Encounter With The Undead Village - Wretched Chanbara! Acutal Play Report

 Wretched Chanbara! is one of my favorite Wretched rpg setting. This faux Japan has some excellent hooks to bring in the PC's as Japanese horror/cinema style PC's. And this works very well for a Samurai themed action/horror campaign. I got the chance to run a character in DM Steven's recent game & we had a blast. 

We played a party of Ronin on thier way to act as the representives of a smaller poor clan who hired us to take care of the bandits who were taking over this clan's interests. 
We got to the village and the village was in rough shape. The bandits had come through the place and burnt everything to the ground. We walked into town and immediately were attacked by undead villagers. Things went from bad to worse as the villagers were attacking anything that moved. We lost two of our samurai to the undead. Our party actually retreated from the village. 
We heard calls coming from the villagers crying out for vengence! And we immediately pledged to avenge them. This seemed to quiet them for the moment. And we were able to go back into the village to look for clues. 
We found horse tracks along with some very well made arrows sticking into the local structures. Something fishy was going on! 
Our party had a conjurer among us who was actually a nercomancer in the employ of one of our lot. He used his 'communicate with dead' ability to find out it was  actually one of the larger clans who was using the guise of a bandit gang as a cover to drive out the villagers to expand. Now we need a new plan!
