@ Mönch und Rang: Ok, ist mir auch nicht so aufgefallen. Drum bitten sollte schon gehen, aber nicht fordern. Immerhin hast du eine Möglichkeit erwähnt, wie Isamu sich rausreden kann. Aber um kurz auf die Stellung von Mönchen zurückzukommen:
The Scorpion do not make
much effort to hide their scorn of the Tao, though they do not
take any action to directly confront the monks.
Monks are generally revered, though they do not have a specific place within the Celestial Order. As such, samurai are not required to show respect or deference to monks, though most do. ... The monk has left their old life behind, and the fact that some of them were once peasants and others samurai would make it difficult to interact with them, as one would not know what station should be afforded them. Therefore they are mostly treated with respect and admiration, as to do otherwise could be an insult to a former daimyo. ... Though the Scorpion and Lion Clans might not have the greatest respect for the Tao of Shinsei, they do not deny that its students are worthy and enlightened souls
Insgesamt scheint das Verhältnis der Skorpion etwas schwierig zu sein. Gegenüber alten Mönchen - möglicherweise inkyo, pensionierte Samurai - wird man vermutlich deutlich stärker Respekt entgegenbringen, als gegenüber jungen - oft auch keine Samurai. Aber trotzdem werden die meisten auch mit Respekt und Ehrerbietung reagieren - zumindest äusserlich.
@Tomte/Ikari: Vom Bild her tippe ich auf ein Shosuro
Noch eine Erinnerung an mich selbst zum Aberglauben der Skorpion, (da unser Ziel so unsicher ist müssen wir entweder zu zweit oder zu viert nach unten gehen, drei würde schlecht sein...) und es geht nicht mehr, dass irgendjemand die Gruppe verlässt, bevor wieder jemand dazu stösst...
Spoiler (Anzeigen)For a clan that prides itself on logic, the Scorpion are highly
superstitious, They do not find this odd. Rokugan is a world
filled with spirits (especially near the Shinomen Forest),
and those spirits can become wrathful if not placated.
Superstition keeps harmony with the spirit world, so the
Scorpion may disregard the wrath of invisible ghosts and
continue living in a world based firmly upon logic. They do
not dwell on their numerous superstitions. A Scorpion samurai
says the prayers he needs to say, dons whatever fetishes or
talismans he needs to wear that day, and thinks no more on
the matter.
The Scorpion have many superstitions that other clans find
strange, such as sprinkling salt on a new garment or never
stepping backward through a threshold. Even the Scorpion
cannot explain the origins of these superstitions, though they
embrace them.
Rats are lucky, for they serve Daikoku and the Scorpion
revere the Fortune of Wealth. Those who kill rats are advised
to visit a temple of Daikoku and beg for forgiveness. Cats are
creatures of ill omen who kill rats and anger Daikoku.
The Scorpion often must keep cats on hand to prevent rats
from getting out of control, but attempt to avert Daikoku’s
wrath by giving their cats rude and unflattering names.
Scorpion have many superstitions regarding beauty,
especially in regard to women. A girl born with green eyes,
it is said, cannot tell a lie, and to force her to do so draws
the kami’s wrath. A woman who does not cut her hair will be
faithful to her husband. Any samurai (even a male samurai)
who resembles his mother more than his father is loyal
and trustworthy, especially if his mother was particularly
beautiful. Benten, Fortune of Romantic Love, loves the
Scorpion for their charm and grace, so a particularly attractive
Scorpion is said to be “guided by Benten.” A Scorpion who
has an important secret can go to the Temple of Benten and
whisper it to her; she d keep the secret safe.
The number three is incredibly unlucky, as Bayushi was the
third to fall in the Great Tournament to determine the first
Emperor. Scorpion never leave home in a group of three. It is
better by far to find a fourth, or leave in two separate groups.
