With the help of Mercenary Corporal Torrak Keres enough a me mates was rounded up for me to accomplish my Command Task. I chose the Bushido Dojo located on Homare-Jima, one a the Tokuno Islands as the target for our hunt. I'd heard word that the Ronins and some ninja were attacking settlers to the south of their Dojo.....seemed like a good place for a raid.
Torrak, Kal and Raven meet me at the barracks where we prepared for the hunt, we'd be joined on site by Aliryl & Jon almost right after we arrived, after checking our kits we marched to the minoc moongate and made our way to Homare-Jima. The Bushido Dojo is located ta the north of the gate, in the middle a some thick woods.
We quickly set off northwards and almost immediately after enterin' the woods we was set upon by a few Ronin and a Elite Ninja. T'was a tough fight, ain't no shame in admittin' them ronin are some fierce warriors, and the woods seemed ta be swarmin' wit 'em, but we stuck tight and everyone kept a good eye on each other (only had one or two instances the whole hunt where someone got knocked).
We caught up wit' Aliryl and Jon in the woods and continued towards the Dojo. We meet some resistance in the front courtyard, but nay as heavy as it had been in the woods....that would change.
I placed a covian banner in their courtyard.....seemed like a good reminder fer them, next time they decided ta pick on some defensless farmers..and wot not.
We all made are way into the main structure of the Dojo, and thats when the real fun started! Was kinda like knockin' down a hornets nest...damned ronin and ninjas were coming from every direction, but once again everyone kept in a tight formation, healed their mates and bashed the hell outta them ronin and ninjas!
It took awhile before we got a break from their attacks at which point it was decided we had enough gold for the task, and had also made a impression on the locals...so we fought our way back through the woods and ta the gate, where we found a freshly placed Yewish banner...so we placed a nicer lookin' Covian banner next ta it!
We all headed through the gate and found another
sheep-lovers yewish banner at the Minoc gate. The others went ahead ta the barracks while Aliryl and I begun placin' another banner fer Cove....Aliryl said she'd report ta ye about that incident.
I made me way back to the Barracks and complimented everyone on how well they fought and thanked them all fer helpin' me with me task!
The loot was divided and Corporal Keres helped me square away the gold for the coffers.
10,000 gold for the task
another 33,200 donated by the above mentioned!
