Hantei Dave: just waiting for raab now
Togashi Udon: ccccoooooooooooolllllll (goes to read)
Hantei Dave: i'll have some poetry, new letters, and private windows messages up also eventually
Hantei Dave: oh, and a little thing I wrote about Sousha non-existant journey
Hantei Dave: its a journal entry from Mirimoto Sukune about Sousha
Togashi Udon: ccccooooooollll!!!
Hantei Dave: and yohei is here too today
Hantei Dave: (waves)
Hantei Dave: unless you guys wanted to play more with the ronin I have no problem skipping a day or 2 ahead to the badger clan
KibagamiKuno: skip skip
KibagamiKuno: skip to my ... udon?
Togashi Udon: doh! heheh
Hantei Dave: ok, Sousha and Shinjoten are slighty behind you guys making sure no ogres follow you
KibagamiKuno: better than skipping to the loo. I figure everyone just skips away from it. You must be so tired of hearing these jokes lol
Hantei Dave: WHAP...get thee to a punnery
Togashi Udon: not tired, just used to it
Hantei Dave: whaps Raab
KibagamiKuno: ooh, can i try?
KibagamiKuno: whaps raab
Hantei Dave: so does Nabiko get more or less attractive the more story we create for her? lol
Hantei Dave: i always like her more and more
KibagamiKuno: i'm still trying to figure out why she was running around in the mountains shirtless when she nearly froze to death on the river.
Hantei Dave: she has a thin kimono that comes on and off...like udon
Hantei Dave: those wacky ise zumi
KibagamiKuno: (and i wouldn't worry about kuno noticing a thing like that, samurai tend to be covered in nicks and cuts and scars. It just kinda
comes with the territory. Ever see Blood of Heroes?)
Hantei Dave: great movie\
Hantei Dave: hehe
Hantei Dave: wonder if thats on dvd
Hantei Dave: need that and Barb Wire
Hantei Dave: recently picked up Galaxina and Barbarella...need my sexy sci fi chick collection now
Togashi Udon: josh--that was well before your river outing
KibagamiKuno: there's an old Gangs movie about NYC, lots of territories and such, much like cp2020.
KibagamiKuno: lots of poseur gangs
Togashi Udon: before udon had the tanto
KibagamiKuno: yes, i know, just figured she was a warm-weather person
Hantei Dave: worn-weather anyway
Hantei Dave: badummpbamp
KibagamiKuno: doesn't matter - bet she keeps her shirt on now tho!
Hantei Dave: i think she wears that thing around her chest like the female archers
Hida Oku: hey back, sorry
Hantei Dave: like bandages almost
Hantei Dave: cool
KibagamiKuno: that's kinda how i saw it. Akane-esque.
Hantei Dave: yah
Togashi Udon: dave is afraid of the one nippled npc!
Hantei Dave: SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hantei Dave: i can never date her now
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Togashi Udon: you couldnt before either--shes not real
KibagamiKuno: lol, she might figure what's good for the gander is good for...
Hantei Dave: (all the players cut off a nipple)
Hida Oku: so, what's going on?
Hida Oku: argh!
Hida Oku: no!
Hantei Dave: ok then...let the Badger do it
Hida Oku: all hida msut have two strong nipples!
Togashi Udon: feh
Hantei Dave: ONWARD!
Hida Oku: just us tonight?
Hantei Dave: the road becomes less developed as you contiinue on
Hantei Dave: (more to come raab)
Hantei Dave: but it is still an easy walk for you all and the pony
Hantei Dave: i mean mule
Hantei Dave: its a rocky hill landscape
Hantei Dave: hard to farm...but fertile land
Hantei Dave: not many villiges right here though...not well protected areas
Hantei Dave: but by mid afternoon you see a battlement on a hill not far away...houses are sparsly distributed around the area...very sparsly
Hida Oku: what land are we in?
Hantei Dave: it is obvious you were spotted long ago
Hantei Dave: Badger now Oku
Hida Oku: ok
Togashi Udon: a battlement. This is the Badger? I need to deliver this scroll..
Togashi Udon: Shall we go to the battlement and find a samurai?
Hida Oku: I think we should
Hantei Dave: oku: make histroy roll
Hantei Dave: history
Hantei Dave: everyone else can also make it at additional -4
Hantei Dave: if you want to
Hantei Dave: guess not
Hida Oku: nope
KibagamiKuno: 16
Hantei Dave: Kuno: sorry
KibagamiKuno: np
Hantei Dave: Oku failed too
Hantei Dave: ^_^
Togashi Udon: 19
Hantei Dave: oops...do you have the history skill Udon?
Hantei Dave: cause it is an additional -4 if not
Togashi Udon: i used folklore,since these aremy lands. and i tok off -4
Hantei Dave: folklore? well, ok then. You hear the Badger's are giants!!!
Hantei Dave: ^_^
Hantei Dave: not the same as history on that one :P
Hida Oku: giant badgers? ooh, scary
Togashi Udon: yeah, they are fat
Hantei Dave: FAT GIANTS!
Hantei Dave: that don't smell as bad as ugly Lions
Togashi Udon: heh
Hida Oku: well that's good
Togashi Udon: so lets go to the battlements and find a fat giant samurai
Hantei Dave: well, you can see a group of samurai assemble to meet you..on the ground as well as up top the battlement
Hantei Dave: you are still far away
Hantei Dave: did you want to do anything initially?
Hida Oku: i'm fine
Togashi Udon: I'm good
Hantei Dave: Khno draws 6 swords
Hantei Dave: or are you good too kuno?
Hantei Dave: poke
KibagamiKuno: sorry, poetry
Hantei Dave: hehe
KibagamiKuno: i'm fine for now.
Togashi Udon: want to read them some versus?
Hantei Dave: ok, you 4 (yohei's good) march up the rocky hill
KibagamiKuno: not yet heh
Hantei Dave: there are 6 bushi lumbering around the small tower battlement watching you hike up and others looking down at you (number
unknown...at least 3)
Hantei Dave: they are rather big actually
KibagamiKuno: Udon: any particular badger you have to deliver it to?
Hantei Dave: sorta like Crab samurai but taller..like Dragons
Togashi Udon: the diyamo
Hida Oku: I want to look around dave, and count the # on the wall. Keen Eyesight'
Hantei Dave: they hold rather large weapons too
Hantei Dave: ono's, tetsubo's etc
Hida Oku: heh, cool
Hantei Dave: They look less then diplomatic. One spits
Hantei Dave: roll Oku
Hantei Dave: but hidden is hidden
Togashi Udon: "I bring a scroll for your honorable Diamyo." (bow)
Hida Oku: 26
KibagamiKuno: (just stand there, arms crossed)
Togashi Udon: (assuming we are in talking range-sorry)
Hantei Dave: (you are)
Hantei Dave: He spits again
Hantei Dave: "Who you with?"
Hantei Dave: "You got papers?"
KibagamiKuno: "Only one that matters, and it's for your daimyo"
Keshijo has entered the room.
Hida Oku: kesh!
Hantei Dave: Shinjoten sneaks up behind you all
Keshijo: Hi Everybody
KibagamiKuno: kesh: badger
Hida Oku: we're arguing with dumb badgers
Togashi Udon: "We bring the scroll from Elemental Lord Isawa Tsuke."
Hantei Dave: do you all weight while this goes on?
Hantei Dave: or do you want to bug these guys some more
Togashi Udon: Pardon, but is Hideo-sama the daimyo or not?
Hantei Dave: wait rather
Hida Oku: I'll bug him more
Hida Oku: heh
Hantei Dave: "Lord Ichiro Hideo is the son of the Daimyo who is feeling ill."
Togashi Udon: "I hope he feels better soon." (bow)
Hantei Dave: "Along with his brother, Koturi-sama, they do their father's duty for now."
KibagamiKuno: "If he is acting as daimyo, and next in the daimyo's line, that seems a suitable recipient for the elemental master's message."
Hantei Dave: "yep..." he agrees
Togashi Udon: "I agree."
Hantei Dave: "It'll be either Koturi-sama or Hideo-sama"
KibagamiKuno: "Which one's bigger?"
Togashi Udon: (goes back to whistling)
Hantei Dave: after awhile someone calls down the from battlement again
Hantei Dave: "Hey! He says it's ok!"
Hantei Dave: The guard says, "Hideo-sama's bigger. You can go on in."
Togashi Udon: "Thank you."
KibagamiKuno: "domo."
Togashi Udon: (go in)
KibagamiKuno: (when in brute-land, do as the brutes do.)
