Birdlike beatdown

## Quest description

After summoning a dispassionate Stormcrow, Hino Yoshio was able to convince it to possibly grant a boon to himself in the form of a gift.
He was then tasked by the warlike spirit with overcoming her weakness of being a Tengu by beating the first foe he would find in a brawl without help from his Sentai.

### Progress

* Looking for a fitting enemy once they left the Court of Serene Silence, Hino Yoshio made the acquaintance of O'Brian Liam
* When he finally found a fitting enemy, Hino Yoshio fought valiantly, but ultimately succumbed to his foes blows.

### Presumptions and conjectures

* Hino Yoshio's inexperience in brawls may prove a real issue for this quest.
	+ This proved to be true.

### Outcome

* After being knocked out, the quest was failed by Hino Yoshio
	+ The would be mugger or rapist didn't have time to celebrate his victory however, as he was swiftly beaten down by the three sighted members of the Wardens of the Past. After his would be victim fled, the man was devoured by Hino Yuu after the Wardens of the Past contacted Learns Quickly since the man had a pass to a club in his ward.
A test of inflexibility and overconfidence

Having challenged the perpetually happy Kazuko Naomi, Acts First was given the following tasks for her Steel rank challenge:

* Prove that you are no coward by facing your greatest fear
* Defeat three worthy foes, one with your body, one with a weapon and one without either
* Return to Kazuko Naomi and face your final challenge

### Progress

After several attempts, Acts First was finally able to defeat a powerful foe with her own body.

Having struggled to find a way to defeat a foe without a weapon, she eventually decided to skip the second part of the challenge and simply combine it with the last.

### Outcome

Believing that she could complete part of the second challenge as well as the final challenge

Showing no understanding of her failings and having attempted to overshoot her target at every turn, Kazuko Naomi felt that she had no choice but to fail Acts First.

This ultimately led to Acts First leaving the School Sentai with nothing but a letter of farewell.

This of course helped his role as Historian of the Court to no end. When talked to, he was calm, understanding and friendly most of the time.

Captain Goldbeard

Little is know about this enigmatic seafarer, but he claims to have sailed the twenty one seas and seven of the oceans.

Return to the Fera description

Check a list of Balam characters

### Tribal culture

Like most Bastet, the Balam used to be rather solitary, but the constant attacks on their lands have forced them to band together.

Spread across most of Middle and South America as well as parts of the Mexico, the Balam lay claim to a vast swath of land for which they simply do not have the numbers to protect it.

A lot of their legends are intertwined with local indigenous folklore, which makes them fiercely protective of those peoples.

### Tidbits & trivia

* The Balam may not be the strongest Bastet, but they are by far the most ferocious in thought and deed

### Relations with other Shen

* Because of their areas of influence, they have a closer relationship with the Mokolé-mbembe than any other Fera, apart from perhaps the Corax.
* While they are not truly allied, they have a mutual understanding with the Balamob, jaguar magicians of Mayan descent.
* These days, some of them begrudgingly work with a select number of Garou from the Garou Nation, though they still hold the Shadow Lords in contempt.

Kinfolk has been disappearing in the city.

### Progress

* The School Sentai freed Smiling Shin, who had been bound in the Wall between the material realm and the Mirror Lands.
	+ He had been attacked by two strange men in the home of his girlfriend, one of them armed with a gun filled with silver bullets. The one who fired at him was of average height and extremely unremarkable. He was actually faster than could be expected from a human and attacked with a silenced pistol.
* A few days later, Smiling Embers was shot at while he was driving a group of Kinfolk around.
	+ The bullets were made from silver
	+ This attacker was run down by the Scalpel Sentai and even though they went to great lengths, they were not able to extract any useful information from him
	+ she was part of a small organization hunting the supernatural, but neither she nor her compatriots or even boss were capable of actually fighting off an enraged Hengeyokai war party.
* These are the known Kinfolk who have vanished:
	+ A pair of Hakken Kinfolk siblings
	+ The girlfriend of Smiling Shin, most probably Kitsune Kinfolk
	+ An elderly lady, Tengu Kinfolk who took care of young rooks.
	+ An impotent man, his type and age not mentioned yet.
	+ The grandparents of Nagahara Ichiro seem to have disappeared on the 5th of March.

