(IRR) The Rokugan IR (Turn 1)

[Serpenteye]

The primary good is a luxury, so finding-burning-and removing the tainted tea isn't very difficult.

Serpenteyes...



That thought would be considered meta-gaming under this situation. You are *probably* right, but then again your powers ability to determine the exact strength increase higher-tech weapons have given the dwarves isn't very accurate. Also, they could be investing part of their power in PL/IR or Tech Development.

I never finished the map for you, but I am implementing use of that particular element right now, as it was influenced by some actions.

Of course it would be meta-gaming, I was speaking Ooc, however and I'm not using the knowledge I have Ooc IC. I'm willing to resume working on the map, but I'll need to know where the new nation (s?) you have created are located so that our visions won't contradict. Perhaps you could e-mail me this information.

What do you think about my thoughts concerning the trade rules?

 

[Creamsteak]

Yes... I have an idea of how to do the trade rules in a much more controlled way... but I need to make sure the equations (just 2) work right under all circumstances. I'll update you on such progress...

Oh, and the only added faction that I've created is... I'll email you about it. It's just 1, so it isn't very difficult to adjust for.

 

[Knight Otu]

Isawa Akahita and Shiba Temuro appear near the Scorpion lands, requesting an audience with Bayushi Nori.

A letter is sent to the Hare clan, asking them to provide witnesses of the attack as well as at least one of the accussed priests so that they can give testimony. These witnesses and priests are promised protection from the Scorpion for the duration of the talks, and are escorted by 2 PL of troops from the Shiba family, if neccessary.

 

[Lichtenhart]

"Lixue-san, your help and that of the Unicorn is greatly appreciated and welcome. Is there anything you need our immediate help with?"

"Akahita-sama, the Khan's greater concern is the safety and the well being of the heirs. he is eager to offer the strenght to defend them, if you can provide the wisdom. If you can locate them or the places where the jade plant grows, it will be my duty to go there with the speed of a thought and come back safely."

 

[Knight Otu]

"According to the reports I have heard, the plant grows in an untainted region surrounded by the Shadowlands. It would be a dangerous journey if you tried to reach the place. It shows your courage that you are willing to undertake it. Maybe we can offer some protection."

"The heirs seem to be in Mantis and Scorpion lands. I will travel to the Scorpion soon on the matter of the attacks on the Hare, but the Mantis did not even react to the letter I sent them. It seems that they are ... unhappy about some earlier letters."

Creamsteak, is it possible for me to provide protection from the Taint the same way as I managed to scry on the attackers? Assinging a number of PL devoted to the protection?

 

[Creamsteak]

Seems fine with me.

 

[Creamsteak]

Slight update:

Reports of 'rescue' operations to find the heirs are still going on. Some information says that the heirs currently known are false? Hrm...

Also, A group of shugenja are attempting to gather more of the resources that can naturally treat taint, but I need Sollir to post if he is doing anythin about this after the first successful attempt by the clans... Darkwolf can post his reaction for sollir (who has not posted all week).

 

[Lichtenhart]

"I don't fear the Taint. The strenght of the Shiotome, the Battlemaidens, my honorable ancestors will protect me. But any help you can offer to keep me and my men unnoticed is welcome."

 

[Knight Otu]

"The Phoenix will help you in any way we can. We will help you in entering the Shadowlands unnoticed, as well as shielding you from the Taint. I do not doubt your resolve, but the Taint is insidious and even jade may sometimes be insufficient."

OOC: Creamsteak, I will devote the same PL to shielding and hiding the Unicorn troops entering the Shadowlands as I did for the scrying, with the exception of what I wrote in the e-mail to you. Since it is an uneven number, I'll devote the larger half to hiding the Unicorn, and the other to shield them from the taint, unless Lichtenhart requests a different setup.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Still here like 10 times a day just sneaking around hehe. Just thought be nice to know that I'm not gone or on low activity.