Hantei Dave: you finish the slight incline over this rocky hill and see more like it with scattered houses and another 2 battlements
Togashi Udon: (you gonna start spitting?)
KibagamiKuno: i spit in my udon (kidding)
Hantei Dave: you see no villigers btw.. only bushi here and there mostly as guards and messengers
Hantei Dave: under the larger battlement (up ahead) there are the most people, houses, and some construction occuring
KibagamiKuno: (do the people seem distracted and depressed as they do elsewhere?)
Hantei Dave: ...and Toro is hiking back over to you
Hantei Dave: no. They seem like a place that don't have to worry about villigers
KibagamiKuno: (i wonder how they eat)
Togashi Udon: Does he lead us to Hideo-sama?
Hantei Dave: Toro: "He's up ahead at the construction area." (walks past you)
Keshijo: "Why all the construction?"
Togashi Udon: Ok then...
Hantei Dave: "Why not?"
Hantei Dave: its obvious all battlements are watching you btw
Keshijo: Can I tell what they're building?
KibagamiKuno: (wood rot from all the spitting)
Togashi Udon: hehe
Hantei Dave: looks like a small stone wall Kuno
Togashi Udon: Lets go get a closer look at that construction.
KibagamiKuno: (you mean shin)
Keshijo: "Good to build walls. War's a-brewin'."
Togashi Udon: and hopefully find hideo
Hantei Dave: you approach the construction. You can now see a small castle over the next ridge too btw. AND another 2 battlements in the
distance
Hantei Dave: there is alot of activity here
KibagamiKuno: a lot of battlements for a quiet front
Hantei Dave: alot of bushi working steadily
KibagamiKuno: i wonder if they do anything else but build battlements
Keshijo: "Why no peasants doing all this?"
Hantei Dave: There is a huge brutish man barking orders
Hantei Dave: HUGE
Togashi Udon: "Excuse me, we are looking for Ichiro Hideo-sama."
Hantei Dave: looks at Udon for a moment. "I heard."
KibagamiKuno: (shin: no peasants.)
Keshijo: (Kuno: I'm trying to figure out why...)
Hantei Dave: "Hey! More materials on THAT end!" (points)
KibagamiKuno: (spit it out udon)
Togashi Udon: "Could you piont us in the right direction?"
Hantei Dave: "No! THAT END!"
Hantei Dave: he points downwards
Hantei Dave: while looking at the workers
KibagamiKuno: I push udon down "Give the sama the scroll."
Togashi Udon: Look at where he is pointing
Hantei Dave: (at his own feet it seems)
Hantei Dave: "I'm Hidea."
Hantei Dave: o
Togashi Udon: Oh.
KibagamiKuno: (biff)
Togashi Udon: Sorry, sama. I bring this scroll to you from Elemental Master Isawa Tsuke."
Togashi Udon: (Bow & offer scroll)
Suzume Sousha has entered the room.
Hantei Dave: Sousha runs up
Suzume Sousha: konichiwa
Hida Oku: shoush!
Togashi Udon: (full house! Hi Sousha!)
Keshijo: Hey Rishard.
Hantei Dave: ^_^
Hantei Dave: one sec guys
Hantei Dave: fill rishard in real quick please
KibagamiKuno: here we are in the badger castle,
KibagamiKuno: standing in front of the daimyo's bigger son,
KibagamiKuno: who is orchestra construction efforts.
KibagamiKuno: Udon has just offered him the scroll
Togashi Udon: :-)
Suzume Sousha: ok
KibagamiKuno: (orchestrating)
KibagamiKuno: (did he take it?)
Hantei Dave: He looks at Udon and then at the scroll and grabs it (with one hand..undiplomatically)
KibagamiKuno: "Thank you for allowing us to fulfill our obligation to bring this scroll to you."
KibagamiKuno: (bow)(take a few steps backward, readying to leave)
Hantei Dave: a shugenga walks up from the hill
Togashi Udon: (follow kuno's lead)
Hantei Dave: "What is it brother? Is this anyway to treat guests?"
Hantei Dave: He is a pleasent looking man in light robes
Suzume Sousha: If I am there I follow kuno as well
Hantei Dave: "I am Ichiro Koturi, acting Daimyo with my brother, Hideo. Thank you for the delivery."
KibagamiKuno: "Thank you for seeing us, today we are but messengers - we eat less than guests :-) "
Hantei Dave: Hideo already opened it
Hantei Dave: he looks it over briefly
Togashi Udon: Nice to meet you sama."
Hantei Dave: and shrugs.
Keshijo: I bow low.
Hantei Dave: "Shugenga nonsense."
Hantei Dave: He hands it to Koturi.
Hantei Dave: "Thank you brother." says Koturi. He bows slightly back to you.
Hantei Dave: His eyebrows raise. "Well, this must certainly be an important gift. My thanks. Can I offer you stay tonight?"
KibagamiKuno: tea time
Hantei Dave: already?
KibagamiKuno: dave: Would it be fun to stay here tonight?
Togashi Udon: (look at the others, whatchu think?)
Hantei Dave: ah...good question. feel free to leave. If you aren't starting trouble neither am I.
Suzume Sousha: :-)
Togashi Udon: famous last words
Hida Oku: I've got no beef here
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hida Oku: not yet
KibagamiKuno: probably easier to get away from the brutes while the gettins good
Suzume Sousha: It seems the lsess we stay in one spot the less trouble happens
Keshijo: Trouble is our business...
KibagamiKuno: i agree soush
Hida Oku: we are trouble!
Keshijo: Besides, I'm still not used to not getting thrown out...
KibagamiKuno: thus the less we stay in one spot, the less trouble we make heh
Hida Oku: so we should stay then?
KibagamiKuno: or go.
KibagamiKuno: if we stay it could be trouble...
Hida Oku: i've got a quota to fill
Togashi Udon: if we go it will be double...
KibagamiKuno: :-)
KibagamiKuno: i guess we stay then, lol
Hida Oku: but we can leave
Togashi Udon: what could possibly happen in 1 night?
Hida Oku: you know.... defeat evil and all that jazz
Hida Oku: udon........
KibagamiKuno: go see the unicorn...
Hida Oku: I love the unicorn!
Togashi Udon: and I NEVER may get another chance to get us kicked out of here ever again...
Keshijo: Flying girls, dead Emperors.... Nothing big.
Hantei Dave: ^_^
KibagamiKuno: come on and let dave know...
Hida Oku: someone flip a coin
Keshijo: It's a free night's lodginh...
KibagamiKuno: flipping
Keshijo: err.. lodging...
Keshijo: Let's stay.
KibagamiKuno: heads or tails udon?
Togashi Udon: i am all for staying with the salt of the earth
KibagamiKuno: to stay
Suzume Sousha: go!
Togashi Udon: nope, never mind--maybe we should go (turns white--backs up alittle)
Hida Oku: stay then
Suzume Sousha: (run for your lives!)
Togashi Udon: Yup. Time to leave.
Hida Oku: I'll flip ya
Hida Oku: flip ya for real
KibagamiKuno: i flipped for staying, someone call it
Hida Oku: (what movie?)
Hantei Dave: Yohei thinks staying is a good idea too
Hida Oku: shut up, yohei!
Hantei Dave: the mule munches
Suzume Sousha: I think we should flip him and see which side he lands on
Hantei Dave: Yohei moves behind the mule
KibagamiKuno: ok back to the game
KibagamiKuno: ---
Hantei Dave: ok...staying or going?
KibagamiKuno: "Domo arigato sama, it has been a long journey and we would appreciate a place to rest for the night"
Togashi Udon: Udon is white and backing away...
KibagamiKuno: (heh, i didn't say what kind of honorable reputation)
Togashi Udon: (Coughs) Is Matsu Hinagi here?
Hantei Dave: "I don't know that one." says Hideo.
Hantei Dave: "Don't mind Mudoto. He's a bum always taking ronin jobs. He's more usefull to the highest payer."
KibagamiKuno: "I guess we didn't expect to find them apart..."
Hantei Dave: "Small town...."
Keshijo: "How's his memory?"
Hantei Dave: "Good wall."
Hantei Dave: "ask him."
KibagamiKuno: "Well, if you have a stable or barn we could rest up in, we'll get out of your way in the morning"
Hantei Dave: A girl is walking up the hill now
Hantei Dave: also in shugenja robes
Togashi Udon: I do have a few questions to ask him...
KibagamiKuno: (one question leads to another)
Hantei Dave: "I have brought water to my two favorite Daimyo's" she bows
Hantei Dave: "Sorry to interrupt."
Keshijo: I bow as she approaches.
