WELCOME TO HELL
MARCH 2022
Sewer Investigation
- They can find maps, but learning to read them would take precious time, increasing their likelihood of getting caught.
- They find more large scale waterworks. Whatever is being built seems to require a lot of water, and is being connected to the main water lines via hoses.
- Aside from what the Kappa are setting up down there, it feels like there's... something else. Deeper. But nothing that can be accessed from there they are. It's just a feeling really... probably nothing. Probably.

APRIL 2022
Assassination at the Night Parade
- The Kappa seem just as shocked about this as anyone (this doesn't really take expertise to notice, but it's an important detail that may escape attention in the chaos)
- The guns used by the black-clad youkai don't leave shell-casings.
- The optic camouflage the black-clad youkai use is not magic-based, and doesn't ping spiritual detection methods
- Despite this, the rush of steam will largely block most mediums, creating a wall of spiritual white noise that they can't seem to get past.
- The White Wolf Guard are famous for their senses, and it is a possibility the steam explosion was used to mitigate this
- The black-clad youkai *barely* have footfalls. It's almost inaudible.
- If there is anyone in the Kappa tribe who'd know anything about the contract work that lead to building the machine below, they don't seem to be present. No one knows where they are.
- Alliance leadership don't know where a lot of the higher ranked Kappa tribe officials are.
- The workers were all at the festival.
- They're worried the Enma is going to crack down on the Kappa tribe, and with the Daitengu dead, there's no one protecting them.
APRIL 2022
Marching Orders
- There are no leads right now. Finding them is part of the Enma's orders. The Tengu leadership are just as lost as anyone else is right now.
- The Kappa are being detained at the detention facilities beneath the Kaigo no Bou Tower
- Captain Shiki is in full crackdown mode and anyone outside the Department trying to bother her, especially Alliance types, is likely to wind up cracked down upon.
- No one knows where the upper management of the Kappa tribe is. They've disappeared.
- The Kappa didn't know what the machine was, they had assumed it was a generator, since it essentially functioned like one and that's what it felt like they were building.
- They are absolutely terrified because without the Daitengu to protect them, the other factions are going to hunt them down, hence why they're all trying to hide.
- The general vibe seems to be that the Alliance is in a ton of trouble. Whether this was an internal attack or an external one, they are ripe pickings for the other factions.
- No one knows who the black-clad youkai are. That was definitely Kappa-tech they were using (at least the optical camo is), but none of the basic workers will have any idea how they got a hold of it
