The Cathedral that Never Was [Event]

[stormbreeze]

After the door went up in smoke, Shadows slowly started moving towards it thinking that with this pretty much any creature in the building-thingy was going over to welcome them

With the elephant remaining behind for now, ready to make a rather flashy entrance if need it be, he follows a little behind Skeleton, and looking behind at the room just before going through to the next thinking to say goodbye, he notices the paintings strangely looking at him and some still frowning, maybe at them going through the door? or at the remains of the door they were going through, nevertheless, he thinks "Don't you guys go all weird on me to" as he turns his head back into the flash of light while transcending rooms

Once emerged out of the light, it would seem he was now in a church setting, your regular churchy atmosphere with some people on the bench, although they seemed somehow unnatural, and a white-clothed man with a full hood praying at an altar, he was most likely the main priest or something as his presence was the most noticeable

Noticing the two strange people, he gets up to acknowledge them and asks
"Have you two come to seek guidance?"
But as he get's close, Skeleton tries to stop him and continues to say
'Just point out to me which way leads out of this place and I'll go, and no one try getting any closer to me than you already are!'

While this is said, Shadows continues to look around, at first glance nothing seems out of place for this placement, except for the people that even seemed somehow transparent, nevertheless, as the conversation ends he ads
"So pretty much yeah, a map would be great!" then remembering of the previous room "Ow and maybe a dictionary for some of the languages used in books around here would be cool"

Of course, he was still wary of the situation, although nothing threatening happened here, there's always a first time, at this point he wasn't sure if his genjutsu had affected the white-clothed man or any of the others, or even if they were living and with Skeleton being loudly cautious, he would be ready to make a getaway on the wall about one foot behind him and get a good surveying position or try to notice as much as he can if all goes calm

OOC: yea sorry, pc problems

[Saiyuki]

OOC: Fyi, I don't really mind posting order.

The robed priest simply smiled at the strange duo's request. With a slender white hand, he pointed at the door at which they came.

"Is that not the door you came from? It is the only way into and out of this cathedral. As for a map, I do not think I should need to supply one. After all, this humble building is not so large or intricate to require much thinking to navigate. Are you two travelers?"

Should you decide to look around, you notice that the way that people dressed was indeed quite different from what you two are used to. Additionally, if the thought to simply go back the way you came from entered your mind, you will notice that the doorway behind you is.......simply a doorway. Outside you can see western carriages being drawn and people bustling about their everyday lives, albeit with customs and clothes unfamiliar to you. What will be your reaction?

((OOC: *twitches with vitriol*))

Behind his skeletal mask Ouda's face creased with confusion, everything that's happened today was a never ending bother, and this nutter in a robe wasn't helping much. Carefully he took a step to the side and slowly turned his gaze enough to follow where the priest was pointing too and, looking past Shadow, he saw out the very door they'd just entered through no longer led to the big library room but instead seemed to lead out to some boondock town.

Immediately Ouda snapped around to face the priest once again, this time though he also had a look at the congregation, at first they seemed to be normal but now that he was actually looking at them he could see that their outlines seemed to be blurred, even fading 'Out of the frypan and into the bloody fire.' he mumbled quietly to himself.

Ouda hand went up and touched the side of his M.P.G.s, setting his vision to thermal once again, hoping he might be able to see reality a little clearer in the haze of purple and orange blobs detected by his goggles. As he did this he leaned towards Shadow and with a hushed voice said 'Any ideas?'.

SPOILER: Click to show

Switched goggles to thermal mode.

Not that great a post but it's been about a week since the last one so *shrug*.

[stormbreeze]

The priest's response was quickly heard as he pointed back at the doorway they had came from
"Is that not the door you came from? It is the only way into and out of this cathedral. As for a map, I do not think I should need to supply one. After all, this humble building is not so large or intricate to require much thinking to navigate. Are you two travelers?"

As Shadow looked back to where the priest was pointing to he also replied
"Indeed we are"
The doorway of light had now vanished and behind the now regular doorway was a fairly common scenery, with people roaming around, although with far stranger clothing and carriages, then looking back at the people within, it was clear that this is either a genjutsu or the work of a quite good joker and if so to be idol of his

As his partner also looks around and whatnot, he shortly leans to Shadow and secretly says 'Any ideas?'.
A quick reply came in the same secretive voice "A few ... but I don't think they have ice-cream around here, heck we'd be lucky if they had some leftover wine!"