Hantei Dave: everyone make a perception roll...tell me if you beat 24
Suzume Sousha: I bow as well and sneak a good peak
Hantei Dave: sight
Suzume Sousha: nope
Hida Oku: 24
Hantei Dave: \sousha: she isn't half bad...a good 7
Togashi Udon: no
Keshijo: Nope. Close...
Suzume Sousha: yeah very close
Hantei Dave: Koturi: "Ahem...Momuko. These good men are messengers from Lord Tsuke."
KibagamiKuno: lol, failed perception
Hantei Dave: She bows a second time slightly
Togashi Udon: (alkward bow)
Hantei Dave: "This is Momuko...my brother's betrothed."
Hida Oku: ah
Keshijo: (And the heavens fell silent, Jigoku froze over and the sun shined in the shadowlands: Kuno failed a perception roll...)
Hantei Dave: Hideo nods to her with a smile as his attention goes back to construction
KibagamiKuno: i rolled a 6 heh
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Hantei Dave: Koturi: "Momuko, will you please show our guests to rooms?"
KibagamiKuno: i don't suppose they can both have her, eh?
Togashi Udon: (ruin it why dont you?)
Hantei Dave: She starts to walk off expecting you to follow
Keshijo: I follow.
Hantei Dave: Yohei leads the mule
KibagamiKuno: i follow.
Suzume Sousha: as do I
Togashi Udon: I follow, but watch Mudoto...
Hantei Dave: oku too?
Hantei Dave: Udon: he ducked behind a house
Hantei Dave: after looking a little suspicious
KibagamiKuno: right, udon watches mudoto, sticking out from both sides of the house.
Hantei Dave: lol
Togashi Udon: hehe
Hantei Dave: you are brought to the main keep
Hantei Dave: Momuko shows you all to quarters (2 in each). SHe apologizes for small quarters and general room
Hantei Dave: you decide the arrangements
KibagamiKuno: i'll go with udon, if that's ok
Togashi Udon: ok
Hantei Dave: 3 in one room (Yohei)
Hida Oku: I'll go with kesh
Hida Oku: if it's ok with him
KibagamiKuno: we'll take the middle room
Hantei Dave: oh wait...i don't count
Hida Oku: no yohei for me
Hantei Dave: yohei and sousha then
Hantei Dave: ^_^
Keshijo: Oku: okay.
Hantei Dave: well, you are all brought an adequet meal
Hantei Dave: some tea
Suzume Sousha: wow
Hantei Dave: and eventually it is nightfall. Anyone got plans tonight?
Togashi Udon: "Domo."
Suzume Sousha: thank you
Suzume Sousha: hmmm
Togashi Udon: Do we have plans tonight?
KibagamiKuno: I peak out our window...
Keshijo: Maybe a walk...
Suzume Sousha: probably sleep . . . or try to as per usual. Dreaming of a 7.
Keshijo: I would like to practice sparring...
Hantei Dave: very heavy patrol units Kuno
Togashi Udon: all go together...
Keshijo: Are our rooms private?
KibagamiKuno: k, how close to our window?
Hantei Dave: kesh: yes
KibagamiKuno: kesh, i'll practice with you if you want
KibagamiKuno: are there guards in the hallway?
Hantei Dave: kuno: it is only a 3 story structure. you are on 1st floor
Hantei Dave: there is a small courtyard
Hantei Dave: that each of your room look into
Hantei Dave: Kuno: yes
Hantei Dave: guards walk the halls
KibagamiKuno: ok, but don't stand at attention at the end.
Hantei Dave: no...not indoors
Hantei Dave: but outdoors there is a continuous watch
KibagamiKuno: ok, can the windows be heavily bolted?
Keshijo: So what about the courtyard?
Hantei Dave: with what?
Keshijo: Is it private?
KibagamiKuno: dunno, this is a fortress right?
Togashi Udon: Shin, want to go check it out?
Hantei Dave: kesh: no guards in the courtyard..but many can see into it
Hantei Dave: and don't forget the battlemtents
Togashi Udon: fully armed
Hantei Dave: kuno: more like a small castle
Togashi Udon: ready for trouble
Hantei Dave: all fully armed
KibagamiKuno: any idea if people are walking about outside?
KibagamiKuno: like regular people? or is everyone either on guard duty or asleep?
KibagamiKuno: "asleep"
Hantei Dave: looks like only bushi here
Hantei Dave: in this area
Hantei Dave: and at least 2 shugenja ^_-
Hantei Dave: anyone walking?
Togashi Udon: Anyone want to check out that courtyard, fully armed?
KibagamiKuno: I was wondering whether we all just wanted to "relax outside with some sake"
Hantei Dave: udon says to Kuno
Hantei Dave: Kuno holds up the sake he requested
Togashi Udon: no sake for me (hold stomach)
KibagamiKuno: (heh, kuno holds up a water bottle...)
Hantei Dave: kesh, oku sousha? sake?
KibagamiKuno: (cause we're not about to get toasty tonight)
Keshijo: Maybe a little...
KibagamiKuno: OK, let's do this:
Hida Oku: no sake for me tonight
Togashi Udon: Anyone going for a walk, fully armed?
Hida Oku: I don't trust them here
Keshijo: Maybe I'll go with Udon...
Togashi Udon: fully armed?
KibagamiKuno: I lock the door to our room, push a chest or something in front of it, open the window wide, and step out
Keshijo: Mostly armed...
Keshijo: :-)
Suzume Sousha: sake . . . hmmm
Suzume Sousha: no
Hantei Dave: through the winow?
Hantei Dave: window?
KibagamiKuno: well, how small is it?
Hantei Dave: just might look odd
Togashi Udon: like yous a ninja or something...
Hantei Dave: I'll roll chance of begin spoted
KibagamiKuno: not when i just sit there and drink it won't.
Hantei Dave: if you try
Hantei Dave: well, why not use the door then?
Togashi Udon: lets just go to the courtyard fully armed and you can sit and drink...
Suzume Sousha: because he's a ninja? :-)
KibagamiKuno: I open the window, scoot out, then take a big swig of the skin (water) and wipe my mouth on my sleeve.
Hantei Dave: sitting on window right?
KibagamiKuno: "Cmon little friend, you're next.
KibagamiKuno: Nope, on the ground in the courtyard.
KibagamiKuno: "It's nice out here"
Hantei Dave: so you physically climbed out
Hantei Dave: O_o
Hantei Dave: dave rolls chance
KibagamiKuno: "Soush! get out here and drink with me!"
KibagamiKuno: (not being subtle)
Hantei Dave: (I know)
KibagamiKuno: i take another swig.
Hantei Dave: you all hear that
Suzume Sousha: ok
Suzume Sousha: I run out to kuno to take a drink
Keshijo: Udon: "Let's go."
Hida Oku: oh boy
Hantei Dave: a guard turns a corner and watches at a distance of about 25 feet
Suzume Sousha: who seems a bit more . . . un kuno like :-)
Togashi Udon: (I place all of Kuno's swords right next to the wind, all proped up, just in case.)
KibagamiKuno: I pass soush the skin (it's water)
Hantei Dave: kesh: dif room from udon
KibagamiKuno: no need udon, they're on me.
Togashi Udon: then ill go out with my staff.
KibagamiKuno: i'm a samurai. Why would i take them off?
KibagamiKuno: I look up at the stars.
Hantei Dave: not skin (blasphemy)...maybe shark skin)
KibagamiKuno: "Ha! The big dragon!"
Togashi Udon: (no shirt-tattoos showing)
Suzume Sousha: big dragon???
Suzume Sousha: I stare at the sky too
Hantei Dave: well, you all have a little bit of merryment
KibagamiKuno: (cassiopea)
Suzume Sousha: ahhh udon . . .
Keshijo: Oh. Okay. Where am I?
Togashi Udon: yes, sousha?
KibagamiKuno: I point out a few more constellations
Suzume Sousha: nothing
Hantei Dave: kesh: either with oku in room or outside
Togashi Udon: right.
KibagamiKuno: How many guards are watching us still?
KibagamiKuno: as i "look up at the stars"
Hantei Dave: Kuno: 1 it seems
Togashi Udon: aaahhh, sousha?
Keshijo: Ah. Okay. I close the window in mine and Oku's room.
Suzume Sousha: I stare up in wonderment because I only see stars :-)
KibagamiKuno: ok, i ignore him for a while.
Hantei Dave: but after a while another approaches you all
Hantei Dave: and asks you to return to rooms so as not to disturb the Lord who is sick
Keshijo: "Oku, you seem to know the 'art' and I fear I may get out of practice. Care to spar?
