OOC: Facebook sent me a mail saying that after FBML stops working on June 6, they will give me the option to temporarily disable the "FBML Removal" migration. If this is true, we will have some downtime on June 6, then should come back up, but will then be on borrowed time. My priority continues to be "finishing the current story". ![](http://www.esteemedhouse.com/ee/images/Action/UtakuKioko.jpg) IC: Fighting intensifies at Drowned Merchant River, where the Unicorn heavy cavalry and Phoenix shugenja have been committed to the fray, and Toturi himself faces the Emerald Champion in a duel to the death. Meanwhile, maho-tsukai are performing a horrific blood ritual to wreak havoc on the defenders at the Fortress of the Forgotten. --- Since I'm sure someone will ask, it is possible for Toturi's army to win the battle even if Toturi dies, or for Hachi's legion to win the battle even if Hachi dies. However, it will be a lot harder, and the death of their leader will almost certainly have story implications. Some others may wonder whether the game will continue in trying to decide whether to perform the various "heroic death" actions. To these I advise: Be true to your character.

Jay, I must take off my hat and bow humbly to you. These "end game" events are all very, very cool. Shame we will probably never play L5R PnP together, you must be one hell of a GM (and player, the story about the Toritaka daimyo was quite interesting). Thanks for all the effort you've put into this game and for the awesome story.

...lol, decided that first line was advocating people kill their characters eh? Yes Jay, for cramming things in with little time you're definitely moving at a great pace while keeping the quality up. I do hope you are willing and able to find another way to keep this game going.

Jay,
I would love to find a way to keep the game going, If you get a chance, send me a message on FB (I sent you one a bit ago) and we can set something up to talk, about if you are interested in continuing, or even if you are ok with a "crowd sourced" continuation.

I hope the game will not end o.o I wrote it before but, just to stress, if there is anything I can do to help, just let me know. <3 EE <3 Rainbow Dash too ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Obvious question but I gotta ask to be sure... Jay, if I choose to burn my essence and sacrifice myself for the good of the Dragon will my score in the spellcraft "competition" be preserved or will it be discarded upon my death?

I think contest scores are deleted when your character dies ... which maybe doesn't make sense in the current context but I think that's how it was coded. So you may not want to sacrifice yourself if you're leading a contest.

I somehow suspected that, don't know why... maybe I've seen it happen before and don't remember. Anyway, thanks a lot for the answer Jay ;D

I truly hope that the game doesn't come to an end in this way. It is a magnificent one, that offers tons of roleplay capacity, as well as an excellent, immersive way into the game. If I can help in any way somehow, I would be glad to assist Jay!

Great job Jay on these action-packed actions.
Though I must say, I got a chuckle at the thought of never getting to spend my favor's from Hachi if he's cut in two by Kaneka.
