>>5639095Shadowfall’s pleasure quarter — Moonlight Grace brothel
Boon’s textile mill had connections to other businesses, and one of them is a high end brothel.
As expected of Boon’s successor, Ging has allies in this brothel who are willing to shelter her. The brothel is one of the largest and elaborate in Shadowfall, a three story building with several gardens and teahouses around it.
Staying at a brothel makes a lot of sense — guests must surrender their weapons before entering, making target identification easier.
Its sheer size also makes retreating as well, with multiple pathways she can use if things go wrong.
Ging is guarded by four giants, but she also wears mail underneath her clothing and carries an ōdachi, a two hander [sword] to the brothel.
The crew’s job is to act as lookouts, their mobility will make them better at spotting and reporting information back to the guards than being another security unit.
Perched on top floors of the brothel are the crows, remaining hidden in the darkness as they watch the people below them.
For ranged weapons, they were provided…
>matchlock arquebusesLong guns capable of piercing any armor aside from the toughest cuirasses. Despite its length of 50 inches (~127 cm), they won’t be too difficult to carry, well suited to a force that might need to be move a lot.
>Hiya-zutsu (Incendiary arrow launchers)Large matchlock guns that launch arrows with an incendiary payload. Devastatingly powerful, but slow to reload and cumbersome to wield. A short, heavy thing that’s good at defending a position.
