Here's a quick and dirty summary of what's gone on in 
parts 1-3 of TIGER CLAW.  They are located on my webpage at:

What has gone on previously:

	Part 1: It was just another spring day at the Tendo Dojo.  Kuno
and Ryoga show up to challenge Ranma in front of all his fiancees AND
his mother.  However, the night before, Kuno and Ryoga each received a
mysterious female visitor bearing nasty rumors, magical gifts, and
promises of victory.  The next day, it becomes painfully clear that
Kuno and Ryoga are just pawns in someone's game.  It is even more
clear that this mastermind knows a great deal about Ranma and his
acquaintances, particularly their respective strengths and weaknesses.
 Kuno's and Ryoga's challenge turns unexpectedly nasty as a sorceress
called Yonoko begins to weave her shapeshifting spells.  Between black
magic and the Neko-ken, the duel quickly becomes bloodier and much
more violent than anyone could have possibly imagined.  

	Part 2: Ryoga and Kuno are packed off to the hospital.  While
Akane has her hands full with a feral Ranma, Nabiki does her best to
sort out the chaos of the morning's battle.  Several serious
confrontations occur between various parties.  Wife against husband. 
Mother against son.  Fiancee against fiancee.  Some people manage to
accept what's happened to Ranma.  Unfortunately, others are in severe
denial.  Nabiki and Ranma have an emotional and surprisingly candid
discussion about the current situation.  

	Part 3:  The true scope of Ebon's plans for Ranma become
frighteningly clear.  In the meantime, Shampoo and Ukyo both have a
great deal of thinking to do about their respective relationships with
Ranma.  Shampoo has even more trouble waiting for her -- a vicious,
renegade Amazon cousin who 'conveniently' decides to visit Nerima at
this particular time.  Nabiki warns Akane about her bad habits
regarding Ranma.  As evening falls, Ranma undergoes some obvious --
and some not so obvious -- changes as the darkness of night brings
storm, fire, and mayhem for more than one person.
