>Nobody really knows where they are. Sometimes you can find them hanging around the tomb, though. Other times, they can be in town. But other times, they are nowhere to be found.

(Folks can feel free to overrule me on this, I'm mostly interested in checking if Tojiko is getting the same feeling. And hey, pursuit of the user-added quest might get us a traveling companion!)

(I have no interest in a romantic pursuit, and even if I did it wouldn't be right to steal Tojiko away from Shou anyway.)

> Okay, head to the tomb anyway, then. This shouldn't take very long.

>The tomb isn't that far away, this should take five minutes at most.
>You make your way past the buildings, and toward the graveyard. You're not certain how long this graveyard has been in use, but it's clearly old enough to have been neglected for awhile. You suspect there was probably a family who once maintained it, long ago, but since they've passed on it has been looked after sporadically at best. As you make your way toward it, the newer graves are still in fairly good condition and the grass is reasonably trimmed,  Further back, the markers become more dilapidated and the overgrowth more and more pronounced. Near the rear of the place is a small woods, you're not sure if it predates the cemetery or not, but that is where the tomb lies.
>Your eyes are drawn to a figure in red, leaning over one of the graves near the woods. You immediately recognize her as the wicked hermit's jiangshi. That will be a problem, she will certainly shout an alarm if she finds you or if you approach her the wrong way.

>It is difficult to tell from a distance, but she is fairly close to the woods, so there wouldn't be many.
>You can become a sort of translucent green, and somewhat intangible.

>Indefinitely, really. You generally don't, though, it's much more useful to be tangible.
>No.
>That is hard to say, the taoists are not easy to predict, and a jiangshi with a half rotten brain is harder still. But, according to stories you've heard, she can at least be pleasant, so it may be possible?

> Moving so that we are still facing the jiangshi's back, make our way over to a section of fence and casually lean up against it (with only the lower half of our body if necessary due to lacking height). Leaning up against a post would be preferable since they're likely to be sturdier. Keep our hands visible - if possible, use them to hold onto the fence to a small amount of our weight up.
> Call out to the jiangshi in a neutral tone.
> "Yo."
> If she turns to look at us, give her a short wave before returning our hand to wherever it was before.