Keshijo: "
KibagamiKuno: "(oh! Gomen! We'll be quieter)"
Hida Oku: sure
Hantei Dave: sparring might be a little loud
Togashi Udon: (like Oku vs. Kesh will be loud?!?!)
Suzume Sousha: (<---- wonders if kuno is a loud drunk)
Hida Oku: but indoors.... no need to invite prying eyes
Keshijo: Hai.
KibagamiKuno: ok, i guess we go back in.
KibagamiKuno: If nothing else, that should leave the guards watchful of the courtyard...
Suzume Sousha: I folow back in still staring at the sky till I get to the door
Togashi Udon: Purhaps outside? Walkaround fully armed for a bit?
Hantei Dave: ok. well, if you are all done embarressing yourselves (good thing noone asked your identities)
KibagamiKuno: what papers?
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hida Oku: ready, kesh?
Hantei Dave: noone even flashed a tanto
KibagamiKuno: nothing embarassing, people look at stars all the time heh.
Hantei Dave: yes, it was very courtly of you kuno
Keshijo: Okay. Oku and I behind closed doors, with the windows closed, practice unarmed fighting that is surprisingly quiet....
KibagamiKuno: udon - i'm not sure they'd like us wandering around armed to help them patrol...
Hantei Dave: hehehe...i won't even roll it our you 2 :P
Hantei Dave: out
Togashi Udon: course not...
KibagamiKuno: even if we did bump into a friend of yours
Togashi Udon: never stopped us before though...
KibagamiKuno: he rolled before.
KibagamiKuno: not that the results were any different heh
Hantei Dave: do you want to meet him Udon?
KibagamiKuno: "I am more concerned with getting you out of here in one piece"
KibagamiKuno: "and me, too."
Hantei Dave: where are you soush? in room or outside?
KibagamiKuno: "Killing their fat mascot doesn't seem like a wise idea, regardless of how much i'd like to help you get revenge."
Suzume Sousha: room
Suzume Sousha: walked back in after kuno went in
Suzume Sousha: since he was the one that called me out

Togashi Udon: Chace the Dragon Sousha!
Hantei Dave: hehehe\
Togashi Udon: Chase
Hantei Dave: you know which door it was as you turn the corner
Suzume Sousha: "Who's in there"
Togashi Udon: (some of us should help sousha, some should guard the rooms)
Suzume Sousha: "I know you ran into the room"
Togashi Udon: I'll do either
KibagamiKuno: kesh is helping soush, udon is in the room with me.
Hantei Dave: some guards are approaching
Togashi Udon: Kesh followed, what about Kuno?
Hantei Dave: they ask whats the matter
Suzume Sousha: I turn to the guards "Do you know who stays in this room?"
Togashi Udon: sorry
Hantei Dave: that leads out to the gate
Hantei Dave: they open the door
Suzume Sousha: doh!
Togashi Udon: Oku followed?
KibagamiKuno: <snigger snigger>
Hantei Dave: noone in there Sousha
Suzume Sousha: Is Kuno outside anywhere still?
Hantei Dave: "wahts the problem?"
Togashi Udon: BS!
KibagamiKuno: no, i'm still in the room with udon. Doors and windows barricaded.
Suzume Sousha: doh
Togashi Udon: I am going to open the door, Kuno.
Suzume Sousha: "Someone was in front of my door spying upon us"
KibagamiKuno: "patience, let him come..."
Suzume Sousha: "I chased them out but didn't see who it was"
Hantei Dave: "there has been some noises out here tonight. Maybe your friends were loitering. We will increase watch here sir."
Suzume Sousha: "I tracked them down to here but you know the rest"
Togashi Udon: ...they wont come then...
KibagamiKuno: heh, they'll just try harder...
Suzume Sousha: "My friends wouldn't run from me, but thank you for keeping an eye out
Hantei Dave: they nod
Hantei Dave: down at you
Hantei Dave: ^_^
Keshijo: I make a note of which door.
Hantei Dave: ok kesh
Hantei Dave: the rest of the night goes by...smoother
Togashi Udon: ...
Suzume Sousha: I look to see if there any tracks on the ground that are new
Hantei Dave: do you have a skill for detection or something sousha?
Keshijo: I make a note of the patrols over the next hour.
Hantei Dave: tracking perhaps
Suzume Sousha: hunting
Suzume Sousha: no tracking
Hantei Dave: hmmm...roll half hunting
Hantei Dave: so if you have a 6 it is a 3
Hantei Dave: you can round up
Suzume Sousha: 15
Hantei Dave: you don't catch anything sousha
Suzume Sousha: okey doke
Hantei Dave: rather, nothing catches your eye
Hantei Dave: if thats it for tonight....you can all wake up in the morning and be off
Keshijo: Is there a patern to the patroling?
Hantei Dave: after breakfast ^_-
Hantei Dave: doesn't seem so kesh
Hantei Dave: or a very complex one
KibagamiKuno: do we see skip's friend on the way out?
Suzume Sousha: oooh breakfast sounds good
Togashi Udon: At breakfast, if any of the family are there, i will offer a healing prayer for the ailing daimyo.
Hantei Dave: ok Udon. Koturi was there. He thanks you
Hantei Dave: Hideo wsa out earlier than you all
Hantei Dave: so, you are all off then?
Hantei Dave: everyone make one more sight roll hard....26
Suzume Sousha: nope
Togashi Udon: did i heal the daimyo?
Keshijo: Um.. no... 15.
Hantei Dave: Udon: oh you want to SEE him?
Hantei Dave: he is not seeing visitors right now
KibagamiKuno: 29
Togashi Udon: ok then
Hantei Dave: after you pass the hill near the first battlement again, a samurai grabs keshijo's shoulder
Hida Oku: back
Hida Oku: we dead yet?
Hantei Dave: he is alone but the battlements can still see you
Hida Oku: uh oh
Keshijo: "Can I help you?"
Hida Oku: what happened?
KibagamiKuno: are we inside or outside?
KibagamiKuno: (of their whole facility)
Hantei Dave: "Toturi is not far from here. Due west...past a twisted grove of trees." He flips the hoe over his shoulder and starts walking off.
"Don't follow me."
Keshijo: "Hai. Thank you."
Hantei Dave: outside...near the 1st battlement kuno
Keshijo: "Gentlemen. Shall we go?"
Hantei Dave: you all heard that bushi
Hantei Dave: he was obvious
KibagamiKuno: Kuno is very eager to go
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Togashi Udon: I think there is nothing left here for me. (look at battlement)
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: some people on the battlement look back
Hantei Dave: you head off west i assume
KibagamiKuno: yup..
KibagamiKuno: well i do heh
Keshijo: Yup.
Hantei Dave: again, you are pretty much off any road but it is fairly easy travel...especially with the mule
Togashi Udon: (Carry tanto in hand as we leave, just for the hell of it)
Hantei Dave: ok Udon
Hantei Dave: after about 2 hours walk, you come across the groves of trees. Some apple trees mixed in here.
Hantei Dave: it is quite pretty
Hantei Dave: you can see it slope downhill for some ways
Hantei Dave: it is a large area
Hantei Dave: but easy to pass through.
Hantei Dave: anyone doing anything?
Togashi Udon: walking... being bait...
Hantei Dave: special that is. It must be the area that they bushi mentioned to you
Suzume Sousha: admiring the view. perhaps looking for apples
KibagamiKuno: striding.
Keshijo: I look around... and walk down hill..
Hantei Dave: everyone roll perceptions
KibagamiKuno: 25
Hida Oku: sight?
Togashi Udon: 24
Hantei Dave: 27 is the difficulty
Hida Oku: hello? sight?
Hantei Dave: nothing in particular oku
Hida Oku: 24
Keshijo: No... 16....
Hantei Dave: heh
Hantei Dave: sousha
Hantei Dave: ?
KibagamiKuno: oh. not sight? 22
Suzume Sousha: 19
Hantei Dave: ok
Togashi Udon: DOH!
Hantei Dave: its ok...he finds you all instead
KibagamiKuno: (swell)
Togashi Udon: :-)
Hantei Dave: a man in black robes lands in front of you all (no weapon visible)
Hantei Dave: he lands silently
Hantei Dave: and bows his head
KibagamiKuno: (do we recognize him?)
Keshijo: "Greetings brother."
Hantei Dave: you could never kuno. He is wearing a mask
Hida Oku: scorpion?
KibagamiKuno: is he toturi-sized?
Hantei Dave: "I carry the message of Bayushi Aromoro." he stays on one knee head still down
Hantei Dave: "I am told to lead you to the ronin Toturi and return to my kin."
Hantei Dave: "No further watch is neccesary for Toturi now."
