They're either busy or have a separate time-zone, so I wanted to do it for them if so.
Ok, lets get started then....
-
Your adventure starts with your party looking for a job inside of The Kingdom of Shin's guildhall in it's capital city , as you aproach the job board; a female Kitsune wearing a black cloak that conceals her clothing as well as her face approaches your party .
Seeing that your party is currently looking for a job she speaks up: "I seek for your aide, Dear Adventurers. My nation is currently being attacked by the Oni." She said, with a breathy voice.
A man clad in chain-mail, Tengu-made, with a tint of ornate decoration. A 6'4" tall figure with noble traveler's clothes, although in a variety of green, yellow, and crimson colours, it is quite comfortable to see in the eyes. They wear smooth linen pants, and carry a cured-leather backpack. On their neck is a holy emblem of the forge of the Akome Spring. A wolf-tail extrudes out of their coccyx, showing a pure-white tail. For his hair, pure-white with streaks of Auburn on the ends can be seen. His wolf ears are tipped with the auburn colour, but are mostly also white, which includes the hair inside of the ears as well. He only has one pair of ears, and a charismatic gaze coupled with crimson coloured eyes.
Takayanounderstands why he came to the kingdom of Shin. His mother was a Nekomata-Hengeyokai, hence why he came here to check upon her homeland to see if it is well. Takayano rubs off some soot on his hair, and treats this woman with good mannerisms.
"Whyare the Oni attacking our lands all of a sudden? I happen to have employed one in my guild, and came here to have his papers filled incase...I—did not expect such a catastrophe to come." he speaks in a charismatic young-man's tone, only recently passing his puberty relatively un-changed in vocals. He realizes that the woman is a Kitsune after piecing it together, and tenses his shoulders. He replies, "What can we do in this time of aide for you? My parents have taught me well to greet any stranger in need with open arms." he gazes at the rest of the party, not knowing if they will accept her offer. He is willing to do what is needed for them, though.
A medium-sized man wearing normal clothes enters the room with wide eyes and a lifelong curiosity as his fox tail sways in the wind. His hair is clean and black with a tint of blue toward the back. He approaches the woman, smiling before reminding himself "don't go full Blue" - a lesson from his mentors and friends at the monastery.
He smiles once more as he says," Oni you say? Well you can count on us to help you."

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
The unnamed Kitsune was ever so grateful to hear such words from a party of adventures, she with tears of joy said: "T-Thank you ever so much! The thing is..." You heard her accent which you had not heard a moment ago because she had been using a fake accent, her accent was a Australian-like accent.
She explained the situation to you and you found out that the King of The Kingdom of Jigoku; King Thalgroz the Conqueror has started an invasion and that the whole of the Kitsune race was now nearing poverty from the sudden attack.
Her ears which were perked up from the surprise of having adventurers agreeing to help her drooped down under the hood of her cloak as she finished speaking, causig the top of her head resemble a human's.
You, Takayano silently listened as the female told the story, suddenly felt the urge of wanting to be a hero for this woman, you tells her when they can leave for the kingdom that she had come from.
Being that Takayano had obviously started to desire to go there ASAP, Blue Eyes Soul stopped him, remembering that they hadn't bought supplies yet.
He realizes the state of their unprepared party and the fact that he must still full up the legal documents for his Oni guildmate, and apologizes deeply while they nod solemnly. "Where are my manners? You may call me by my first name: Akome. I truly want to aide you in these times of need, but my party and I must be ready if we wish to help your kingdom at war. Plus, I must ensure that my Oni friend can work at my forge guild without any problems to arise. That Oni is a good woman, a stalwart friend and trustworthy person." he speaks in a courteous tone, showing many emotions toward his Oni friend. He seems to care for their well-being like a good friend. Takayano looks at the party that includes Blue Eyes, and says, "I do not think we have spoken to each-other of our names, yes? Let us all introduce ourselves. You all may call me by my last name, Takayano." he holds his hand out to greet everyone else in anticipation.
Basho Shen looks up from the corner, where he'd been listening intently, perhaps shaken by the news. The hood of his cloak has fallen, revealing blue-grey fur and twitching Kitsune ears. His slate-blue eyes flick past Takayano before leaping to his feet, his cloak swirled by a breeze that wasn't present a moment before.
He bows deeply towards the woman. 'I am Basho Shen. Please, tell us your name, and more about the dire straits you find yourself in, and how we might be of assistance..'
Finishing with his address to the woman, he nods in Takayano's direction. 'Introductions all round are a good start indeed. Please call me Basho. Pleased to meet you.' He offers another bow, towards an equal.
"And I!" A short man, no taller than 5'2, with shock straight, dark brown hair, slicked back with plenty of pomade, butted in. He weighed no more than 110 llbs, standing there in his leathers, under a worn dark green cloak with the hood pushed back. His weapons and pack bundled together at his feet, on which he wore simple brown shoes. "I am Salgim! You all may call me so." He gave no bow, but inclined his head deeply.
His face was plain but for his sharp, though not long, beak like nose. A telling trait of a sparrow Hengeyokai. Like many Hengeyokai he kept to his fully human form when socializing.
At 90 years old, Salgim was young for one of his kind and he reveled in it. The freedom to do as he pleased, with a youthful able body.
"Madam, we will need to purchase supplies in preparation, but we will be needing more information." Pausing momentarily to give the young woman a discerning look. Her body language and changing accent had 'put his ears up,' so to speak. "Surely the four of us aren't expected to route King Thalgroz's entire army ourselves? Surely there is something more specific you're needing from us?"
The kitsune woman had anticipated this, thus, she firmly noded clear surprised that she suddenly had four adventures who had offered her their aide, said:
"I-I understand, there had been already been resistance force assembled back home. So do not fret, you won't be fighting alone."
Her head slightly looked up, almost revealing her face. From as far as your party had been concerned, had not appeared to be anthropomorphic at all. She was almost like a human, which was race that had gone extinct a hundred years ago due to a plague.
Seeing this, you got curious went it came to her face which was under the hood, but shrugged it off thinking "I was probably just seeing things."
"About how long would this supply purchasing take? Shall I accompany you?"
She tried to offer to help as she had felt that it was only right for her to help them due to the fact that they did agree to aide her homeland's reisistance.
Takayano understands that it is not his business to judge, and he does not know a single fraction of the human race. He does know, however, that Hengeyokai can transform between animalistic to pure humanoid forms, leaving little marks that differentiate them from a naked animal, or so he thinks.
He exclaims to the woman, "You do not have to accompany us, I will be here in the guildhall to register some paperwork for my Oni guildmate. I will leave the supply work to these capable party members of mine." Akome gestures to the rest of his party while he solemnly bows deeply, making his way to a registry in the guildhall of Shin, registering his Oni friend into the Akome forge guild within his settlement, the Akome Spring, and is fulfilling any extra needs to satisfy concerns.
"I am Blue Eyes Soul, and it is my pleasure to help. If you'd like to accompany us, that's up to you. You are paying us after all." He begins stretching before work.

