Arcata screwed up her persuasion check, which I stated in my post was because she came off as being haughty. She did address the crowd at one point. I don't think he's referring to U'Tempei's words, but rather Arcata's.

Limping on her hurt leg, Mei grimaces and carefully moves further into the house to get a peek into the back rooms and see what lies within. "He could have set traps before he died," she points out softly to Shendra. "And a spirit out of balance can affect the world around them, even if they do...

Mei Ying moves cautiously up to the door, but pauses there to let doughtier people in ahead of her. Thus far nothing more threatening than rot in old wood was appearing, but if this place was special to the yokai, it could very well turn up to try to ward them away. How bad that would be...

Hehe, sorry for the absences. I don't PLAN to be away, I swear...

Also sorry, also posting, hehe

I do understand. I sometimes feel that way just about making posts as a player, and those are comparatively easy next to a GM post. Take care of yourself. Do what you gotta do.

Mei Ying's stomach turns at the sight of these grotesqueries, and she immediately wonders if perhaps THIS is what the yokai had been lamenting. Monsters stalking the very streets! She hurried past Teea, to a spot where she had a clear view of the two of them in a straight line. Holding her...

"I am never unarmed," Mei-Ying assures Shendra as she follows her out.

"Monsters?" Mei-Ying asks, perking up. "What sort?" She nods at Teodor then, knowing where would also be helpful. Initiative: [roll0]

Gavien, yes. I narrated him briefly in my post. He's keeping his association with her on the down-low for the moment so he can sniff around without attracting attention. But he can help out with this, I think.

Mei Ying sat up straighter, her interest abruptly piqued. "Thassalonian runes? Criminal gangs are using these runes as markings? How peculiar. Where did they even find such things to copy, I wonder." She taps a long, delicate finger on the tabletop three times in rapid succession, then nods...
