"How have they been killed? Are all the deaths from the same causes?" Dai asks.

Matsu Niko scratches her chin and says, "Whomever is behind this is definitely unwise. So the going theory is that the Scorpions are behind this? Typical. Well is there anything else we should be made aware of before setting off?"

"How have they been killed? Are all the deaths from the same causes?" Dai asks.

"No," explains the aid. "One has died by poison, another had a hand cut off, and another was stabbed through the heart."

Matsu Niko scratches her chin and says, "Whomever is behind this is definitely unwise. So the going theory is that the Scorpions are behind this? Typical. Well is there anything else we should be made aware of before setting off?"

"We think the Scorpions did it, but Kachiko has denied it," said the aid.

Niko smirks, "Well, we need to get to the bottom of this."

Niko smirks, "Well, we need to get to the bottom of this."

"You will be meeting with Akodo Toturi," said the aid. He gives you two dockets with the Lion Clan mon on them. "You will need these."

Dai will take the dockets and asks, "Are we expected by a certain time?"

Dai will take the dockets and asks, "Are we expected by a certain time?"

"You are expected within a week," says the aide.

Matsu Niko says, Is there anything else pertinent we need to know?

If not, she will grab her things and get on the road.

"Yes, be careful of bandits!" the aide warns.

Dai nods and rises to leave.

The aide bows and shows you to his door.

Matsu Niko says, "Let's go. We will meet my family on the way."

Feel free to characterize Niko's parents how you want. Her mother is a pretty accomplished samurai on her own. Her father, you can make him whatever clan or family you want.

It takes you two days to reach Lion lands. So, do two perception checks or tests. This is to check for bandits or ronin bandits.

On day two of your journey, Matsu Niko has discovered signs of an ambush.

Can I ascertain how many adversaries there are and what kind? Are they bandits or are they samurai?

There are four bandits rather than Samurai.

How are they armed?

How are they armed?

With bows, wakisashi's, and bamboo armor.

Matsu Niko whispers, "How do you want to spring this trap? "

Dai gives a shrug and smile and says, []b]"Charge them down before they scatter."[/b]

The bandits try to attack you, Niko. They raise their swords and attack, hoping their numbers can overcome a lion's rage. Oh, and you critically wound one of them.
