Keshijo: "We saved you, you should pay us"
Hantei Dave: like the gnome

Keshijo: She decides to leave, thinking these people are not trustworthy
Keshijo: so the dwarf tries to grab her "We think you should stay."

Keshijo: So she smacks the dwarf across the face and runs up a tree.
Hantei Dave: lol

Togashi Udon: and we need to talk with hitomi-sama
Hida Oku: I hate collecting cursed crap
Hantei Dave: ok, someone please keep your head on the tea time rule since josh was so
good at it
Hantei Dave: tea time so we can take a step back when things get outta hand
Togashi Udon: Hits Kesh
Hantei Dave: (we all have tea)
Togashi Udon: TEA TIME!
Togashi Udon: Hits oku
Togashi Udon: TEA TIME!
Hantei Dave: ok. There is an issue to discuss right now people.
Hida Oku: hey now... easy killer
Keshijo: I dodge Udon!
Keshijo: Woah. Lag....
Hantei Dave: Kuno collects the red armor from Akira (from last game)
Togashi Udon: ok
Keshijo: Is it tainted?
Hantei Dave: helmet and all
Togashi Udon: is that bushido like?
Hantei Dave: he is very quiet as he does it
Hida Oku: he's a ronin
Hantei Dave: Udon: quite the opposite
Hida Oku: doesn't matter, i think
Togashi Udon: ok
Hantei Dave: and Akira was full of blackish red ichor
Hida Oku: eww
Hantei Dave: so it is most likely tainted
Hantei Dave: if not from the blood alone
Togashi Udon: ick
Hida Oku: let's burn it, then
Keshijo: Well, I would ask him to burn it...
Hantei Dave: Kuno won't let you Oku
Togashi Udon: Why not kuno-san? Is there something else ou have in mind?
Togashi Udon: you
Hida Oku: Well, we burn it... whether he's in it or not is his choice
Hantei Dave: "It is too powerful...and it is a light metal." says kuno
Hantei Dave: "I won't wear it...but neather will anyone else."
Togashi Udon: What are you thinking Kuno san?
Hantei Dave: He doesn't reply
Keshijo: Let's burn it anyway!
Hida Oku: better it be destroyed than we help our enemy
Keshijo: At least to get the blood off....
Hida Oku: that's what I'm saying kesh
Hantei Dave: btw (keep track of ki focus and stuff people)
Togashi Udon: (Actually Akira should be a crisp I thought)
Togashi Udon: (I burned him last game)
Hantei Dave: Udon: the armor is not marked at all
Hida Oku: yeah, he was toasty
Hantei Dave: Kuno nods and begins removing the armor
Togashi Udon: Then there is no icky Akira; just roasted duck?
Hantei Dave: from the torso and head
Hantei Dave: Udon: dried ichor
Togashi Udon: ok, I will finish it then
Hantei Dave: ^_^
Hantei Dave: Udon: it doesn't look like your fire marred it
Hantei Dave: it seems resistant
Togashi Udon: Hrm, a wise-guy, eh?
Keshijo: But is the blood burning off?
Togashi Udon: what he said
Hantei Dave: Kesh: it is burned and crisped on
Keshijo: Hmm...
Hantei Dave: Kuno almost has it off completly. It even has what appears to be a cape
Hantei Dave: he removes leg sections
Hantei Dave: Kuno takes some vines from a tree and gathers the pieces together. He
strings it on his back
Togashi Udon: uhm...udon has no real problem with it
Hantei Dave: "Too dangerous" he mutters as he continues
Togashi Udon: he doesnt kno bushido (as you all can attest to)
Hantei Dave: ok Udon...but you do know armor that isn't natural
Hantei Dave: and this is it
Hida Oku: oku has no problem either... re-use is essential to the crab
Hida Oku: but that armor. . . .
Keshijo: Can I tell if the armor itself is tainted?
Hantei Dave: Kesh: make a roll
Keshijo: Besides being covered in taint gook?
Hantei Dave: shadowlands survival
Keshijo: 20
Togashi Udon: i can use Soaring Crow to tell
Togashi Udon: it would be my last ki
Hida Oku: 21
Keshijo: "The armor bears the taint."
Togashi Udon: (does not use tattoo then)
Keshijo: "Be careful Kuno-sama."
Hida Oku: it is tainted
Hantei Dave: Kuno: "I will not wear it then"
Keshijo: "Do not touch your bear skin to it."
Hantei Dave: Kuno: "hmmm....do you have a cloth?"
Togashi Udon: perhaps we should give it to Yokuni-sama for safe keeping. He
may be able to destroy it."
Togashi Udon: Or have it destroyed."
Keshijo: "I have a few of my cloth masks..."
Keshijo: "Probably not enough..."
Hida Oku: i have my old robes
Hida Oku: but you owe me new clothes, kuno
Togashi Udon: I have a big staff.
Hantei Dave: "we will discuss that when the moment comes. THanks Oku."
Hantei Dave: Kuno wraps the armor tight
Hantei Dave: we shuld busy this body too
Hantei Dave: says kuno
Hantei Dave: "Not the oni."
Keshijo: "I did deed it. We don't need to worry about it rising up."
Keshijo: "Was he honorable before... this... Kuno?
Keshijo: "
Keshijo: "If so, we should bury him with such honor."
Hantei Dave: (getting word from josh whether we should bury it)
Togashi Udon: "busy this body?"--I do not understand?
Keshijo: "and have him remembered as he was before the taint took him."
Togashi Udon: OH! BURY!
Hantei Dave: bury I mean
Hantei Dave: "I will bury him."
Hantei Dave: Kuno begins digging a hole
Togashi Udon: I will help you brother.
Hantei Dave: Kuno nods
Keshijo: I help as well.
Togashi Udon: I help:-)
Hida Oku: yech....
Hantei Dave: (touching moment)
Hida Oku: fools
Togashi Udon: (I touch oku)
Hida Oku: <smak!>
Hida Oku: I'll tend to the body
Keshijo: I say a small prayer for his true soul.
Hantei Dave: We all bury him together
Keshijo: Then we burn the Onis..
Hantei Dave: Kuno grabs Akira's katana and burys it on top
Hantei Dave: ...and burn the oni's before we leave
Hantei Dave: Sousha helps as well
Hantei Dave: everyone leaves together...with quiet respect for the dead friend ok Kuno's

