 Hantei Dave: She is playing a ronin
Hantei Dave: I have given her adequet rational to be with you people...she just needs to introduce herself and you MUST accept her...she has a tonto
 Hantei Dave: Kuno and Keshijo have a guest
KibagamiKuno: fortune cookie?
KibagamiKuno: let's crack him open and see what's inside...
Togashi Udon: May i meet this guest, kuno-san?
Hida Oku: guest, or NOT hostage
KibagamiKuno: yes, our "not hostage"
Hantei Dave: Kuno: while Brians away the samurai will play
Hantei Dave: Skip: we will start when you feel we should
Togashi Udon: may i meet this not-hostage, kuno-san?
KibagamiKuno: actually, he is a guest. We saved him from a rather nasty fall and brought him back here for a nuce, rational discussion.
KibagamiKuno: nice, that is. not noose.
Hantei Dave: its about 6 am people
Togashi Udon: that is nice of you
Togashi Udon: kim is coming we can go
Hantei Dave: cool
Hantei Dave: waits for his hello
KibagamiKuno: May i bind our guest's hands with happy-string - for his own safety and good fortune, of course
Hantei Dave: kuno: of course....but hide him well
Hantei Dave: we is still "sleeping"
KibagamiKuno: hide him?
Hantei Dave: well, you can't walk around the city with your guest like that
Hida Oku: where am I, currently?
KibagamiKuno: ah, i see. Yes, so i shall tie a ribbon loosely around our guests wrists. Loose enough that his twist could release, but enough that he knows we wish him not to escape. Then I shall escort him back to our lodgings.
Hantei Dave: oku: in the geisha house
Hantei Dave: now with a guest and Keshijo and Kuno
Hida Oku: excellent
Hida Oku: they brough him back here?
Hida Oku: ... wonderful
Hantei Dave: apparently
Hantei Dave: heheh
Togashi Udon: me?
Hantei Dave: Udon: Keshijo goes and gets you
KibagamiKuno: doot dee doo... well, you're with the giesha anyway, hida-san
Hida Oku: "ok, fools, what happened?"
Hantei Dave: lol
KibagamiKuno: "too much sake, by your tone, hida-san. That or too much giesha".
Hantei Dave: kuno: care to explain?
Hantei Dave: (feel free to banter back and forth people)
KibagamiKuno: "If you ask how we have assisted the quest this evening, then I present you with a monk we met along our journeys. The samurai from earlier this evening is also re-dispatched"
Hida Oku: "the geisha wasn't enough for you kuno-san? You had to go and get this man, as well?"
Hida Oku: redispached?
Hida Oku: please explain
KibagamiKuno: "At the graveyard we found our adversary from the palace was resisting death. We assisted him in finding his proper place in the order of things. And yes, this monk has been as entertaining in his dances as the Geisha, though
KibagamiKuno: perhaps not as engaging as you found the geisha, upstairs on the tatami."
Togashi Udon: Greetings Keshijo-san, the early bird gets the worm that does not sleep the night.
Hida Oku: ah, it is good you dispatched him.. again. And this fool monk hindered you in the task?
Hantei Dave: here is a pic of your guest:
KibagamiKuno: "He made our evening more interesting, we believe he can enrich all of us with his plentiful knowledge"
Hantei Dave: http://www.geocities.com/hantei4/online/k_kamuso.jpg
Hantei Dave: he is begining to wake up
KibagamiKuno: (he still has that bucket on his head)
Suzume Sousha: curious . . . where the hell did that come from? Looks like it came from a good comedy
Hantei Dave: sousha: I added the words myself
Hantei Dave: Kuno: do you wish to say hello?
Suzume Sousha: ahh ok
Hantei Dave: everyone is here...san kim and rishard
Togashi Udon: oh, ok
Hantei Dave: in Kuno's room
Hantei Dave: monk: "Am I to die dishonorably? Kill me or let me go"
Togashi Udon: Greetings friend monk
KibagamiKuno: Welcome, monk whose name we do not know, it would be our honor if you would sit and speak with us for a while.
Hida Oku: "WHO ARE YOU?"
