The Day of Thunder

Also on the cave expedition - if we do want to make one or a few more torches or light sources. I'm thinking maybe Hunting rolls for that? Or would something different be more fitting?

And if necessary (given rain and dampness) I'm assuming summoning fire might help?

Reo's comment as Tae-soo steps inside following the others is received only with a few blinks. He wondered if the Spider was someone of special import. It was hard to tell, at times - he wasn't particularly used to all those matters of hierarchy, but his words seemed to suggest he was... although th...

Tae-soo nods at Naraku, then at Otaku. "The River says the fog is caused by... dreams. So if the dreams and the cave are connected..." Another nod at Naraku. "The water's spirits can get the water cleaned... but as Hiruma Naraku-nim said, that won't do it while the colourful stones keep affecting it...

A moment more looking at the area, another minute in silence listening to the surroundings, ans Tae-soo speaks again.

"The River... it comes from the cave. This underground lake... it's what feeds the river of forgetfulness. I'm pretty sure now."

The young tribesman still doesn't say a word, eyes following the flowers and bushes, ears focused on the sounds around. He does step forward to take a look at the document though. The cypher... he looks at it. It's nothing like he's ever seen before. Maybe if they took a while trying to put things t...

Tae-soo keeps his ears on the conversation and his eyes on the vegetation as they make their way. His hands, meanwhile, reach for a knife, then to his arms. --- D4 EM - Fire Kami's Blessing on himself. 1 Wound, TN 10.

Linked to Otaku's question on GM questions (and sorry for repeating part of it there! Working with a really poor connection here so I only saw her post after making mine and trying to get this out before I lose connectivity again!)

As they progress, talk of flowers that apparently bloom out of season lead to raised eyebrows, and eyes looking out for those - and especially anything out of the ordinary regarding them. He was no specialist, of course - nothing like Halmeoni was, to be sure. And this was not the Land he was used t...

(OOC: Ugh, shifty connection, had written that a while ago! Tae could do a quick check of the unseasonal flowers I guess. He'd also look for any sign of streams or anything of the kind as we get near the cave - have you folks seen I'd there's a connection to the river or anything of the kind in prev...

The young man with colourful patterned robes walks not far from Tai - a gut reaction in a large group with many people he didn't know too well, especially one with people of high stature. Well, metaphorically, at least. Otaku did seem like very fair the few times she'd spoken to him, of course. That...

Snip

Shall we do the thing, then?

What's the team looking like so far? Tai, Tae-soo, Otaku and Chuchu so far?

Do we want another meat shield, maybe? XD

Edit: Oh, Naraku said he might be interested too, I think?

Forgot to post this here yesterday!

Should still be in time though

Thanks!

Mine aren't much better. Which should make it extra fun.

Just seeing this now, but Tae may be able to pull off one of those (the Fire one is still possible at ML 2) *and* he's got at least half-decent investigation, if that hasn't been done yet and you'd like help!

Let's hope you're right!

Tae-soo is rather decent at Investigation, so might be a good choice in that regard.

Snip The cave does sound exactly in line with an answer I got to 'how can the River be helped', so I'd be interested! Water-focused with at least some combat utility (at least hopefully), but I could sit out or just provide some support in advance (Silent Waters available opens a few doors!) if oth...

The ayu is placed aside with a silent prayer and a word of thanks as Tae-soo looks at the images, with great attention, wondering. Iridescent stone... he'd have to think about that. He nods, thoughtful, bows respectfully, smiling again. "Thanks for sharing that, friend. I'll do my best to help." He ...

Quick question! The description of the spell Visions of the Future says it's been created by the Tonbo, so that would suggest it wouldn't exist at this point. It is the only 'ask about the future' spell other than a wildly powerful Rank 6 spell though, and it seems like the kind of thing that even t...

She's asleep, with no marks on her. It seems it didn't get to her.

There's nothing outside the tent, either.

(Tagging here too! Although seeing other threads I think I know the answer XD)

The water ripples a little more actively this time, responding to his call.

(OOC: Tagging as I forgot to above!)

The young man sighs as he makes sure the young'un is undisturbed, releasing tension he didn't even know he was holding. The lack of any signs outside the tent are troubling, though. He steps outside, looks again. Hears. Tries to think. Is there anything different? Or... did he remember anything like...
