I want to apologize to those who I have threads with. I will be AFK for much of the weekend (as I was this week) as I am helping efforts to organize here in STL. I thank and appreciate your patience. There are times RL demands immediate attention.

"His insights on what a samurai should be are most inspiring. It is my hope to be a shining example of his teachings."

"I have been a most devout follower of him. I have so much to learn and I am thankful for his guidance. Have you had the opportunity to study strategy with Akodo-no-Kami?"

"Thank you. That is most kind." she joined him as requested.

"You've met with Akodo-kami?"

Makime Mineko was punctual as ever. She announced herself in her perfect, polite military tone.

"Good afternoon. I am Makime Mineko, reporting to your invitation." she bowed deeply.

Mineko looked for the path Ninube spoke of but it seemed a bit difficult to discern where to step next.

"I doubt that I can. I will try to poke the ground to see where there is stability to walk on."

"No. It wasn't here before." Ninube called from a little ways away from the Hantei. She waves to the two samurai. "Hey, I'm Ninube of the Spider Clan."

"I am Makime Mineko of clan Lion." she replied.

"Greetings." Mineko stated followed with a bow. "I was studying this terrain as it was not on any of our maps. It is possible our scouts missed it."

Mineko started her search, waving the others to follow her. It wasn't long before she found what was three large Wani (Crocodiles) and 1 large hebi (snake) in a river in the swamp. They seemed to be preoccupied with something. Mineko merely pointed to where the game was. (( Hunting/Perception + Void...

Makime Mineko also was searching for a path through the swamp. It still greatly bothered her that this swamp was not on the maps at all. Still she found herself searching for any logistical reason for it being here.

Outside of LM, Mineko is available.

"Alright then, we can try the stream first," she responded, turning to face where she had first appeared. "If we go that way, there's an uncovered path of dry ground that heads to the left, and if we follow that back there should be this really big aged oak, and from there a little bit to the right...

"The stream would be better to start. Most animals would gather there."

"Morning. Up for a hunt? Best not to run around alone in places like this. Poisonous creatures and dangerous terrain," he replies, moving to greet her with a wave. "Yes. I would be up for a hunt...in this strange swamp." She took notice of the new woman who arrived. "Greetings. I am Makime Mineko. ...

Mineko was still acclimating herself to this strange swamp that seemed to appear from nowhere. She read the maps and it bothered her that this terrain was not on the maps. Still, she decided to try to make the most of it. To clear her mind, she decided to go hunting. Mineko took notice of the rather...

"An interesting plan. It may give us the time we need to form a one cohesive unit. Though I must ask, who would take the lead and who would be field or skirmish leaders?"

Mineko's tilted her head slightly in thought then replied. "Wu-sama. What you speak is true. We are all different with unique backgrounds. What you speak of does not have to be improbable or impossible lest we act now. We must not look at this endeavor as single, individuals. We must look at this as...

Mineko gave a deep bow to each of them.

"A pleasure to meet all of you. I am happy that Akodo-no-kami saw fit to send me. I hope to share any tactical knowledge that will help us be successful in our endeavor."
