As contrasting as their ways are, the Crane and the Crabs do try to maintain a civil relationship. Sometimes, a rather odd Crane and a rather odd Crab would even build a personal rapport with one another and this is the case with Hida Jiro and Hiramori Chiaki. The two were wed for political reasons, but one can see that they have no objections to the match. This is, of course, a rare thing in romanceless society that is Rokugani Nobility and thus a big celebration was prepared. Many guests were invited from far corners of the empire and representatives of each great clans came from their homes bearing gifts. Among these many guests were the representative of the sparrows, a minor clan but one whose land lies close to both the crabs and the crane.<br/><br/>"Represent us well" his elder warned him before he left the hills. "Be sure to bring the Kimono you will wear in the party, do not wear it on the road for it will be dirty".  Their warnings were well waranted since reaching the land of the Hida requires the young lord to go through a forest region, one where Nezumi bandits often lurk.

Through the folliage, he can get glimpses of the blue sky above, but little did he know that his journey was about to turn into an adventure. As he entered the forest, he can see signs of combat, printed on the wet forest floor. The signs took the form of chaotic footprints and long deep lines. Most likely, the victor dragged the vanquished through the forest.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Investigation. dc 10 to follow the path, 15 and you see a body on the bottom of the nearby waterfall</div></div><br/>
