The Raid on Mount Oe: Shuten Doji's Keep

Tasked with defeating Shuten Doji, the terror of Kyoto, Yorimitsu's band of warriors arrived at the Oni bandit's fortress. At the gates, they were stopped by Shuten Doji's henchmen, who were suspicious of the group's intentions. Claiming to be a party of monks who had been performing ascetic practices in the mountains, the warriors begged for one night's lodging and so were admitted into the fortress.
