Year 3: Minato Fin (Winter Court 3)
-Go into the keep
In the end the words that Mayu said stick with you. Trust no one who isn't a Seppun. So while Giant Monk might be helpful, he might also be an enemy...and you're pretty sure that you can't take someone who literally can bend you into an abstract origami piece.
So you make your way towards the keep, something in the back of your mind is worrying at you.
Where are the Tsuruchi? There's always supposed to be a coterie of Bow Masters here
The towering stone and wood looms over you as you look at the main doors, seemingly left open. There are no guards watching them or anything. No this wasn't right at all. You weren't...you weren't a properly trained samurai or nothing, but you weren't stupid. You don't just leave the doors open when the Emperor is in residence.
Taking a deep breath, you run across the gap from the bushes into the main entry way. There you see what happened to the guards. One of them an older Seppun lays on the ground holding his guts in, as the other is impaled into the wall.
We took too much time getting my weapons, we need to get topside fast
The Seppun looks at you.
"...Who are you kid?" He says with a gurgle.
"Minato...I had a message from one of the magistrates."
"Seppun Sousuke, Kind of know about the traitors, thank you kindly...but I suppose it can't be helped...you know how to use that sword?" he asks.
"A little" you say.
"Listen. I played dead after they well, cut me open like a fish. I over heard something. Their leader this smarmy fucker named Susumu, he's holding a war fan shiny silver thing with obsidian inlay. That's what he's using to control the spirits. If you can get that to the Emperor...it might be enough. The fucker's no fighter so stab him a couple times."
"...Hai" You say.
"Sorry kid, I'd come with you if I could...but kind of can't feel my legs...healer'll fix me up though...Kami world coming to that I need a ronin to do my job."
"I'll do my best Seppun-sama" You say after a moment.
"Good kid, get the fan or the bastard...I'm going to uh..take a moment to rest my eyes."
You swallow, yet again someone was dying and you had no way to help. That thought bothered you, yes you stole, lied, and beat up people. But you never actually wanted to kill anyone...and now people were dying because of you.
This is what it means to be a Samurai, draw your blade if you want to avenge himWith a slow, oddly calm hand, you draw out your blade. Too many people were dying because of you, and you were going to stop it, no matter what it took.
That's my boy, we are the scions of the Storm, show them our fury!
You climb up the central keep, ignoring the opulent display of wealth the Mantis put forth. You couldn't feel something like pride in it, but it wasn't important. The Emperor was in danger, and like some sort of deranged pillow book you were the only one who could stop it.
On the third floor, you see a pair of samurai, ronin like you but on their backs, a mon you don't recognize, a symbol resembling a spider. Having long since thrown away silence in your attempt to hurry, they're ready for you. The spider ronin, one a man with lithe features suggesting he's from the Crane and the other more stocky, Crab like features look at you for one moment and laugh. The man beginning to taunt you
"Oh is the little baby ron--"
You silence him with a single slash of your blade. It felt...like you did with the kama, like you knew this weapon and how to use it far more than your hours of practising should allow. The thought is pushed to the side as the woman moves to cut you down. You know the strike before she does it, duck, and come up with a lethal upward's slash that sees your sword point through her skull.
Two people dead in less than two minutes, that should...worry you more than it did, but you had no time. Instead you kept going, absently flicking the blood off your katana, as you do so. There are more spider ronin like the ones before. Like them they die, your body moving and flowing like it's less a human being and more of a force of nature. Is this what those scrolls meant by 'munshin'?
Finally you find yourself on the top floor. In front of you, a man who true to Sousuke's word loooks like a smug git
On the other side of the room, the most beautiful woman you've ever seen stands, holding a naginata along with another man, this one is, you're not sure who, but he too holds out his sword. The pair are facing off with those four demon armours from earlier today.
The git speaks.
"You've done well this far Hisao-kun, but no matter how skilled you and your lovely wife are. These spirits cannot be stopped by you. Surrender now, and I'll make it quick."
The other man, Hisao speaks.
"I will cordially invite you to go kill yourself Susumu, my father and grandfather killed your previous masters. I will do the same to yours."
"...well I tried, for old time's sake." Susumu says.
The demon armours begin advancing. You don't hesitate coming up at a run behind Susumu your blade coming through his chest.
He looks down and then back.
"...a ronin?" He asks.
"Hai, Seppun Sousuke-sama said to stab you a few times...he'll forgive me for just one" You say.
Susumu chuckles, as he collapses to the ground, his face sliding off into a smoky ooze as a completely different person is revealed. That's...well you're going to have nightmares about that. The demon armours turn to face you, and remembering Sousuke's words, you quickly search the corpse to pull out the fan he mentioned.
The woman's face lights up.
"Destroy it!" she calls
You see no reason to deny her, and take your katana to it...the world goes white. As you fall to the ground you hear:
"Why do people keep attacking me at Winter Court?"
---------------------------------
Your name is Toturi IV and you are very tired. Part of you wants to blame the man standing in front of you for that. Yoritomo Naizen had been found drugged out of his mind in a small out of the way part of the tower surrounded by the Order of the Spider.
Kisada had taken a very enthusiastic walk to go get him. Naizen was on his hands and knees apologizing You know the man was proud, you know that this galled the pirate's pride. Fact was though, Naizen had failed. Failed to keep you safe, it had taken someone barely younger than you to do that. Granted, he seemed to be Yoritomo Aramasu's bastard son, so his skill was expected, but still.
Kotaro and Akane were still piecing everything together, but they had the gist they think. Kisada had found that Yoritomo's chief guard captain, Yoritomo Hideaki, had received a blood sword approximately two years ago. Hideaki had been corrupted by the sword, and with it, the rot of the Spider had been subtly spread through out the Guard ranks, and magistrates that were incorruptible paired with those who had committed deeply to the cause of Emperor Kanepeki.
Daigotsu had a son, that was news you had been...upset to learn about.
In the end it was known that eventually you would grace Kyuden Gotei with your presence. When that happened they would use certain blood magics designed by Shahai, along with the suborned guard retinue to create four unstoppable weapons of death, doing to you what Daigotsu had done to your grandfather a generation ago. Susumu had been slipped back into the city to ensure the plan went off without a hitch when you announced your intent. Hideaki had arranged for Naizen to be poisoned and put out of the way for the event. The intent seeming to be to cause another civil war in the Empire and deprive the Imperial Throne of its finest naval assets.
And while you had lost your guard, the plan had failed thanks to a single bastard ronin living up to a promised mission. The avenging fury of the Phoenix and Seppun had turned the upper echleons of the Mantis into an empty shell of itself, as countless Yoritomo, Tsuruchi and Moshi were purged for the allegiance.
"I completely accept all responsibility, but please Mikado, take my life, or let me take mine, but do not punish the Mantis for my mistakes" Naizen says.
[] Naizen will be allowed to commit seppukku, you will have the closest branch to the family of Yoritomo-no-kami inherit
[] Naizen will be executed
[] Naizen will be allowed to live but made ronin

