A Booming Reception

"Marked One open the door." In case you were wondering how Oshujon asked people to let him into their houses.

"One moment." Never is it a good idea when you've identified yourself as authority to let the person you identified yourself too more time to prepare.  I mean sure they might not have on pants and they need to find their pants (and its always pants) or they might be planning a haphazard attempt at your life that just takes a moment (like most people do with me, its why I don't knock I just kick in doors, lets just say I replace a lot of doors). Oshujon heard the distinct sound of a hissing fuse and wisely stepped back from the door before a cannon shot erupted through it.

To say he was upset was a mild understatement (you try having a cannon fired at you and maintain your cool, its impossible). The man behind the cannon was not too happy to see a pissed off Oshujon marching into his narrow hallway green angry sword drawn and ready (then again who would be happy seeing that? Masochists?).  It wasn't much of a fight as Oshujon tells it, he basically ran forward beheaded a guy and that was that (the other smugglers were apparently out of town?).  They did have weapons though, lots of weapons stock piled in all rooms of the farm house.  Most appeared to be junk, but Oshujon did find one sword that stood out (obviously this whole story is about the sword!) So he took the sword without much of a thought burned the house down with the rest of the weaponry in it (including more cannon balls and gun powder, which I can only assume exploded very awkwardly possibly killing on lookers, but he didn't tell me if any died, which lets me fill in that yes two farmers were murdered when a canonball crashed into their pack horse and beheaded the beast before maiming both of them... ARTISTIC LICENSE!)

Oshujon tells me he should have known then something was wrong. Its not required to burn down the house, nor take the sword. In fact he's not supposed to have posessions so him taking one was kind of against his code entirely and should have warned him something was amiss. But he didn't and so the sword transfered from a couple idiots who were stockpiling weapons to a person who was a living weapon.  You know nothing serious or anything to be worried about.
