Chou-Zhen bows deeply to Akira Aku No as he leaves the Omo's audience, and follows the others out of the room.  His demeanor does not change from what it was, but he keeps his silence.

Ales bows a respectable, if perfunctory depth, as  Akira passes by. Otherwise, he quietly begins to chant. Once he is finished, cherry blossom petals seem to Cascade from the sky over Sakemoko-san s manor.

Ales intends it as a tribute to the Omo, but if Akira believes it a tribute to him, he will let the fallen leader believe that.

(Ooc: Perfect Illusion roll passes.)

The Omo bows to Ales, for his display, and arraying the documents in front of him, rubs his hands.

"Ji’an, changing to Jian. The hexagram of Development becomes that of Obstruction.
Hu Gua; a hidden influence: preparation is key, Zong Gua, the underlying cause is Propriety, for the Subordinate. The action will take as long as it needs,and cannot be hurried.
Success comes when you pull your nature forward without pushing yourself into the world.
For the benefit of the roses, we water the thorns too.

Like a tree nourished by the sun and rain, we may look to the outer world for elements that nourish us, but we do not look to others for answers about who we are.The lines refer to the Geese which symbolize a connection between our organic and spiritual nature demonstrated in grace and dignity. They walk on land, float in water and soar through the sky revealing how following instinct and relying on surrounding elements to uplift us, we always arrive exactly where we need to be. Good Fortune.
Before completion, prepare, and also accommodate the opposition. It would seem that the Omo has done both of these things...
Adversity is how life unleashes your excellence from within.
Danger, opportunity and the cracking of ice. This path of closed eyes ~ fulfillment falls like rain. Keep Still to observe change. The only real blockage is unwillingness to change"

Chou-Zhen's queue twitches as he listens to the reading from the great book.  At the conclusion, he shakes his head.

"I can never understand such readings, but I will go where the Omo wishes, and do as he commands."

Chye is eager to meet the other Sahudese in the village. He's always happy to meet his people, when he's far from home, and when Sahudese are far from home, there is usually someone who needs help, or oppressors, giving them a hard time.

Iskander watched and listened to the augury being performed, with interest. He would like to study such a tome, sometime.

Ales bows towards Sakemoko and offers his aid in fulfilling the next set of tasks. As he listens to the augury, Ales meditated on its meaning and draws on his knowledge of the occult and thaumology to get a clearer message on what the Oracle might mean.

(Ooc: meditation, occultism, and thaumology rolls all passed.)

Being a poet, Tanaka found the augury inspirational, and suspected a celebration would follow soon...

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 729):

Some of the reading may refer to the Omo having waited for his rival to reveal himself, and he was prepared for any interaction.

The second part involves letting your instincts guide you, and not trying to force an issue.

Chou-Zhen bows deeply to the Omo, then quietly leaves the room.  After a short time in his quarters, he slips out of the palace to take care of some personal business.

"As you wish", Ales said bowing. " Your lordship, before we go, is there any extra paut that I may use to assist us on the mission? I know you have been extremely generous already, but I just wish to be ready for all circumstances to better assist you and my fellow travelers."

In addition to the laborers, the wagons, the gifts/trade goods/payment for those to the south, and baskets and rations for the laborers, you are also provided with two vials of healing potions and two of paut.

While waiting for departure time, Ales slips away to Sakemoko's massive Library. He takes some hours to study the Sahudese culture, history, geography, and mythology in preparation for the upcoming trip, as Ales has never been to Sahud before.

(Ooc: 01:58, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 10 using 3d6.  Research 12, to study Sahudese culture, literature, etc. Penalty of -1 to read from accented level in Sahudese already accounted for in roll.)

Chye restocks his quiver to replace lost arrows from the last battle, purchases an appropiately camouflaged hooded cloak to serve him on the road, and packs additional, personal snacks and drink (because he's a glutton.) He also stores a good deal of his money with the Omo, believing in the safety and thinking it wise not to carry so much on him.
"Your servant Chye, wishes to store his money in your keeping while away, Omo-sama."

"I would like to store in your keeping $1,000, My Lord."
Iskander Likewise gets a camo cloak for the road, and to serve as a blanket.
OOC He'll do that won't he? like give us a writ, or token or something. Seems like it would be a good arrangement to have..

In reply to Iskander (msg # 741):

Yes, your patron can bank for you. Basic cost of living ($150) will see to restocking, repairs and equipment upkeep. As patron he sees to most of that. Still gotta refresh ammo tho.

Ales can spend a little  (1pt) on cultural familiarity, which will allow defaults to function within the culture.
