Yep, I'm with what the others have all said. Making sure you and your family have somewhere to live is waaaay more important Ed. So, don't you worry about us. Hope everything works out.

Elanriel Apologies all for being rather quiet again, just the usual situation of getting overly occupied by RL stuff. Ed, sorry to hear about your trials. Hope you're gradually getting things sorted out. Elanriel will position herself slightly ahead of Del and Therick, to defend them, and will atta...

Elanriel Elanriel nods. As always, her friend, the priestess, speaks good sense. "Maybe we thhould athk him about hith kin rather than the Queen," Elanriel proposes. "He doethn't theem to know much about her, and for the moment it ith the Goblinth we have to avoid. How many of them a...

Sorry for being quiet, I've been a bit tied up with other things again. Yes, that sounds about right. I'm happy with that. I think there's a question of when exactly to leave the boat and proceed on foot, which is primarily dependent on the terrain. I get the impression that it will need to be rela...

Aiko

Aiko nods. As Kenta dives, she keeps her katana ready and warily watches the water for signs of danger.

Elanriel Elanriel joins the others in the 'ambush'. Long Sword 1w fighting: [1d20+2]=2+2=4 to hit, damage: [1d8+2]=3+2=5 Hmm .... Perhaps this new sword isn't much better at hitting things after all. ooc: I didn't add any extra bonus for the new sword as I don't think I know what it is yet (only 'b...

Aiko

Aiko keeps watch, on the water and inland, while Kenta helps Osaru.

"We should not tarry long," she advises. "The one that survived swam up river. If our enemies are in the ruins there, it may warn them."

Elanriel

Swords ready, Elanriel nods to Trist and keeps watch as Trist wakes the others. When everyone is ready, she moves just out of the circle of the camp and finds some cover, perhaps a tree just off a direct line from the goblins to the camp, and waits there to surprise them if they approach.

Elanriel

"Goblinth," Elanriel whispers, gesturing out into the darkness in the direction of the movement. "Not many. Maybe a thcouting party? What do you think we thhould do?"

She's ready to defend the others and further raise the alarm if the goblins try anything.

Aiko Aiko launches herself forward to defend her friends. Her sword flashes as she tries to drive the Kappa away from Kenta and Osaru, so Kenta can pull Osaru out of the water. She aims for the head of the Kappa that is trying to drag Osaru under. I'm aiming to do a called shot to chop off the Kapp...

Elanriel

Elanriel's happy to take any watch. Sounds most likely that it would be a later one as the earlier and middle watches seem to be covered.

Elanriel

Elanriel tilts her head to one side and gives Xlore a slightly odd look. She's not sure if he's joking about the treasure or not.

I s'pose, either way, it's good to have him along, she tells herself. It doesn't really matter what his reasons are, she decides.

Elanriel Elanriel nudges Del to make sure she's paying attention and then responds to Xlore. "If you're coming after the Evil Queen, then Kaerin thaid we thhould go northward, to Thtallanford and then on to the Black Peak Mountainth where Ilyana hath her keep. Doeth anyone know of another way?...

Getting to grips with the culture is pretty much a perennial problem with L5R. I'm actually enjoying playing this pbp because one of the things that works really well is, unlike face-to-face, it gives me a lot more time to think about how to respond to things. I also think Sean is GMing it really we...

Aiko As soon as Aiko realises her friends are in danger, she leaps out of the boat up onto the bank and goes to aid them. I figure this might need an Athletics roll, given the conditions. Athletics (4k3): [_4d10]=(7+7+6+8)=28 So, 22. If she gets the opportunity to attack, she will target whichever ...

"Does anyone mind if I take the armor and shield?"

Elanriel cocks her head to one side, considers for a moment and then shrugs. "Well, I don't uthe a thhield and the armour lookth ill-fit for anyone elthe," she acknowledges.

Elanriel At Xlore's agreement and assuming none of the others disagree or intervene, Elanriel picks up the long sword and tests its weight and balance. Slightly self-consciously, she looks along the length of the blade to check the edge is true, and then slashes the weapon through the air forehand ...

Elanriel Elanriel watches her companions sifting through the various items. Like Delsenora, many of them are of limited use to her. "Maybe, I could take the thword if you're taking the bootth, Xlore?" she suggests. It is one of the only items that she feels could really benefit her. "...

Hope she gets better soon Ed.

Elanriel Elanriel is sad to see Urtesi depart. After Delsenora, he was perhaps the closest she had come to a friend here. She is also puzzled, for to her there is a sense of things suddenly clicking into place. The threat of evil that had lurked beneath the surface all this time, niggling her from ...
