[] Kuni Fumiya
Excellent advisor for anything supernatural. Unfortunately, we already have two shugenja (incuding us!) somewhat capable of handling that. I'm unsure how big of a deal the Taint will be here such a ways from the Shadowlands, but it's covering this base at least. Warding Magic is also a major asset.
[] Asako Juzo
ALL research rolls is a particularly broad bonus, and the magical bonus is nice as well. Offset by the anti-gaijin malus, as we're literally squatting in refurbished gaijin ruins, on a gaijin continent.
[] Miya Nanako
What's the two biggest problems in a foreign land? The foreigners speak in foreign tongues, and the land is foreign. She'll go a long way to mitigate both. The pragmatic choice.
Why the hell is she doing heimin work though?
[] Suzume Masaji
Kind of niche. Matchmaking is a big courtly thing, but the other things are relatively minor. Also a mudfarmer Suzume.
[] Tsi Isao
A nice option, if we had a functioning mine and the necessary infrastructure to support making steel weaponry. Not a priority.
I'll go with
[X] Miya Nanako
for now. Though I admit the Kuni is a more exciting choice, and having backup when creatures of Jigoku start knocking would be nice.

Crossing the threshold into the House of Sweet Mercy, you are confronted by a oddity, silence. The usual revelers are absent and the sisters themselves seem sullen and withdrawn. The tables have been cleared back to the walls save for a larger central one, around which your advisers are arrayed. Farthest from you stand Junko and Ichirou, the Lion and Crane drawn closer together through the difficulties in the walls construction over the past season. Nearby Ryuu sits, legs pulled up under himself, atop a low table sipping a thin soup. To Junko's sword hand, Doji Hiroki leans in towards them; hands gesturing grandly punctuating some joke. Nearest the door, waits your newest ally. Miya Nanako, a muscular young woman with long brown hair pulled back her waist, is leaning against the wall speaking calmly to Sakura. With her familiar long coat rumple and her hair loose and in array, Sakura is far from her normal composed self. A slight darkening under her eyes hints at a lack of sleep, but he stride is a confident as ever on her approach. "My Lord, if we are to find Kaho-chan, we need to start searching soon. I've never abandoned one of my girls before, please don't make me do it now." With that fervently whispered, Sakura slips past you to assume her place at the foot of the table.
"Well, Lord Rinkusu, not the state I expected to find the infamous lady Sakura in on my first real meeting.It's good a man of your honorable nature is willing to put up with such impetous help as us. She your spy and myself... it's complicated. After you, sir." With that Nanako gestures for you to proceed you to the table.
Martial: 1 Base Action
[] 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.
[] Plenty of Spears, Not Enough Bodies: Junko has stressed to you that Ashigaru are the meat of any true army. Samurai are not common soldiers, they are leaders of men. At this point, you have few men for them to lead.
[] Let Them Cower in the Shade: With so many of your forces tied up in picket actions around the sailing ships, you new settlement is lacking in archers for the walls. Train more ashigaru archers to keep your enemies at bay.
[] Quality is Superior to Quantity: Junko has made the suggestion to perhaps begin organizing the bushi of your clan into an organized command. While their numbers would be few, they could become the cadre for a larger force in time.
[] 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.
[] It's Raining Spears: While the yari is the weapon of the peasant soldier, Junko has pointed out that you lack a true ranged counterpoint to your forces. It is true that knowledge of the bow is there, but archery is a difficult skill to master. Perhaps a shorter spear that can be thrown will serve in the meantime?
[] Guard No More: With the bulk of you population relocated to within the walls, there is no need to maintain a picket of the landing beaches. If those men are recalled, your new home will have more manpower to use elsewhere.
[X Locked Personal] A Field of Tears: Junko has passed out an area beyond the wall that she feels would make an excellent training ground for your current and future forces. Having a place to train will give you an advantage in improving your men's skills as well as providing a location for you soldiery to gather when needed.
Diplomacy: Action Locked
[X] 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.
[] 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:
[] 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.)
Stewardship: 1 Base Action
[] All Hands to Fields: Typically the harvest work would be left to the peasants, but you are uncertain how long you have to harvest in these new lands. While samurai should not need to put their hands to manual labor, all must eat. Direct all who wish to eat to work on the harvest. (If not selected, harvest will still occur)
