Here Comes Setsuna Report

General Summary

Yuuna sent a message to Rei asking for help, but Rei responded that there was a "situation" in Miketsukami and that she wouldn't be able to help for a few more days. Trying to escape the Daimyo estate, the remaining Disciples surrounded the estate and demanded that you come to the recruit barracks or the lives of Masaharu and his family would be forfeit. You returned to your hideout in the burnt Samurai barracks where Genji attuned to the Ao Bara no Ken and Vuzath attuned to Akuto Bita. Although he was able to bond with the daggers, he was overwhelmed by the crushing weight of Sakakibara's loneliness and he was overtaken by paranoia. Using the soul cage, Benkei learned that 1) Tao-Ren is being held somewhere in Tengoku 2) Agito is in Miketsukami 3) That Sayuri had gone East to carve a crest of blood 4) Hayakawa had been overrun by vegetation, disease, and strange creatures 5) That only one seal remained. You decided to accept the Disciples conditions and arrived at the barracks. Using the hostages as leverage, you were interrogated and Genji, Yuuna, and Vuzath all lost fingers. Vuzath decided to act, and cast a Darkness spell, confusing the Disciples and allowing you to break free of your binds. After you cleared the barracks of Disciples, Benkei and Vuzath worked together to bring down the approaching reinforcements. You began an evacuation, but it convincing the citizens was difficult, many of them too afraid of Setsuna to even try leaving. Speaking through the Sending Stone Setsuna attempted to contact Sakakibara, and Vuzath was seemingly able to convince her that he was Sakakibara. The evacuation attempts continue as time ticks away.
