Intermission Part 2

This was written as an email by the player who plays Bayushi Kyoji, in response to the previous story written by the GM.



Bayushi Kyoji rises. Bows to Anashi (very low) and then to the Gunso (low) then to the other samurai (not as low).

"Samurai sama, I stand before you today, honoured. Honoured to serve our great Emperor. (Bows once again to Anashi) Honoured to protect the empire here, in this rugged yet beautiful land. (Kyoji's eyes meet the prominent Crab Samurai in the room) Honoured to serve among the brave and couragous from other clans (Kyoji pauses and looks at each samurai from the clans in the 11th legion) Honoured, to recount this portion of the 11th Legion and their fullfillment of Duty."

It was early afternoon as we arrived at the village near to the Ogre's lair. The sun was at its peak as we found our way through the brush. We observed our enemy from afar, as he groteskly devoured his most recent prey.

With Courage, Hida Shinzo and Matsu Yuudai pushed forward, battle cries echoing throughout the valley. Charging headlong into battle the two samurai relentlessly attacked. While occupying the Ogre, Isawa Mino, Kitsune and Bayushi Kyoji unleashed magic and missle to weaken the beast. Suddenly through a seemingly terrible twist of fate the Orge lashed out at Yuudai. A crushing blow sending any mortal samurai to the grave connected with the Matsu, shattering his armor and helm. Hida Shinzo pushed further at the Ogre with an almost wild abandon. The Ogre, though wounded, once again wielded his cruel club toward the Hida Samurai this time connecting with brutal force. With our two battle-hardened veterens indisposed, Bayushi Kyoji leaped forward to distract the hideous beast. Given the oppurtunity Isawa Mino plunged her Katana into the Ogre finishing what the Legion began. Presenting the Ogres head to the Peasent village we have brought back a trophy for our emperor.

(Kyoji motions to a servent who brings forth the club of the Ogre and presents it to Kyoji. Kyoji takes the club, bows and presents it to Anashi.)

"For our most esteemed Emperor" (Bows very low)

Just a few notes on this post: If you took note of the word 'duty' being capitilized in the second paragraph this is because Duty is one of the seven tenents of Bushido, the code all samurai live by. Also you may have noticed that the author (Lance) omitted my characters first name, I take this as a compliment as my character is supposed to be antisocial and reclusive, thus not having other players remember my name is a good sign that I'm playing my character right. They do often use the nickname 'horse-whisperer' and they think my character is gay, but they're a bit immature.
