May 6 102 P.A.
Oliver receives a magic pigeon response from Izen telling hive to meet tomorrow in the bar at the Techno Wizard exclusive hotel. Meanwhile, back on the mainland in the village Runick sits making leather armors from the demon hides.
The party, on Shikoku Island, is awakened by a knock at the door of the hotel room. After deliberating for a minute, Frank decides to open the door. A maid is standing on the other side, upset for being woken up Frank shots "Go Away!" and slams the door in her face. About 2 minutes later there is knock at the door, Frank again gets up to open the door. This time he sees a box on the floor. Immediately Frank put a Telekinetic Force Field around the box and uses his Telekinesis to open the box.
Inside the box there appears to be a jar and a letter. They inspect the contents of the box up close. The letter is addressed to Takeo and reads, "My friend, I am so glad to see you have returned safe and unharmed. I hope you were successful in acquiring my item. I will meet you at the bar down the street from your hotel. Enclosed you will find a gift to help you on you travels. Your friend, Crowley." When Takeo takes the jar out of the box he sees a fairy that appears to be weak and near death inside of it. Immediately Takeo wants to free the fairy.
However, he is talked out of it by Oliver who understands TW items and explains that they may inadvertently kill the fairy. They agree to find someone that could free the fairy later. Frank asks to see the jar, when he grabs it he senses the magic energy emitted by it. He begins to feed off of the magic energy and fairy begins to shriek in agony. Takeo snatches the jar from Frank, and Frank halfheartedly apologizes. Takeo attempts to talk to the fairy but it seems they can't hear each other. Trevor uses his mirror of true seeing to see the party, and seeing a twinge of evil from Frank. The party decides to leave the hotel and go meet Izen.

On the way out of the room they see the maid from earlier. Trevor pulls out the mirror of true seeing and uses it to look at the maid. As he gazes upon the true form of a Harpie Trevor shouts his new discovery to the rest of the party. Frank, Takeo, and Oliver sense magic and see it coming from a ring with a black pearl, on the maids hand. A battle ensues and the hotel hallway catches fire, and they manage to cave the floor in for 5 stories below. After killing the harpie Frank air walks across the divide and retrieves the ring. The party flee in the midst of the chaos.
Takeo asks to borrow the mirror of true seeing from Trevor and goes to meet Crowley at the bar. When he arrives he goes to the bar, has a seat and orders a drink. When he takes a sip and put his glass down, Crowley is sitting in the bar stool next to him. Takeo gives Crowley the Millennium Tree Leaf and tells him this makes him good on the deal they made, the compulsion leaves Takeo. Crowley asks if they managed to drop all of the magic barriers between hear and the Millennium Tree. Takeo tells him that they managed without doing so. Crowley looks disappointed, then says, "Well you've made good on your end of the deal."
Takeo reaches for the mirror of true seeing in his pocket and secretively attempts to use it while hiding it along side his leg. He averts his eye toward the mirror, and sees only an empty bar stool. When he looks back at Crowley, he sees only an empty bar stool. Crowley has vanished.
After Takeo's meeting with the mysterious Crowley, they go to the Continental Hotel. Izen is awaiting Oliver and they all get in the vehicle and drive back to the dock to board a ship back to the mainland. On the way back Kreesh decides to swim along the ship. They all return to the village in the 5th ring, and find Runick has made several leather armors and cloaks from the demon hide, giving it a resistance to fire. Trevor, Oliver and Kreesh work together to fix the Frank's crashed hover vehicle. When it is done they travel back to the top of the mountain to the passage through the 3rd ring barrier. The passage through the magic barrier is to small for the hover APC to fit. Everyone disembarks and changes into the robes that they bought. Then they head through the barrier and toward the town in which the had fled with the help of the samurai.
As they approach the city Oliver, Takeo, and Trevor encounter some lawmen. Takeo instigates a battle and the lawmen are killed. Takeo feels a void in his connection to his new swords begin to form, as if they disagree with what he did. After the battle the rest of the party comes out of hiding, and Kreesh and Frank go into the city to find the samurai. They manage to set up a meeting with Virgil the lead samurai. The party meets and the samurai tell them they managed to save the wagon the party had left behind. The wagon and equipment stored in the hidden compartment are returned to the party. They get information as to where the Shogun's Palace for this ring is and they set off for it.

As the party travels along a leyline. As they come upon the Shogun's Palace they see a platoon of demons marching into a large rift leading to the Astral Plane. After a short while the majority of the demon troops disappeared into the misty realm and rift closes. The party looks upon the sight in horror.
