The Way of Sensei Wu

Of course Taka is here for this! He feels he has done well!

"That...was strange. Does anyone know what that thing was?" Taka looks over the group.

The Crane raises one eyebrow in an expression that looks more puzzled, or maybe surprised, than annoyed. "Well, Moto-san certainly seems to have made an impression with my cousin - maybe also with Sensei Wu, then?", she says with a grin. "Myself... I'm not so sure, really. I... think I might like t...

On Taka's next turn in combat, is there a way to check for some kind of illusion? He's having doubts about this monster thing.

It feels like there is a moment to finish this. Taka pushes to seize the moment. His bo collides dead on the creature. ____ Attack the creature - Fire/Melee - VP spent to seize the moment. | TN: 2 | Success: 4 / Opportunity: 0 / Strife: 1 https://sakkaku.org/media/dice/FFG/L5R/ring/exp0opp0str0suc1-...

"A thousand you say?" Taka replies. Something shifts about him. The trio is now together, and a path is open to victory. "Shall we put that to the test? Can you survive a thousand blows?" Though this might be painful. Taka attacks head on, placing the trust in the ground he has taken and the numbers...

Taka used the blow to deflect, but it's not quite enough, and the spines of the Tetsubo rake against the thick weave of his padded clothes, cutting gaps into them. "Hey, is anyone wondering why what looks like an oni is here? Is this part of a test? Those things can hit hard and you seem to be pulli...

"That obv... I mean, attachment to one's birth clan is natural and nothing to be ashamed of, but a monk must renounce their previous ties when they shave their head. We have a duty toward neutrality. And thanks you for your kind words. I'm however not sure I'm fully understanding where you're going...

"Many talents indeed, it seems, hm?", she says with an upfront smile of her own. "I wonder which one Sumire-san's songs touched most deeply!", she adds almost only as an afterthought. "Myself, though..." she lets out a sheepish grin, her eyes down for a moment before she shifts her weight cheerfull...

Taka digs his heels into Koku's sides. "Seppun-san, there is a defensible position up ahead! I'll make a gap for you!" Taka swings with his bo, attempting to use the extra momentum to hit the creature and push past to the defensible area, or at least to meet up with the Dragon. ______ Water Stance A...

Not sure exactly which Initiative Water opportunities you're referencing here? The "pass to next check" one is Air-based. Ahhh I realized my mistake. I thought the initiative from the surprise opponent was an event specific way to spend Opportunity. I'll scotch it then Both Prepare Item and Slipper...

Hiro is a bit embarrassed by that subject: "Oh, that. Guess it's pretty obvious. Sensei says it's not so much that I should unlearn my previous training than I still have yet to sublimate it, to isolate its essence from its specifics, and integrate the core of my swordsmanship to my bladeless techn...

Taka leaps at the chance to show some of the practical applications, bringing along a bo as his primary weapon to try to show off a bit. He brings Koku He's quick, ready and takes charge. "I think we have a good angle to defend from here!" _________ Initiative: 5 (Focus) + 1 (plus two opportunity) =...

"I like to think that I am a man of many talents: warrior, lover, leader, musician." Taka flashes a smile. "Sumire-san certainly is talented, I don't want to take away from that, but I wish to hear of your talents as well. Clearly, you made your way here for some reason."

Taka is going to beeline for the fight. Fortunately I don't see a ton of people beating down the door for it.

"Unicorn-san!", she said, perhaps a bit too cheerfully, as she gave the man a well-practiced, conditioned bow bowed. She then looked over her shoulder, then around the room, raising her brow slightly as her balance shifted from one foot to another. "Hm! That's odd, I don't think I've seen her aroun...

"Oh, I agree. There's a reason, I'm sure. And the sensei wants people flexible and adaptable. As to what end?" Taka shrugs

Hiro blinks a few times, obviously taken by surprise. "I'm not sure such a question has an universal answer samurai-sama. Each monk has their own past they leave behind when they take up their vows, their own stories that lead them to that decision. Each of these tales is unique, particular to each...

"I think" Taka mulls over the question before adopting an impish grin. "That you might be trying to use my answers Kitsuki-san." Take takes the pastry back and takes another bite. In spite of his comment, he feels fine continuing. "The sensei is looking for students for a purpose. I don't know what ...

Tagging Brother Hiro Manual labor isn't Taka's favorite thing to do when it comes to setting camp, but this certainly had something appeal to his curiosity. "Brother Hiro, good day. Have you had your rice?" It was a standard greeting, at least for Taka. "So, I'm curious, what makes a bushi want to ...
