Jade Moon:
She sings, weaving her new song into a greater narrative.
She sings of Lianhua, the Lotus Maiden, who defended her village against the Lang Wang, the Wolf King.
In the song, Lang Wang has devastated her village, the people have fled to the forests, and his marauders burn and pillage the homes.
She stands, however, in the road, preventing the rover from passing.
Hair unsettled, face and clothes soiled by smoke and mud, she struggles to lift her brother's blade in challenge.
Who can deny such bravery? Such spirit? Not Lang Wang.
And, not one of Jiao Xi's bandits.
He stares into space, listening to the beauty of Jade Moon's song, as Lianhua's bravery melts the Wolf King's heart and he orders his men to withdraw and repair what they broke.
Enlightenment fills his eyes and heart and Lang Wang becomes a man of virtue and discipline.
He even marries the Lotus Madien after a time.
Tears run freely down the bandit's cheeks at such a courageous and rousing song.
Jiao Xi: "You idiots!"
I'm laughing through tears right nao.
Bandit loot:
6 longswords
6 longbows
6 suits of chainmail
1 masterwork siangham
3 javelins
1 cloak of resistance +1
1 ring of protection +1
and... i'm updating the xp table now
Jian Xi's family will be revealed in time. I have a lot of plans, but they're sort of long-term plots.
also, sorry about the delays. I thought I had given you guys enough stuff to work with. Then, I re-read my post and realized that, no, I was very very wrong. Life has been somewhat crazy of late, but I shall persevere!!!!

I don't think I have access to the loot table. Could you open it up for editing, GM?
Can you remind me - what do we know about Jiao Xi at this point? To measure if she can be rehabilitated?
we know that she was a student at the Iron Temple
she came to Shenmen to test her strength and learn more kungfu.
She ended up working for the Stag Lord as one of his bandits
She is, apparently, the gal in charge
She says she's willing to switch sides to get stronger
ok, i shall make updates today after work. Planned yesterday but fell asleep at the computer. *sigh*
ugh.... i need to take a vacation. 7 days a week straigh work ain't cutting it. certainly not 6a to 8p every night. or almost every night
Ha. Ha. Ha.
I *am* going to singapore and Kuala lumpur in march. so.. there is that
DMash, I will be unavailable for a week or so. Please bot my character if necessary.
no pob bob
Okay. Plotting out next steps.
Xiang would like to expand his magic repertoire. The mountain villages might not be bad, although we may just want to continue exploring the surrounding area, working our way towards them.
Works for me! I'll get on it tomorrow. I have a robotics completion. I thought i could balance it all out. Behold my success. :(.
I have another competition on the 11th. So time will spike next weekend, then I'll go back to a more sedate schedule.
Just to clarify: explore mountain villages has 2.5 votes, and .5 votes for exploring area up to villages.
OK.
Xiang, how do you want to expand magic repertoire? Just learn new spells?
I think the village would be a good idea, I need to find ninja for my future spy ring after all. Hayashi get to work building my information web...err fox den yea that's better we already have spider issues.
Now that paizo seems stable, I'll update
Learn new spells, find/purchase scrolls. All the things I need to add spells to the spell book.
Coming up for air from law school. How's it going over here?
Hey, Baolin! Was worried! Things are good Ganga decided they wanted to try to expand for a group of spies and stick it tot he man by cutting off a supply of shinobi.
Speaking of: am on my way to work right now, will need to make updates tonight. Sorry about the delays on my end. We have our last regional competition on Wednesday. Then things will die down until January/February.
Did we ever decide what to do with the loot? If possible I'd like to take one of the long swords.
I think you just decided what to do with the loot
:-p
I have thoroughly dropped the ball on the loot, which is one of the myriad ways at which I excel in the art of sucking. I've unlocked editing so anyone with the link (up at the top) can do it.
GM could not do it because I created the file.
Update tonight after work. Meant to do it yesterday, but life intervened

@GM: Hu Baolin (at the beginning of the game) mentioned that Qinglong is part of the Great Celestial Dragon (now weakened and split), which is now five parts (nearly the number of people in our party, and the elements of Tian magic).
I suspect Baolin himself represents the element of wind or wood (due mostly to the allusions to an uplifting wind or the stability and potential of wood in his disposition and actions, respectively), but will leave it for him to correct me.
Hayashi belongs to the Kage Ryuu Clan (Shadow Dragon Clan), ever since the beginning of the game.
I therefore wanted to know if Hayashi could manifest a part of the Celestial Dragon. Since his abilities have been swinging between fighting and healing (and considering his class and background), the element of water is very appropriate.
What do you think, GM?
More updates tomorrow. ... Apparently "slower life" means nothing changes for me. Sigh
Hayashi, your thing sounds cool, but I'm barely conscious. Will respond more in depth when I think more clearly
Good question!
Thanksgiving, I'll be off island for 4-5 days, I'll haz internet thanks to phone, but I'll also be getting my fun on with friends.
December18-January 4 I'll be off island. Same deal as above, just longer time.
March 14-28. I'll be in Singapore and Malaysia. Internet will be... Spotty at best. And, to be perfectly honest, I probably won't give a damn about gaming while I'm there.
So, vacations are happening!

That is good. I've been feeling you've been burnt out lately.
Besides, I got to wait for the rest to post anyhow.

It's the life of a teacher. You get involved in projects with your kids and then little things like keeping house, food, or sleeping just slip by
hey, i'm heading off island until Sunday for Thanksgiving. I'll have my phone so I can do posts, but they'll be spotty at best. So... Happy Thanksgiving!
So I'm not sure why we're here or what we want from her. Anyone know?

She's behind the assassinations, wants us dead, and has been opposing us since day 1. Zan and Rong are from here, and we need to pacify her.
I suggest eliciting information from her through talking about our travels and mission, but also withholding information and testing her. Interrogation, basically.
She's being polite so far, but Hayashi is ready for the worst should things go south.
Hi, sorry I haven't been very clear on what's going on but Hayashi summarized it up prett well.
Updates tonight
Heehee
Post it?
Oh yea, she wants a fight if you want to lead the way I'll join you.
Just make sure you back me up from the shadows this may hurt....but Jian Xi's sense of right and wrong won't let him stand and listen to her anymore.
