The sun no longer shines on this place. Black clouds cover the sky and an eerie fog encases the school.
The Iron Tortoise School of Kung Fu was the first to submit to the darkness. A week before, Grandmaster Zhi Ming went missing. The master’s absence was a closely-guarded secret in the case someone or something threatened to take advantage of the school’s vulnerability, but somehow, the secret had escaped to the ears of one wicked man. Black clouds enveloped the sky when the sorcerer, Guozhi Han (Click for image), came to the school, and ever since, the sun has not shined on the place. He arrived escorted by the traitor, Bao Wang (click for image), a fighter much larger than Fang Yin, the grandmaster’s star pupil. Bao felt that he had finally acquired the power that he needed to best Fang Yin and claim the title as the strongest kung fu master in all of Tu. Even with all of Han’s dark ki, and despite all the destruction it brought to the school, Fang bested Bao and was certain he would best Han soon after, when the sorcerer uncovered his one weakness from the rubble. Sorcerer Han held Chenguang, Fang’s little sister, in his wicked clutches and threatened to pump her full of dark chi if he did not surrender. Scared for his sister’s life, Fang surrendered himself and the school. Bao shamed Fang before Chenguang’s eyes, the child forced to watch her brother get beaten and hung from the school wearing a scroll that welcomed visitors to the new Iron Tortoise School ran by Grandmaster Bao Wang.
As much as Han wanted to give Bao the satisfaction of humiliating Fang, he knew who the strong warrior truly was. Even while Bao was infused with dark chi, he still hadn’t been strong enough to beat him. There were still three other schools Han was interested in claiming under the dark influence. Why would he do it himself when he could send Grandmaster Ming’s strongest student to claim the schools for him? After all, if he was able to do so successfully, then Fang just proved to be an invaluable servant. If not, then it was no waste on his part.
Manipulating Bao Wang into believing that he would soon own four schools, Han was able to use both martial artists in his plans. He performed a ceremony to imbue Fang’s body with dark chi and sent him east to the Force Master School.
Do you have what it takes to take on the whole school?
Gouzhi Han has made a lair for himself deep within the school. It is accessible from the Grandmaster’s Shrine. From the main floor behind where the grandmaster sits, there is a stairwell hidden by magic that ki-users can dispel. The stairwell winds all the way down to a dark basement lit only by torchlight, and where the air is thick with dark ki. Guozhi Han sits in meditation at the center of a stone chamber with Chenguang in a black cage with bars crackling with dark ki.
But! Before one manages to get there, there are several dark chi possessed kung fu masters our brave heroes have to fight. Understand that these kung fu masters were once good people, and can still be if the heroes manage to purge their bodies of the dark chi. By incapacitating the former students, the heroes may manage to calm them down long enough to rid their bodies of the dark chi’s influence (if they possess healing capabilities, if not, then defeating Guozhi Han is the best method).
They also have to defeat the GM-controlled Bao Wang. He is just a treacherous bastard who is willingly evil and doesn’t really need to be spared. However, whatever your characters decide to do will have consequences, whether positive or negative.
Kung Fu Masters are primarily unarmed combatants. They are not capable of projecting ki. Under the dark chi’s influence, they are like wild beasts without any conscience restraint. They will fight at optimum ferocity without any morals holding them back.
Bao Wang is a GM-controlled NPC. So while, players have free liberty to fight kung fu masters however they would like, Bao Wang will be controlled by the GM and so players can expect a moderate-level of difficulty. He is the mini boss before the main boss after all.
