Hantei Dave: so you people are working on a deadline, you
began your travel
Hantei Dave: if memory serves, towards the Ikoma Castle
Hida Oku: I'm back everyone.... miss me?
Hida Oku: hey, where's udon?
Hantei Dave: Oku pops up from the tall grass
KibagamiKuno: yes, though i was recommending disguise.
Keshijo: Back
Keshijo: I was going to dress us up as Kuni Witch Hunters.
Suzume Sousha: heheeh
Keshijo: After we left Ryoko Owari...
Hantei Dave: if you people want, you can pass quickly enough
through the City of the Rich Frog on your travel
KibagamiKuno: maybe just pass enough to get a "description"
along the way...
Hida Oku: i think time is kind of important now
KibagamiKuno: i was going to ask, tho,
Keshijo: I thought Toturi was going to attack it..
KibagamiKuno: what kind of travelers would ride fast on
horses...
Hantei Dave: shhhh...not yet ^_-
KibagamiKuno: which is why we won't dilly dally there heh
Keshijo: Kuno: Exactly...
Keshijo: I think Dave's setting a trap.... :-)
Hida Oku: he always is
KibagamiKuno: oh, well then let's just "bypass" it.
Hantei Dave: so what is your meta gaming move then ^_-
Suzume Sousha: hhehe
KibagamiKuno: to figure out how we should disguise ourselves.
Hida Oku: we don't really need to stop, right?
Hantei Dave: you can attempt to ride through
Hantei Dave: they may want to see papers
Hantei Dave: or tantos
Hantei Dave: if you ride quickly enough they may not notice
Hida Oku: let's do that then
Hantei Dave: all in agreement?
Suzume Sousha: yes. If not we are law abiding people with
nothing to fear right? Should be no problem (dun dun dun)
Hantei Dave: disguises?
Hida Oku: at least we'll be able to get a good night's rest if
we get held up (or caught in an elaborate scheme)
KibagamiKuno: Ok, so let's revise that description
KibagamiKuno: not yet
KibagamiKuno: lag
KibagamiKuno: lag
Hida Oku: I don't need a disguise
Hantei Dave: ok, letting the laggers catch up
Keshijo: No, Oku should be fine...
Keshijo: The rest of us however...
KibagamiKuno: who rides around on horseback quickly, without
papers, and heading in the direction of a war?
Keshijo: Kuni Witch Hunters it is... :-)
Hantei Dave: so, everyone make a decision.
KibagamiKuno: 8 mins up. back in a sec. you guys decide what
we dress as, i'm find for kuni wh - my hair's already bright.
Hantei Dave: and dave lags a little
Suzume Sousha: I also have a pass to cross through just about
anywhere.
Hantei Dave: lag lag
Hida Oku: what the hell did you guys do?!
Suzume Sousha: from my good old days of doing deliveries.
Hantei Dave: hehe
Hantei Dave: who has disguise skill?
Hantei Dave: i know kesh does
Hantei Dave: i don't think you have enough wigs keshijo
Keshijo: Hmm...
Suzume Sousha: not I
Keshijo: Well, I did train with the witch hunters....
Keshijo: Why wouldn't I have extra wigs... :-)
Hantei Dave: i know. but it will take time to procure costumes
KibagamiKuno: back
Hantei Dave: makeup I'll give you as a freebee
KibagamiKuno: i have the hair already, we'll need two more
sets...
Hida Oku: why are you afraid?
Hantei Dave: hell, the Lion is willing to forgoe identity.
Suzume Sousha: I don't quite understand why we need to
disguise ourselves though. I mean are we recognizable?
Suzume Sousha: I didn't picture myself as famous :-)
Hida Oku: we're pretty recognizable as it is
Hantei Dave: Sousha: A bunch of ronin on unicorn horseback
with Clan features...hmmm
Hantei Dave: it is suspicious
Hida Oku: as soon as we flash a tanto, they know who we
are
Hida Oku: other than that, we dont have papaers
Hantei Dave: i mean, Sousha, Kuno, and Oku can be id'd by
clan fairly easily
KibagamiKuno: right
Hantei Dave: if nothing else but by mannerisms
KibagamiKuno: (to hida and dave)
Hantei Dave: pheh...elitist lion
Hantei Dave: wanna make some rolls Kehsijo?
Keshijo: I could try and make some papers... I have
Calligraphy....
Hantei Dave: oooh...forgery
Hantei Dave: thats a new one
KibagamiKuno: easy solution - do something noone else would
be familiar with. i.e., im speaking in chinese for the next few
guard posts we pass.
Hantei Dave: (new low)
Hida Oku: screw it... if anyone gies us lip about the
horses, we pull rank
KibagamiKuno: or steel
KibagamiKuno: or maybe that's the same thing
Hida Oku: exactly
Hantei Dave: ok, going through then?
Hantei Dave: no costumes?
Keshijo: We could get papers in Ryoko Owari easily enough...
Hantei Dave: Ryoko is south of you
Keshijo: Or costumes...
KibagamiKuno: woh, what happened to the disguise idea?
Suzume Sousha: I guess not other then makeup.
Hantei Dave: shall I roll a leader for now?
KibagamiKuno: if nothing else, let's dress as merchants, or ronin
just headed down for the fight.
Keshijo: We can probably get into Scorp lands easily enough...
Keshijo: I know the way around down there...
Keshijo: Then we get to Ryoko Owari...
KibagamiKuno: and they have so many guard houses these days
Hida Oku: i wont hide myself
Keshijo: I go to my old Butei school...
Hida Oku: I do that enough already
Keshijo: Get some disguises...
Hantei Dave: Sousha decides on course of action (by roll)
Keshijo: Don't worry about hiding Oku, since he is a crab...
Suzume Sousha: ok
Keshijo: and we're good...
Suzume Sousha: whoever wants to get disguised I think should if
they feel it necessary.
Suzume Sousha: basic makeup might work
Hantei Dave: ok, get to work Keshijo
Suzume Sousha: and we should proceed trgouh.
KibagamiKuno: i'll disguise - kuni if it makes sense, or whatever.
Suzume Sousha: but not necesarilly to fast because it might arise
even more suspission
Suzume Sousha: suspicion
Suzume Sousha: whater
Keshijo: Yeah...
