Let's Begin



Black Dragon


Having recently completed your final ninja exam, you have been eagerly welcomed into the official ranks by your brethren. Well, not really 'brethren.' It's just you and your master, after all. But you have vision! And your master clearly does also. He chose you to be his pupil, didn't he? Yes, great things are in store for you, and you will accept the greatness that is your right, for you are a ninja.

You look around your studio apartment. It's nothing special, but it is your secret lair, and nobody knows about it except you and your master. And the landlord. And his daughter. She keeps knocking every few days asking when you'll be paying for the next month. Your not sure why she bothers. You're a ninja. What's she going to do, kick you out? Of course, she doesn't know that you're a ninja. Because, you know...you're a ninja. Anyway, the rent is only only three weeks past due. Three weeks is nothing. Why...during your training you sometimes had to endure months worth of exercises. Iron palm training? That was 6 months. Iron stomach training? That was another 4 months. Iron scrotum? You don't remember exactly how long that one took, but you're pretty sure it was a long time.

But that is all past! Your training is done, and you are a ninja! And a tough one at that.

Your master is in the apartment next door. You smile at his cleverness, a true ninja master hiding in plain sight, where none but you know of him. You're grateful for his tutelage, but you are also free, now. Training is over. If you wish, you may ask him for missions, or you may embark on adventures of your own.

What will you do?

Secret lair gained:
 * Studio apartment in downtown TheTown


Ninja Terminator


You walk up to the security guard and say hello. "Hi, Jaguar," he casually responds and waves you through. Ha. He suspects nothing. But of course he suspects nothing. You are a ninja! You casually stroll through the middle of the storage yard, take an abrupt left and come to a one particular door in a row of similar doors.

Then, in a super fast flurry of ninja skills you whip out your key and unlock the door, and step inside. At last, home. Turning on the lights, you briefly consider how beautiful this small, 10x10x8 rented storage room would look with your ninja weapons and ninja gear decorating the walls. But that would mean not having them on you. Yes, it's probably better that you keep your ninja katana sword, your climbing claws, your ninja stars and of course your bright red ninja uniform in the secret compartment in your back pants pocket. No sense having to run back home every time you want to change.

It's against the terms of the rental agreement you signed to actually live here like you're doing, but you are a ninja. Nobody will ever find you here. Not even your master knows where your lair is. You smile. Ahh, your beloved master who trained you in the art of ninja. Hmm. It's been a few weeks since you've spoken with him actually. If you wanted to, you could stop by and visit him. He runs women's self defense courses at the local college. He doesn't teach the secret art of ninja at these courses, of course. Just basic self defense stuff. Actually, you suspect he only teaches the courses because he's a bit of a pervert and likes demonstrating arm bar and bear hug escape techniques to the girls. Especially the bear hug escape techniques.

You shake your head. Regardless, your master always remembers his students and if you stopped by to speak to him, surely he could offer you a mission worthy of your awesomeness. Or if you'd prefer to do something else, you could. Because you're a ninja.

Secret lair gained:
 * Storage room in the commercial district of TheTown


Dragon's Doom


It's after hours at the local mall in TheTown. So Dragon's Doom goes in anyway. Because he's a ninja and nobody says no to ninjas, not even escalators. Leaping effortlessly from escalator step to escalator step, he quickly reaches the top, somersaults over the housewares aisle and lands on the stairwell on the other side that leads down into the abandoned loss prevention office.

He could have just taken the service entrance, but, you know...ninja.

Flipping on a video feed, Dragon's Doom sees that the mall, his mall, is in fact empty. Except for a small family of squirrels nesting behind the customer service desk. Pleased, he considers the stroke of fortune that brought him here. It was shortly after he'd become a full fledged ninja that he was shopping for suitably ninja-tastic swim trunks when he happened to overhear the loss prevention manager angrily shouting about having been fired. You don't what happanbed to him, but you're pretty sure he didn't go on to become a ninja. Shouting is so not sneaky, and not ninja-like at all. In any case, apparently as a cost reduction effort the mall owner decided to fire him and replace him with a lone security guard. A guard who's late for work right now, but nobody besides you knows that.

