The New Winds

Thanks for running the game. It was a lot of fun.

Mai's more interested in the Mantis as a Great Clan. Not that she would scoff at such an arrangement. She just wouldn't think of it.

((If armor has no downsides for shugenja, Mai would grab some.))

Results tie!

Even = option 1, odd=option 3: 1d100 4

Option 1 wins!

I think the Kolat had a hand in this result.

Mai approached Akodo Eiko and received her wakizashi. She had some regret that she didn't get a chance to meet him and show how her knowledge of war had grown. But there will be other times. She chose the name Aiko. The old general seemed a little surprised. And then she realized the similarities to...

HAs anything in part 2 changed Mai's stance on becoming a mercenary? Well, she had a discussion in Part 1 that dissuaded her a bit. She still wants to, but recognizes the Lion are probably uninterested as they just view the mercs as cannon fodder. She's not quite sure what to do with herself. Favor...

OOC: From my understanding with my PM's with Vutall, weapons, ship, and scrolls can't be taken without honor loss. Everything else is more or less fair game.

"I am well. I am Aiko now. Why don't we go to Kuni-san's room? We talk there. He already left, and I was about to make some tea."

No real questions. Just saying Mai has been sending Otoko letters and the occasional gift. She still remembers her dojo friend.

Hope to get more time with Mirai in the next game.

I definitely plan on bringing Mai back as long as I can. Ask if you have any questions that I can answer at least.

Aiko came out of Yotsou's room and approached the Phoenix. "Asako-san." Her eyes widen a bit, but she covered with a bow. "It is good to see you." Was that the right thing to say? Best to just act normally. "My room had issues, so they moved me."

Mai nods. "It was an honor. I learned much from Akodo-sama. I admit, before his teachings, I never questioned my path. But now, I wonder if there is a different ship out there for me."

"We have the ship captain's journal. There appears to be some clues of what was going on." Mai holds up the journal

Mai steps forward. Ready to speak after Toshi is down with the Mantis. Mai blinks in surprise and Satsume's ghost. But gives no other reaction.

Mai's blush at his flourish is not hid well.

((Sweet. My inability to read works out. Yay!))

OOC: I'm an idiot who can't read. I thought there was 200 Koku. There was only 100. Everyone gets 10 Koku. Not 20.

"Ye healed us, dropped th' enemy t' th' floor, 'n snatched th' samurai that plotted against our Clan. It only reinforces how much I reckon ye're cool . I did manage t' break th' ice around, didn' I?" He starts to laugh and raises his eyebrow to offer for the last time, "Me Freezin' Queen o' th' War...

Mai had not meant to turn this into a gift giving ceremony, but apparently it was. "I was hardly magnificent. It was the others who carried the day. I just helped them. And froze you in the river."

"Where ye lookin' fer this?" Kokyou says, as he takes a wet gaijin crown from his attached traveling pack.

Mai gives a laugh. Good to do so after such a fight. "No. Not yet." She really wished she could think of something cleaver. But clearly, that was Kokyou's specialty. Not hers.

Mai looked at the weapons to see if she could figure out anything about them (origin, smith, etc.).
