Alt-Onin: Fort Nodo

 Rough reference notes on the stronghold under construction:

The red star on the attached map is a 400m high mountain with nothing on it. It is directly above Shitaba, roughly 3/4 miles away up a 25* slope. The trail has been improved to allow easier travel, with a guide rope for use at night. A couple of stone barricades are set up where a few fighters can block access with archery and spears. An abandoned Shinto shrine is at the top, with a wooden wall and stone foundations. These are what the peasants are working on repairing and building.  

Wall: So far, the peasants have repaired the walls, which are about three yards high and made of wood. They will provide cover from missile fire, but the stronghold relies on elevation and steep slopes for defense. Heavy Cover (-6), +4 Obstacle. A 4' tall berm behind the wall allows defenders to fire over the wall while still getting Medium Cover (-4). 

Front Gate: The trail ends at a large wooden gate facing northwest towards Shibata. A shielded walkway above it allows a guard to fire down upon someone in front of the gate. Heavy Cover (-6), +6 Obstacle.

Cistern: There is a stone cistern to hold rainwater, as there are no water sources up there. 

Watchtower: A nicely done watchtower that rises above the treeline has been mostly finished. It stands 30', over the tree tops, and affords a 360 view of the entire region, with a horizon view of about 40 miles under ideal conditions. The tower is strong enough to resist most storms. 

Building: A single large warehouse-style building is roughly 60' by 30', 25' high internally at the top. One-quarter of it is framed for a tatami floor but is unfurnished for now. The building is stout enough to withstand most storms. A small kitchen is set up at the opposite end of the building. A nearby latrine empties down an unused mountainside, where rain should keep things sanitary. 

Stable: A rough stable for eight horses has been built at the edge of Shibata, beside the trailhead to the fort. One of the local families is tasked with maintaining it and the horses.
