Grit-covered scouts fresh from the road, and ‘everyday’ rice farmers with a surprising number of knives hidden on their bodies. Ualan kept an eclectic council, but they were all unified by their discretion and reliability. Seated around a broad table, Ualan regarded his spies carefully. More than mere tools, they were the threads which made up his web of informants – an integral part of it, anyway.<br/><br/>“There has been a change of plans,” Ualan said bluntly, without any preamble. “I know our orders were to expand the Clan’s holdings, but an Oshiro army has been sighted marching in force towards our borders. I’ve been informed that Lady Oshiro’s infamous attack dog is leading their main force: we'll be dispatching men to reinforce Kogatana’s position and drive them off.”<br/><br/>Ualan drummed his fingers on the table, making no attempt to hide his frown.<br/><br/>“I find it troubling that Lady Oshrio herself has not been accounted for. Maybe it’s misdirection… but even so, we can’t afford to gamble away whole swathes of territory just to spite them. We march for the border; if Lady Oshiro resurfaces in our lands, we’ll split our forces and meet her in battle, otherwise we’ll assist Kogatana against the enemy’s main force.”<br/><br/>((Actions unaltered: edit for flavour text only))<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">There's a bit of uncertainty regarding how the rest of this turn will play out, regarding everything from pending negotiations, whether Lazarus needs to edit his actions, and whether another province gets attacked. In order to keep things moving along, I thought I'd post asap, albeit with a few contingencies.<br/><br/>Please note that Defend actions don't need to specify a territory to protect against Invasions, only a Raid:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><span class="bbc_u">Defend:</span>  Be ready to defend any of the Clan's territories, but designate a certain territory to station yourself in.  When a raid would succeed on a territory you're stationed in, roll Warfare and try to exceed the enemy's roll (+2 to every dice if defending castle).  If your roll was higher, it forces their raid to fail. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></div></div>
