Hantei Dave: no prob. did you want to say something brian?
Hantei Dave: or keshijo
Keshijo: I want to hear what Shoju says first...
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: You arrive at the Emerald Throne
Hantei Dave: Shoju is sitting there...as steady as ever...like he doesn't need to
move
Keshijo: I bow
Togashi Udon: Bow
Hantei Dave: Kachiko is here as well
Hida Oku: <eye suspicously>
Hantei Dave: no bow Oku?
Suzume Sousha: bow
Hida Oku: no... no bow
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: Kuno?
Togashi Udon: (fyi, since i am already a target, i am not wearing a top, my
tattoos are displayed)
KibagamiKuno: bow
KibagamiKuno: (sorry, reading a japanese lesson)
Hantei Dave: Kachiko bows back
Hantei Dave: half bow
Hantei Dave: "Domo" says Shoju. I'm glad you came
Suzume Sousha: (is that to all of us or one person?)
Hantei Dave: "I have sent out 14 couriers to negotiate peace. 14 heads have
been returned"
Hantei Dave: all of you sousha
Hantei Dave: "The Crane and Lion are more alike then they care to admit"
Hantei Dave: "The Pheonix as well, have taken arms against me. Their
shugenga have arrived at astonishing speeds"
Hantei Dave: "This morning, the Unicorn have arrived, 3 days before I
expected"
Hantei Dave: "They have yet to declare loyalty"
KibagamiKuno: Shoju-san, i am surprised by the number of banners raised against you
- were the other clans not in agreement oof the needs of the prophecy, in advance?
Hantei Dave: "Kuno-san, in order to see our plans through, we could not
expect the others to agree before the deeds were done."
Hida Oku: needs of the prophecy. . . feh
Hantei Dave: "Only Togashi Yokuni knew of my plan...and he did not promise
his support. But he did not side against me."
Togashi Udon: Bow
Hantei Dave: (that;s the Dragon leader for all you gaijin)
KibagamiKuno: Shoju-san, i understand, but Hantei the 38th agreed to the needs of
the prophecy without anyone spelling out the details. [more]
KibagamiKuno: Hantei-sama knew the sacrifice he needed to make, but that would not
have been necessary to obtain the loyalties of the other clans in your cause against
the Evil One.
Hantei Dave: "As an Empire, we must stand as one or die as many"
Hida Oku: LET THE SCORPION SPEAK, KUNO... he will have his part to
fufill too
Keshijo: Fellow Tanto Bearers,I have read the scroll and know we have come
tosupport the proper side in this conflict. TheHantei's line was doomed to
be subverted, the Bayushisought to stop it.
Togashi Udon: "Belief in Prophacy gives it life."
Hantei Dave: Shoju bows his head slightly
KibagamiKuno: Keshijo, there is but one side in this conflict that we choose to take -
that against the evil one. There are no sides amongst clans.
Hida Oku: well, the Hanei's line hasn't ended, has it, Keshijo?
Hida Oku: (with a nod at Shoju)
Togashi Udon: (gulp)
Keshijo: Oku, the prince has escaped.
Hantei Dave: "Ie Oku. The prince was not found." says Shoju
Hantei Dave: "but he has also not revealed himself"
Keshijo: The scroll says: "Though the throne be destroyed, three emperors
willgive obeisance � the last a beast in the form of man.Fu Leng is his
name.
Suzume Sousha: Keshijo how was the Hantei's line doomed to be subverted?
Keshijo: The first will have nobleintentions, but his heart is led astray. The
secondwill hold the throne in good hands, but his reign willnot last beyond
his name.
Keshijo: The third will be called thelast of the Hantei and Fu Leng also."
Hida Oku: yes, I heard the prophesy as well as you
Keshijo: The first Hantei was the departed Hantei the 38th,whose heart was
led astray, proven to us with the faketanto of the Hantei.
Hida Oku: why have you called us, Shoju?
Suzume Sousha: interesting
Hantei Dave: Shoju says a prayer word for the Hatei
KibagamiKuno: before we proceed,
Hantei Dave: "I hope you may succeed where my own soldiers fail Oku"
Hida Oku: i see
Hantei Dave: "The Unicorn are undecided"
Hantei Dave: "I wish you to be my ambassedors of peace"
KibagamiKuno: Oku, we all swore to stand by Shoju in his fight against the evil one, i
have yet to hear that from you and, though i do not doubt where your loyalties
stand i think it best that we all be reassured.
Hida Oku: Know I will never take order from a Scorpion, and leave it
to the will of my clan to decide my duties
KibagamiKuno: And not the Hantei?
Keshijo: The second may be Bayushi Shoju. Though I do not think he will
Keshijo: take the name of Emperoror Hantei himself, as that may be enough
to stop thishorrible prophecy, though others will probably see himas taking
the throne for selfish reasons.
Hantei Dave: "Dear Oku-sama (respectful term)...I wish only peace with your
clan"
Hida Oku: no, not the Hantai
Togashi Udon: Or the Kami's?