The Mantis will be

1. It is partially their fault. Clans have obligations of self-policing, especially when it comes to shit like this.
2. It sends very bad message. That all you have to do is wave hands in the air and whine that "it wasn't me" and good old stupid gullible emperor will forgive you.
Keeping position/moderate punishment or sepukku/low punishment are least punishing combinations that are acceptable.
PS. Well and it also combinations that are of maximum effectiveness. Either we allow him to take everything on himself or give visible, but not crippling punishment to whole clan. Pushing for more than that is effective way to cause resentment. And I'm not sure Empire can afford to lose Mantis as much trouble as their are.
PPS. It's quite possible that moderate punishment on clan will end in his sepukku anyway. Not as excuse to us, but to clan. Because he did fail Mantis by allowing this shit to blow up. Harsh puinishment 90% would (10% is for him deciding to fuck our shit as much as possible in revenge).

Let this be an example. Great Clans fuck up, they get hit. Minor Clans are good, they get honored. Ronin who go above and beyond are made into Legends. Such is the Way of the Empire.
Anyways fact is Naizen fucked up, and fact is the Mantis fucked up. It took a Ronin who is barely more than a child to fix their fuck up. Such a thing must be punished appropriately. He'll be allowed to commit seppukku to gain back some honor, but the Mantis must be punished and they will have their treasury that they love so much hit so as to remind them that their loyalty is to the Throne First and Foremost.
Minato was an honorable hero who saved the Empire from disaster and he will be honored as such. Yes it is a further slap to the Mantis, but at this point they should be thankful we haven't stripped them of their status as a Great Clan. Being a Great Clan will not protected you from getting slapped when you fail in your duty and your oaths as much as they did.
Had an actual Mantis Bushi saved us, I would have been inclined to be more merciful as it would have given us an good excuse to be merciful. But it is not what happened.
The Great Clans must be reminded that we are Toturi. Our line has saved the Empire time and time again and we will not tolerate them making more trouble for us while we rebuild the Empire they destroyed in their shortsighted struggles.

In Naizen's defense, it was the Asahina who fucked up first in letting the Anvil of Despair get stolen, and Minato is the bastard son of the last good Mantis Champion so kind of counts for the Mantis thing. But I get where you're coming from. Turns out being an amazing pirate does not in turn make you amazing at stopping the Lady of Blood from fucking your shit up.

Do we have a new colour palate or is it just that I'm looking at a new screen?
-[?] And we'll get a quest about it back?

To the former, I say that the text is intentional. Specifically it's Minato's father speaking.
To the latter, I don't know that's up to StorybookKnight, but I loved that quest and like to give shout outs to all the l5r quests, if its not too SoD breaking.

Yes but I'm also using this as an opportunity to cut down an unruly vassal to teach them a lesson while taking away some of their strength to empower the Imperial Throne. The Mantis have gotten arrogant and prideful, so it was about time anyways.

You misunderstand. This red isn't the same colour I'm used to, hence I want to know if its my screen or SV making changes.
