Baoyu Lin

At Yokai Pirate

Descendant of the Jade Dragon
The waves are choppy, but the crew and passengers are in good spirits. Thanks to your presence and Empress Ai No Miko's, they're reassured and confident that her plan will work. Now, what can I help you with?

Ai No Miko
Empress Ai No Miko made the difficult decision to accompany us on our voyage. She confided that if she had stayed in Akiba, it would feel like she was shoving our people out of sight and mind. At the moment, a body double has taken her place. The Empress' closest allies have reported that most, including emissaries from Wuji and even some visitors from Greenguard, are none the wiser.

Warriors
The Serpent Warriors of Empress Ai No Miko's royal guard was established after the passing of her father. We wear the image of the Gold Snake in her honor, and have sworn to protect her with our lives. Many feel guilt over staying in hiding when the Empress suffered terrible losses and continued to put herself in harm's way during times of great crises. As her Serpents, we will face all ordeals at her side, come what may.

Innate Magic
Yue caused some trouble when she took charge of a Lunar Festival and traveled to Greenguard for a Grenwog Day party. She created creatures made of life-extending elixir by accident. This is a far less harmful form of our innate ancestral magic. My own affinity leans towards metal and it took tireless study to keep myself from accidentally causing illness. Certain types of metals can cause terrible incidents of poisoning.

Descendant of the Jade Dragon
We're being pursued by Greenguard ships! Go to Empress Ai No Miko's side and tell her. I'll stay here and spread word to the passengers for the time being. We may need to prepare for combat. Looks like our pirate ruse has gone a little too well.

After completing the 'Salty Roots' quest:

Descendant of the Jade Dragon
The passengers and crew are feeling unwell. I imagine Lord Brentan's knights are also ailing. The tide of liquid mercury is to blame and our healers won't be able to keep up if we decide to sail. Our best course of action is to take shelter in the cave on Takarajima's beach. Be careful not to let the waves splash you. Mercury can cause fatal organ damage, and soon it'll begin to release vapors that will be impossible to avoid.

Our clerics are working as fast as they can to catch up to our current plan. The moment everyone is well enough to move, we'll clear the way and head into the cave where our ancestors are.

Quicksilver
The silver snakes slipped through the crevices of the ship. They're familiars created by Wuji sorcerers out of pure mercury. According to our old scrolls, Quicksilvers can slither and swim to assassinate targets from miles away. Their bodies alone are giving off poisonous vapors. If it were not for my innate magic, I would be bedridden like the other passengers. Snakes…both venerated and feared as one of the Wu Du, five poisons.

Needle Mouths
Men boarded the ship after the Quicksilver weakened our defenses. They are not undead, but immortal commoners from Wuji modified by magic. Sorcery was used to reduce their mouth to the width of a needle so that they're unable to eat. They are on short rations and forced into hard labor. My family's record noted that criminals are subjected to this fate, but I can't help but feel pity.

Poisoning
I kept the Quicksilver from getting near the passengers, but just the mercury vapors affected them severely. Difficulty breathing, nauseating headaches, and the worst cases lost the ability to move and see. The clerics report that organ failure would arise with further exposure. Healing magic can keep the effects at bay for a time, but Wuji's metallic magic is unearthly and potent. To be expected by a place blessed by the Avatar of Metal.

After completing the 'Pearl of my Heart' quest:

Descendant of the Jade Dragon
I'll have a lot of paperwork to do when we get back. This is why Yue accuses me of being the most boring of Dragons, but someone has to get the Empress' great grandfather's affairs in order. We'll have new members of the Akiba Navy as well. Do you want some sweets? Great Grand Uncle Zheng gave me some with a pouch of pocket money. I'm a bit old for such things, but it did make me smile.
