Where the Kami Blow (L5R Minor Clan Gaijin Land Quest)

Sheets here will update as you learn further information.

As has become something of a tradition, you are joined at you morning fast by Ran, Honmaru, and Sakura. Ran has chosen to sit on the far side of the former Unicorn from Sakura and a faint red tinges her cheeks when ever you look her way. Sakura on the far side, looks to have more in common with a pleased cat with feathers in her whiskers.

"Thank you my friends for you aid in these early days. We have made a strong start, but that is all it is. Just a start. Our people shelter among wrecks and in holds, samurai sleep on ship decks. We have much work yet to do. I have valued your strong arms and willing minds and do hope you will continue to assist our people."

With these few words you settled down to discuss further what needs to be done.



Martial: 1 Action
[] Determine a military adviser: While Honmaru would be happy to fill this role, you are uncertain if he is the best candidate. Take the time to seek the best candidate to advise in this role.
Result: A chance for a number of possible advisers, +1 Military Action per Turn

[] Pickets a plenty: Until a wall is established, guards need to be set to keep the unknown at bay. Establish a guard rotation with your ashigaru forces. Ashigaru used for this purpose will be unavailable for other duties.
Cost: 2 Units of Ashigaru
Result: Reduced chance of animal attack or infiltration, guarded perimeter

[] Over the horizon: Dispatch two of your ships to scout the nearby coastline. This will prevent them from being used for other purpose, but accurate maps are worth their weight in jade.
Cost: 2 ships, 2 units of food
Result: Better Maps/??/??

[] Plenty of Spears, Not Enough Bodies: Honmaru maintains that while any samurai should be worth 4 ashigaru, they are still needed. Samurai should not have to stand guard as common soldiers, they should lead men to do so for them instead.
Cost: 50 koku per unit + 1 unit of yari
Result: Raise units of Ashigaru Spearmen

[] Fences are the Best Neighbors: With the lumber coming in, a palisade can be constructed to secure the landing beaches. This will reduce the number of guards needed and delay any attack on the ships or tents.
Cost 40 Timber, 300 koku

[] Scout the Countryside for local inhabitants: Send forth samurai to search the surrounding countryside for threats or possible neighbors. At this point it would only be the immediate area, but it is a start.
Result: Knowledge of nearby terrain and possible gaijin settlement

[] Survey the Area for suitable settlement sites.
While a shoreline is fine for a landing site, your people are exposed here. Send out men to seek a more secure site for settlement, with an eye for resources and defensibility. Can be taken in conjunction with construction options.
Cost 50 Koku
Results: Potentially better sites for founding the your initial settlement than directly at the shore line.


Diplomacy:
[] Determine a diplomatic adviser: While you have been filling this role to date, you are no courtier. While more than capable of speaking with others, your companions have mentioned that things might look better politically if you reached out for aid with this one. Sakura's laughter when you pointed out that things had gone well so far was worrying.
Result: A chance for a number of possible advisers, +1 Diplomacy Action per Turn

[] Establish a Court: An established place for samurai to meet and air grievances or discuss goals will ease tensions somewhat. It would also make organizing and recruitment amongst said samurai simpler as well.
Cost: 20 Timber, 100 Koku
Result: Reduce tensions, Decrease recruitment difficulty, central meeting place

[] Meet the factions: Pick a faction and meet with its leadership. Take the time to determine their goals and desires in more depth and perhaps persuade them more towards your duty.
Pick one:
[] De-dana – Yoritomo Cheiko
[] Fusegu – Kaito
[] Han-Geki – Uyaku Akari
[] Ippon – Doji Himari
Result: further information on faction Leader and goals, ??

[] Aggressively recruit among the other clans present: The Clan of the Lynx is small, actively seek to recruit new samurai from the other clans and ronin present. This may offend those who remain loyal to the clans of their birth. (If this is not take, the clan will still grow. It will just grow at a slower passive rate.)
Cost: 50 Koku, increased risk of Faction Tension Rise
Results: Increase in number of Lynx Clan Samurai, Decrease in Other Clan numbers


Stewardship:
[] Determine a Majordomo: While you have been filling this role to date, you are neither a courtier nor an engineer. While more than capable of speaking with others and possessing a decent grasp of planning and management skills, perhaps a more adept hand would be useful on the tiller.
Result: A chance for a number of possible advisers, +1 Stewardship Action per Turn