[] 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.
[] No Ore, No Forge: The lack of metal resources has begun to be a difficulty. While reforgeing and reworking has sufficed for now, this cannot continue forever. New sources of ore will be needed and should be located as quickly as possible.
[] Perhaps We Can See to the Sea? Part 1: Your ships are beached upon open shore, this risks the wrath of a jealous sea. The site they are located at would be a fine site for a future shipyard and port.
Establish a small village at the seaside is the first step to this. From this seed, a source of food and funds could one day.
[] 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. The fields around you are already prepared for crop, but the samurai still speak of a desire for a taste of home. With a good deal of work, perhaps some of the nearby slopes can be made to support rice.
[] 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.
[] 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 Road to Kyuden Lynx: Upon the highland overlooking the bay are the ruins of a gaijin outpost. The site is defensible and has excellent lines of site. Could this eventually become the site of the Castle of Clan Lynx?
Learning: 1 Base Action
[] 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.
[] 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.
[] 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.
[] Gaijn Guests: Your pickets have managed to acquire a pair of guests for your people. Unfortunately all attempts to communicate with them has prove unsuccessful. Each possess a language separate from the other. The young woman, possessing a tongue that is more lilting and rhythmic, refuses to so much as look directly upon your more injured captive. Upon hearing the clipped and harsh tones of his pained voice; the young woman spat on the ground and refused to be brought before him. (Both can be taken at an increase in difficulty)
Intrigue: 1 Base Action
[] 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:
[]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:
[] 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.
[] A World Beneath Our Feet: The settlement that your people have re-purposed has a wealth of cellars and underground chambers. Sakura has pointed out that what little supplies were found have proven quite useful. If a dedicated team were to survey the settlement, who knows what else could be discovered.
[] Like Fine Flour: The rumors being assembled by Sakura are a varied and confusing lot. If she dedicates her time to sieving through them, perhaps a more accurate picture can be acquired?
[] Little Sister Lost: Sakura and her subordinates have been seeking Kaho throughout the town and fields, all that remains is to seek her below ground. Sakura wants to personally lead a team into the other city to find her charge and bring her home, alive or not. (Warning: If this is not chosen there is a 10% chance that Sakura will proceed with it as opposed to the chosen task)
Piety: 1 Base Action
[] 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.
[] Heart of the Settlement Part 1: "A man can function without a heart, briefly. A city can function without the kami the same." Komori Ryuu has advised that while the temple to appease the spirits in the bay is needed in time, a temple closer would serve the samurai with less need of travel and perhaps less expense.
[] 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.
[] A Calming of Hearts: Ryuu has offered to seek out all of the monks within your walls and have them work together to assuage the hearts of your people. While it is true you are far from home, wherever to Rokugani meet, there is Rokugan. Organizing a disparate collection of monks should be child's play, right?
Personal: 2 Base Actions can be used for other categories or to assist another adviser's action 1 Action Locked
[] Who Are These People?: Seek to learn more about your adviser. The more you know, the more you can focus them to the betterment of your people.
[] A Home Of Your Own: The daimyo of a Clan often finds themselves hosting guests of import within their walls. This sadly is beyond you at this point. While the House of Sweet Mercy can serve as a place to lay your head, finding a site for yourself would be necessary for the long term.
[] Seek the Kami: You have not attempted to commune deeply with the Kami of your new home. Seeking the guidance of the spirits may provide insight into the ways of the lands.
[]Among Friends: Seek out Ran and Honmaru and learn what they have taken do occupying their time having stepped down from advisory positions.
[] Self Improvement is Only the First Step: Before you can lift up your neighbors, perhaps you should seek to improve yourself? Take time to focus on improving your own skills.
I'm not fully satisfied on this one, but better to post it then to stare at it anymore.
"Well, Lord Rinkusu, not the state I expected to find the infamous lady Sakura in on my first real meeting.It's good a man of your honorable nature is willing to put up with such impetous help as us.

