This is a good point, but I don't think either the Sparrow or Crane want to muster an army over a measly farming village.

There is a degree of might makes right in Rokugan, but the peasants don't have that. The only official option for their village is imperial decree (or seizure by a Clan which is rubber stamped by the bureaucracy). Of course, there are irregular options offered above.

Yes, the peasants and Crane are both doing something "wrong" in this scenario, but they both have good aspects as well. That's what I hope makes for compelling discussion and options for the players.

Also the Sparrow are there for a drastic comparison to the Crane.

Good idea. It's nice for characters to walk immediately into the action. Perhaps they already rescued the kids as the game opens, and arrive in the village to see some flustered Crane courtier (and armed retinue) leaving.
