At the entrance to the Path of Serenity, Naoe and Yasuke found the yamabushi Genpaku standing next to a shrine. As they approached him, the monk freaked out and took a guarded stance.
"Genpaku:'Step no closer, stranger. I am no imposter.
Naoe and Yasuke approached and spoke to him regardless.
Genpaku:Don't hurt me, please!
Naoe:What? I wouldn't hurt you.
Yasuke:What? I would not hurt you.
Genpaku:I am Genpaku. A true Yamabushi. You have not seen them, then. The imposters.
Genpaku:Yoshiharu may be short-tempered, but I am glad he sent you my way. How is he?
Naoe:Both he and Murasaki are safe. But on the road, they were attacked by someone pretending to be a Yamabushi.
Yasuke:Imposters? My ally, Naoe, met your brother.
Genpaku:Yoshiharu?
Yasuke:Yes, in Iga. They spoke of you.
Genpaku:Yoshiharu may be short-tempered, but I am glad he sent you my way. How is he?
Yasuke:Both he and his granddaughter are safe. But on the road, they were attacked by someone pretending to be a Yamabushi.
Naoe/Yasuke:What do you mean "them?"
Genpaku:Suddenly rumours of murderous monks are everywhere. True Yamabushi are ascetic wanderers. We shirk earthly pleasures to connect deeply with nature. It is our practice. Accomplished Yamabushi exorcise evil spirits. We are healers.
Naoe/Yasuke:So these imposters not only give a bad name to your practice, they harm others.
Genpaku:They wear our robes as costumes. A cover to attack unsuspecting innocents. Stop them. Bring peace to our mountains again.
Naoe:I've already dealt with some of these imposters, but I'll search for the rest. To protect the path of the true Yamabushi.
Yasuke:I've already dealt with some of these imposters. I will search for the rest. To protect the path of the true Yamabushi.
Yasuke:I will look for these imposters, Genpaku. Your mountains will be peaceful again.
Genpaku:Thank you. These men cannot be allowed to spread harm and suffering under the guise of Yamabushi.
