Assisting Lord Kiyamo would have given you 100 samurai to help in book 3, AND the villagers would have been safe because, as they tell you in the text, Onikaba would have sent a detachment of samurai back to solve the problem of the Hannya and her O-bakemono henchman. The villagers would have been protected either way.
Interesting. I do find this route generally more entertaining to play than the other one but it's good to know that actions have lasting consequences beyond just the present book (as, indeed, we saw with the repercussions for meeting Olvar the Chaos Bringer in book 1 ).
@@raphaelperry8159 Well, yes, but we had no choice with Olvar. We do with Kiyamo, so that's the first time we have a real cross-book choice, apart from the choice of our skills which has an impact across all the books.
@@raphaelperry8159 Oh, yes. One thing I forgot to mention. That Samurai bodyguard also can be a factor in book 4, if you have it. You can select them to be your bodyguard. It costs you popularity with your subjects (who wish you trusted your own citizens more) BUT they are absolutely incorruptible. Which your other bodyguards aren't.
Great episode. Can't wait till the next one!
So close to the end now my friend, keep up the great work

Yeah. It's not quite Lone Wolf level of interconnectedness.

Yeah, this is something I missed in my last read through and suffered for it in book 3 and 4. Perhaps another attempt!
