Mutiny at the Monastery

The PC's after returning from getting the medicine learn that a dozen or so survivors have arrived during

the time they were gone. These survivors are ex-soldiers, and at once sparks start to fly between them andthe monks and other survivors.

There are only 47 survivors after the disease has subsided. The total is 59, after the dozenhave been accounted for. Maybe 63 if the PC's have rescued the followers of Succatash.

There is Mu Bai, Hu Li, Shen (Middle Aged Female Monk 1 / Fighter 1), Lung (Middle AgedMale Ranger 1 / Fighter), and Yu (Old Male Druid 1 / Fighter 1). There are also 10 survivingmembers of the monastery. The warriors are Bo (Old Male 3), Tsu (Middle Aged Female 2),Fuu (Adventuring age Female 2), and Jin (Adventuring age Male 1). The Experts that werespared by the plague are Mog (Young Male Carpenter Expert 1) and Wen (Young Male SmithExpert 1). Four devoted have also survived: Bing (Male Middle Aged) Commoner 4, Mooy(Female young, commoner 2), Rose (Young Female Commoner 1), and Peng (Young MaleCommoner 1).

Among the survivors are 15 children, age 4-10. In addition to 3 newborn babes who nevercry*.

There are the 5 PC's. The survivors are mostly mountain folk, slaves, and a few deserters andthey resent being cooped up in the monastery, having their food rationed (they are convincedof secret stores in the monastery basements ...), being woken at dawn, being drawn for nightwatch, etc, etc. The monks have 30 in total, which includes the children.

2 sentries are assigned to walk the walls in 4 hour shifts. The monks wake everyone at dawn,and break fast in the Hall of the monastery. The head monks assign different groups ofsurvivors to different duties such as foraging, scouting, hunting, fixing items, or assisting themonks with their duties. The monks then do a couple hours of arms practice, and lunch iscalled. After lunch, the monks not chosen for guard duty retire for meditation for a few hours.

After dinner, the monks take turns playing a shamisen and a flute. Any not on guard duty areinvited to listen.

When the monks come to wake you at dawn, they resist waking up.

They complain about the meals, and the rationed portion sizes. The temple cook succumbed to thedisease, so the meals aren't great. A few begin to eye Ook Ook's goat.

When they return from hunting or foraging duty, they bring back nothing.

They balk at being sent on foraging missions and disrupt the monks' daily exercises

They are rude when the evening music is practiced.

A few days of this persist unless the PC's take action. Then, on the third evening, none of the new

survivors show up for music after dinner, Wisdom DC 10 to notice their absence. They have concocted aplan to slay the monks and take control of the monastery. A half-hour into the music session the PC's can

make listen checks DC 25, with a -4 penalty because there is music to hear the mutineers getting into

position on top of monastery buildings. PC's now make spot checks if they can, DC 25. The rebels beginby hurling thunderstones at the monks and the audience, Fort DC 15 or deafened for 1 hour, -4 initiative.

Afterwards, they throw tanglefoot bags at the PC's and the monks and begin firing crossbows. The higher

level rebels (Rogue 2 / Fighter 2) of which there are two, attack from rooftop, as do their seconds (Rogue

1 / Fighter 2) of which there are also two. Of the 8 remaining, 2 have been dispatched to deal with

whoever is on guard duty, 2 have gone to the main gate, and 4 have been instructed to wait for the signal

which is a thunderstone before launching crossbow bolts.
