We were all somewhat afraid as while we had confidence in our power we knew we were no match for the entire village with its high powered rulers. Going in we knew that our mission was to disrupt Rodrigo's plans. Unable to mount a frontal assault we worked to sow dissent and make them fight each other instead. Sure we killed a few minor bandits publicly, but this only solidified our position as bandits and did nothing to further our goals. Our first real victory was my being able to spy on Viktor and getting information back to Lord Jayku. Looking at other ways we could be of use we decided to see if we couldn't get the varrious factions to have even less trust in each other. Additionaly If we could take out a field commander this would be good as well, but this would be more difficult to pull off without getting caught.Mongo's friendship with the Yobanjin was a good first step as it gave us information about the distrust between them and the Inu. After the Inu lost thier initial friendly fight we decided to see if we couldn't rouse some problems. Ming's(Mindra's) ability to summon animals proved very valuable as such an attack could easily made to seem to come from the Inu. The Yobanjins nighttime counter strike was on the high side of what we had expected. Dissent between factions had begun.I had my own ideas about sowing dissention as well. If we could bring ill will between the Cyricians and Viktors more lawful group then there might be troops withheld from the battle to protect thier assets in the rear. So far this line of thought has proved less than successful.Our second idea of taking out a commander has gone surprisingly well. There was great personal intrest in taking out the elf as he seemed quite formidable from the stories we had heard. Initially we were looking at killing him ourselves, but another idea came to us that we though we should try instead. Why risk our lives and cover when someone else could do our dirty work for us. Thus our idea of making the elf out to have insulted Viktor and Rodrigo. Certainly denials would come, but hopefuly Rodrigo might have him offed anyway to prove a point. The public denial was not what we expected though. It seems that either Viktor had had been on the losing side in his past and/or the elf wanted take him on personaly. Either way we were left with a spectacular success as at least one of the top dogs was going down. The idea of striking after the duel was popular amongst several of our party. I was against it though as I value my life (paticularly after Ryoko Owari) and blowing our cover in this god forsaken village was not my idea of a sane plan. The discussion was tabled though and a decision to see how the scene played out before a final decision was made. While there were smiles amoungst our part when Rodrigo walked in, but his bodygaurd soon dampened thier hopes. While I wasn't going to mention that I was friends with Yoenki, I did try to be even more inconspicuous in hopes she wouldn't recognize me. While my first loyalty was to the group and Lord Jayku it did pain me to think I might have to fight Yoenki, and even Viktor was starting to find a soft space in my heart. While the battle raged I secretly rooted for Viktor to win. When Viktor did win our group rejoyced in the death of the elf both personaly and as part of our mission. Now of course the question was now what. Would we strike while they were weak or wait for another opportunity. Glances and quiet grunts began to be passed around our table. The choice was upon us.Mir</blockquote>