Hantei Dave: oku is in the bathroom
Togashi Udon: are they going to attack?
Hantei Dave: heheh
Hantei Dave: Udon: yes...and a gazebo
Keshijo: No, he's on the roof?
Keshijo: :-)

Hantei Dave: there is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it
Keshijo: Is it dead?
Togashi Udon: HA! Is it dead?
Hantei Dave: no, its a gezebo!
Togashi Udon: Did I do any damage to it?
Keshijo: They have stats for Gazebo's in Munchkin...

Keshijo: D20 compatable...
Hantei Dave: maybe if you used an axe! Its a GAZEBO!
Hantei Dave: raabs back
Togashi Udon: I tried to buy the art for that
Keshijo: They are afraid of fire...
Hantei Dave: back to game
Togashi Udon: not for sale
Hantei Dave: Oku is on the roof
Togashi Udon: "Lookuphere! Lookuphere!"
Hantei Dave: Oku: you find one female body stabbed with a yari from behind...the others
have no signs of struggle
Hantei Dave: most have been dead awhile
Hida Oku: calculated strikes?
Hantei Dave: hm?
Hida Oku: were they taken my surprise and moved here?
Togashi Udon: Shinjoten-- this geisha..was she HIS?
Hantei Dave: you aren't sure
Keshijo: "I think so. From the note."
Hantei Dave: (speaking to oku on that one)
Keshijo: "We should bury her."
Togashi Udon: then who are these others? Did the scorpion take care of them?
Hida Oku: yes
Hantei Dave: (it is handling the dead...eta's jobs)
Hida Oku: I can do it
Hantei Dave: not samurai
Hida Oku: crab have no quams about it
Hantei Dave: and again
Hantei Dave: it will take time
Hantei Dave: but feel free to do it
Hida Oku: true
Hantei Dave: Sousha and Kuno refuse to
Keshijo: I bury at least her.
Hantei Dave: Kuno changes his mind since you all helped with Akira
Keshijo: "Scorpions have no problem discarding honor for what is right."
Hida Oku: I want to use the time to figure out what happened
Hantei Dave: he helps with the geisha
Keshijo: If the others don't want to handle the bodies I'll do that.
Hantei Dave: Sousha refuses and sits on the bank with a straw stalk in his mouth
Keshijo: Helping dig is enough.
Hantei Dave: ok, you spend time burying the geisha...anyone elsse from the house?
Keshijo: Anyone I can.
Hantei Dave: Sousha draws his sword while you 4 dig
Keshijo: They deserve that little honor.
Hantei Dave: He waves his hand at you guys from behind
Togashi Udon: Shinjoten- she must have failed her job and took her own life then.
Soshuro said that Toturi was taken care of, so that must be what has
happened. At least with her.
Hida Oku: back to the roof
Hantei Dave: Oku hops up
Hantei Dave: Sousha stays on the rock...hand on katana
Keshijo: "And she knows the consequences of delaying him."
Hantei Dave: Kuno places his hand as well
Togashi Udon: I am confused about the others. Did the Scorpion kill all the
possible witnesses?
Hantei Dave: Udon, kesh: do you want to hide?
Keshijo: (Udon: that was Shoju who said it...)
Togashi Udon: right, sorry
Togashi Udon: why am i hiding?
Hantei Dave: you aren't sure
Keshijo: I look at what Sousha is watching.
Togashi Udon: ok, i'll hide
Hida Oku: (something coming, Sousha says)
Hantei Dave: but anyway, 2 peasants come walking heavily from the woods
Hantei Dave: carrying a body limply
Keshijo: I look at them.
Togashi Udon: WTF?
Hantei Dave: they don't see you all as they walk into the middle seating
Hantei Dave: sweating
Hantei Dave: then they see you and stop short...looking at Keshijo
Hantei Dave: they stammer
Keshijo: "What are you doing?"
Hantei Dave: and hold an dead old woman
Hantei Dave: you whisper
Keshijo: (Yeah. It should be scary)
Hantei Dave: they make will rolls against your presence kesh
Hantei Dave: roll
Keshijo: 14
Keshijo: No skill?
Hantei Dave: 16 and 12 on my wills
Hantei Dave: not unless you have SCARY skill
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Keshijo: Um... Leadership...
Keshijo: :-)
Hantei Dave: not for this ^_-
Keshijo: Doh.
Hantei Dave: one of them finds the courage to speak
Hantei Dave: "we...we....are bringing the woman to the house."
Keshijo: "Why?"
Hantei Dave: "Its just that...we heard stories of of..people...coming back from the dead...
sos we bring them here...next to that dead geisha."
Hantei Dave: "This lady lived in our village her whole life. She dies alone sick."
Hantei Dave: died
Keshijo: "Was the Geisha the only one here when you started?"
Hida Oku: dave, change clothes around
Hantei Dave: he nods
Hida Oku: back to normal
Hantei Dave: ok Oku
Hantei Dave: still on roof though
Keshijo: "The dead come back when they are not respected."
Hida Oku: come down on oposite side
Hantei Dave: k
Keshijo: "You should give them a proper burial."
Hida Oku: walk to the group
Hantei Dave: they see Udon
Hantei Dave: an Oku
Hida Oku: "how have these others died?"
Hantei Dave: and then Sousha and Kuno
Togashi Udon: (smile)
Keshijo: "Help us dig."
Hantei Dave: They awkwardlyput the body down
Hida Oku: "well?"
Keshijo: "You." I point to the quiet one. "Go get help."
Hantei Dave: "They...died for one reason or another...some from another village. I am
not sure how that girl died though sir."
Hida Oku: "how did they die?"
Hida Oku: ah
Hantei Dave: He trips his way off quick;y
Keshijo: "Surely you can find some eta."
