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's eyes widened as Jou moved abruptly, and before she could get time to ask what he was doing, he began screaming. Panic welled within her as the kunoichi thrust her tanto back into their scabbards and looked down at Jou where he had just torn an arrow from his palm and was now grasping a bleeding appendage. Hastily pulling her facial covering down, she untied the length of fabric and wound it around Jou's hand, staunching the blood flow while she spoke to him in quiet tones.
"Baka! Come, we must get further away. Akiyama-san must make it out on her own." She began to lead him further away after wrapping the makeshift bandage around his hand, but that didn't stop her from reaching out to the moon shadows cast by the wall. Tendrils of darkness began to writhe and twist as they lurched upward, slamming into the walls. It was mostly just a scare tactic to frighten the soldiers and give Ketsueki a chance to escape.

The smoke from Ketsueki's little devices came in handy. The archers, of those that were left, could no longer see their targets and had to forgo any further volleys as the shinobi were already near the extent of their shortbow range. They are not well trained for long distance shots. As for the five man troop coming from the village, they could see that both Kasumi and Jou had not slowed down from the previous arrow barrage. These troops were too slow to catch up with the ninjas as they were, and opted to return to the village to start repairing the gate, followed by the damaged storehouses in the north.
Congratulations, you have successfully escaped Taloum with minimal injuries.

''God damn it who made this wagon?''
The road to Taloum wasn't easy. It was rocky and uneven; faciliating a lot of bouncing and whinging back and forth. It certainly didn't make transporting cargo easy. Human cargo included.
Courtesy of Shintaro, Caspain was supplied with a wagon filled with cheap, but real merchandise and a ''merchant'' to accompany them. Underneath the cargo was a hidden empty space, barred off at the top with the only entrance and exit point being from the bottom. just wide enough to accommodate a grown man. The assassin had been in worse places, but that didn't make the trip any more comforting.
It was then that the wagon stopped; and Caspain could hear the muffled shouts from above. ''Merchandise!'' shouted the merchant. There would no doubt be a routine inspection; and then perhaps admittance into the fort.

( Fareen Dimitri Not sure if you're still around, I want to go ahead and get the siege of Taloum done and be history instead of being something that's still being built up. I'm going to put a post below if you want to play it out, if you don't want to I'll make up what all happened.) The campaign in Fareen was nearing the final major battle against the bandits of the land. Having toppled the bandits forward outposts, the Ao Army marched to Taloum. After all their preparation they were ready to finally take the walled town. The army was escorting their new siege devices, 4 Glaive Launchers, to the battlefield. Each Launcher was spaced out evenly from one another so that they weren't clumped together and could cover a wider range and setup began while a message is sent to the town to inform those inside what was going on. The Army of Aozora has come to remove the faction controlling this
City from power. In order to protect the civilians we request you surrender.
Once the faction is dissolved, the people inside the town may remain in peace as Ao people.
The Aozora's drums pounded, challenging the bandits to come out and meet them either in battle or surrender. Aozora had the town boxed in, blocking the exit to the canyon with their formation with squads of archers positioned on top of the canyon itself. |

The battle for Taloum finally began, the last step toward Aozora becoming a professional army. While sieging the town, another operation was lead by Ram Jam to sieze the farmlands that provide for the town. When the bandits attempted to meet Aozora in battle many of their ranks were mowed down by the new contraptions Aozora had made, after one of the Glaive Launchers was aimed just right to kill many men with one shot the bandit faction made no more attempts to exit the town without dealing with the weapons. Thanks to devious planning the siege was slowed by destroying two of the Glaive launchers, but eventually resources of food and ammunition dwindled to the point where the walls could no longer be defended and the gate was finally breached.
It took time to navigate through and deactivate traps, but it was done. The remaining bandits were killed or taken prisoner. Many had died but Aozora came through victorious, those who survived had become stronger through the experience in battle. With control of the town, Aozora's range of influence had increased and even though innocent lives had been lost as well, this was ultimately for the better for the security of the region.
Over the next few months trials would be held, using information gathered from spies that had infiltrated the town months before. With Taloum now under occupation of Aozora, the quality of life would begin on the track of improvement. The Ao got to work fixing the damage to the town and establishing an infrastructure in Taloum. People may be unsure about Aozora because of the destructive power of their siege weapons, but so far things were better than before, they were treated as Ao people.
Unfortunately during the week-long siege, Aozora lost an important member of their society, Master Ming Yunxu. The former Katashiman general was a founding member of Aozora and a valuable counsel to the Marquis, his health was in decline but he insisted on going to one last battle. From the start of the battle he had been there guiding the officers, but as the days past his illness became worse and remained in bed for the rest of the siege. A physician was there with him, but it was his time to go. When he heard they had infiltrated the town, he sighed in relief and closed his eyes, knowing he didn't need to hold on any longer, his job was done.
