The Iron Monkey (Kan Po (Witchdoctor))
Practical Paul is having his fruit salad in The Kraken Skulls with his Batacuda (which he named LockJaw) and his pet Fire Frog, Gutsy Gus. Kan Po then tapped his staff on his captain's shoulder and said "The flower returns to the root: as I begin my training at the feet of a Master, the time has come when I must be tested by a Master. We are far from Mooshu, but legends tell of Iron Monkey, a Monquistan who journeyed to Mooshu, became a monk and Master and returned. He will test me, if we can but find him. Ask the prior at St Bonobo's Abbey. Perhaps he can help us." Paul nodded and he gathered his crew and boarded The Brave Phoenix, before sailing to Monquista and St Bonobo's Abbey. After making dock, Paul and Kan Po walked on land and talked to Prior Andreo on the stone stage, who explains "The Iron Monkey? I knew him well, before he took that name. His is a sad story, one of our Order's greatest sorrows. *Prior Andreo offered to let Paul and Kan Po sit down, so they sat on the dirt as they are too big to sit on the seats* Brother Matteo was a legend. Blessed by the Holy Tree, he journeyed all the way to Mooshu, spreading the faith and making converts. He returned from Mooshu a changed monkey. Matteo renounced his vows, becoming a monk for some Sacred Cow in that far off land! He had a new name: Iron Monkey."
"When the Monquisiton came for him, Matteo defeated three dozen with his bare hands! He fled into the Vortex of Torment and never came out." Kan Po and Paul stood up and thanked Prior Andreo for the information before they boarded The Brave Phoenix and sailed for the Vortex of Torment near the Monquista City Drains, boarding on a dock within the vortex. Practical Paul and Kan Po proceeded to the shelter where they saw Iron Monkey meditating, as Iron Monkey said "At last you have found me. Tell Shunzang I still refuse. *Paul explains that he's not from Mooshu* What? You did not come from Subata? Why are you here?" Kan Po then stood forward and replied "Master, this Student comes before you to be tested." Iron Monkey rubbed his chin before saying "You wish to earn a Black Sash? Bring me some Bananas from the Ancient Ruins at the Isle of Doom." Kan Po then replied "As you wish, Master." He then bowed and he and Paul went back to the ship and sailed through the Stormgate and to the Isle of Doom, before docking and proceeded to the Ancient Ruins and collected 5 Banana Bunches before returning to the Vortex of Torment and gave the Banana Bunches to Iron Monkey, who said "Ah good. What lesson did you learn after collecting the Bananas?" Kan Po then replied "When one returns to places one has seen before and sees them with new eyes, that is how one finds Wisdom." Iron Monkey then smiled and said "Acceptable. I shall eat them later. You shall now be tested. Show me what you have learned. *Exclaims a battle yell*" During the battle test, Practical Paul weakened Iron Monkey's Critical Chance and used SoulReaver on Iron Monkey, poisoning him for two turns as Kan Po beaten Iron Monkey by leaping in the air and hit him with his staff and it spun in the air before Kan caught it and did a significant blow to Iron Monkey.
Iron Monkey then forfeited and said "Kan Po, you are a Student no more – I name you a Disciple. Continue your journey, and in time you will become a Master." Kan Po then replied "I am unworthy of this honor, but I humbly accept. Captain - my testing is done, for now. Let's go to a Tavern to celebrate!" Paul agreed and sailed to St Bonobo's Abbey and entered the cellar of the Dining Hall, as Kan Po came out from the shadows in his new uniform and said "Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. My word to you, Captain, is this: thanks. In time, I shall become a Master. But now, I must look to the present, where our journeys continue." Practical Paul nodded and he and Kan Po had some herbal tea in peace.
