The scorched ninja's

Gourd sets up a hammock in the garden and tells Rasa he is very happy here. Gil does not do well with Shoji doors and destroys his almost immediately. A knock at the door brings Rasa face to face with a Samurai with a golden mask & six ninja's. He demands to see Yanemay. Then demands a brass horn which he describes and depicts with magic sand. Things go south rather quickly and Mopuck & Gil cast fire spells killing the ninja's and damaging the Samurai. The Samurai cuts down Rasa with 4 attacks. Gourd goes into a rage and charges. He uses the horn to attack the Samurai along with his horns and the group takes down the gold faced warrior. 

Gourd takes Rasa to the church of Ion and gives them the horn in return for Rasa's resurrection, they agree.  Upon return to the dojo, Rasa takes the golden mask of the Samurai and places it on the wall where the horn once was displayed. They get a good deal of potions off of the dead. 

Gourd smells a sweet scent and it leads them to a citadel guarded by a few town guard. They make quick of them and rescue a Blue dragon held in captivity. Her name is "Litha" and thanks them greatly for their efforts. She agrees to fly them to Burning Town but needs three weeks to get her strength back after being so malnourished as a prisoner.
