Battle of the Tidal Landbridge

While a sizeable force of Shadowlands creatures attack the Crab Clan elsewhere a smaller group of creatures led by the cunning Oni no Kinjiro attack the sparsley defended watchtower near Earthquake Fish Bay.

The Crab defending it are doomed despite their commanders battle prowess, but when all seems lost the Daidoji Daimyo Daidoji Masashigi and his guards cross the landbridge and engage the oni. They are last seen fighting as the waves rise up around them with high tide.

The Crab look for survivors, but none are found. The only evidence of the battle is the battered helmet of Masashigi, found washed up on the shore.

The Crab build a shrine to the valiant hero and since then the Crab have had close relations with the "Iron Crane" Daidoji.
