Shintaro gives the order for the men to move in and set up. Camp would be made around the tower, this time they could make it permanent. Today the camp would be tents, but in a few days time it could be fortified with walls. He himself would step into the tower with a party of soldiers who would go through assessing the situation of the tower.
"Hm, this will do for our first base of operations." He sends new orders through the troops, "Station archers and anyone with a keen eye to the upper levels, with our vantage point we'll see any hostile forces approaching."
Upon further inspection of the tower he would send orders for a party to go to the nearby forest to collect lumber to use for repairing the tower.

So that was it, then. The army was coming in and they had a potential threat this close - practically under their pillow, so to speak. This didn't sit well with the kunoichi, not at all. But at least they had free reign to look into the matter and with that option open, she damn well was going to take it. She just hoped that whatever was down there was an animal - a wild creature could be manipulated or killed for resources. Any mythical beast or sentient monster... that could lead to issue in handling the situation.
Assuming neither one blocked her, she would move past the pair of them without a word and towards the mouth of the descending cave tunnels, to drop in and start her climb down.

So, they were to secure the watchtower and make a more permanent and defensible position. As for immediate tasks, he found himself more willing to assist in gathering wood. He could carry larger amounts and not tire, making the construction of a palisade or even wall go smoothly.

Physical Description: A seven feet tall suit of armor, animated to move and behave almost human. The void between the individual pieces of armor testifies to the fact that there is indeed nothing holding the armor in place. There is but thin air behind the dark slits in its helmet.
A massive long sword dangles from the waist of The Watcher, engraved with numbers. In its hand is a staff which appears to be made of metal.

The Watcher immediately began gathering wood. The treeline wasn't all too far from the watchtower. The Watcher approached a 20 foot tree and wrapped his metallic arms around it. The wood crackled, a horrible sound rang out in the forest as The Watcher with ease pulled it up with its roots. The Watcher placed the tree on the ground, only to start pulling the massive log towards the camp by its roots. The earth was pulled up as The Watcher pulled the several hundred kilo's heavy tree towards the watchtower. The Watcher let go of the tree near the camp and turned to continue his shameless uprooting of the nearby forest. |

Heaving a sigh he Jou nodded his assent. He preferred to stand on the side of caution, but if Nishida-Sama wished for it be handled he would oblige. Blocking the exit from the tower would have forced the creature out into the village, it may have been a boon. Still gather magic he blended into the shadows. With Kasumi he made his way towards the cavern where the beast was likely making it's home.

As the trio of ninja descended further toward the cavern there would be more bones of small animals and some solid pieces of armor laying around. When you finally came into the cavern, you could make out a building of sorts nearby and what looks like a forge on the opposite side of the cave. The cavern isn't lit very brightly as the glowing insects aren't collected in a way that would illuminate the entire chamber properly. There are a some mounted, unlit torches along the cavern walls.
There is a clattering somewhere in the chamber, along with some grunts and groans. Something was moving things around.

Kasumi Okamoto

Roleplay posts: 160 
Age: 23
Physical Description: As most women of Katashima are, Kasumi is not terribly tall, and stands at an unimpressive 5'4". She has skin that is considered of average coloration for her people, slightly darker than that of non-Katashimans, and is of a slender build, with delicate features. Her eyes are almond-shaped, and are brown, although the exact hue changes with her emotions, ranging from dark to light and often flecked or streaked with gold; her hair, though often kept up and out of her way, falls to just past her shoulders, and is a sleek, glossy black. Though she appears weak and not at all like one would expect a combatant to be, she is muscular enough to do her job, and do it well.
----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Kasumi wears an outfit that is both comfortable and easy to move in. This consists of a sleeveless, midriff-baring black shirt that gapes open at the sides, revealing the bandages wound around her bosom, on her top half; around her neck rests a loose drape of black cloth that can be pulled up to obscure the lower portion of her face. On her lower half she wears a pair of loose black pants that come to just below her knees, with slits at the hips, and held up by a belt, at the back of which are the sheaths that hold her two tanto, her favored weapons. Rounding off the ensemble is a pair of black sandals, the straps of which wrap up her calves to tie just below the bottom of her pants, and a set of fingerless gloves that stretch up to above her elbow, on top of which she wears sturdy steel gauntlets. Aside from the obvious pair of swords, she also keeps a number of shuriken and kunai in her belt pouches, along with small glass spheres filled with various poisonous substances.

Kasumi watched Ketsueki depart, then joined Jou in proceeding toward the cavern that was likely inhabited by whatever had left behind those bones. There were sounds up ahead, which didn't bode well.. and she still couldn't feel anything in the shadows. That sent a chill up her spine. She began gathering magic in her palms, ready to work with Jou and flood the cavern with fire, if need be. The pair moved along silently, near unto each other, creeping along with the ease of familiarity and long years of practice in doing this very thing.