You took advantage of the this opportunity and moved right into the old security office. It's a bit small, just a single room, but nobody ever comes here except awesome ninjas like yourself, and having access to the security camera feeds for the entire mall is kind of nice. During the days you sometimes watch for hours, watching for shoplifters. Because you're a ninja, and you want to keep appraised of things.

But it's afterhours now, so the action you're likely to see is the lone security guard, if he ever decides to show up for work. And the squirrels. They're friendly. But perhaps you can find something more ninja-tastic to do? Maybe you could visit your master and request a mission? Or do you have something else in mind? Something worthy of a ninja.

Secret lair gained:
 * Abandoned loss prevention office at the TheTown mall


The Harvest Ninja


It is early twilight in the pumpkin fields a short distance outside the city limits of TheTown. In the sky, the sun is beginning to set. In the ground, hundreds of pumpkins dot the field, specks of orange amidst greens and browns. Below the ground, however...there is a ninja.

Ten feet below the ground, in fact. For here is where The Harvest Ninja dug a pit and hauled an industrial steel shipping crate, by his teeth, and buried it in the ground. It was actually just part of a training exercise, but after promotion from student ninja to full ninja, he's found it to be a useful secret lair.

Life below the fields is nice. Quiet. Calm. Good for meditating. Also, plenty of pumpkins to eat.

But, a ninja craves more than merely quiet meditation. And pumpkins. A ninja craves...what? What does The Harvest Ninja crave? Perhaps tonight he will request a mission from his master? Or perhaps something else? Only time will tell. Actually, no. Time won't tell, because ninjas are sneaky and if time goes around telling people ninja secrets, ninjas are going smack time around and put it in its place.

Secret lair gained:
 * Half buried steel shipping crate in the pumpkin fields outside of town


Crouching Snake


It is early evening. Traffic on the freeway is light, but one big rig in particular has a secret: A ninja stands proudly on the roof.

Ok, maybe it's not a secret. In fact, other drivers are honking at the truck driver and pointing to his roof, but he's not understanding their wild gesticulations. And then, just like that the ninja leaps from the truck, onto the roof of another car, slides off and does a dive roll onto the asphalt on the side of the road, and takes off running. Running...to home.

Home for Crouching Snake is the rooftop of the OPM bank building. Effortlessly he scurries up the walls of the three story office building and hides himself in the janitorial storage closet there. Not the most prestigious of lairs, but the view from up here can't be beat. Except when it rains. Then it gets wet.

Fortunately it's not raining right now, and the view is, as mentioned, spectacular, and the setting sun lights up the sky in the brilliant reds and yellows. Pollution isn't all bad.

But even a ninja is not content merely viewing beautiful sunsets. What will Crouching Snake doing tonight? Perhaps, inquire to his master for a mission? Or does he have other plans in mind? The sky's the limit. Well, for a mere mortal it's the limit. For a ninja, the sky is just a pleasant companion between awesome jumps and wall climbs.

Secret lair gained:

Dragon's Doom will request a mission from his master. And then, he will contemplate on the meaning of being a ninja with the squirrels; nature's ninjas.

"Sensei!" He calls to his master between push ups, aiming to stay in peak condition. "I know I'm a fully fledged ninja now, but... I'm not sure where to start. Perhaps one last assignment, before I am to figure out what I must do?" A request for one last mission from his master.... Hopefully it wouldn't be anything too impossible.... But then he flashed back to the iron scrotum training and shuddered. ANYTHING is better than that....

Crouching Snake ninja-jumps his way to his ninja-master to ask for a ninja-mission (ninjsion?), while continuing to ignore those wild and un-ninja-like gesticulations!

The harvest ninja sat in silence before she vanished, off to who knows were.

Fine she when and got a mission. Happy now? Ruining the surprise, you only have yourselves to blame.

My time spent observing the squirrels will come in handy, now. They climb with incredible ease, passing out of sight and exhibiting perfect balance, able to move even while burdened by heavy loads. But first. To get to playboy mansion.