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
The unnamed kitsune said, already about ready to go through the guildhall's big-in-scale double doors, her three golden brown tails swayed as she turned to face the said doors.
All the members of your party hear a faint sound of small bells as she did so, making you think that she had been carrying an item called the "Kagura Suzu," which is used for enterntainment-related, and ceremonial dances.

Y'all wouldn't mind if i have the next campaign chapter on Discord would you?
Basho, while not inherently a suspicious person, is curious about the kitsune without a name - and while he might not be naturally suspicious, he does have a healthy dose of curiosity about this stranger. His eyes track her as she moves, trying to better understand her.
(OOC: 19 for Perception, to see if he can divine any secrets, or anything out of place)
While he watches he asks, 'I've not travelled much to date, how far will we be travelling? By which I mean, I suppose, what manner of supplies will we need to secure for the journey..?'
Result of Perception check: You notice that something was out of place, she was not the kind of person you think she is. She's actually not someone that you could call a "commoner."
"By horse-drawn carriage, I had brought one with me."
She answered pointing at a carriage once you exited the building that had to horses that was parked in front of the guildhall. She told you that she has driven it by herself with no one accompanying her on her journey, which took a total of three whole days; through the road that lead to and from her homeland.
With her face still covered up by the hood she continued: "And as for the Supplies... I suppose three days worth of food, water, and some potions in case we get ambushed by some bandits or monsters.

What i meant was next chapter, I didn't mean "next campaign". Its too early for a new one, after all lol (that was just a typo, sorry about that)
Takayano completes the registry in a quick amount of time, enough in which he is able to catch up to the rest just as the carriage is pointed out to them.
"My sincere apologies for that. The registration took quite a little amount of time, and I did not expect that." Akome exclaims that as he congregates back into the party, and continues after having a short breath, "What have I missed, good companions? I see that the milady has pointed out a carriage? A sturdy vehicle I can see." He speaks in a tone, rushed, but still has a decency of some charismat and hospitality.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Bells tinkling when she walked. A horse drawn carriage. And, she had traveled three days, alone. On a road, she admittedly understood, held real dangers, be they monsters or bandits. This woman was clearly more than meet the eye.
Salgim was becoming less suspicious, and more intrigued, as he followed she and his group out of the guildhall doors.
"What was the road like on your trip here madam?" Salgim asked, as he made his way over to inspect the currently horseless cariage.
Perception check to see if Salgim can glean anything from the carriage: 15
((have no problem with Discord, mainly because ive never used it. Willing to give it a try but might need a little guidance. Also i think you gave me Takayano's stats in your earlier post. Unless that was intentional let me know.))
Ok, that makes 3 of 4 then. Thanks for going along with it. It means alot since it's kind of a pain to look for new players.
I'll be sending the invite links right after this chapter then as i work on the next events on the next chapter.

"Nothing much, I was just pointing out that we will be traveling using the carriage that I've brought with me."
The unnamed fox replied, turning to the source of the voice that came from behind her.
Perception check result (Salgim): As Salgim looked around the carriage he noticed that there was a faint amount of some kind of magic-like residue on a sack that was placed in a corner, but couldn't figure out what the source of it was.
[Would any like to do another perception check to find out what the source was?]
"Ah, Yes... The road, it's just a forest mostly once you get halfway through the journey. You can easily tell since the road changes from a stone-paved road to a dirt road."
She answered, clearly remembering due to the difference of the road types.
Perception roll result (Salgim): as far as You, Salgim, you found the bag containing scrolls that are used for offensive-type spells. Noticing that you've found it's source, the kitsune explained that she had them for protection against possible Jigoku soldiers that might have followed her on her mission to ask for help from outside.
She closes the bag again, tying the piece of string that had gotten loose when you opened the bag.
Then that was when you and the rest of the party finally started your supply run for the stuff that was needed for the trip.
Ok, lets get started then....