Hantei Dave: make disguise rolls for each person
Hantei Dave: kuno first
Keshijo: We don't need to be Kuni's until we get closer to the
Crab though, right?
Suzume Sousha: (what type of roll is that?)
Hantei Dave: well, I thought you were trying to pass through the
rich frog city
Hida Oku: I'd advise against that, kesh
KibagamiKuno: no
Keshijo: No frogs...
KibagamiKuno: ok, look, when i made the disguise suggestion at
the end of the last game it was to
KibagamiKuno: help us get across borders and travel on the
roads without our every move being broadcast to
KibagamiKuno: anyone who might be watching for us, and
obviously they are. If any one of us isn't
KibagamiKuno: going to get disguised, it's not worth it for any of
us to,
Hantei Dave: ok, lets get organized. How does everyone wanna
pass through this city?
Hantei Dave: lag
KibagamiKuno: but otherwise we'll all need to hide our identities.
Suzume Sousha: that makes sense
Keshijo: So we want to be Kunis now?
Keshijo: All of us?
Hida Oku: no!
Hida Oku: bad idea
Hida Oku: oh ewll, your choice
Hida Oku: most crab aren't as nice... or patient as I am
KibagamiKuno: ok, if oku won't put on a disguise, then we're
wasting time considering them at all.
Suzume Sousha: here's another idea jsut to through it out. If
people are watching can we have OTHER people pretend to
be us to throw people off our trail?
Hantei Dave: Oku is at least a Crab though. He might actually
be traveling with Kuni Witch Hunters (also Crabs)
KibagamiKuno: if they are watching for oku, they'll see oku and
a bunch of companions.
Hantei Dave: sounds complex sousha. good luck hiring
someone
KibagamiKuno: not a random crab.
Keshijo: I probably could find somebody to act as us, but that
would take a lot of time and a lot of favors...
Keshijo: But if we adjust Oku's features slightly...
KibagamiKuno: who did you want to send to their death, soush?
Suzume Sousha: and we are on a time crunch right?
Hantei Dave: well, Oku agreed anyway
Keshijo: Beef up the armor, grow him a beard...
Hida Oku: not happening
Hantei Dave: oops...opr not
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hantei Dave: well, there is always the ride quickly method
Hida Oku: no disquise for me
Hida Oku: disguise
Hida Oku: let's just ride thru quickly
KibagamiKuno: lol, the crab is too proud for that. Ok, let's take
a different approach - let's try at least not going through the
centers of towns.
Suzume Sousha: lol!
Hantei Dave: all someone has to do is do it ^_-
Suzume Sousha: no disguise, I'm to proud, but lets get our asses
outta here quick
Suzume Sousha: lol
Hida Oku: you got it soush
Hantei Dave: somone wanna take the init?
Hantei Dave: Oku?
Hida Oku: I'm going
Hantei Dave: Oku rides
Hida Oku: <ride ride ride>
Hida Oku: see you all on the flip side
KibagamiKuno: and away we go. soush picks how we do it (he
got the lucky leader - heh - role earlier)
Keshijo: We still all have horses, right?
Suzume Sousha: I think we should go around
Hantei Dave: Sousha is the traveler of the group
Suzume Sousha: to many of us going through town is to
suspicious I think
Hantei Dave: they have watchtowers sousha
KibagamiKuno: tru
Suzume Sousha: or perhaps we can go one at a time, but time
probably wont permit
Hantei Dave: and you have a river to deal with
Suzume Sousha: by the way how big is this town?
Hantei Dave: small city, large town
Hantei Dave: a good 150 houses
Hantei Dave: or so
Suzume Sousha: wow.
Keshijo: Which city? Rich Frog? I am confused...
Hantei Dave: Rich Frog
Suzume Sousha: perhaps we can all go through the center, but
not all in the same space. IE 1 or 2 on the right, 1 or 2 in the
center and 1 or 2 on the left.
Suzume Sousha: that would be pretty inconspicous and fast.
KibagamiKuno: is it on the river or just near it?
Hantei Dave: only one entrance from this route...walled city
Suzume Sousha: doh!
Hantei Dave: the river is part of the city...outskirts
Keshijo: I thought we weren't going to go to the Frog...
Suzume Sousha: going around then
Keshijo: Toturi said he was going to attackit..
Hantei Dave: kesh: he didn't say don't go in. He is getting
Scorpions first
Hantei Dave: for ranks
KibagamiKuno: true
Keshijo: Well, why go to the den of his enemy?
KibagamiKuno: dave, i'm going to toss on something ratty so i'm
not incredibly obvious.
Hida Oku: thru
Suzume Sousha: defintely going around.
Hantei Dave: ok...you are getting rattier everyday anyway
Hantei Dave: which way sousha? east west?
Suzume Sousha: west sounds good.
Hantei Dave: well, I'll make it easy then, you all reach the river.
Much to treacherous to cross here
Suzume Sousha: does the city wall extend to the river?
Hantei Dave: no, but the watchtowers would see you
Suzume Sousha: I was just about to say we would probably be
seen
Suzume Sousha: ok so I guess we have to go the other way :-)
Hantei Dave: it will take about half a day to circle to the east side
sousha
Hantei Dave: and escape the town's towers that is
Hantei Dave: the horses drink
Suzume Sousha: argh!!!! :-)
Hantei Dave: (your choice)
Hantei Dave: looks like the city is the only way across
Suzume Sousha: yeah
Keshijo: Oh.
Suzume Sousha: does anyone have any objections?
Suzume Sousha: to getting disguised that is?
Hida Oku: yep
Keshijo: I am disguised...
KibagamiKuno: hey, they're going to see us, going away from the
town
Hantei Dave: Oku does
Suzume Sousha: yeah but your gone u don't count
KibagamiKuno: am disguised, with a hat.
Hida Oku: I'm already going towards it, anyway
Hantei Dave: Kuno has on a shabby straw hat
Suzume Sousha: I thought oku already went trhough without us.
Hantei Dave: Oku gives up the game and rides towards the city
Hantei Dave: now he will
Suzume Sousha: ahh ok
Hantei Dave: you all are going along I assume?
