I assume the wall that is moving is the one that makes up the wall of the center room?
below is an edited map for clarity of question
Map.
No, the wall is to the left. Basically, Urk is in the round room, y'all went down the "west" hall to check out the prisoners, and there is a wall at the far (again, "west") end of that hall, and it is that wall that is moving. The wall your map is pointing at has the door that just slammed shut, cutting you off from Urk.

Tokine - I just realized you have unavailable spells until the next day! Seeing as we seem to level several times in the passage of a "day", that's quite a wait for access to your spells. I think we are in the midst of day 3 in this game, over the span of two years? I imagine Tokine getting a night's rest and nearly passing out from the new knowledge that floods her mind.

Yeah, the price of being the prepared caster. The other two days, I totally held off advancing until she slept (and what glorious dreams she has had), but this time, I gave her the physical boost at least...seemed like we might need it. But I figure she will at least need time to meditate to fill in the new unused slots for today.
Perhaps as she readies for the formal dinner, installs her art presentation, settles the chaos that is her temple....RIGHT after she wipes the floor with more vampires and goblins and who knows what else...she should be able to schedule a moment to clear her mind.
Yes, it has been a very busy couple of days.

@Imuri: Hmmm...the soul separation technique used by Plum Blossom leaves the victim in a state that looks basically just like sleep, so it's likely none of the Shoto folks would have noticed until they were commanded to get her up and dressed, which I assumed Imuri would not have been around for. Perhaps that's a poor assumption on my part.
That being the case, we can wind it back if you want. How long would Imuri have stuck around at the Gossamer Palace? We can do it one of two ways, I reckon; if Imuri would have stuck around long enough to make sure she was awake and getting ready, then we can start there, with the discovery that her essence is missing. If he would have just delegated and headed out to the rendezvous, then we can have a Shoto runner catch up with him and his retinue just outside the tea house, and replay the interaction there.
Got a preference?

So, Azami pointed out to me that I posted out of Initiative order. I may have forgotten, but I thought that was how we were playing it here. In my games, I let the players post in any order as long as they don't skip any NPCs. I find that it saves a bit of time instead of waiting on one person, thus speeding up combat.
Let me know if you want to wait for the proper Initiative to roll around.

I admit I was thrown off by it at first, but I can see the point that it keeps play moving along while people find time to post. This sounds like a pretty good idea, actually. Although, I also do see the clashing possibility. But I suppose you could always wait till the others go before you do if you wanted to see how to react.
So, just so I understand correctly, you're saying that if the order was:
Azami
Kyras
Imuri
GOOD NPC
Chu
Tokine
Wei
BAD GUY
That the first three could go in any order, and then they'd have to wait for the NPC? Then the next set of people could go in any order?

I agree that's the best system for initiative. It not only keeps combat from getting bogged down, but shortens combats and conserves resources over time. We delay or hold for specific reactions less often, and use our resources instead of waiting to use aomeone else's.
Along those lines there is one concern. If someone is going to buff allies, they need to at least mention it briefly in the OOC thread. Otherwise Kyras nor Imuri get hasted much.

Don't worry imuri if we survive this fight the cost of this jar will increase exponentially. >:)
We will see if you can afford it later after all your hard work buying a living corpse lol xD
J/k partially no hard feelings just messing a bit. It will however cost you....
We could give it to the Sera clan....

Given that she was abducted, Imuri would not let her sleep through his trip to Gossamer Palace. There is testimony to deliver, her identity to verify. There's whether or not she would go to the dinner with Imuri or go home to prepare to represent the Sera. And of course, there is whatever she was going to tell Imuri last night.
We are samutai, so in Imuri's view, it is an insult to Aki-Kirei to let her rest when things need to be done.
For these reasons, I think the Shoto would want to wake her awake and getting ready immediately upon her reception. So if Imuri knows she is not herself when he delivers Erodal, I will help reset that scene.

Um hate to correct you boss but we snatched seras jar and left the ones I couldn't identify but if you want to roll that way then that's cool. :)
That's why I made those knowledge checks to make sure that it wouldn't hurt the jars to place them in a dimensional space, aka handy haversack~
Didn't want to take a chance the place suddenly reconfigured on us and we lost the jar completely. But like I said your the boss. ;)
