You know... I recall that we basically said "This thing from the Pale Radiance. I fear it is of the Shadow." Yasuki-sama said "Ah, I am sure it is nothing so dire. It is probably just politics." Then we encountered and fought some creatures of shadow, who had infiltrated the walls.
At the same time, Yasuki-sama has pretty much straight-up told us not to leave the castle for a while, and the Pale Radiance is not in the castle. Disobeying the direct order of a superior officer seems like a *terrible* idea to me, and yet I suspect that this should be followed up on.
[x] Seek out Yasuki Goro if he can be found, and if you can get a private moment, raise again your concerns about the Pale Radiance. Perhaps we ought to mention them to the diamyo? It may well be nothing, but if it is not nothing, it would be good to deal with it.
-[x] If he is not available (say, if he is currently in conversation with the diamyo) then seek out your friends instead. It is of course the case that nothing will have gone horribly wrong in your absence. Your companions are surely far to sensible for that sort of thing in a time as serious as this. Still... best to be certain.
-[x] Regardless, remain within the castle and in a place you can be found until Yasuki-sama says otherwise.