Hida Oku: I'll inspect her
Hantei Dave: the geisha oku?
Togashi Udon: I don't understand. What made you deside to bring dead bodies
here?
Hantei Dave: "We just figured that that geisha died for a reason...what with the note and
all. It seemed the place to bring them."
Togashi Udon: Instead of burying them as your ancestors have been doing for
ages.
Hida Oku: oh, I already did
Hida Oku: "who was the girl?"
Hantei Dave: "I already told you....the dead are walkin."
Hantei Dave: (that's who they meant oku)
Togashi Udon: The dead are walking?
Hantei Dave: "so's I heard."
Togashi Udon: Heard?
Togashi Udon: From who--where?
Hida Oku: everywhere, udon
Hantei Dave: "Well, its just that...these are hard times sirs. And we don't risk the crops
with no bad omens and all."
Hantei Dave: "...and the village is done scared is all."
Togashi Udon: What Oku?
Keshijo: "Not respecting the dead is the quickest way to bad omens."
Hida Oku: Udon, the dead are walking all over
Hantei Dave: "Hai." He drops in digs with his hands in that spot
Togashi Udon: SINCE WHEN!
Hida Oku: oh, I guesss that's information I forgot to share
Togashi Udon: Oh, okay then. WHAT!
Hantei Dave: you all spending time burying?
Hantei Dave: Oku: you've only seen it in the shadowlands
Keshijo: "Udon, it was part of the prophecy..."
Hantei Dave: and possibly Akira
Hantei Dave: ..and maybe the Phoenix in the beginning ^_-
Hida Oku: uh oh
Hantei Dave: lol
Togashi Udon: Just because it is part of the prophacy doesnt make it expected...
Hantei Dave: Sousha jingles his money around not helping at all
Hantei Dave: sitting back on his rock
Togashi Udon: ...Actually, I guess it does...
Hantei Dave: the peasant is still diggind
Hantei Dave: you are all hovering over the body of a dead woman
Hantei Dave: ehhehehe
Togashi Udon: dig
Hantei Dave: Kuno only helps with the geisha
Hida Oku: that's all I'll help with, too
Togashi Udon: a monk is considered a lower class, so i have no problem helping
Hantei Dave: late in the night about 30 men arrive ...with the peasant dismissed before
Hida Oku: the eta can bury the rest
Hantei Dave: they carry shovels
Hantei Dave: and hoes
Keshijo: Good.
Hantei Dave: and picks
Togashi Udon: Are they alive?
Hida Oku: mad hoes yo
Hantei Dave: the one bows to you all and the others ignore you and go to work tired but
quietly
Keshijo: "Thank you."
Hantei Dave: Udon: more awake than you guys ^_-
Hantei Dave: Kuno leans against a tree and sleeps quietly
Hantei Dave: it is really late. You can't concentrate on prayers with this noise.
Keshijo: When the hut is empty I burn it.
Hantei Dave: or wouldn't feel right to anyway
Hantei Dave: is that ok with everyone?
Togashi Udon: yes
Hantei Dave: ok...late in the night the house burns
Togashi Udon: FWOOSH!
Hantei Dave: an old peasant man comes up to Keshijo
Keshijo: I greet him.
Hantei Dave: He stares at Kesh with an old wrinkly pointed chin
Hantei Dave: and leans on his cane
Togashi Udon: (is he alive?)
Hantei Dave: "I don't care who you be...an don't tell us neither."
Hantei Dave: "This was once the Takara-Musubi Taki (Treasure Knot Waterfall). It's
now a Waterfall of Tears."
Hantei Dave: "We don't need a bunch of samurai stirring up more trouble."
Hantei Dave: "We did what you asked now in the morning it would be better for you to
leave."
Keshijo: "Don't worry. A quick blessing and we will be gone."
Keshijo: "Remeber to respect the dead or they will haunt."
Hantei Dave: "All right."
Hida Oku: what do you know of what happened here with the geisha?
Hantei Dave: "I don know nothin."
Hida Oku: and watch your place, old man
Hantei Dave: "You can't kill me without me comin back to haunt ya."
Hantei Dave: he curles his lip
Hantei Dave: Another peasant prostrates.
Hida Oku: I'm not worried about that
Hantei Dave: "Don't pay no attention to granpa. Please."
Hida Oku: feh
Hantei Dave: he keeps head down
Togashi Udon: "Good sir, have many from the village lived after death?"
Hantei Dave: granpa: "None."
Hantei Dave: "And it won't happen neither."
Keshijo: I sniff..
Hantei Dave: roll
Togashi Udon: "I certinly hope so. Domo." (bow)
Hantei Dave: "So do we!" says an abrupt voice.
Keshijo: 15
Hantei Dave: kesh: seems ok
Hantei Dave: the peasants clear a path
Keshijo: I look at the voice.
Hantei Dave: 3 men in bright red and yellow robes and colored bamboo hats with gold
medalions walk through.
Togashi Udon: (you have to look at the person, shinjoten--you cant see a voice...)
Hantei Dave: the one in front holds out a medallion from his neck with the 5 elements
engraved in gold
Hantei Dave: "Isawa Inquisitors."
Keshijo: I bow to them.
Hantei Dave: He bows back
Hantei Dave: as do the other 2
Togashi Udon: bow
Hantei Dave: and waits for the rest of you to bow also
Hantei Dave: He looks very pompous and regal
Hantei Dave: Kuno stays down pretending to be half asleep and sousha is asleep
Hantei Dave: Oku?
Hantei Dave: (these are big wigs)
Hida Oku: bow
Hida Oku: (though I'm probably higher status)
Hantei Dave: "I am Isawa Nakamura. We saw the fire."
Hida Oku: hai...
Hantei Dave: "This is Inquisitor Ichi and Monme"
Hantei Dave: if anyone has diplomacy or high society roll

