You should take some sort of pacifist disadvantage just to mix things up. "Guys, stop beating that man's face in. Oh god, did you just rip off his arm? Now you're beating him with it?!"
Didn't they teach you in those fancy war schools of yours that you should never fight at two to one odds? Crab powah!
I assume that has to come out of my own pocket.
The gift? Yes. But don't feel bad, basically bribes and gifts are all you really need to buy as a samurai.
edit: Jaysonfour will in all likelyhood be joining as player five tomorrow sometime. I'll apend basho's statement to be like "oh right that dude,"
Because leaving my sword behind is...less than ideal.
A little drawing of the boat. Four beds at your disposal, Kenji will take one every night without really thinking about not taking one. (he can be persuaded to switch out if needed) The monk, who will absolutely not speak unless spoken to meditates at the foot of kenji's bed, or bedroll as the case may be.
10 Ji-Samurai (no women, notably) crew the boat, Yoritomo Senzo, in case anyone was doubting it is a serious samurai type man like yourself. Are we all okay with skipping ahead a few day? i'll just slap on the next part of the post in that case.
Oh Valkun. So much
Peasant revolt...?
What a revolting development this could turn out to be... :P
Hmm no i'd consider it more a somewhat accurate portrayal. Roleplaying your character the way you feel is more important. Though i suppose it does carry the implication that you're too free with violence. But nah no roll required.
I made a shitty little map. You are currently near the lower right T (for town). After having had a near fight at the T in the village. The island is entirely surrounded by rock except for the beach where you landed, hence the easy blockade. Your characters saw this map on the boat, so you can orient yourselves by it etc.
edit: actually the map is pretty badass.
awareness/etiquette roll for Rei. She kind of missed something, can't say what thouuuuugh.
edit: agility+jiujutsu, for clarity's sake.
edit: 2 : Intimidation with the katana is either awareness/deceit (no honor loss) or intelligence/kenjutsu (to know what to say while waving your sword around). tn 20
We're acting on the lord of this island's behalf to investigate the rice shipments.
Besides for that, we have no real authority here and keeping the peace is the lord mayor's job right?
So, the polite thing to do would be to ignore the outburst?
Or am I way off on this line of thinking?
In any case its not your duty and any pressure you feel to get involved should only be from your character as a person. Kenji for his part isn't asking you to and he has no idea what, if anything you should do.
Assuming these are peasants, as a samurai you have every right to just slaughter them if they're bothering you. It's considered slightly rude to go killing peasants for no reason, but its really not a big deal... Especially since we're working for the mantis right now.
If you want to yell at them or physically separate them, you're well within your rights... And you don't have to ignore peasants if you don't want to. It's only samurai that you need to worry about ignoring outbursts from, since peasants dont have honour.
edit- of course, you could totally ignore me and listen to CJ, instead :P
edit: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1880622/ i rolled for intimidation, you maaade it. i'll update soon i guess.
How many raises would I need to continue eating with one hand while swinging a tetsubo with the other?