Keshijo: "I thank you brother."
Keshijo: "He is our problem now."
Hida Oku: sheesh.... freakin' scorpion
Hantei Dave: he stands
Hida Oku: (to self)
Keshijo: "If you would be so kind as to bring these with you?"
Keshijo: I hand him 2 letters.
KibagamiKuno: (swell, who let him have paper? lol)
Hantei Dave: "Hai."
Keshijo: "One for Lord Aromoro, one for Lady Kachiko."
Keshijo: "I thank you."
Keshijo: "We can swim."
Hantei Dave: He begins walking off (making stealth roll - 22...you can try to beat it if you like but he is just moving silently)
Hida Oku: <chuckle>
Hantei Dave: He turns again
Hantei Dave: "one more message."
Hantei Dave: "I apologize for forgetting. (says dave)"
Hantei Dave: and scorpion
Hantei Dave: "The Lady Kachiko most greatly thanks you for your gift Oku-sama. She has taken it into consideration."
Hantei Dave: he turns again
Hida Oku: <bow>
Hantei Dave: he walks you not too far too a grassy area looking down into a valley of grove trees
Hantei Dave: he begins a crawl through the grass to the edge
Togashi Udon: Your painting oku? Still trying to be the painter for the Emperial court?
Togashi Udon: (smile)
Hida Oku: this was a more... personal of subjects....
Hida Oku: let's just say that I do not believe we will have to approach Lady Kachico about her destiny as a thunder
Hida Oku: she already knows what we think
Togashi Udon: Finally opening up, Oku? Good for you! Its about time you came out of your shell. (wait for it...wait fot it... BURSTS OUT
LAUGHING!!!)
Hantei Dave has left the room.
Keshijo: WE WIN!!!
Hida Oku: WE WIN!
Suzume Sousha: doh
Keshijo: jinx
Togashi Udon: WE WIN!!!
Suzume Sousha: You got mail YeY!
Suzume Sousha: :-P
KibagamiKuno: toturi dave returns...
Hida Oku: Udon....
Hida Oku: smack smack
Hantei Dave has entered the room.
Hantei Dave: oops
Hantei Dave: back
Hida Oku: we won again
Suzume Sousha: eeeep
Hida Oku: ew!
Suzume Sousha: yellow
Hantei Dave: lost reception a moment there
Suzume Sousha: ahhhhh
Hida Oku: leave and come back
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave has left the room.
Suzume Sousha: that is making my eyes water
Hida Oku: we win!
Hantei Dave has entered the room.
KibagamiKuno: we win
Hantei Dave: better?
KibagamiKuno: doh
Suzume Sousha: yes
KibagamiKuno: better
Hida Oku: always
Hantei Dave: what color am i?
KibagamiKuno: grayish
Hantei Dave: poses
Hida Oku: ah, better
Togashi Udon: we won!
Hantei Dave: no, kuno is gray
Togashi Udon: We lost?
Keshijo: Twice!
Hantei Dave: and udon is green ^_-
Hantei Dave: ANYWAY!
KibagamiKuno: game over. No, kesh is gray
Togashi Udon: PERFECT!
Keshijo: Udon is Turquiose...
Hantei Dave: ninja crawls through grass
Hantei Dave: and points down into valley
Togashi Udon: Udon makes a joke!
Keshijo: I look.
Hantei Dave: you see a figure walking in random directions through the trees
Keshijo: I approach the figure.
Hantei Dave: he walks around one apple tree
Togashi Udon: Yu see, it's funny because he's a Crab.
Hantei Dave: then past another, then turns and back again
Keshijo: I get out the letter...
Togashi Udon: And I said, coming out of your shell!!! (wait for it...)
Hantei Dave: Toturi ignores the noise Udon makes as it echos to the other side
Hantei Dave: the ninja: "He went to Unicorn territory first."
Hantei Dave: "to a temple where he was raised."
Hantei Dave: "but nothing came of it."
Hantei Dave: "and he left no better then he arrived."
KibagamiKuno: "and then?"
Hantei Dave: "and has been walking in circles since."
Hantei Dave: "a waste"
Togashi Udon: He needs direction.
KibagamiKuno: "and then?"
Hantei Dave: "It wasn't religion. He looks at Udon."
Keshijo: "He is shamed. A fool. A traitor."
Hantei Dave: "Nothing. He is lower than the lowest eta. Scratches for food. He has no mind anymore."
Keshijo: "He can face what he is."
Keshijo: err... cannot...
KibagamiKuno: "And what is he?"
Hantei Dave: "traiter. Death IS too good for him."
Keshijo: "We will have to fix him or get him killed."
KibagamiKuno: "traitor is a matter for history books - for ikoma"
Hantei Dave: "If it was my way, I'd suggest killing him so his memory can fade from Rokugan. He's all yours."
Keshijo: "We thank you."
Togashi Udon: Perhaps he is fixed.
Hantei Dave: "Is there any messeges I can carry besides your letters?"
Keshijo: Watch him have a tanto...
Hantei Dave: "To either Aromoro or Kachiko?"
KibagamiKuno: is he armed, btw?
KibagamiKuno: (toturi)
Hantei Dave: "As far as we know he carries no weapons...even when beat up by peasants."
Hantei Dave: sousha? thoughts? oku?
Hantei Dave: The ninja awaits a message if anyone has one.
Hida Oku: Let's go to him
KibagamiKuno: "Time to go fix my daimyo."
Togashi Udon: and then?
Hida Oku: and either knock sense into him
KibagamiKuno: LP
KibagamiKuno: :P
Hida Oku: or knock what sense he has left out of him
Hida Oku: I'm fine with either one
Hantei Dave: start down whan you are ready
Keshijo: "Thank you brother. Those should be good. Give them my thanks as well."
Hida Oku: I'm ready
KibagamiKuno: I start down
Hantei Dave: the shinobi leaves into the trees
Togashi Udon: Follow the Kuno-nator
Keshijo: I start down.
KibagamiKuno: (and i start taking off weapons)
Suzume Sousha: and I folow as well
Hida Oku: let's go
Hantei Dave: well, whoever wants to can approach him. He ignores you all as you get close
Hida Oku: I'll go up to him
Hantei Dave: he touches each tree
KibagamiKuno: i put my weapons down a ways away (keeping the tanto tied up tight in my sash)
Hida Oku: "remember me, Toturi?"
KibagamiKuno: then head over.
Hantei Dave: Oku: his face is thin...his eyes yellow and blood red with a wide stare into no place
KibagamiKuno: actually, nm, i'll watch oku for a moment.
Keshijo: I smack him.
Keshijo: (Toturi)
Hida Oku: easy, kesh
Hida Oku: not yet
Hantei Dave: he falls against a tree and lifts himself by the trunk
Hantei Dave: he is in tatters
Keshijo: "General Akodo Toturi. Come to your senses."
Keshijo: \"Rokugan needs you."
Suzume Sousha: (when I first read that I was thinkig of potatos)
Hantei Dave: He cowers against the tree
Togashi Udon: soush-lol
Keshijo: "Stand up. You were once someone I respected."
Togashi Udon: I wonder...???
Keshijo: "Even thoughh you were a Lion."
Hantei Dave: He begins crawling away
Keshijo: I offer my hand.
Togashi Udon: Everyone calm down. Let me try something.
Hantei Dave: he doesn't take it
Keshijo: "He's worse than I imagined."
Hida Oku: Toturi, we have something for you
KibagamiKuno: i keep watching.
Hida Oku: a note.....
Hantei Dave: Yohei feels bad for him
Hida Oku: from a geisha
Togashi Udon: let me try this 1st
Keshijo: "Okay Udon."
Hantei Dave: Udon concentrates
KibagamiKuno: (say her name before you start reading)
Hantei Dave: a wave of relaxation hits you all
Hida Oku: hold out the note to him
KibagamiKuno: (he probably can't read in this state, oku)
Hantei Dave: Toturi slinks against the tree and breathes heavy and tiredly
Hantei Dave: he is very thin
Hida Oku: can he read it?
Togashi Udon: Toturi? Can you hear me?
Hantei Dave: he doesn't focus on you Udon
KibagamiKuno: (a song, a song....)
Keshijo: I offer him some food.
Hantei Dave: (some relivant poetry might help here Kuno)
Keshijo: And water.
Togashi Udon: Oku, I dont want you to get jelous, so please turn around.
KibagamiKuno: (no song? lol - working on some.)
Hantei Dave: He looks at the water and begins chugging it
Hida Oku: jelous?
Hida Oku: about what?
Togashi Udon: I hug Toturi.
