@ Village Center:
The man would frown slightly. "Mmmostly. There was a local Crab magistrate that was snooping around about a week ago, but I... dispatched her, if you get my meaning." The man would give a toothy smile, that seemed... almost out of place.
"Beyond that, it's been local riff-raff. But the Scorpion ninja that I arrived with are keeping them at bay. If you brought more soldiers, then we can finally put an end to them once and for all!" He would pound one fist into another open palm, indicating his sincerity of martial conquest. "I was just coming to greet you. I thought I heard our troops arriving. It must have been a large detachment, from all the noise they were making..."
In addition to your responses, please give me Intelligence/ Lore: Scorpion Clan, or Know the School: Scorpion, or Underworld, or Bushido, or Investigation, or Etiquette. TN 15.
@ Heraldry roll: Kojiro has no idea who this is. He doesn't even have a name to go by. No clue. He can attempt the roll again once he has this person's name.

@ Village Center:
@ Etiquette Rolls: Open admittance of murder? Military conquest? And possibly most importantly, Scorpion ninja?! None of these things fit what one would hear out of a Scorpion samurai.
The Scorpion would frown, then shrug. "That is quite unfortunate. I assume that our Clan's conquests have spread our forces thin, but a sword is a sword, even if the mind is dulled. We'll take what reinforcements we can get, brother. I'll give the orders to my men, though I am sure they are already on the case."
Placing his hands on his hips somewhat dramatically, he would then begin delegation. "As the warlord in charge of securing this region, I suggest putting the bushi on defense immediately, to bolster our lines. Come the morning shift, they can be relieved and will be allowed to rest up. If possible, I would prefer to speak with whomever is in charge in private to iron out the finer details." 21 on his Courtier (Political Maneuvering) to try to make this happen.
He would turn aside and gesture back to the house which he formally occupied, the door still ajar. What do you do? What DO you do?
--------------------
@ Kagae, by himself:
As Kagae begins wandering around, looking for the Scorpions, he would hear someone clear their throat behind him. "Hello there, stranger. What brings you around these parts?" If Kagae turned around, he would find a young woman, not much older than he, with medium-length loose red hair and a playful flirty smirk on her red lips staring at him. Her eyes traveled down and back up, and she bit her lower lip as she sized him up.
"You must be dying in all that armor. I'm one of the hired hands the Crab sent to help hold this village, but it's awfully boring all the way out here. I thought you were a bandit or some marauding Lion in search of a fight, but I'm glad I was wrong. I'm about to be relieved from my watch any time now; do you want to join me and make yourself comfortable? It's felt like ages since I've had some quality company." 16 on her Courtier (Manipulation) and 26 on her Deceit (Seduction) roll! She's giving you that wanton look that only a woman can pull off...
(Reminder: Seduction is resisted by Awareness/Etiquette (Sincerity). Add your honor rank to each die when resisting.)
--------------------
@ Everyone else:
Hang tight. We'll know your fate after the next round of posts, it looks like.

GM's notes: Kojiro: -1k0 earth/water. Denbe: -1k0 earth/void. Kagae: None Seichiro: -1k0 earth/void. Zanzen: -1k0 earth/water. Kyumi: -1k0 fire/void. Hisashi:None Miyako: None --------------------
@ Miyako and the Scorpion?:
Before Kojiro goes, he slips a small sliver of green stone in Miyako's obi, just in case. The mystery Scorpion does not seem to take notice of this.
Miyako would step through the door of the headman's hut, the mystery man pausing to give Kojiro a look reaching for the sliding door. After a Raw Awareness roll, an Awareness/Investigation (Interrogation) vs TN 15 (his result) will give Kojiro the impression that he means no harm.
Then the door would close.
Turning to face Miyako, the man would wait a few moments in silence, as if waiting for something, though not from Miyako. Then, he would reach to his left side, for his daisho...
And unbind them from his obi. Kneeling before Miyako, he would place them on the ground before her, saying lowly, "Kill me if you must; I will not fault you for it. But please, there are two ashigaru in Kuda Mura working as my associates. Their contribution to my cause was made due to pressure, and they should not be made to suffer for my indiscretions, Shosuro-sama. It is my one request."
Miyako, give me a TN 15 Perception/Investigation (Notice) check!
--------------------
@ Kagae and the Scorpion?:
The girl would frown a bit, before slinking a bit closer to Kagae. "I know it doesn't help my cause any, but I have no idea why that thing's even there. It was Bayushi Sanzo's idea. He's the envoy from the Scorpion that's currently residing in this village. I don't know what he has to gain from doing so, but you know how Scorpion are. Still, he must have gotten permission from someone important."
She would smile, almost beam, as Kagae introduced himself. "You can call me Ginko. Though, if you're handsome under that helmet, you can call me whatever you want..." She would stride forward, delicately as a woman would, despite the katana at her side, indicating her warrior training. She would press her palms against Kagae's cooling armor, sliding them up as her eyes met his. She would let her hands guide themselves to the shikoro of his helm, pausing for his consent before she would try to remove it.
Courtier of 13 to encourage his approval with those big brown eyes of hers.
--------------------
@ Everyone else and the Scorpion?:
Denbe! Zanzen! Hisashi! Kojiro comes back, and seems to have misplaced his charge.

GM's notes: Kojiro: -1k0 earth/water. Denbe: -1k0 earth/void. Kagae: None Seichiro: -1k0 earth/void. Zanzen: -1k0 earth/water. Kyumi: -1k0 fire/void. Hisashi:None Miyako: None --------------------
@ Miyako and the Scorpion?:
The man would shake his head a bit, unsure how to answer. "Kufu and Jotaro ran? You mean..."
Suddenly, a proverbial lantern seemed to light above his head.
"So the Scorpion didn't send you to kill me!" He tensed, looking longingly at his sword which he apparently foolishly disarmed himself of. It WAS in arm's reach...
There was an awkward pause.
But he instead decided to scramble to his feet and back away. "Okay, this... this actually looks a lot worse than it is. My name is... was Yasuki Iwao. It's just Iwao now. I borrowed the name Bayushi Sanzo to help save this village - I truly did not mean any disrespect to the Scorpion." He paused once, glancing down at his daisho. "Truthfully, I would be more comfortable with my sword in my possession. May I reclaim it?"
Regardless of Miyako's answer, he would speak a bit more. "I hope Kufu and Jotaro are still well. They really had no say in this, and I forced them to keep silent on my dealings here. But beyond that, I assure you, I'm acting alone in this village."
--------------------
@ Kagae and Ginko:
Kagae! I would normally call for an Intelligence/Lore: Bushido roll, but...
As Ginko lifted the helm from Kagae's head, she would smile. "You're not a wreck under there. Good. We can DEFINITELY work with that."
Leaning in close to Kagae, she would casually disgard his helm, dropping it to the dirt at their feet. "As for my family, you might have heard of us. I come from the Family of Hard Knocks."
With a coy smile, she would suddenly step back, and *CRACK!*
Kagae would definitely hear the branch breaking from the force of the impact against the back of his skull, but for the life of him, he didn't feel any pain. Or ANYTHING for that matter. The moon seemed to vanish, as if Lady Moon was swallowed by an Eclipse, and Kagae would float freely in a sea of blackness.
--------------------
@ Everyone Else:
By the time you start heading back to the house where Miyako was left at, one of you stumble upon a metallic rock in the ground. Upon examination in the moonlight, you recognize it to be the helmet of Kaiu Kagae. A broken branch nearly as thick as a forearm lay nearby, but otherwise, there is no sign of your companion.