Hantei Dave: monk: "my coices are limited. Cut my bond and provide me one"
KibagamiKuno: (good cop bad cop?)
Hantei Dave: TUrns to Oku
Hida Oku: (whatever)
Togashi Udon: life is limited, friend
KibagamiKuno: (hd: provide him "one"?)
Hantei Dave: monk "I am one ready to denounce my family. I am one who fights for my own reasons"
KibagamiKuno: "and what reasons are those, perhaps we share a common goal?"
Hantei Dave: "call me Hino only"
Hida Oku: "What are your reasons?"
Togashi Udon: then live for your own as well, hino
Hida Oku: "do not make demands of us. .. hino"
Hantei Dave: Hino: "I have acted dishonorably and with you all as my witness I declare it not as part of a family or clan"
KibagamiKuno: dave: I call down for tea.
Hantei Dave: "I have come for the blade of the Pheonix"
Hantei Dave: Kuno: ok
KibagamiKuno: dave: who has the phoenix blade?
Hida Oku: "Was that your tainted samurai who attacked us?"
Hantei Dave: Keshijo has that blade
KibagamiKuno: "Are you of the phoenix clan that you seek their blade?"
Hida Oku: "SPEAK!"
KibagamiKuno: "and do you defy our emperor's decision that keshijo-san must carry that blade?"
Hantei Dave: I am of pheonix but as hostage I act on my own
Hantei Dave: "as you are my witnessess"
Hida Oku: "What do you know of the samurai my companians twice-dispached?"
Hantei Dave: "A fool Scorpion does not rightfully deserve the blade"
KibagamiKuno: "Hostage? Who are you hostage to? We bring you here as our guest, having prevented a dreadful fall from the trees. Please answer my question, do you defy our emperor's decision on the owners of the blades?"
Hida Oku: "well, we do agree there"
Hantei Dave: "The Pheonix samurai is an enemy as all who carry the taint are"
Hantei Dave: "I no not the wim of the Emperor but act for the good of all"
HabikkiL5R has entered the room.
Hantei Dave: YAY!!! HI KIM!
KibagamiKuno: "Then know you hear and now that the emperor has decreed that each of us carry the blade that fate has delivered to us. Do you still seek to bring the pheonix blade to your masters?"
Hantei Dave: everyone, this is Habiki. We will deal with her in a minute
KibagamiKuno: (err, here)
HabikkiL5R: hi
Hantei Dave: "and cannot I be fated to take the blade from Keshijo and carry it for my own?"
Hantei Dave: "I would gladly join your mission as a blade carrier"
Suzume Sousha: hey
Togashi Udon: false words
KibagamiKuno: "The emperor has decreed the fate of the blades, who are you to presume otherwise?!"
Hantei Dave: Keshijo stays silent
Hida Oku: "..feh"
Hantei Dave: "...and if Keshijo dies in battle who will be next to pick up the quest?"
Togashi Udon: Brave deeds may be forgotten, brave men never so
Hantei Dave: "let me free and I will bother you no more"
KibagamiKuno: "You stated on the field of battle that you sought the blade, whether Keshijo fell or not. Do you still carry that opinion?"
Hantei Dave: "I have done enough by killing the dishonorable Pheonic
Hantei Dave: Kuno: he answered b4 you asked
Togashi Udon: the price of greatness is paid by the great, but we all reap the benifit.
KibagamiKuno: (then my question is a followup)
KibagamiKuno: (it follows that way, too heheh)
Hantei Dave: "Kuno-sama. It is a choice you do not have. If my path permits it then yes. But all I need to do now is yell."
Togashi Udon: you have no claim
Togashi Udon: the blade did not chose you
Hantei Dave: "and dishonor awaits you too"
KibagamiKuno: I place my (regular) tanto on the table in front of him.
Hantei Dave: "and if I kill a man for his gold, did his gold not choose me?"
KibagamiKuno: "You made your choice before we began. Find your fate."
Togashi Udon: is it the gold of the Kami?
Hantei Dave: "I will leave you but others desire the same as I Kuno-sama."
