Sappers mostly place explosives against a fortification. While it doesn't take much of an expert to sabotage a siege engine.

Seeing as day 5 is approaching anyone who hasn't entered the freebie bet. Quickly get in before day 5 reaches us!  

[Plainsfox]

Nothing to lose, potentially 10k to gain!  

[Rain Yupa]

... what?

Oh, you mean to see who will come in first and second for the overall/iaijutsu?  

[Mongooseh]

No, Who will win events on day 5... My moneys on Kagae right now. Sounding a little cocky I know but seriously. This is his main skill we're talking about here!  

[Psychofish]

I think Denbe could have the Kemari fairly certainly, but... I'm debating how much it interests me.  

[Plainsfox]

Yeah. I know that feeling. Most of the events have interested me more after the fact.  

[Mongooseh]

Though I'd like to point out the difference between practicing kata and using it in a sword dance.

An actual sword dance.
It's like the difference between a real life fight and a choreographed one.

Choreographed fight impressive and entertaining.

Martial Competition between a naginata wielder and kendo practitioner.

What I am trying to really say is I'd like to see the perform skill used.

Man, watching that... if I tried that, I'd definitely get dizzy, fall over, and impale myself on one of my swords. Perhaps both.  

[Mongooseh]

And that was the day rain became Man with two swords impaled in his chest! His powers were to be impaled by two swords in his chest and discrete discomfort when trying to lie down or sit fully back in a chair. Now with breathing problems!

I swear Kojiro has his claw in everyones damned cookie jar at this point.  

[Rain Yupa]

Once Kojiro finds what he's looking for, then I can proceed to start writing up rules for stuff smile

As for right now, my insides feel like there's some sort of razor-toothed critter going to town on me, so the less posts I have to make, the happier I am ^-^  

[Mongooseh]

I have a cure  

[Plainsfox]

Right Right. Picking up the pace. Just need a response from Maru and then Kojiro will do what he can.