Nevertheless, the situation was somewhat blocking, even though he would be quite pleased to explore the new surroundings, his mission is to guard the cathedral that by the looks of it could even be on the other side of the world at this point
Reluctant to go out as only God knows what happens beyond doorways these days, only thing to do now was to gain as much info as he can from the people in the cathedral he is currently in and hope things don't get ugly, even if with the strange ethereal-like people and previous experience he thinks it's only a matter of time, still, he continues to speak to the priest and says

"By the way, you wouldn't happen to have been involved in mking this place would you? Or know the person that designed it? It's quite impressive", but then with a scared look on him, he points to the wall behind the priest and says "Hey look out! Tentacles are slithering out of the walls!" followed by a slight giggle and some words "Nah never mind, just my mind playing tricks on me"

[Saiyuki]

The reverend smiled as he listened to the entertaining words that came out of the two before him. There was no doubt about it. These were the two. One had to just look at them to realize that they were who he was looking for. He took a few back-steps and clapped his hands, getting the attention of everyone in the cathedral.

"Everyone, these two are from the Other World I was talking about. Please take care of them while I make preparations for the ceremony."

While you do not know just what he has been telling these people, you can infer that it must have been something awe-inspiring from the look in their eyes. Like a unrestrained mob of fans rushing over to their beloved celebrities, people start rushing at you. While there were not many sitting down on the benches, there were certainly many others at the other parts of the building. Surrounding in all directions by a mob of reasonless, but nevertheless innocent people, how do you plan to avoid them?

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

((OOC: *GROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN* what about thermal vision?..... and ice-cream?))

Suddenly all around the pair of erstwhile ninja the semi transparent masses were spurred into a frenzy of mobbed action, all coming towards Skeleton and Shadow at once.

Seeing the world as a kaleidoscope of thermal purple and oranges Ouda saw the people from every inch of the building immediately start towards them. Almost panicked into action he immediately focused his chakra into binding with the wind element and to cause a strong updraft beneath him, within moments the force of air pressure was enough to fully lift Ouda up off the ground and, with a kick off from the ground, float him up to a height of ten meters.

'Sorry mate, too heavy.' he said directly to the tall ninja below him, he then looked towards the mob around them and, with a voice behind his skull mask in the most commanding tone possible, said 'Stop in your tracks NOW!' he then drew out a kunai knife from his equipment pouch and eyed the priest 'Or else die!'

SPOILER: Click to show

Futon: Torihouto
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Gathering chakra to the users limbs the user gains extremely strong amounts of air underneath them allowing them to float in the air in a sort of flight. When the user is in the air, it resembles walking on water. Altitude can be altered by jumping. However this is not flight as the user can only move up or down however the user can fall and glide.
Special: --
Drawback: Uses up a fair amount of chakra. Dangerous to use in storms. The jutsu makes the user feel weightless which can be nauseating.
Description: The user gathers their chakra to there limbs evoking air to swell around there legs and arms, mainly there feet as they begin to feel weightless. With a large jump they soar into the air and wherever they stop at is where they remain as they float, normally one leg down and one leg curled up in front of them. They can jump again and again to gain higher altitude. To go down, the user merely dives or in better terms makes there feet higher then there head. Although one cannot fly you can straighten your body with your feet slightly higher then your head so the user falls but glides as they do which can gain a few miles before reaching the ground.
Limit: Must have Wind Release.

[stormbreeze]

As the priest smiled while he listened, so did Shadow smile while waiting for an answer, only to be meet by a rather strange response as the white-clothed man steps back and expresses to all within"Everyone, these two are from the Other World I was talking about. Please take care of them while I make preparations for the ceremony."

While the man speaks, Shadow's attention is drawn to a certain part, "Other world?" he thinks to himself, the whole think had gone on for to long to be a regular genjutsu, specially as it would have been cast from the cathedral and the tendrils would have got them by now, could they really have traversed dimensions? or maybe space?

