On October 18th, the Wolf Fang' mages report that the attack force lead by Kikkawa Kiku has began moving south, and that Tenrou Kunagi [WolfFang] has been raiding the rear end of their column [GM: druids are so good at that it's not even funny].



(EDIT: since everyone seems to be done, I'll be advancing to mission 3 tomorrow...)

(Allied NPC page updated, which includes troop status. The only notable spellcasters are the officers right now. Assume all Leaders and Advisors have Communication Rings now, but only a few of the Lieutenants)

Total allied force composition includes:
3.5 veteran shock platoons (~140) -- they mostly fight unarmed; but very good at charging/trampling through formations (multi-target overrun)
1.5 veteran spear platoons (~60)
0.5 veteran axe platoon (~20)
6 spear platoon (~240)
3 archer platoon (~120)
2 crossbow platoon (~80)

The terrain immediately near the area is almost completely flat, and heavily wooded to the south and west. The terrain becomes much more hilly however to the north and east once you leave the castle by around a mile, and the lightly-wooded hills offer good ambushing positions. However, given the ninja units in support of the opposition, scouting is probably not something they're in lack of.

(I just noticed that Kunagi is a CR12 druid, which means yes you have access to Move Earth spell --- speaking of which, your Knowledge[geography] from earlier also informs you that there's a small river about a mile away which has a water level slightly higher than the foundation of the castle --- which actually makes it possible to divert that over to form a moat. It'll be a very time-consuming process though).

The Mouri force is still assembling at the moment. Once they go on the March within a day or two it will only take them 3-4 days to arrive. Expect battle within a week's time. Long-distance scouting and intelligence sources is currently the primary methods of gathering military data. The alliance has a few clerics and druids capable of casting Scrying and similar divination spells for gathering information, although none of them are particularly good at it; so most of the data, to this point, is gathered the conventional way.

The Mouri forces being assembled is estimated to include the following:
~700 ashigaru spears
~400 ashigaru archers
~300 samurai sword/naginata infantry
~400 veteran ninjas (half of Kiku's regiment)
Siege equipment include a dozen or so light ballistae towed on wagons, but nothing heavier. Their supply train is relatively light as usual, consistly most of light wagons; Mouri troops tend to plunder and live off the land, although the fact this expedition is in their 'own territory' made them increase the supplies carried by the forces.

The good news is that Nakakuni Castle offers a strong defensive position and was taken with virtually no damage and a full grainhouse, and the alliance has an abundance of battle-hardened warriors for leaders. The bad news is that the attackers also outnumber you 3-to-1.

Therefore, it seems prudent to put at least as much effort into preventing and countering less direct attacks as we do into strengthening the walls. To this end, we should develop specific doctrine for scouting the immediate area and guarding the walls against infiltration, and be on high alert to the point of paranoia until the immediate threat from the Mouri attack force is dealt with. If we have time, it would also be a good idea to test our defenses with tiger teams assembled from the sneakiest infiltrators among the alliance.

Information that would be useful:
Details on the status of our forces (Allied NPCs post is very out of date)
--numbers of elites, experienced troops, trained reserves, and particularly the number and power of the spellcasters in the alliance.
How many Rings of Communication or similar items do we have?
What is the terrain like in the immediate vicinity of the castle, as well as the surrounding area?
--do we have spells (Move Earth or similar) to change it if need be?
Where is the Mouri force, and how long will it take them to get from there to here?
--what resources do we have for keeping track of them? (divination spells, Zanma Gou's 'sources', skilled scouts, etc.)
Details on the composition and supply train of the strike force
--similar to last point, what resources do we have to find out unknown information?

The group is also informed of something by Terasaka (see ).

Heading to the Keep and back takes most of a day's time, so if you'd rather not come along, speak now =P

(Since this is all post-mission-interlude stuff, I'll hold off on anything else until after my event finishes...First thought is that Yuuta goes out to scout this Mouri force, if Nakakuni Castle is in fact where we are, as I assume it is.)