[] Off the ships: It is past time to start establishing better housing. While it is spring now, winter is coming.
Cost: 40 Timber 100 Koku Locks for 2 Turns
Result: basic housing for all Rokugani, Decrease in Tension

[] Sea's bounty: A number of peasant have been noted fishing on the shoreline and when questioned they have all commented on the bounty. Perhaps it would be wish to retool some of your ships for fishing to supplement diets. Any of your ships can be used for this, but the more damaged the less well it will perform.
[] Use the Pristine ships
[] Use The Minor Damaged Ships
[] Use The Moderate Damage Ships
[]Use the heavily Damaged Ships
Cost: Variable (15 koku + 1 Cordage per ship)
Results: food supply increase dependent on the number of ships used, + koku over time, reduced tensions

[] Peasants Gonna Peasant, Farmers Gonna Farm: According to Hanmaru, these lands remind him of the northern stretches of Unicorn territory to an extent. Wheat is often farmed there, at least where it is not pasturage. Perhaps those seeds can be put to good use?
Cost: 2 Units of Wheat seed, 15 Timber, 20 Koku, Locked in for 2 Turns
Results: A wheat crop, Moderate food supply increase, + koku at harvest, reduced tensions

[] The Rice is Life: Bread is all well and good, but rice is true food. Even your money is named for it; Koku. The amount of rice one man needs in a year. With a good deal of work, perhaps some of the nearby slopes can be made to support rice.
Cost: 2 Rice Seed, 200 Koku, Locked for 3 Turns
Results: A nearby area is made as suitable as can be managed for a rice crop; Large Food Supply Increase, + koku at harvest, Large Tension Reduction.

[] Timber: Clear Cutting has brought in an supply of timber, but it is only so much. Develop a heimin logging village and detail some samurai as foresters. This will bring in a steady flow of timber and funds, while preventing deforestation.
Cost: 200 Koku, 20 Timber, 1 Iron

[] If it Can't Float, Don't Fix It: Disassembling the wrecks will provide you with further materials for use, but only if done before the ships have time to rot and rust. But it is good to keep in mind that once disassembled they can't be re-floated.
Pick Which Ships to Disassemble:
[] The Wrecks
[] The Heavy Damaged
[]The Moderately Damaged


Learning:
[] Determine a scholastic adviser: You are aware that you are a scholar of some note, but even scholars could use the input of their peers. Perhaps another keen mind can be found to aid your understanding of this land. You do have a lot on your plate at the moment after all.
Result: A chance for a number of possible advisers, +1 Diplomacy Action per Turn

[] Flora and Fauna Studies: A new land means new plants and new creatures, perhaps it would be wise to determine what dwells within these hills and forests.
Cost 30 Koku
Results: Some understanding of local plant and animal life

[] No Dojo is No Good Part 1: Currently your Clan has no dojo, no sensei, and no training for your future. The first step will be to find a worthy teacher among your colonists. After that comes the easy part.
Cost: 100 Koku

Result: A selection of Sensei to chose from. Chain ends with a dojo constructed, training facilities, and the chance for a new Clan specific School in addition to other schools having a chance at training grounds.

[] A Dark Doorway Brought to Light: Take an expedition to explore the Overgrown Gateway. With as small a colony as you have, secrecy shouldn't be needed here. Call for volunteers and venture through into the unknown.
Cost: ??
Results: Openly Delve the Overgrown Gateway, ??, ??


Intrigue: 1 Action
[] Determine a Intrigue adviser: To date, Sakura has been working to fill this roll for you, using her little sisters to keep an ear to the ground. But perhaps, she would better serve in another roll? Among your colony are a number of cunning individuals, seek them out.
Result: A chance for a number of possible advisers, +1 Intrigue Action per Turn

[] A Dark Doorway Opened in Silence: While a full expedition of volunteers may be a wise choice for plumbing the depth, not all secrets should be shared. With no knowledge of what you will find within, you have no way of knowing what secrets could be unwittingly or unwillingly shared. Sakura suggests that she and her sisters are all the escorts you can handle anyway. The glare given by Ran at that statement is enough to make Honmaru slide further back and out of the line of fire.