Hida Oku: yuch
Hantei Dave: he finishes your ration of water Kesh
KibagamiKuno: then gets hugged
Hida Oku: pitiful
Hida Oku: will he read the letter?
Hantei Dave: he isn't doing it oku
Hida Oku: if not, I will read it aloud
Hantei Dave: I think kesh has it anyway
KibagamiKuno: kesh - start with telling him who it's from.
Keshijo: Hehe.
KibagamiKuno: not that i know or anything...
Hida Oku: oh
Hida Oku: oops
Keshijo: "I have a letter from your love. You had quite an affect on her."
KibagamiKuno: (keeping hugging udon - that'll keep him still at least)
Keshijo: Does he look like he's paying attention?
Hantei Dave: he might be kesh. looks like his first rest in days
Hantei Dave: (note to others...you might wanna check back at Togashi's puzzle at this point.)
Keshijo: I start to read it to him.
KibagamiKuno: the problem is, i think i know which is his and it's kinda messy.
Hantei Dave: his breathing slows even more as you read the letter (it is new to everyone else too)
Hantei Dave: lemme dig out the letter
Hantei Dave: My Dearest Toturi,
Hantei Dave: It was my foolish desires alone that caused your downfall. I now understand that the heart of a bushi cannot forgive one such as me.
Hantei Dave: I pray that in the next life I end up something even less than I was in this life so that our paths are better certain not to cross again.
Hantei Dave: If this letter finds its ways into your hands, I would have you know that I was persuaded into my desires and that although
Hantei Dave: my intentions seemed righteous at the time by preserving your life, I in truth, ended your life.
Hantei Dave: -your Courtisan
Keshijo: "I buried her with honor."
Keshijo: "Do not let that go to waste."
Hantei Dave: Toturi: "all useless....all useless.... " He begins sobbing
Togashi Udon: HUG AWAY!!!
Togashi Udon: (didnt yell that)
Keshijo: "You have a duty, to her, to Rokugan, to yourself."
Hantei Dave: "All lost. Its all lost."
Togashi Udon: (didnt say that)
Keshijo: "All is not lost."
Keshijo: "You can help make it right again."
Hantei Dave: "There is no point to it all. All forsaken...."
Keshijo: "You MUST help make it right again!"
KibagamiKuno: "General Akodo Toturi, does it surprise you that there is an army waiting again for you to lead it?"
Keshijo: "It is your duty."
Togashi Udon: "All is not forsaken unless you for sake it all."
Hantei Dave: "There are no armies....only corpses."
Hantei Dave: "Fools and corpses."
Keshijo: "There will be only corpses if you let the prophecy come to pass."
KibagamiKuno: "Fools aren't corpses yet. And they don't have to be."
Hida Oku: that's true
Hida Oku: oops
Keshijo: "I know you read the scroll."
Hantei Dave: "Men are evil."
KibagamiKuno: "Not if you stop it."
Keshijo: "You know what you must do to redeem yourself and all of us."
Keshijo: "You must be the General you once were."
Hantei Dave: "Fools...all...there is no point. No reason."
Keshijo: "The Man you once were."
Keshijo: "The Samurai you once were."
Hantei Dave: He begins to crawl. "Forsaken...."
KibagamiKuno: "Hmm, no."
Keshijo: "There is a point. Fu Leng must not prevail."
Togashi Udon: Did the original Thunders looks at the war clouds of Fu Leng and think it was hopeless?
KibagamiKuno: "Not the samurai he once was. The samurai Toturi WILL be."
Keshijo: "STAND UP!" I whisper with authority...
Togashi Udon: Did they forsake the Empire?
Hantei Dave: do you have persuation kesh?
Hantei Dave: sion
Hantei Dave: sousha? doing anything? oku?
KibagamiKuno: is udon still hugging?
Hida Oku: oh, let's just kill rid the world of this useless slug
Hantei Dave: he is trying to crawl away
Togashi Udon: (yup)
Keshijo: Leadership... I am trying to lead him to his destiny... :-)
KibagamiKuno: i go grab him and stand him up.
Hantei Dave: "I have...no faith in men...."
Hantei Dave: "and men have no faith in me."
KibagamiKuno: "Men have faith in you. I have faith in you."
Keshijo: "Then we will give you that faith back."
Suzume Sousha: sorry was re-reading the stuff
Hida Oku: because you crawl when you should stand
Hantei Dave: Kuno lifts him easily
Keshijo: "I have faith in you."
Keshijo: "We all do."
Togashi Udon: You are the Lion Thunder, Touturi. Have faith on that and have faith in the Kami's!"
Hida Oku: you cry when you should revenge
Hantei Dave: "It is too little...too late.
KibagamiKuno: "And toturi sama? Just over the hills i met 30 more men who have faith in you. 30 men whom,
Keshijo: "It is never to late. The great the obstacle the greater the man needed."
Hida Oku: it will only be too late when the dark one controls the land
Hida Oku: until then we will fight
Hantei Dave: He scratches at oku. "The crab fight for no reason."
KibagamiKuno: at the mention of your name, their eyes lit up. 'will Toturi lead us?' they asked. Well you will."
Hida Oku: NO REASON!
Hantei Dave: he stops
Hida Oku: We fight so that you may live and love
Hida Oku: as you once did
Keshijo: "You killed my lord. I should torture you for that. But my faith in the prophecy keeps my hand at bay."
Hida Oku: don't tell me of "reason"
Hantei Dave: he stares at nothing at oku's kimono
Keshijo: "I once offered you my sword, do you remember?"
Hantei Dave: "No, I did not kill Shoju."
Hantei Dave: "remember?"
Hantei Dave: "I should have died in the throne room."
Hantei Dave: "I should have...."
KibagamiKuno: "You did."
Hida Oku: "no reason..... ha"
Keshijo: "You didn't?"
Hantei Dave: "I should have..."
Hida Oku: "you crawl for no reason"
Hantei Dave: "NO!" grabs Kuno.
Hida Oku: "you cry for no reason"
KibagamiKuno: "the toturi of that throne room is no more. he is dead."
Hantei Dave: "I couldn't beat him!"
Hida Oku: "until you become a leader again, you have no reason!"
Hantei Dave: "He let me kill him! HE LET ME!"
Hantei Dave: "Why?" sobs
Keshijo: "His faith."
Hantei Dave: "why?"
Togashi Udon: He know you could do what must be done.
Keshijo: "His faith told him you were the one to save Rokugan."
Togashi Udon: He had faith in you.
KibagamiKuno: "But you're ready to let him down, aren't you?"
Keshijo: "He had faith in you. We have faith in you."
KibagamiKuno: "Eveyrone has faith in you, but you!"
Hantei Dave: "Shoju broke the throne... not me. and then he let me slay him. And I did....his back was turned. Why should anyone have faith in
me?"
Keshijo: "She had faith in you."
Hantei Dave: "I am low!"
Hantei Dave: "I am dishonored!"
Keshijo: "Then redeem yourself!"
Hida Oku: and live again
Hantei Dave: "There is not way."
Hantei Dave: no way
KibagamiKuno: "you were low. And dishonored. But rokugan needs you, not shoju, not the throne. It needs YOU."
Keshijo: "There is a way. You must believe us."
Hida Oku: ok,I say kill him.... he's pissing me off now
Hantei Dave: "there is noone that can believe"
Hantei Dave: "You? 6 people?"
Hida Oku: I pull out my crab tanto
Hantei Dave: "HA!"
Hantei Dave: He laughs at Oku
Hantei Dave: roll anger oku
Hida Oku: 16
Togashi Udon: "Everyday that you are here it is because of his faith in you. Everyday you ignore that fact, you dishonor his memory.
Hantei Dave: "you fight a pointless battle crab!" (you failed
Keshijo: "There were only 7 Thunders the first time."
Suzume Sousha: (is anger something we all have or just oku?)
Hida Oku: (just me)
Hida Oku: Tackle him
Hantei Dave: kuno is holding him Oku
Keshijo: I stop Oku.
Suzume Sousha: as do I

Hida Oku: YOU LOST ONE!!!!
Hantei Dave: "They died with Shoju!"
Keshijo: "I am still here."
Keshijo: "I have faith."
Keshijo: "Come with us."
Hida Oku: WE DIE SO THAT YOU CAN WALK THE LAND ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES
Hantei Dave: "But you are EVIL!"
Hida Oku: you are the coward
Keshijo: "I am not evil."
Hida Oku: kill yourself and be rid of you
Hida Oku: but no...
Keshijo: "I live for the good of Rokugan."