Still, before he has enough time to ponder on the matter he noticed a strange look on the people that are now fully focused on the two ninjas, but it was not anger, nor anything offensive for that matter, but more like admiration or fascination as they all start rushing towards them with excitement

In the meantime, he hears something strange near him, and the voice of his partner saying apparently from above
'Sorry mate, too heavy.'
as he looks he finds nothing, but when looking up he notices the skeleton far above the ground and thinks "I so gotta learn that" and says "Make nothing of it"

As he looks at the crowd not so slowly but quite surely closing in, he recalled another part of what the priest said, namely the part about a ceremony, so be it as it is, they would surely not harm him, even if just yet so he stands his ground, only moving his arms a little to make sign to leave him a little room and starts to mingle with the crowd and whatnot

OOC: ts, damn net providers

[Saiyuki]

"Oh no, you shouldn't threaten them like that. We're a very....volatile people."

Those fading words from the priest before he disappeared could be heard as the people seemed to gradually change as they got more and more excited. Especially at the floating one at the air. He was very interesting, in his attire and all. As you continue to watch, the people seem to become less and less human, growing demonic features such as horns, red skin and fangs. They also seemed to grow bigger. In their excitement, they would try to latch onto the one still remaining on the ground. With their sharp and long claws, this could be a very painful experience. The entrance to the cathedral is closed and blocked off. However, the exit in which the priest exited is wide open. What do you choose to do, knowing that this whole world could very well be against you?

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

((OOC: *MOAN* *BEMOAN* *GRUMBLE, you didn't even say how many of them there were, not even an estimation.))

The priest bolted, legging it away from the pair of macabrely garbed ninja and leaving them amongst the throng of rabid devotees. Ouda was just about to throw the kunai in his hand right into the back of the priests head when he saw that the mob of people below him were started to change their form into gruesome monsters around shadow, it was at that point that the floating skeleton changed his priorities and aimed somewhere else.

He threw the kunai down into the skull of the creature closest to Shadow and with his free hand he drew out half a dozen shuriken from his equipment pouch, behind goggle lenses his eyes mapped out the flight path for his shuriken. With a flick of his wrist he sent one of the shuriken on a curved flight down through the very outermost throat of one of the monsters right infront of Shadow, from there it continued it's flight into another one of the closely packed creatures. Skeleton kicked off with his foot to fly him over the mod of beasts 'MOVE SHADOW!' he shouted without even turning around to face him, too busy throwing the next shuriken into the next lot of monsters, again on a flight that would slice through one of the creatures throats then embed itself on the one behind it.

He continued the pattern of throwing shuriken through the hoard of bests, aiming precisely enough to kill them at least two at a time and hopefully create a path for Shadow to escape through and out of the mob.

SPOILER: Click to show

Used up one kunai and six shuriken. Maintained torihouto and used it to stay above the mob while making my way across it. Curve effect was used to compensate for the fact that i'm up in the air.

Weapon Mastery
Rank: B
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Makes every weapon throwed by the oppnent to be a rank higher, making every C or lower "blocking projectiles" technique to be weak against the weapons hurled by the user.
Special: Automatic when hurling secondary weapons WITH YOUR HANDS!. This means that techniques that throws weapons for you instead of you throwing them with your hands are excluded by this technique.
Drawback: -
Description: After training so much the Weapon Specialists Fighting Style, the user's accuracy and the way to throw weapons have improved. The user can now throw weapons faster and stronger having the same accuracy, making the secondary weapons more lethal than before. From now on every single secondary weapon hurled by the opponent is a rank higher than before and any C or lower rank technique that would block the weapon is now useless. However the user MUST throw the weapon, this means that even if you are using a technique the user must have contact with the weapon and hurl it with their hands just like "Hisan Kaiten (Scattering Rotation)", weapons thrown by a technique are excluded from this such as "Soshuha (Manipulating Attack Blades)"
Brief description. You MUST throw the weapon, or else it would be like overpowered. So techniques like "Hisan Kaiten (Scattering Rotation)" works with this because the user hurls with their hands the weapons. But techniques like Soshuha doesn't count because the user doesn't even have contact with the weapons
Limit: Must have 500 training points into techniques that focus only on Weapon Specialist Fighting Style. Once you have obtained 500 training points in Weapon Specialist techniques, they gain this technique automatically.

