Ash Ronin

this is a story set in an alternate history japan where the wilds are constantly under thread from evil magics and monsters. We follow a group of mercenaries travelling the countryside, fighting off monsters, bandit gangs, and evil magicians, on jobs from villages and farms. This group has until recently been led by a ronin known as Ashitaka. He was an exemplary warrior and leader, bringing out the best in his compatriots. He was killed in a skirmish against corrupt samurai, although the killing blow was struck by an unknown hand and the culprit escaped the fray. The group has thus far managed to stay together without a leader. The story will more or less center on the group both trying to decide a new leader and finding Ashitaka's killer.
