As promised, I followed Tavia out to the Himalayan mountains in search of her nemesis's base of operations. As was to be expected, being back in the icy cold where she grew up surrounded by violence and cruelty brought some painful memories to Tavia, so I tried to focus her mind instead on the natural beauties of the picturesque landscape, which seemed to help, if only a little. We approached Master Khol Azuma's territory with extreme caution, avoiding the skies and staying low as possible and trying to blend with the environment. Some of the locals that we encountered appeared fearful of Azuma and it soon struck us just how far his influence reached across the neighbouring towns. While we were there, helping the locals with their troubles in exchange for cooperation and information on Azuma, the tyrant's men tracked us down and attacked us. Tavia was lethal as ever and fended off each ambush. She found something, a clue, on one of the would-be assassins, which hinted at Azuma's current operations and gave us insight into his next target. We had work to do now, but planned for frequent returns to the Himalayas, until Khol Azuma was found and re-captured.
