Episode 7: Taku, Tech, Toys and T.P.

While Toji remains in Shimoni Dhato to coordinate logistics and supplies, Dharma recruits Jang Tae to go to Taku and see if they can rescue or recruit resistance members from the besieged city. Jang Tae agrees, if Dharma agrees to take any advantage to impede the Fire Nation encampment.

Moshi and Shizaku also remain in camp, awaiting assistance with their possible spirit problem....

In Taku:

Dharma and Jang Tae sneak through the Fire Nation camp, even taking advantage of a poorly-guarded weapon and armor stash. They take weapons they can carry to bring to the fighters in Taku.They meet Harano, the main commander of Taku's soldiers. Dharma negotiates that if he can bring help back to Shimoni Dhato, they can return to Taku to take on Captain Okuru's forces. Harano mentions a seedy merchant named Obi they could utilize to open some supply routes, as well as an information broker name Nupiq.   

Dharma overextends his reliance on others to plead with Obi that by joining Neila's camp, Obi can expand his supply chain and assist not just Taku, but others under the approaching boots of the Fire Nation. Obi agrees. Nupiq, however, doesn't want to immediately abandon Taku, and his hesitant to join.

While tracing their steps back to home, Dharma and Jang Tae are almost caught, but they escape.

In Camp:

Moshi, meanwhile, greets the arrival of his Misty Library comrade, a Waterbender named Yina. Moshi remembers training and going relic-hunting under Yina's guidance, and his elder chastises him for letting Jyoti's relics leave his care. Moshi stands his ground, defending the decision to not risk the Air Nomad's reliquary being discovered or taken while he and his comrades fled the Fire Nation Army. He is no longer afraid of his misstep in excavating the mountain, but understanding his agency in how he operates for the Misty Library.

Shizaku, in the meantime, begins work on his land-strider device, engaged in developing his "stolen" engine to assist in resistance movement. 

 Moshi, Yina, and Jyoti pore through the Air Nomad reliquary and uncover the root of the journals, belonging to the Air Nomad guru Tribhuvan. He spoke of three joined worlds (the Four Nations, the Spirit World, and a Third World) and learn that a dragon named Horu once occupied the area around Makapu. Horu was hunted by General Yama when Sozin began the Dragon Hunts out of pride and lust for power. Yina mentions it looks like there's a ritual wherein they could bond through the memories of Horu and treat with the dragon's spirit. Moshi agrees, but thinks it prudent to await the return of his comrades.

Once Dharma and Jang Tae return from Taku, Moshi informs of them of the dilemma, and he and Yina agree to look into Horu's troubled spirit. They descend into the cold maw of the mountain.