Togashi Udon: for this is the tanto of the kamis
Hantei Dave: He holds up his bonds
KibagamiKuno: i slide them off.
Hida Oku: kuno..... fool!
Hida Oku: stay where you are, monk
Hantei Dave: He stands and leaves quielty...unless Oku wants to stop him
KibagamiKuno: dave, if he stands to leave i kill him.
Hantei Dave: He stops
Togashi Udon: (hey you didnt call me a fool this time, thanks!)
Hida Oku: heh
KibagamiKuno: he dies
Hida Oku: no, kuno
Hantei Dave: ok....he's dead
KibagamiKuno: he failed to commit seppuku, which he was ready to do when he began.
KibagamiKuno: he defied the emperor, and spoke that he would do so again if he could.
Hantei Dave: he acted dishonorably once so why not twice kuno
Hida Oku: Incompatant FOOLS. . .the lot of you
Hantei Dave: People: with you all as witnesses Kuno had full rights to kill this monk
KibagamiKuno: I take back the tanto.
Hantei Dave: but unless you want to be dishonored you cannot say he spoke for the pheonix
Hantei Dave: ok?
KibagamiKuno: ok
Hantei Dave: next order of business...Kim's character
Hida Oku: sheesh
Hantei Dave: Raab: I'm trying to move things along so we can get kim and rishard in
Hida Oku: ah.. ok
Hida Oku: off we go then
KibagamiKuno: (hida - what did you expect from a Lion?)
Hida Oku: (true... but now the room is all messy, and I hate mess)
Hantei Dave: Kuno: you can tell the people downstairs to get someone to clean up here
KibagamiKuno: I go down and provide them with funds to do so and to replace the tatami.
Hantei Dave: after a quick talk with the authorities, everything has been cleared
KibagamiKuno: They'll probably also want a spiritualist for the bad karma heheh
Hida Oku: so?
KibagamiKuno: where's the ronin?
Hantei Dave: Kuno: you witnessed death. Not good for you
Hantei Dave: you all leave for breakfast
Togashi Udon: hai
Hantei Dave: and are approached by a ronin (cue Kim)
Hantei Dave: Udon: that death thing was for you
Togashi Udon: (shit, i forgot)
Hantei Dave: you need to pray for transgressions
Togashi Udon: yes yes
Hantei Dave: Udon skips breakfast ^_-
Hantei Dave: lol
Togashi Udon: at the first oppertunity
 KibagamiKuno: I eat my pickled veggie & rice ball meal
Hantei Dave: Habikki approaches everyone eating
HabikkiL5R: hello everyone i am habikki (bows)
Hantei Dave: (except udon)
KibagamiKuno: (describe person who approached table)
Hantei Dave: describe her Kim
HabikkiL5R: female
Togashi Udon: (pray pray pray---gulp)
 Hantei Dave: Habikki is a ronin samurai-ko (female)
Hantei Dave: rest to follow ^_-
 KibagamiKuno: Stand, bow, introduce self: Kibagami Kuno.
HabikkiL5R: room for one more?
HabikkiL5R: bows and grins
Hantei Dave: no witty remarks Oku?
KibagamiKuno: (he's stunned speechless, so much woman in so little time...)
Hida Oku: Hibikki, join us... a voice from beyond tells me "you MUST join us"
HabikkiL5R: ok, it looks like i will be leaving...
Hantei Dave: (I think Oku is horny)
Hantei Dave: Keshijo asks "Why?"
HabikkiL5R: :-*
Suzume Sousha: LOL
Hida Oku: (the Dave god)
Hantei Dave: Habikki: Keshijo (brians character) wonders why you want to join
HabikkiL5R: i discreetly pull out my tanto
Hantei Dave: She pulls out Scorpion Tanto
KibagamiKuno: I sit down and make room.
Hantei Dave: Keshijo bows
Togashi Udon: (boy finding all the tanto's is gonna be easy!)
Hantei Dave: lol
KibagamiKuno: (they just come to us heheh)
Togashi Udon: (pray pray pray)
KibagamiKuno: (lol)
Hantei Dave: Guys, the big question over breakfast is where you want to travel first
Hantei Dave: Udon squeezes in too
KibagamiKuno: where did the emperor suggest we start?