Hida Oku: there is no Hantai
Keshijo: I believethe last of the Hantei may be the Prince. He is thelast of the
line and Fu Leng may corrupt him easilysince it will provide them both with
an avenue ofrevenge.
Hantei Dave: "Keshija-san, I choose not to be Emporer unless the will of
Rokugan accepts"
Togashi Udon: the tanto may have cut your strings, Oku-san. Perhaps you
should check.
Hantei Dave: "please understand this"
KibagamiKuno: Shoju-san, your case for peace amongst the clans may be easier if you
renounced all claim to the throne.
Hantei Dave: (just did Kuno) ^_-
Keshijo: Shoju-san, I would not think you would. It is the perception of the
other clans that worries me.
Hantei Dave: "and it is your voices that must change their perception"
Suzume Sousha: Where does this all leave our mission anyway?
Hida Oku: <feh>
Togashi Udon: you wish me to get us kicked out of each encampment?
Togashi Udon: hehehe
Hantei Dave: "Please, send my word to the Unicorn leaders"
KibagamiKuno: Udon, we would not send you back to Unicorn :-)
KibagamiKuno: (lol)
Keshijo: We must prove our loyalty, and Shoju's loyalty, to the rest of the
empire.
Hantei Dave: "You most of all Udon, may have the ability to convince them..."
Keshijo: brb. Being paged again...
Hantei Dave: "by your words and artfact"
Togashi Udon: For the Empire and the defeat of the dark lord.
Hantei Dave: artifact
Hantei Dave: "Please" says Kachiko. "I humbly beg" She prostrtes herself
before you
Togashi Udon: What say you fellow Tanto Bearers?
Hantei Dave: (this is most unheard of)
Hantei Dave: even embarresing to some
Suzume Sousha: hmmmm
Togashi Udon: For the Empire and the Defeat of the Dark Lord? Oh bye the
Kami's!! GET UP!!!
Togashi Udon: I start blushing
Togashi Udon: and stuttering
Togashi Udon: (so much for my speach)
KibagamiKuno: Shoju-san, our credibility may not yet be cemented amongst the clans,
and the Unicorn least of all. Perhaps a visit to Lion, first, would serve us all better.
Suzume Sousha: why do you say that?
Hantei Dave: "I fear that the Lion are stubborn in their resolve. I also fear that
time is running out for the Unicorn. If you so wish it, I will allow you to talk
with Tsuko-sama first though."
Hida Oku: if you want your head on a pole, Kuno
Hida Oku: I walk out
Hantei Dave: Brian needs to run out to work...he is on call....we will continue
Suzume Sousha: ok
Togashi Udon: ok, too bad
Hida Oku: ok
Togashi Udon: Oku, please--
KibagamiKuno: The crab wanders too much at the feet of the crane.
Hantei Dave: Brian says he should be back soon
Togashi Udon: allow us to be your clan
Togashi Udon: if that is what you need
Hantei Dave: waiting for Oku's response....
Hida Oku: FEET OF THE CRANE
KibagamiKuno: (oku left)
Hida Oku: ?
Hantei Dave: he WAS leaving
KibagamiKuno: (guess he didn't walk far out...)
Hida Oku: I didn't know that the Scorpoion was the head of the
clans!
Hantei Dave: Shoju rises
Togashi Udon: We must be united. We will not serve the Empire or the Kami's
if we are divided amongst ourselves
Hantei Dave: He walks closer to Oku
Hida Oku: or that you have so little faith in the leadership of your
own!
KibagamiKuno: I agree, I am united with this cause.
Hida Oku: I stare at him
Togashi Udon: me?
Togashi Udon: who?
Hida Oku: no, Shoju
Togashi Udon: sorry
Hantei Dave: "Know honorable Oku...I speak as a Rokugani." He drops to
one knee
Hantei Dave: uncomforable silence
KibagamiKuno: Please Shoju-san, we are all as equals
KibagamiKuno: None of us need lower themselves in front of another here.
KibagamiKuno: (looking at oku) none have asked any of us for that.
Hida Oku: Damn it!
Hida Oku: let's prepare
Hantei Dave: Shoju rises and returns to the throne
Hantei Dave: Kachiko rises
Togashi Udon: (gulp)
Hantei Dave: smile splayed across her face
Suzume Sousha: Shoju, before after the incident with the Hanei you said the tanto we
left was a fake. How was it that you knew of this?
Hida Oku: We all nkew Sousha
Hantei Dave: "For the reason a Scorpion wears a mask Sousha-san....'on'"
Hantei Dave: (you should all get ready now...unless any last minute
questions)
Hida Oku: Shoju, I will need some supplies
Hantei Dave: "Ask my generals Oku-sama"
Suzume Sousha: Do you know where the REAL one is?
KibagamiKuno: (making dinner - will be in-out for a few more min)
Hantei Dave: Shoju: "I have heard a whisper of a sighting in lower Crane
provinces, near the Daidoji dojo...but it seemed unconfimed"
Hantei Dave: "My attention is elsewhere"
Suzume Sousha: thank you shoju-sama. We may still have to locate this tanto. I'm
not sure where our quest leads now with all that has come to pass.
