The Headman - A Masako Tale.

Clan Adachi was betrayed by a conspiracy. Lady Masako lives only to destroy those responsible for her family's slaughter. Anyone who dares prey on a samurai family must be brought to justice, so Jin has agreed to join her hunt.

I was already around the Golden Temple and Lady Masako was waiting for me inside so I was goin towards her but I noticed this man on my way who gave me information about some peoples went to fight the Mongols and I just got a new side quest to take care of that I'd try later.

After reaching Lady Masako, Jin asked her if we got list of her family's killers and she said that she found Sadao at the top of the list who is the Headman of Kuta Farmstead.

Masako mentioned that Sadao is a deceitful snake but his brother Hachi is a fool who just passed by the temple carting food for the refuges. So we started running fast so we can get to Hachi who should lead us to Sadao.

After reaching a spot, we had to look for Hachi around and I noticed him with card a bit ahead of us. Then we had to trail him from a far being undetected.

When we were trailing Hachi, he was talking to his horses and saying they'd be on their own if they run into Mongols.

After a moment of walk, Hachi met some bandits on the way and after a little conversation, Hachi handed the bandits a note and mentioned he'd stop here again at the usual time.

Then Masako suggested me to forget the wagon and follow the horses which I started doing. I heard them saying the note is more important than their lives as the Headman would kill them if they fail to deliver.

We followed the bandits to a woodcutter's house that was guarded by bandits and Masako was mentioning this place belong to one of Sadao's cousins who must be hiding there.

As Jin was mentioning they're not sure that the cousin was there, Masako went out of the cover to find out and I called for a stand off where I took down the first man with style.

The second one first got a flying kick from me and then I took him down brutally and then I started taking down other bandits around.

When I was done taking down some archers there, I noticed a spearman below me so I jumped on him in trying to sword him down but he blocked the attack though he couldn't survive for a long time doing this.

There was this last bandit who was an archer and he's been attacking me with arrows for a while. I decided to push him out of the roof but Jin was acting weird when I was commanding him for a push so I used the sword for a normal kill.

We didn't found Sadao's cousins we were looking for so Masako said she'd make the man talk who was hiding inside the house but Jin said he'd try first as Masako could go for vengeance as she did before.

There was this woman inside who was shit scared and Masako said she's Hina, Sadao's wife. Hina said her husband his innocent adding that the Mongols killed Masako's family. Then Masako decided to take Hina to her estate and the quest came to an end.

That's all for now. I'll write about more of this story again soon. Be safe till we meet again.
Au revoir/Goodbye.
