Are these being counted as plans or as individual options because I'd rather get a level of agility than 6 free exp for the taoist.

More general commentary: I am a fan of Dark Souls. What this means for you guys is that I have general ideas for how hard a plot line will be to start, accomplish in some manner, and survive to completion. Want to kill an Oni? Be prepared to get together or join a squad of at least 10 people and travel through one of the most dangerous places in Rokugan to find and kill it. I wouldn't recommend you try this immediately, you will get rekt. In addition there are plot lines that might be very easy for a courtier character to resolve peacefully but very hard for a more martially inclined one to complete in a satisfactory way. There are areas of the Shiromori that are impossible to survive for anyone below IR3, the Shadowlands are filled to the brim with leaderless Lost, and the Lion are about a year from when they canonically wipe 2 Crane villages off the map. I would like you to keep this in mind when you decide where to start towards, there are places that your beginner level character cannot survive for very long if at all. Next vote will have packages that I shamelessly copied (in spirit if not in word) from In Thunder's Echo.

Vote closes in 4 hours.

None of those things happened near the Dragon lands. Unless my geography is way off.
Are you trying to avoid giving us potential spoilers, or will you have to making shit up for us?
Anyway Dark Souls works both ways. Is it possible for us to become the boss and make other peoples lives misery?
 
Taoists tend to embody the wandering swordsman trope, hence why he was bringing it up.

Also people on rolz talking about becoming the vessel of Fu Leng. :V
 
The most notable thing that Emps Genji does in his entire life is order the Dragon clan to spread Niten throughout the empire, which prompts a sort of culteral arms race. This is probably the time period that little dragons are most likely to mingle with the rest of the empire in. Up until the second day of thunder at least.

I'm glad this is a Dragon quest, I do like the them.
 
I just want to say choosing anything but Mirumoto Bushi is going against the Emperor's wishes, and since his wishes are commands for his samurai this is basically treason and defiance of the Will of Tengoku. Defying Tengoku, the Emperor, and the Kami is what Fu Leng did and thus by not being a Mirumoto Bushi we will clearly be seen as in league with Fu Leng.

Remember, vote Mirumoto Bushi or else you're a traitor to the Emperor and a dirty (probably maho practicing) devotee of Fu Leng.

:V
 
Why? No, but seriously why? I get that you're making a joke but the logic it escapes me!

The Emperor wants the Dragon to spread Niten. As Dragon it thus becomes our duty to spread it. The Emperor is the Voice of the Heavens, and not spreading Niten is thus going against the Emperor and the Heavens. Defying the Celestial Order and the Emperor is something Fu Leng also did, and thus we are clearly in league with him through defying the Emperor.

If you don't get this then you're clearly in league with Jigoku.:V
 
Or we could be following the orders of Togashi himself, who is a actual Kami, and thus outranks the Emperor himself?
 
Realtalk, last I checked the Kami don't outrank the Emperor. They had a tournament to determine this.

Edit: By that logic Moto Naleesh outranks Empress Iweko.

I just wanted to say that this is not the most notable thing my Hantei Genji will do or did.

It is tied, I will keep it open for another 4 hours.

Hmm, don't suppose anyone from the other Mirumoto school would be willing to jump ship so that the a school revolving around swords wins?
 
Since I don't have a preference between the two leading votes, changing my vote to

[X] Togashi
[X] Togashi Ise Zumi

Decided based on coin flip.
 
I just got off a 10 hour flight (well, more like 3 3-hour flights) and won't be putting the vote up tonight. I will leave it for 8 hours as I had hoped to have something better than "flipped a coin" to decide the outcome.
