Like Goro, Zhiko bowed low to Bayushi-sama. She was careful to make no sound that might disturb his meditation. She dropped to her knees once more, repeating the bow before easing herself across the room to the position Goro had indicated for her. I had hoped to spend more time on my feet...

No worries; when I got home from work at 11pm last night, I wasn't exactly up to writing any responses either. :)

Dark Nemesis: I'm not quite sure what to do with the scene change you just handed me. Goro doesn't really seems the talkative sort, and I had the impression from one of your earlier comments that you prefer the players not improvise NPC dialog or scenery. Any suggestions, or should I just...

Do you really expect PC to let you off that easy? :heh:

So, Ron, was that a bit of a DM nudge, there, or what?

Zhiko inclines her head in silent acquiescence to the wishes of her daimyo, and begins to walk backward, still on her knees, to exit the room.

Just a reminder bump, in case anyone was interested but didn't reply.

"Of course, Shosuro-san. Bayushi-sama honors me by allowing me to attend this meeting. Is Tamori-san to be aware of my presence?" Zhiko did not express her regret at missing the opportunity to observe the guests more easily at the banquet. Instead, she made a mental note to speak to some of...

For any gamers in the North Houston area, there will be a get-together on Saturday, just to give us a chance to meet others who are local. This is cross-posted in a couple places, so hopefully we'll have critical mass. New China Buffet on the NW corner of I-45 at 1960. (Keymap 332K) 90 FM...

Goodness, all those prophesies sound so... depressing. :( And I was surprised by the death of the guard, as well. But hadn't he met the group (and Annika) during the ferry trip?

"I am certain that they will prove useful to the clan in many ways, Shosuro-san. I am pleased that we have so many of those who serve the other clans close at hand; we will learn much of how they think by their behavior at the festival. I suspect we will learn something of the efficiency of...

Indeed, I have often found that the women who know us best are our best protection against inflated egos. PS -- I almost phrased that in a unintentionally non-grandmother-friendly way. What was I thinking?!

Zhiro, never one to hesitate, steps silently into the room. She bend her knee as she crosses the threshold, sliding smoothly to kneel. Daito-san is already seated, it would be impolite to loom over him. She knee-walks forward with practiced ease, comfortable in the near-darkness, even without...

I've added the choker to the character sheet, as well as a link to the character portrait, and posted in the Rogues Gallery thread. I eagerly await the killing and the maiming that will surely follow.

Finally done. The writing trails off in quality a bit near the end, but I can live with it. I tried to salt a few hooks in there for you, but don't feel obligated. Good night. I'm so glad to finally be leaving work. Ugh.

Great! I'm nearly done, although because of the class overlap, I wound up going straight Ninja. (If you need me to take a level of B.D. to keep with those tie-in ideas, I can.) I'm just working on equipment at this point. Regarding the requests for additional items: I'd like you to make her...

OK, I've managed to make my way through all 109 posts of the IC thread. Amazing how many posts one can accumulate even before the game really gets moving, no? Here's my thoughts: I dont think the character I'm imagining could take over Reiko's mission very well, as she is much more of a...

I'm interested, at least tentatively. I'm working on reading the IC thread, at the moment. My first thought regarding a PC would be to bring in a replacement for Shosuro Reiko, a female Bayushi "Courtier" who has trained in her family school to eliminate threats to the empire. Essentially a...
