"I don't know." Taiko answered honestly.
"I didn't even know Jade was protective until a few days ago. Or especially HOW it's protective?" Stroking his chin he pondered for a few moments, losing himself in his thoughts.

"Sharp, black rock. A little fragile for long blade, but knives, arrows work well."
"It's hard to find though, so I don't have any here."

Re: (D5 LM) Good Invention, Yes-Yes!
"Yes, bow generally beats rock." Taiko replied dryly. "Better range, better control, better power."
"But Jade is far too soft to be effective in a weapon. Some obsidian is nice and sharp?"

Re: (D5 LM) Good Invention, Yes-Yes!
Taiko's brow furrowed as he walked a little closer.
"Sorry to be the one to tell you, but that ain't jade there buddy."
And these are the creatures so technologically advanced from us? he thought to himself.

Re: (D5 LM) Good Invention, Yes-Yes!
It was a terrain that Taiko was fairly unfamiliar with, and he thought that some of the hardier vegetation might prove useful as simple bindings or maybe a new kind of arrow shaft. Either way, his curiosity got the better of him as it lured him out, out to see a rat with a rope and a rock. "Well I s...

Re: [D3-LA]Cooking for the Spider(expecting)
Looking up from a mouthful of food, Taiko responds simply.
"Should we? We weren't told to acquire any before we came. It's not real useful in our line of work, pretty, but not real functional."

Re: The Swamp of Sorrows [D5 LN]
Taiko was so swept up in his vision that he wasn't aware of the plights of the others until they had already all been dragged out of the muck. Glancing around, he saw talk of heading back to camp, so moved to take a point position, torch and sword at the ready. "The sooner away from here the better....

Re: The Swamp of Sorrows [D5 LN]
The guards at the camp raised eyebrows as Taiko left the camp in his bedclothes. Torch in one hand and sword in the other he followed the sound of the voice, the sound of his sister into the darkness. "Tai-chan, this isn't like you. Where are you?" Just a little farther...like when we used to hunt f...

Re: D3 EA - An Unexpected FInd
"Mostly weapons. I am merely a journeyman however, so am only now starting to create pieces of my own. Truth be told I had heard rumors of these allies of ours, these rat creatures and their metalwork being more advanced than ours." He shrugs in acceptance. "I am not too proud to learn from the ways...

Re: [D3-LA]Cooking for the Spider(expecting)
Reiko's order got a small eyebrow raise from Taiko as he reached for the fish Mai graciously offered, but he wasn't socially adept enough to politely steer the conversation.
He just looked at RIki and shrugged.
"Good fish?"

Taiko shook his head. "I have seen others do it, but other than pulling splinters and treating light burns from the forge? No, Reiko, I have no such skills."

Re: D3 EA - An Unexpected FInd
Now comfortable in the presence of another travelling warrior, Taiko smiled.
"That is why we Bat have come as well. Although I imagine we'll see more use in support. Mai and I are smiths first, warriors second. I understand your people are quite noted metalworkers as well?"

"Taiko, Ryoshun Taiko." He responds in return, taking a few steps closer to Kyosei and pointing to hinself.
Shaking his head at the offered food, Taiko relaxes slightly. "You with the expedition too then?"

Re: D3 EA - An Unexpected FInd
Taiko jumps slightly as he is startled by the sudden appearance of another in the clearing.
"Who is it who wants to know?" He asks, obviously defensively, but taking no hostile actions yet.

Re: D3 EA - An Unexpected FInd
A shiver passes through Taiko, though he knows not why and puts it down to a fleeting breeze. See, that wasn't so hard was it...If you put your mind to it you're even almost competent sometimes...SOMETIMES... Until his sister's voice sends a different shiver through him, as usual.

Re: D3 EA - An Unexpected FInd
Taiko took his time with his creation, spending almost an hour making a small but sturdy and waterproof roof over the stone using sticks, leaves and vines to tie it all together. Stepping back and looking over his work he nodded contentedly. It wasn't anything fancy, but unless someone took the time...

D3 EA - An Unexpected FInd
Taiko had been wandering the forested area for a little while now, seeking a perfect shaft for the yari he was making. It was pure chance that his eyes caught sight of a beam of sunlight that seemingly penetrated the canopy and exposed the small clearing. A clearing with what appeared to be a graves...

Puttering around inside his tent which was next to Mai's, Taiko emerged to see that the first of his clansmate's invited guests had arrived. "Sorry Mai, I can't find the....oh hello." He hastily changes his tone and manner when he sees company. "Yes this is she and I am Ryoshun Taiko, welcome to our...
