They were battering down the doors...They were in the way in! The rebels, clearly, had sensed that something had changed...And the peasants, as they say, were revolting! In more ways than one...<br/><br/>Saeko took stock of the ruination around her - This place was thoroughly, utterly<em>thrashed</em>...Laid waste to, both by dark energies and by the brief but shattering conflict that'd taken place! There was nothing left of their former Lord, except a scrunched-up ball of flesh and bone that was very, very dead indeed...!<br/><br/>Her mission was complete. She'd uncovered the source behind the corruption that'd fallen on the land, and dealt with it - Though perhaps not<em>exactly</em>in the way she was expected to! Her black-lacquered armor clung to her curves, the fearsome crest of her kabuto helm glinting in the light...Something told her, however, that the Daimyo would<em>hardly</em>be happy if she left the place descending into a revolt-!<br/><br/>Even as she heard the first footfalls on the bridge below, the hammer of fists and tools against the gates, Saeko drew a deep breath - She'd look around, for the Lord's fallen banner, now battered and tattered...And she'd take it up, with her sword in her other hand! Her head held high, every inch the proper samurai, she'd ascend the battlements...<br/><br/>A moment, to steel herself...Her voice pitched to carry, as clear as a clarion-call!<br/><br/>"People of Yinjin!" she'd call, raising the Lord's banner high - Her lovely features composed, her form silhouetted against the setting sun! "Hear the word of your Daimyo!"<br/><br/>If this didn't work, she was in *so* much trouble. But if it<em>did</em>-<br/><br/>"Your Lord has been found wanting, and he has been punished for his crimes. In the name of the Daimyo, I - Saeko Amakusa - have executed the traitor!" For a moment, she wished she had his head to brandish...But the banner would do well enough! "<em>Give thanks</em>- The corrupt and the unworthy have been cast down, by the will of your Daimyo!"<br/><br/>She let them digest this, for a moment...Before she flung the banner down, into the mud below the castle!<br/><br/>"Your dedication and your loyalty do you credit - Lay down your arms, and return to your homes, for this is ended!"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls!</div><div class="spoiler_body">Charisma: 0/3<br/><br/>Target Number: 5<br/><br/>Roll(2d6)+0:<br/>1,6,+0<br/>Total:7</div></div>