Togashi Udon: where do i sit?
HabikkiL5R: i bow and squeeze in...does anyone else introduce themselves??
Hida Oku: ...great... another one
Togashi Udon: i stammer an introdiction
Hantei Dave: Where the tainted samurai originated
Hantei Dave: Pheonix lands Kuno
Hida Oku: welcome, Habikki... I am Hida Oku (Raab), an artist from the crab lands... recently exiled from the emperors court... angry glance upstairs at Udon
Togashi Udon: Udon-chan togashi Undo Udon, Habikki-samsama
KibagamiKuno: [munch munch munch]
HabikkiL5R: uh-hi (make expression wondering whats wrong with udon)
Togashi Udon: greetings oku-san, giggles
Hantei Dave: Habikki: Udon is a blushing monk
KibagamiKuno: i thought he was a tattooed monk and always was colorful...
Hantei Dave: not on his face...just naked body ^_-
Hantei Dave: any thoughts people?
Togashi Udon: i have had a visitor
Hantei Dave: says Udon
KibagamiKuno: [munch munch ... pause]
Togashi Udon: my clan wishs to give us advice on the path set before us
HabikkiL5R: do you guys know what we are supposed to do with this?
HabikkiL5R: these?
Hida Oku: to the phoenix lands, i think
Hantei Dave: (waitresses bring more water and rice)
KibagamiKuno: "We should send message to the emperor that the scorpion tanto has emerged and it's owner joined the quest."
Hida Oku: we find out what's going on up there
KibagamiKuno: agrees with Hida-san.
Togashi Udon: my clan also suggested that route Oku-san
Hida Oku: though his was fake anyway, Oku grumbles while stuffing some rice into his mouth
Hantei Dave: YOU ALL KNOW THAT YOUR QUEST IS TO FIND THE OTHER OWNERS OF THE TANTOS
KibagamiKuno: (the gods scream from above...)
Hantei Dave: just a reminder
KibagamiKuno: 1 down... rishard to go...
Suzume Sousha: :-)
Hantei Dave: someone give an opinion
KibagamiKuno: how many tantos are prophecied?
Togashi Udon: we can go to the dragon clan and then on to the pheonix
Hantei Dave: 9 Kuno
Togashi Udon: or visa versa
Hida Oku: well, thus far we've had 2 run-ins with the phoenix clan... we should investigate
KibagamiKuno: Why would we pursue the dragon clan when all signs point to the phoenix?
Togashi Udon: or wait here in this fabulous house for the others to arrive
KibagamiKuno: (that's a nice question, not an angry one)
KibagamiKuno: If there are others, they are as fated to find us as we are them.
Hantei Dave: well?
Hida Oku: and we gain nothing by sitting here (unless you count one of the lost tantos) so we should get moving!
KibagamiKuno: It does not matter where we go, but let us go to the phoenix and see what mysteries are revealed
Hantei Dave: mysteries indeed
Hida Oku: <dramatic music>
Hantei Dave: koto drums
Togashi Udon: perhaps we need to see opsticals as they truely are, not as they appear
Hantei Dave: a guy walks by the restaurant banging his koto drum
Suzume Sousha: playing dramatic music :-P
Togashi Udon: perhaps a drummer with a tanto?
Hida Oku: I intend go upstairs and start to pack. "Anyone coming?"
Hantei Dave: well, pheonix is north. Supposed to be cold up in those mountains
KibagamiKuno: togashi-san, we must pace all sides of them to see their true form. One side is to the phoenix, it will not hurt to travel that path first
KibagamiKuno: well, maybe just a little hurt... heheh
Togashi Udon: you are wise Kuno-sama, to the pheonix!
KibagamiKuno: [munch munch munch.] ready.
Hantei Dave: Keshijo finishes stuffing food under his mask
Hantei Dave: ..and points north
KibagamiKuno: (remind me to snap his mask one of these days...)
