Description
Birds chirp happily in the colourful cherry blossom and maple trees, this captivating noise heard only barely over the noise of a powerful waterfall that surges into a river beneath an aged wooden sori bashi. The trunk of a large felled tree breaks the course of the river that begins its journey deeper into the forest, whilst here on the banks grows a myriad of wild flora relaxing in the soft breeze, the first signs of the fall approaching. A beautiful setting in which nothing life-threatening could happen, right?...
Encounter Hook
As the party crosses the old bridge, a scream is heard, as thrashing around in the waters below, is spotted a young boy. He is clearly distressed, as he struggles to remain afloat while the waterfall crashes over him. The boy yells for help. A simple rescue might be called for, but the more perceptive in the party might spot dark shapes approaching just beneath the surface of the water, and a flash of steel might glint off the sunlight on both banks. This rescue might get interesting.
