"I can offer energy to assist that..."

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 150):

The horseman who is beither of the Baronet nor the household of the Omo dismounts and approaches, and addresses you in fluent Sahudese

"I am Yeogja, and I bring regards from the Omo, along with one who claims
to be the rightful ruler of this area,who has made an alliance with the Omo.
 Which of you illustrious gentlemen can provide us with an introduction to the elder?

"Am Chye Iseul, Youxia of the Jianghu.
Well met, Yeogja. Chye will take you to Master Fa."
And he does.

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 153):

Yeogia bows and once in the presencenof the elder , bows deeply.
"Most revered Master Fa, this humble servant of Omo Sakemoko, Yeogja Matin. I have brought a possible solution to the problem of the attacks and depredations by the local warlord. It is said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and in this manner I would introduce you to a 'friend' of thre Omo, the baronet James of Veroigne,brother to the Baroness Lorraine who is unfortunately married to the despot Baron Pequenaud, who has brough trouble to your village.  We have brought also the Swordsman Xu, and his partner Chung Wang, a veritable oni with his iron club, and along the way we have been joined by the loyal guardsmen of Baronet James. Together they are a force with which the Omo intends to depose the baron. He has recieved assurances that thereturning ruler will not permit the same abuses."

In reply to Yeogja Matin (msg # 154):

"This is a serious matter. Xu and Chung Wang his Qíngfù we welcome, along with the Baronet and his Zhàngfū.  They are known to me, although we have not met.
Seditionis a serious undertaking, but as you can see, we are already well on that road. There is no point going backwards now, alrhough we do need certain assurances of conduct and respect."

Chye Scratches his head, and looks at Iskander.

Iskander nods, then shrugs.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 157):

Saishi stands behind the elder.

[Private to GM: I assume the two would know each other, so he would be standing in a position to indicate his support of the elder.]

In reply to Village elder (msg # 155):

The translator asks for and receives permission to bring the Baronet and his partner. He returns with them, and they make an attrmpt a bowing, and he translates the elder's comments to Aralaise.

In reply to Yeogja Matin (msg # 159):

"Master Fa,may I ask what your conditions are?"

In reply to James (msg # 160):

Through the translator, the elder replies
"We have suffered these past years the rapine predations of the honorless men of the baron. If we are tto through our support to your cause, we need to know that you and yours will not treat us this in this manner."

In reply to Village elder (msg # 161):

"明智的话，长辈。确实是明智的条件。"

Wise words, Elder. Wise conditions indeed.

Chye regards the noble and his retainers, with mirthful enthusiasm, as if he suspects a celebration to follow already.

In reply to Saishi Jin (msg # 162):

Occ, cannot read spoilers on my phone.


The lordling avers that his people will not ask thusly, and when informed of how many of the baron's men fell to your hands, he is thankful.
 Far from celebrating, he prepares his men to ride on to his ancestral lands to challenge his brother in law.

Disappointed, but still not one to be undone, Chye tries to make a celebration happen anyways.

Chye sings an uplifting melody called,Travelling Again

"...I remember the temple, this route I've travelled before,
I recall the bridge as I cross it again.
It seems the hills and rivers have been waiting,
The flowers and willows all are selfless now.
The field is sleek and vivid, thin mist shines,
On soft sand, the sunlight's colour shows it's late.
All the traveller's sorrow fades away,
What better place to rest than this??..."

Assured that the villagers will receive fair treatment, Ales offers his aid to the cause.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 166):

The captain-consort nods to Ales.
"I respect your devotion, but I do believe you are pledged to another lord than mine own. These two mercenaries should be fine, saw them deal with a group of bandits before we rejoined with Monsieur Hood and my other loyal men."

"The battle has yet to be won, but I am glad to have helped facilitate this new alliance, where  it'll be better for everyone involved. We must return with the rice, to our lordship. Good Luck, Senyor!"

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 165):

"Ho then it is the dragons grandson brought us a tune from the mountain fastness! Chung Wang let us have a drink with this one before we overthrow this gaijin bastard to put another in his place!"

In reply to Xu (msg # 169):

"Wisdom to keep the best cellarbrations until after we have done so..."

In reply to Xu (msg # 169):

"Chye Isuel! You would know where to find a jug!"

"At last! Let us transform this somber mood!"
Chye gets them a jug of shaoxing wine!

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 172):

Much to the chagrin of the holy man and the Baronet,  the two mercenaries proceed to become inebriated along with their benefactor

Okay, now that we've finished off the jug...Let's eat! We can sober up, over some hot tea...

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 174):

Saishi will stay alert and on watch...