Hantei Dave: "Please return after speaking with a Clan leader"
Hida Oku: I leave
Togashi Udon: Please be here.
Togashi Udon: bow and turn to leave
KibagamiKuno: [bow]
Hantei Dave: Keshijo is last to leave
Hantei Dave: sooooo......Unicorn or Lion then?
Hantei Dave: oops...Josh here?
Hantei Dave: lag?
Togashi Udon: Unicorn---but if i duel them all the empire might be short a clan!
Suzume Sousha: what benefit would visiting the lion give us Kuno?
Suzume Sousha: lag?
Suzume Sousha: therer we go
Hantei Dave: hmm
Hantei Dave: ok...better
Hantei Dave: for now
KibagamiKuno: unicorn is fine
Hantei Dave: glad people are in agreement for once ^_-
Hida Oku: at least the unicorn are less likely to send us bad sans
bodies
Togashi Udon: can you just refreash the players memoriers about what there
characters know of the unicorn?
Hantei Dave: Well, it is late afternoon....the air is damp and death is in the air
Togashi Udon: calvelry right?
Togashi Udon: samuri-ko?
Hantei Dave: not many of you have had dealings with the Unicorn
Togashi Udon: ok
Hantei Dave: They are generally considered savage in many ways
KibagamiKuno: didn't we send a few of them home sans bodies?
Togashi Udon: oh, yippie
Hantei Dave: but also one of the richest clans...ammassed in their foreing
travels
Hantei Dave: foreign
Suzume Sousha: interesting
Hantei Dave: they wear animal skins and eat flesh
Suzume Sousha: So why are we headed to the unicorn as opposed to the lion?
Togashi Udon: oh boy...
Hantei Dave: but are highly perceptive
Hantei Dave: They have yet to raise their flag against the Scoprion Sousha
Suzume Sousha: ahhh yes thats right
Hantei Dave: and of course, they have the most valued items in
Rokugan...horses
KibagamiKuno: so they could be good for a quick escape (back now)
Suzume Sousha: Hopefully we will not piss them off and need to
Hantei Dave: ...and incidentally, it was Shinjo (the female Kama) who
defeated Hida in battle
Togashi Udon: i'll be good
Hantei Dave: :P
Hida Oku: yes
Togashi Udon: Toghashi didnt even fight...
Hantei Dave: Oku: what did you want?
Hantei Dave: item?
Suzume Sousha: wow!
KibagamiKuno: (oku - gunpowder! :-) )
Suzume Sousha: Shinjo defeated hida kisada?
Suzume Sousha: or a different hida?
Hantei Dave: not kisada....Hida, the first Crab and Kami
Suzume Sousha: ah ok.
Hantei Dave: who wants to go with Oku to get supplies?
KibagamiKuno: hai
Togashi Udon: i have my own things i must attend to.
Hantei Dave: oku, Kuno...what do you 2 want?
Suzume Sousha: I am to poor to get anything so I will just hang around a mooch.
Hantei Dave: they will supply you sousha
KibagamiKuno: food, replenish sword/armor repair kit, fresh brush, large farmers hat.
Suzume Sousha: woohoo . . . wellfare at work
Hida Oku: smoke screens
Hantei Dave: Kuno: done
Hida Oku: climbing gear
Suzume Sousha: I would like some torches (finally) and rope.
Hantei Dave: Oku: The captain stops....
KibagamiKuno: i leave
Hantei Dave: we have smoke bombs Crab
KibagamiKuno: (domo)
Hantei Dave: He gives you 3
Hida Oku: I have the authority of your daimyo.... follow your orders
Hantei Dave: with a sharp stare
KibagamiKuno: (heh and glad i did before that was blurted out heheh - off to fetch a
bit more statue and my gear before we go)
Hida Oku: Kyotrtsu-shoge
Hantei Dave: ok....everyone ready to leave the palace?
Suzume Sousha: I would also like to request the best sword that they have if they are
just giving stuff away :-)
Hantei Dave: Sousha: they give you a sword comparible to your own...to steal
a better sword is not a bushi's honor make
KibagamiKuno: (kyoketsu)
Hantei Dave: soooo...everyone ready?
KibagamiKuno: hai
Suzume Sousha: I take the sword for now. I might be able to sell it later when
needed.
Hantei Dave: you all have full hits, ki focus,etc
Hantei Dave: hehheeheh
Togashi Udon: hai, i've got my bodhai tree too!
Hantei Dave: I was wondering if you were gonna take that
Hantei Dave: ^_^
KibagamiKuno: you should get that tatooed on you, udon, then you wouldn't need to
carry it everywhere
Hantei Dave: ready Oku?
KibagamiKuno: (like the Professional)
Togashi Udon: (least they could put my head in the pot)
Hida Oku: yes
Hida Oku: let's go
Togashi Udon: (kuno---lol hahahahahahah!!!)
