http://wiki.white-wolf.com/exalted/index.php?title=Calendar <- Handy. :)
−
 
 
−
Early morn in ''Nexus''. A good looking woman, ''Savvy'', is wandering through the bustling street and notices a young woman covered in moonsilver tattoos and carrying a large moonsilver bow, ''Phinnae''. Probably a lunar?
 
−
 
 
−
Some mean looking guys start following the ladies.
 
−
 
 
−
''Scarred'' emerges drunk from a bar, and sees the mean guys menacing two good looking chicks.
 
−
 
 
−
A ''Jade Wisdom'' also notices the incidental 'mugging' but is greatly intrigued by the appearance of two Lunars and a Solar! (Recognised immediately through use of charm). He heads toward the Exalts.
 
−
 
 
−
Mooks die in a splash of gore and artifact fans.
 
−
 
 
−
''Jade Wisdom'' begs to be in the service of such mighty lord and ladies.
 
−
 
 
−
Leads the Exalts to the teahouse where he has been staying (''Madam Wu's Teahouse of Excellent Courage''... but no! They get interrupted by another mysterious Exalt who takes them to a warehouse.
 
−
 
 
−
This Exalt reveals the name of ''Taros Petasi'', and tricksy-like binds the party to an oath stating they will help uncover the whereabouts of the ''Golden Bow of the East''.
 
−

−
=== '''18th Descending Wood'''  ===
 
−
 
 
−
''Jade Wisdom'' says 'How about the library?'.
 
−
 
 
−
Party goes there and ''Jade Wisdom'' uses some social fu to get within, and mighty investigation-fu to uncover the old history of the Bow within about 30 minutes. (Yay 9 sux!) There is a legend and a history behind it all!

* '''The Tale of [[/ShuZhou| Shu Zhou]]'''
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
Feeling job done, party goes back to warehouse. Meets a servant of Taros - ''Ragara Tanro''.
 
−
 
 
−
Next day...
 
−
 
 
−
=== '''19th Descending Wood''' ===
 
−
''Savvy'' and ''Phinnae'' head off seperately to wander aimlessly lost around Nexus. ''Jade Wisdom'' heads to ''Madam Wu's Teahouse of Excellent Courage'' to check on his belongings. He is pleased that all is still there, and disheartened that his meagre funds are running dry. ''Scarred'' practices his drunken martial arts for a few hours. And remains intoxicated.
 
−
 
 
−
All are back in time for ''Taros'' to arrive.
 
−
 
 
−
''Taros'' is pleased at the findings of the party so far, and suggests they might wish to go to Sijan to investigate the Solar Tombs there, on his behalf. Strangely, he is unwilling to go there himself, due to unexplained, mysterious circumstances... wooooo...
 
−
 
 
−
''Savvy'' is unwilling. Says she has other stuff to do. ''Phinnae'' can't understand a word of what's going on anyway... ''Scarred'' is too drunk to care. ''Jade Wisdom'' is too unimportant to weigh in with opinions.
 
−
 
 
−
''Taros'' shrugs and says if they change their mind they can find him at the ''Seven-Thousand-Pleasures Teahouse''.
 
−
 
 
−
The Lunars chit-chat for a while. Swapping small parts of their respective tales. ''Savvy'' fills in ''Phinnae'' withh some lunary lore stuff that she seems strangely ignorant of. ''Phinnae'' seems pleased by this.
 
−
 
 
−
''Scarred'' and the Jadeborn chit-chat on the pro's and cons of drunkeness and temperance. The solar offers the Jadeborn some of the sake from his magic gourd (which just sounds... ''dirty'') and ''Jade Wisdom'' accepts graciously. He quietly contemplates the alcoholic heat for a few moments before ''Savvy'' starts to ask him questions...
 
−
 
 
−
''Jade Wisdom'' explains what he knows about Eclipse Oath-binding. This makes ''Savvy'' even more nervous about the secret debts she has to repay, and binding a Solar "against his will" into an Oath he doesn't know about. The Jadeborn attempts to ease her mind, arguing that ''Taros'' wasn't tricked into his end of the Oath, but ''Savvy'' remains unconvinced.
 