Weapon Proficiency
Rank: "D" "C" "B" "A" (extra A rank training x5)
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Increases the users accuracy with long range secondary weapons.
D - Increases Accuracy by 10%
C - Increases Accuracy by 20%
B - Increases Accuracy by 30%
A - Increases Accuracy by 40%
A - Increases Accuracy by 45%
A - Increases Accuracy by 50%
A - Increases Accuracy by 55%
A - Increases Accuracy by 60%
A - Increases Accuracy by 65%
Each additional A rank training increases the Accuracy by a further 5% (e.g one extra training would be 45%) up to a maximum of 75%.
Special: None
Drawback: None
Description: A weapon specialist devotes their training to improve their proficiency with large range attacks using secondary weapons. The main aspect of this training is to improve the accuracy of attacks and therefore make the weapon specialist more deadly.
Limit: Must be a weapon specialist.

Curve Effect
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu, Passive.
Effect: The user is now able to hurl Weapons with a curve effect that previously they couldn't.
Special: ---
Drawback: Non aerodynamic weapons cannot be used with this. The next weapon(s) cannot be used with this technique: Senbon,
Description: After so much training the user is now capable of hurling weapons they previously couldn't with a curve effect, like if they would be hurling a boomerang using a kunai, or shuriken, just that it doesn't return to the user. From now on when the user hurls a weapon if the weapon can, it will have a curve effect if the user wants to, however this doesn't mean that the weapon will return to the user's hand. This is commonly used for surprise attacks. The user can create a 30° angle using the weapons. However weapons with a aerodynamic shape have a greater angle aside from the one they already have, those type of weapons have a 60° angle, weapons that fall into that category are: Shurikens, Windmill Shurikens. If used with weapons that have a greater aerodynamic shape (boomerangs) the angle can be increased up to 90°, weapons that fall into this category: Throwing Weapons.
Limit: Must be a Weapon Specialist.

[stormbreeze]

With some faint words coming from the priest as he disappears completely, the air seemed to somewhat thicken as he notices the crowd morphing, into what he was not sure yet, however it did make him wonder why they were in human form in the first place, could it be they were expected? And if so to what means?

Still, he noticed that many had been focused on Skeleton, before of course their attention shifted to him as they grew larger and gained a somewhat demonic form, strangely at this point he wasn't even surprised about that, but more that they were not communicating, even if not with him but with each other as would have been expected, he had already became accustomed with Rain's weirdness from his exam

Nevertheless, they were still a slight distance away and would at least not crowd him, some would only try to lash out only to be meet by weapons from above as his partner tries to make a path through them

Recalling of the exam he remembered of something else within, Shadow was not very fond of the expression "fight fire with fire", however fight demon with mutant sounded quite intriguing so with a quick sway of the arms as he dodged claws, he made a crafted shadow of one of his old friends, the mutant hounds he had meet in the lab ruins, quite large he was and well accustomed to charging with the extra limbs to boot, Shadow ordered the hound to charge his way through to the door then go all rodeo on their demon behinds as he follows close behind till the door then watches the show and makes sure his partner makes it also

He knew it was only a matter of time untill something like this happened, however it did surprise him a little that it was this exact situation, still, thinking this was barely the entrance and he was never very fond of appetizers he was reluctant of thinking what will be next but would still follow if his partner was to make his way through the door, it was the only option at this point

Crafted Shadow
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: User can create enduring Shadows through this GenJutsu.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Each rank of the technique can create a shadow of up to a certain size category from fine to Colossal. At the time of performing the Illusionist chooses whether the shadow created will be a type of equipment or creature. Items created with this GenJutsu are considered to be one-third as real and have one-third the normal strength of the object. There are two types of objects that can be created: Weapons, and Equipment. Weapons created via this GenJutsu are partially real and those who succeed in finding out it is a GenJutsu will still be affected by one third of damage created by the weapon. Those who do not feel that this is a fake will suffer full on attack. Items created have no major significance. They cannot do anything other than look nice or pretty unless they were to harm those who perceive the object such as a stab, or a cut. Creatures shaped are considered one third real with a transparent feel along them. They are one third as strong as a normal creature. Creatures made by this Jutsu have none of the normal qualities such as poisons or helpers. When the user first learns this technique they are only capable of creating objects the size of fine, which is very small and is capable of making just one. When the user learns the "C" Rank of this technique the user is capable of making Diminutive and Tiny objects up to three. When the user learns the "B" Rank of this technique the user is capable of making Small and Medium sized creatures up to five. When the user learns "A" Rank of this technique the user is capable of making Large and Huge Creatures up to seven creatures. When the user learns the "S" Rank of this technique the user is capable of making Gargantuan to Colossal sized creatures up to nine.
Limit: Must know the Shadow Perception

