The Heroes begin their travel back to Leaping Frog, but are attacked by ghosts. The shades possess a few of them, and the Heroes only barely escape with their lives. They find sanctuary on a misterious hill, seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
Even stranger, when they awake from their night's rest, the hill appears to have "moved", reaching the vicinities of Leaping Frog. The Heroes go to report to Raging Wind, and then they retire to their inn. Chang is accidentally poisoned by eating a fruit meant for someone else (an elderly woman named Opal). Luckily, the Heroes find an alchemist that possesses the antidote.
Back with Raging Wind, she tells them that, if they wish to portect the Prince of Zhao, they need the approval of Lord Kiang Zao, a former minister of the Prince residing in Leaping Frog.
They request an audience with the Lord, and are granted a chance to prove their worth. Lord Zao's daughter, known for her rebellious attitude, has gone missing into town. If the Heroes can bring her back home, they will have earned Lord Zao's trust. They are given a description of the girl, and her name: Opal...