Hantei Dave: ok....they announce your exit to the armies waiting outside
Hantei Dave: You must pass through 2 more gates
Togashi Udon: (still displaying the tatts)
Hantei Dave: One Bayushi house guard says as you pass by, "Good luck, they
always attack when we open the last gate."
Hantei Dave: They announce at the last gate
Hantei Dave: "The Tanto Bearers are leaving Otosan Uchi!!!"
Hantei Dave: The final gate opens
Hida Oku: I walk out
Togashi Udon: i follow
Suzume Sousha: I follow
KibagamiKuno: I walk toward the lion mass.
Hantei Dave: There is a line of Lion bushi impeding any view...but a path is cut
Hantei Dave: You are walking through them Kuno
Hantei Dave: it is dead silent
KibagamiKuno: Does the line have a captain?
Hantei Dave: the sun is setting to a blood sky
Hantei Dave: You can see Chui's (captains of units)
KibagamiKuno: (in the line i mean)
Hantei Dave: yes, it isn't so much a line as it is a mosh pit at a standstill
Hantei Dave: all swords are drawn
KibagamiKuno: I stop for a moment in front of the captain and face him for a
moment, before moving on
Hantei Dave: He whispers "traiter"
Suzume Sousha: looks like we don't have to visit the lion after all
Hida Oku: <chuckle>
Hantei Dave: Kuno whispers something but none of you can hear
Hantei Dave: Keshijo IS with you btw
Hantei Dave: you can continue walking towards the Unicorn encamplment
Hantei Dave: ....slowly
Hida Oku: i do
Togashi Udon: follow
Suzume Sousha: same
Hantei Dave: you have about a person width in your path
Hantei Dave: then it finally opens up a bit
Hantei Dave: after about 15 mimuntes of walking through Lion bushi
Suzume Sousha: sighs relief
Hantei Dave: the army is even bigger from down here it seems
Togashi Udon: Sousha, dont worry, kuno could have taken em
Hantei Dave: You can see the Unicorn tents and army
Hantei Dave: heheh
KibagamiKuno: we just walked by 15 minutes of Kuno's... that would have taken a
while.
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Suzume Sousha: :-)
Hantei Dave: A command tent is set up and seems to be expecting you
Hantei Dave: You can see a number of officials (judging by their armor and
horses)
Hantei Dave: you get to them in another 5 minutes
Suzume Sousha: kuno, do you recognise any of them?
Hantei Dave: A circle of unicorn surround you (20 ft diameter)
KibagamiKuno: (they are unicorn, why would i know them?)
Suzume Sousha: ooops. Must have missed that
Hantei Dave: 5 Unicorns in front of the command tent are on horseback
(leaders)
Togashi Udon: I would sugesst that whenever we are in an encampment of a
clan, the tanto bearer with that clans tanto should be flanked by the
others...so protect me!
Hida Oku: they are not dishonorable
Hantei Dave: it is obvious who is the Daimyo
Togashi Udon: Oku, 3 attacked us alreay...
KibagamiKuno: (he remembers, udon, he ran away)
Hantei Dave: He wears his purple and gold regally...but he still looks
barbarian in many ways with his long mostache
Hida Oku: heh
Togashi Udon: dispite Hantei-sama's command.
Hantei Dave: for pic
Hantei Dave: next to him is a beatiful battle maiden with dark hair and a strong
fire in her gaze
KibagamiKuno: have reached a parleying distance yet?
Hantei Dave: oh yes
Hida Oku: anyone want to speak, or are you going to leave it to Oku?
Hantei Dave: The Daimyo waits
Hida Oku: :-)
KibagamiKuno: bow to the daimyo. bow gain to the dark haired lady
Togashi Udon: bow
Hida Oku: bow
Suzume Sousha: I bow as well and eye the beautiful maiden
Hantei Dave: keshijo....bows slightly
Hantei Dave: Sousha: she too wears skins and sits on a strap of skin
Hida Oku: (Sousha, are you crazy?)
KibagamiKuno: Greetings, most honorable Yokatsu-san
Hantei Dave: (they smell funny...all of them)
Hantei Dave: Girl: "Are you his equal now?"
Suzume Sousha: (just looking. no harm in that (for the most part))
Hantei Dave: another on horseback: "Refer to my father, as sama"
KibagamiKuno: Yakatsu-sama, we have come to bear tidings of the recent events, in
order that you may know of the details that may or may not have been born out yet
Hantei Dave: Yokatsu "............yes?"
KibagamiKuno: (anyone else picking up from there or should i continue?)
KibagamiKuno: (ok then)
Suzume Sousha: continue
Hantei Dave: Yokatsu smiles
Suzume Sousha: you do such a good job
Hantei Dave: pleasantly
Hantei Dave: yeah...he only messed up once now
KibagamiKuno: Hantei the 38th, may he forever be blessed and honored, commanded
that we fight a battle against the Evil One.
