Story Two: Episode Three : More Troubles in Wa'an village
=========================================================

Scene One: Hypnotic Investigations
----------------------------------

With trouble in the village quite evident, the Exalted split into multiple
parties to investigate further and deeper. Qian went in search of the
naked wild man and found him with minimal difficulty - he was sleeping
soundly and poorly disguised with a few branched to give himself the
appearance of a tree, forgetting of course that branches don't grow out of
the ground. Hěn studied the man's physique and determimed that there was
nothing wrong with him physically, aside from a few expected cuts and
scrapes and the suffrance of a common cold.

Meanwhile, Xiǎo corned the serving girl, and when she was not immediately
forthcoming about the troubles at the village, Xiǎo placed a hypnotic
trance on her. It was through this state, that the girl was really Ma Shu,
the daughter of Ma Yin, and that the wild man was Wang Wei, the nephew of
Prince Wang Shenzhi. Who were the imposters? Yaoguai demons of gluttony
(food and sex) of course. "Nephew" likes to eat human flesh; "niece" likes
to seduce people and send them mad (special power). The demons had kept Ma
Shu and threatened to kill her beloved Wang Wei if she did not comply.

Scene One: Demonic Confrontations
---------------------------------

The Exalted held a convocation at the Shrine for their next actions. Shí
noticed blood on shrine, and Hěn realised that the blood would drive out
any protective spirit. It would need to be cleans and the spirit
resummoned. Deciding to confront the demons, they initially engaged in a
series of colourful insults, but combat was inevitable. Qian put the
Glutton Demon down with a mighty punch, whereas Xiǎo took out the Sex
Demon through stealth; among the possession was a magical blade.
