I would wish to get both through, so maybe some kind soul could aide with the last point needed.

Earth focus, and maybe Defense keyword? Actually, 3E Tamori Shugenja might be something to go with the defensive role, as it was about boosting Armor TN? *thinking* Most of my spells are Defense keyword, so that was the main idea. And I did have a good look at the Tamori 3E Shugenja school since it...

Chizu and I would be very thankful if we could pull this one off this time around. It might take a few games to get the shugenja school out otherwise, especially since from what I read the next game is a 90% probability death scene. I've read through some of the canon existing schools, and even into...

I still think that it shouldn't be faction oriented and that it should focus on something else, like Bushido, or one per element (but then it would be too few). And that the number should make sense with superstition.

I know Japanese are very picky with numbers, so I did a bit of google search and 9 is an awful number for Japanese because ku (九 – nine), sounds like ku (苦 – suffering, agony or torture). So I would actually go with a different number, maybe 8. Although slightly less well-known, eight is also a luck...

"Your words are true, Nozomi-san, I just could not find the word to denominate them in this new world since not only farmers, but lumbers, miners, craftsmen, road makers... they are too many and the caste system has separate them already. I guess less favored caste could be a better way to refer to ...

"The strength of my clan will help the Bat focus on their duty at hand. Nonetheless I would offer my own life to Ryoshun hime if she were to ask, and would bring with me as many Crab strong hands as I could of course. I also got to know Bayushi Sasori-sama a bit, and know that she is wise in spiritu...

"Do you suppose that we are the main target? I wonder how the lower castes will do against an attack such as this one without having access to the wards, to the strong will training that we samurai and monks get in our daily routines. We must find the way that they were able to attack in this manner...

"I'll very much look forward to the exchange," Gusai replies. "I do still have to come eat at your table, and there're some things I think'll be of use and delight for you that I can get up that way." "I will make sure to fulfill your appetite, Otomo Gusai-sama, of course it will be a pleasure to s...

"Just like that one that just knocked you on the face." She started to laugh. "I guess kids can't change."

"Darkness will always try to find it's way. It has a yearning, greedy, hungry realm looking for a way to destroy and cause chaos." She sighed, another enemy to be prepared against. "Their main gate was broken, they probably are looking for new ways to reach us, and that would be the cause of their n...

“It appears that a conflict is indeed on the horizon… The enemy seeks to attack us through the realm of dreams currently. Makes it difficult to know where to prepare… The preparation must be internal, first.” "I understand." The samurai-ko knew little on spirit realms, especially on the dream realm...

Kinsen wrinkles her nose to in a smile to Sagara as the Crab takes care of the Stag. She says, excitedly, "It is the most fun I've had this winter so far. These beast children are formidable adversaries." A smirk rose around her cheeks, "and yet I would say that we have taught them a lesson or two ...

After his own bow, Gusai smiles broadly, inhaling. "That's great!" he avers. "You'll get to see some of the things you said you wanted to!" He leans in, mock-conspiratorially. "And I may even be able to show you some more of them!" "That would be exciting." She winked back with an eager smile. "We ...

Gusai thinks back over what he recalls of the maps he's seen. He nods. "Westerly, then," he says. "Quite a ways inland." "The lands of the Crab are found in the interior. As much as it extends it is still away from the coast." Sagara bows to Sasori as she continues her duties as hostess. "For the t...

Sagara rose from her meditation and there was a friend before her, but with some worry in her eyes. Her eyes lost observing nothing and yet...

"Good afternoon sister Nozomi-san. How are you feeling today?" There was a bit of worry in her own words.

-Meditation/Void. TN20: 26 - 2 Void recovered

Taken out from the front lines after a massive assault, Kinsen gets dizzied, and covered in white, to the command center. She tumbles and then falls nearby Ayano. After spitting some snow from her mouth, she says, with widened eyes, "They are beasts. Beasts!" Sagara cleared some of the snow from Ki...

"Chilling." She pointed out as a shiver went down her spine. She had not faced many demons, she had seen a few creatures from the southern lands, but a demon, and at the court!! "How... how could they had gone into the court. Measures need to be put into place to make sure that this does not happen ...

Gusai takes another pull from his sake. "Tell me, Anjing-san, if you would," he continues, "whereabouts in the Crab lands do you live? I know that north-to-south there's not much spread--but there is east to west." "In my case I lived mostly in the lands of the Anjing, close to the Hida since our d...

Gusai nods thoughtfully, trying to steer his mind away from thoughts even he knows are distracting. "I remember," he says, "there'd been some suggestion that the Crab were going to try to establish a trading port north of Spider lands. It's been a while, I admit, but I wonder if you know whether an...
