Heavenfall

Well, Orokos was friendly to me that time. :lol: I think we probably can expect this to be a swarm event in which things pop out of the woods at close range and just go to town on us. But Ko is also a decent archer (though only Ref 3), in the unlikely event that archery is useful here. @Inga: Forest...

Ko’s another tanky melee gal, which from the sound of it is what we want here. (I’m also not afraid of getting knocked down, which seems likely given the event write-up... because GD )

I may hop on come time.

"Curiosity, mostly?" Ko shrugged. "To talk with humans, sometimes. In the old days when the world was young, they say they traded for many things with the other people who lived on land, but not now. I suppose they have almost everything they need." --- ((Gonna wait for Jin to have a turn after this...

"But that is easy for you to say, isn't it?" Ko, tugging on one soft leather shoe, glanced up at Ayumu from her seat on the ground. "Everyone says the Isawa tribe are very wealthy, with shamans who bind the strongest spirits anywhere, and they have the secrets of many powerful crafts. Even the Kami ...

"What do you mean, what are they like?" Ko busied herself putting her knife away again, making sure not to get any of the foul acid water on the handle or lashings. "They're people who live in the sea. I mean... they're people . It's hard to say in a few words what a whole people are like. And I onl...

"There are times when a man knows his own fate. Or a woman knows hers." Ko, lacking the social sense to stay out of this after being turned down, crossed her arms again and continued to stand proudly tall(-ish). "Even more a Kami. Hantei the Bright has spoken and I believe him."

Like most of the kami! :lol: Edit: I thought Shoji Haka's player used this excellently in the most recent Hollow Throne game, too. *hunts* Out of the blue, to a secretly-Kolat character: Motaro doesn't even glance in Iko's direction. "Put down the quill. Your masters do not need a report just yet." ...

Inventing monks/kiho might not be a thing for player effort alone, anyway. And there's definitely no hurry, we haven't even really explored all the existing character creation possibilities in the setting yet. I am starting to get attached to my originally only semi-serious suggestion of getting Ako...

"Oh, I know some of those." Ko smiled and leaned in for a closer look at the bracelet. It was the sort of thing mothers and aunts might gift to children back home--although Saruko's was probably more nicely made, since one didn't take excessive care when crafting children's ornaments out of common m...

"Hah." Ko grinned. "Same to you, I guess, Anjing Xia the poet!"

/exit?

"Flaws in... the Empire?" Ko shook her head (thus completing the unraveling of her wet chignon), brows drawing together. "I don't even know enough to judge them like that. My people..." She sighed and flopped down beside the pool, dabbling her toes in the water to un-muddy them before putting on her...

"Ugh." That was all too much like horrible parody of the tales Ko loved, in which other beings took off their beast-skin cloaks to walk among humans. "I really don't like this place." Her thin smile was wry, poking fun at herself for the extreme obviousness of this statement. She thumped her stick o...

"Like I said, they're the sea people." Ko ran her fingers through her damp, freshly tangled hair to push it out of the way... then winced slightly as the acid stung the travel-roughened skin around her fingernails. "They look... like people who live in the sea." "Hm. Here." She reached for a leather...

Matt is actually an onikage poorly disguised as an eight-foot rat.

Tell no one.

I am Shaman St'tchrik. My companion is Shaman Matt.

I am aware that "Matt" is a legitimate Nezumi phoneme, but ALSO now when I peek into this thread I keep thinking about Matt the Memory Stick Technician.

Ko has a thing to which she is unwaveringly committed and I have no idea what it's valued at. I might be looking for help?

"I don't know... sitting in shrines on high mountains? Drinking flower nectar?" Ko shrugged with a slightly embarrassed smile. "Spending their days with other gods, not mortal people." She flipped the knife over to show the other side of the handle, which was decorated with more of the same, althoug...

Ko steps forward with a wordless salute Shore People style, palm to heart and head held high. Water, flowing strongly. Rushing, surging, shifting. Ripples dance upon the surface, only to go still, reflecting the light of a full moon. The stillness deepens, as does the darkness... Shinsei frowned, a...

"Any who are unable to commune with the kami will be needed to protect them from harm in some capacity, Jigoku will not take our intrusion lightly. As for who will make the descent..." Shinsei walked to the immediate center of the group, and slowly looked around at each of those assembled. "I have ...

"You're the parent of a little child, Godswife." Ko uncrossed her arms and shot a look of concern at Kinsen. "Is that... wise?" Either way, she drew herself up in all her finery of barbaric jewelry. "I would be glad to go down, if my hands can help. Or go wherever I am sent. I came to ask a great bo...
