Into the Wasp's Nest

The founder of the Wasp Clan, Tsuruchi, was born the bastard son of a Lion and a Scorpion. He defied both parents, stole a castle from the Scorpion, and petitioned to have his clan recognized to protect him from retaliation.

While that may have been many years ago, the Lion are not a clan to let a perfectly good grudge go to waste. Therefore, many in the Empire were stunned when the Lion Champion declared that they would no longer bear hostilities toward the Tsuruchi clan solely on the basis of history.

To further the goals of peace and goodwill, the Tsuruchi have arranged a joint archery demonstration at their castle, Kyuden Ashinagabachi. Where, surely, nothing will go wrong...

The PCs will either be delegations from other clans attending the event, or, if they are from the Tsuruchi family or ronin, will be working to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Originally launched as a trading card game in 1995, Legend of the Five Rings, or L5R is set in Rokugan, an empire roughly based on feudal Japan (with influences from other Asian cultures). The 4th edition extensively uses the dynamic roll/keep D10 system, so be sure to bring as many as you can; you may need up to 10.

I will create characters for each clan, but if you wish to bring your own, you are welcome to do so as well! Keep in mind that this is a mid-level adventure and characters should be at most Rank 3.