Togashi Udon: (shall i speak?)
Hantei Dave: anyone may ^_-
Keshijo: "I am most honored."
Togashi Udon: "What can we do for you three this early morning, samas?"
Hantei Dave: "I have been instructed to inspect the tanto bearers for signs of taint. We
will conduct business in the morning."
Hantei Dave: (A splash is heard from Kuno on the rock)
Hantei Dave: The inquisitors turn their heads
Hantei Dave: Kuno plays sleep
Togashi Udon: Excuse me sama?
Hida Oku: no need to inspect, inquisitor... know that I do carry the taint
Hantei Dave: they look at Udon with eyes jutting back and forth to Kuno
Keshijo: "I trust our actions here comply to your standards?"
Togashi Udon: If I may ask,
Togashi Udon: by whos orders?
Hida Oku: what are your orders, then?
Hida Oku: well?
Hantei Dave: "By our own. As instructed by Hantei the 24th, we Inquisitors have free
range to inspect signs of maho (blood magic) and the taint. "
Hantei Dave: " I do not care to discuss matters further tonight. Our camp is nearby.
Come early in the morning."
Hantei Dave: He bows quickly and walks off with his men
Keshijo: "Hai, sama."
Hantei Dave: (looks like it will be a long night)
Togashi Udon: (gulp)
Hantei Dave: the peasants clear out quickly
Keshijo: Are they done?
Hantei Dave: they are leaving kesh
Hida Oku: FOOLS! all of them
Keshijo: Are they done?
Hantei Dave: Kuno looks into the river
Hantei Dave: they seem to be kesh

