I am not a regular visitor to your church I confess, but our paths have crossed once or twice I seem to remember. And welcome to you Swordsman Kaijia and Swordsman Chen Xiaoshu. Be seated. I see no reason to stand on formality, although after your day in the saddle, you may wish to stand and that is fine."What could be a faint smile plays across his lips. What is definately a scowl hangs over the others brow."I am Chief Retainer Nagahama, and this is Guard Captain Sugimoto. But first, eat and drink. Time presses as usual, but not so much as to make us forget our manners."As you finish up the last of the food, Nagahama refills the cups of those who have them."I will keep this as short as possible so you can get a bath and a proper meal as soon is possible. You will go south. We need to know what is happening in the hills there. You will also carry letters to each of the village headmen. Let me show you."Out of his sleeve he pulls a scroll and partly unfurls it across the floor in front of him. "This is Karatsu castle. This is the Kuro River that you crossed as you came into town. Following it will take you to the Setsumi River, which will take you into the hills. The villages you will visit are here; Hara, Toridori, Roppongi, Otsuka and Imazu. The last, Imazu is a small mining community. The merchants in town have been concerned about the recent lack of deliveries from there. Probably it is nothing, but then again ... So you will find out."</blockquote>