[Saiyuki]

Your antics appear to be effective, though Shadow will have to endure some shallow cuts here and there as he charges through the mob with his creation. From above, as you rain attacks below trying to keep your partner safe, you continue to move towards the door. Reaching the door, you look behind to see a giant mass emerging, but as both of you step through the doorway, the doors close and disappear. Instead, you are in a white room. Around five meters away from you is a man sitting down on a chair, his arm propping up his head as he sighs before getting up.

"So you are the ones trespassing. Quite interesting that you made it so far. Or shall I say it was the will of this world?"

Garmented in his splendid regalia was the man whose passion had cut through the stormy chaos of the past: Kaede Souzen.

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

((OOC: *groan* posting in here just once a week is not good enough raiha!))

Behind his goggle lenses Skeleton watched for Shadow to escape the creatures claws and, once his masked companion had made it through the aperture to follow the padré, the macabre garb ninja ducked down and passed the threshold to pursue their target.

Arriving in a room that shone a bright white light in all directions Ouda kept his eyes on the doorway just long enough to see it close. Suddenly he heard another voice in the room that he definitely didn't expect to hear. Turning around to it's source Ouda saw none other than Souzen Kaede parked in a little chair. The floating skeleton ended his technique and dropped onto his feet beside Shadow 'So here's where you were,' said Ouda 'stuck in this fuddled building.' he'd been wondering for ages where Souzen had gotten off too.

Ouda wondered just how long this building had been behaving like if it was the reason why Souzen had been missing ever since he got back from the chunnin exams, however he ignored asking those questions right now when there were more important things to figure out. 'Do you know anything about a way out of this place?' asked Ouda, if Souzen had been here this long than he must have found out some sort of hopeful lead or path they could all use.

((OOC: *sigh* bloody hell raiha do something, everyone here does'nt exist just so you can waste their time. If you can't get this thing moving along then just let everyone go and do what they want, then maybe there'll actually be some activity in the village for the first time in two months!))

[Saiyuki]

OOC: Wow, only two people active by the end of this event....Very well, I will end it here. Post your exit from the event in this thread.

Souzen smiled. Another bright light flashed behind him and in walked the Pianist. He seemed pleased to see the two of you here. Walking up to Souzen, who then bowed in deference to the mysterious man, he smiled at the two of you before speaking. The moment he started to speak, a massive pressure suddenly bears down on your shoulders, freezing all attempts to somehow strike at the mastermind of this plot.

"I realize that the span of my fun is nearing its end. That is why I will give you a message, to the Amekage. My name is Murakami Gaokishi, a comrade of the next Daimyo. Should he decide to side with Amaterasu, then incidents like these will be magnified."

What seemed to be holograms of light popped up, showing the destruction that the spirits of the Kages had done to the Capital. Noticing something, the Pianist gave a frown.

"It seemed your friend is unto me. Very well, I will take my leave here. Don't worry, this Cathedral won't be popping up anytime soon. Send my regards to the rest of the village, will you?"

An explosion suddenly erupted as a blast of fire shot right at the Pianist. However, Souzen and another man stepped in, blocking the attack. Seion then arrived with a strike force. He was surprised at the sight of the other man, who had a cigarette in his mouth and froze his fire before Souzen sliced it into pieces.

"Later, everyone~"

With that, a blinding violet filled the room and in a flash he was gone. As you open your eyes, you notice that you are back under the cloudy sky of Ame, back in the Capital. Seion sighed as he turns to you.

"Good job, you two. At least you're still alive. I will report this to the Daimyo. You guys better round up the rest of your comrades and head back to the village. We will send the rewards out later."

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

((OOC: *sigh* thanks))

The skeletonic ninja could only watch dumbfounded at the rapid fire events before him, barely a clue of what was going on. Suddenly it felt as if the very air around had a weight and was trapping his body, it was then that one bloke who seemed rather chatty started saying something about a sending a message to the amekage, a request that was pretty much wasted on Ouda since due to his trip up a mountain he didn't know who was the kage anymore.