Hantei Dave: Habikki: you are blocking the table
Togashi Udon: i giggle and go to pack
Hida Oku: heh
KibagamiKuno: i LEAP over habikki in a stupid show of dexterity.
Hantei Dave: ok guys....without delaying further
Hantei Dave: you pack your stuff and go off opn the north bound road within a half hour
KibagamiKuno: [trudge trudge trudge]
Hantei Dave: what an ecclectic crew you are
Togashi Udon: (of course)
KibagamiKuno: (electric? ;-)
Hida Oku: <grumble, bitch, grumble>
KibagamiKuno: )
Suzume Sousha: :-)
Hantei Dave: this is a fairly busy road. Merchants and farmers travel from surrounding villages to Otosan Uchi and the outer towns
Hantei Dave: You are about to enter Crane province
Hantei Dave: well, Crane - Lion border more like
Hida Oku: heh... and I have their tanto
KibagamiKuno: <grumble bitch grumble>
KibagamiKuno: oh, that's better.
Togashi Udon: (i will walk with oku-san in hopes to raise his spirits)
Hantei Dave: The first major landmark you would reach is the Emerald Champion's castle, a Crane of course
Hantei Dave: but no need to go there
KibagamiKuno: I talk to Habikki-sama about the circumstances of her encountering the tanto
Togashi Udon: The Cranes are powerful...
Togashi Udon: I did not know...
Hantei Dave: in case people want food you can always of course stop a farmer moving his crops or stop at one of the MANY farming villiges you pass
Hantei Dave: much of this area is rice paddies
Hantei Dave: women are working the fields now planting the harvest and singing to the beat of a koto drummer
KibagamiKuno: "What a beautiful castle there in the distance. Obviously well protected by your Lion breathren, it looks like it hasn't seen a battle in all it's days"
Togashi Udon: (i entertain oku-san with stories of Shinsei)
Hantei Dave: Guys: 3 horsemen ride up to you FAST!
Togashi Udon: (stories we tell childern in the mountains)
Hantei Dave: They jump off their horses and prostatrate before you
Hantei Dave: all are Unicorn
Hantei Dave: "please forgive us"
Hida Oku: ah... hello, Unicorns
KibagamiKuno: <bow>
Togashi Udon: <bow LOW>
Hida Oku: "for what?"
Hantei Dave: "I am Shinjo Hamato"
Hantei Dave: "I have come to take the Unicorn Tanto"
Hantei Dave: He stares at Udon
Suzume Sousha: <more dramatic music>
KibagamiKuno: "Shinjo-san, then it is we who must apologize for we are ordered by the emperor to carry that blade."
Togashi Udon: Pehaps you have been mistaken? You may not have it, friend.
KibagamiKuno: "My apologies for your long trip in vain."
Hantei Dave: "I only ask for the honor of a duel. One day ago I heard a story of a bushi with one of the Legendary tantos."
Hida Oku: You may not have it, and we would fight to protect it, though it would disshearten me to do so, Hamato-san"
Hantei Dave: "He was being hunted and our trackers have confirmed this"
Hantei Dave: "You will not catch him on foot. He runs quickly as do his pursuers"
KibagamiKuno: "and you believe he carried the Unicorn Tanto"
Hantei Dave: "Take our horses. Try and save him. Then return our steeds. In return for our kindness I ask only the duel"
KibagamiKuno: ?
HabikkiL5R: sorry--i got a call from my grandma, sorry if i have ignored anyone
Hantei Dave: no...it is said he carries the SHadowlands tanto"
Hantei Dave: "We know the monk carries the Unicron blade"
Hida Oku: "ah! Then we must find him"
KibagamiKuno: We must find him, but not in this way.
Togashi Udon: I accept your duel. <bow>
Hantei Dave: "Arrigato"
KibagamiKuno: Togashi-san, wait. You may not accept the duel.
HabikkiL5R: children
Togashi Udon: but, why?
Hantei Dave: The unicorns turn there horses over to you
KibagamiKuno: You have sworn to the emperor that you will protect the tanto and carry it on this quest.