Hida Oku: MY ROBES!
Hida Oku: KUNO!!!!!!
Hida Oku: GET OVER HERE!
Hantei Dave: Kuno: "Better it stay down there."
Keshijo: Douse myself with water upstream from Kuno.
Hantei Dave: Ichi and Monme stand back with one hand on their walking sticks
Hantei Dave: Oku?
Hantei Dave: Nakamura paces a moment looking down.
Hida Oku: yes
Hantei Dave: "Their have been sayings that the bearers stand for the Dark Brother. Is
there in truth in this?"
Hida Oku: <mutters>
Hantei Dave: he asks everyone
Keshijo: "We stand against the dark brother."
Hida Oku: BITE YOUR TONGUE!
Togashi Udon: There is no truth to your statement.
Hida Oku: and never say such a thing again
Hantei Dave: "Hmmm.... and do you deny that any of you carry the taint." (roll WILL
anyone with honosty trait -1 per taint point)
Hida Oku: or you will find yourself without the means to make such an
accusation again
Hida Oku: I do not deny it
Keshijo: "Oku, this is not the place."
Hantei Dave: He looks up at Oku
Hantei Dave: "I see."
Hantei Dave: "You have done the right this Oku-san."
Hantei Dave: thing
Hantei Dave: he says
Hida Oku: oh yes, and what was "right?"
Hantei Dave: "does anyone else decare their taint?"
Hantei Dave: (dave brings up kuno's sheet)
Keshijo: I'm clean.
Togashi Udon: As far as I know, I do not carry the taint.
Hantei Dave: (Kuno rolls honosty)
Hantei Dave: (at a bonus...not negative...taint helps the lie)
Hantei Dave: who else has honesty?
Togashi Udon: (good taint)
Togashi Udon: (raises hand meekly)
Hantei Dave: Kuno stays silent and grits his teeth
Hantei Dave: "He looks at Udon. You Udon?"
Hantei Dave: "Speak."

Hantei Dave: Oku gets whipped again
Hantei Dave: one more point...you are lucky
Keshijo: "Hantei the 38th ordered that we were not to be harmed by servants of the
empire."
Keshijo: "Are you violating his edict?"
Togashi Udon: I don't belive you. The only one walking an evil path here are you.
Togashi Udon: and your bullies
Hantei Dave: He snorts. " I only look out for his EMporer's best interests."

Keshijo: "He does not serve OUR enemy."
Togashi Udon: Do you?

Hantei Dave: "Do you?!?!"
Hantei Dave: "ANSWER!"

