Turn 1:
Young Oda Nobunaga approached the village of Gotacrosumi and the vital bridge crossing over the river of the same name.
Tadeshi the Dishonoured was heading for the crossing too, he knew if he was to stop Oda Nobunaga anywhere it would be here.
Tadeshi, throwing caution to the wind shouted for his brave men to follow and set off at a sprint for the bridge. Nobunaga fearing that this was a good place for an ambush advanced his two Ashigaru bowmen to cover the advance to the bridge. Tadeshi, thinking his men were right behind him, sprinted on (he was rolling 5 swords after 5 swords for his Solo movement!).
At last, Tadeshi made the bridge and looked behind him, his men who were nowhere in sight! Oda Nobunaga seeing Tadeshi on the bridge advanced cautiously fearing the enemy trap was about to be sprung. He shouted back to his Loyal Spearmen to join him.
Oda Nobunaga prepared to charge the enemy. Flanked by his 2 archers and knowing his spearmen were approaching from behind he poised to advance! Tadeshi braved it out and shouted insults at Nobunaga from the bridge for he could hear the shouts of his men approaching.
Oda charged forward and thrust at Tadeshi only to see the Ronin block his thrust and force him back.
Tadeshi hearing his men closing in behind him hurled a final insult and charged Nobunaga. His sword flashed through the air but Nobunaga managed to block the strike with his yari. Tadeshi stepped back in surprise.
The 2nd bowman fired an arrow at Tadeshi but it went wide of the mark.
Tadeshi smiled and an evil glint came into his eye as he hurled himself at Nobunaga using the sun glancing off his raised katana blade to temporarily blind Nobunaga so he could not block the blow. Nobunaga reeled back and went down on one knee, his men gasped, but he slowly raised himself upright feeling the blood run down from his cut scalp. An inch lower and he would be dead.
Tadeshi plays his special skill card Dirty Tricks to ensure his strike gets through.
The strike hits home!
Oda Nobunaga succeeds in a test of Honour so the fatal blow becomes an injury card and a blood drop.
Part 1 Complete. Oda Nobunaga has survived near death, but Tadeshi's men are at the bridge! (They also have first draw for part 2).