Hantei Dave: He stares at Kuno
KibagamiKuno: to accept the duel is to defy his orders.
Hantei Dave: But to allow the other member to get away is also a defiel
KibagamiKuno: We will find him, but not in this way.
Hantei Dave: it looks like a judgement call
Togashi Udon: We shall find him and see what the day brings?
Hantei Dave: "Please! Take the horses! Accept the duel!"
Hida Oku: "I agree. Honorable Shinjo, you would be most favored in the court if you were to help us, and let us continue on our quest as the emporer commanded it"
Hantei Dave: "In that case I cannot let you pass"
KibagamiKuno: Shinjo-san, if you offer us help freely to honor your emperor, only then can we accept.
Hida Oku: but we should accept the horses, anyway
Togashi Udon: I must not defy the Hantei-sama, Kuno-san has shown me the correct path
Hantei Dave: "I have come for the tanto"
Hida Oku: how about this... If Udon falls in the duel, then this Unicorn must join us in our quest
KibagamiKuno: "Then you choose the path of a traitor"
Hida Oku: hold kuno
Hantei Dave: the Shinjo hold too
KibagamiKuno: (not killing him yet...)
Togashi Udon: to duel for the tanto will be defying the emporor
Hida Oku: do you accept those terms?
Hantei Dave: The crowd is gathering around you all
Togashi Udon: how about we duel for my bodhai tree?
Hantei Dave: I cannot leave without the Tanto Udon-sama
Hantei Dave: Hamato bows
KibagamiKuno: "Then stay there in the mud, traitor. We will go around."
Hida Oku: Well, while we wait, the shadowland tanto moves further away from us
Hantei Dave: "We cannot let you pass"
Hida Oku: Udon, will you duel?
Togashi Udon: Hai.
KibagamiKuno: No. There will be no duel. There will be battle, or there will be peace.
Hantei Dave: He ignores Kuno and hands over the horses
Hantei Dave: "please forgive us"
Hida Oku: "KUNO, you hot-headed fool, these are honorable people, and this is Udon's desicion, not yours"
Togashi Udon: yes
KibagamiKuno: this decision does not belong to us, hida-san.
KibagamiKuno: It was made for us yesterday.
Hida Oku: But plaese know, Shinjo, that we can not let you leave with the tanto. You may posess it, but you mayy not leave.
Hantei Dave: oh, everyone make a perception roll
Hantei Dave: kim: perception+INT+3d6
KibagamiKuno: sight, sound, scent?
Hantei Dave: sight
Suzume Sousha: does that include me?
KibagamiKuno: 23
HabikkiL5R: 18
Togashi Udon: 18
Hida Oku: 24
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: you have the horsesw people
Hantei Dave: Hamato tells you where the bushi was running
KibagamiKuno: I do not know who you are, but by your actions you dishonor yourself and your clan, if you truly have one. We do not take these horses in exchange for a duel. We take them for you are dead.
Hantei Dave: bushi = samurai
Hida Oku: <whisper to Kuno>
KibagamiKuno: If the dead are still here when we return, I will see that they are returned swiftly to their fate.
Hantei Dave: who is on who's horse
Hantei Dave: none of you have riding
Hida Oku: Tell me, Shinjo-san... why is a unicorn so quick to give up their steeds?
Hantei Dave: "For the honor of the duel Oku-sama"
Hida Oku: a gift worthy of a Daimyo
Keshijo has left the room.
Hantei Dave: hm?
Hida Oku: There will be no duel, i think. . . and we will keep the tanto
Hantei Dave: trying to get brian in
Suzume Sousha: damn thats disgraceful :-) After u stole the horses too :-)
Hida Oku: no no... didn't accept the horses, yet
KibagamiKuno: we ride on the horses of the dishonored dead.
Keshijo has entered the room.
Hantei Dave: yay!
Keshijo: That's more like it.
Hantei Dave: full house
Hida Oku: ah, welcome
HabikkiL5R: i take a horse and continue
KibagamiKuno: They do not deserve horses.
Hantei Dave: ok, quick recap.
Togashi Udon: i will duel for my bodhai tree, and instruct Habikki to hold the tanto.
