A summary, more detail to follow if time allows. (Oh yeah, if you came here from Tmbraidr's page email him and tell him to write his side of the story).

      We go to Tsuma for our gempukku's at the Topaz Championship. The list of the usual suspects is on the page preceeding this : )

      A monk is approched by a Fortune and given the task of assembling a group of heroes. Each will be pointed out to him as he comes across them. The first one he finds is Kuni Yjimbo, an aspiring deulist. From there I believe they came across Shiba Hiraku. Then they joined the Ikoma Lioness' caravan that was headed toward Tsuma. After traveling with them for a bit they meet a Scorpion caravan. Then on to Tsuma.

      Well, there's lots of problems that occur before the Tourney proper starts. As we try to enter Tsuma, we get stopped by some town guards. As we introduce ourselves and hand over our travelling papers, the monk gives his full name. So, he gives his Family Name and First Name, Agasha Doshi. His mistake here being, saying he was a monk and then introducing himself using a samurai's family name. Impersonating a samurai is an executable offense. After a quick bribe from The Scorpion, the captain of the guard (who has a soft spot for opium) let Doshi in. Then things get real exciting, an Earthquake, a Fire, and a Flood all happen, in that order I believe. The Temple of Amaterasu cracks during the earthquake. Our group rescues people from the fires and goody type stuff like that.
