"No, Kyuzo-san, it could take a week to get him on his feet, and obviously we don't have so much time.

Kajij approches the bandit and murmurs a prayer to the water kami to heal this man, even if he's unworthy, because they need to speak with him, then lays his hands on the bandit's chest while a noise like pouring rain can be heard.

Michiba will go up to the guards and say "I am Tsuruchi Michiba and my compainions and I are the acting Yoriki of this villiage by order of Gunso-Sensei Basho! We have come to question the prisioner. Has anyone inquired about him since we brought him in?"

 

[Tokiwong]

The ashigaru replies sharply to Michiba, "Hai Tsuruchi-sama, no one has come to inquire about the bandit, though he is quite the spectacle."

Kaiji is able to heal the Bandit, Path to Inner Peace, the bandit lifts his head quickly looking around and struggling briefly before resiging himself to a grisly fate.

The bandit spits, "Ack Samurai, you wish to do me harm! The kami aid you, but they aid ur cause as well, the Black Fan will be victorious! Your tyranny will be all for naught!"

He hacks then, coughing, "Though my throat is parched..." he says weakly.

"Is there someplace we can take this man so we can interrogate him?" Michiba asks the guards.

"Is there someplace we can take this man so we can interrogate him?" Michiba asks the guards.

"Hai Tsuruchi-sama, there is an empty house down the road," he gestures to it standing aside a tall plum tree, "if you need privacy lord, that should help yes?"

 

[Lichtenhart]

As they bring the bandit to the empty house, Kaiji asks him with an indiffferent look "The kami aid your cause as well? What do you mean? And whose tyrannny?"

The bandit grumbles as you lead him into the empty house, he replies to Kaiji, "The Kami will honor our just cause, to free us from the tyranny of the samurai caste, we will rock heaven itself with our justice, the Black Fan will be strong!"

 

[Yellow Sign]

Michiba will motion the two guards to come with the group. "Do you know this man? Is he from this villiage?

"Who told you so? I don't think you can speak with the kami. Yet you call the rule of the samurai caste tyranny. Tell me, have you ever looked beyond the wall? The samurai are there to defend the people like you from the horrors that lie there. If you overthrow the samurai, who will defend you? The Black Fan? How did they earn your trust?"

 

[Tokiwong]

Michiba will motion the two guards to come with the group. "Do you know this man? Is he from this villiage?

The guards follow, one speaks the other stays silent, "He is a local, a drunkard by all acounts by the name of Po, dissapeared a few weeks back, there have been others, just leaving town. Looks like they turned to a life of banditry, yes?"