[] Every Leader Has His Secrets: Factions are forming and you know little about them. Perhaps it would be wise to study their leaders a bit more quietly than over a meal. Set Sakura's little sisters to investigating further on the faction leader of your choice.
Pick one:
[] De-dana – Yoritomo Cheiko
[] Fusegu – Kaito
[] Han-Geki – Uyaku Akari
[] Ippon – Doji Himari
Cost: 50 koku
Result: More detailed knowledge of a Faction leader and the personal goals, may acquire blackmail

[]Faction Politics Can Be Ugly: While the leaders of the factions are important, the rank and file are dangerous. Work to infiltrate the faction of your choice to know how they are responding to events and what plans their membership knows.
Pick one:
[] De-dana – Yoritomo Cheiko
[] Fusegu – Kaito
[] Han-Geki – Uyaku Akari
[] Ippon – Doji Himari
Cost: 50 Koku
Result: More detailed ground level information on a faction as a whole.

[] Power of the people: Samurai are the power in the empire, but heimin make it run. No true lord can ignore the commoners entirely. Winning them fully to your cause will gain you eyes and ears that most samurai never notice existing to begin with.
Cost: 50 Koku
Results: Further information on the state of the Heimin, a chance for further intelligence opportunities.


Piety: 1 Action
[] Determine a Piety adviser: Ran colors faintly as you compliment her work with the local kami, but mentions that there are surely more experienced candidates to advise you.
Result: A chance for a number of possible advisers, +1 Piety Action per Turn

[]Shrine on: The local kami expressed a desire for worship, but being simple spirits would be content with a small shrine. Have Ran oversee it's construction.
Cost: 20 Koku, 5 Timber
Results: Local spirits pleased, Tension Lowered, ??

[] Temple of the Lost Part 1: Your father's flagship and the resting place of his bones lies unquiet in the bay. All that Ran was able to ascertain was the powerful kami associated with the site demands to never be forgotten. A temple on the site of the wreck would do this and would serve as a memorial to all lost on the journey to date. It will be a great deal of work and expensive but duty to ones ancestors is important.
Cost 200 koku, one ship
Results: Survey the site of the Luck of the Kitsune for temple construction.
Chain ends with a temple constructed, a large tension guard, and improved shugenja training odds.

[] Luck be a Lady: The Kami of your fathers flagship is aware and grieving, but a temple is a large expense, perhaps there is another way she can be appeased? Have the shugenja continue seeking to commune with the spirit.
Cost: 20 Koku
Result: A chance to Settle the Kami without constructing a temple.

Personal:
There is far to much to do and no hands with which to do them. You have your duty and that will have to satisfy you for now.

The steam curls slowly from your cup as you settle down to look over your notes prior to speaking with the rest of your forming counsel. Honmaru had set about arranging a guard schedule like a Crab warding from oni. Interlocking patrols, random spot inspections, a focus on flying columns for relief, and an almost fanatic attention to detail; so much so you overheard one of the Kaiu stating it was passable, a large compliment from some of the greatest defensive engineers in the Empire And the picket was set with little time to spare, a large herd of elk had chosen to migrate through some of the lower passes into the north and were followed by equally large packs of wolves. A few specimen stood as high as a tall man hip at their shoulders. With the pickets in place, not only was the timber harvest allowed to continue unmolested, numerou elk and wolves were added to you larders. Even more interestingly, this morning Honmaru brought word that a pair for gaijin had been discovered. One a young woman with odd tattoos on her arms and face the other a young man in leathers with an heavy ax. The young fellow had been found savaged by wolves, while Honmaru had the pleasure of interrupting the girl bathing. The view was more than worth the missing tooth and cracked ribs, at least according to his description.
Pickets, no deaths from animals; + 3 food, gaijin capture * 2

Intrigue Advisers
Despite being asked to seek her own replacement, Sakura threw her all into your request. Four months of quiet meetings, back corner discussions, and constant searching by her subordinates later, she has presented her list. It is a who's who of the shady and duplicitous among the Rokugani present. While her name does lead the list, three others are worthy of special note.

[] Usagi Emiko
You were introduced to Usagi Emiko when you came across the exuberant young woman matching Sakura drink for drink while trading other peoples secrets in a game of one-upmanship.