[] Wild Woman – Fierce and feral, her lilting tones are more pleasant to the ears. But aside from the fine steel of the blade recovered with her garb, a mix of linens and leather, the savage appears to have little to immediately offer. Lacking appropriate modesty or decorum, she has been almost desperate in her attempts to escape. Oddly enough, it is Honmaru to whom she has shown the most violence toward; in his one attempt to speak with her since her capture, she managed to break yet another of his fingers. As the months have passed, the wildling has grown more withdrawn and quiet. She is often seen listening at the small windows of he chamber. The singing that had been common in the early months has mostly ceased with time.
[] Wounded Archer – Still in the car of you monks, the young hunter has come to a near complete recovery.. Clipped and harsh of accent, he has continued to harangue any Rokugani in his presence. When confronted with the obvious lack of understanding, increased volume has been his tactic of choice. As time has passed and his recovery almost completed, he has begun to grow more aggressive. Found wearing well crafted leather and carrying a large bow, he has not attempt to leave the chamber provided to him.

[] Heart of the Settlement Part 1: "A man can function without a heart, briefly. A city can function without the kami the same."

With the change of the season came a change of the weather,catching your small community off guard. The early months of autumn greeted you with heavy rains and chill fogs descending from the northern mountains the rains onset was sudden enough to catch your heimin off guard in the fields as the harvest was being brought in. Being of sound rokugani stock, the harvest continued with some loss in the early days do to the downpours. The true hammer blow descended during the final week of the harvest with an immense storm having swept in across the bay. The waters were transformed into a seething cauldron of white tops with swells washing far beyond their normal tidal marks. Winds tore trees from their beds and stripped tiles from rooftops, but your humble township stood strong. Stout Rokugani construction faced the wrath of the kami of sea and sky and stood strong.
Harvest Collected: Food Gained +60 – 1/3 (Weather Damage)= 40 Food; Wheat Seed * 8 Gained
Down at the shoreline, your small navy would have faced a far harsher fate, had it not been for yet another miracle of design and labor by the indomitable Kakita Ichirou. Calling upon the same heimin that constructed the improvements within the walls of the settlement, he has once again worked wonders. What you had anticipated as three month ordeal, Ichirou's Engineers ,as they have come to call themselves, managed in a bare 6 weeks. Whether setting pilings as whitecaps crashed, crafting quay and slips in sideways rains, or hammering scaffolds as gust bent the very trees; his Engineers never once allowed the very rage of the kami to cease their efforts. While wind whipped and thunder rolled, the piers and workshops of your new harbour grew from mere charcoal sketches to solid edifices tucked safely behind a low wall.
Harbour Has Been Constructed, Three Slips Constructed, Multiple Piers Constructed, Small Warehouse And Workshop Built. Ichirou's Engineers Formed; A Dedicated Team Of Heimin Construction Crews Who Suffer No Weather Penalties.
When you asked Nanako to decipher the speech of the barbarian woman in you care, this was not the response you expected. You found Nanako laughing alongside the young woman on the outer walls, overlooking your mud-soaked fields. The liquid burbling of her mysterious language sent a shiver up your spine, as the young blond wild woman began to sing a mournful tune.
Having noted your presence, Nanako descended to speak with you. "Rinkusu-dono, our guest has chosen to unburden her care upon myself. Apparent Hanmaru-san, gave her a bit of a shock. Apparently the Caerdywn, the gaijin to our north, practice bridal kidnapping. Until I spoke with her, she had convinced herself that Honamru had decided to lay claim to her. Saraid, our guest, has had an odd reaction to finding this untrue. I must admit her offense at not being captured as a bride compared to her embarrassment at being captured at all was amusing to say the least." With that segue, Nanako proceeded to pummel you with a barrage of odd grammatical terms and digressions about dialogues, all the while your eyes becoming more and more crossed and your headache stronger. (4d10k4= 25, bare success)
Caerdwyni Language Acquired for Nanako, Personal Option for Fluency Gained, Further Diplomacy , Learning, and Intrigue Options Available. Still No Comprehension From Other "Guest"
Within the walls, things fared far worse among the construction crews. By the end of the month of Bayushi or, Rooster as the heimin term it, a solid functional structure had been crafted. Well polished and spacious, it appeared to be a building to weather the ages. Then came the rains. Shortly through the month of Dog, the storms began. At their height the new court collapsed into it's own basement. After a few more attempts to repair the original design, a new solution was determined. Instead of building out of the basement, the basement has become the court. It is claustrophobic and rough, but it is warm and enclosed. With further work, perhaps it can be improved upon.
Undercity Court Constructed, Court Expansion Option Opened, Minor Penalty to Diplomacy Actions Involving Rokugani Until Improvements Are Made
Throughout the first storms, the monks spoke with honeyed words and considered arguments. As the heavier weather roared through, the monks arguments became more heated and often more physical. Ryuu ambushed you from among the crates while you had been inspecting your ship. With his right eye blackened and visible bruising visible beneath the neck of his kimono. "Ah, Kihei-chan; I do hope I find you well. When the sea meets the cliffside, it is not the shore that wins. This one is uncertain where he stands on this beach." As Ryuu then wondered off, you find yourself curious; who's blood was on his kimono.
Overall Tension Reduced.
Within the walls of your new home, you have found a calm haven against the stresses of your office. Within the center of the settlement, you have laid claim to what once may have been a nobles manor house. With a worked stone ground floor and extensive basements dedicated to storage, servants quarters, and kitchens; your personal quarters begin on the third floor. Between the working and reception spaces on the first floor and your private quarters on the third, you can find a number of well furnished guest quarters. Among your private quarters, you even have managed to set aside room for a private shrine and small research workshop. Sitting quietly in the comfort of your home, you cast your thoughts back over the weeks of meditation on the kami of this land. The kami of wind and rain allowed themselves to be calmed to an extent as you spoke of your peoples acceptance of their purpose and power. The voices of the earth spoke to you of a permanence to your peoples story in these lands. And fire spoke to you of an upwelling of heat both deep beneath your streets and a short distance beyond your walls to the southeast. The oddest moment came during the dark of the new moon, with a tap on your window. To your surprise, your gaze was met by a pair of emerald eye. Thinking back on the night, you still are uncertain why you chose to do what followed.

Do we really need four units of spear infantry? Spears counter cavalry, but I don't think that's going to come up a lot here? Arming two units with parangu or such instead would be a lot more versatile I think? But the boat seems to have sailed already.
EDIT: we don't even seem to have parangu in our expedition inventory. Who thought it would be a good idea to not pack machetes for the expedition?

Parangu weren't necessarily not packed, you just lost a number of supply ships enroute. That ship sadly didn't survive the roll off. And unlike other supplies that might be out in the wrecks, parangu rust.

Ach, we'll have to make do then. I'd prefer a more diverse infantry portfolio than four units with long spears but eh, consensus is made.
