No guards patrolling. Nobody at the palace. Stores ransacked and the dozen ships, the bushi, samurai, and new daimyo sailing away into the rising sun...Turns out, the entire daimyo-replacement thing was a HUGE con by a Pirate Lord to 'steal the city blind'. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😝" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61d.png" title="Squinting face with tongue    :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:" data-shortname=":stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> The bad guy's managed to "steal an entire city"! <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😂" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f602.png" title="Face with tears of joy    :joy:" data-shortname=":joy:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤣" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png" title="Rolling on the floor laughing    :rofl:" data-shortname=":rofl:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />Well...the PC's took other plot hooks that lead them down different paths...and allowed the fleet of "wave-men" (oriental pirates, basically) to pull off the most elaborate and profitable heists in the history of Kozakura! This "ruse" even caused the direct death of one PC...a Samurai who was given the choice to swear fealty to the new daimyo, or commit sepukku; he chose the later. The other PC Samurai refused both and became a Ronin!Absolutely AMAZING campaign result. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> PC's became obsessed with revenge at that point. ^_^Paul L.
