"That would be appreciated Gunso." Amuro says.

"I'm no musician gunso, but I can follow a signal pattern." He mentally associates each command with the appropriate sound. It would be pretty if he was on signal duty, but the message would get through without difficulty.

After repeating it enough for them to get the hang of, he put the whistle back in his waistband and then grew somber. "Now, useful as it is to have a man up here during regular sailing, it gets dangerous during an engagement. There are several ways down from here...anyone have any ideas?"

(GM rolled Battle/Int =40).
"Controlled and uncontrolled descent. Controlled being at least for us bushi, climbing down and jumping preferably toward the water. Uncontrolled being falling. " Amuro said quickly looking out at the extended view of the distance and turning back toward the young Gunso. "I apologize if I neglect due to irrelevance, any method unattainable by those of us without connection to the kami. But I am aware such measures may also exist."

The gunso nodded, pleased smile on his face. "Very good, Akodo-san." Then he looked at the others...apparently, there were a few methods left unmentioned.

"One could insure a rope is tied well and slide down it." Hikaru offers.

"Exactly so, though you have to have a care for your hands...rope burns." He rose up to grasp one of the ropes that supported the mast and which anchored near the forecabin. "You can use this one...I've done so on other ships before. Trick is to take the force of it in the legs...were you log in the demonstration where Moshi-sama had one of the ashigaru knock Hida-san into the water the other day? If so, you saw why."

He grinned, then said, 'Then, of course, there's the fastest but most risky way...which is to run the spar and dive into the sea. I recommend that only if things are on fire or you're taking heavy missile fire because if you slip, well...that's a long way down."

There is a sparkle in Jishaku's eyes as he looks down from the Crow's Nest and back to the gunso. "I can see another way down gunso. Grab that rope there and swing off then leap into the back of that sail, there, and tumble down to the deck, there."

It looks possible, but you'd have to be slightly crazy to try it, and preferably have nine lives or so.

O-washi raised a brow. "Could do, I suppose, but there's reckless and then there's just plain crazy. Prove you can master spar running a few times first and then maybe you can consider adding this new trick of yours to the regular curriculum, eh?"

Amuro gives his fellow Akodo a look. If others had not been around he might have asked him if he was mad. Instead he remains quiet and nods at the Gunso's words.

"Hai gunso." He just shrugs at Amuro's look. Quickest way back into the fighting.

At least the Akodo was obedient. It made O-washi smile as he raised one hand in a 'that's that' gesture. "That's it for the topic, then. Any more questions before we climb down?"

"How long does a shift in the nest last gunso?" He takes another deep breath of the fresh air and enjoys the view.

"Two {Rokugani} hours, usually...the roster's normally for twice that and so each shift contains two or three spotters. Any longer than that and the glare off the water starts to damage the watcher's eyes."

Amuro notes the warnings carefully as spoken by the Gunso.
