New Stretch Goal!

Of course sneak attack unlocks means we need some revised stretch goals. Let take a look.

Some Kitsune are ill-suited for life beneath their clan’s shadowed trees. They dream of a wider world, and long to see its wonders. The clan is often sad to see these wanderlust-struck members leave, but they never lament the departure of the dark Kitsune. Like their namesake kami, many Kitsune have a mischievous streak that can make them both excellent company and annoying companions. Some, however, display a malicious, hurtful bent to their tricks. The clan deals sternly with these so-called dark Kitsune. When one or more of them chooses to leave the clan’s territory, either voluntarily or otherwise, they are rarely missed. They take their clan’s skills in herbalism and magic with them, of course, and most parlay these talents into lucrative employment. They rarely have trouble finding warriors willing to pay their sometimes outlandish fees.

There is no denying the divine connection with the land that the people of Kageima have. It is said that man and Oni first met as enemies, but soon developed a grudging respect, the Oni for their size and strength, and men for their technology and tenacity. Many Oni, however fickle, will join a team to honor agreements, to demonstrate their strength, or just for the fun of it. They may not be the most stealthy, but their effect on the enemy is remarkable.

Most of the monks that wander the roads and trails of Kagejima are peaceful, as befits their order. Marked by the great wicker baskets that cover their heads, and heralded by the haunting sounds of their shakuhachi flutes, these itinerant mystics bring a calm demeanor and wise words wherever they go. This does not make them defenseless, however, as the arrogant or ignorant who believe otherwise quickly discover. Some monks choose to leave their calm lives and put the magical, medical, and martial skills they acquire in the monastery to use for various groups around the island. Only the basest such men fight for money, though, as many will accept food or supplies, but no other material payment. Instead, they often demand favors, prayers or offerings at certain shrines, or unusual observances. For such simple currency as this, the bewitching sounds of their flutes presage something more than calm conversation.

Time to start training, we have much more ninja goodness on its way!
