Who are these Clowns?
Expecting a long awaited self knowledge only to discover these relatively weak pets. Startled me pretty good though, first time it happened ;-)

What exactly did you activate? I don't see anything weird in your dump in terms of activations.

The Inro of Mito Koumon. Normally activates for Self Knowledge, but perhaps ninjas get something special? I must confess to not getting most of the references in Hengband ...

No, I think the artifact description is wrong, the Inro always summons those 'clowns' (you named em correctly) and doesn't do self-knowledge ever, if i remember correctly. I saw it in the source a while back when I was looking for other stuff. Probably another Japanese tv-show reference. After some googling I found this: http://www.e-budokai.com/chambara/mitokomon.htm :).

no, nothing is wrong with the description 'reveal your identity', if you catch the idea that *you* are Mito Mitsukuni the Yellow Gate in disguise.
of course this is a joke and in fact hardly of use, for he and his servitors are mere mortal men...

Oh, I get it now.

But wasn't Mito Komon, like, really old, while most 'band characters are, like, pretty young?

Thanks for the Info/Research on this one. It is much appreciated :-)

Guess I always just assumed the activation was Self Knowledge and never actually tried it out. Odd. I wonder how many more surprises Heng has in store for me ... even after 3 years of play!