Hantei Dave: what speed?
KibagamiKuno: nah, i keep going toward where i crossed last
time.
Suzume Sousha: well I think we can go through the city and keep
oku in the middel and hopefully people won't notice him
KibagamiKuno: following soush.
Suzume Sousha: normal speed to not draw attention
Hantei Dave: Kuno, gotta do it on the other side of the town
Keshijo: Hai.
KibagamiKuno: ah/
KibagamiKuno: ok ok, so let's just split up and go in in smaller
groups.
KibagamiKuno: two and two.
Hantei Dave: ok, oku and who else in first group?
Hida Oku: any takers
Hida Oku: ?
Suzume Sousha: I kind of thought about that also but there is
only one point of entry.
Suzume Sousha: I guess we can have one group go wait 20
minutes and have another group go.
KibagamiKuno: just send one ahead now, and the other two will
catch up.
Hida Oku: why are you so worried about this town?
KibagamiKuno: one group waiting around will be suspicious
enough anyway.
Suzume Sousha: and let oku go first since he isn't disguised. IF
they don't mess with him then we should all make it through :-)
Suzume Sousha: sounds good to me.
Hantei Dave: Oku goes alone
Hida Oku: hah! what ever happened to glory? <rides on>
Keshijo: I could go with him..
Keshijo: Soush?
Suzume Sousha: if u wish. Kuno and I will follow in a little bit
Hantei Dave: oku is already ahead
Hantei Dave: you need to play catch up
Suzume Sousha: that acutally might work out well if keshijo goes
in after him anyway
Hantei Dave: decision keshijo?
Hantei Dave: lag
Keshijo: Okay. I catch up.
Keshijo: I am lagging a little.. the thingie turned yellow...
Suzume Sousha: what thingy is that?
Suzume Sousha: oh I see
Keshijo: Better now...
Suzume Sousha: (never noticed about that before)
Hantei Dave: privates you other two
Hantei Dave: ok, sousha and Kuno go now
Suzume Sousha: very well. moving out
Hantei Dave: you 2 reach the gate. Unicorn guards stop you
and ask for traveling papers
KibagamiKuno: Are the others visible?
Hantei Dave: no
Hantei Dave: they must have passed through...or are dead
Suzume Sousha: by the way is udon with us?
Hantei Dave: no, Udon is missing
KibagamiKuno: (nope)
Hantei Dave: "papers?"
Hantei Dave: "ahem.....papers?"
KibagamiKuno: i look over at soush
Suzume Sousha: I pull out my pass
Hantei Dave: "What is your name please?"
Suzume Sousha: Kagume. Suzume Kagume.
Hantei Dave: "Where is your destintion?
Hantei Dave: he writes all this down
Suzume Sousha: To Ikomo Castle
Hantei Dave: destination
Hantei Dave: "Ok, you may pass. Show the papers to the
rivermen. No charge..."
KibagamiKuno: i ride after him.
Suzume Sousha: thank you. slight bow
KibagamiKuno: <bow>
Suzume Sousha: (slight bow :-))
Hantei Dave: you both pass and move through city quickly
enough
Hantei Dave: and meet oku and kesh at the river
Hida Oku: now that wasn't so hard, ws it?
Hida Oku: slinking thru... HA
KibagamiKuno: unfortunately, it wasn't.
Hantei Dave: People cross the river on caravans held up by the
taxi service...or some get carried on shoulders.
Keshijo: What does the city look like, Dave?
Suzume Sousha: (whispers) how did u get past the guards?
Keshijo: (Whispers) "Flashed a knife."
Hantei Dave: Kesh: you guys have been through here. it is a
large merchant city. Many Unicorn and many ronin. Some
Lion and Crane. Even a Phoenix bushi...oh, and of course
Dragon
Keshijo: (Oh wait, I always whisper....)
Suzume Sousha: (whispers) crap we gotta get outta here quick.
They might have sent signal to the guards at the other end.
Hantei Dave: they rivermen, allow you to ride through...no
charge due to Sousha's papers
Hantei Dave: Kuno, traffic is down since the last time you were
here
Hantei Dave: make riding rolls all
KibagamiKuno: well, who wants to travel toward a war these
days? especially when they can instead sit home and be
depressed and hungry.
Suzume Sousha: 11
KibagamiKuno: 25
Suzume Sousha: I think
Keshijo: 22
Suzume Sousha: Is it 3d6 + riding?
KibagamiKuno: yes.
Hida Oku: no ability?
Suzume Sousha: yeah then 11 is right :-)
Hantei Dave: waits
Hantei Dave: or lags
KibagamiKuno: but riding includes the ability.
Keshijo: Dex
Hida Oku: but if I dont have the ability
Hida Oku: ah
KibagamiKuno: riding skill + dex + 3d6
Hantei Dave: +riding+dex
Suzume Sousha: oh ok
Suzume Sousha: 16
KibagamiKuno: i thought we all had the ability...
Hida Oku: 20
Hantei Dave: oops...only sousha falls into the drink
Hantei Dave: the rivermen laugh
KibagamiKuno: we all got at least one point from the unicorn.
Suzume Sousha: lol
KibagamiKuno: doh
Hantei Dave: (good thing sousha doesn't have an anger
complication)
KibagamiKuno: heh
KibagamiKuno: wwe'd be here all day chasing rivermen.
Hantei Dave: unlike last time you were here Kuno, there is also a
Lion gate on the other side now
Suzume Sousha: (I think I thought about taking that too)
Hantei Dave: the Lion are also checking papers
Hantei Dave: Sousha remounts
KibagamiKuno: sousha should go first this time, let's just act as
his escort.
Suzume Sousha: I trot over to the person checking papers
Hantei Dave: wanna make any new plans quickly?
Hantei Dave: i assume Kuno is leader now
KibagamiKuno: if that doesn't work, i should be able to get us
through.
Suzume Sousha: thats fine with me
Keshijo: Hai.
Suzume Sousha: :-)
KibagamiKuno: no no, just making suggestions from the back
here, soush's still in charge heh
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: Sousha, the wet, rides up
Suzume Sousha: ok I trot over the the lion with my wet license to
pass.
