My apologies but posting is getting harder for me as I deal with IRL pain.
Now talk is about getting an operation, though no one can tell me where si this operation is supposed to be targeted at.

Also I'm currently in a losing fight with my back injury flaring up again so am on pain meds and can sometimes be found facedown on my keyboard. So.....just to let you know in case there's a string of letters posted..
Ginza bows to the rest and then does what they knew he would do. He first releases his terrifying aura and then descends with a spell of flight.
Shields are shattered and spears find no purchase on this warrior.
Ginza does nothing, waiting for something to happen instead.
Ginza nods having left men whose minds were near shattered after he had unleashed his aura. "We can either take and hold the eye directly or go through unseen and ensure that they are unable to close the eye as they wish on their side."
"I'll obtain intelligence on what we are likely to face and the best way to gain entry into their lands."
Ginza is waiting to see if the latest set of foes are fellow players too.
"Then can we see them? I'd like to study them if we're taking on their forms."
"Could we speak with these prisoners that you have." Ginza speaks up from the back.
"That is what we are here for, your grace." Ginza responds
Unlike those who are not in the guild, few knew of how fast a reading speed that Ginza posses and combined with a near photogenic memory augmented with the system. Add that Ginza was currently in his combined form which means there was in effect 4 minds working in conjunction on reading the books and proves that reading a book takes barely 5 minutes. Ginza consumes the book's content with a fearsome speed. Adding them to his vast store of recipes already committed to his own memory and knowledge and sifts out those he already knew while taking in those he didn't which wasn't many. It seemed clear that the knight was likely to finish reading the entire library before the Summons for the Audience was granted.
"Culinary!!" comes Ginza's instant reply.
Ginza doesn't do much except follow the rest as he considers the difference this world with the world they knew once as a game. Time difference aside, it seemed that everything would have being what the game would have being when it underwent their updates or would have.
Taking a week's break from all my games with great apologies. I have fractured my finger. It involved a lego piece, a hop, another lego piece and stairs.
Ginza having rejoined the party and reapplying all his suppression to himself browses the stalls. Enjoying the many available food as he remembers their reciepes.
Ginza seeing his team's decision nods and breaks away from the group. Once done....................... The atmosphere suddenly seems colder as Ginza drops his disguise entirely. His release on his aura fills the empty void that has appeared around him enveloping everything in it's icy tendrils of fear. The air seems hot yet cold at the same time and an oppressive feeling creeps onto those who remain in his vicinity. Turning his piercing emotionless flaming eyes on the group, he makes sure to hold their attention and he brings out his weapon with a slow yet intentional drawing of the blade. Pointing in the direction away from the group, Ginza finally speaks but a single word. "F L E E!!!"
Ginza looks a the prostrating ones. "What are we going to do with them?" he asks. "We can't be recruiting everything we see right?" he says to no one in particular though he does notice some of his party members leaving.
"I welcome that suggestion but do anyone of us speak their language? Would they speak ours? " Ginza is amendable to Lady Ekaterina's suggestion even as he rejects the meat in his mind as not worth in a crusine.
Ginza checks the meat of the creatures to test if they would make good cooking...... The next encounter though upon finding the group, he waits to see if the party has anything. "Do we wish to engage with them or scare them away?"
Ginza shrugs and joins the others, drawing his lesser blade as he does so. Deeming the creatures not worth Torment's Edge.
Yea I just ran with it for fun and didn't expect it to snowball. Let's just go rescue or find a dwarven king. It beat rescuing some elven Sorcerous Damsel or something.
Ginza updates the what he knows from eavesdropping. "Lady Ekaterina first broaches the possibility of hiring some of the elves as guards for our lands. Some how the negotiations went from retainer fees to having the entire tribes move into more hospitable lands. And I do not know how we'll get them there. They seem able and willing to migrate enmasse overland. Unless it's not what her intention was, maybe she'll inform us."
Ginza too adds in his two cents. "I'm not sure about how many more dwarvish outposts but I guess all of you should be informed that we have new tenants. A whole tribe of them numbering a few hundreds." his amusement is plain in his voice.
Ginza lays back and watches as Lady Ekaterina somehow from hiring a few warriors to server talk the the elves into moving their tribes into more lucrative grounds and serve them as vassals as well in exchange for a rich and lush forest with rich hunting grounds and yet letting them contract out as mercenaries if they wished. It seems to him as the rate the negotiations are going.
Ginza lays back as he studies the elves. Considering what they've being doing would having these elves on their lands be good? In fact why hire them? It might be better for them to relocate, tribe and all. They did have the space after all. It would make hunting easier as well.
What? So we're actually poor? lol.
I do believe that Lady Ekaterina is going to recruit them into out growing forces. While the others make in roads into the dwarf forces.
Ginza observes the elves as they partake of his simple repast and as
It's amazing what one could do with simple fare and condiments.
Berries, Herbs, dried Jerky soften in boiled water seasoned with wild mushrooms with a dash of pepper and salt. Ginza is ready for their guests and he does it via mind speech towards Lady Ekatrina.
"Ready."
And Ginza has done his part.
Ginza responds swiftly. "Common fare 10 minutes tops. Roast boar and such half an hour with some magical help. Or Forest blessings" he counts off as he runs through the quick and easy recipes.
"Yes. But in the game though they had an alliance. The game promised to be different in that regards. What has changed over the years? I remember doing a quest that needed me to broker and mediate a reconciliation between a caravan of dwarfs and trading post of elves due to other Human interference. Apologies Lady Ekaterina for using you as a relay. Should we gather instead?"
Rejoining the others, Ginza remarks in his mind.
Ginza waits for his allies to do what they need to do and if they would need him.
Ginza profile is updated.
"I have no need to rest as you well know so If need be I can take watch as well as be outside to not take up space." Ginza replies as he waits for their scouts to return.
Got to handle a spot of RL over the weekends.
"A door that leads to another space? And a direct one too to operate." Ginza lets the others know surprised that there's such a thing. He observes the contents for a while before he picks out something.
lol. I wish for the below that I can use with no Ill effects on myself. Amulet of Uncanny Defense
Ginza catches sight of Dominique's signal and rides towards the archway. Once there, he studies it.
Merry Christmas to all of you!!!
"I'll ride through the forest. Might make for a scenic ride." Chuckles Ginza as he prepares to summon his mount.
"I'm fine with either though I wonder if the other side has started making their movements as well." muses Ginza.
Ginza enjoys the dwarves company finding them a straight forward folk. With Dominque's actions though, it seems that it was time to move on.
Ginza on his part partakes of the food and drinks. Giving his own views on them and guessing their ingredients.
He picks up the information gathered from Ekaterina's skillful prodding and asks one of his own. "Is there ever a time where you needed to rescue your own troops from the enemy?"
Happy Birthday Wolf!
Ginza simply nods where appropriate and joins the rest.
Ginza shrugs having no opinion for or against the dwarves. He lets the others do the talking unless he finds something else interesting.
The Skeleton knight smiles. "No. It's an artifact from when this was a game. It's a helm yet able to do more then disguise. It's the Helm of Soren. One of the unique Quest rewards."
The trip is but moments as Ginza barely reviews a common recipe in their world, ice cream, but is treated as a rare recipe in this one when he's told they've reached. "Didn't take too long to get here." he remarks as he climbs out of the bag resuming the form of his elven knight. Keeping the helm closed though, he nods to Dominique as he flies off to announce their arrival. Seeing him return after a matter of minutes, he waits to see if there's anyone else looking to ask any questions.
