The Day of Thunder

Testing the dreamstone in the walls of the cave for corruption by flaking it, making a slurry and poking jade into it.

Lore: corruption or Nature or Spirit Realms

With the ice broken, Reo peeks inside and walks down to the vein of dreamstone. When he gets there he scraps a tool along the wall, collecting dust from the Dreamtone. He makes a paste with it with fresh water and pokes his jade against it to generate a reaction.

(OOC: if no one is going to stop hin Reo is going inside) Otaku does indeed stop him with a raised hand and quiet warning. "Wait until the shugenja are done out here, Hisomu-san. Splitting up doubles our danger." She swings down out of the saddle, looping Tsubame's reins over his saddle pommel to k...

"It's disoriented...but not showing signs of Taint" Reo looks back over to the river. "If that's the case, I don't think the river itself is a source of Taint. But...it's something"

"Might" is still a pretty contention. And even if it was pure a year ago, it might no longer be." Reo reads through the note, cursing the he himself had never mastered the codebreaking that he had trained his students on. "It definitely seems that we need a shugenja for at least some part. But if th...

Reo gives up on parsing the syntactical ambiguity.

"There are tests that can be done to say for sure if there is corruption"

"We don't know. Jade is from Tengoku. It's possible there was a material from Yume Do before its corruption. Naraku mentioned the mine is seeping into the countryside. If it was bringing taint the signs of corruption should be more obvious." "It's not," Chuchu pipes up. "It's not from the Dreaming ...

Otaku listens to Tai thoughtfully, then turns her head to glance at Hiruma Naraku, the only member of the group who's been out her before. "I thought this dreamstone was a corrupt thing itself? Is there more than one kind of the stuff?" "We don't know. Jade is from Tengoku. It's possible there was ...

Reo nods. "I won't mince words Otaku-san: no matter what, this lode is pivotal. If corrupted, it's likely the source of the covergence of all this strangeness. If we have somehow found a vein of Dreamstone from Yume Do before it's corruption then it's a weapon that can cost every weapon and be the h...

Ok. I'll alter my post

Reo's going to ride on Otaku's horse if that's ok. Otherwise he moves slower than everyone

Ok then they meet up independently then.
Maybe make it a group thread

Himself is the plan

Heading to the Dreamstone mine

Reo had been given the map of the venturing party, and being told to follow the unseasonably early flower blooms. With that in mind he heads through the forest. He wishes that he could have made the trip solo, or at least a head start, but this was as early as he could manage and he'd run into a con...

"Jokes, jokes in poor taste spring to mind." Reo pauses. "If you really want, I can offend you. On purpose this time!"

(tag) (tag) (tag) Shugenja who can cast Water spells (like Reflections of Pan Ku) and/or are certified Rocks Experts, on D4 Otaku will want to put together a hazmat investigation team for the dreamstone cavern/lake that the scouting team found D3. Quite possibly this has something to do with whatev...

Reo nods. "There are tests to perform. If it is indeed corrupted, it's quite dangerous. If not, it's a weapon."

Enrou took a small puff of his pipe, standing up straight and crossing one arm under his elbow as he fixed his gaze on the Spider. "Tell me, Reo-sama. Is there any way you could have worded that more awkwardly? Just genuinely curious how far off center we can get in one conversation." "Yes!" Reo re...

"I wonder..." Reo ponders. "Time." He drums a finger on his chin. "Both of you, what do corruption or dreams have to do with flowers blooming? Directly, not necessarily corruptive features. And what does it do with memories? If this lode is what the river has been seeping, then how does Jigoku affec...