Hida Oku: ok.... cut to the point, kuno
Hantei Dave: "He.......commanded?"
Hantei Dave: he smiles wider
KibagamiKuno: Hai, Yokatsu-sama.
Hida Oku: hida buts in and tells him about the prophesy
Hantei Dave: Oku begins ranting
KibagamiKuno: I pause and let Oku rant
Hantei Dave: Yokatsu waits patiently
Hida Oku: talk about the prophesy... the events that transpired
Togashi Udon: Watches the steam pour from Oku's ears
Hantei Dave: you finish. Anyone want to add anything?
Hantei Dave: Keshijo says nothing
KibagamiKuno: We come to you seeking a truce in the matter of emperor of Rokugan
Hida Oku: oh, and that I await my orders from my clan
Hantei Dave: a moment of silent passes
KibagamiKuno: Shoju-sama, who makes no claim to the throne
KibagamiKuno: has asked that we all
KibagamiKuno: join together, all clans, in this fight against the Evil One
Togashi Udon: The Empire needs an Emperor. Shoju does not wish to claim
the throne unless the Empire wills it.
Hantei Dave: "Now he asks?"
Hantei Dave: says Yokatsu
Hida Oku: Shujo is a fool
Hantei Dave: Yasumura smiles now
KibagamiKuno: (Oku speaks quickly, he said the same of Hantei-sama)
Hantei Dave: the other one...oops
Suzume Sousha: SHujo knew of the prophecy and felt this was the only way. I dont'
know if I agree with him however.
Hantei Dave: Yokatsu: "My son says you are confused."
Hantei Dave: "you have told us a wonderful story Hida-san"
Suzume Sousha: (are we out of hearing distance of his son)?
Hantei Dave: no sousha...you are...surrounded
KibagamiKuno: Yasamura-sama, Yokatsu-sama, based on this prophecy that has
already begun to come true, we must fight the Evil one before the throne can be
reclaimed, for it is He that would reclaim it.
Hida Oku: thank you
Suzume Sousha: (ok just checking)
Hantei Dave: girl: "Fairy tales!!! They speak in children's stories!"
Hantei Dave: Yokatsu: "This is Otaku Kamoko, Daimyo of the Battle Maidens."
KibagamiKuno: [bow to her again]
Hantei Dave: "Why should we trust children's tales?" says yokatsu
Hida Oku: <bow> My lady, you of all should know that the prophecies
of the Dark One are not just stories
Togashi Udon: We will fight He-who-should-not-be-named. We cannot allow
the dark one to gain the throne.
KibagamiKuno: Kamoko-sama, were it not for fairy tales, none of us would believe
that the Unicorn tanto was real
Hida Oku: we share a bond in that knowledge
Suzume Sousha: (I feel like I'm in harry potter all of a sudden)
Hantei Dave: Yokatsu: "Ah, the tanto's. You are fairy tales!"
KibagamiKuno: Udon-san, please show the tanto
Togashi Udon: I do
KibagamiKuno: (they already know you've got it)
Hantei Dave: "I will ask differently. Why do YOU belive in these stories?"
Hantei Dave: asking everyone
Hantei Dave: "I want to believe too"
Hida Oku: I have seen the dark Yokatsu-sama, and know the terrors
that await the empire should this prophesy be unleashed
KibagamiKuno: For us there comes a time when the coincidences are too frequent.
When the stories bear themselves out
Hida Oku: as do you
Suzume Sousha: For me, a stumbled upon a Shadownlands Tanto in the middle of my
land. It has to be a sign. The prhopesies must be true.
KibagamiKuno: Even were they not true, we would fight the Evil One. This only
reinforces this truth for us.
Togashi Udon: The tao says that each person has one role in life and that they
can not do any more or any less then that role. that is destiny. that is
prophacy. i believe in fate and the will of the kamis.
Hida Oku: lol
Suzume Sousha: :-)
Hida Oku: all at once, then
Suzume Sousha: (he asked for all and we gave him just that)
KibagamiKuno: ("believe" "believe" "believe")
Hantei Dave: "I see. Faith is a powerful tool. Aye Udon-san? And do you
place your faith in the Kami's that have granted you your weapons?"
Togashi Udon: i do.
Hantei Dave: "Show me faith. If you can show me faith, I will side with you."
KibagamiKuno: Yokatsu-sama, i am akodo and for me, faith is in the steel at my side.
And yet even I now believe in this prophecy.
Hantei Dave: He makes a gesture
Hantei Dave: 5 HUGE Moto house guards step forward
Togashi Udon: i hand him the unicorn tanto with the blade pointing towards my
heart.
Togashi Udon: my aith is i us all.
Togashi Udon: faith
KibagamiKuno: Udon, i don't think you can reach him through the Moto
Hantei Dave: "That is not neccessary Udon."
Togashi Udon: in
Hantei Dave: one sec all
KibagamiKuno: (besides, what have we told you about carrying blades around near
important people?)
Hantei Dave: Yokatsu says, "I belive you Udon-san. But you may have been
trying to bluff me."
