The three ronin had found their man: the runaway shugenja, Reju Tetsuya. They were ordered to bring Tetsuya back to Closed Shell Castle, but the shugenja refused. He vowed to never return. Tetsuya felt tremendous regret for what he had done. He had been used as a pawn in a plot hatched by the steward, Otomo Nobu, to kill Reju Jikai, defeat the band…

The monks dropped their ruse and revealed themselves for what they truly were: murderous assassins. In a haze, the ronin drew their weapons to defend themselves, but the damage was already done. Poison was coursing through their veins, making them feel lightheaded and fatigued, while the powder of the sokutoshi blinded and choked them. The assassin…

The survivors of the hunting party sat with Otomo Nobu to debrief the events of the attack. Nobu revealed that he knew Nakama was a shapeshifter. The Otomo family had long traded secrets with Nakama in order to learn about the land surrounding Closed Shell Castle. Nobu claimed, however, that he did not know that Nakama was planning an attack on Rej…

Boa had just heard the news that Mamoru Nakama was planning an attack on Jikai’s hunting party. Thinking quickly, he notified Tsume and used his contacts in the castle to get an anonymous letter to Jikai warning him of the ambush. The next morning, everyone in the castle stood at the gates to see the hunting party off. Excitement was in the air, mi…

Rin was dead, Zagra’s cell was empty, and Kaizoku was nowhere to be found. The castle immediately went into high alert and Tsume and Boa were brought before Nobu to answer for what happened. The pair could not speak for the disappearance of their friend and merely insisted that a further investigation would need to be held before any conclusions co…

Tsume was brought before the lord of Closed Shell Castle, Reju Jikai, and his wife, Seppun Azusa. The lord and his lady listened intently as Tsume divulged the secret which banished them to the castle. He revealed that it was Miya Shinkako who was behind the fateful incident which injured the Daidoji child and cost Jikai his status as a revered and…
  continue reading
 
Boa sat in the castle tea room speaking with Mamoru Nakama, the shapeshifting wolf, and Dzudh Khan, the wandering monk. Nakama seemed to have marked Ide Toshio, a diplomat from the Unicorn clan, as his prey, worried that he was the cause of the over-hunting in the forest. Boa tried to get Nakama to understand that larger factors were at play, but N…

Kaizoku stood in the dungeons speaking with his former crewmate, Zagra. He had a deal for him. If Kaizoku helped free him from the castle, Zagra would supply Kaizoku with Liquid Void. With just a few words, Kaizoku was immediately transported to another place. The hair stood up on the back of his neck. Waves of euphoria washed over him. He had to h…

Previously on Podcast of the Five Rings… The three ronin sat in audience with Otomo Nobu, the castle steward. The lord, Reju Jikai, it seemed could not be bothered with such matters at that hour. Boa stood accused of attempting to steal from Reju Tetsuya’s private quarters. With some quick thinking, he was able to hide the note he found arranging a…
  continue reading
 
The ronin were brought into the castle and taken to the training yard. After an hour, the castle taisa appeared. Reju Masaru welcomed the ronin into his ranks and explained the regimen at Closed Shell Castle. They would be brought in as new recruits, trained and mentored, and eventually given an assignment as a permanent member of the castle garris…

With the news of Setsuo's arrest, Boa, Tsume, and Kaizoku decided to travel to Closed Shell Castle. Traveling north, the ronin discovered just how pervasive the elemental blight was upon the region. It seemed that the very land itself was protesting against something. Camping out beside the road, they encountered a strange, grey wolf, staring at th…
  continue reading
 
Boa, Tsume, and Kaizoku dropped the issue of the child in front of the rest of the village, but Boa suggested speaking more about it in private with Kai’s mother, Hina. After their audience with the village elder, Boa and Tsume sought aid for the wounds. Their search brought them to the priest, Akira. Concerned about the troubling dreams he’s been …
  continue reading
 
