Thanks again to Stu and Mike for getting me into the L5r system and Setting Via their Actual play casts.
I've started a L5r Game, where Most of the players are Playing Lion Characters from a Vassal family to the Akodo, the Katai.
Basic Story line Comes from an Old Lion Vassal Family, Shimizu, who fell into corruption via the use of Maho, So the Lion purged the family, and salted/ burned their lands. Well, some of them escaped. and one of the descendants of the Family now wants revenge. So she is going to attempt to start a war between the Lion and Crane, and use that as cover to march an undead host to the Lion Capital from Otori's Shame(the old Shimizu lands, which are not patrolled anymore) and kill they Daimyo and his Family.
Few plot points:
The Maho witch Hires some bandits/ Ronin to slaughter some villagers, and pays off the local eta to keep the bodies, rather than burn then.
Impersonate a Crane Courtier to make a trade deal with the Lion, selling them grain at a discount, so her Son can study under the Lion's Battle Masters, learn their tactics, and lead the undead army against the Capital The Grain is Tainted, and should cause the troops to become ill, hopefully weakening them against the Crane.
The witch also plans on using the grain as reason the lion would declare a war on the Crane over the insult/ Dishonor of the trade deal.
The Party had their First session last Saturday, and dealt with the bandits and their Leader. They also received news that their Daimyo had visitors at his home, Some actual Crane, and they needed to return.
The party make up:
Katai Asuki, Beastmaster school
Katai Kenchi, Akodo Bushi School, and partly Courtier trained
Katai Tadao, Mastu berserker school
Katai Shiro, Who trained at the Hida Bushi school
and
Hitoshi, a Former Mantis Tsuruchi Archer, now Ronin
Thats what I've got sofar for the game, If anyone sees some plot holes, or any ideas to improve the story, please feel free to mention them!
