A Ronin (a masterless samurai) goes on a quest to find a stolen sword and restore the honor of his family's name, but, when it comes to pushing the limits of what is right in order to see his mission through, how far is too far?
The creature is Rübezahl, a turnip counter, and we'll see why you shouldn't trust people who love vegetables.
