Please to be keeping all off ooc discussion here my friends.
Checking in.
Duplicating the post I first dropped in recruitment:
Profile complete, I think.
What would you like to do about Senno?
I have a character sheet created for her as a Hiruma Scout, as I discussed earlier.
I can send that out somehow for Havocprince to use, I can post the meat of it for Havocprince to use, or I can create a profile for her, but that last could get complicated, I think.
How do you want to work together on this?
I'll duplicate my post as well. Pm Senno to me, I have some plans already for her.
Character put together, and checking in here. Do any of us want to already have an established relationship or past associations with one another?
You and I might have crossed paths before. Shinsei and Furudera orders are pretty friendly towards each other, as far as I found in the lore. We might have met once of twice, on some kind of exchanges of experience.
As I recall, most monks and shujenja are friendly towards one another. Monks perform most of the religious ceremonies - weddings, funerals, etc - for the peasants, while shujenja perform them for the samurai. Occasionally one will do the other's societal job when the other is not available, IIRC.
Greetings
would like to share with you all episode 1 of yagyu conspiracy here
If no one gives of there food supplies to Taki he will ignore the penalties for today.
Starvation count will be set to 1 day for any who doesn't manage a meal, if you would all be so kind as to place a counter next to your earth ring labled days without food it will become very important. Thankfully, you have two ex-crabs who will be making it easier to stretch your rations during the game.
Anyone who has not picked out their travel pack items needs to do so now and list them instead of just listing travel pack. Ryuk, you need your items listed my friend, I just noticed they were missing.
Monks don't get a travel pack. It's very clear on what Shinsei Brotherhood has - we is dirt broke. Clothes, staff, some prayer scrolls, and two freaking zeni. That buys like a bowl of soup that's 99% water, 1% chicken stock. Lol. And I went all "Old Widow Woman" parable and dropped half my money, 'cause my dude is legit.
Yep, well aware that the monks don't get access to such luxuries. There are a few ronin who are missing there's is all.
Oops. Fixed.
Going to give the group another day real time to get to know each other before advancing yee olde plot. We have one more joining, but if he does get to post before Shabbat ends I will just have to slot him in as we go. Be ready, things are about to get interesting.
hi, outfit consists of: sturdy robes, wakizashi, katana, travelling pack scroll satchel, 5 bu
my travel pack contains: 2 weeks worth of food supplies, a bottle of water, a cooking pot, flint and tinder, whetstone, wide-brimmed staw hat, coin purse, chop sticks
Storyteller is going to sit here for a bit and let the group reason out what they wish to do. Storyteller is still here, so do not fret. Storyteller will enjoy speaking about storyteller in the third person.
Inoue, were you steering the group towards Rengai Mura at the edge of the forest?
That's the plan.
Inoue has given a good location to give report, Ryuk seems to be suggesting he will stay with the body and perform prayers. Will you be splitting the party, one of the advantages of pbp is the ease with which that can be played out.
Splitting sounds reasonable - someone stays with the body, others go to the village.
Boiler plate message.
Due to the statistical certainty that at least one person in any of my games is celebrating some kind of Christmas thing... Merry Christmas.
I will be taking part in the long standing Jewish tradition of Chinese food and a bad horror film if anybody needs a suggestion on what to do. This years bad horror film, "Killer Clowns From Outer Space". A classic.

Ryuk, it is an unattended shrine. No monks to question. Otherwise looks good.
I am not near my books at this second, but Inoue will be gaining honor for showing compassion to one way below his station, and losing some for having to sully his hands with the wounded eta. The gain will out way the loss, but I'm not sure by how much.
Inoue -2 honor for touching an eta, but +4 honor for showing compassion to one of a lower status, so net gain of 2 pips honor.
Giving Ryuk till the end of the day to respond to you, and then I shall push the narrative ahead. Are you folks doing anything in particular with the gear you gathered from the dead?
Headed to a Boy Scout Shooting Sports campout to run the archery range. In the Hill Country and a valley, so there is no cell service after I get there.
Will be back Sunday night.
Sorry about delays. Got a new job, started working 6 days a week, got a new girlfriend, and if I'm being honest, have spent the majority of my time not working pretty f%!$ing high or f##%ing while pretty high.
It looks like Ryuk hasn't posted on any of his games since his Friday postings. Hoping he is alright.
Sorry, yes. They broke back in to the clearing just as you were coming out of the commune to find the clearing devoid of structure.
Last week was a shooting sports event for the local BSA council.
This week is a district camp-o-ree and I'm off to camp with the troop. See everybody on Sunday!
Giving Hionaga a chance to continue questions since no one else is interjecting.
Actually, I was done. I could probably come up with more to ask her, but I got what I was after:
Nope, the locals didn't know about the Crane magistrates.
What to call the local lord as we seek an audience to discuss what we found.
Would everyone like to make their way to the castle, or be content that the lions did not know of the dead samurai?
After a protracted battle with cancer, a close relative of mine has passed. I will be sitting shiva for her and will not have much time to be online for the next week. If you need to bot me, please do.
I will place the next prompt and this should allow you to take some time to get to know each other in character since your karma seems to be traveling together now...
<sigh> Have we lost half the party already?
Looks like we did.
It would seem so. If we have to move on with just two, well it is l5r. It is quite possible to do what I wish with just two. I will be pushing onward if you are willing.
Still here, just...less able to post. GF's mom is kinda in a coma, and I have added "being there for her" to the list of responsibilities of late.
I don't like hospitals.
Most people don't like hospitals. I think it is a natural aversion.
Time for another BSA Campout at the facility with no cell signals. I head to work in the morning and then go meet the troop and head to camp. I'll be back on Sunday.
To be honest, I'm not sure what to do next. Any ideas?
All the options are open, but I will suggest a few.
Head out to the crane lands and see if you can track down where they came from.
Go report what you have seen to the emerald magistrate as these were his yoriki.
Decide you have a good mix of people and go forth to try and find work... and food.
Realize that that the female is untouched, but the camp has nearly rotted away in the last few days... because that might be a thing.
Honestly, I was thinking about searching for the source of the bear.
The lack of natural rot on the woman was a pretty obvious clue, but one my bushi doesn't know how to look into.
We don't know which Emerald Magistrate to report to, or where one is at the moment. The other option on that path would be to go to the capital to report the deaths at the Emerald Magistrate headquarters. THAT seems like just asking for trouble to me.
I was planning on asking about trying to find some sign of raving animals.
I didn't say they were good suggestions.
More scouting. Helping run a training course that will keep me occupied through late Sunday. I am in cell range and might get a few minutes like this every now and again.
Was trying to give naga a second to post, but will be pushing ahead. I'm also going to assume taki may show back up some day so I have not written him off completely. I will be opening up a recruitment this weekend to see if we can't drag a few people in to keep up a post rate.
Another Scout camping trip. This time with the troop, like is supposed to be normal. Going back to the site with no cell coverage.
My allergies are hitting me hard enough I want to just crawl into a ball and do nothing. All the boys can't get there unless I drive.
