Persuasion "A gift, Mantis, from my Lord Paneki. And now that I have your attention, I have a proposition ..." -The Death of Aramasu, Part I

Scorpion Distractor "As the Mantis split the Scorpion treasures, none noticed the men stealing aboard Aramasu's vessel." The Death of Aramasu, Part II

Outmaneuvred by Force "An Emperor cannot lead if no one follows him, Kaneka-sama. I would give you an army, and you deny me?" -The Death of Amarasu, Part III

Shosuro Higatsuku "Clearly the son of Toturi is unimpressed by your churlish manner, Aramasu-sama. Perhaps I can make an offer he will find more interesting?" -The Death of Aramasu, Part IV

Acquiring Favor "The offer is a simple one, Lord Kaneka. Give the Scorpion our vengance upon the traitor Aramasu, and we shall give you the aid of a truly Great Clan." - The Death of Aramasu, Part V

Outmaneuvred in Court "Aramasu turned to the harbour, watching in horror as his vessel sank in flames. Akodo Kaneka said nothing, showing favour to neither Scorpion nor Mantis." -The Death of Aramasu, Part VI

Show of Strength "Some wondered whether Kitao's late arrival was truly an accident..." - The Death of Aramasu, Part VIII

Traitor's Grove "You have had your blood, Scorpion, just as we arranged," Kitao whispered, "but I shall have my victory as well." With that she buried her blade in the Scorpion's throat. - The Death of Aramasu, part IX

Reassert One's Mettle "Though Kitao had arrived too late to save Aramasu, she was not too late to take vengeance upon those who had slain him." - The Death of Aramasu, Part IX

No One Wins "Few Scorpion survived Kitao's vengeance, but it was as we planned. The Lady of the Mantis thinks us defeated, her pawns. As it should be." - Bayushi Kamnan, The Death of Aramasu, part X
