The Day of Thunder

Within the dream Sugri is unaware that it is such and simply lives another life. Upon awakening the guru considers what he had been shown. There did not seem to be anything within the dream to serve as temptation. Nothing that would make him seek to see the heroes of this age falter or fail. If it w...

Initially, he saw himself returning from Rokugan to the Ivory Kingdoms, bringing back knowledge of their culture, their ways, their fighting styles, and the events of the Day of Thunder. The years pass, and he continues to travel and teach, and eventually pass onto back into the cycle of Samsara. T...

"Hey, buckup." She claps him on the shoulder. "I'm sure the demon had come hunting you and viewed you as a truly great threat it had to stop." Anjing smiles, believe in the you the demons want to kill. The shrine, or at least the idea of it continues to loom. "You're right, hard to imagine it all c...

She tapes her club meaningfully against her shoulder. "Just so, just so. It nearly killed Ayako, and she's barely older than my grandchildren. I ain't done with it by a long site. Even if I don't quite know what it is, I know where it is." Anjing looks back into the fog as if she could see the dist...

Jin got 0.1 but also not a hothead. I recall fluff rolling, for my own amusement since he was an NPC after that, for the months between Kyuuen and Winter Court and he passed every one. Obviously non-binding if the Birb wants to explore that avenue but he also has a GD that hasn't burnt off so a heel...

"I wouldn't say that. If the demon can go inside Shinsei then logically it must be able to leave again. And it can't stay inside him forever, not with so many of us putting our heads to it. Might have to-" She smacks a fist into her palm. "-persuade it first, but I bet an all jade diet would have t...

Anjing whistles quietly as they reach the edge of the camp where the flickering torches fought desperately against the fog. "That powerful huh?" With a slightly teasing tone. "Still couldn't bring him down huh? Well, there's always next time." Still, the thought of a Shinsei augmented by such a pow...

Her eyebrows jump up. "Oh? Now that is fascinating. Yes, the Harbinger has worn many bodies, many women if I understand correctly. It doesn't sound like them at all. Perhaps another force, or even the Harbinger's beloved? Apparently its...lover is central to all of this." Anjing looks a little scep...

"She can be allowed a little self-doubt, from her perspective the land's wisest monk spent a few moments trying to rip her head off. Now, if you know he's a donkey it's not so bad. But Ayako found out the hard way." Anjing leads them weaving through small clusters of armed warriors who patrol the c...

She gives it a firm squeeze, nodding. "Ha! Ayako is not much older than my grandchildren. She isn't close by blood, but she is one of my warriors and one of my people. She staggers back to our camp bearing all manner of wounds to make her report." Anjing's nostrils flare slightly and the pride is e...

"Ah Sugri, just the man I was looking for. The evening is as well as it can be, as you say standards are rather different in the fog." She offers a hand for a warrior's claps. "I understand you fought alongside my niece yesterday, Satsuki, she would have been the one breathing literal and metaphori...

Anjing stamps into the Imperial Camp on a mission, she'd already spoken to Hikaru about this but apparently that Sugri fellow had been involved. Now, now she had to come and tell the outlander exactly what she thought of him. Armed and armoured she continues through the tents until she finally appr...

What kind of social stigma is there against people who have Taint in this time period? (I am guessing it may be different than canon L5R where we battled the Shadowlands for 1000+ years.) To my knowledge the mechanics of the Taint still aren't fully figured out at this point? Or at least not widely...

Sugri is strong versus fear but I won't jump in unless needed so others get a chance at combat if they want it.

The more I think on it the more I realize the cold truth: Makime is not going to let Chouri live past her usefulness. And to be blunt she will probably flat out say you execute the traitor or you kill a Lion daimyo trying to see Imperial Justice done. Give her a spear and send her to the combat thr...

On the plus side it gives a good excuse to bring an old character to a miai game.

'Sure I'm pushing 60 but my first spouse died and now I'm back on the market and have more in common with you then any of these youngsters!'

"I certainly hope that the lessons I took from him are the good ones." She at least had picked up how not to be overtly and completely self-destructive since her time in the South. She dragged her fingers through her hair and grunted. "We should pull back from here. The temptation is not going to g...

Though the nightmare eventually surpassed even Sugri's mental fortitude and calm the exterior forces driving it were not prepared for what lay within. Though the mortal man did not succeed at mastering the forces arrayed against him something else stirred and moved and hunted. While one could debate...

"No person may have more than one Advantage/Disadvantage from a matched set"

Is this being waived for this event given the circumstances or are those of us already Cursed by a Realm just their normal cursed self if failed (and just don't get the Lucid Dreaming bennie)

Sora's name is the sound a tree makes falling in the forest when no one is present.
