The contest themes of
helps us seeing things in a video game that we normally ignore.
After learning of a starving widow, Jin spoke with her and launched a quest to retrieve her stolen rice. I tracked the bandit group, cleared them out in open combat, and returned the food. Upon delivery, Jin discovered the widow had lied about the bandits stealing it from her directly.
I was still inside that camp that I liberated from the bandits last time. I found two peasants there who told me there is a widow on the outskirts of Tsutsu who live alone and has no means of securing food for herself. .
Bandits are stealing food from the people in Tsutsu, leaving them desperate. If I don't stop these criminals, these people will starve before long, so I decided to check on that area first to investigate the situation.
And I found the widow the peasants were talking about, who was outside her house, likely crying or waiting for some food. And it looked like the golden bird was also there, fluttering around.
Before getting to the widow to hear her story, I mistakenly threw a smoke bomb around my own feet, which spooked my horse instantly. The thick gray cloud blinded me for a moment while Nobu reared up and whinnied in total confusion.
Then I spoke to the widow, who said some bandits took all her food and ran toward the wood, and she didn't have anything to eat. And with this, a quest began, with Jin vowing to return her supplies.
I started riding toward the wood, and after a moment, I reached this open field from where I saw the bandit group. I used the photo mode to check on them from this far.
Ignoring stealth completely, I rode my horse for them real fast, and I jumped off my horse toward one of the bandits and hit him. The impact threw him to the ground.
But the bandit somehow survived, as Jin, I don't know why, didn't use his katana on him during the initial leap. So I had to take him down next using standard strikes.
The bandit around him was trying to attack me right after with a spear, but I dodged his attacks effortlessly. And then I took him down along with some more of them.
When I noticed there was only a single bandit left who was an archer and was already shooting me from afar, I shot him down with an arrow after dodging his arrows.
Then I found the rice they stole from the widow tucked inside a secure sack. After collecting it, I had to return to the widow, but I stopped there to check on this dead body nearby, who got a horrible death.
I rode to the house of the widow to deliver the food, but after reaching there, I didn't see the lady outside anymore. Which made me worry that maybe something happened to her while I was away fighting the thieves.
But after rushing inside the house, I found her safe and sound, and she looked extra happy having the rice in her hands.
In the way the lady was expressing her happiness, Jin understood she lied to him about the bandits stealing from her. Actually, they stole it from somewhere else, and the lady mentioned the bandits doesn't deserve the food. And Jin suggested her not to lie again before ending the mission.
