ADVENTURE #11
                                Authors's Notes{15}

Welcome to my first grand adventure based on the noble exploits of the great{02}
Maiowaro Tomokato, commonly known as "Samurai Cat."

The game is based quite heavily upon the first chapter of "The Adventures of
Samurai Cat" so if you have read the book, you will find it much easier.






<paws>


Those of you in the puzzle solving genre won't like this very much, even though{02}
it isn't a mindless hack and slash adventure, there is a lot of violence.

There is not much I can say without ruining your fun, so good luck and happy
slaying!
                                                 -Nathan Segerlind{15}




<paws>




You have accidentally set yourself on a quest that you would rather not have to{02}
do. But, like all things, we must start at the beginning...





<paws>


It all started several years ago when your brother moved to Japan. He married{02}
a Japanese woman, Hanako, and settled down. They had several wonderful children
and were very prosperous.

Of course you were lured by his success! An adventurer to the core, you decided
not to settle down like him, but become a Samurai for the local Shogun, or
military ruler.

This was the noble Tokugawa Nobunaga. He saw your fine skills as a warrior very
early and decided to train you personally. He gave you two fine swords, a
katana (long) and a wakazashi (short) and the most magnificent armor you had
ever seen. It was a cross between lamellor and plate, with the strength of
plate and the flexibility of chain.


<paws>



But, your gains were not merely material... Nobunaga gave you special training{02}
that improved your dexterity, hardiness sword skill, and bow skill. And more
importantly, Nobunaga taught you Bushido, or the way of the warrior.

This was a rigid set of ancient rules that every Samurai had to obey. They were
a rigid set of oaths vowing asceticism and honor and banning most less than
moral activities. But there was more. Nobunaga personally banned alcoholic
beverage for it poisons the body and slows the reflexes, which Samurai depend
on.




<paws>


Nobunaga then gave you advanced training. Among things he taught you, the most{02}
important were the three sword blows of death... The first is the Deflecting
Blow, which if properly timed can deflect anything from arrows to bullets to
disarming cruise missiles in mid-air. The second is the Scarlet-Tapeworm, or
Disarming Strike. It will render the strongest of opponents weaponless. And
third, the Whirling Outboard Motor Propeller Blow. This allows double damage,
but halves chances to hit. Note: You need a sword to effectively accomplish
these maneuvers.

And that is how you became Nobunaga's fiercest warrior. With you at his side he{02}
became invincible. Battles, secret missions, and adventures, all were easily
accomplished by you. Recently, in a fierce battle, you completely eradicated
the renegade Takeda clan.


<paws>


After the revelry in Azuchi Castle (Nobunaga's stronghold) you politely asked{02}
him if, after several years of service, if you may take a 3 day vacation.

He laughed heartily, "Oh, take the next three months off! There will be no
battles, nobody desires the fate of the Takeda clan! You may take your
vacation."

Well, you decided it would be fine just to take three days off and visit Hanako
and your brother. But you still feared for Nobunaga...

There you and your brother talked of the old times, and the children asked you
to tell them the story of the Battle of Azechwan Hill.



<paws>


While in the middle of the story, you noticed the children getting tense and{02}
anxious. You immediately suspected a prank. Glimpsing out of the corner of
your eye, you saw that your nephew, Shiro, had decided to see how tough you
really were. Just as he was about to strike with his bokken, or wooden training
sword, you caught him and flung him across the room.

This turned out to be the most exciting moment you had at your stay so after the
third day, you packed up, said good-bye and left.

You had a bad feeling that day, and it was confirmed. For as you neared the
castle, you saw dark clouds of black smoke billowing over the hill.

Worried for Nobunaga, you spurred your horse to a gallop. When you finally
reached the castle, what you saw filled you with rage and fear.

<paws>


The courtyard was covered with blood, tank tracks, craters and dead bodies as{02}
you neared the main gate, it appeared to be blasted in. Al Capone and Bugs
Moran, the ones who set the charge that blasted the main gate had fatally
miscalculated the length of the fuse. In spite of your rage and fear, you
marvelled at the insane bad taste of their purple and green pinstripe suits.

You pushed through corpses and wrecks to get into the castle. Apparently,
Nobunaga's enemies were well prepared for the battle. All over the perimeter of
the wall were burning tiger tanks with corpses littered in and on them. And the
device that broke the wall was apparently a marvellous land going replica of the
monitor, filled to the brim with now dead Japanese and Apache spearmen.


<paws>


Inside, you could tell the fiercest fighting took place. The walls were chewed{02}
with bullet holes, cannon blasts and black flag. As you searched for Nobunaga,
you noticed most of the attackers were foreigners. Dead Apaches, dead Cossacks
dead Romans, dead Vikings, dead trolls. And the weaponry was even more varied.
A dead dragon in a red army uniform bore a sword-hacked recoilless rifle. The
prow of a Viking longship protruded from the floor and a B-17 bomber manned with
Mongols had crashed through the ceiling. A ring of Ostrogoths armed with uzi
submachineguns surrounded a single bullet-torn Samurai.

Frantically you searched for Nobunaga and finally, next to the body of the alien
from the movie "Alien" you found his severed head!

Filled with horror and hatred you clutched your lord's head. With bitter rage
you muttered, "If any of the butchers survived, may God deliver them to me!"

<paws>


And then the head said, "Don't drag him into this!"{02}

More joyous then surprised, you gently put the head down. Nobunaga said, "Thank
you and now I bet you want revenge?"

You insisted, "Yes, yes!"

"Well here's the list of names and addresses."  He then gave you a huge list of
villains of all description. "And finally Fugu Otoko," he said.


<paws>




The last thing Nobunaga said to you before you left was, "Remember! The giant{02}
monster may be cowed by high tension wires or oxygen destroyers and be stayed
from levelling Tokyo; but a warrior sees to his duty and does it."



<paws>





So that's how you ended up here, just outside of Catzad-Dum. Lair of Fugu Otoko,{02}
the Blowfish Who Never Smiles and organizer of Nobunaga's brutal murder.
