As I've said before, the outcomes are acceptable to me, but not the methods. The methods imply a certain disregard for the actions of the player. Now, if I had been warned of the anti-hostile system from the beginning (OOC that is), that would have stopped it from seeming a contrived cop-out.

I admit I have problems with the idea of the anti-hostile system conceptually. It just doesn't seem to fit. It's degree of sophistication sets precedents that I feel would be best avoided. For now though, I'll refrain from further arguement until I find out the intended place the system has later into the RP.

Oh, and Dragonsbane, that airship is mentioned as being made of iron so it wouldn't really be that flammable.

On a side note, I think the monk slaying is getting a bit much. It seems that the moment someone goes off and slaughters something, quite a few others feel the need to do the same.

On another side note, just as an advance warning, I've been considering what kind of resources a shapeshifter who's been around for nearly half a millenium has access to. He will be calling on some of those resources soon.

You and I know that, but Yaburu doesn't know that.

Repost: Also, I'm confused as to where everyone on TE is right now.

Ishumo is walking around in monk robes, in the hallways near the shieldmasters room.

Ayame and Raikotsu are near the Shield Master's rooms as well. Also, Darth SS, it seems Garud is determined to spoil your good intentions.

White Kimono (Tsubasa Hirasaka) is in a deadend tunnel, keeping the tunnels clear of watchful eyes. Black Kimono (Chizuru Suzuki) is closer to the forest BlindMime introduced than the temple, keeping Chiyo out of harm, and they can be drawn to the temple by some excitement.

Also, you shouldn't worry about Blue Kimono (Kiyomi Matsuraba) and Violet Kimono (Rio Ikage). Unless you somehow get into the forest and start messing with stuff, they won't really do anything until Raiden 'N' Co. are long gone.

Actually mintaro introduced the forest I was in with the last of his side adventure. It theoretically covers the entire island and shields the barrier from view. Although thats not my call, this is Raidens toy.

(sings) This forest is your forest! This forest is my forest! (end singing)

Regardless, they're in there, and they're evil, and they'll...do stuff...that is harmful to people that are good.

Wait, Isn't the shield master called the shield master for a reason? You know, Like he can put up a forcefield? Or something?

...why do I get a feeling Rio and Chikane would get along VERY well?

Also, can someone clear up for me exactly what Pyros is, and why everyone is treating him as a god?

Nah, he's not a god. Back then they'd worship anything on the earth that was really powerful, and call them gods. Ifrit is such a being. Well the monks believed him to be a servant of the gods, so they brought him to their shrine so he could commune with the gods and be granted blessings. Pyros, who is confused at life, wasn't able to object due to their vagueness.

The ifrit thing goes back to a long time ago, when Pyros was young and stumbled across the being Ifrit. Well, ifrit was enraged by another fire being walking onto his turf without his saying so (because ifrit was then the lord of all flames) and attempted to discipline Pyros. Pyros tried to avoid fighting, which enraged Ifrit more, and soon Pyros found he had to contend with the beast. Ifrit broke Pyros's current sword at the time, so Pyros fought with Ifrit hand to hand, and beat him into surrender.

This was not good for Ifrit, for if another Fire being bested him, that would mean he was no longer the "lord of the Flame" and Pyros now has control over every fire being in the world. When all the fire beings showed up and bowed to Pyros, he got nervous and bolted. Pyros has many mental issues. Pyros disavows being the 'lord of the flame' and will not direct his minions, and expects Ifrit to continue doing it. But the other fire beings won't listen to Ifrit, as he is not their boss.

The way fate turns out is that now Fire has no reins, and any fire being can do whatever the hell they want to without having any other fire person telling them what to do. So from then on, the only goverment of Fire is anarchy and chaos. So when your house is burnt down by a Flame sprite, You can blame Pyros.

As for the God thing, At this very moment, Raikotsu, Kurama, and Yaburu and others are as strong as any "god" So it means little. If any of you were prideful and stuff, you could walk up to some mortals and tell them to bow down to you and all that stuff.

Oops! Forgot to discuss what Pyros is! The answer is: It's a mystery!
I guess you could call him A Fire Angel. Or something. He's just too pacifistic (is that a word? Heck, it should be.) to do th Firey stuff.

NEXT CONAN'S HINT!:
Conan: Chikane did it! No wait... She did everyone.
