, which they brought back * Shunsin was able to decode the scroll * Defeat the giant Damoto in single combat * Shock the imperial princess Reika with a ballad * Visit the monastery of Morimaru * After that, the choto has to be found somewhere * Damoto is the guardian of Mount Moro * This means that both Kukichi and Daerun might benefit from defeating him * Yugure convinced Daerun to accept the challenge of defeating him * Imperial princess Reika * Daughter from the second wife of the emperor * 28 years old * Not married because picky * Rumours: * about her being a demon * that she is just annoying * Morimaru * Was on Heisei (not anymore) * Did sound-based martial arts * Stood in the Bashio prefecture * Shifu had problems with the shogun, then went away™ * For more information we went to the previously visited monastery * The shifu there could tell us that the last thing he heard Morimaru was in a place without time * However, although there is no time on the astral plane, there is also no sound over there, so instead the party decided to go to the ethereal plane instead * Kukichi knew some wizard friends who can cast the relevant spells for ethereal plane shifting * First the party went to the location of the monastery, where they found the dimensions, and that it really went to the ethereal plane * They also found small portals at the location * They decided to find one of the wizards in the cities who could help the party travel there * Before they go, they put cotton wool in their ears in order to prepare for the sound * They cannot be there for longer than 16 minutes * When they arrive, they see a lot of mist and hear monks shout loudly in the distance * They arrive at the monastery, where monks are practising their katas while shouting * They speak to the shifu * He tells Yugure that Goro Asawe died because he drowned in a vat of wine * He also told him about the weapon-like features of the Choto * Furthermore, he warned that the Choto had a curse "not from this plane" * Finally, he handed Yugure a scroll in a copper case * They then traveled back to the city * The scroll says "lies" (ligt)
