Session 38

Mike won a race and won a horse for each of us. Aayadin and Winky choose their horses.

Kolat assassin Gozo attempts to kill Moto Bat Bayar. Mike intercepts and captures. We discuss philosophy and government with Gozo. Ash duels Gozo. Gozo tells us that kolat have a building in Shiro Moto and will attack us when we leave Shiro Moto. Aayadin assigns Gozo penance: travel to Koryo and ShoLung and learn the language of each land before returning to Kozakura. Quickjump instructs Gozo to report to Quickjump upon return to Kozakura.

Kolat attack Orca at night. Kolat say, "The Roc Sect will always strive to destroy the Unicorn." Kolat claim to intend to return with more forces night after night until Orca/Moto Bat Bayar are all dead. "Master Roc" leads the Roc Sect. "Master Roc" receives letters at headquarters, the building at Shiro Moto that was pointed out to us.

Sabame--monk honoring destroyed nunnery. Temple to fortune of "happiness, fertility, and beauty, Kisshoten Seido"; nunnery was orphanage but Sabame claims the nuns were exploiting the children.
