GOALS

Cannot travel on Death Day: As a priest of the ancient religion, you will automatically lose 1 point of honor every time you travel on Death Day. Travelling locally from one village to a nearby one is okay, but overland travel (from castle to castle) is forbidden. Death Day occurs every 6 days on the calendar.

Avoid Lion Clan members: The Unicorn Clan is having strained relations with the Lion Clan, because the Unicorn would not agree to a military alliance with the Lion for whatever war they are wanting to fight this time. You will have to make an honor save or lose 1 point of Honor every time you voluntarily interact with a Lion, whether that person is a samurai or a peasant.

Attending the party is a famous Phoenix actor, Shiba Takeyuki, one of the players in the kabuki drama from earlier. He clearly comes from wealth, and brings a few small gifts to hand out. When he hears that you are on your way to Beiden Pass, he waxes nostalgic about the time he performed at the Mountain Shrine there, and the Goddess of the Lake came down out of the water to watch the ritual.

“I was to perform there again this year, but unfortunately I have duties elsewhere. I would be in your debt if you give this tea set to Lord Nasu of Beiden Pass, as my apology for not coming. To show my gratitude, please accept this humble box. It is not much, but it has brought me warmth in the cold mountains of my home.” He presents to the party a small black lacquerware box, with a winter scene painted on it. A live cricket is inside. “So long as a cricket lives within,” he says, “the bed next to which this is placed will always be warm.”

Anyone who accepts the charge to deliver the tea set receives 1 glory point for the gift. Please update your character sheets accordingly.

Backstory

Late one evening...

The gentle rustle of a nice kimono behind him. He firmed his grip on the cloth wrapped around the arrows. Everything was in place to leave in quiet. In shame. His few belongings had been stashed in an outbuilding, he had known his time would come. Everyone knew, now.

"You should not be here," he whispered.

"Nor should you. She should be the one who is disgraced," the young girl said. She knelt, and bowed to him as her lord. "I know the truth. So do you."

He shook his head, turned to her, and knelt. He bowed to one he cherished. "I thought I could win the game. The truth is that I was just one of the dice being thrown on the table."

Her gaze fell to his knees. "I fear for us."

"You are to be wed. He is not a bad man."

"He thinks he is a player in the game. Am I just one of the dice?" She reached out and took his hand in both of hers. "What will become of me if he fails?"

"He plays a long game. You have time to play your own. To win, so that he can also win. To raise a family, so that your beauty and wisdom can make the Clan greater than ever before." He turned his hand to gently squeeze hers, and then pulled his hand back to his sash. He stood. "I must go. You must stay."

She brought her tear laden eyes up, to see his face one last time. "Please return to me when you can."

"Father has forbidden it. You are the family's hope. You will do well."

"I will be alone." A sob wracked her frame.

"Never. Here." He pulled the cloth from over the quiver, and slowly removed a single arrow. "Keep this. It will defend you. Perhaps one day the winds of fate will blow me to you once more."

"It will be a gentle wind, and I will be grateful for it."
