Heavenfall

The smirk was familiar. "I did say 'If' Sakuro." He stood up slowly and started working through some full body stretches. The Lion seemed to stir too. "The alternative is to worry about being unprepared. I feel that we do not belong here, so I look forward to facing the future, and then returning to...

She might end up doing a lot of nothing. XD

nothing or Nothing?

"They built their civilisation without any assistance from us." He looked up into the sky. "If we do not hinder them I expect they will do just fine."

"I expect the nezumi will prove to be our most important allies on this whole adventure." He looked around and then shrugged. "They live with this every day. We are but visitors."

Nadare wiggled his fingers. "Magic."

"Some were, but we managed to help all of their wounded." He looked off into the distance. "The landscape has changed. It only makes sense that the creatures would change with it." He reached over and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Be careful Saruko. The closer we get to our destination the greater...

He seemed satisfied at her face-pulling and chuckled as something popped in his shoulder. "Oh that's better." A hand scratched at his stubble. "Most enlightening. They are a hardy...people. I tended to their wounded with Anjing Xia. Miyako of the Chinsei engaged them in conversation and spoke eloque...

"No, you just wouldn't smoke them. Frying? Absolutely." He winked at her and started to carefully stretch out his muscles.

"How long was I sitting there? Hmm. Did you hear about our successful adventure with the Crippled Bone nezumi today? It was most interesting."

Yawning widely he ran the fingers of his right hand through his hair, rubbing the skull. "I have had worse." Blearily he started doing some breathing exercises. "I was having nightmares. Vile things. But I fought them off. And then... It was like I was on the edge of some grand discovery." His eyes ...

"Wha?" Blearily he turned to focus his eyes on the source of the poking. Absently he swatted at the stick but kept missing. Eventually he just waved his hand in front of his face. "I was so close... To... Well I'll probably never know now." He started to move and winced as bones, tendons, cartilage ...

The Nezumi looked confused and said something in its own language that may not have even made sense to other Nezumi. With a nod he looked over at the other Nezumi. "You may find your friend here speaking in colours for the next 12 hours. It will keep him occupied while he should be resting." Nadare...

One extra batch of herbs from me.

Also a successful set of rolls

It was simple enough to find the right herbs to ward off nightmares even this far from the lands he knew. Nadare collected enough material to help another traveller should they wish it. After smoking the leaves he could feel his inner reserves of strength renewed. The nightmares came, but they washe...

Meanwhile, back in the medical tent... "You know, I once gave first aid to a bear." He placed the needles into a small jar before adding his sterilizing concoction and swirling them around. "But that is a story for another time." He patted the ratling on its shoulder and moved on to the last patien...

I got the powah.

Yay, nice one Hanzou! So we need one last roll vs TN35?

My best is 8k5 with Void. I'm happy to try or pass to someone with a better pool

Meanwhile, back under cover "Fascinating technique Togashi-san, might I suggest-" A nearby rat squeaks loudly in pain "Uh, what I was going to say was-" It squeaks again "....I'll be right back." Nadare chuckled and continued his work. "Unfortunately my nezumi language skills are nonexistent. Now. ...

Truly, we are samurai doctors without borders.

Brilliant

Medicine man

"Ah. Thank you friends." With a polite smile he took a hat and placed it on his head at a jaunty angle. The cloak was thrown over his exposed skin, which felt strange and uncomfortable. He listened as they walked. Once they were inside the frame Nadare nodded at Miyako's eloquent explanation and beg...
