The denizens of the Drowned Village have remained with the Phoenix for long enough. Matters have begun to calm down, and with patrols returning to the city, a trek through contested territory has better chances of making it through to their destination. Nine souls must be snuck out while the prowling hunters of the Lion clan follow their scent. They are onto you samurai, you'd better be quick.

Having secured emembership in one of the monasteries in Dragon lands, the Peasants and veteran Ashigaru that were brought into the Phoenix compund get a measure of freedom before joining one of the many monastic orders of the Dragon. Samurai must sneak them out of the compound, through the city streets and then beyonf the city, evading the Lion who have been on the hunt for these wayward souls for the past few weeks.

Phoenix and Dragon players get priority. Since the Lion are the antagonists for this session, Lion clan memebers are recommended not to participate.
