From Puttering before All My Fault

  • "Spider" is actually a demon wearing a spirit's skin.
  • Spider is spending most-to-all of his demonic power to keep the Great Cycle Spirits (and possibly other spirits) from realizing that.
  • We know this about Spider because of a vision we got through Butterfly's intervention.
  • Butterfly is a Great Cycle Spirit.
  • Butterfly knows Spider is really a demon.
  • Butterfly cannot know Spider is really a demon until Spider's demonic power is distracted.

  • The Marked Thief took the Magpie Talisman as his thwackback when he was defeated.
  • The Talisman went to Spider's realm.
  • The Talisman cannot stay in Spider's realm long.
  • Spider will send the Talisman to his best ritualist, The Alchemist.
  • Spider will send the Talisman to his best martial artist, Tai Lung.
  • Spider will cut a deal with Magpie to return the Talisman to a place of Magpie's choosing.

  • The Forest of Chin is the country tied to Monkey.
  • Spider is a Demon trying to replace Dragon in and above the Cycle.
  • Some of the Great Spirits are helping Spider closely.
  • Monkey is a trickster and resented Dragons rules (the "s" is added).

From Puttering between Travelling Without the Butterfly Prince and Hidden City: Outer Ring

  • There are six candidates for Commander of the North East, 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, and 2C.
  • The "1" candidates served locally under Lo Ping, the "2" candidates are from other regions of the Empire.

From Puttering between Hidden City: Outer Ring and Hidden City: Inner Ring

  • The Northern Wall has taken spiritual damage near the border between the Arcade and the Steppes over a period of years which allows the Barbarians greater access to the Empire and will require spiritual intervention to repair.
  • The Northern Wall took significant additional damage on the last day of the year.
  • The additional damage was "Architectural" in nature.
  • The additional damage was not simply the damage from the storm that Commander Mushashi has been informed of.

You fuss about this one for a while, and eventually cross out "not" and draw some lighter squiggles over "simply".

  • The additional damage can be repaired physically, but has not yet been discovered.

You cross out "discovered". Then you draw some unhappy doodles around "can".