−
 
 
−
''Savvy'' gives a small hint as to the debt she must repay, and what she must do for that repayment. She must kill off ''Peleps Dakura'', a notable Dragon-Blood of cruel demeanour who is staying in Nexus. Presumably exiled from the Realm and its finer sensibilities.
 
−
 
 
−
''Jade Wisdom'' accepts this as a serious matter, and can understand she does not wish ''Taros'' to commit a murder on her behalf to fulfil his side of the Oath. After some thought, he suggests that the Solar may know the whereabouts of ''Dakura'' in Nexus, and that by giving that information may be considered to have helped ''Savvy'' in her goal. The Lunar agrees this seems wise, and the pair make their way to the ''Seven-Thousand Pleasures Teahouse''.
 
−
 
 
−
It is a very fine establishment, and the unflappable ''Taros'' appears to have been expecting them. Upon explaining her desire to know the whereabouts of ''Dakura'', the Solar agrees to help. Some small talk and pleasantries are exchanged, and then the Lunar and Jadeborn depart.
 
−
 
 
−
In the meantime, ''Phinnae'' has gone looking for pirates, slavers and markets. She finds a scum-filled Inn and begins talking to some scurvy dogs...
 
−
 
 
−
But the scurvy dogs are elusive, sly and secretive and divulge no new secrets.  ''Phinnae'' is tired and wary of this new city.  She decides to return later afreshed.  ''Phinnae'' returns to the warehouse.  [[Phinnae]]
 
−
 
 
−
Night passes and a new day dawns...
 
−
 
−
=== '''20th Descending Wood''' ===
 
−
 
 
−
Some discussion is had among the mismatched party as they awaken. This discussion now includes ''Phinnae'' who can now actually, mysteriously, suddenly, speak High Realm. No one seems phased by this.
 
−
 
 
−
The Jadeborn decides he would be better off if he retrieved his belongings from ''Madame Wu'', thus saving on fees. He goes for a morning walk through the steaming city with ''Phinnae'' by his side. They walk in silence for the couple of hours necessary. Upon retrieving his small collection of goods (mostly scrolls, books, paper, ink, brushes and chisels) ''Phinnae'' offers to help carry some to help him. ''Jade Wisdom'' is a bit perplexed by the idea of an Exalt helping him, or maybe it's her thick western accent. He says thankyou and gives her two exquisite feather quills to carry, not wishing to impose upon her generosity, but also unsure as to her intent, nor willing to risk her displeasure by refusing her aid.
 
−
 
 
−
''Phinnae'' also seems a bit bemused by these quills.
 
  
−
Together they travel back to the Warehouse.

Further discussions are held as to what the day will bring, and the conversation turns to the mysterious people who appear to be following members of the party at various times. A plan is formulated to let the Jadeborn and the Solar wander to a market, while the two Lunars follow behind discretely to spot anyone else trying to follow.

−
This plan gets kinda boring as the markets are miles away, and no one seems to follow them. Sigh. At the markets ''Jade'' and ''Scarred'' make use of the time to begin organizing travel to ''Sijan'', and then as the day gets longer, they start to head back. Then ''Jade Wisdom'' spots the face of one of the people who had been spotted trailing them!
 
  
−
The imposing armoured Jadeborn pounces onto the hapless mortal and holds him in a fierce, intimidating grip. Some questioning by the party reveals he (''Pirule Kugimo'') has been paid to make notes about their travels - who they talk to, where they go each day, etc - and drop the note into a tavern, where the barkeep forwards the note onto a mysterious (there's that word again) Dynast. Thinking this tavern would be close by, the party decides to follow the guy there.
 
  
−
Some hours later ''Jade Wisdom'', ''Savvy'' and ''Phinnae'' arrive at the tavern with the guy. ''Scarred'' is long lost. ''Savvy'' flirts with the barkeep and uncovers some information, such as what the Dynast kinda looks like, and the regular daily visits made to get the collected notes from many people around ''Nexus''.

=== '''21st Descending Wood''' ===
 
  
−
So, Savvy, Phinae and Jade Wisdom start to wander back to the warehouse with Pirule. Savvy runs  off, leaving Phinnae and Jade to stop a short distance away from the Tavern to discuss the situation some more.
 
