Re: Visions of Horror [EN, D13]
The kansen came to Yoshitsune Nori in his dreams that night. A band of terrible ogres surrounded Nori, huge creatures wearing necklaces of human skulls. Their leader raised an enormous spiked club and said menacingly, “Now you die, Crab!” Yoshitsune Nori seemed unperturbed by the threat, though it c...

Re: Stag Party (D13, LE) OPEN

"ShInSeI? nO, No, i FoUnD tHeM mYSeLf, bUt ThEy ArE qUiTe ExCeLLenT fOr MeNtAl FoCuS," the Crab replied in a rambling tone. And then, he accepted a mushroom.

The Crab shugenja came by to visit as well, with a small basket full of fried mushrooms.

Re: Visions of Horror Planning
+2 doses of mushrooms to share, if anyone wants some.
If no one claims them I may just stir them into the soup at dinner time. Surely nothing could go wrong with that.

Re: (D13, EM, Open) Herbs for a relaxing pot
Nearby, a Crab in simple robes was gathering medicinal herbs as well. “Ahhh! This type of mushroom is very good,” Nori said, his eyes lighting up as he found a patch of mushrooms growing under a shady tree. “They are very good for, ahh, relaxation ,” he explained. “But one must be careful not to eat...

Re: Fishing and gathering (day 3 early morning)
"It's a fine idea," Nori agreed. "More people are flocking to Lord Hida's banner every month, so perhaps there will be some who would like to start a new village on a place with good land and good water. I'll be sure to bring it to my superior's attention when we get back to Great Mountain City, and...

Re: Tangled Web (day 11 late morning)
"Aiyyo~!" Nori exclaimed, as the webbing blackened with a terrible smell. Hurling the stick with the burned silk strands away from him, the Crab backed away from the webbed area and began a ritual of purification.

Tangled Web (day 11 late morning)
Drawn by the strange reports of the webbed area, Yoshitsune Nori approached some of the hanging drapery-like webs with caution. The Crab tested a silk strand by touching a bit of jade to it first, then sniffed at the silk to see if it had any scent. "How curious," Nori said at last. Picking up a for...

Re: Fishing and gathering (day 3 early morning)
"If there's something worth trading for, I'm sure merchants would come," Nori said philosophically. "Perhaps not for a lone settlement, but if enough people came here to found a new village...well, I'm sure it would become worthwhile."

"Jade?" Nori queried. "Ahh, yes, of course we'll need jade for protection and such. I haven't seen any in the market so far, so I'm not sure if the Nezumi have much jade at all. But then they do seem to like shiny baubles, so who knows." "Pepper? I like pepper." "Pepper and other spices really help ...

Re: Food stalls (day 7 early evening)
"Ahh, Lady Hantei, isn't it?" the Crab said, upon recognizing Kinsen. "I'm Yoshitsune Nori. Have you tried the fried melon rind?" He waved around a crescent-shaped piece of fried food acquired from a nearby stall. "Really, it's not something you'd normally think to eat, but it's ... well, not bad. G...

Food stalls (day 7 early evening)
A man in blue robes strode through the marketplace, sampling the wares from a variety of food stalls. Curious about Nezumi cuisine, Nori was willing to try a taste of almost anything. Some of it was terribly bland, but some of it was surprisingly good.

"I met Shinjo, and Hantei, a couple days ago when getting ready for this trip," Nori said. "They seemed all right, I suppose, though I can't say I know them well. Lady Shinjo seemed to have some good ideas for the route we should take on our way down south."

"It is good land here, with good access to water," Nori agreed. "I'm surprised the Seidou haven't already settled a village here. Though, I guess maybe raiders from the south would be a problem here - it's far from anyone who could help."
