The bandits would make no return or attack on the village. In their minds, the deed had been accomplished, and all that was left was to enjoy their spoils. Their hideout was a few miles away, behind some hills, which hid the smoke from their campfires and blocked most of the sound from the encampment.
(OOC: Tag me when you guys actually leave the village to pursue them. I won't post again until then, but don't rush anything either. I've got a busy weekend so won't post until Sunday at some point.)

While the Kojiri (End of the scabbard) had a black bit of burned metal. The Tsuba (Guard) was an odd circular symbol of the Shibata clan. And the weapon's Tsuka is usually seen sticking out of his kimono, opposite his heart. A Katana with a red saya with a red katatemaki ito around the hilt is normally hanging tachi style (Edge facing the ground) from his obi.

Setoku merely nodded to Anzen before heading out to round up survivors. Most he treated on the spot, allowing them to go about their day collecting what goods they could from the raid. In truth, it was a grisly sight. Children, women, men, all manner of people hurt or dead - Still, why the survivors at all? Clearly these bandits lacked a clear understanding of collecting supplies.
"How sad..."
Setoku muttered to himself as he healed another, and had him escort his wife to Anzen. He wasn't remarking on the carnage though. The Samurai of this land were far different than his own. They cared much for the aspect of life, which ended up spawning a monster like Ashimura. Setoku sent only about five survivors to Anzen, he managed to heal the rest himself - His primary duty done, he would go to Takahashi's side.
"I've rescued who I could, and sent the rest to Anzen... Tell me, Takahashi-dono, from a standpoint of an ordinary man not out for vengeance... How hard will they be to find?"
Setoku needed an answer without the cloud of passions and judgement... But he feared he wouldn't get it here.
"And will we need to mobilize a very big force to retaliate?"

( Shinamori Setoku Anzen Hizashi ) Takahashi looked at Setoku with a wounded expression from the grave he was digging ... Giving his menpo a very strange twist. " The scouts say they are not far, and move slowly... Lumbering after a feast. We will mount to see exactly what awaits us and attack the moment we think we can remove this shame from our lands. " He said hollowly climbing out from the grave... it was too small to be an adults. " My heart wishes we could fall upon them quicker than arrows a blaze... but sadly the nature of our situation holds me firmly to reality.." " The scouts tell me they are north a few miles, a few hours most, We will not likely need more than we have here. It will be over quickly...far more quick than these ruffains deserve....and perhaps not all shall endure a quick demise by your sword... We must kill the weed at the root after all, not simply hack away .... but let us finish here Setoku-san..." Takahashi looked over the rest of the village. " How is Anzen-sama doing?" He asked. |

It would take Anzen a bit of time to evaluate and treat each adult and child that was sent her way. There were so many cuts, burns, and bruises that needed her attention. Anzen had brought a few of her own supplies with her just in case and she was forced to stretch them thinner than she liked in an effort to keep some of the herbs and ointments back should things take a turn for the worse.
By the time she managed to return to Takahashi and Setoku, her hands and face would be covered have a mixture of dirt, tears, sweat, and streaks of blood. Tucking her piece of bamboo back into her obi, she sighed and turned an exhausted gaze to the males after another glance behind her where a poor woman was wailing over a small, covered bundle. Anzen had not been able to do enough and the sadness darkened her eyes even when she looked away. The girl did not immediately speak upon her approach.

"Your heart is not wrong, Takahashi-kun... And while you may be rooted in duty and honor as any respectable Samurai..."
Setoku watched as Anzen slowly closed the gap between them, her work done. And a sad smile touched his lips.
"She's doing much better than I thought, but I am positive her heart is breaking, like your own."
Setoku looked back to Takahashi and his eyes reflected a heart break similar to his own, but for different reasons. The Hizashi had not dealt with Death like he had, this dynasty was much more stable than his own. Was he disappointed? No. He was proud of that fact, Genji had done well, but it made his warriors, and children, much more weaker to death. Once Anzen stood before them, Setoku smiled to her, than Takahashi.
"Honor bound to serve, respecting your elders wishes... I am not bound by such. Allow this humble Samurai to regain both of your honor, and revenge. All I need is thirty swordsmen, and not only will they die..."
Setoku looked down to the ground, flexing his fingers slowly, before looking back to Anzen. Her dirtied form left a bad taste in his mouth, this life wasn't for her, and Takahashi shouldn't be left with these thoughts in his mind.
"But Ashimaru shall beg at these graves for forgiveness before his death. This I can promise you."