  
−
Phinnae suggests they should remain close to the Tavern with Pirule so he can identify the wealthy fop. Jade Wisdom is sceptical of this idea due to an inability to reasonably hide Pirule and prevent him from calling out or otherwise attracting unwanted attention. This leads to a small impasse...
 
  
−
Then Pirule helpfully suggests staying ''inside'' the Tavern to keep a watch out for the fop, and Phinnae agrees to this idea. So Jade and Pirule head back to the warehouse while Phinnae enters the Tavern to  keep watch from a position of stealth and inconspicuousness.
 
  
−
While inside the Tavern, Phinnae call for a bit of fun, gambling on an arm-wrestling contest between herself (a poor frail woman-folk-type) and the big manly men of the bar, to help pass the time. A big burly man takes up the challenge. One scream of pain and a broken arm later, the rest of the Tavern patrons look nervous and edge away from the 'poor frail woman-folk-type' lady who just broke a man's arm without breaking a sweat or showing any signs of remorse... that's right, inconspicuous.
 
  
−
Phinnae then tries to bribe the Barkeep, but with no concept of money, the Barkeep is not impressed...
 
  
−
----
 
  
−
Jade Wisdom and Pirule make it back to the warehouse safely. The Jadeborn offers the man his bed roll, some food and a cup of tea, all of which are accepted with gratitude.

Savvy, Jade Wisdom and Pirule Kugimo remain patiently at the warehouse waiting for Phinnae and Taros (and maybe Scarred). Soon, Ragara Tanro arrives with a message for Savvy, that Taros has invited her to the 7000-Pleasures Teahouse. Upon hearing this, the super-intelligent Jadeborn takes Pirule away out of earshot, as y'know, spy and all that... Once Tanro has left, Jade Wisdom leads Pirule back inside and Savvy confides the news to him in a language Pirule cannot comprehend. Jade Wisdom recommends that Savvy go to Taros as soon as possible, while he remains at the warehouse to watch the captive and await Phinnae (and Scarred...).

(Common consensus has it that Scarred has taken all the money and gotten lost inside many Nexus Pubs, Taverns, Whorehouses, Opium Dens and Gambling houses on the way back to the warehouse.)

=== '''22nd Ascending Water''' ===
  
−
Savvy finds an discreet corner and becomes a bird to fly to Taros.
+
The smell of Nexus greets the Companions long before it comes into sight. They hastily try to remove as many Guild paraphernalia and markings as they can. This is probably a bit late, given the amount of river traffic.
−
----
 
−
Midday. Sunny and warm...
 
−
----
 
−
Phinnae is bored (and hungry? and thirsty?) but notices the Dynastic looking man with good clothes, darks hair and noble bearing enter the bar. The man talks quietly and briefly to the man behind the bar, then leaves. Phinnae phollows! Phop has disappeared!! Phrustrated Phinnae phlies high, phails to phind, still phrustrated, phuck!!! She phlies back to the warehouse.
 
−
----
 
−
Savvy arrives at the Teahouse to meet Taros. He informs her of some details about [[Bencyclopedia/PelepsDakura| Peleps Dakura]]. Savvy is grateful, and idle chitchat ensues, and soon thereafter Savvy departs.
 
−
----
 
−
Jade Wisdom engages in conversation with Pirule, getting a little closer to establishing a bond of intimacy with the man. Then Phinnae arrives.
 
  
−
The Lunar girl manages to draw a very rough picture of the wealthy man, and conveys her frustration at losing him so quickly. Jade Wisdom informs the young exalt that apart from her being very unlucky (which is unlikely, because Exalts make their own luck), many other types of being can use Charms to hide themselves from view, or travel very quickly, or confuse the mind. Also many magical artifacts can do the same.
+
Phinnae captains the boat easily into a berth at the Nexus Pool. Once docked, everyone packs what little belongings they have and Scarred becomes Easily Overlooked in order to keep the giant Orichalcum Bow hidden. Then they make their way to the Teahouse of 7000 Pleasures.  
  