It was hard to pin point locations by sound in a cave. Still it wasn't that hard to figure out where the creature was. All that was left was flushing it out and taking it out. Gathering up more power he whispers to Akiyama-San.
"Do you think you can get it out into the open and clear in time. Kasumi and I should be able to finish it from there."

Ketsueki exhales slowly, and brings herself down to one knee with hands coming together carefully before her at about level to her stomach. "I can do you better than that, Okamoto-san," she mutters softly, easing her eyes shut in a meditative state.
Her fingers work slowly into a number of signs - parts of the nine "cutting" fingers. After a number of these seals formed, she makes the final one and holds it fast. "Hebi no me." Her eyes snap wide open, and her vision warps. Now she isn't seeing the darkness. Rather, she sees the cold stone, the cool construct of the forge, and everything shaped in this cavern. What it is she seeks? A heartbeat and heat source. This would give her some insight to where and what they were dealing with, by tracking down the size of the signature and how fast the heart was pacing. She just had to find it before she blinked or the jutsu was lost.
If she could find it out, all she would have to do is break the seal and move her hand to point it out - giving the magically attuned shinobi the place to launch their attack.

There was a minor heat resonating form the forge, the coals that haven't been lit in a long time. But elsewhere behind the building you would locate the heart beat you seek, it was erratic. Whatever it was may be aware of the shinobi presence.

Crouching, she watched Ketsueki closely as the other kunoichi did her thing, her innate shadow magic making it easy for her to see in this darkness; it wasn't quite as bright as day in there to Kasumi, but no doubt she could see with better clarity than the other two could. When the other woman pointed, she drew her arms up with hands pulled close to her chest, magic whirling wildly in her palms and prepared to lash out at the proper moment when Jou threw his fire. She also prepared tendrils of shadow, intended to form a cage and trap whatever it was that the other female was pointing at.

Jou debated which spell combination to use. They new where the creature was, but not what it was. Simply lashing out with all they had might not be effective. He settled on a tactic that would light the area and perhaps draw it into the open. He released a portion of his stored power to send a stream of flame across the ceiling. Soon the area was bathed in glowing fire light that he could drop onto the floor to burn persistently.

"UUUAAAAA!!!" The things wailed, it appeared to be a decrepit man covered in blood and had long hair and beard. He had a crazed look in his eyes. This man was hermit who'd been living in this cave since the Fareen soldiers moved out of the place, he used to be a soldier himself, hence the armor found laying on the ground. The Hermit looked to be maybe 70-80 years old, maybe more.
With a large source of light now you could tell the building opposite the forge was a granary, which had provided the Hermit with food for many years.

Her gaze narrowed to thin slits as the cavern was lit up, and revealed... a wild old man. This still didn't sit well with her. The hermit looked about mad, and was covered in blood. Her thoughts flicked out momentarily to the fresh kill outside the tunnel exit. Was this man responsible for that? If so, he was still a threat - regardless of what his past might have held. The armor was noted... but what had become of this now?

The cage of shadowy tendrils snapped into place the moment she heard that sound, but she didn't release her wind. Instead, she crouched there, silent and bewildered. A.. man? Could it be he who left the bones there? Uncertain of how to proceed, she remained silent and poised with magic ready to act at any moment.

"... I don't like this," she murmurs softly, remaining crouched low to the ground and watching the spry old man swing a barbaric club at the shadow threads attempting to bind him. "I would venture a guess this man has gone mad... but even then - if this man is the reason the bandits haven't taken the tower, I would expect he is not normal.
"This is your call," she hisses softly, turning her head to glance at Kasumi and Jou respectively. "Mine would be to give him a swift death before something comes to light."

"I can't say I disagree Akiyama-San. Still a single solitary target, my inclination would be to question him first. If he proves in capable of talk I will drop the fire on him."
Jou voice is level and low. He gather up more magical power as he considers his options. He hopes he gets to do some actual shinobi work down the line. So far the assignments they had been give all ended in distinctly un-stealthy ways. Well outside of the ones that involved spying on their own comrades. Throwing his voice he speaks to the old man, he sounds not entirely hostile, but not friendly either.

The cage of tendrils held fast, darkness given solid form by the force of Kasumi's will. She remained as she was, her eyes fixed on the target, while Jou attempted to question him. Not much else she could do, really; she was keeping him imprisoned, with wind ready to distract or otherwise topple him upon unfavorable reaction or word from Jou.
