To recap the party are made up of the following characters:

Shikomo are humanoid and stand (4 to 5 feet tall). Their skins are dusky and are often covered in warts. Shikomo are unkempt but they take great care of their weapons. Shikomo once ruled the nights on the mountains of Nippon, before they were supplanted by the Oni.

Oni

Oni come in all shapes and sizes but most are large and have wild hair with horns and coloured skin. All Oni are very good with spells and normally can be bargained with if you are in a position of great strength.

2. The Adventure

2.1. Notes

The following is what I think happen and was important. If you think something important was missed, please rewrite the sections. If everyone agrees it will be so added to the official record.

2.2. Background

2.2.1. The Campaign Starting Position

The characters have all met in the small city of Kurokawa which is in the mountainous part of the island of Honshu this is currently under the control of the Miluzo Clan. (Howard, Pete and Tim's characters are locals of city and surrounding area, but none of them belong to the Miluzo Clan. Berry, Big John, Blackie, and Stewart are recent arrivals from the Great City of Sen-dai. The characters are now good friends and have decided. to make their fortune together in the Hills of the Wai-Campie.

2.2.2. Wal-Campie and all That

The Wai-Campie is a very famous place. This was the home of the Clan Tenwa, which was destroyed many centuries ago in its bid for ultimate control of Nippon. The Tenwa Clan was known have great power - both Magical and Physical at its disposal. The manner and reason for its downfall are locked in a complex and ever changing myth cycle.

2.2.3. (Tenwa) Krappi Karma

This is a new Samurai Lord that went into the Wai-Campie and since this time has with his followers grown in status - he is known to have the ear of the Miluzo Daimyo and rumor has it also the Emperor's Brother's friendship. The present whereabouts of Krappi has been unknown for some time but it is said that he has travelled to China on a Holy Quest for a local Kami called Uhura (has the physical form of a large black bird). There is a very large shrine in Kurokawa built by Krappi called 'Nicam-stereo' or 'The Freedom of the Soul' dedicated to her. At Krappi's house to the south of Kurokawa there is new Buddhist Temple called 'Baamebu Daa' for a Buddhist sect that revere Fudo-Myoo - a place truly to be seen to be believed.

2.2.4. Altuzu

The Demon-Lord of the Wai-Campie and Krappi's Arch-Enemy (well so Krappi claims). Some time after the fall of Tenwa, Altuzu took control of the Wal-Campie and it has been a haven for all the monsters of Nippon. In some of the myth cycles Altuzu helped in the 'liberation' of Nippon from the 'Evil' Tenwa.
