> Head toward the tent, then.

>You descend. Below you is a small camp; with a tent set up and a small fire set in a clay pot. Also of interest is a sizable pile of dirt near the campsite, and a hole in the earth nearby. You also note some curious, weathered stones that are set into the earth, but too shaped to be natural, perhaps old foundations?
>As you descend, a young human woman who was sitting on front of the tent stands up. She is dressed in a simple black kimono with white trim. Upon her head is a wide-brimmed conical jingasa made of straw, concealing her short brown hair. She wears a sash that has a sword tucked through it on her right hip, and what seem to be several scroll cases on her left. Her hat obscures her face a little, but you can see she has a strong, defined chin.
>"Found me sooner than I expected," she says, her stance low and wary.

>You approach her. Getting a better look at her face, she doesn't seem familiar at all. Her hand lowers to one of the scrolls in her sash as you do.
>"Good," she says, "I must take you captive now, but you have the good word of Juza Takusan that you will be treated as an honored guest for your restraint!"
>With a small motion of her head, she conjures a ring of danmaku around herself, sending it flying out in a ring around herself.

>It is fairly dense, and close as you are it would be difficult to dodge between it. You think it will spread widely as it moves out.
>It is about chest height. You may be able to get over it.

>You take flight and back away, putting a few yards between the two of you.
>You draw a knife. With a toss, you can turn it into a pattern or stream as you need to.
>Juza, you presume she must be Juza to give that person's word in any event, doesn't seem interested in saying more as she lifts from the ground and pulls out a scroll case and sends out another ring of danmaku, this one a bit faster. It's hardly on par with some of the things you've had to deal with in terms if speed, but it would be unwise to take it lightly. You can sense this woman is capable of more.

>You have 16 knives right now.
>Within the context of danmaku, where you have to focus on a lot of things, you can only hold it for a few seconds. In theory, you only need a few seconds to recharge, but it becomes draining quickly. Without your spellcards, you won't be able to do anything too fancy, but you can still do a few time shenanigans. As well, stopping time in the middle of someone's spellcard means you won't be able to claim it as a trophy.
>You toss a knife at Juza, and it splits into a nice spread of shots. She backs away from it, then slips through a gap between them while sending a waves of danmaku out that lashes toward you like a whip while you slip between the next wave. It might have been fast enough to be a problem were she not forced back.
