WW 217: Princess Mononoke Day Four

Mod Note: Win Conditions have changed significantly. Please read the current win conditions tab below

San gave Yakul a pet along his horns. “What a noble creature you are. If you follow this boy there must be a reason”. She looked over the Wanderer Ashitaka with interest. He carried the stink of Iron Town and the message of Iron Town, but he still had his mind. “The Lady Eboshi is open to talks. She regrets the damage to the forest. And she thinks there is a far greater threat. Humans included”. San quietly listened, scarce believing. Eboshi was the enemy and yet she had stayed her blade when San had been caught infiltrating her fortress.

San’s musing were cut short by a cadre of war horns. The sounds of the Emperor’s personal guard. At the edge of vision they saw an Iron Town scout in his watch tower move to light a flame to war the town be cut down by arrow fire. The Town would be taken unawares

Copy has died. He was a Citizen of Iron Town

San made her choice. “Yakul fetch my mother, boy fetch your Lady.” She catapulted herself down the ridge, a ball of fur, blades, and skill to slow the armies advance.

Ashitaka sprinted along the ridge with demonic speed. His voice ringing out for the town to arm. Eboshi met him at the gates. “She is with us but she is alone”. The warriors of Iron Town dashed towards the conflict in the valley. Eboshi and Ashitaka at the lead.

And with and ear-shattering howl Moro emerged from the edge of the forest with her children as well to join the fray. Bull-rushing into the forces, scattering them left and right, and snapping them to pieces in her jaws. Her oft-time enemy, Eboshi weaved in and out of her path of destruction slaying those who survived her onslaught with deft blade. But just as they cleared the Emperor’s forces a party of spirits broke from the tree line. Called by the violence they rushed madly as they sought vengeance on all those in their path. Cutting Eboshi and Moro off from San

The Wanderer was the last chance. Desperate, Ashitaka gave in to his corruption for the briefest instant. Raw power flowed from his arm, to his bow, to his arrows. His shots decapitating their targets in an unrelenting show of force and skill. But it was all for naught. By the time the Wanderer reached San, she had already been overwhelemed

Greenwitch has died. She was San: Leader of the Wolf Clan

Staring at the funeral cairn that had been raised Ashitaka observed Moro and Eboshi. “Her death should not be in vain.” he said. “Let it not be in vain” Moro and Eboshi stood silent. But their mutual conflict had faded, their eyes now unclouded by hate. “Together?” Eboshi asked. “For her” was Moro’s reply

The Wolf Clan and Iron Town factions have been united. They now share a win condition

Note: Death Flip Write-ups in my Game are Thematic. Twilight and Day death flips will not have relevance to who caused the death mechanically
