The Cold Dawn Returns to Jiangmou

Criminal Activity

A refugee monk, an abandoned pirate, a rebellious noble, and a broken man have a fated meeting when a band of corsairs threaten a coastal village.

In the early evening, the twinkling lights of the Cold Dawn are spotted off the coast of Jiangmou in Yo-Shien.   Li Dan leads her corsairs in an attack on the village while leaving a small retinue of pirates behind to guard the slaves. Tong'Shi goes to defend the village while Batu and Odraz are sent to cause a distraction at the ship.   Tritons attack the moored ship, causing havoc. Hazu and Tymir use this chaos to escape.   The PCs clear the ship of both pirates and triton, and decide to work together to deal with the current crisis. They set the Cold Dawn adrift in the dark sea.   Back in the village, Li Dan has set the ancestral shrine alight and is holding the town hostage, demanding that Batu Gantulga be brought forth. Tong'Shi's limp body lies poisoned on the ground. Batu encounters an old friend, Toiro Enzoji, who refused Li Dan's order to defile the shrine, and he was cut down for his mutiny. Batu narrowly saved Toiro's life.   The fledgling party arrives and challenges Li Dan. They do battle; Batu and Hazu struggle over Li Dan's fate. Li Dan is captured and promised to the townsfolk for justice.