Hantei Dave: Keshijo: after dealing with the monk you travel north towards Pheonix lands
Hantei Dave: where 3 unicorn horsemen tell you of a tanto bearer who is hunted
KibagamiKuno: That is wise, Togashi-san. But i suspect there will not be anyone alive for you to duel.
Hantei Dave: you can use their horses in order for them to have a duel
Hantei Dave: everyone hop on a horse
HabikkiL5R: "i can take the tanto and fight for it, i have not givin my word to the emporer"
Hantei Dave: Habikki (Kim) is on one already
 Hantei Dave: anyone with her?
Keshijo: Are we all going north?
Hida Oku: "WHY DO YOU COVER YOUR MON WHEN YOU BOW?"
Hida Oku: "ANSWER NOW!"
KibagamiKuno: There won't be a duel - if they are still there when we return first there will be a battle. If anyone is left standing, then we can worry about duels.
Hida Oku: <never one for subtelties, the Hida>
Hantei Dave: Keshijo: you must race northwest now to save a member
KibagamiKuno: I thought we rode off already..
KibagamiKuno: .
Hida Oku: we did?
Hantei Dave: Hamato: "Please, valuable time is wasted"
Keshijo: I race northwest.
Hantei Dave: what horses are people on?
Hantei Dave: Kim is on 1
HabikkiL5R: i try
Hantei Dave: you all try
Hida Oku: wait, dave... did we leave the parley, or not?
Togashi Udon: i was not done either
Hantei Dave: Oku: I think you kinda did
Hantei Dave: oh
Hantei Dave: what did you want to say. Time is wasting
Hida Oku: what I said above
Togashi Udon: If you win my bodhai tree you may ask Habikki for a duel.
Hida Oku: WHY DO YOU COVER YOUR MON WHEN YOU BOW?"
Hida Oku: ANSWER!!
Hantei Dave: Again, he begs that you ride on
Keshijo: I would like to get on a horse.
Hantei Dave: keshijo on horse 2
KibagamiKuno: I get on horse 2
Hantei Dave: behind keshijo Kuno ^_-
KibagamiKuno: heh
HabikkiL5R: i have already continued on
Hantei Dave: Udon and Oku on horse 3
Hantei Dave: ride on
Hida Oku: ok
Keshijo: hai
Togashi Udon: hai
Hantei Dave: anyone with tracking skill?
Hida Oku: I have it
HabikkiL5R: unless someone wants to share a horse with me!
KibagamiKuno: tracking? what ever for?
Hantei Dave: You race for about 2 hours strait
Hantei Dave: Habikki: you are on your own
Hida Oku: I have tracking
Hantei Dave: Oku: roll
Hida Oku: 18
Hantei Dave: whew..you almost missed that
Hantei Dave: a person running Oku...fast
Hantei Dave: ....into Lion territory
KibagamiKuno: That way...
Hida Oku: "There!"
KibagamiKuno: (durr)
Hida Oku: points
Hantei Dave: He is attacked but you can't find the attacks steps
Hantei Dave: attacker steps
Hantei Dave: you continue
Hida Oku: ya

KibagamiKuno: how much did you spend on it?

Hantei Dave: kuno: roll
Hantei Dave: Keshijo whispers
Suzume Sousha: hmmmmm
HabikkiL5R: i bow
KibagamiKuno: 26
Hantei Dave: Kuno: not that you see
Keshijo: (Well, I was close enough to catch the arrow)
Hantei Dave: i know, I was adding to the writing brian ^_^
Suzume Sousha: <bows> Thank you for helping me. I am Yaiba Sousha of the Suzume house.
Keshijo: k
Hida Oku: <emerging from the woods> Hello, sparrow
Hantei Dave: Udon: you will need to pray today
Keshijo: Dave: Do the bushi have any clan markings?
KibagamiKuno: <bow> I am Kibagami Kuno of the Akodo, why are you hunted, Yaiba-san?
Keshijo: Or signs of Taint?
