Test of Honour - Night Raid
The Wok of a thousand flavours - night raid
An elite Ninja force mounts a raid on a small town. The Ninjas are after a mystical Wok, which is said to contain a thousand flavours. The Wok is hidden under three objectives, which need to be searched before the Wok is revealed.
- The defender has 24 recruitment points, half of which come on to the board as reinforcements
- The Ninja attacker has 15 recruitment points.
The table is set with the Ninjas deploying on the top edge. The defenders are mostly clustered around the center of the board. As this is a night-time game, the defending warriors are all unaware and have a short line of sight of 6". They spend their time wandering around randomly unless they are made aware that something is terribly wrong. Things such as being killed, having shuriken embedded in your face, seeing your friends dead in a pile tend to raise suspicions so the Ninja will need to pick their battles carefully.
The game starts with the Ninja Master advancing on the unaware bridge guard and pelted him with shurikens. They don't kill him but cause a nasty wound, which alerts him him of the nearby smirking Ninja. 
The second in command (drunken samurai) for the defending force starts his long run of failing his test of wits to come on the board as a reinforcement. Rumor has it that he found a barrel of sake and is far too busy to join the battle.
A nearby guard notices his friend had accessorised himself with shuriken sticking out his head and joins his friend on the bridge to take up a defensive stance as a nearby ninja creeps forward.
The drunken samurai still refused to join the battle after he discovers yet another barrel of unopened sake
Woof Woof Woof, the nearby attack dog decides to... not attack but instead "flee" to his master to raise the alarm.
Another defender walks into town, completely unaware that anything is happening at the moment.
The Ninja master ignores the incoming defender and runs to the nearby objective point to search for the Wok of a thousand flavours. However he only finds some barrels of sake outside the bar.
The defending troops cluster around the main building to have a chin wag, completely unaware of their impending doom.
Woof woof woof woof.. the attack dog fails to rouse the suspicions of the leader in white. A nearby warrior runs towards him to try and raise the alarm.
The black samurai aka Vader San decides there was something interesting on the wall of a nearby building and runs as fast as he could to inspect it.
His lack of battlefield awareness only continued as in the next turn he decided to run a full 12" towards some bamboo that he found was interesting.
With the white samurai now aware that there may be something amiss (what with all the dead bodies and screams of the dying in the air) a warrior runs around the outskirts of the village to try and get the attention of Vader San, who so far had been admiring the nearby bamboo.
The warriors at the house caught sight of a blacker than night shadow skulking behind a nearby wagon of peanut butter. Without a word to his companion he rushed forward for a charge. He completely missed with his attack due to being distracted by the nutty smell and his fear of his peanut allergy.
The nearby Ninja Master notices this commotion and runs over to "hush" the defending warrior by feeding him some shuriken into his mouth. As the spiked projectiles found their mark, the boy in blue bravely stood his ground with blood dripping from his wound.
Hearing his friend in distress the nearby warrior notices the ninjas and charges in, again as per standard with the students of the school of icanthitforshitsu he completely misses with his sword swipe.
The drunken samurai still with a severe headache notices the nearby ninja as not being either the barkeep or a cheeseburger decides to swing his blade at the shadowy figure but his sword hits only the air. He would then spend the rest of the game ineffectively swinging away at the shadowy figure. He looked forward to telling the tale of him personally slaying 25 ninjas when he eventually gets to the bar.
Determined to silence all witnesses the Ninja Master slayed the warrior that dared to oppose him. The warrior screamed as he fell to the ground, causing panic with his nearby allies. The white samurai sprinted away as fast as his old legs could take him. You would had thought that such an honourable guy would have more staying power but the tell-tell trail of money falling from his pocket tells another tale... one could say he took a bribe to flee.. ¬_¬
The Ninja master turns his attentions to searching the nearby objective point and SUCCESS! Finds the legendary and very mystical Wok of a thousand flavours. His head swirled with all the thoughts of the dishes he would soon be creating with his upcoming franchise restaurant chain "Ninja Nigiri".
Woof Woof Woof !! The attack dog is finally incentivised and charges into battle to stop the theft!
His highly accurate chompers find their mark and forced the Nina master to avoid the attack, which takes up his last action and can no longer easily escape with the Wok.
With the Ninja master out of activations the white samurai sees his opportunity for fame and glory (with minimal danger to himself) and charges in. He lands a heavy blow that cripples the Ninja who drops the Wok, which is then snatched up by the white samurai.
The white samurai took up a defensive position next to the fireplace. Ready to guard the Wok with his life. He hears a scuffle outside the doors but aside from that just silence. He breaths a breath of relief as he is just getting too old for this kind of fuss.
With this death, and the Wok of a thousand flavours back in the house, the Ninja force decide to retreat and put their dreams of a Ninja Nigiri franchise restaurant business on hold.. FOR NOW (dun dun dunnnnnn)