Hantei Dave: "I have a proposition
Togashi Udon: I do not lie.
Hantei Dave: and we will test that now Udon-san
Togashi Udon: (nod)
Hantei Dave: He motions to his Moto guards again
Hantei Dave: one draws a no-dachi (giant sword), another an ono (long axe),
another ....
Togashi Udon: (smile)
Hantei Dave: a yari (spear), the other a tetsubo (long club)
Hantei Dave: ..and last a naginita
Hantei Dave: "If you can defeat my guards with faith alone....only your little
tantos then you have my help"
Hantei Dave: "you can draw your other weapons at anytime"
Hantei Dave: "or surrender and you can go"
Hantei Dave: "at any time"
Hida Oku: <sigh>
Hida Oku: pull blade
Hantei Dave: "unless the moment takes my Moto guards"
Hida Oku: this is a worthless waste of life
Suzume Sousha: (hopefully it won't be yours)
Hida Oku: we'll see
Hantei Dave: no other weapons can be used"
KibagamiKuno: (dave, does he WANT us to use the tantos, or just nothing but the
tantos, to be successful?)
Hida Oku: it may be
KibagamiKuno: (does that include our hands?)
Hantei Dave: "still believe in faith?"
Togashi Udon: of course.
Hantei Dave: "You hands are fine Kuno-san"
Hida Oku: I belive in my clan, but I will protect myself...
Hantei Dave: Udon drops ALL his weapns
KibagamiKuno: Hai, Yokatsu-sama - faith protects us, with and without the tantos.
Togashi Udon: put my hands together
KibagamiKuno: (place weapons on the ground, a suitable distance away)
Hantei Dave: each of you pick a moto...named by weapon
KibagamiKuno: (keep the tanto around, just in case)
Suzume Sousha: Does the same
Hantei Dave: kuno, sousha: holding tantos?
KibagamiKuno: no
Suzume Sousha: Hmmmm hold on sec . .. let me check something
KibagamiKuno: but two of them hold swords.
KibagamiKuno: I choose one of them. Probably no-dachi.
Hantei Dave: one holds sword
Hida Oku: tetsubo, should he advance
Hantei Dave: no-dachi
Hida Oku: to attack
KibagamiKuno: naginata, one nodachi.
Hantei Dave: you all line up
Hantei Dave: naginata is more like a spear
Hantei Dave: but ok
Hantei Dave: lemme write this down
Suzume Sousha: hold on a sec. .. . not sure if I'm holding tanto or not
Suzume Sousha: what skill would I have for hand to hand?
Hida Oku: also, "I will not use the crane blade"
Hantei Dave: you pick sousha
Suzume Sousha: would it be martial arts or something?
Hantei Dave: jujitsu sousha
Suzume Sousha: ok
Hantei Dave: who do you face Udon?
Hantei Dave: and sousha?
Suzume Sousha: crap I hold my tanto
Hantei Dave: there is the yari, the naginata, and ono left
Togashi Udon: Yokatsu
KibagamiKuno: void the dude in front of me
Hantei Dave: the yari faces you Udon
Hantei Dave: one sec kuno
Suzume Sousha: the guy with the axe
Togashi Udon: thats nice
Hantei Dave: sousha: his name is Ono
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Suzume Sousha: ok
Hantei Dave: Yokatsu says, "If you die, faith has failed you...."

Suzume Sousha: :-)
Hantei Dave: and the tantos belong to us
KibagamiKuno: see, and i just was gonna say "hopefully oku and i won't kill each
other"
Hantei Dave: "Udon-san, I suggest you face your killer."
Hantei Dave: Keshijo is against the naginata
Togashi Udon: death can find me where ever i face
KibagamiKuno: (fyi - all - barbarians might not have the same ideas of honor as we're
used to)

Hantei Dave: You all look at Udon
Hantei Dave: His hands are clasped in prayer position
Hantei Dave: and he shows no sign of battle aura
Hantei Dave: it....affects your will to battle...
Hantei Dave: but duty will prevail if you choose....at -4 to attack rolls and -4 to
damages
Hantei Dave: you all hold back for now
Hantei Dave: as do the Unicorns
Hantei Dave: "You bravery is admirable monk...but it won't save you."
Suzume Sousha: who said that?
KibagamiKuno: i'm rather confused - what's going on?
Hantei Dave: Yokatsu
Hantei Dave: Kuno: a wave of peace passed over you
Hantei Dave: roll inits all
Suzume Sousha: kuno apparently udon is going to show his faith by praying
KibagamiKuno: so we are les likely to hit, but will take less damage, got it.

he's now got his weight on), then i roll him toward the other side. With him pushing
forward
KibagamiKuno: that puts him flat on his back
KibagamiKuno: and i think he needs a strength roll to put himself on his back, he did
all the work afterall

dodge

Hantei Dave: "...and give mention to ...your....faith in Shoju."
Hantei Dave: Kamoko: "FOOLS!!!!!
