I feel like we've done this before in other war-ish games--volunteer threads for PCs with various sorts of competencies like healers etc. So I thought, now that we have an enemy army clearly on the way and Spooky Stuff in the woods, perhaps we could start an informal roll call of people who are good at scouting patrols/guard duty and willing to volunteer for such things?

No obligation one way or another, but perhaps this will make coordination slightly easier for folks who are interested in RPing reconnaissance etc. to find each other.

So! Myo-en is a pretty capable scout and watch-woman--high Perception, good Hunting and Investigation, decent Stealth pool. (Also decent in a fight, albeit slightly squishy compared to an armored bushi.)

Seppun Miharu here. Honorable scouting that Kougyoku would approve. None of these sneky tactics. Ok job at coordinating troops. Squishy in fights, maybe...

If you need me, let me know.

My investigation roll is okish, with plenty of void to spend. Decent stealth roll, decent to good fighting stats. Lil squishy

Good at the guard thing, not so much the scouty side.

I'm no good at fighting or sneaking, but I have a decent hunting and investigation, and a horse I can actually ride well.

Potentially good at Hunting. Passable at Stealth. Same with Invesitagion.

I like scouting! Truthfully I'm not great at it, but I run away fast!

Truly, that is the most important trait for a scout though! :D

Not terribly good at anything fighty. Lore monster, adequate courtier and investigator.

If you need someone to loan void points or walk across water, Kodama's your guy. Otherwise he's probably a liability on scouting missions.

I'm not really much on stealth, but I have a random assortment of spells and have 6k4 on investigation

I have a few attack spells, and some buffs as well, if needed (good long ones, too!). But, bad health means I'm a liability to actual battle.

I consider myself a descent scout. Specially since it is an aspiration of the character.

Decent to good scouting, have a few battle spells, and need to get my hands on buffing people spells.

Monkhbaatar is available. No good at stealthing, but he can ride, climb, jump, swim, shoot and some basic hunting skills.