The woman, Aguri, beckoned the ronin to have rice and tea with her. Suspicious of her, the ronin began to question Aguri. All of her answers seemed strangely convenient. Kaizoku pretended to eat the rice and Tsume flat out refused. Boa on the other hand graciously accepted the food, and hungrily bit into one of the rice balls. He immediately began …
  continue reading
 
The merchant scoffed at Tsume. “Very well,” he said. “If you want a duel, you can face my bodyguard, Boa. If you defeat him, I will consider your debt repaid.” But that wasn’t what Tsume had in mind. This wasn’t a test of honor. He didn’t want his fate decided by the kami. He wanted Naoki dead. “No,” Tsume said, “I’ll face you.” Naoki suddenly reco…
  continue reading
 
Tsume and Boa infiltrated the camp by pretending to be bandits. After speaking to a group of the thugs, they discovered that Setsuo’s son, Ichiro, had not been kidnapped at all, but had willingly joined the bandits and is now their leader. They decided to speak with Ichiro-- but not before waking up Kaizoku and bringing him along. Ichiro was a char…
  continue reading
 
Tsume, Kaizoku, and Boa were held as guests in Setsuo, the village elder’s house. The townsfolk crowded into Setsuo’s house to catch a glimpse of the ronin as they ate their evening meal. The party was introduced to the other community leaders. There was Natsumi, an outspoken and strong young woman, who seemed to act as Setsuo’s second in command. …

A terrible storm rolled in from the bay, wreaking havoc upon the land. Wind and rain battered the landscape while distant thunder warned wayward travelers. Upon some forgotten road in some distant valley walked two figures, each baring vestiges of a former life. There was Naoki, once a reputable merchant of decent wealth living in the capital city,…

This session zero includes the ronin-adapted Game of Twenty Questions from Path of Waves and gives an inside look into the choices made by the players when creating their new ronin characters: Shiroi Tsume, the "treasure hunter"; Kaizoku, the pirate with many enemies; and Boa, the corn-fed farmer.

It suddenly made sense. Buro put the pieces together. The vacant stare, the quiet disposition, the resigned attitude. The woman threatening to kill him was not Kachiko— someone who looked remarkably like her, but not her. “What’s the meaning of this?” Buro asked. The mystery woman introduced herself as Yogo Asami, Kachiko’s body double. She explain…

The leaders of the clans sat awestruck, staring at the lifeless body of Hantei 38th. The head of their celestial order was dead. “You have until tomorrow morning to lay down your arms, yield the city, and return Kachiko to me,” Shoju ordered. “I will allow one messenger from each clan to ride home and inform their leadership of what has happened,” …

Chaos erupted in the Emperor’s audience chamber. No one in attendance could believe the news they had just heard. Bayushi Kachiko and Doji Hoturi had been having a secret love affair— and she was pregnant with his child. Hantei 38th had heard all he could stomach. The order which he and his forebears had carefully crafted in this city of peace had …

The day had come. Bayushi Shoju and his army were here. Confusion ran through the city as samurai and commoners alike tried to make sense of what was happening. Waves of people tried to flee Otosan Uchi, only to be turned around by the Scorpion army which had taken control of the roads exiting the city. Tomo, Buro, Kenshi, and Akari deliberated at …

News came poring in throughout the night. Developments unfolded one after another, as the samurai of Hollow Hill waited with bated breath. The careful ettiquette and polite beureacracy of court began to fall apart. The Mantis declared war on the Lion, citing evidence which proved leaders in the Lion military ordered the surprise attack which claime…
  continue reading
 
Tomo, Buro, Kenshi, and Akari decided they needed to warn the great clans of what was coming. Kenshi traveled to the Lion Embassy, and using his new powers as a Kitsune shapeshifter, transformed into a bird and flew to Akodo Toturi’s private chamber. Appearing in the windowsill, he came to him. At first, Toturi was shocked and afraid of Kenshi’s tr…

Kenshi, Tomo, and Akari broke free of their imprisonment with the help of Tsuruchi and his Wasp samurai. As they escaped through the tunnels beneath Otosan Uchi, they found that the recent tremor had closed off several key passages. In their confusion and haste to find the surface, the samurai ventured into an unknown cave, following a strange nois…
  continue reading
 