Hantei Dave: this is a different type of gate
Hantei Dave: these guys wear full war armor
Hantei Dave: they are of course, Ikoma.
Suzume Sousha: (and shivering possibly from teh cold, or
possibly because I think we might be found out)]
Hantei Dave: its a nice day Sousha
Hantei Dave: "papers?"
KibagamiKuno: (hey dave, were any of these guards the one at
the castle last time?)
Hantei Dave: you others act as escorts
KibagamiKuno: (heh)
Hantei Dave: Kuno: too large a family
Suzume Sousha: I pass the license to him.
Hantei Dave: he looks it over
KibagamiKuno: just checking for fun coincidence
Hantei Dave: "Whats with the escort?"
Suzume Sousha: I carry an important notice which needs be
guarded.
Hantei Dave: "By whose orders? Where is it going?"
Suzume Sousha: It is going to the Ikoma Castle, but I can't give u
any more information then that.
Hantei Dave: "You can't tell us the sender?"
Hantei Dave: (got any diplomacy-like skill sousha?)
Suzume Sousha: That too is something I cannot tell u.
Suzume Sousha: (checking)
Hida Oku: <oh boy>
Suzume Sousha: (nope)
Hantei Dave: "Whats a Sparrow doing at this end? Don't you
usually work for Crane?"
Hantei Dave: "What is your name?"
KibagamiKuno: (it's on the papers heh)
Suzume Sousha: Yes usually we do, but much is changing in this
worlds
Suzume Sousha: Suzume Kagume
Suzume Sousha: (I hope not) :-)
Suzume Sousha: (if it is we are in trouble :-))
Hantei Dave: "If it is such an important message, then I will have
one of my men assist you to the castle."
Suzume Sousha: thats fine thank you for your assistance.
Suzume Sousha: what is your name
Suzume Sousha: I will be sure to have you rewarded for your
service.
Hantei Dave: "I perform my service without reward!"
Hantei Dave: "I am Ikoma Hinare, the gatekeeper"
Hantei Dave: "Ikoma Shinosuke will take you."
Suzume Sousha: thank you. (bows)
Hantei Dave: Shinosuke mounts up
Hantei Dave: He gets ready to ride
Hantei Dave: i take it you all follow
Suzume Sousha: yes.
Hantei Dave: Sousha leads and the others follow
Keshijo: Yes.
Hantei Dave: SHinosuke says that you will reach the castle by
evening
Hantei Dave: does anyone want to do something on this ride?
Hantei Dave: (ie. you guys don't really have a message)
KibagamiKuno: yup.
Hantei Dave: (the Ikoma might not like that ruse)
KibagamiKuno: dave - we will in a moment or so
Suzume Sousha: I put together a ohony message while we ride if
he wont notice. . . or perhaps someone behind me should
Hantei Dave: (its like doing your homework in the back of the
room...but on a horse)
Hantei Dave: make a writting roll then sousha
KibagamiKuno: woh -
KibagamiKuno: a message of this importance
KibagamiKuno: wouldn't be entrusted to paper that could be
stolen...
Hantei Dave: meaning?
Suzume Sousha: (what is that? My 3d6 is a 12, but I have no
writing skill)
Suzume Sousha: its verbal :-)
Hantei Dave: Sousha scribbles on the back of a horse
KibagamiKuno: it surely would have been comitted to memory,
to be recited for the intended recipient - who would have
committed seppuku if intercepted.
Suzume Sousha: though I have never heard of such a thing in the
past. usually any important message was always writen
Hida Oku: can we stop for dinner?
Hida Oku: I haven't eaten in 2 days
Hantei Dave: Shinosuke: "I thought the message was important?"
Hantei Dave: he squints
Keshijo: How far is the castle?
Hantei Dave: and rears his horse
KibagamiKuno: heh, it is. we haven't eaten in two days.
Keshijo: (Asking you Dave)
Hida Oku: if you were a crab, you'd know that SURVIVAL
is important
Suzume Sousha: It is but we got here early
Suzume Sousha: from riding 2 straight days
Hantei Dave: kesh: only a few more hourse
Hantei Dave: hours
Keshijo: Is it in the right direction?
Hantei Dave: He looks to the Oku
Hantei Dave: Do you have any diplomacy skills oku?
Hida Oku: hell no
Keshijo: Oku the Diplomat.... Dave, were you kidding? :-)
Hantei Dave: well, roll away then -4
Hida Oku: 8
Hantei Dave: i roll a 13
Hantei Dave: he looks at Keshijo
Hantei Dave: whats keshijo doing?
Keshijo: Watching.
Hantei Dave: is he dressed as SHinjoten? (no mask)
Keshijo: Yes.
Keshijo: Eye patch and all.
Hantei Dave: make a presence roll (with a diplomacy skill Kesh)
Keshijo: 18
Hantei Dave: 19
Keshijo: Crap.
Keshijo: "Hai?"
Hantei Dave: he cracks his horses reigns and rides hard towards
Ikoma castle
Hida Oku: oh shit
Keshijo: "Expect the army very soon...."
Keshijo: "Let's move... Fast..."
KibagamiKuno: no.
Suzume Sousha: (if he is moving fast could we move slowly on
purpose and loose him?) :-)
KibagamiKuno: idiot, i ride after him.
Hantei Dave: where you guys goijng?
Hantei Dave: Kuno rides after the bushi
Keshijo: He doesn't believe us.
Hantei Dave: riding roll Kuno
Hida Oku: is kuno next to him?
Hantei Dave: me too
Hantei Dave: 16
Keshijo: Hell, I don't believe us...
KibagamiKuno: 24
Hida Oku: Kuno, stay back!
Hantei Dave: kuno begins catching up
Hantei Dave: anyone else?
Hantei Dave: wanna do something?
Keshijo: "Better get him..."
Keshijo: I follow Kuno...
Suzume Sousha: I follow kuno as quickly as possible without
falling if possible :-)
Hida Oku: I throw something at him
Suzume Sousha: how far ahead is he?
Hantei Dave: sousha: roll riding
Hida Oku: something round
Suzume Sousha: doh!!!