After a brief show of what looked like a video but somehow not flat like usually depicted on a television screen Ouda heard the guy mention that there wouldn't be any more cathedrals like this one. 'Uh..... good.' replied Ouda, it certainly wasn't a bad thing.

Light then suddenly burst all around Ouda, blinding him from what was going on around him, then all at once disappeared. Once his vision had returned to him Ouda could see that he was finally out of that church and back in the countries capital. He looked around there were some other people waiting here. One of them actually congratulated him, which was a big surprise to Ouda, but when he heard reward he was even more surprised.

'Well.... ok,' said Ouda with a confused tone as he started backing off away from the crowd 'you're welcome.' he added just before turning around and heading out of this city.

[kininata]

[ooc: Serious apologies for not getting involved earlier - internet decided not to work properly till recently, and when it was it was intermitent at best]

Kininata observed the events from a distance, seeing Souzen's form for only a brief instant before it - and then he and the other shaded figures were gone in a bright flash. His next clear sight was of Ouda and Seion with his strike force. He couldn't hear the conversation, but considering that Seion was departing from the scene, he assumed that the assignment was, for the moment, over. Was that really Muteki then? What the hell was going on? He turned away from the scene, ensuring that on the way he left a note at the tavern for Seion including the events at the Red Light District - the conversation with Muteki included... at least, the parts that pertained to information gathering, not his own opinions of what could be the upcoming civil war. If it was ever a possibility.

On that, with the light rain over head now dampening his clothes, he made his way out of the city back towards home.

[Exit]

[terrana]

(OOC: Internet problems as well, quite a pain..)

Everything happened pretty fast, and all was in my sight. I was seeing Kininata, watching the scene as it happened. Souzen, probably another child in former Amekage disguise, Ouda and Seion just entering with a strike force. There wasn't enough sound for me to hear but I had a feeling everything was over, as Kininata was getting more and more relaxed. A burst of light hit me, and probably everyone else, forcing me to close my eyes. Upon opening my eyes, the Cathedral was gone, as if it never were. Seion spoke a few words at Ouda and left the scene quickly, probably going for the Whitebeard Tavern. I still hadn't figured out everything, which made me a bit disappointed.

Seeing as now Kininata-sama was also departing from the scene, I decided to follow him, not as in shadowing but just not getting his attention. He went back to the Whitebeard Tavern and left note there. As he left the Tavern, I went inside and read to the note. It explained of all that happened to him in the Red Lights District. I decided to make a not as well, explaining how I had battled Kininata, how Saitoshi saved me on a critical moment, how the Kininata was actually a sleeping child under some kind of technique, everything. That being done. I prepared to leave the capital.

As busy as ever, I walked through the streets of Yokoburi. Making my way, back to Amegakure, off to get myself some deserved rest. Then continue my training the next morning.

//Exit

[/size]

[stormbreeze]

Racing through the mob of daemons and also acquiring the marks to prove it as he miscalculated their reach, he had now made it to the door with the other close behind.
Looking back as a strange mass grew behind before fading away in the white wall of a now new room, a voice was head saying "So you are the ones trespassing. Quite interesting that you made it so far. Or shall I say it was the will of this world?"

Looking ahead, he saw a man smiling as a bright light emerged from behind him and another man appeared, also smiling and then starting to speak with an added freezing effect "I realize that the span of my fun is nearing its end. That is why I will give you a message, to the Amekage. My name is Murakami Gaokishi, a comrade of the next Daimyo. Should he decide to side with Amaterasu, then incidents like these will be magnified."

With white images appearing with incidents of the city, the man then frowns and speaks again ""It seemed your friend is unto me. Very well, I will take my leave here. Don't worry, this Cathedral won't be popping up anytime soon. Send my regards to the rest of the village, will you?"

After a slight nod as he was still confused from the images and distracted by his cuts, some more confusing acts occur, but before he has time to think it all through in a blink he found himself back in the capital with the man he had meet in the tavern that says
"Good job, you two. At least you're still alive. I will report this to the Daimyo. You guys better round up the rest of your comrades and head back to the village. We will send the rewards out later." then leaves

With not enough pieces to even start to make sense of this whole ordeal he heads home, this is going to take up some of his time to figure out, but he is sure to make sense of it all soon.
