Now I want a story where Julie d’Aubigny and Sasaki Rui travel the world in the 17th century being sword badasses

Ishigaya: Please. Stop being so cool
Rui: I can't

Grace O'Malley - Wikipedia
But unfortunately a century early
A Grinning DM
Yeah she was one of the first I thought of
A Grinning DM
But an adventuring party of three badass ladies, a “samurai”, a bard, and a pirate, adventuring across the 17th century world. I want to see that