Hida Oku: you revel too much in your uselessness
KibagamiKuno: I start to drag toturi off
Hida Oku: and you want everyone else to know
Hantei Dave: "I cannot even kill myself by orders. I have no right to!"
Hantei Dave: Kuno: go ahead
Keshijo: "You must live then."
Keshijo: "Come with us."
Hantei Dave: Kuno goes towards his swords
KibagamiKuno: "You still follow orders?"
Togashi Udon: Yokuni is rightous. He was Shoju's best friend. Perhaps you should apologize for killing his best friend while his back
was turned.
Hantei Dave: Toturi drags by his feet
KibagamiKuno: gee dave, was it that obvious?
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Hantei Dave: sorry
Hantei Dave: guess not
Hantei Dave: kuno walks in a direction which HAPPEN to be the direction of his swords ^_-

Hantei Dave: kuno...you attack?
KibagamiKuno: 40
Hantei Dave: roll dodge oku
Hantei Dave: no iaijutsu bonus kuno
KibagamiKuno: why not? Per before, i voided him.
Hantei Dave: it was a suprise attack
Hantei Dave: you can't roll void on something that didn't happen
Hida Oku: 28
KibagamiKuno: umm, it's my turn, right dave?
Hida Oku: I'm unarmed now
KibagamiKuno: ok, fine, drop the iaijutsu, it's still 32.
Hantei Dave: ok

Hida Oku: oku dies
KibagamiKuno: (which is rather lucky for 8d6)
Hantei Dave: make a will roll Kuno
Hantei Dave: not yet oku
KibagamiKuno: 16
Hantei Dave: you failed Udon's tattoo effect
Hantei Dave: half the damage...you held back
Hantei Dave: like during the unicorn fight
Hida Oku: oku doesn't die
KibagamiKuno: i hope that wasn't to see if i was too angry (yes, i've got it to) to kill the guy who just attacked my daimyo.
Hantei Dave: 13 points Oku
Hida Oku: ouch
Hida Oku: I bleed.... a lot
Suzume Sousha: eeep

Hida Oku: I'll jump away if I can
Hantei Dave: Sousha?
Keshijo: "We need everyone."
Hantei Dave: trip oku?
Hantei Dave: lol
KibagamiKuno: "We need the thunders. We, however, are disposable."
Keshijo: "It would not do to kill each other and the enemy's work for him."
Hantei Dave: Yohei leads his mule away
Hantei Dave: Udon?
KibagamiKuno: "The enemy is at hand and he attacks the thunders, or did you miss that?"
Togashi Udon: Heal oku
Keshijo: "Udon, please get Yohei..."
Keshijo: Oh yeah...

KibagamiKuno: "You mean you don't want me to do this, scum"
KibagamiKuno: I try pushig past kesh
Hantei Dave: your sword is at your feet Oku
Hantei Dave: your...poisoned sword
Hida Oku: I grab my sword
Keshijo: welp, Kuno is much bigger than me...
KibagamiKuno: is that his action?
Togashi Udon: wow, hold on their hotshot
KibagamiKuno: perhaps we should do initiative?
Hantei Dave: good point kuno
Hantei Dave: roll inits before grabbing the sword Oku
KibagamiKuno: I'd like that void already dave, it was two rounds ago with all this healing and talking
Hida Oku: ok
Hantei Dave: ok Kuno

Hantei Dave: Udon and Kesh
Togashi Udon: When you jump, I still hear you, even though you think you are being quiet.
Hida Oku: <LOL>
Keshijo: I see how bad toturi is...
Hantei Dave: Kesh: toturi's eyes are steady but his mouth is agasp. He is frozen in position
Hantei Dave: but his breathing is stable
Keshijo: How bad is the wound?
KibagamiKuno: (is that an improvement?)
Hantei Dave: needs fixing...but kuno's got him
Hantei Dave: udon?
Hantei Dave: doing anything Kesh?
Togashi Udon: Is everyone calmed down nwow?
Hantei Dave: maybe Udon
Keshijo: Oh, Kuno still has him...
Hantei Dave: Oku is still angry
Hantei Dave: and you can't divert from kuno right now
Togashi Udon: I'll tickle him
Keshijo: I was going to try and bandage him...
Hantei Dave: if you do you lose the MU effect...it might be enough though
Togashi Udon: eyes still on kuno
Togashi Udon: i cant tickle & Mu at the same time?
Togashi Udon: ok, how about this...
Hantei Dave: sorry Udon...it is an intense...nothingness
Hantei Dave: Keshijo: declare an action
Togashi Udon: Oku, did you fart or is that what your insides always smell like?
Hantei Dave: Udon: either declare an action and break the mu or hold the mu
Keshijo: Well, I can't help toturi with Kuno carrying him away...
Togashi Udon: hold the Mu & talk, youve always allowed me that
Keshijo: So I try to calm everyone down...
Hantei Dave: you need nothingness on MU
Hantei Dave: :P
Hantei Dave: but ok...small talk
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Togashi Udon: read the unicorn parley
Hantei Dave: some talk rather
Keshijo: "Kuno, please don't kill Oku. He's useful. He just has anger management issues..."
Hantei Dave: you are right skip
KibagamiKuno: (so do i)
Keshijo: "And Oku, we NEED Toturi.
Keshijo: "
Hida Oku: I know, you idiot.... that's why I paralyzed him
Hida Oku: FOOLS, all of you!
Suzume Sousha: :-)
Hida Oku: he's coming with us, one way or another
Hantei Dave: Oku declares
Keshijo: "Perhaps you should warn us of these things first..."
Hida Oku: I haven't put up will all this crap this long to lose it all on one sad sorry weakling
Keshijo: "And it would be better to convince him."
Togashi Udon: Oku did you just have fish or something because your breath
KibagamiKuno: (kesh - he cut him for 18 pts, that's more than a taser)
Hantei Dave: 7 points
Hida Oku: 10,000 cherry blossoms
Hantei Dave: Oku delcares
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: and Kuno goes
Hida Oku: andgrab the sword
Hantei Dave: do you want to fight the MU again Kuno?
Hantei Dave: you can try
Togashi Udon: Oku has to get past me 1st
Togashi Udon: (I'm on top!)
Keshijo: "See Toturi, if I didn't have faith, I'd be with my family awaiting the end. Instead, I'm here, trying to convince seven people to save the
world."
Hantei Dave: Udon is hugging Oku...didn't have time for on top
Suzume Sousha: did I get yohei yet or am I still running or what?
Keshijo: "So how about helping me out a little?"
KibagamiKuno: I step so that kesh is between me and oku and udon.
Hantei Dave: ok Kuno
Togashi Udon: So it is still an Udon sandwich though
Hantei Dave: anything else?
KibagamiKuno: i just stay prepared.
Hantei Dave: 10,000 cherry blossom roll Oku -4 with damage and a hugging monk
Hida Oku: what do I need to roll? it's not an attack
Hantei Dave: athletics

Hantei Dave: yes Udon...sight it severed
Hida Oku: have I calmed down yet?
Hantei Dave: Keshijo? Sousha?
Hida Oku: actually, if Kuno didn't attack, I wouldn't use it
Hantei Dave: your acations
Hantei Dave: too late
Hantei Dave: its used
Hida Oku: oh well
Hantei Dave: :P
Hida Oku: now there's a pretty pink and white cloud

Keshijo: 23 even worse...
Hantei Dave: of this round
Suzume Sousha: 20
Togashi Udon: 26
Hantei Dave: oku? kuno?
Hida Oku: why will it die off? then what's the point of using it?

Suzume Sousha: where is toturi at this point?
Hantei Dave: movmeent
KibagamiKuno: 38
Hantei Dave: sousha: help my kuno

Hantei Dave: :P
Hida Oku: well then it's pointless
Hida Oku: a useless okuden
Hantei Dave: no it isn't...cause you are hidden and can leave at the same time
Hantei Dave: RRG
Hantei Dave: TEA TIME AGAIN
Hantei Dave: how long should this thing last?
Hantei Dave: 2 rounds? 3 rounds?
Hantei Dave: sorry folks
Suzume Sousha: I guess it depends on how long oku will fight for :-)
Hantei Dave: lets just say 3 rounds and be done with it
Hida Oku: I wasn't fighting
Hida Oku: I was defending myself
Hantei Dave: ^_^ PERIOD
Hantei Dave: GAME ON
Togashi Udon: seems to me it should be the amount of ki points you wish to devote to it once activated.
KibagamiKuno: reading decrip - it doesn't sound like the just spring into being for 10 seconds.
Hantei Dave: good rule Udon. Next time thats the rule!
Hantei Dave: 2 ki points = 2 rouds
Hida Oku: ok
Hantei Dave: DEAL?
