Reports of Oda-kun's attack had reached Magoichi early in the morning. He rode furiously, not bothering to stop to eat, drink or rest. He spurred his horse forward and continued that way until he reached the edges of his clan's borders.
Immediately, he could hear the clanging of swords, men yelling and screaming. The fights of war and combat resounded across the hills and grasslands in a symphony of blood and death.
Oda-kun... The bastard, Magoichi thought.
"Hiya!" Urging his horse, he released his tight hold on the reins, lept off and grabbed his bow all in one smooth, swift movement. He was the perfect distance away from Oda-kuns soldiers - several hundred yards - as they sieged the walls of the Saika clan stronghold.
With a wild war cry, Magoichi nocked an arrow and fired it at one soldier after another. The only thoughts on his mind were thoughts of blood and war - protecting his clan no matter the cost.
Even if that cost ended with his death.

War takes its toll on anyone, no matter how well they had been doing so far. You must choose one of the following options:
1) Your people are unhappy and they are revolting. They believe you are harsh and cruel, and ruling your clan wrong. You must solve this, and have a few options on how you solve it.
- You slaughter them all
- You pay them no mind
- You try to negotiate with them and either give in to their demands, or ignore the demands
- You fight them and take most of them prisoner
2) A disease outbreak has spread in several villages, and now has reached your army. Men are weak and dying, and even more are deserting. You must find a way to stop the disease from spreading, or all will be lost. You have a few options.
- You can quarantine all the sick in hopes of keeping the disease among them
- You can let the disease run its course
- You can call in the most advanced healers in your ranks (if you have the monks, you may use them; if you're married you may contact your spouse's clan for aid).

Kyou Asai, you have heard word that Nobunaga Oda is destroying the Saika clan and can choose whether to aid them or not. If you aid them, Magoichi will be a PERMANANT soldier in your ranks, giving you extra help in future battle tasks.
Kairi Saito, Ishida Mitsunari is still with you, and will provide you aid to resolve whatever problem comes your way, however you wish.
Hirotei Imagawa, Hideyoshi has come to you with an offer from Nobunaga Oda. Your loyalty to him by helping him destroy the Saika clan in exchange for 1,500 soldiers and Hideyoshi as a PERMANENT fighter in your ranks, helping you in future battle tasks.
Noaki Hojo, you remember Mitsuhide's promise that if you need anything, he would be happy to help. If you choose to send him a message, he will listen and help you, if you help Nobunaga Oda destroy the Saika clan. This would ensure that Mitsuhide would fight alongside your army, PERMANENTLY, helping you in future battle tasks.
Ren Sanada, you have heard of the Oda clan destroying the Saika clan and can also choose to aid them or not. Should you aid them, Magoichi will be a PERMANANT soldier in your ranks, giving you extra help in future battle tasks (yes it's the same as Kyou's perk, but the help in battle tasks will be different if you both choose to do this).