Kenshi and the Emerald Magistrates traveled through the tunnels beneath Otosan Uchi with their captive in tow. Little did they know, their prisoner had been putting out secret messages to the saboteurs lying in wait in the caves. When Kenshi and his crew came to an especially narrow corridor, the saboteurs attacked, coming at them from both sides. …
  continue reading
 
With map in hand, Kenshi and his retinue of Emerald Magistrates began to explore the tunnels beneath Otosan Uchi. They spent hours carefully navigating its passages and caverns, learning its secrets, and making sure to not draw unwanted attention. The bard and his magistrates found a lone sentry—equipped in the same manner as the warriors who captu…

Ide Makujin and Buro arrived in the emperor’s audience chamber to arrest Bayushi Kachiko, who was in the middle of her morning briefing with the Son of Heaven. Courtiers, servants, and bodyguards looked on as Makujin and Buro put forth their case to have Kachiko arrested for conspiring against the empire. Kachiko called into question Buro’s honor a…
  continue reading
 
Tomo, Akari, and Yoshi sounded an alarm as they ran through the tunnels deep beneath Otosan Uchi. The cavern quickly filled with lightly armored soldiers clad entirely in black with swords strapped to their backs. “Stop right there,” the leader said, blocking the path. In the dim lantern light, Tomo saw countless warriors appear before him, each on…
  continue reading
 
After a heartfelt goodbye, Kenshi, Buro, Tomo, and Akari parted ways in the Ekohikei, with Kenshi and Buro traveling toward the Unicorn embassy to speak with Ide Makujin, and Tomo and Akari heading toward the Scorpion embassy to take Yoshi’s armor. Once in the Unicorn embassy, Kenshi and Buro demanded that they speak with the Emerald Champion immed…

Kenshi and Buro stood in the remains of Shosuro Izuki’s hovel. They concocted a plan to get a message to Tomo inside the city. Using a technique he learned from his Fox training, Kenshi imparted a message to Squee to find Tomo and bring him to them. Buro opened his cage, and with a blessing from the air kami, Squee flew to the Scorpion embassy on a…

The door of the shack slid open and Kenshi stood face to face with the man described at the sake house. A large, hairy man with an eyepatch over his left eye. Kenshi pretended to be a relative of one of the dead arsonists, Yuki, who was connected to the Otomo Guest House attack. Meanwhile, Buro hid behind the shack as backup. The large man quickly …
  continue reading
 
Buro sat at breakfast with Miya Okirido, Imperial Page Counter. He was an elderly samurai, who would speak long-windily about the most innocuous subjects. His slow demeanor and roundabout way of conversing incensed Buro, who felt there must be some purpose for their meeting. Frustrated, Buro pushed Okirido about Agasha Sumiko, and what he knew abou…
  continue reading
 
Kaiu Tomo stood there shocked at the words he had just heard from Isawa Ujina: “A coal stone with veins of fire sits in a wall of cerulean steel. Find the false stone and pluck it out, or the whole wall shall fall.” Tomo tried to ask Ujina about this message, but he seemed to have no recollection of it. Tomo then turned to his daughter, Isawa Kaede…
  continue reading
 
Tomo, Buro, Kenshi, and Akari attended a party celebrating the betrothal of Lion Champion, Akodo Toturi, and Isawa Kaede. The party was full of samurai from across Rokugan wishing to pay their respects to the Lion and Pheonix clans. Before arriving, Ikoma Ujiaki spoke with Kenshi in private. He reminded Kenshi of the task put before him. Ujiaki wan…

Tomo, Buro, and Kenshi attended the Tournament of Four Winds, an archery tournament held just outside of Otosan Uchi’s walls. Dozens of samurai came to prove their skill with a bow in front of spectators from all walks of life. As they approached the pitch, Tomo felt a strange yearning that he could not explain. Tomo quickly rose through the ranks …
