(OOC: That's fun. How do I get those points to get it back?)

ooc: you need to use experience points.

(OOC: Hmm... Now, let's pretend that I don't know what those are. Hehe. If it's a long explanation, just PM me. Because I honestly have no clue as to Experience points or using them to get my guy un-lame.)

Raiden led his horse up the rocky path to the cave. The snows were falling hard. The hot spring was steaming. The cave wasn't deep just deep enough for the samurai.

Raiden left his horse by the hot spring. In the cave were some smoldering ashes probably from the maho tsukai. Raiden threw a log onto the coals and it began to burn.

Shiroku directed his horse in as well, shivering against the cold. Once his horse was settled, he quietly headed to the fire and sat down, enjoying the bit of warmth that was thrown off. He didn't speak, not thinking much needed to be said.

Tama took his injured leg and gently let it rest in the hot spring while he sat on the edge. He sighed as the hot water touched the injuries.

"Damn. The wolf got me good. I won't be using this leg for a while."

"We should bind your wounds, Crane-san." Raiden said. He had come out to gather fire wood.

Tama nodded.

"As soon as someone can find some bandages, we'll do just that. We have enough people bleeding everywhere as it is."

Raiden scooped some snow into his jingasa. He had removed the straps. He put the metal hat on the small fire. The ice crystals melted into water. He added some rice from a small bag he had in his travel basket.

"I don't have more than little rice for everybody." raiden said. "I also have no seasoning."

Tama clicked his tongue, and his horse came over. He reached into a pocket in the saddle, and pulled out a small bag. He tossed it to Raiden.

"Here, put some of this in. It's a mixture of dried meat and herbs. It'll make it taste better. Don't use all of it, though. I don't have much."
