When forces from Unicorn enter northern Kiamu provience, Scorpion forces in that provience will retreat leaving only token resistance to slow up the forces. We do not intend on fighting Unicorn over the lands of the north.

The retreating forces will continue to burn anything that they currently possess but will not try and fight the unicorn forces on their land.


Message to the Unicorn Clan Champion

"As you have choosen to defend those on your borders we respect your opinion and will back out of the Northern Kiamu provience. We have made our point that we will not be subverted by the likes of the small clan. At this point, we are willing to back off their northern provience."

My southern forces will continue to deal with the Monkey clan that attacked me.
 

Simultaneously two forces are on the move now. The Unicorn move into the Hare clan territory, and find that the Scorpion Clan has burned these two territories down to the ground. There is no remnants of any village, and in the few days they had to be thourogh, you can tell that they did everything possible to ensure that their goals are accomplished.

Both the Northern and Southern Hare territories have been obliterated, leaving only a small family of escaped clan members. They stand now to have absolutely no industrialization or active power. They have been obliterated, and it appears that unless the clan receives some support, they may get wiped out into history.

The trouble is double for the Scorpion. During your retreat, the Unicorn manage to catch a few active units trying to ensure that the sabatoge of the Hare clan gets completion, but most of these units escape. The Unicorn have no trouble conquering empty and unguarded lands for the Hare clan.

Serpenteyes take notice:

Suddenly, out of Otosan Uchi, a large force of men covered in the markings of the soldiers of the burning sands make themselves visible. They come into your territory quickly, and fast. They come on foot, traveling under the camoflage of darkness, invading your territory. Etsu province is hardly able to prepare for the surprise attack, and they suffer some casualties. Roughly 2/5ths of the defending provincial army is destroyed almost instantly, and although any cities and territories inside the province manage to hold out against the quick hit and run, the province falls under the control of the invading burning-sands soldiers.

It is unclear where they came from, and whispers suppose that this attack has been in the works for some time, and involved a great deal of tactical support to pull off. Etsu province comes underneith control of the invaders for the time being, despite the fact that they are holding back from an all out invasion.
 

Puzzled as they are by the military action right on their door the Imperial Province sends 5 PL to investigate whats going on in the Etsu province. If the Lion wish them to leave, they depart immediately if not they will assist with the investigations and see if any hostile designs on the Imperial Territories/Capital are intended.
 

If the Lion accept their assistance, the Phoenix will send the Elemental Legions, all four of them,as quickly as possible, to flank the Burning Sands troops.

We will, if the Imperial families give their consent, send 2 PL, taken from the nearest province, of shugenja and yojimbo, to Otosan Uchi to research the sudden appearance of the gaijin warriors.
 

The burning sands soldiers are gone by the sunrise of the morning they attacked. They retreated by an unknown method, and you find the province is secure again. Apparently the Lion clan did not drive them out, and did not have the desire to risk war.

Rumors circulate that mayhaps the men from the Burning Sands have disguised themselves in Lion and Imperial territory, but this rumor is completely unfounded on anything that anyone can prove.
 

Scorpion will send 2 PL from its Yogo family to help investigate what happened at Otosan Uchi. They will use their Air magic to see what they can discover in the assistance of the other clans to figure out whats going on.
 

The Imperial Provinces immediately launch a complete invesigation in their lands looking for even a trace of these disguised soldiers.
 

The Phoenix strengthen their vigilance at the northern and southern borders, on the watch for the gaijin invaders.

Divination magic will be utilized to determine the whereabouts and nature of the troops that assaulted the Lion.

Your results are as such: Blocked. Your detect spells work (exception: Detecting information spells), but your other divinations suffer. You don't detect any magic has been used at all in order for the Burning Sands forces to perform their quick strike and retreat. Apparently all magical energy that was needed for this operation was devoted to blocking anyone that wanted to scry or detect information. Nobody can find the invaders, not even the fox clan who has soldiers up and down Otosan Uchi looking for the enemy.