Later Sakura swore she remembered nothing of her evening with the Hare, but her smile seemed wider than usual when she tried to put you at ease.
School: Usagi Bushi School
Rank 4
Benefit – Blood on the Wind; the Usagi School trains their members to recognize the stink of taint and to see the signs of maho or blood-magic.

Piety Adviser
"Rinkusu-dono, I apologize if my attempts to serve you have been lackluster. Please accept these possible successors, they will surely serve you far better than I." With this appeal, Ran left a carefully calligrapied scroll on the floor prior the backing from the room.

[] Rinkusu Ran

Loud and a little hotheaded, Royuta is an outlier among the Phoenix clan.

Through debate and shame he drives those around him to speak first and fight second. (Bonus 2k2 to Resolving Inter-faction Disputes Non-Violently)



With your comrades busy with the tasks you asked of him, you take the time to seek experts in their fields to assist you in running both your new clan and the new colony you are working to survive. Taking the time to speak with the various samurai, you spend hours inquiring after the training and watching the interaction for your various followers and guests. Samurai are warriors by nature and you have little difficulty finding a number of potential volunteers to help shape the martial future of your clan. Engineers and scholars on the other hand are far more difficult. In the end, you find a bare four willing to tie they fate to yours for the chance to build a colony worthy of the Empire.

The most difficult search, surprisingly, is to find any assistance with easing the tensions among you court or deal with the distant gaijin. Most of those you speak with suggest you speak with Yoritomo Cheiko, or merely offer you platitudes. Weeks pass before a white-haired courtier takes a seat at your side, sipping from a cup of sake. Without looking in your direction, he quietly whisper "Rinkusu-dono, it is a pleasure to see you here. Doji Haruki, at your service. This humble servant has heard some interesting whispers around the fires of late, that perhaps it would be wise for those who wish a future amongst the less martial to avoid your gaze for the near future. But I have always felt that a bird in flight should not worry about the glare of an insect, no mater how large it is. If perhaps you feel the same about a poise of the lynx?"

Martial Candidates
[] Rinkusu Honmaru
In your few months getting to know the bear of a bushi, you have learned that while not subtle or skilled in courtly traits, Honmaru is a master of the horse. Accepting to a fault and more than willing to consider new possibilities, he has the unfortunate tendency to think a strong charge will solve most issues. Well that and sniffling into his sake over the loss of his horse during the sinking of his ship.
School: Moto Bushi
Rank 2
Benefit: Everything is Better From a Saddle: Anything that a samurai can do on foot, they should be able to do as well from horseback. Without horses this may prove difficult, but the future is another matter. (A More Mobile Force, More Cavalry Options, Reduce Cost and Training time for Cavalry Units)

[] Akodo Junko
Junko, a flame haired woman, is a perfectionist at heart having spent every moment working to improve her skills. Raised among the Akodo, she was taught from a young age that a true warrior knows all weapons are vital to success and that a study of the battles of the past will guide to the victories of the future.
School: Akodo Bushi

Benefit: Repetition is Perfection: It is only thorugh practice that response can become instinct. A professional force should be the backbone of any defense. (A Balanced Force, More Option For Medium Infantry, Reduced Costs and Time for Unit Quality Training Actions)


[] Hida Goro
The best neighbors are stout walls. This assertation is repeated again and again as Hida Goro braged of his service on the Great Carpenter Wall. Pointing to the northern mountains, he described vast wall and towers, interlinking ballistas, and a solid core of heavy infantry. Let them men of Rokugan secure this new land on acre at a time and the gaijin will learn to serve for no other reason than to shelter behind your gates.
School: Hida Bushi
Rank 2
Benefit: We are the Wall: While the Great Carpenter Wall is a marvel of defensive engineering, it is the men that make it hold. Without true samurai and stalwart ashigaru to hold it, a wall is just piled stone. (A Defensive Approach, Super Heavy Infantry and Siege Options, Reduce Training Time and Costs for Heavy Infantry)

[] Daidoji Taichi
When you spoke to Daidoji Taichi, his quiet nature was the first thing you took note of. Unlike the other bushi who put themselves forward, he spoke more of duty than of glory. When he gestured as he spoke your eyes were drawn to his right hand and the chopstick held in his three fingered grip. Noticing your stare, he had stood to leave with a final question. "What price victory my lord? A limb, a life, or one's own honor? Or all if it means the clan?"
School: Daidoji Iron Warriors, Daidoji Harrier
Rank 3
Benefit: There is Honor in Victory: There is no honor in failing those you are sworn to protect. Victory is what matters, through open combat or through ambush. (A More Subtle Approach, More Light Infantry and Ranged Options, Reduced Training Time and Cost for Light and Ranged Troops)


