Any additions to make to Satsuki's excellent list?

Tai is up for both medical emergency (the water kami have been awfully nice so far) and spiritual nonsense.

Tai nods. "It'd be good to know more of what's goin' on with the river and whatever's bleedin' through here. I'm thinkin' the earth might be able to answer if um...bleed from Yume-do is what's happenin'. Then we know for sure. I'd like to ask if it knows how to stop that, but I'm not sure we'll get ...

Tai'd found a spot to pause and get her thoughts in order. The sound of battle a bit in the distance had indicated that they'd likely need folks patched up soon. It wasn't her finest skill, but she'd heal who she could. They'd need everyone to fight what was coming, it seemed. She hears people appro...

Tai chuckles at Maxime's word. "Only barely a healer, mostly a builder. Walls, pots. But you learn a few tricks of necessity in a long enough life, neh?" She nods at Otaku's offer. "Appreciate it. It's small enough I wouldn't usually. Awkward to wrap one-handed. So thanks." She looks up, way up, at ...

For improving the camp (thank you Reo for starting this idea first), what would the TN be for crafting something like defensive stakes/palisades? Also assuming Intelligence is the trait used for crafting? :) Adding in as the earth shugenja with stoneworking skills, how much does something like Summ...

Tai notices the jade. "Huh...good idea for the jade there. Obvious if it's affected. Doesn't look like it, so clean and wait might've worked too." And then she saves her voice for the kami for a time. She draws her small stone knife and presses it beside another small cut on the back of her wrist. S...

"Well, whatever himself said about the fight bein' in some number of days, we need to be better guarded against whatever this kind of thing is. Creatures bleedin' in from the dream realm now, along with putting the elements to sleep?" Tai frowns as she approaches the horse...carefully, to look at th...

Tai stirs a pot of willow bark tea. Didn't need a lick of training to know that one unless you'd kept your head in a hole. Training could make it more palatable...woe to whoever drank from this pot. As far as Makime can see, this Crab at least is uninjured. Most of the injuries here so far seem to b...

"And if we're cut off from other realms, how's another bleedin' through.... hmm, only cut off from some realms maybe?" She's not entirely surprised that the Yuzuru have someone with that sort of odd and mythical skill, but it's certainly something to see first hand. "Don't suppose you have the same ...

Medic space. Not that Tai is the best choice as medic, but at least she can cast Water spells this go around.

Hadn't been hard to miss the commotion off in the fields. Folks would need fixing. It wasn't her strong suit. People were so much squishier than stone. Still, Tai heads to where most folks have been sleeping and set up a fire, water, bugging folks for supplies...the usual fussing around when you're ...

Given that there's also a horse-sized patient, I'll toss up a LE post in the main camp as a healing triage spot. I suspect the village healer's house will quickly be stuffed full, clown-car style, if we cram everyone and a horse in there. XD This could probably also serve as the general place to org...

snip "Hmm, I'm sendin' em after you if any show up. Have a feelin' you could use fortunes lookin' over your shoulder more'n I will." Tai nods though, fingers tracing an old protective mark on the air...not that she trusted the flighty spirits there to heed it long, but every little bit could count....

Tai shrugs. "Assumin' the monk on a rock was right, we've got a few days before things get extra complicated. So probably all good. If you've worked around whatever festival things are goin' on, seems fine." With a somewhat grim smile, she adds, "and if the monk were wrong? Well, I guess you'll chan...

Day 2 Nightmares: Willpower, Void for +1k1 | 5k5 ⇒ 34 (TN: 20) Tai is not surprised at the very old and familiar nightmare that greets her. Hadn't the day's ritual brought exactly this to mind? The pain is a memory so old she really can't access it when awake anymore. The hot slick of blood and sou...

snip "If we survive this, we can hammer out a trade with the Dragon on the way home. Imagine it gets cold on their side of the mountains too and all." She nods over to the shaggy visitor. "Coat like that? Probably fine." Twitching her own shaggy cloak into place, she adds, "Goats still handle a lot...

Tai listens to both summaries carefully. "A lot of that is concerning. Something bright green harming the river..." she shakes her head. She was used to that sounding more like the way one could call jade's purity from the earth. Black stone could be many things, though both south and north, there w...

snip "It would, wouldn't it? Could finish my carvin' out the story in leisure then." She grins, then looks over at the lowing cow. "Maybe you'll survive too, even." Turning back to Anjing, she adds, "though I guess it's even odds if that one ends up part of a celebration feast then. We could use so...

Tai nods. "Anything more'n a simple bit's too much planning. Won't stick. Like 'here's the tale of how the village of Two Rivers dealt with an ogre,' and folks are off and runnin'"

Tai nods. "Not entirely sure what ritual they thought they were up to down there. There were lots of horrible ones out among the scattered villages. You sacrifice to offer the spirits power to aid you, to affect the world. But it's a willin' sacrifice. Maybe that's a rule of the world so the spirit...