Hantei Dave: Kamoko rides off
Hantei Dave: Yasumura begins getting healers for his Moto
KibagamiKuno: Yokatsu-sama, we thank you for remaining neutral should an interclan
fight emerge, when the fight turns to battle the evil one, will you stand by us?
Togashi Udon: (i would like to heal them once i am done)
Hantei Dave: "Yes Kuno. The Unicorn will always fight evil. And you have
shown us....in a small way, where that evil is not."
Hantei Dave: Udon: (once per day)
KibagamiKuno: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to show you our faith.

Suzume Sousha: *feels eyes gaze his way*
KibagamiKuno: you look pretty dead even now, sousha... heheh

Togashi Udon: (yell at your bro)
Hantei Dave: The Lion again part....now whispering words of your cowardess
Hantei Dave: you must be running from battle they say
Hantei Dave: back to your masters!
Keshijo: We are walking in triumph.
Hantei Dave: the gates open
Hantei Dave: You are told to meet Shoju in 2 hours...something has come up
Togashi Udon: ok
Keshijo: hai
Hantei Dave: They offer to bandage you up Oku and Sousha
Hantei Dave: do you let them Oku?
Suzume Sousha: I gladly accept
Hida Oku: yeah, of course
Hida Oku: I vented
KibagamiKuno: heheh
Togashi Udon: Oku, the Volcano.
Hantei Dave: They tell you that you must wait until tomarrow for healers
Suzume Sousha: okey doke
Hantei Dave: I take it you all rest for a few hours?
Togashi Udon: yes...pray if possible
Suzume Sousha: yup
Keshijo: hai
Hantei Dave: after about an hour, you hear whispers that the Dragon are
arriving
KibagamiKuno: write some poetry about the battle
Hantei Dave: much earlier than expected too
Togashi Udon: wow, that was fast
Hantei Dave: seems everyone is on the ball
Hantei Dave: or Shoju underestimated the other clans
Togashi Udon: lag?
Hantei Dave: anyone want to do anything for the next hour?
Hantei Dave: b4 Shoju?
Togashi Udon: yes...pray if possible
Hantei Dave: no problem udon
Hantei Dave: ok...
Keshijo: I's like to go for a stroll
Hantei Dave: anywhere in particular?
Keshijo: To look over the walls.
Hantei Dave: You see the arrival of the Dragon army. They haven't even set up
camps yet
Keshijo: I watch for a while.
Hantei Dave: a green and gold line of samurai march over hills
Hantei Dave: no banner has been raised yet
KibagamiKuno: the blade reaches far
KibagamiKuno: too far, pull him to his knee
KibagamiKuno: under over back
KibagamiKuno: Fall hard when pushing too fast
KibagamiKuno: my tanto is at his throat
Hantei Dave: time for SHoju.....then we will see who wants to keepgoing
Togashi Udon: hai
KibagamiKuno: :-)
Hantei Dave: You are shown to the Elmerald Throne again
Keshijo: hai
Hantei Dave: Shoju greets you as you enter
Hantei Dave: "Domo friends. You have won us a great victory."
Hantei Dave: "With the combined effort of the Unicorn, Dragon, and Crab....we
will surely win."
KibagamiKuno: (fyi - that was tanka)
Togashi Udon: The Unicorn will not raise thier flag against you.
Hantei Dave: "The unicorn have begun putting out fires. Unfortunatly, the
Crane have now diverted more attention to the attack since they can stop
that duty."
Togashi Udon: They will not support you, yet either.
Hantei Dave: "No matter. It is a great symbol of victory for us."
KibagamiKuno: Shoju-san - what victory is there when clans fight? Our goal must be
a complete truce amongst all, with the new objective to stop the evil one
Togashi Udon: Hai, Kuno-san is right.
Hantei Dave: "There will be Kuno-san...once the Dragon and Crab join as
well. They can't be ignored."
Togashi Udon: Have the Dragon given you thier alligance?
KibagamiKuno: None of us wish to fight our brothers, an alliance amongst all must be
fought so that we can all fight at each others side
Keshijo: We are all in agreement. War will only help Fu-Leng. We must
prevent it.
Hantei Dave: "The combined weight will force the Lion, Pheonix, and Crane to
rethink."
KibagamiKuno: (sought, not fought)
Hantei Dave: "What else would you suggest friends?"
KibagamiKuno: We must provide the Lion and Crane with an honorable "out" so that
they can save face by joining us in the fight against the evil one
Hantei Dave: how so Kuno-san?
KibagamiKuno: they consider us an enemy, but we consider them an ally that does
not yet understand. We must provide them with a politcally acceptable way to
"understand" and avoid war,
Hantei Dave: "Just the presence of the Dragon and Crab on our side will
show them their errors"
KibagamiKuno: since you do not seek the throne, they can perhaps be persuaded not
to try to defend it from you
Hantei Dave: "They will join us Kuno-san....with your help"
Hantei Dave: "Please continue"
KibagamiKuno: I hope so, Shujo-sama, but a show of force on our side will not
convince them to join us, only make them more wary of attacking us
KibagamiKuno: we must help them find a way to switch sides.