−
Savvy then returns. Jade Wisdom makes her a cup of tea as she relates her information. Phinnae is curious and excited about Dakura's interest in 'Exotic' slaves. And also a little concerned that he may have some of her relatives...
+
Phinnae flies there as a condor and once in human form again she knocks on the door of the Teahouse, having arrived hours before everyone else. Madame ''Wang'' answers. The old woman looks a bit surprised to see Phinnae all by herself, and asks as to the whereabouts of the others.
  
−
After some discussion, the yacht seems to be the best place to attack the Dragon-Blood without running afoul of Nexus laws. Jade Wisdom suggests it may be very easy for the Lunars to assault the yacht, but getting himself and Scarred aboard to help, if their help is desired, may be somewhat more difficult as they cannot change shape, fly, swim (not that far anyway), walk on water, or sail. Of course, Lord Scarred may have an awesome idea, but he isn't present, and may have run into trouble, or just passed out in a gutter somewhere, or fled the city...
+
In her characteristically uncharismatic manner, Phinnae says it's none of the old woman's business, then bluntly demands to see Rosa. Madame Wang informs her that Rosa departed for her home months ago. Phinnae then asks for a bath. And a new change of clothes!
  
−
Everyone wonders what has happened to Scarred... (except Pirule, who's probably thankful).
+
Madame Wang agrees that the barbarian smells quite strongly and leads Phinnae through several corridors of giggles behind closed doors to a well appointed room. Phinnae demands Madame Wang tell Taros that the others are on their way. Madame Wang refuses politely, saying that Master Taros is in Firewander at present. Phinnae pauses for a second to consider this, then tells Madame Wang to get rooms and tea ready for everyone.
  
−
It is mid afternoon.
 
−
----
 
−
...---^---...
 
−
----
 
−
Phinnae decides to fly around the city to look for Scarred.  Soaring high in the sky to avoid attracting attention but using her "eagle" eyes to scour the filthy streets of Nexus.  After many hours of searching, Phinnae frustrated, lands on the roof of a two storey building.  While resting on the roof she hears shouts and loud sobbing.  Curious she flaps down to the window sill at the back of the building.  She sees a scantily clad young woman being beaten by a hulk of a man.  Phinnae's rage is piqued.  She changes shape on the sill and charges through the window.  The Man is surprised and is unable to fend off Phinnae's flying, reverse, roundhouse, scissor, hook kick.  She executes the move perfectly and the assailant is left in a heap at her feet.
 
−
** Is this the right or wrong way to do this?  Does it make sense? And it is not finished if its ok! [[Phinnae]]
 
−
----
 
−
Jade Wisdom decides to take Pirule and wander through Nexus to try and find Scarred. Everyone present thinks that Scarred has spent all the money in a tavern, opium den, whore-house or gambling den... or all four. Savvy chooses to remain in the warehouse to ponder the information about Dakura.
 
−
----
 
−
Scarred awakes in a poor looking tavern, "''Salt of Creation''". He has a splitting headache, and very patchy memories of the previous 12 hours or so. He orders another ale, and talks to the barkeep to discover where he is. The answer, ''Sentinel Hills'', is not much help. Ordering an extra strong coffee to help recall events, he asks for directions to the ''Drunken Carp''. Soon after, he stumbles back out onto the street and pushes his way slowly towards his original destination. Being very hungry, the local 'rat-on-a-stick' is very appealing, and helps pass the time...
 
−
----
 
−
Jade Wisdom talks some more to Pirule Kugimo. Discussing life in Nexus with life in Urvar and generally being nice and building a certain intimacy between the two. (Yay! A new Contact! Social Combat testing moderately successful!!!)
 
−
----
 
−
Night falls
 
 
----
 
----
−
Scarred enters the Drunken Carp and makes a bee-line for the barwench. He orders an ale. Perplexed at where the rest of the group are, he bribes the barwench for information. She tells him a little about their arrival and departure, which leaves the drunkard more perplexed.
 
  
−
He sits quietly drinking for a while to ponder what to do next...
+
Walking through the busy and overcrowded streets of Nexus, Jade Wisdom takes pleasure in explaining (and warning about) the city to ''Perfect Butterfly'', as she has come to be known.
 