Suzume Sousha: lets just say I feel
Suzume Sousha: 12
Hantei Dave: sousha lags behind a bit
Hantei Dave: Oku: roll attack...get a 22. he is moving fast
Hida Oku: yes, 23
Hantei Dave: sorry, I mean a -4
Hantei Dave: i gotta roll dodge
Hida Oku has left the room.
Keshijo: Blasted himself right off the net....
Hantei Dave: Oku disappears
Hida Oku has entered the room.
Hida Oku: as I was saying, I don't need to hit him directly
Hantei Dave: oku reapears
Hantei Dave: what was it oku?
Hida Oku: 23
Hantei Dave: no...what di you throw?
Hida Oku: kayusasko
Hida Oku: itching poison
KibagamiKuno: "Watch out!"
Hida Oku: that incapacitaes victims
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hantei Dave: Kuno and the escort ride through a yellow cloud
Hida Oku: kuno, kuno, kuno
Keshijo: I stop.
Hantei Dave: make WILL rolls Kuno. add resistance
Hida Oku: I ride up to it
Hantei Dave: sousha is closest next
KibagamiKuno: hida, you idiot beyond all proportions.
Hida Oku: don't worry
KibagamiKuno: you just attacked our ally. the one with the big
army nearby. the one who won't be reporting in by evening.
Hantei Dave: hehehe...i had a great roll
Hantei Dave: you blasts with his head down through the cloud
Hantei Dave: roll Kuno
KibagamiKuno: 22
Hantei Dave: keshijo? doing anything?
Keshijo: Watching, waiting...
Hantei Dave: kuno: you are also ok, but your clothes are
covered in a yellow powder
Keshijo: Checking my spells...
Hantei Dave: like the bushi's armor
KibagamiKuno: how's my hat?
Hantei Dave: oops..horses too
Hantei Dave: covered of course
Hantei Dave: i'll roll for horses
KibagamiKuno: "no, no ninja here...?
KibagamiKuno: "
Hantei Dave: Kuno's horse made it
Hantei Dave: the other didn't
Hantei Dave: the horse falls over and the bushi rolls off
KibagamiKuno: how close am i to our escort?
Hantei Dave: sousha: wanna ride through the cloud?
Hantei Dave: hehehe
KibagamiKuno: (nm, he rolled, didn't get caught under the
horse.)
Hantei Dave: no...made the dex roll
Suzume Sousha: cloud???
Suzume Sousha: oh heck no
Hantei Dave: Kuno, you can attack from the horse this round if
you want to
Hantei Dave: Sousha stops
Hantei Dave: ok, lets roll inits
Hantei Dave: damn. 17 on the escort
Suzume Sousha: 18
Suzume Sousha: wow I beat someone!
Hida Oku: 23
KibagamiKuno: 27
Keshijo: 30
Hantei Dave: ok, the escort draws his katana and gets into a
guard posture waiting for Kuno to attack, he says,
KibagamiKuno: he says nothing

Keshijo: Nah.
Suzume Sousha: by the way, what type of internet access do u

KibagamiKuno has left the room.
Hantei Dave: he had a power outage...he'll be right back
Keshijo: Ah.
Hantei Dave: the fortunes are against you
Suzume Sousha: I was wondering if any of us would get hit by
that
Hantei Dave: hey! skips here
Suzume Sousha: with all the wind I'm shocked more winds aren't
blowing
Hida Oku has entered the room.
Hida Oku: this one samuri is defeating us all!
Togashi Udon has entered the room.
Hantei Dave: Udon is not here...he is a cheerleader
Hida Oku: udon!
Hantei Dave: lots power failures and such skip
Togashi Udon: (i am nothing but a whisper on the wind)
Keshijo: We all good...
Togashi Udon: (howdy)
Hantei Dave: a noodle on the wind
Keshijo: (I'm the whisperer....)
Hida Oku has left the room.
Togashi Udon: (hehe--i'm at work--could use a noodle or 2

Togashi Udon: np
Hida Oku has left the room.
Suzume Sousha: I'm back whenever people are ready.
Togashi Udon: (wooosh...swoosh...woooooooo)
Hida Oku has entered the room.
KibagamiKuno has entered the room.
Hantei Dave: hmmm
KibagamiKuno: yay.
Togashi Udon: (the wind smiles like it had a face)
Hantei Dave: here they all come again
Hantei Dave: ...soon to fall off that is
KibagamiKuno: no, the wind smiles like it has an attitude...
KibagamiKuno: then it huffs, n puffs, n blows all the power and
cable lines down
Togashi Udon: (hehe)
Hantei Dave: only brian still needed
Hantei Dave: well, its Kuno's turn anyway
Hantei Dave: Kuno declares!
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hantei Dave: this guy gets angry
KibagamiKuno: "Now put your sword away before i think you a
traitor."
KibagamiKuno: (void)
Hantei Dave: you are calling him a traiter?
Keshijo: back
Hantei Dave: k
Hantei Dave: roll kuno
KibagamiKuno: i am suggesting that i will if he doesn't put the
sword away now that he knows who i am.
KibagamiKuno: 22.
KibagamiKuno: (yes, 22.)
Hantei Dave: "BY DECREE OF MATSU TSUKO, THE
BEARER OF THE PHOENIX TANTO, KESHIJO, IS NOT
PERMITTED IN THESE LANDS! FURTHERMORE, YOU
DID NOT DECLARE YOURSELVES AT THE GATE BUT
PRETENDED TO BE ESCORTS!"
Suzume Sousha: (because keshijo isn't allowed in these lands
:-))
KibagamiKuno: "You did not ask my name at the gate, but you
know it now. Put your sword away."
Hantei Dave: "AND YOU HAVE INSULTED MY HONOR!"
Hantei Dave: "TWICE!"
Hida Oku: kesh isn't allowed anywhere
Keshijo: How's he know it's me?
Keshijo: No disguise check?
Hantei Dave: he made a logical assumption
Hantei Dave: that you must be here
Keshijo: "We are his escorts."
Keshijo: "And I am called Shinjoten. Keshijo entrusted the tanto
to me."
Keshijo: "He has gone to his family."
Hantei Dave: josh is dying again
Togashi Udon: (I Huff and Puff and Kuno goes down ;-) )
Hantei Dave: josh is rebooting again as Keshijo whispers
Hantei Dave: :P
Keshijo: D'oh!
