Tokugawa Honour and Reputation 81

.

The Autumn Season finally came to an end.

The bloodiest battle of the Sengoku Jidai era had just taken place in Awaji, with over 2000 casualties on each side, and saw Tokugawa forces come away victorious. Sanada Yukimura, soon to be legendary samurai had been one of the innumerable casualties.

Oda Nobutada perished protecting his father's escape and Forsythio-sama was captured after the battle. The Oda faction was all but destroyed with the lonely Nobunaga now confined within Setsu province.

Meanwhile in the north, Takeda watched events unfold. Tokugawa had taken most of Oda's dominions, but had suffered many losses in the process. The Takeda armies, on the other hand, were at the ready and rested.

The first snows would soon whiten the land.

Its Winter Season, 1468



Subterfuge characters, you will receive information on your movement and actions during the next hours.

Day Phase will last until Thursday at 4 am EST, to the tune of 43 hours from this post.

It is Day

It appears systolic is banned (?), I cannot debrief him at this point. If anyone knows what happened to him and how long is he banned for I might look into subbing him out or something.

Many thanks

Edit: He is currently in Awaji province, I will allow Sun Tzu to move him around for the time being, and given that Systolic had the "Network Master" ability and he could post and read the clan thread even when infiltrated I can post whatever systolic-san learns in this thread directly.

I really, really hope Takeda honors our deal, though it seems suicidal for them to do so.

I have infiltrated Tosa, just in time to watch Bobman-san's army march in.

I will be going to scout Setsu tomorrow and then moving into the Takeda occupied lands.

Night Phase Action Report

The nights were getting significantly colder, Awaji was snowed and Tokugawa Hidetada had grown fond of the beautiful landscape by now. He was now overseeing the supply lines to Tosa and was rather idle most of the time. Oda was all but destroyed, and Takeda remained friendly for now.

His forces were a modest 0/1/0/2 but the province was mostly pacific and at ease under the Tokugawa banners. The favourable reputation made pacifying provinces a breeze, it wasn't uncommon for the peasants to go out of their way to bow at his feet and the feet of his officers.

Given the circumstances it's easy to understand how security at his encampment grew lighter overtime.

One evening, two fishermen came in with a present for the Tokugawa officers, it was fresh fish from Kasumigaura lake. The fishermen were deeply grateful for having been released from the opressing Oda forces. They were invited to stay for the nightly meal as was customary when someone offered food as a gift and they happily accepted.

Dinner went uneventfully and the fish was a welcome change of pace by Hidetada and his officers, they ate fish and drank sake generously and all were merry.

Afterwards, the fishermen were invited to stay for the night in a guest house inside the encampment and Hidetada retired to his personal quarters.

The following morning, Hidetada was late for morning tea, which was uncharacteristic of him. His assistant went to wake him up, when he moved the running door he saw abundant blood on the white carpet. Hidetada lied dead with his own wakizashi deeply buried in his chest.

The two fishermen had left before dawn, and the clothes they wore the previous day were found hidden in some bushes next to the road leading out from the encampment.

Hidetada Tokugawa (filthy vermin) has been killed, he may rejoin the game the next Day Phase as a newly appointed general, or rookie Ninja or Shinobi.

Filthy vermin may post and read the Tokugawa thread this turn as a personal advisor to Tokugawa Ieyasu, without any special abilities

I think sticking around as a bodyguard is a better idea for now.

okey dokey, which province are you in?

i didnt understand fully maybe, but did thingysteam just assassinate filthy??

We're actually not in as bad a position as I thought.

Takeda should have roughly 50% more troops than us but we have 12 provinces to his 7 and the ability to train a lot of units quickly.

We just need to avoid getting in any battles for a couple turns.

We don't know which clan it was.

Sun, I'm thinking Leonid and I should move to Awaji to consolidate our forces? Are those infantry in Wakasa heading west?

Why don't we consolidate everything in Totomi or somewhere like that?

Don't we want to protect the troop buildings in Awaji? Obviously we can't handle their whole army, but it's better than nothing.

The only thing we need to protect is our troops and characters. We have enough troop production buildings that we can't afford to use all of them anyway.

have Hitaro move to Mushashi

move to Tosa

where should i go/

2 ninjas?

*Mod note: The death of Hidetada has been kept as secret as possible for now, no one needs to know that Tokugawa suffered such a loss, with the adverse effects on morale, and the increased risk of attempts on Ieyasu.

If you want to make it mainstream knowledge, ie: give him a glorious funeral I will, but for now, only the assasin/s and Tokugawa officers know.
