Emi - It's too dark on the roof to make out what is written on the scroll, but by descending into the building you came up through you can read it. There is a list of items on it, which sound similar to the ones described by the Crane merchant back at the inn. As you read, you see it gives the names and house address of the three Cranes, along with three other addresses you do not recognise. The Cranes address has been circled.<br/><br/><br/>The bandit stares from one to another as you speak, wilting under your glares. He jerkily nods agreement, and speaks. "We were hired to find the Crane and steal their swords. The man that hired us, he was scared. Very scared, though he tried to hide it. He wanted the swords bad. I ... I think he muttered something about one of them being awakened. I just had a bad feeling about it all. I should have listened to my gut and left."<br/><br/>((OOC - Just in case you're not aware, in Rokugan, a magic item is one whose spirit has been awakened))<br/><br/><br/>Akane, your strike slices into the bandit, who screams in pain. He staggers under the blow, but does not fall, instead striking back at you. You turn his strike with your own blade, letting it pass harmlessly aside. Round 3, you still have initiative.
