Hiruma Sakura slipped down on her rope, dressed in grey and blue clothing, mon and face muddy. She leaned down and made an appropriate Crab-ish grunt. She got news, and it was time to act on it.

She started moving towards the camp of Steel and Slaughter.

Sara slips through the no-man's land between castle and army and manages to duck behind a group of ashigaru as they're distracted with torturing a wild dog. There doesn't seem to be much order to the enemy camp, and groups of samurai and ashigaru wander it in a seemingly haphazard manner, grumbling to themselves or shouting at others. The general mood was unpleasant and unhappy, as if violence could break out at any moment.

Sara glanced around the area, frowning in Crab, before she started moving purposefully, trying to walk around and gather an idea from the layout of the camp.

Tents were tossed up here and there in small clusters, loose pockets of order. Many of the spirits seemed to be asleep, but the encampment was far from still or quiet.

Sara let out grunting noises as she observed the mess that was the camp. This is what the Mats general signed up for? Ugh, disgusting.

She glanced around, looking for someone who might be in charge, or whatever passed for in charge here.

Sara's acting classes covered a lot of things.

Enemy camp layouts were sadly not among them.

Instead, she decided to look for a guard that didn't look like it wanted to ravage AND eat someone at the same time. Hopefully.

A short distance away, an old Crab samurai was standing watch over a group of ashigaru who were filling in latrines. It was difficult to make out too much in the darkness, but he didn't seem to have the glow of a returned spirit to him.

Hiruma Sakura, IMPORTANT bushi and Gunso of the Sneaking Squadron approached the old man.

"Oy. The shitters coming along?" She added yet another grunt.

"'Bout as quick as expected," the older man grunts, arms crossed as he watches them.

Sakura stood next to him, mimicking the posture, pretending to be a Crab veteran pretending to be a Crab old person.

"Finally. I swear, the only people who can get a decent shit here are the pancies we took hostage."

Grunt.

"Sakura" was not the only person who had business in the camp tonight. Chen, dressed in all dark grey with cloth wrapped about his face moved near the camp. He was a shadow gliding through the space between the castle and the besieging army camp. He moved around the camp looking for where prisoners might be being kept. He brought along with him four knives and several vials of poison.

This mission was mostly scouting but if opportunity arose he would like to be prepared.

The Crab grunts as he glances sideways towards Sara. "Yer not lookin' familiar."

There doesn't seem to be much order or organization to the camp, just a bunch of angry ashigaru being bossed around by angrier samurai. Shouting and yelling are commonplace. Tents are situated in small clusters, and though there are still samurai active in the camp, the majority seem to be sleeping.

"Been on the inside of pansyville." Grunting she eyed him up and down. "On his Majesty's orders."

She spat on the ground. "Fucking disgrace they are." She shook her head. "I should go give my report." She glanced out at the disorganized camp. "How in Benten's hairy balls do you even find anything here?"

He looked at the camp in faint disgust, not sure what he expected but this was a travesty, how could this army hold up against a proper rokugani force? There seemed to be no discipline or organization. If this was the kind of thing they had to look forward to under the Steel Chrysanthemum's rule it only affirmed his distaste for the man.

Chen looked about trying to find something to lead him to the prisoners.

The older samurai spits on the ground. "Watch yer fuckin' mouth," he grumbles, his tone quiet but very serious. "The samurai in there are just servin' their lord and tryin' not to get killed. So if I hear you speak ill of them again, I'll break off your arm and shove it down your throat. We clear?"

There didn't seem to be any signs or directions towards wherever the prisoners might be held, nor did any of the samurai or ashigaru roving the camp seem to be acting in a way to signal that they were traveling in that direction.

Hiruma Sakura, Gunso of the Stalking Death Squad, eyed him back. "Good samurai ain't worth anything if the leadership can't be arsed to wipe their own ass without heroes stepping in. I feel bad for them." She let out another grunt worth two GigaHida-s. "Yer right though. Can't fault good samurai for shitty lords."

"What about the prisoners? Any worth anything?"

"Had one up on a banner while back," he replies, his gaze turning back to the ashigaru. "Gotta be some reason to string someone up like that."

"Didn't see her when I was coming by." She shrugged. "Any idea where can I find them? Figure I might as well check out who all the fuss was about."

The Crab snorts. "If you don't know where to find 'em, it's cause you're not supposed to know where to find 'em. Ain't no Imperial Menageri."
