The Crew
From Dragon
A group of criminals led by a rogue Imperial Inspector named River Ford. First encountered in Three Ring Yoshi.
Members:
- River Ford -- the Mastermind
- Sho Fi -- the Femme Fatale
- Paoku - the Thief (female)
- Hadisen - the Bureaucrat (Spider aspect; male)
- Sipensai - the Fighter (male)
The group has some kind of loyalty shtick. They are fourth level and have been hovering there for a while; they are looking for the Big Job which will make them a Master Group.
When Takanata read Ford's I Ching, he got a reading for the whole group. They are well-suited for capers in the material world; if they deal with the World Above, etc, it will go badly for them. When they become a Master Group, they'll be particularly effective.
They have probably become a Master Group now, after retrieving Li Kao.
