Hammer and Forge
On their way to Plum Blossom, the party decided to get a lay of how things faired in the town of Komatsu. What they found was heavy occupation. The people are demoralized, but have not yet been decimated nor their town put to the torch like in Azamo Bay. Yet.
The party does want to Liberate the town, but Lord Sakai does not want a repeat of the incident at Castle Kaneda. If they commit to the fight, there can be no retreat, or the people will suffer.
