Sojiro, this is the answer that you seek: 2. Storm the castle: If we go this way, the Dragon will have an initial numerical advantage against the Lion, something like 4:2 or 5:3. If the Dragon beat the Lion by 3-to-1 (a high ratio, but IMHO isn't out of line for storming a well-defended castle; if they had no time pressure, they wouldn't need nearly this much) before Toturi's army arrives, I'll rule the Dragon capture the castle and can hole up within; this would make their force roughly equal to that of Toturi's army. On the other hand, if the Dragon do not beat the Lion before Toturi shows up, they will be in serious trouble, caught between a big army and a tough castle. Shodai, I hope so, but I'm not counting on it. If the Phoenix do arrive to save the day, that will be a very pleasant surprise. Tomatsu, IC, I would be very interested in that. But I have no way to assure it OOC. By this I mean that, even if we agreed to a peace treaty, there's no way for us to control our players (or, at least, not the ones who don't frequent the forums) in order to assure it. So, I don't see how we could establish a peace treaty that wouldn't be rendered useless by the next war update/action. If you have any suggestions, I'm sure we can discuss them. If my count is right, rather than 5-3 or 4-2 it is 5-2. Jay, this isn't what was initially said. one more action for the Lion please!

one more action for the Lion please! Such a scandalous display Yuusha. I know you support Toturi, but do you really want to see your Clan mates, your own people, massacred? No matter how much I disagree with any Dragon, I would never wish misery and pain upon them. I wonder where that "Dragon soars with Dragon" idea went...

What about the two headed Dragon arguing with itself on a mountain?
Hime doesn't want more Dragon deaths but Yuusha (me) - well, I do like equality and balance. The Hantei Dragon chose to attack rather than back off or righteously fight Toturi himself. So now they must face the consequences.
Even Takezo has stated he will be forced to kill Hantei Dragon if they fight him in the field. It is the way of things sadly. I don't want to see the Dragon massacred but I don't want to see the Lion killed either. If they must fight, then at least make it fair. The Castle of the Swift Sword is a military facility. It should have a large number of samurai present to defend it.

I wish there was a way to know what numbers of what were involved where.
Everyone keeps saying,
"well this is a military facility" "But we have a huge military, and we were here" "and we were marching with so and so"
So.............................. I know that armies are large things in rokugan, but... at some point, something is going to be left unattended, or left weakly defended. I would like to see that get taken into account at some point.
The lion can't fight at Toshi Ranbo, and at Permission City, and defend here, and not have something that is weak as a result of it.

....I don't believe Jay stated that his idea of how to display an advantage was different # of jobs. If it is, you should be quite happy, since blow darts have a ridiculously bad drop rate. Also, the Lion don't have a choice to come from TR, your choice is stay there, attack Permission City or attack Kyuden Otomo.

Really a scorpion who would decline a dinner invitation and a chance to do court? How shocking Kiso-san!

And how is he getting out onto the battlefield, anyway? Seriously, He's invited me to dinner three times now. Does he just wade out onto the field in his finery to hand out dinner invitations?
And the Handsome officer is just getting kinda stalkerish and creepy... that guy is everywhere, I swear.
