Teaser: Maze of the Fireflies

The time of the second annual Zaibatsu Invention and Innovation Expo has arrived! After hearing of the wonders of last year's expo, the Crab have decided to send a delegation of young up and coming engineers, along with the last invention of the late, great, Kaiu Ketsue. In honor of his dead friend, Hida Hachigoro has decided to take a break from law enforcement to see the ship safely to the expo.

He has asked any of his deputies who wish to volunteer to come with him. 

The delegation must travel north, up the Humbling River, if they wish to make it in time. But the rushing water and cold, muddy depths of the river are not the only dangers. Gangs of vicious river pirates prowl the river, and tribes of Ujik-Hai and Nezumi patrol the shores. But that's not all! The villagers say some new evil has taken up residence beneath the dark water and between the misty spires of Lake Meiro. Why in the name of whiskey and Shinsei are lakes always haunted? Keep you wits about you or you'll be pondering that question from a watery grave, dear samurai!
