history
Yang Xiao Long stops to fuel up Bumblebee and get some water. She punches out a drunkard who hits on her, and tells the bartender that she is looking for someone. He warns her that the only significant person nearby is Raven Branwen, and that she does not want to get mixed up with bandits. The drunkard overhears this from outside, and confronts Yang on this before she can depart.

The Shady Man brings Yang Xiao Long into the forest, but his intention was an ambush by a small assembly of bandits from the Branwen Tribe. Yang easily defeats them.