		- There was a struggle downstairs
		- Checking the Mirror Lands after torching the place, the School Sentai found that the entire place was bound extremely tightly
		- They then encountered a strange talking hunter spider who asked them in a female voice to leave the premises
		- It warned the Sentai off when they remained next to the house outside of their breed forms while threatening to summon reinforcements
* Swaying Breeze begrudgingly accepted that he had somewhat failed in his duty and he threw himself into it with further zeal.

### Presumptions and conjectures

* Apparently kinfolk was killed according to Chen Yuzuki
* The Hunter Spider did not step on the webbing.

Counting Kills

> counting shots and kills
>
>

> the first four slew their victims
>
>

> the fifth naught but air
>

> *- Hino Yuu*
>
>

After being bound into a Sentai, the five young Hengeyokai are given the task to stop seemingly random shootings at different shrines in the city.

Previous victims:

1. Onata Hiko, banker, Higashiyama Jisho-ji
2. Eda Hinata, shrine Miko, Shimogamo-jinja shrine
3. Pierce Edward, American tourist, Kyoto Imperial Palace
4. Odda Sanehe, bike courier, Kiyomizu-dera Shrine

### Progress

* The first thing the young Sentai agrees on is that they should check with Hino Kasumi, to learn more of the string of kills.
* Walking away from the shrine, they run into the killer by accident, as he is taking aim at a young child.
* Kurogawa Haafu and Hino Yuu try beating the man down, who proves a lot more resilient than they figured.
* Furukawa Machiko for her part, saves the child and brings it out of harms way.
* Towards the end of the fight, the assailant is taken down by Kurogawa Haafu who takes a few shots to the body for his trouble before being disarmed by Hino Yuu.
* After the fight, Hino Yoshio carries the gun away as a raven while Furukawa Machiko and Hino Yuu question the bewildered man who does not remember anything from the last few days.
* Reuniting, the Sentai concludes swiftly that the gun has taken an influence over its wielder and thus call upon Kondo Akasuki to help them get it away more easily.
* The weapon is a model made by Herculean Firearms Incorporated

### Presumptions and conjectures

* There may be a limit to the amount of kills, as guns can only hold so many bullets and with each murder, the murderer used another shot.
Boli Zousizhe tribe

A former camp of the Glass Walkers or, more accurately, the Iron Riders hailing from Hong Kong. Their origins are intertwined with the Opium Wars and the rediscovery of long lost Kinfolk in the then British mandate of Hong Kong and the surrounding areas.

Return to the Hengeyokai or Garou

### Tribal culture

The Boli Zousizhe follow a strange blend of Iron Rider philosophy mixed with traditional Chinese philosophy and ancestor worship

### Tidbits & trivia

* Whether or not there are any Lupus born Boli Zousizhe is a conundrum no outsider knows
* Unlike their parent tribe, the Boli Zousizhe place quite a bit of emphasis on tradition

### Relations with other Shen

* Given their tribal totem, the Boli Zousizhe are often held at arms length by the Beast Courts of the Emerald Mother
	+ This has not stopped some members of the tribe from joining, though it is understood that those who do, will be somewhat estranged from the tribe
	+ Ever since the acceptance of the Stargazer tribe into the Beast Courts of the Emerald Mother, more and more Boli Zousizhe have joined

### Presumptions and conjectures

* The return of Hong Kong to mainland China has destabilized the tribe to some extent.
* It may only be a matter of time until the rest of the Boli Zousizhe join with the Beast Courts of the Emerald Mother given the vast difference between them and the Glass Walker tribe that they are not even considered a true camp by either side

Avalanche Sentai

Once, they were the second Sentai that is still enrolled in school, the aptly named Avalanche Sentai was the crude and loud hammer that the Court of a Thousand Cranes used to remove obstacles and larger problems.

After leaving school, their battle tactics had gone from merely bold to downright suicidal, but so far, their unmatched ferocity has carried them to victory every single time.

### Relations to other Shen

* Cordial to the Scalpel Sentai and the Guardians of the Ancients. Formerly friendly with the previous incarnation of the School Sentai. These days they are more neutral towards them, which is quite an improvement after Kanate Tsuyoshi's attempt at manipulation.
* Still friendly with their former pillar, Mourning Mountain

### Tidbits & Trivia

* Originally, Moto Asuka was destined to become the Fist of this Sentai
	+ Her wasteful death at the hands of Amoru caused him to volunteer for this position
* Most of the Sentai are engines of pure destruction, but thanks to their Mirror and the wise council of the true persona of their Lantern, they can become a somewhat subtle instrument of destruction