----
 
----
−
The Jadeborn and the mortal man move from pub to tavern to brothel to casino in a futile effort to search all of Nexus for the missing (to them) Solar. Eventually, somewhat weary, they arrive back at the Drunken Carp. Scarred immediately abuses them for being late, and then swiftly buys them a meal and drink. Then he raises his voice and buys the whole tavern a drink. He then sniggers as he realises his magic gourd is unlimited, and could supply endless amounts of alcohol to everyone, but he'd rather spend the money.
 
  
−
The three leave after their meal. Once outside, Jade Wisdom notices Scarred has left the bag of silver inside on the table. He swiftly bursts inside and intimidates the girl taking the money from the table into handing it over. Once outside again, he gives Pirule a few coins and tells him to never talk to anyone about the group, or spy on them again. Pirule is relieved and grateful to be let free, to return to his pregnant wife and his mother who has a bad hip.

A large, well built man brings Phinnae some hot water and fresh clothes. While he is in her room, trapped some might say, she asks him about recent events in Nexus. He says Master Taros, Captain Baos and Mistress Incomparable Hammer have been working on a large project, but he doesn't know what that project is.

The Solar and Jadeborn start the long walk back to the warehouse.

=== '''22nd Descending Wood''' ===
 
  
−
The Jadeborn once again makes tea for the assembled misfits. Scarred snubs it to fall asleep loudly next to his gourd, but Savvy accepts. Jade Wisdom and Savvy engage in a conversation about slavery and the nature of civilisation. Unwittingly the Artisan greatly upsets the Lunar girl from a tribe raided regularly for slaves. Savvy throws a punch in frustration at the Enlightened Ubermensch and storms out. The Jadeborn is perplexed and puzzled by the erratic behaviour by the Exalt, Chosen by Luna and granted powers far beyond mortal men, but figures slavery had something to do with it. He makes a note of it as a valuable lesson learned by both parties, and goes to bed.
+
The others arrive at last at the well appointed foyer and are met by the gracious Madame Wang. Savvy enquires after Phinnae and Taros, and is told that though Phinnae is here, Taros is regrettably not. Madame Wang then leads them all to well appointed guest rooms.
  
−
Savvy flies out of Nexus and hunts as a Simhata for a couple of hours, before flying back at about 4am and collapsing, calmer, into bed herself.
+
They all spot a large, well built man leaving another room in a hurry with a concerned look upon his face. Phinnae can be heard beyond the door saying she was only trying to say thankyou!
  
−
Morning arrives.
+
Half an hour later or so, Madame Wang gets Phinnae from her room and leads her to a lush lounge replete with tasty snacks gentle music and several varieties of tea from around Creation. Soon after Phinnae has gotten comfortable, the rest arrive. Jade Wisdom 's eyes light up upon spotting the tea and he sips it with relish and delight. After devouring the exquisit snacks, Perfect Butterfly, Savvy and ex-slave girls all go to a communal bathroom. Jade Wisdom and the sailors then do likewise.
  
−
Scarred and Jade Wisdom awake. The Jadeborn informs the Solar about Peleps Dakura, and then the two decide to spar against each other to pass the time. The Solar clearly outmatches Jade Wisdom, who takes careful note of the Solars technique in an effort to improve himself.
+
Around mid-afternoon everyone is refreshed, relaxed, re-clothed and reclining back in the lounge.  
  
−
Savvy wakes at the sound of scuffling, and upon seeing this, Jade Wisdom intermingles the sparring with brewing and pouring a cup of tea for her. As he ducks and weaves to avoid the Solars blows he bows low to the Lunar and apologises for causing unintended offense and reaches out to hand her the cup. Scarred slyly whips his hand out to snatch the tea cup away and drink it. He pauses for a moment to express his admiration for its quality. Everyone likes Jade Wisdom's tea! WIth good humour and respect for the Solars skill at martial arts, Jade Wisdom makes Savvy another cup.
+
Then Scarred reappears, dirty, dishevelled and smelling like a brewery full of pig-swill. Despite this the others make small talk with him and fill him in on the news, such as it is, about Taros. Savvy asks Feral to tell more about Nexus and its laws and customs, as the girl grew up in the city. While she speaks, Scarred and the sailors get quite drunk, before eventually, the sailors take their leave, getting paid by Madame Wang on the way out.
  
−
Over this liquid breakfast, the three discuss Dakura some more. Scarred mentions that he believes the Dragon-Blood is third in line to the Scarlet Throne! But the others are... unconvinced.
+
The night passes uneventfully, and very comfortably.
  
−
The trio decide the best plan is to head to Dakura's mansion in [[TheNexusProject/Bastion|Bastion]] to find a servant or slave willing to inform them of Dakura's whereabouts and habits. This agreed to they walk there over course of the morning.
 
  
−
They find Dakura's mansion, and quickly spot a servants entrance. Jade Wisdom is tasked with keeping watch for a likely servant. The Solar and Lunar realise they aren't exactly well kept or clean. Blood spatters and more mysterious stains cover them both... they decide to bathe...

−
The two filthy Anathema find a nearby canal and wash some of the grit and grime away. The Solar uses a Charm to render himself effectively invisible and gets a cunning plan - since he is so clever and awesome and can make himself invisible, why doesn't ''he'' sneak into the mansion?!?!?! OMGWTFBBQ! And he has larceny-fu enough to break into any locked room!

== Comments ==
  
−
He mentions this to Savvy and Jade Wisdom, who agree it's a much better plan to send in the ''spy'' to do some ''Spying''. Even if he ''is'' drunk.

−
So, shortly thereafter,Scarred enters the mansion though the servants door. Sneaking unobserved like a breeze past the single guard. The high walls of the mansion hide a serene and secluded garden of cherry blossoms, hedge rows, pristine gravel paths and fountains. In the centre lies a grand, yet elegant house. He sneaks in, casually disregarding the finery in his search for Dakura, or information about him. He overhears two guards talking about the yacht being prepared for launch the next day, after 'stock' has been acquired. Upon gleaning this information the Solar uber-spy leaves as he entered and informs the patiently waiting Jadeborn and somewhat less patient Lunar.
+
Trying some organisational changes. If '''anyone''' has a better idea, I'd love to see it! :) Will leave the last couple of days in game time (or game sessions) up on this page and archive off the others on a rolling schedule (alternatively, one of you lot can do that too if you feel so inclined, just copy how I've done it. Each Archived day will usually be fairly short to read, has it's own comments section and should be easy to build off, but one thing I'm wary of is losing exactly what the party of misfits has learned. If it's archived away who's to say what day they learned the specific bit of info you're looking for to recall... hm... wordy sentences for the win tonight! Maybe each date should have a reminder about that day? So like: 16th Descending Wood - Nexus, quartet met, alley thugs, Taros intro. - [[nikink]]
  
−
The trio decide to go to the Nexus Pool. At Jade Wisdom's suggestion they travel by Canal Taxi, saving a lot of walking and time. He is ''so'' wise...
+
: Perhaps you could just have this page be a timeline with a brief rundown of each day + the calander with the links off to the more detailed descriptions. Possibly just have the most recent game or two on here as well, to act as a memory tickler if needed. - [[Bencyclopedia]]
  
−
Upon arrival the scale of the problem becomes apparent as the frontage is miles long, and there are thousands of water craft docked and coming and going. A cunning plan is formulated. Jade Wisdom will impersonate a Dragon-Blood lord with slave girl Savvy and retainer Scarred. They will then travel to the Dockmaster and enquire as to the whereabouts of Dakura's yacht. Scarred uses his knowledge of the Dynasty to provide a plausible name, ''Cynis Kitaro''. Jade Wisdom indentifies where the Dockmaster would be and leads his new 'retinue' there.  
+
:: I'm pretty sure you just said what I said... :) [[nikink]]
  
−
The Dockmaster's headquarters is crowded with people clamouring for attention and standing in queues to present their docking slips or pay their fees. Taking no heed of these lesser individuals, Cynis Kitaro strides past them all in his mighty Jade Power-Armour. The small bureaucratic man behind the counter attempts to charge a small fee, but is quickly cowed into giving directions and waiving the fee entirely. Cynis Kitaro then turns and strides out gesturing his retainers to follow.
+
::: Quite possibly, I just did it less wordy :P [[Bencyclopedia]]
  
−
''The SHining Pearl'' is about a mile away. An easy walk through the stench and crowded piers. Stopping within sight of the yacht they see it is being loaded by lines of slaves. Cynis Kitaro walks up to the guards and informs them of his delivery to Peleps Dakura of one fine slave girl. The guards appear uncertain, but unwilling to argue they accept Savvy and take her into the holding cells within the yacht.
+
Damn homophones! :) [[nikink]]
  
−
Cynis Kitaro and his retainer walk away from the docks a short distance, and discuss getting food. They eat at a nearby pub and then go to keep a stealthy watch over the yacht. Inside the boat, Savvy experiments with changing shape to escape her shackles and is relieved to find the shackles do not change size to keep her held.

Some hours pass.

:: The more you know! :) [[nikink]]
−
 
 
−
Savvy gets bored, and impatient, and turns into a cat to explore the ship.
 
−
Scarred is bored but refraining from drinking as he watches from his position on the next boat.
 
−
Jade Wisdom is calm and observant from a position further away.
 
−
 
 
−
The Lunar-as-cat discovers a bedroom with old blood between the cracks in the floorboards - obviously Dakura's main pleasure-room. Then goes to hunt rats to pass the time. Making a sacred hunt of it to expand her library of forms.
 
−
 
 
−
Nightfall.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom walks carefully to Scarred's position. A small discussion takes place about how best to get themselves aboard. Scarred reinforces his awesome Solar might by bragging about his stealthy prowess, and ability to just walk up the gangplank past the guards. Jade Wisdom is suitably impressed, but counters that that doesn't help getting him on board. Scarred agrees, and then skips down to the pier and up the gangplank anyway. Shrugging to himself, the jadeborn noble takes a giant leap onto the yacht, and stays stock still to avoid notice.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade and Scarred scout out the layout of the yacht, and find Savvy in the holding pen. Scarred uses his larceny-fu to open the lock and free her, before she leads them to a quiet, hidden place in the hold.
 
−
 
 
−
=== '''23rd Descending Wood''' ===
 
−
 
 
−
Dawn breaks...
 
−
 
 
−
The trio awake from their uncomfortable positions... ok, Savvy was a cat, thus quite comfy... to the sounds of a ruckus filtering through the decks. They assume this is due to the guards finally noticing Savvy is no longer in the pen. This ruckus dies down eventually and the yacht lurches and rolls under their feet.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred discovers that lurching and rolling motions plus copious alcohol makes for a bad combination. Jade Wisdom innocently enquires why the Iron Wolf does not have some kind of perfect balance fu, so representative of his kind, and Solars in general. Scarred looks green in his direction.
 
−
 
 
−
Midday.
 
−
 
 
−
The trio discuss whether Savvy is rewuired to kill Dakura herself, or if any of them could do it to free her from the blood debt. They conclude that any of them could do it if needs be, but that the 'honour' should be Savvy's, and they will only step in if the young Lunar appears to be unable to carry the out the deed.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred uses his stealth-fu to scout out where the Dragon Blood is located, and finds him in his pleasure-room with a slave girl. The trio sneaks up to the main deck...
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy leaps towards the door of the pleasure-room, changing into a deadly beastman of horse, lion, human, awesome and pure win as she does so. The door splinters under her hooved feet and glass from the windows shatters into glittering crescent moon shapes as it falls. Getting her Fury up, Savvy rushes towards Dakura with fangs bared and anima flaring. The Wood Aspected Dynast is surprised, but manages to avoid the savage bite. He twists and writhes away from the rampaging beastman to grab his Jade Powerbow. Two arrows embed themselves in Savvy's shoulder and chest as his anima explodes into life. A whirling cascade of thorns and vines tears at the furniture and is closing in on the chained slave-girl, who looks remarkably similar to Phinnae. Neigh-roaring in rage Savvy whips out her two war-fans and deftly cuts through the naked Dragon-Blood's defences, sending his head rolling to the floor, his face forever to remain in open surprise.
 