Hantei Dave: Yes. THe bushi are from the (bum bum bum) Falcon Clan
Hantei Dave: They have been pursuing Sousha for 2 and a half days
Hantei Dave: with their trained falcons
KibagamiKuno: (hmm. so the phoenix are bad. and the falcon are bad. what of the crane?)
Suzume Sousha: I'm not quite sure. I have been pursued for over 2 days by these falcons, and I have yet to discover who sent them or why.
Hida Oku: they're bad... just because they're crane
Hantei Dave: you can't say a clan is bad. There are people in the clan who you may not agree with
Togashi Udon: The falcon was doing as it was told. Much like your shurikens. Except these birds were flesh and breathed the same air as you. It is a small man that takes his anger out on an animal. A small man.
KibagamiKuno: there WERE people in the clan we don't agree with.
Hantei Dave: true
KibagamiKuno: we haven't met any that are still alive of those two clans that we continue to disagree with
Keshijo: Kuno, our list of allies grows short.
Togashi Udon: i turn my back and leave
Keshijo: Dave: Can I retrieve my humming bulb?
Hida Oku: Sousha-san... you have a tanto?
Hantei Dave: shorter soon enough
Hantei Dave: yes keshijo...and all shurikens
HabikkiL5R: can i get my shirukens
Keshijo: I let the others get their shurikens... :-)
KibagamiKuno: (i retrieve my naginare)
Hantei Dave: yes Habikki
Hantei Dave: all has quieted down
HabikkiL5R: i inspect the birds.
Keshijo: Do the Falcons have anything of use? Or is it against Bushido to scavenge from the bodies, even if they acted without honor?
Suzume Sousha: oku-san no disrespect intended to those that have saved my life, but what buisness is it to you?
Hantei Dave: Habikki: trained falcons...specially raised in the Falcon Clan probably
Hantei Dave: were beautiful birds
Hida Oku: I show my tanto
Keshijo: I meant the bushi, btw.
Hida Oku: we heard that you have one, as well
Hantei Dave: Keshijo: it is against ettiquette to inspect a body
HabikkiL5R: can i take some feathers?
Suzume Sousha: Perhaps I do, but I repeat the question. What buisness is it to you?
KibagamiKuno: Ronin, of course, aren't interested in that sort of thing.
Hantei Dave: Habikki: roll bushido
Keshijo: Do we need to bury them?
Hida Oku: We are on a quest to gather the 9 tanto
KibagamiKuno: "We are on a quest, as ordered by the emperor, to find the owners of the remaining tantos"
Hantei Dave: Habbiki bushido AV skill + 3d6
Hida Oku: it's not against ettiquette for a crab to search a body...
Hida Oku: I do so
HabikkiL5R: i dont have it
Hantei Dave: hehehe...dirty crab
Hantei Dave: you find some koku (money) and other things a bushi might have
Hida Oku: feh... the dead are worth the equiptment on their back
Hantei Dave: then -4 + 3d6
Suzume Sousha: Kuno-san ahhh. I was on my way to the emperor before I was attacked.
Hantei Dave: + int
Suzume Sousha: These birds have delayed me.
HabikkiL5R: 20
Hantei Dave: woa! nice roll
Hantei Dave: Habikki: you know very well that it is against samurai protocol to touch the dead
Hantei Dave: ...and even eat meat for that matter
KibagamiKuno: Unfortunately, i believe you have missed your appointment Sousha <laugh>, but you will be happy to know that the emperor decreed we were to remain the owners of our tantos so that we could fulfill this quest and our destiny.
KibagamiKuno: You are welcome to join us, I believe we share the same fate.
HabikkiL5R: oops, i was just kidding!
Keshijo: I go to find Udon.
Hantei Dave: whew....now we have everyone
Hantei Dave: everyone make a lore roll
Hida Oku: will you join us, Sousha?
Hida Oku: (for game sake, I hope so)
Hantei Dave: i can kill him easy anough oku
Hida Oku: heh... 3
Suzume Sousha: hmmmm. I have to ponder this matter. I have been given specific instructions to see the emperor. I know you saved me, but I don't think I can NOT GO TO the emperor upon his request.