Hantei Dave: He holds the branch at Oku's temple
Hantei Dave: "Your last chance...."

Hantei Dave: "your pain and tenebreous urges come from the corruption creating an
imbalance"
Hantei Dave: "of the elemeents of your body, mind and spirit
Hantei Dave: "When it reaches a critical point you will give in to one of them."
Hantei Dave: "If it is your body, you will die of disease."
Hida Oku: and at that mtime, my brothers will take my life
Hida Oku: and I will be grateful
Hantei Dave: "Your mind will allow you to go mad."
Hida Oku: for that is the way of the crab
Keshijo: "Oku, it would be my honor."
Hida Oku: Kesh: <bow>
Hida Oku: and I would do the same
Hantei Dave: "Only if it is the spirit will your celestial order change."
Keshijo: bow.
Hantei Dave: "I believe almost all of ytou now."
Hida Oku: then you will believe kuno as well
Hantei Dave: "What do you sugest I do about Kuno-san?"
Hida Oku: if you pursue us, the consequences will be dire
Hantei Dave: "I do not trust Kuno-san."
Keshijo: "Leave him to us."
Hida Oku: we will handle him, if it is needed
Hantei Dave: "and your threats are meaninless Oku-san."
Keshijo: "He understands what is happening as well as Oku."
Hantei Dave: "I will give you a trial."
Keshijo: "He knows what will happen."
Hida Oku: we all do
Hantei Dave: "Isawa Inquisitor Monme will journey with you a while."
Hantei Dave: "He will observe Kuno's actions."
Hida Oku: is he capable of facing the evils of the world?
Hantei Dave: "and take no other action unless you beg him to end Kuno's life."
Hida Oku: if he is not, we will leave him behind without a hought
Hantei Dave: "Of course Oku-san."
Hida Oku: he must not hinder us
Hantei Dave: "I have one more thing for you."
Hida Oku: and if he makes one step out of line............
Hantei Dave: He takes out 5 cloths
Hantei Dave: and hands you each one...2 to Keshijo
Togashi Udon: domo
Hida Oku: what is this
Keshijo: I take them.
Hida Oku: you will also pay for my robe
Hantei Dave: "Do not interfere with his investigation Oku-san. This will certify your
innocense against the Empire."
Hantei Dave: "If you feel the taint grab you....
Hida Oku: my brothers will determine my own guilt
Hida Oku: (dave, I have to go
Hida Oku: )
Hantei Dave: "Wrap your tanto in this silk. And end your life. The blood here will admit
your disguest of the Dark Lord."
Hantei Dave: ok raab
Hantei Dave: we are ending now anyway
Hida Oku: ok
Hantei Dave: I have one more piecce of advise for you
Hida Oku: never cross my path again... I will remember the pains you have
caused me
Hantei Dave: "Ican only conclude that hte Fallen One can taint all things material..."
Hantei Dave: "and no doubt corrupts the primal matter of Jigoku as well."
Hantei Dave: "If hearing of his pwer frightens you, that is good. for if you look lightly upon
what has happened, you open yourself
Hantei Dave: "to his torture.
Hantei Dave: "Be ever vigilant., for he is always waiting."
Togashi Udon: Domo. Sama, after all of this, I think we deserve an answer. Was
that the 3rd scroll?
Hantei Dave: "Waiting for you to lose patience, to panic at beingweak or ugly or
diseased.....and to ask HIM for help. That is all."
Hantei Dave: "Udon-san...yes."
Togashi Udon: Then you have cost us precious time.
Togashi Udon: Bow
Hantei Dave: "Have I? If you hate the Dark Lord, then you have my assistance."
Hantei Dave: "But only after proving Kuno's innocense."
Hida Oku: i gotta go
Hida Oku: gnight all
Hantei Dave: bye raab
Hantei Dave: thanks
Keshijo: "Please send our regards to the Elemental Masters."
Hida Oku: I'll finish later
Keshijo: See ya Raab.
Togashi Udon: If you hate the Dark Lord, your assisstance should have no
strings.
Hida Oku has left the room. Togashi Udon: bye raab
Hantei Dave: "It does not. But trust must first be gained."
Hantei Dave: "You must not have any strings."
Hantei Dave: He stares at Udon intently
Togashi Udon: Right now I don't like you very much. Good day.
Keshijo: "And give my greetings to her Lady of the Wind."
Togashi Udon: (leave)
Hantei Dave: He bows
