In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 725):

"A change in regime might benefit our village,  even though the common folk are the ones who lose most in an uprising."

In reply to Sakemoko (msg # 726):

"Unless the uprising comes from elsewhere. Do you know who rises up?"

In reply to Saishi Jin (msg # 727):

"The oracle is never quite clear on these things, and it is a matter of interpretation and inspiration. "

In reply to Yoshimura Fuwara (msg # 728):

"I see. It sounds like we are needed to protect them then."

"Perhaps it will fall on us to aid the change."

Chou-Zhen once more bows deeply to the Omo.

"We have aided the villagers once in turning away the Baron's men.  Might that make the Baron send more?"

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 730):

"Were I to send agents to a place, and they did not return, I would send more to determine if ill had befallen them, or if they had decided not to return, as sometimes happens with those of little loyalty."

"So I feared immediately after the battle.  I left the short wall sections on the road and in the nearby paddy, but of course they will do little to hinder anyone not under attack or in haste."

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 732):

"We should return to them immediately..."

In reply to Saishi Jin (msg # 733):

"You have my leave to do so."


occ: when was the last time points were awarded?

In reply to Sakemoko (msg # 734):

I do not think Saishi has received any, so before he joined.

Chou-Zhen repeats his bow to the Omo, then leaves Sakemoko's chambers to prepare himself for another journey.

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 736):

Saishi does likewise...

In reply to Saishi Jin (msg # 737):

kinda waiting to hear from Chye Isuel

Chye is present, but remains silent. His main concern for the moment was congee-san, but since that is being handled..

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 739):

you are also given strings of cash, two weeks worth $1600 each.

load up with gear as you would, and spend points.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 740):

Points spent. How much cash is that each?

Blue paut and minor/major healing potions available (looking for one of each)?

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 742):



yes.

as to Sashi Jin, he only gets a week (was not guarding the rice on the way in, was not an employee of the house) $800 (10 strings of cash) but he does get a court robe, pale grey with the Omo's chop.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 743):

Cool. $100 of which he will tithe, and his canteen will not be kept full (about half full) to keep his weight to light with his backpack. He will thank Omo as he departs for his generosity.

In reply to Saishi Jin (msg # 744):

Are we good to go?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 745):

Saishi is good to go.

Then let us ride.  Will we have a pack animal or cart to carry equipment?  Otherwise, I will surely slow the group, even if I maintain Haste.

"Chye is ready to return to battle."

"Excelsior!"

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 747):

"In your absence, we located a beast that may serve in that manner.
Bring forth Guài Mă."
