Hantei Dave: Shiba guards everywhere...but you do have a window
Keshijo: I look out the window...
Hantei Dave: it slopes down the 2nd floor of the pagoda
Hantei Dave: the shingles that is
Keshijo: Anything interesting?
Hantei Dave: not really. Cloud covered moon
Hantei Dave: kinda dark with broken moments of moonlight
Keshijo: I sit out on the roof for a bit. Near the window and watch the
stars.
Hantei Dave: ok
Keshijo: between the clouds, anyway.
Hantei Dave: a wind is picking up
Keshijo: I look into the wind.
Hantei Dave: you are suprised to see a womans head pop up from below
the pagoda edge. Her arms are outstretched and her robes blow in the
wind. She smiles as she rises strait past you up to the next level
Hantei Dave: seems different then your method. She seems to have
control of the wind
Keshijo: Which way?
Keshijo: Can I follow?
Hantei Dave: she goes up
Hantei Dave: heheh
Keshijo: Karuni-jutsu?
Keshijo: To the next level?
Hantei Dave: roll
Hantei Dave: how long?
Keshijo: Ummm... roll what?
Hantei Dave: oh right....
Hantei Dave: just roll dex
Hantei Dave: athletics
Hantei Dave: i mean
Keshijo: Yes. No ninja magic...
Keshijo: 24
Hantei Dave: you jump but a strong wind pushes you strait back down.
You hear her laugh
Hantei Dave: from somewhere above the next level
Keshijo: I climb up then.
Hantei Dave: can't...you would have to climb UNDER the next level roof
and over...very hard
Keshijo: I am a ninja... :-)
Hantei Dave: well...go then
Hantei Dave: roll
Keshijo: Athletics?
Hantei Dave: climb
Keshijo: Maybe I'll jump again... I don't think I have climb...
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hantei Dave: roll again then
Keshijo: Thought athletics covered it.....
Hantei Dave: sorry...there is a climb skill
Keshijo: 26 this time.
Hantei Dave: you made it. (looks at your sheet) You will need to make
a climb skill roll anyway. You just grabbed the next ledge
Hantei Dave: -4
Hantei Dave: but you made it that far
Hantei Dave: this time
Keshijo: Climb is dex?
Hantei Dave: yep
Keshijo: 19 then.
Hantei Dave: you made it. You climb up
Hantei Dave: She is hoving there watching you...feet pointed barely off
the floor
Hantei Dave: her hair flows in the wind
Keshijo: "Greetings my lady."
Hantei Dave: She says nothing
Keshijo: "I am called Shinjoten. What may I call you?"
Hantei Dave: "The wind." She laughs
Keshijo: "I have often admired the wind. I see I have good reason."
Hantei Dave: "The Shiba will kill you if they saw you here. And they
would scold me."
Keshijo: "Perhaps we could talk elsewhere then?"
Hantei Dave: "No. I am just a passing wind. You will have forgotten me
by tomarrow." She spins around in the wind like a small tornado with arms
stretched and scoots over the next level
Keshijo: Well, she won't hear me if I talk, so I'll follow...
Hantei Dave: hehehe...after you make it to the next level you realize she is
gone now...back to the game
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Keshijo: I right a note and leave it outside the window. "I won't forget the
wind."