KibagamiKuno has left the room.
Suzume Sousha: doh
Hantei Dave: anyone else wanna go?
Hantei Dave: or make a suggestion?
Hantei Dave: Sousha: you are riding up now
Suzume Sousha: I'm kinda curious as to how kuno was going to
get outta this one :-)
Hida Oku: i'd still like to de-powder kuno's horse
Hantei Dave: me too
Hantei Dave: oku is still not there
Suzume Sousha: thought I think I started it :-)
Hantei Dave: 2 more rounds oku
Hida Oku: i think I had something to do with it
Hantei Dave: well look. none of this would have happened if
you guys didn't lie in the first place
Hida Oku: well, damed if you do, damed if you dont
Hantei Dave: :P
Hida Oku: SEE!
Hida Oku: that's what I was saying
Hantei Dave: The Ikoma looks troubled
Suzume Sousha: disguising ourseles is lying too is it not?
Suzume Sousha: we had to get keshijo through.
Suzume Sousha: I saw no other way but oh well.
Hantei Dave: "I will escort you back to the gate where I will
commit seppuku for my stupidity." he says
Hantei Dave: Do what I say!
Hida Oku: let's do that
Hantei Dave: "off your horses!"
Suzume Sousha: (I think we should wait for josh before we make
a move just in case if posible)
Hida Oku: let's go
Hida Oku: lag!
Keshijo: "I'm not Keshijo."
Keshijo: "You do not need to throw your life away."
Hantei Dave: kesh: he doesn't know that
Hantei Dave: he is justa bushi
Keshijo: That's why I'm telling him.
Hantei Dave: "QUIET LIERS!
Hantei Dave: "KEEP YOUR FORKED TONGUES IN"
Keshijo: "Calm yourself. There is no need for this."
Keshijo: "Keshijo does not walk among us."
Hantei Dave: "DO NOT GIVE ME ORDERS!" he roars.
"OFF YOUR HORSE NOW!"
Keshijo: "He felt the trouble he would cause would do more harm
than good."
Keshijo: "That is why I, Shinjoten, have taken up his burden."
Hantei Dave: "I SAID OFF!!!"
Keshijo: I get off the horse.
KibagamiKuno has left the room.
Hantei Dave: still no kuno
Hantei Dave: perhaps tonight is a wash
KibagamiKuno has left the room.
Hantei Dave: kuno has left more times then entered
Hida Oku: i guess you win this time, dave
Hantei Dave: hehehe....this one guy beat you all
Suzume Sousha: I invited him a few times and he jit says he come
and goes
KibagamiKuno has entered the room.
Keshijo: I rule!
Hantei Dave: pokes kuno
Suzume Sousha: wohoo
KibagamiKuno: ah, well kesh's invites are better than all yours.
Hantei Dave: poke?
Hantei Dave: nice purple
Suzume Sousha: yeah thats a nice color
Hantei Dave: ok, as a review josh
Hantei Dave: he has offered that you return to the gate where he
can kill himself
Hantei Dave: you must all dehorse
Hantei Dave: keshijo just dehorsed
Hantei Dave: anyone else? Sousha?
Hantei Dave: anyone here?
Suzume Sousha: I will dismount.
KibagamiKuno: i was already off
Hida Oku: i am off already
Suzume Sousha: safer that wy anyway
Hantei Dave: doing anything else?
KibagamiKuno: let's see, i'll say... umm...
Hantei Dave: he is pissed Kuno and doesn't care who is who
Hantei Dave: cause you travel with ninjas and lyers
Hantei Dave: and he knows his life is at risk
Hantei Dave: and honor
KibagamiKuno: "Our mission does not have time for you to
return to the gate. And were it mine to command, i would
forbid you from committing seppuku. But if your honor and
sense of balance is so confused as to leave you no recourse,
KibagamiKuno: do what you must"
KibagamiKuno: "alternatively,
Hantei Dave: "I do not need your permission!" he slashes his
own horse's neck."
Hida Oku: jeez
KibagamiKuno: You may choose to die in battle, and i will duel
with you."
Hantei Dave: points to shinjoten
KibagamiKuno: "That much dignity, i can offer."
Keshijo: "Was that necessary?"
Hantei Dave: "GIve me yours. Only a Daimyo can give me
permission to die in battle. You are no samurai."
Keshijo: "A perfectly good horse. Why waste it?"
Hantei Dave: it was hurting
Hantei Dave: and kuno and him need to roll again btw
Hantei Dave: kuno's horse is lying down now also
Hida Oku: I go to it
Hida Oku: when I can
Hantei Dave: ok Oku
Hantei Dave: you can
KibagamiKuno: "you would have attacked me a moment ago
and died the same. Seppuku or face me. Your choice.":
Hantei Dave: he wants shinjoten's horse
Keshijo: "I am a ronin. I may not be as noble as you but I am a
Samurai."
Hantei Dave: he snears
Keshijo: "My horse is mine."
KibagamiKuno: dave - powder: 24.
KibagamiKuno: initiative again?
Hantei Dave: "You wounded my horse so now I take yours."
KibagamiKuno: i'm about to kill him.
Keshijo: "I did not wound your horse."
Keshijo: "You are mistaken."
Hantei Dave: he failed...he starts sweating harder and scratching
Hantei Dave: he starts twitching
Hantei Dave: "Dishonorable!!"
Hantei Dave: "The bearers are evil!"
Hantei Dave: he takes a step back
Hantei Dave: inits all
Keshijo: Combat sense?
Hida Oku: 24
Suzume Sousha: 24
KibagamiKuno: "what a waste. as your horse, fool." - 42.
Hantei Dave: 26 yes Kesh
Keshijo: 29
Hantei Dave: Oku and Keshijo declare
Hida Oku: I will wash off Kuno's horse
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: Oku is washing down the horse
Hantei Dave: Sousha?
Suzume Sousha: STanding with my horse at the moment.
Suzume Sousha: I will let him die honrably in a duel
Hantei Dave: umm...he is scratching with poison
KibagamiKuno: (domo)
KibagamiKuno: (this isn't a duel anymore, it's now a mercy killing
like his horse)
Hantei Dave: He shifts his armor
Hantei Dave: and doesn't attack
Hantei Dave: he sweats more
Hantei Dave: keshijo?
