The Day of Thunder

"Hmmph. Anjing's quite over it I think. But then she's had a few more years. There's children now who've always had the name." She rewraps her hand. Considering that standing while the giant daimyo sits puts Tai nearly eye to eye with her, the flush is noticed, but only acknowledged with a small qui...

Writing to come. Wanted rolls before day shift. *********** The Will Shapes the Dream: D4 Sleep event: Eti/Willpower VP for +1k1 | 6k5 ⇒ 36 (TN: 25) forgot Disturbing Countenance, still makes it. The Dream Shapes the Form: D4 Sleep event: Lore:Stone/Int, VP 1 raise since I forgot on the previous one...

The thought of the girl with Enrou...and of whatever this healing ritual to come would entail, isn't an entirely comforting one. So she nods, close-lipped smile widening a bit as she steps past, slipping the bear cloak from her shoulders as she does. "Many thanks, a cup of tea'd be nice. Anythin' wa...

"Well, if it wants stone to purify it, I have been meaning to take samples to work on." Reo does his very best not to roll his eyes "We need them out of the water to cleanse it no? That was the point of what our priests have said. Otherwise, we are throwing in a load of jade to do absolutely nothin...

A few short posts with the morning, but now work. Need to do sleep rolls after work.

Tai offers a similarly small close-lipped smile, consciously trying to appear a bit less odd by not baring those darkened teeth. It's only so effective, given the black on black eyes. "Sun's blessin' for you and she both, but I'm just Tai, usually. Crab though, yes. Kaiu in particular, known for bui...

"They've felt worse. Not much though." She did laugh, then winced before taking a longer drink from her skin. Wiping her mouth, she offered it to her. "It's not much, but I offer the hospitality of my humble abode." Offering a smile to the Kaiu, regarding her closely. "Kaiu Tai, right? I've heard y...

Sleep and work time

And while I'm trying to get my brain to shift from wiped out at work mode into IC posting mode... How many tents *can* we reasonably cover in the 30' diameter circle of a Ward of Purity? Currently sitting in a roughly 30x40 room and mentally hacking 10 feet off a side and thinking 4-5 of even the s...

Tai tries adjusting one of the various bandages on Ayako, which is pretty much a cosmetic change to her appearance. "I'm still tracking down more on the healing ritual itself, but if it covers the entire village? Yes, I'd worry a bit about that. May be good to see if we'd be affected out here in the...

Non-shugenja needs: - Solid materials for scrolls (I think also colorful ink would be good as well as high-quality made scrolls, usually by combining fabric and paper/parchment) - Decorating scrolls in relation to its symbolic beast+virtues+story - Accurate reads on the four cardinal directions - L...

Tai wraps a cloth around her hand. "Not sure entirely. Whatever strangeness is going on here, he's certainly in a spot to know about most of it." She downs about half her cup of tea in three large swallows.

Bare feet in the mud have a bit of a slap-squelch kind of sound as they round yet another tent corner. Then a pause, and a low-voiced. "Lady Matsu, no? How's the ribs? Ayako tells me you shared in the excitement this morning."

Sitting back on her heels she rummages one-handed in her sack, coming out with a slip of paper to lay on the ground. Murmuring to Akemi..the knife, she uses its tip to scoop at the blood still welling on her hand and write, very crudely, the kami's words; there's no time to mix ink. She speaks them ...

Tai chuckles. "Well, I'll take that as a complement as you seem well-taught... also sensible for one so young. Well, other than waitin' five whole years to finish courtin' the one your eye's set on. Or so I hear!" She shakes her head. "Though I don't know what's up with the water spirits bein' so ea...

Yes... You must Purge the Dream of Evil.... * [Clarity: It wants the actual rocks and specifically the Purge the Taint spell.] Tai nods and thinks a moment. "We hope to do so. But it might be good for this area to wake again. Do you know if there is a way to keep the Dream from bleedin' into the mo...

The earth groaned and rumbled. There's so much... So much of it buried in our skin... We will need to be many, with the purity of jade... It cannot return whence it was, but it can be cleansed... Tai nods, asking, "many. We need to call or bring more earth spirits here, particularly those of jade. ...

It takes a little asking around before Tai finds someone willing to tell her where Aoyama's family lived. Pity she hadn't heard the rumors earlier, Anjing probably knew the answer and was literally never as wary as these villagers were today. Well, after the stories of needle-fingered demons, she'd ...

Having Ayako's report of Matsu's injuries, Tai goes hunting for the woman through camp. You'd think it would be easy to find someone that large...but maybe she's laying down?

Conversely, those who did eat didn't need to roll Earth in the night thread if they got nightmared... So that earth roll seemed to be about avoiding the taint from the little stabby critters. So...I'm not comforted if the food warded them off, since that means the villagers knew to ward off little ...
