In the middle of Maki's shout, a snowball would land in his mouth! The man didn't step back, but instead slammed his foot into Maki's chest as the man jumped, knocking him back once again!

As Maki hit the ground, everyone would hear terrifying shrieks! From the hills surrounding the village, spikes of ice would be thrown through the air, slicing through huts and people alike! The villagers screamed, running for cover!

The stone he dropped seemed to fall for just a little while, before flying back up into his hand. The fire he used seemed to dissipate almost immediately after being sent out. Visually, he would have no real help judging the drop.

Imagawa Yoshimoto, leading an army said to hold 40,000 men, set forth to march on Kyoto. In doing this, he sent his men through Owari, Oda territory, and captured the border fortresses of Wahizu and Marune. Because of his sheer numbers, his army took them with relative ease. After those short battles, they set up camp in the wooded gorge Dengaku-Hazama. This was all reported to Oda Nobunaga, who sent troops to Zenshoji, a temple a short distance from the gorge.

"Lord Nobunaga, this is madness!" Katsuie shouted. "We cannot attack. We must stay here and hold our ground. We can sit this out - a frontal assault is suicide!" Nobunaga looked from Katsuie to his advisers, contemplating his actions, though not yet speaking. "This entire battle is suicide, Katsuie," spoke Sado, one of Nobunaga's advisers. "Lord Nobunaga, you must realize that we cannot win this. Spare your men's lives, surrender here and now." And then there was quiet. Nobunaga stood before his men, weighing their options. But it would seem surrender was not a choice he was willing to make.

"Imagawa has 40,000 men marching toward this place? I don't believe that. He 'only' has 25,000 soldiers. Yes, that is still too many. So, Sado, you want me to surrender. What if we do surrender? Will you get content with losing your life that way? Or what if we hold on like Katsuie wants me to? What if we stay here in this castle, lock it up, and wait until the Imagawas lose appetite and stop the siege and go home? We will be able to prolong our lives for five or ten days, and what we cannot defend will still be undefendable. We are at the bottom of the pit, you know. And our fate is interesting. Of course the misery is too great, too. But this is how I see it: this is a chance in a lifetime. I can't afford to miss this. Do you really want to spend your entire lives praying for longevity? We were born in order to die! Whoever is with me, come to the battlefield tomorrow morning. Whoever is not, just stay wherever you are and watch me win it!"

With that, it was settled. Few of the men were reluctant to continue, and those who would stay behind would each be given a banner to make the Imagawa believe the temple still held the Oda's main force. With a main force of about 1,500 men, Nobunaga set out through the forest, heading to the rear of the Imagawa camps undetected. He had also dispatched couriers to the Takeda, as well as sent for help from the Chosokabe, and hire a band of mercenaries days before in preparation for this attack. Now was the perfect time to act, seeing as a storm was passing through, and their advance would be hidden by nature itself.

"Brave warriors," Nobunaga would begin once his entire force was gathered, allies and all. "You make a bold statement here today to stand with a force seeking to defeat the Imagawa. And for that, I thank you. But, know this: we can afford no mistakes. The Imagawa could overrun us given the smallest chance, so we must do this carefully. A force will be dispatched to capture the Imagawa supply depot to the east, and from there you will move to the south to capture the entire eastern border of their camp. A second force will move to the west, taking an armory and securing their weapons. As soon as the storm settles, I will lead the main force and we will charge down the mountains straight for the commander's camp, and I will take Yoshimoto's head." Nobunaga clenched his fist tightly, a small puff of dark energy passing from his hand. "You must act in stealth, men. Remember this. If the Imagawa are alerted to our presence, this is a losing battle. The element of surprise is our most powerful weapon."

The force sent to the east to attack the supply depot would be led by Maeda Toshiie, with a small army of thirty men. The force attacking the west would be led by Shibata Katsuie, also with a small force of thirty men. Oda Nobunaga, with the remainder of his generals at his side, would wait for the storm to pass before attacking.

[OoC: Act wisely. You can move with the east or west force, or you can stay with the main force and attack as soon as the storm is settled. Those on the Imagawa side (Date and Uesugi) may not know of the surprise attack. They are here for diplomacy. Post order is in the sign-up thread.

Naotora killed the knight and Rider, just as Shou killed the monster he faced, and he and Maki were able to loot their chests! As she took the chest to the void, every wall in the maze collapsed, and everyone was pulled back into the entrance! With a deafening shriek, the maze sealed itself off once again, though it would seem that the screams would die out, the souls finally seeming to be able to rest! These warriors braved Numa Castle and succeeded!

Shou: Shou would not be able to flip the creature! As he turned, it would use its remaining tendrils to stab him in every open area, cutting his body open! It would then rip its tendrils from his hands, pouncing him, and seeking to bite his throat out!

Maki: Maki made it through the portal! In front of him, he would find three chests, and to his left, he could see Iemasa hopping through another portal! It seemed to be his only other way!

Naotora: Nao would appear just before the entrance, before she was shot back against a wall by an orb of darkness! Before her would appear a knight, and just down the hall, a Rider was charging at her!

As Keisuke approached the door, it ripped open, pulling him inside with a wave of dark energy, and the door would quickly seal off behind him. If he looked, it would be covered with a dark void of energy that he could not bypass.

He was faced with two paths: He could make an immediate right, or he could go forward and take a second right.