( Shinamori Setoku @azenhizashi) Takahashi frowned a bit as Setoku left his statement unfinished, at least unfinished to him. His eyes swept over to the exhausted Aznen. "Setoku-san has reported you've done far better than we expected. Many people here will live because of your efforts here today." He said in a tone that offered a bit more praise than normal, but not enough to be considered sarcastic or patronizing. Upon Setoku's requested Takahashi started to laugh. He had done savage deeds in order to claim victory, and even more disgusting things to ensure it. " He will pay Setoku-san, of this I have no doubt. We will recover this villages honor in due time. I see you're chomping at the bit though..." The man crossed his arms while he thought. " If you truly wish to spear head this I have no qualms, but I have issue if you intent to throw my men's lives away in order to exact this revenge, this includes you Setoku-san. Let us wait for the scouts, then we will see how best to loose you upon them." He suggested... though from him it was clearly more a command. "Anzen-sama, how do you gauge your own effectiveness today?" He asked. |

"I would not throw lives away so callously, Takahashi-dono. I may not even need that many, consider it... An insurance."
Setoku watched Anzen carefully, waiting to gauge her reply. She needn't do this, this was not the life for her... And he needed her. She needed to gauge herself low, anything to leave - But he knew she wouldn't. And honestly, that was the only bitterness he truly held in all this. Perhaps his only fear, too.
"You are correct, though... Scouts can give us an idea of where to mobilize"
He answered, somewhat quietly. His eyes still on Anzen, reflecting worry. He did know one thing, though, this Ashimura would pay for the risk she was now in, and the worry it caused him. Of this, he knew. The torture would be... Amazing.

Anzen brought the dirtied sleeve of her kimono up to wipe at her cheek.. Seeing as she had been too occupied with the severe injuries she saw, she hadn't taken the time to tie them back. Oh well, it was cloth that could be cleaned - well worth the precious seconds it gave her to treat a life. Anzen's golden eyes momentarily lingered on Takahashi, a small strained but grateful smile tugged at her lips.
"I did the best I could, Takahashi-san.. the only life I did not save was a child who inhaled too much smoke.. I'm afraid her lungs burned too severely.." The girl only spoke when spoken directly to, her voice thin as if strained, but steady. "Unfortunately, I am not the miracle worker that I am needed to be just yet.."
Finally, her eyes would be turned to Setoku. Seeing the worry that his own eyes held, she gave him what she hoped would be a reassuring nod. He had much more important things to worry about than her mental stability as far as she was concerned. With that slight nod, she hoped to communicate all of this to him.
Unsure how to contribute to their conversation beyond the question asked of her, she returned to sadly watching the heartbroken mother, her own thoughts in a turbulent whirl while she attempted to listen to what they planned for the immediate future of the expedition. There was hope in her that she could do more still to be of use.. a way to make up for the one life she wasn't able to keep from slipping through her fingers.

( Shinamori Setoku Anzen Hizashi) Takahashi took note of Setoku’s answer, and the interaction between him and Anzen… He might do Genji-dono a favor and let Setoku charge head long into the bandit's’ nest… Though that would not have been worth the lives of his troops...sadly. Setoku was a decent warrior…Takahashi could not say He’d make a fine husband however… He offered a need head bow to Anzen as she explained the child's death, he felt that weight added to the one already on his shoulders. These were his people... as much as hers. As if on que a scout rode up to Takahshi, and after formalities were exchanged, The scout was dismissed. “ The scouts say the bandits are south of here, and provided a rough layout of their current formation.” Takahashi offered the slab of parchment the scout had handed him a moment ago to Setoku. “ I will let you lead a diversionary force , with two flanks of foot men on both sides. Then charge from the rear with cavalry. I will have a skirmish line set up behind you on the off chance you require assistance” He said. “ I will hand out detailed instructions for the capture of the bandits leader so that he may face Genji-dono’s wrath… Anzen-sama, you will be placed here with me in the rear flank incase of any injuries. This also allows us a secondary vantage point to see where your skills might be needed. Any questions?”

"Letting him live seems quite kind, Takahashi-dono, but as you wish."
Setoku gazed absent minded at the parchment - Moving in and leading a force wasn't normally his style, and was quite the bit of responsibility for one of his station, but it could work.
"If I may, Takahashi-dono, charging up from school the rear pretty much guarantee's our success with the bulk of the forces, but leaves the leader with a window to escape - Perhaps we should split some of my force to slowly encircle what we can... If he is with them, at least."
Less eyes on the battle, more on the perimeter. While it was true the ronin would be easily caught after his forces were decimated, it was a bit of work that could be avoided. Setoku shot Anzen a quick look, before looking back to Takahashi.
"Just give the word, and it shall be done."

Listening intently as the two planned, Anzen finally pulled her eyes away from the grieving mother and her child, instead focusing on Takahashi as he spoke. She nodded with a faint "Hai" to show that she would follow his orders, all the while straightening her kimono to look presentable and worth her current position - hard to do with the amount of filth that was on her skin.
However, she did not speak or interrupt Setoku's voice when he spoke. Instead, she just tilted her head slightly in thought while pulling her bamboo once again from her obi to begin tracing a couple of small kanji on the skin of her hand. If one bothered to look, she would have written 'calm' and 'energy', then watched as they immediately started to fade away.