Keshijo: hmm..
Keshijo: "There is no need for this. Keshijo is not here. It was
wrong for us to not show the Tantos.
Hantei Dave: (too late for this kesh...heheh)
Keshijo: but we have been attacked too many times and our
mission is too important for unneeded risk."
Keshijo: (But I'm stubborn... I have to keep going)
Hantei Dave: (spoken like a true scorp)
Keshijo: (And I hate wasting lives)
Hantei Dave: kuno then?
Keshijo: "Surely you can see that. We had another way to
travel."
Keshijo: "We simply used it."
Keshijo: "We actually are the Sparrow's escorts."
KibagamiKuno: "I am sorry, brother, know pain no more." - 38
to attack.
Keshijo: "Just as he is ours."
Hantei Dave: roll attack
Hantei Dave: he has a -6
KibagamiKuno: (that was the attack(
KibagamiKuno: )
Hida Oku: actually, he should be incapacitated, but
whatever
Hantei Dave: 29 dodge
Suzume Sousha: (what did that poison do?)
Hantei Dave: he is prone oku
KibagamiKuno: 33.
Suzume Sousha: (was it just itching?)
Hida Oku: maddening itching
KibagamiKuno: (damage)
Hantei Dave: damage
Hantei Dave: bad bad itching
Hantei Dave: damage? pokes the lagging josh
KibagamiKuno: 33
Suzume Sousha: ack. thats quite a bit.
Hantei Dave: he falls to a knee his intesstin half hanging out
Hantei Dave: he grabs at it and plunges his sword into the
ground
Hantei Dave: he snears up
Hantei Dave: roll itch again kuno
KibagamiKuno: 21
Hantei Dave: its gotton to you now
Hantei Dave: it it too hard to ignore
Hantei Dave: Kuno, its like fire, not itching
KibagamiKuno: aren't we mid-round here?
Hantei Dave: everyone else watched
Hantei Dave: ^_^
Hantei Dave: only you attacked
Hida Oku: not me, I'm washing
Hantei Dave: and oku washing
KibagamiKuno: oh, i was waiting for the ikoma to say something
other than snearing.
Suzume Sousha: (hopefully the person that through the poison
has an antidote)
Hantei Dave: no, he is waitingto die.
Hantei Dave: sousha: its called water
Suzume Sousha: (crap! lord knows we haven't bathed in a
while)
Hantei Dave: Kuno, you can't attack anymore.
Suzume Sousha: (good thing there is a river around)
Hantei Dave: its maddening
KibagamiKuno: how was oku washing (i.e. can i go jumo in the
river?)
Hida Oku: (dont worry soush, I carry antidote to almost all
my stuff)
Hantei Dave: back at the gate? lol
Hantei Dave: just wash yourself down kuno
KibagamiKuno: umm, we came a ways, didn't we?
Hida Oku: dude, we do have water
Hantei Dave: He slumps onto his head
Keshijo: I look away. "You make me sad Ikoma."
KibagamiKuno: right, i go wash madly.
Hantei Dave: someelse can help you out kuno ^_^
Hida Oku: and I keep extra anyway, for this occurence
Keshijo: I start digging a grave.
Hantei Dave: oku used all his on the horse
Suzume Sousha: I help kesh
Hantei Dave: with your fingers Keshijo?
Hida Oku: oh, I'm out then
KibagamiKuno: heh, i go wash.
Hantei Dave: u can use Kuno's water.
Keshijo: With the shovel I used back at the waterfall...
Hantei Dave: Kuno can't do much at all right now. Oku, help
him
Hida Oku: surely
Hantei Dave: this guy is still alive
Hida Oku: if he'll accept it
Hantei Dave: waters on his horse anyway I assume
Hantei Dave: just dump it over him
Hida Oku: yes
Hida Oku: am I done with the horse?
Hantei Dave: yes
KibagamiKuno: i'll accept it from anyone at this point.
Hantei Dave: the horse is panting heavy on its side
Hida Oku: I'll go finish off the samuri
Hantei Dave: Oku, feel free to slash away
Suzume Sousha: he's still alive? I thoght he died
Hantei Dave: sousha: still alive
Suzume Sousha: doh!
Keshijo: I did too...
Keshijo: That's why I started digging.
Keshijo: I would've tried to heal him...
Hida Oku: <slice>
Suzume Sousha: lol
KibagamiKuno: sorry, too much yellow powder to finish him off.
Suzume Sousha: that was perfect comedy
Hantei Dave: i don't think he wants healing
Hida Oku: too late now
KibagamiKuno: could have been red dust...
Hantei Dave: roll damage Oku
Hantei Dave: this guys had some left in him
Keshijo: I continue digging...
Hantei Dave: hehehe
KibagamiKuno: heheh
Hantei Dave: but the powder made him fairly useless
Hida Oku: 28
Hantei Dave: yeah...he's dead
Hantei Dave: blood squirts from the gash in back of his neck
Hida Oku: eh.
Hantei Dave: I assume someone washes off Kuno
Hida Oku: I'll help clean off kuno
Hantei Dave: who still feels the effects of the poison but can now
function
Hantei Dave: now all thats left of your sins is to dispose of the
body
Hantei Dave: how so?
Keshijo: Um.. the grave I dug?
Hantei Dave: oh, and everyone can make a bushido roll
Hantei Dave: please
Hantei Dave: and high society
Hantei Dave: if you have it
Hida Oku: 23
KibagamiKuno: 18
KibagamiKuno: no high society.
Suzume Sousha: 17
Hantei Dave: Oku, the sword in the ground signifies a battle not
finished.
Keshijo: Bushido: 19, No High Society.
Hantei Dave: it is not honorable to remove it except if you are a
direct family memeber
Hida Oku: well, it is now
Hida Oku: well, not the bigger battle
Hantei Dave: also, you all know the Emporer's rule. All bodies
must be cremated
Hantei Dave: lag
Suzume Sousha: (now he tells us after all the digging) :-)
Hida Oku has left the room.
KibagamiKuno: oh right, the ikoma and their lovely ancestor
worship...