Keshijo: We can swim. We have no need to show force.
Hantei Dave: We must defend the palace. I cannot let my own Clan die ....
KibagamiKuno: they will want to, with the force we have assembled, but they must
have a reason to present to others.
Hantei Dave: The doors bang open
Hantei Dave: Shoju's brother, Aromoro runs in
Hantei Dave: He runs up and kneels in front of Shoju
Hantei Dave: Shoju-sama....guests from the Dragon have arrived....they
insisted on an audience
Hantei Dave: ...now
Hantei Dave: Shoju: "....here?....."
Hantei Dave: Eight people walk in, 7 men, 1 woman
KibagamiKuno: Shoju-sama, if i may offer humble wisdom - a chair may grow
comfortable, but we have a greater destiny to fulfill.
Hantei Dave: all Ise Zumi
Togashi Udon: Bow LOW
KibagamiKuno: bow (regular)
Keshijo: bow
Hantei Dave: The center themselves confidently near the door and kneel on
one knee
Hantei Dave: Udon: you recognize the center one...Togashi Mitsu
Suzume Sousha: bow
Togashi Udon: Nod
Hantei Dave: Mitsu: "Greetings from the Dragon sama's. Togashi Yokuni
sends his welcome"
Hantei Dave: "He eagerly awaits discussions...."
Hantei Dave: Shoju rises
Hantei Dave: "I would be honored to accept Toga..."
Keshijo: I get ready for anything...
Hantei Dave: Mitsu: "I do not address the Scorpion Daimyo!"
Hantei Dave: shoju is stunned
Hantei Dave: he takes a step back
Hantei Dave: "Tanto bearers. Togashi Yokuni invites you to his palace in one
months time."
Hantei Dave: says Mitsu
Togashi Udon: Brother Mitsu, thank you. (BOW LOW)
Hantei Dave: Hai brother Udon
KibagamiKuno: domo arigato Togashi-sama, but we may not be able to make it - Lion,
Crane and Phoenix believe we are all their enemies. Can you help us convince them
that we are friends?
Hantei Dave: Shoju: "And his support of the Scorpion?!?! What of that!?"
KibagamiKuno: Shoju-sama - this is not about support of the scorpion, it is about
KibagamiKuno: fighting the evil one.
Hantei Dave: Mitsu: "Togashi has given us no instruction to speak to the Lord
of Scorpions Shoju-sama."
Hantei Dave: Shoju: "OUT!!! I will show you support and brotherhood!!!
Tomarrow morning you will goto the Dragon army and give our word of
peace!"
KibagamiKuno: we must not think of supporting crab or lion, but supporting all in the
fight against the evil one.
Hantei Dave: "Aromoro...I want them all out now!"
Hantei Dave: Aromoro calls the guards
Hantei Dave: Leave Shoju in peace all
Hantei Dave: says Aromoro
Hantei Dave: The Ise Zumi leave
Togashi Udon: I leave, with Togashi Mitsu
KibagamiKuno: i bow and leave.
Suzume Sousha: does that include us?
Togashi Udon: Bow
Suzume Sousha: If so I bow and leave
Hantei Dave: one sec...mouse
Togashi Udon: all(i thought it ment us too)
Keshijo: I bow.
KibagamiKuno: (he really means a mouse heheh)
Togashi Udon: (he's on his chair screaming)
Hantei Dave: was eating the poison
Hantei Dave: after he ran away with a wooden trab and 2 glue traps
KibagamiKuno: that must have been a fun sight...
Keshijo: Mighty Mouse?
Hantei Dave: guess so
Togashi Udon: hehe
Hantei Dave: anyway, people shuffle out of SHoju's office
Togashi Udon: Can I speak with Mitsu and the others?
Hantei Dave: you guys need rest...looks like you have a busy day in the
morning
Hantei Dave: Udon: they walk quick so limited time
Keshijo: How far is the Dragon palace?
Togashi Udon: I wish to explain what happened and the prophacy (which they
alreay know probobply)
Hantei Dave: about 3 weeks away keshijo
Keshijo: Ugh.
Hantei Dave: You start talking as they all walk
Togashi Udon: I also say how good it is to see them.
Hantei Dave: Mitsu says, "I know Udon. We all know." He stops for a moment
"We do follow our master you know."
Togashi Udon: Of course.
Hantei Dave: "...it is good to see you too"....they al smile. "We will meet again
in 1 month I imagine
Togashi Udon: I also tell them of the crabby crab and the stubborn lion and
how amazing the tanto bearers are
Hantei Dave: "Good luck Udon. Become the Puzzle"
Hantei Dave: They have the gates open for them to leave
Togashi Udon: Become the puzzle, Mitsu. Bow to all.
Hantei Dave: Anyone wanna get rest? In this life or the next? (real world)
Hantei Dave: i'll keep going if you want