Shinamori Setoku Anzen Hizashi Evil Monsters and Hordes Takahashi frowned a bit, it might show in the center of his brow , but his Menpo obscured most of his expressions...
He could sit here and debates the merits of each strategy, but her preferred to err in the side of caution. On the off chance these thugs had any sort of back bone all it would take is a small group of dedicated body guards to punch through a thinner line. If Takahashi's plan went anything like he wished, they would fall upon the bandits fast enough to close the gaps. " You may do with your forces as you please, so long as you have a decent front line to hold, least your attack be over run as we crash down upon them." He said after long, his attention turned to Anzen. " Anzen-sama, we will be with the rear, we can tend to any wounded we find, after this we should be able to return to Genji-dono." He said.

While the Kojiri (End of the scabbard) had a black bit of burned metal. The Tsuba (Guard) was an odd circular symbol of the Shibata clan. And the weapon's Tsuka is usually seen sticking out of his kimono, opposite his heart. A Katana with a red saya with a red katatemaki ito around the hilt is normally hanging tachi style (Edge facing the ground) from his obi.

(This stagnant is killing me.)
"We ride."
Setoku bowed his head to Takahashi, and then Anzen, before walking away. In the same moment, several swordsmen followed suite, while archers were following behind, the only trope on horses. Setoku had a small force in comparison. Only about fifteen swordsmen and ten archers followed his lead, the bulk of the long distance and ground staying with Anzen and Takahashi - The less eyes the better.
"We shall do more than punch through their ranks. We will mow through them until I find their leader."
And with that, the number of 36 men, including Setoku, marched in the direction of the camp. No goodbyes, no planning, just a loud departure.
(I'm going off assumption here, considering we left with a contingent, I'm assuming over sixty men. If not pm me, I'll make adjustments as needed.)

Physical Description: Takahasi , while not very tall makes up for this fact with presents .
The warrior only stands at five foot, four inches, yet still manages to look down the nose of the Menpo mask he commonly wears.
Takahashi had the misfortune of being disfigured by bandits simply for amusement.
He was forced to "drink" fire, this caused burns to the lower portion of his face and nose. Aside from the permanent reminder of human crulty, Takahashi would have been a rather attractive man with strong features, now the only predominate feature are his Green eyes.

"Anzen-dono, we need to inform the men of what will transpire, if you'll follow me." He asked after Setoku left. Takahashi went through and spoke to group leaders for individual elements within his fighting force and explained the play. Setoku was to be the first arrow, while the remaining forces a vice to crush the remaining forces. Shortly after and not long after Setoku had left, The formation mobilized.

(Apologies for the delay, was on vacation)
The bandits would not be hard to find, their Ronin leader, drunk on sake and success, too inebriated to notice that his men made no efforts to hide their tracks. Whooping and hollering could be heard in the distance as well, the men revelling with their newfound gains. No sentries were posted, those assigned to the task drunkenly leaning on their crude spears.

( Evil Monsters and Hordes Takahashi Shigetane (Shoun ) Anzen Hizashi ) Setoku marched quietly with his thirty five men army, his eyes sweeping and following every track, or damage, that the bandits left behind. Setoku outwardly showed disdain, but internally he was disappointed - Such sloppy work over such a minor "Victory." It was clear this ronin truly did not have much aspirations beyond being a bandit. And a bandit crew wasn't exactly what he needed, not this early on. But the leader did have organizational skills, more than Setoku anyhow. After awhile, the sounds of a drunken party crossed Setoku's ears, causing Setoku to freeze, raising his right hand to bring the small force to a halt. Setoku had covered hand signals as they marched, but clearly, there was no need. "Archers, take your horses and Yumi's into the forest, and spread out. Surround the camp to the best of your ability... Considering how small you number, some may escape. But..." Setoku smiled, adjusting his Katana, slipping it on the right of his hip, something frowned upon among Samurai. "Your job is to watch me make it too the center of the camp, upon which you will fire as many arrows as you can, with the first being on fire, as a signal. Now go." The archers on their horses saluted, before spreading out, and more nosier than Setoku hoped, they made their way into the woods, intent to spread around the best they could. "Fellow swordsman, follow me, but stay in cover. Until the arrows are fired, stay in that cover. Upon which, attack. Let's end this. As for me, I shall... Make myself at home, I think." With that, the insanely small force of twenty five men spread out, making their way shallowly into the surrounding brush. Setoku himself walking toward the entrance of the camp - Giving the drunken sentries plenty of time to stop and question the oddly dressed samurai - if they would even bother. |
