Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yes. I was actually considering entering the avi arena either now, or holding off 'til mine evolved. I dig the stars. And the bottom part is nice, and it looks like smoke is really coming from your cig.

I noticed that too, CW.

And you better. We already have a Honda Tadakatsu and Ina to our Tokugawa Ieyasu. We need the Hattori Hanzo to complete the set.

Besides, Dover's last guy bit it, along with Mitsuyoshi.

Kenku stealth killed him in the middle of a fight with Hosen Ryufu, the half-oni warrior who killed Dover. Ral's character figure this out and determined a fast acting poison was what laid Mitsuyoshi low.

Yume saved your lord from trial by disguising herself as him so he could escape the battle and judgement at the hands of the Shoguns' army.

Yangis Tirr meanwhile raided the capital with flaming catapault stones and alchemist fire, setting a massive blaze that nearly burn the capital to the ground. He and his five tumens of Orcs were virtually unopposed in their attack and withdrawl, moving too swiftly for an organized response.

As your lord, Imokasa Sana, went into hidining, he charged Dover and Ral's characters with finding decent generals to lead his army (Specifically stating his army needed arms, legs, a body and mind before it would be of any use).

The two decided to search for these generals while trying to rescue Yume, finding and recruiting a Yamabushi strategist, a lost Roman Engineer, and a Half Oni Bandit queen along the way.

They located the camp where Yume was being held and through magic divined where she was captured. utilizing a night raid spearheaded by Dover and the Bandit Queen, Ral and the Yamabushi stole into the camp and teleported Yume to safety, soundly defeating 25,000 shogunate troops with an army of only a 1000.

Enroute back to Soryu province, the band passed through Toma Village, (Yume's home town and the sight of Mitsuyoshi's first grave). Visiting the grave, she divined a method to release him from his curse, requiring several exoic spell components for a powerful spell. The Heroes are now in the process of collecting these components.

Any questions?

Guess who's his inspiration.

Edit:Correct. Thus it fits well with Yume as "Ina" what with her bow work, and you as Hanzo. Though your lord is a little skinny and gay for him to be a passable Ieyasu.

Yes they did. They're level 10.
I already know what you were doing. With the discovery of Kenku Shinobi on the prowl and with goverment authorities seeking your lord, he needed protection from his shadowy bodyguards more than ever.
When things calm down, he's going to send you out to see what happened to his men, thus giving you an excuse to reunite with the heroes.

Thats easy.

Just imagine the following: all the world is a lethal test of your skills; the path to true enlightenment lies in mastery of body, mind, and soul; the Shadows are your shield, deception your weapon; Your lord has blessed your clan with prosperity and favor, thus absolute loyalty to him is a small price to pay even if it comes to the ultimate sacrifice.

My work here is done.

We should so do this sometime:
