Field notes
Maggie's grandfather. Watched the Central Pacific cross two deserts on the backs of his countrymen. Speaks little English by choice. "I watch. I remember. That is enough." Hands permanently wrinkled from lye and age.
What you are walking into
Old Mister Yao is level 8, carries 110 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It fights straightforwardly, which makes it a clean read on whether your current build actually works. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Old Mister Yao plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Old Mister Yao
Old Mister Yao is encountered at Red Gulch - Chinese Laundry. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination.
