Game 18 - Plum Blossom Shrine
General Summary
After a little parkour, a whole lot of patience and a troll gut rope, the party manages to make the hike up to Plum Blossom Shrine. As with Izanagi's Shrine, this one too had been desecrated by the Invaders and a strange, supernatural corruption left to fester like a gangrenous wound. In the end, the party manages to protect Lady Adachi as she performs the purification rituals and dances to sooth the kami. From the peak, the party can see smoke to the east and what appears to be a small Mongolian camp...
