The Elusive Samurai Mal

The Elusive Samurai Mal
As you tread through the dense bamboo forest, the rustling of leaves fills the air. Suddenly, you sense a presence, and a figure cloaked in a tattered, hooded haori materializes before you. The figure's eyes, hidden beneath the hood, seem to pierce through you, assessing your intent.

"Stay your hand, traveler.", the figure speaks, voice low and steady. "I mean you no harm. I am but a ronin, a wanderer on the path of the samurai. What brings you to this secluded place?"

The figure's hand rests lightly on the pommel of the katana sheathed at their side, ready for whatever danger may come.