KibagamiKuno: so how long is this one going for?
Hantei Dave: ok...you got it for 3 Oku
Hida Oku: sure
Hantei Dave: whew

Suzume Sousha: ok
Hantei Dave: you aern't far anwya
Suzume Sousha: Oku is being held correct?
KibagamiKuno: last we saw he was
Togashi Udon: "You two want to kill eachother, fine! I give up! I can only heal so many times! You are proving Toturi's point, Oku. A
Meaningless fight!"
Hantei Dave: sousha: you aren't sure...he is in a cloud of blossoms
Suzume Sousha: maybe I can just bind his feet together
Suzume Sousha: though I don't know with what
Togashi Udon: Throws Oku down walks out of blossoms.
Hantei Dave: jump in sousha!
Hantei Dave: ^_^
Hida Oku: heh
Hantei Dave: kesh and Udon declare after sousha :P
Suzume Sousha: aha! I do have rope in my inventory
Hida Oku: seeing Udon get mad calms me down
Suzume Sousha: I knew it would come in handy!
Togashi Udon: sorry, see abouve then, my bad soush!
Hantei Dave: equip rope then sousha?
Keshijo: I stand between Kuno and Oku.
Suzume Sousha: yes
Hantei Dave: thats it then
KibagamiKuno: umm, me?
Hantei Dave: kesh will move HALF in the blossoms
Hantei Dave: oku declares
KibagamiKuno: (oh, thought you meant that was the end of the round)
Hida Oku: grab sword, get out of there

Hantei Dave: back?
Hantei Dave: forward?
Hida Oku: yes
Hida Oku: back
Hantei Dave: ok...Kuno goes...doesn't know Oku is leaving
Hida Oku: with a jump
Hantei Dave: karumi jutsu oku?
Hida Oku: yeppers
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: Kuno goes
KibagamiKuno: im'ing you dave.
Hantei Dave: no more MU kuno but it slowed you down and took away your anger
Hantei Dave: cleared you mind
KibagamiKuno: if i see oku spring out of the flowers, that would be interesting to know.
Hantei Dave: Kuno declares an action (secret)
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: people are fighting blind now
Hida Oku: 25 athletics roll
Hida Oku: for the jump
Hantei Dave: ok Oku. You jump back full MOVE
Hida Oku: I grabbed my sword though, right?
Hantei Dave: yes oku
Hida Oku: ok
Hida Oku: that's fine
KibagamiKuno: so does he burst out of the petals or do they follow him?
Hantei Dave: ...
Hantei Dave: bursts out
KibagamiKuno: (probably makes more sense if they follow their power source)
Hantei Dave: doh!
KibagamiKuno: heh
Hantei Dave: oku? input?
Hantei Dave: preference?
Hida Oku: to what?
Hantei Dave: petals follow or stay?
Hida Oku: am I still in or not?
Hantei Dave: I will make the final ruling
Hantei Dave: yes
Hida Oku: no, they stay.... we went through this before
Hida Oku: the other dude used it
Hantei Dave: ok....stays have it
KibagamiKuno: ok
Hantei Dave: oku bursts out the back
Hantei Dave: Udon leaves the petals
Hantei Dave: a column spins
Hantei Dave: Kesh has toturi
Hantei Dave: has the fighting stopped yet?
Hida Oku: well, I'm done
Suzume Sousha: woohoo
Suzume Sousha: was going to have to tie your ass up
Hantei Dave: kuno?
KibagamiKuno: hmm...
Hantei Dave: Udon?
Keshijo: I was going to take Toturi and leave with Yohei...
Hantei Dave: Kesh: you are on your way
Hantei Dave: going with them sousha and udon?
Togashi Udon: yes
Hantei Dave: Kuno and Oku are all thats left now
KibagamiKuno: Kuno continues to stare down oku
Suzume Sousha: I will watch oku for now
Suzume Sousha: Don't know where this is going, but I will stay and watch
Hida Oku: wipe my blade off
Hida Oku: put it away
Togashi Udon: stop poison & heal on Toturi.
Hantei Dave: the petals begin to die down
Hida Oku: he'll be fine in a couple of hours
Hantei Dave: used your heal once udon
Togashi Udon: right
Hantei Dave: you can cast stop poison though....or take Oku's word
Hantei Dave: and move toturi easily!
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hantei Dave: when the petals finally clear a disaster is left
Hantei Dave: blood spilled
Hantei Dave: poison used
KibagamiKuno: where's oku now?
Hantei Dave: your champion poisoned
Hantei Dave: kuno...staring at you
KibagamiKuno: good.
Togashi Udon: Okus last chance with me. if his does not come around by dinner...
Hantei Dave: blades still drawn'
Hida Oku: I put mine away
Keshijo: I continue on...
KibagamiKuno: umm, mine's been away. So i guess still just staring.
Hantei Dave: a new fracture in the group begins
Hida Oku: 2 hours.... he'll be fine... now we can move him
Hantei Dave: on that dark note...END GAME
KibagamiKuno: "You attacked my Daimyo, while he was under my protection."
Hantei Dave: or keep talking
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Suzume Sousha: wow
Hantei Dave: ...some Thunder you got there
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Hantei Dave: lo?
Hida Oku: Aparently Kuno, you've forgotton the oath you've taken
Keshijo: We'll turn him around...
Hida Oku: to be true to each other, and put the needs of Rokugan above the petty sqablings of politics and ourselves
KibagamiKuno: "That was not true to each other, no more than if i had attacked you kisada."
KibagamiKuno: (your)
Hida Oku: you are free to try that at anytime
Hantei Dave: (hssssssssssssssssssssssssss)
Hida Oku: but I would suggest against it
Hantei Dave: (it is a good point oku)
Hantei Dave: still awake everyone?
Keshijo: (Kisada would probably like it....)
KibagamiKuno: "The oath was true to each other. To not take actions that would force us to make such decisions. You've forced the issue, and
you'll live, or die, by the consequences"
Hida Oku: and until he accepts his roll, and restores strength to himelf, he is not fit to be anyones Daimyo, Lion or otherwise
Suzume Sousha: stil reading
Hantei Dave: true...he isn't your daimyo Kuno ^_-
Suzume Sousha: "Does that give u the right to attack him?"
Hantei Dave: good point oku
Keshijo: Keshijo turns to the others and makes an "Are you coming already" gesture.
Togashi Udon: kesh and I are going to go save the world.
Suzume Sousha: LOL
Hida Oku: good idea
KibagamiKuno: and i'm technically not akodo, but since no-one seems to be following that these days...
Hantei Dave: (I love perspective)
Togashi Udon: ou guys can stare until we come back and sousha can watch or come along
KibagamiKuno: "The consequences will come, crab. Not today, but they'll come."
Hida Oku: you are not Akodo, RONIN, and Toturi is NOT your daimyo
Hantei Dave: (btw...I stopped pitting you all against each other after the coup)
Hantei Dave: lol
Hida Oku: and I will not respect him until he regains his strength, and leads as he should
Keshijo: "Pheh. We have a war to win. Put your differences aside. Oku, stop provoking him."
Togashi Udon: by the kami's, let leave them
Hida Oku: I'm done
Hida Oku: "useless fighting"
Suzume Sousha: I am watching by the way. . . this is interesting.
Hida Oku: fheh
KibagamiKuno: "Oh that's right. I'd forgotten. The hantei who now lies dying in the palace, the one who will undo us all, Fu leng himself, ordered
it. I'd forgotten who we're taking orders from."
Suzume Sousha: (plus I don't want anyone to potentially kill someone else)
Keshijo: "I don't recognize the lose of the Akodos or the Scorpion for just that reason. Let's go."
Hantei Dave: yes...dying...thats it...yes
KibagamiKuno: (festering might better describe it, but ok.)
Hida Oku: <grumble, grumble>
Hantei Dave: (dying is more the what the public thinks)
Hantei Dave: and on THAT dark not!
Hantei Dave: note!
KibagamiKuno: not
Togashi Udon: Right now it seems Yokuni is---nevermind... Sometimes I dont know why I (mumble mummble)
Hida Oku: we win!
Hantei Dave: kuno and oku walk on opposite sides of the road
Hida Oku: no?
Hida Oku: shit, we lose
Suzume Sousha: hehehe
Keshijo: "See Toturi. Rokugan needs a leader. That leader is you."
Hida Oku: blink once if you understand
Hida Oku: twice if you dont
Hantei Dave: toturi drools
Hida Oku: lol
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Togashi Udon: g'nite all. im done, stick a fork in me...not one that was poisoned
