We know traps, so let's risk the traps.

We can climb, we can tumble, and we can get past traps. Let's go off first. No wasted time!

Risk the traps (and then probably die to a poison arrow trap or something because we didn’t take Arrow Cutting or Poison immunity)

Page 266 posted:You glide silently like a shade across the grass and then pull yourself up onto the tiled roof of the main entrance building which offers an excellent view of the courtyard and the structures therein. Starting from the inner side of the building where you crouch, a roofed walkway extends through the courtyard to the inner building where great moths the size of a sake cup flutter, drawn by the soft glow of lanterns. This is where we would have ended up if we'd have ignored the un-engaged ronin. Just an FYI for those who don't obsess over the specific pagination like I do. Character Sheet posted:Avenger

We probably can't take on all three Ronin and they'll notice if we kill one. I vote we proceed via the roof of the covered walkway. Inept Enemy Guards almost never look up.

Proceed along the roof of the covered walkway to swing down at the far end? . We got climbing right?

I appreciate that - it's always interesting to see how the writers are trying to reuse as many of their paragraphs as possible while giving you choice flexibility. quote:Drop down behind a ronin and garrote him, hoping to either slip past or kill the other guards should the opportunity present itself.

Anyone else notice/appreciate/ponder over the patterns in page numbers with a particular update’s choices? 243/253/263 in this last one, and this is far from an isolated thing.

I bet the author learned to program in BASIC and the lesson about leaving enough numbers between lines so you could add stuff if you needed to stuck with him.

Take the roof. I forget, has the author hinted if the moon is out at all? That would make the roof a terrible idea if so!

Unless Avenger's a werewolf! Then if the Moon is out, going to the roof is an excellent idea! Wait, Avenger's not a werewolf. Never mind. Sorry for the dumb joke. I still vote we try the roof, although I do agree about the moon.

Page 253 posted:You keep your head low to blend in with the roof against the night skyline, and slither along, freezing whenever you to take the guard movie nearby. Page 309 posted:As you inch across the roof, your senses straining, you detect a trip wire running from eve to ridge, almost invisible in the darkness. You raise the trip wire slightly with your breathing tube and ease yourself under it, before retrieving your breathing tube and continuing on. You soon find yourself on the roof on the opposite side of the courtyard. You wait until attention of the patrolling ronin is elsewhere before dropping down to continue on along the wooden floor of the walkway into the into residence.  : I'd like to see Gorobei pull that off. Ignoring the fact he'd plummet straight through the roof, there's no breathing tube in the world long enough to ease him under that.Page 356 posted:You creep along a gloomy corridor, pausing outside a set of doors to listen for any sounds in the night. Page 245 posted:You tentatively place a toe on the next floorboard, and a subtle movement confirms your suspicions. The floor all around the futon is a nightingale floor, designed to make noise like a chirping bird when stepped on in order to warn of someone's approach. Any greater weight put on the floorboards will waken Mutari, who would in turn alert the whole complex. : Guard nightingales, eh? You slick bastard.Evidently these floors are a real thing!

Page 168 posted:You attach the cat's claws to your hands and feet, and stand on the top of an urn to raise yourself up to the wooden ceiling where you begin to crawl along like a spider. You lightly drop down to the floor beside Mutari and slip the garrote around his neck, squeezing in one sharp moment to sever his windpipe before he even wakes. You have no qualms about killing the tyrant in this way; you are trained to assassinate evil in the world that the weak and powerless cannot reach. : "I will vanish into the night...walk among men without being seen." And make your entire traphouse and gang of overpaid guardians look like child's play.Page 324 posted:You make your way back to Singing Wind and the others, and stand proudly as you present her with the falcon katana. Sticking with the group places you in a Fate Roll. Winning, you're pointed towards a secret passage that bypasses the courtyard, pops you into Mutari's room with a warning about the floor. If you lose the roll, Gorobei grabs the short straw and waltzes out with the flag, one minor katana wound to the chest behind where he started. BTW, the illustrations in the book are of horrendous pixelated quality. All the training ones I've copied from my old LP and they have apparently done the same with lower resolution. However, the internet has provided a better copy of the island map, included now in our character sheet. Character Sheet posted:Avenger

Can you get more than 1 flag? Head west for Takahiri (the disreputable City of Bridges) sounds like a nice place.

Page 187 posted:You abandon the white paved road and jog cross-country, with the sunrise at your back. It proves to be too boggy underfoot in the valleys to be easily traversable, and too steep and craggy in the hills to make travel any easier there, yet you continue on tenaciously. There are no tracks or farms at all in this wilderness, although you do spot a wooden shrine to Eo on a distant hill, tended by golden-robed priests. : For Kwon's sake, THEY NEVER SAID THERE WOULD BE AIR EEL MUMMIES TO CONTEND WITH! : IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER, I HAVE SPENT THE LAST HOUR GRAPPLING A FOOT GOLEM, SUMMONED FROM THE ELEMENTAL PLANE OF FEET.: Seriously?: HA, NO.
