    It seems nobody has heard you. You are able to sneak to a crack in the wall on the south side; from there, you can look inside the single 40x40ft room of the gatehouse's ground floor. A somewhat fat human guard sits by the door on the east side of the room; he seems to be passing the time by poking holes in the floorboards with his spear. A rickety staircase with no railing runs up the west wall. The room is filled with various barrels and sacks, and the only illumination is a couple of candles and a bit of light from outside. There are plenty of shadows to hide in behind the barrels or sacks, or underneath the stairs.

    Ruri'ko utilizes her Shadow Jaunt maneuver, becoming but a tiny mote of inky darkness and then slips through the cracks in the window. Seconds later she reemerges in the far corner of the room away from the obese guard, perfectly still, silent and invisible.

    (Since everyone can now see the gatehouse, I will repost the description here)

    The hill gently slopes upward and is covered in grass on all sides except the southwest, where it appears the hill has eroded, leaving a roughly 60 degree slope covered with loose dirt and scraggly bushes. The road goes up the east side of the hill, then down the north. At the hill's highest point (about 40 feet above the surrounding countryside) stands a small two-story building. The paint is faded, and a few boards crudely nailed into place mark attempts to patch up holes in the walls. This is the old guardhouse.

    Kumatora

    Kumatora takes her sweet time; once out of sight of the samurai the monk begins to boil. Stupid Crane, she though while taking a swig from the jug, it was just like some stuck-up to send away someone who wasn't presentable in social view while he gadded about...

    Although, and this was after a moment of keeping her liquor, he did have a point to send the stealthy ones out first...

    http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1607668/

    Full of rum and righteousness, Kumatora lightly traverses through the rice fields, up the hill finally coming around towards the other side of the gate post, against all luck managing to blend in with the brush...

    As Kumatora approaches the gatehouse, the front door opens. A portly man emerges, clad in an ill-fitting teal robe. However, he seems to take no notice of you, instead looking down the hill to the east. There, the other three humans are already walking up the hill. He bellows out, "Hello travellers! Crane inspection and tollbooth. Toll will be 100 gold per person, plus any shipping fees."

    Aoshi

    100 gold? How many people do they actually expect to pay that price? Aoshi waves in acknowledgment as he approaches the gatehouse and makes a show of reaching for his purse as he approaches. When he reaches the man though he stops fiddling with the purse. "I am Kakita Aoshi" he says with an air of someone who should be recognized. I am traveling with just my two companions, no shipping goods so your toll should be 300 gold. Though before I pay such a fee I'd like to know under who's authority you are collecting this amount..." Aoshi makes an effort to search the mans uniform for a family mon or other marking. "...crane-san" he finishes. (assuming he finds no mon, if he does he uses the correct family name.) during his speech his hand strays casualy to his sword hilt. It's not a threatening geasture but he is ready to draw if the guard seems to act like something is up.

    The man never ceases smiling, but he stands slightly straighter when he realizes you are inspecting him. In response to your question, he says, "Why... from Shijiku of course."

    Aoshi

    "Shijiku?" Aoshi raises an eyebrow critically. He tries to put as warning tone on the word while his mind races. Damn me and spending too much time in the Dojo, I have no idea who that is. But if he's important enough to be assigning positions he's way to important to be on a last name basis with this slob.

    OOC: Does the man have any markings that would indicate status or family?

    The man's robe is the correct color to belong to a Crane soldier, but beyond that you see no signs of family or status. However, upon further inspection of the robe it is obvious that this is intentional: you see bits of fabric clumsily stitched onto the robe over top of areas where a family mon would traditionally be placed.

    Shijiku is the name of the Crane Minister of Trade, one of the top advisors to the shogun. it is extremely unlikely that he would bother to personally give orders to set up a tollbooth in the middle of nowhere; more likely the man just gave the first name he could think of that was in some way connected with the authorities.

    In response to your statement, he gives a tiny yelp and attempts to get back inside.

    Everyone Roll Initiative; if you beat a 16, you have a round in which to act before he gets inside.

    OOC- what is it with me and 20's on initiative rolls? Kojirou will, if he can reach the guy, charge and attempt to trip him.
    If he can't reach him, he'll advance a normal move and draw his sword.

    Aoshi

    Aoshi makes a split second decision on the intentions of the fleeing man.
    Sense Motive (1d20+8)[25] and if he is indeed fleeing rather than getting his captain (or if I really blow this roll) Aoshi's blade flickers out of the scabard and slashed down on the man attempting to hamstring him. (don't have the feat so apply whatever appropriate penalties you want for a called shot type thing.)
