Thank you Buttons, saves me the time of explaining to Toranaga, that just because he died too quickly to look around him, it dosnt mean that his citizens were not in the vicinity and actively trying to kill us.

Just a quick up date on that vow people. The majority of people recognise that I am doing my utmost best to keep my vow, and I have actually noticed a slight decline on teaming attacks against me. I do not know if this is coincidence or whether a resu

lt of my own actions. I guess perhaps it is possible that one day the upwardly mobile teaming trend that now exists may actually level off and decline.

Notable exceptions are Arthor and Huzow, both of whom are capable fighters but both of whom appear to make a definate effort to kill me when they can see someone else is already doing a dam fine job. Arthors excuse is that in putting up girdling ritua

ls I am teaming him, so he can team me back as much as he wants. I guess that definition means that all loremasters are teaming everytime they put up a stave, or all mage types are teaming me everytime they set up rits. I doubt he really believes that

, but I suppose he only needs a mere ghost of an excuse to convince himself that his blatand teaming is justified.
