I discovered a lot of interesting books in Ide Kayo magical shop during our groups investigations of the place and left in search of princess with the hopes of never seeing Ide Kayo accursed place ever again!
I decided to send the princess a message before we left to confirm that, she was alive and then pull 2 creatures (Ungobongo and Ken) from my Bag of Tricks.
Ken was tied to the carriage and instructed to follow Seto, while I rested inside the carriage/repaired the mental damage Ide Kayo mental assault had caused.
I couldn't resist playing a little prank on Jerry (who seems to suffer from memory loss since, he doesn't recognize Rufus and even dismissed him) by convincing him that, Ungobongo is the Monkey King and had bestowed the cursed items upon him.
I wouldn't call the evening all bad despite waking up to discover an Oni have devoured Ungobongo (guess Karma is trying to tell us both something) and then have the same Oni kill my newly summon Axe Beak I named Chidori, since I got to spend quality time with Aien after we had avenge Chidori and Ungobongo and sleep next to Aien in Leira Tiny hut :).
Jerry summoned Rufus back the next morning and renamed him Spike, while I was busy pulling a black bear, which I named Akuma out of my Bag of Tricks.
Akuma lead us to a tree with a death Yuan-ti below (maybe Saraswati have mercy on her soul), that had been left by an Ronin hoping to catch the Red Demon, but she sadly only show up to deliver a fireball ad the guy and then left.
So either Rei Fish friend have been able to produce Gold nuggets out of thin air all the time or he was graceful towards us bringing him back to the sea that, he pulled out his saving from a pocket dimension.
Regardless an interesting experience.
Akuma manage afterwards to located the Princess, who had found herself an Samurai escort and I decided a little snak for me and Akuma was in order before talking with them.
Rei sadly managed to get confused for a demon due to popping her wings in front of the Samurai and fight broke out, in which Aien confirmed they wasn't like Ide Kayo by throwing a Fireball.
This sadly meant they wasn't willing to listen to reason and ended up getting majority of the party (including me) knock out, Akuma killed and Aien? Hope they don't kill him or I will never forgive Rei.
