I had what I thought was a cute idea for a short RPing storyline involving a small group of Samurai who are captured by Yobanjin patrols in the Northern Steppes and have to cooperate to escape and make their way to safety. I was thinking it'd make a rather interesting buddy cop thing, and potentially a way to have a few philosophical discussions about war, the Empire, loyalty, duty, and all the usual suspects.
Let me know if you're interested! By small group I'm going to say three or four, plus my character, Doji Hyuu, a martially useless courtier who is probably just going to be a burden on everybody else.

Can't wait to read it, but I'm gonna be out of place in it.

I actually wouldn't mind being part of that if you want. I'm a Matsu so I'll be in the heart of the battle against the Yobanjin I can easily relate to be captured if required.

A Matsu would most certainly be welcome, I'll put you down.

Can't wait to read it, but I'm gonna be out of place in it. Yes, a Clan Champion or Daimyo should not be captured. So I am with Senshi, just watching how it will played out.

Ok no problem but this RP will be happening after the battle with the Yobanjin right? I first want to RP the battle since I started it in Shiro Akodo and am now doing it Kyuden Bayushi. Basically after the battle we all finish emprisonned in a Yobanjin camp right? Will you be doing the RP master?

Well, from what I can tell the Yobanjin battle is ongoing - although it probably stops and starts the attacks on Mountain Watch Keep are going to continue for weeks. So the idea is we're captured relatively early in the battle and probably return to the Keep while it's ongoing.

The thing is I'm a Lion Clan general and I have to lead my troups into battle so I can't be captured to early. I have something 1000 units to command.

I'm sure it will work out, you could get captured on an early patrol or during the battle itself, depending how quickly we engage the Yobanjin.

If you don't want to absent from the fighting for a substantial period of time then this might not be the thread for you.
But I'm pretty sure there's time to lead your troops, be captured, escape, return to the Rokugani armies and lead them some more.

Is there room for a "ronin?" xD
On a semi-related note, does the Legion of the Two Thousand exist in this continuity?

Ok I accept my quite early capture then. Daigotsu Thrakhath, you mean a Spider clan pretending to be a ronin? If I find out you'll probably have serious problems