Diplomatic Candidates

Elder statesman of the Mantis and friend of your father, he has been drawing the traditionalist among your people to his side. Temperamental and prone to holding grudges; in his eyes you remain your fathers bastard child, with much yet to learn.
School Yoritomo Courtier

School: Doji Courtier
Rank 3


Majordomo Candidates
[] Kaiu Kairi
Youngest daughter of one of the finest engineers produced by the Crab in a generation, Kairi found herself striding in deep sandal-prints as she followed her fathers path.

School: Kaiu Engineer
Rank 2
Benefit: Decrease in Cost and Build Times of Military and Defensive Structures, Decrease in Infrastructure Build Time
Negative: Increase in Cost of Cultural Buildings

Benefit: Large Decrease in Tension, Reduced Build Time for Cultural Buildings
Negative: Minor Increase in All Construction Costs

Benefit: Reduced Cost and Build time for Government Structures, Decrease in Crime
Negative: Increase in Tension

[] Shinjo Jorou
Near as wide as he is tall, the balding samurai expressed his dismay at the lack of mention of temple or library in the diatribes of his fellows. With a sweep of his arm, he spoke of temple complexes and monasteries with open paths to the summits.
School: Asako Loremaster
Rank 2
Benefit: The Scholar's Way: Reduced Cost and Build Time on Temples and Places of Learning Reduced, Reduced Tension,
Negative: Increased Cost to Military Structures



Your scouts have done far better work than even your highest expectations. When you dispatched them you hadn't expected the mash up of Hiruma, Kitsune, and Daidoji to work together, let alone thrive side by side. Over the months, individual scouts or small parties would continued to trickle back in with tales of large beasts and verdant wilderness but no real progress. Then a month prior to the deadline you had provided a trio of samurai approached you as a group. Representative of each of the major groups of scouts that had been dispatched they had chosen to take the initiative to pool the efforts of their subordinates. To the North and East the Hiruma had ranged, the Daidoji to the Northwest, and to the South and Southwest traveled the Kitsune Rangers. Upon their returns their notes and maps were combined into a master copy with points of interest highlighted. With obvious pride, they have presented you with the master copy itself.

Gain Master Copy Map, Cooperation Between Scouts Increased, Four Additional Locations Discovered







[] Hillside location above the "Gateway"
To the South of the landing beaches are a number of low hills. With low woods below them and gentle slopes, they would provide a decent vantage point and room to plant fields, but would also likely lead to a settlement divided across numerous hills. Within their bounds lie the gateway located previously by the Sisters of mercy.

[] Low Lying "marsh"
East Along the river, The Hiruma return with word of a shallowly submerged stretch of lowlands, flanked by higher ground. Tucked in along the bank of the river, your scouts advise that this would be excellent land to cultivate a rice crop, but warn that the area evidences sign of previous flooding and that it is lacking in any defensive terrain.

[] Ancient Mine
Far to the northeast the Hiruma have returned with word of a rough mine dug deep into the mountain foothills. With no more than a bare and ruined hut on the slopes aside it, no further sign of habitation was noted. Judging by the samples of ore the scouts returned with, the mine appears to be the site of rich veins of iron and tin.

[] Abandoned Settlement
From the Southwest, the Rangers have brought word of an oddity, amid fields of untouched grain stand the deserted remains of a small settlement. With wooden palisade crumbling from lack of maintenance and a broken gate hanging on rusted hinges. The buildings within line packed dirt streets overgrown with thick grasses and raspberry bushes. The majority of the structures are in a dilapidated state, but the Rangers report no sign of recent visitors and that the fields will likely have a strong fall harvest.

[] Ruined Outpost
Located on the headland overlooking the entrance of the bay an collection of broken stone walls surround a number of ruined structures, the largest a bare tower of three stories. Due west of the landing beaches, they provide a clear view of both the depths of the sea and the length of the bay. According to the scouts reports, the roof of the tower is deep with ash and charcoal. The slopes around the ruins are terraced but bare and the spring that is present is small and shallow.