Hantei Dave: sousha: a fire can be seen...especially now that it is
night
Keshijo: Yeah. That too. But that's why we have a pit now.
Suzume Sousha: (double doh)
Suzume Sousha: would still be viewable
Hantei Dave: yep
Hantei Dave: smoke and all
KibagamiKuno: any little towns nearby?
Hantei Dave: it would burn underground well into morning
Suzume Sousha: (I've done tests in the corps and you can see a
lighter for a LONG LONG ways away)
Hantei Dave: Kuno, villages only
Keshijo: "I will not leave a body dishonored."
KibagamiKuno: that'll suffice.
Hantei Dave: surrounding the Ikoma castle of course, you can
still keep a distance
Suzume Sousha: perhaps we cna bring the body with us till
morning.
Keshijo: "We burn him in the grave and mark it with his sword
and helmet."
Suzume Sousha: and then burn it in the day
KibagamiKuno: is there any reason there wouldn't be people
dying in those towns, or that they wouldn't have a fire?
Keshijo: "The pit will keep the fire from spreading and we can
keep moving."
Hida Oku has entered the room.
Hantei Dave: brian, invite raab please
Hida Oku: bavck
Hantei Dave: oh,nm
KibagamiKuno: hmm, wait a sec. it's night? Dig a pit, (or a
grave), put him in it and burn that.
Hantei Dave: touching the dead is also not a bushi's job
KibagamiKuno: I move him.
Hantei Dave: or digging a grave for that matter
KibagamiKuno: And i'll help dig the grave.
Hida Oku: I'll do it
KibagamiKuno: Death is as much a part of life as living and
swinging swords.
Hantei Dave: so you are burrying the body?
KibagamiKuno: nope, we're putting it in a hole and burning it,
since the smoke won't be seen at night.
Hantei Dave: don't forget, a samurai serves in death and life!
Hantei Dave: but it will in the morning
Suzume Sousha: (I guess we'll brun him and run :-))
KibagamiKuno: Burn him now, fill in the grave before morning.
Hantei Dave: so you are staying with the body?!
Hantei Dave: lol
KibagamiKuno: It's just getting dark now (because we should
have arrived at the castle by evening)
Hantei Dave: please make this MORE fun
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hida Oku: let's get out of here, idiots
Hantei Dave: you guys have now broken several rules
Hantei Dave: each of you
Hida Oku: and it all started with one little lie
KibagamiKuno: list them.
Hida Oku: hmmmm
Hantei Dave: lies, desicration, ninjaing, etc
Hida Oku: nothing new here, dave
Hantei Dave: lie = message
Hantei Dave: dishonoring
Suzume Sousha: true true
KibagamiKuno: dishonoring was his interpretation.
Hantei Dave: even the dead horse
Hantei Dave: or did you forget that ^_-
Suzume Sousha: which we will now beat
Keshijo: Lol
Hantei Dave: kuno: it will look that way to anyone that sees the
body
Hantei Dave: especially with the sword in the dirt
Hantei Dave: well, cover it all up however you want
Keshijo: Oku took the sword...
Suzume Sousha: by the time anyone sees it hopefully it won't
matter anymore
Hantei Dave: another desicration
KibagamiKuno: how long does it take a body to burn?
Hida Oku: yadda yadda
Hantei Dave: kuno: with a fire, i imagine it would still take awhile
Hida Oku: great idea... send up a signal flare
Hida Oku: now let's ride
Hantei Dave: maybe you guys should run
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Hantei Dave: lol
Hantei Dave: it looks like a bad situation all around
KibagamiKuno: ok, so we have two options, burn the body and
waste time and let people know where we are, or bury in a hole
in the woods with his sword.
Suzume Sousha: I'm for burning and running. we have already
done quite a bit of bad stuff tonight :-)
Hantei Dave: unless you can argue otherwise somehow
Keshijo: Is he burned/buried?
Hantei Dave: neither yet
Hantei Dave: just lying here
Keshijo: The body was be laid to rest with honor.
Keshijo: That goes without saying.
Hida Oku: i say we do neither and just run, but seeing as
that's not an option, I opt for burning
Keshijo: Burning and going is fine.
KibagamiKuno: kesh: apparently, according to the rule we hadn't
heard, we are required to burn the body these days
Hida Oku: (and running)
Hantei Dave: honor is a burning with family or soldiers present
KibagamiKuno: I'm a soldier.
Keshijo: I sniff for taint.
Hantei Dave: kuno: it was said long ago
Hantei Dave: back near game 2 or so
Keshijo: It was... I brought it up...
Hantei Dave: kesh: roll
Hantei Dave: anyway, i''m telling you now again
Keshijo: 18
KibagamiKuno: oh, well glad we've been burning bodies up till
now, lol.
Hantei Dave: it was a rule so zombies wouldn't attack
Hantei Dave: you sense nothing kesh, no luck
Hantei Dave: well, someone light it up
KibagamiKuno: so we burn it and leave - that's the plan?
Hida Oku: yep
Suzume Sousha: I like that plan
KibagamiKuno: ok
Keshijo: Yeah.
Keshijo: Wish we could do better, but...
Suzume Sousha: tight schedule
Hantei Dave: no one knows the tanto bearers are to blame
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hantei Dave: noone will ever know....
Hantei Dave: the perfect crime
KibagamiKuno: until they sort out who they sent their escort
with.
Suzume Sousha: (I dought that)
KibagamiKuno: then we can just lie some more.
Keshijo: Yeah, just an imaginary Sparrow and his weird escorts...
Hantei Dave: RUN!!!!
Hantei Dave: lol
Suzume Sousha: hehehe
Keshijo: Let's leave the lies to the Scorpion next time...
Hida Oku: ride, you mean
Keshijo: Yes, ride.
Hantei Dave: END THE TRAGEDY GAME!
Suzume Sousha: hehehee
Hantei Dave: unless you wanna see more
Hantei Dave: heheh
Hida Oku: onto the land of merrymaking
Hantei Dave: well, I'll let you guys in on something
Hida Oku: the CRAB lands
Suzume Sousha: and make believe
Hantei Dave: so you aren't too frustrated
Hantei Dave: i won't push this too far unless you are caught again
