When we last left our "heroes"...
The town of Renga Murai is in disrepair, stones and bricks strewn across the street. Bodies lay where they had fallen, and the fires had spread unchecked... though the light of the fire allowed a glint of light to reflect off of a small scroll that had fallen from the armor of the bandit's horseback leader.
Bound with an obsidian seal - obsidian known to be the corrupt, bloody form of the more holy material, jade - carved in the image of a spider. The note was written in a language that few could understand - a language that hurt the eyes of those who looked upon it.
However, the signature was clear as day, a name that - even if unknown to those in the group - sent a chill down each spine. A name that many dare not say, for fear of attracting his attention.
The signature was of "Fu Leng"... known better as the Fallen Kami, a being of such grand evil and malevolence that an entire part of the world has been blackened by his influence.
In fact, this spider symbol is clear as tattoos or as designs on the armor of the fallen 'bandits'. What this means to those is unknown, but one thing is certain: No good will come of it.
Along with the letter was a map, showing several other places where the 'bandits' were to attack - soon, they rushed off to warn their teammate's home of the rushing attack. Joined by others, the party soon split.
One party goes to no where, led by one of the land's craftiest. The other heads towards certain death, led by the two of the land's most honorable. They will meet each other again... perhaps sooner than they'd like.
Meanwhile, the forces of darkness begin to make their presence known. Bandit attacks and undead creatures begin to slip around the guard of the Crab clan, making their way into Rokugan. Something was happening... something bad.

Yup, I've decided to change my previous D&D game into a freeform game, so those interested can ACTUALLY join in. The game is set in an alternate 'Rokugan' (made famous in the Legend of the Five Rings setting), and I'll allow races that don't normally appear in the setting, such as the Kitsune or the Nekomata.
So... if you like big, epic battles... magic along with swordplay... samurai and ninja... and are prepared for a metric ton of drama, please come in. The game is pretty drama and romance based, so be prepared for that.
