[@Aristo][@RisenDead][@ClocktowerEchos] They messed up big time a while ago, and pissed off the people they bordered with. They face genocide if they lose, hardly anything if they win. They were made an offer that, if they gave up all the land they had in the region, the war would stop. But thats not to say they'd be forgiven. There is a high chance that they would take the land and wipe them out anyway, simply to spite them. It was, in their eyes, better to gamble and search for more land, than to give up the war and hope that the enemy give up their grudge. Considering they cant win the war, they have enough resource to send this party whilst still keeping up with the fight, if only just. 

I'm not even sure if that makes sense. I hope it does XD

I dont actually remember if I planned to have them be more so defensive than not... I think I planned to, but I got caught up writing the sheet I forgot most of the damnable reasons XD

It would make sense, and I see how it would work. Basically what we're saying it that I'm gonna go, rewrite the bits that caused confusion, and add in more bits as to flesh it out more, correct?

[hider=Objecting to your objection of my objection!]
1) I kinda gotta keep the ninja blood crystals part... I'll revisit certain parts of it and change it so it makes more sense.

2) Yup, will do.

3) Will do that too.

4) Will do that 3.

5) They didn't DO recon. They set boats out to find land, found land, scouted some of the area, found a place on a cliff that looked mostly uninhabited, and made base there XD