I could take the bus in civilian clothes and change into ninja uniform when I get there...or...

I could run along rooftops and trees, using fire escapes and flag poles to spring myself onto higher levels, and sliding down walls to jump onto lower ones. If a wall is sheer, I simply apply my Climbing Squirrel technique and seek out cracks in the stone with my ninja senses, pulling myself up.

I will take the second option, to get to the playboy mansion.

You hunch your back and try to look adorable like a squirrel, then quickly scamper up a tree and change into your ninja uniform.

Mode: In uniform

Bouncing from branch to branch you make your way to the treetop and begin leaping and climbing your way from tree to roof to car, maybe the occasional flagpole or unsuspecting pedestrian, on the way to the Playboy Mansion.

Movement Feat: Ninja-jump to the Playboy Mansion, Difficulty: 3 (Seriously, you're a ninja, this is easy mode.) 2d6 Roll: 9 Success!



Arriving at the mansion, you quickly stakeout the defenses. There is a high metal fence around the entire estate, with video cameras at regular intervals and roving security patrols with dogs. The main entrance gate is closed and has a drive-up guard booth for checking guests, with two guards inside.

Master Red was right when he said this was a dangerous mission. But you are a ninja, and those guards and dogs are not. And neither is the metal fence.

Useing my ninja skills i find the abusive boyfriend and follow until the moment is right to strike.
Then i jump down from a near by roof, in uniform and force him to face ninja justice (kill him) take his head as proof of the deed.

My code of honour means that i have to give him a chance to fight (throwing a single attack counts) if he runs then he is but a dog and unworthy of ninja justice so kill him any way.

I'm going to change into my NINJA PERSONA now, and head to a busy part of town, watching for these thugs. Kinda wish I had some chains for distance attacks, but I'll survive. They're just street punks. Shouldn't be TOO hard.... This Crouching Snake person.... Snakes can't crouch.... They might be interesting at least.

You immediately rush out and go looking for the abusive boyfriend. You check in a nearby tree, underneath a car...even a dumpster behind the classroom, but you don't find one. Wait! There's a suspicious looking man attempting to leave the premisis.

"Hey, you!"

"Me? What's up?"

"Are you an abusive boyfriend?"

"Umm, no? Actually I don't even have a girlfriend."


Hmm. This is more difficult than you thought it would be. You consider your strategy for a moment and then inspiration strikes you: the two women who stayed late after class to talk to Master Red. It must be one of them who has the abusive boyfriend.

Rushing pack to the parking lot you see the two women chatting with each other near a car. You discretely listen in.

"Really? They named themselves after that horrible Jane Fonda villain?"

"I know, right? And can you believe she got naked just for the opening credits? Like, oh my gawd! I know she was covered by the credits, but still."

"And those horrible, horrible dolls! I was so scared I had nightmares for weeks!"


The two women giggle at the memory. Ahh, the 80s. Unfortuantely this isn't helping you. Surely one of them has an abusive boyfriend, but so far neither of them are giving you useful clues.

Suddenly inspired by your new mission, you jump through a nearby window and use the flying shards of glass for concealment while you change into your ninja uniform!

Mode: In uniform

Hitting the ground in a full run, you rush to a busy part of town and find a good streetlight to hide on top of while you observe, looking for suspicious persons.

Stealth Feat: Hide in a busy part of town at night while looking for people. Difficulty 3 (Dude, you're a ninja. It's nighttime. You'll blend in easy. 1d6 roll: 2 Fail!

Well, on the good side, if there were any evil-doers lurking about, surely now that they know there's a ninja in the area they're all busily having heart attacks or running away. That's got to be worth some good karma at least. Checking, you don't see anyone falling to the ground clutching their chests. Lots of people running away though. Fortunately cell phones haven't been invented yet, so nobody's calling the police just yet, but it's probably just a matter of time before somebody finds a payphone. Remember those? Oh, yes. In fact there are some good samaritans frantically dialing right now. Of course, knowing the police you probably have an hour or two before they arrive, unless...oh, nevermind. There's a donut store right there.