−
 
 
−
On the main deck outside the room, Guards race up and spot the not-quite-as-invisible-as-he-thought Solar, while Jade Wisdom remains still and unnoticed, keeping a watch over the two Exalts as they fight. Scarred smashes aside the first guard with his giant gourd while the other guards surround him.
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy calms down and changes back into human shape, the two arrows remain embedded and painful, but she rushes to the aid of the slave girl, trying to speak to her.
 
−
 
 
−
As the guards attack Scarred, he manages to roll, stagger, flip, punch, trip, bump and kick himself out of harms way. His castemark starts to shine forth in warning. The Jadeborn is fascinated by the Drunken Martial Arts style practised by the Solar, but seeing that the Scarred does not need his help, runs to assist Savvy.
 
−
 
 
−
Recognising the Anathema before them, the guards decide to flee! This is a wise move, but one unfortunate soul gets caught before he could jump into the river below.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom applies some medical treatment to the slave-girl and then removes the arrows from Savvy. He congratulates her on fulfilling her debt and looks around the room for something with which to make a celebratory cup of tea...

22nd Ascending Water

The smell of Nexus greets the Companions long before it comes into sight. They hastily try to remove as many Guild paraphernalia and markings as they can. This is probably a bit late, given the amount of river traffic.

Phinnae captains the boat easily into a berth at the Nexus Pool. Once docked, everyone packs what little belongings they have and Scarred becomes Easily Overlooked in order to keep the giant Orichalcum Bow hidden. Then they make their way to the Teahouse of 7000 Pleasures.

Phinnae flies there as a condor and once in human form again she knocks on the door of the Teahouse, having arrived hours before everyone else. Madame Wang answers. The old woman looks a bit surprised to see Phinnae all by herself, and asks as to the whereabouts of the others.

In her characteristically uncharismatic manner, Phinnae says it's none of the old woman's business, then bluntly demands to see Rosa. Madame Wang informs her that Rosa departed for her home months ago. Phinnae then asks for a bath. And a new change of clothes!

Madame Wang agrees that the barbarian smells quite strongly and leads Phinnae through several corridors of giggles behind closed doors to a well appointed room. Phinnae demands Madame Wang tell Taros that the others are on their way. Madame Wang refuses politely, saying that Master Taros is in Firewander at present. Phinnae pauses for a second to consider this, then tells Madame Wang to get rooms and tea ready for everyone.

Walking through the busy and overcrowded streets of Nexus, Jade Wisdom takes pleasure in explaining (and warning about) the city to Perfect Butterfly, as she has come to be known.

A large, well built man brings Phinnae some hot water and fresh clothes. While he is in her room, trapped some might say, she asks him about recent events in Nexus. He says Master Taros, Captain Baos and Mistress Incomparable Hammer have been working on a large project, but he doesn't know what that project is.

The others arrive at last at the well appointed foyer and are met by the gracious Madame Wang. Savvy enquires after Phinnae and Taros, and is told that though Phinnae is here, Taros is regrettably not. Madame Wang then leads them all to well appointed guest rooms.

They all spot a large, well built man leaving another room in a hurry with a concerned look upon his face. Phinnae can be heard beyond the door saying she was only trying to say thankyou!

Half an hour later or so, Madame Wang gets Phinnae from her room and leads her to a lush lounge replete with tasty snacks gentle music and several varieties of tea from around Creation. Soon after Phinnae has gotten comfortable, the rest arrive. Jade Wisdom 's eyes light up upon spotting the tea and he sips it with relish and delight. After devouring the exquisit snacks, Perfect Butterfly, Savvy and ex-slave girls all go to a communal bathroom. Jade Wisdom and the sailors then do likewise.

Around mid-afternoon everyone is refreshed, relaxed, re-clothed and reclining back in the lounge.

Then Scarred reappears, dirty, dishevelled and smelling like a brewery full of pig-swill. Despite this the others make small talk with him and fill him in on the news, such as it is, about Taros. Savvy asks Feral to tell more about Nexus and its laws and customs, as the girl grew up in the city. While she speaks, Scarred and the sailors get quite drunk, before eventually, the sailors take their leave, getting paid by Madame Wang on the way out.

The night passes uneventfully, and very comfortably.
