The Day of Thunder

Makime cut one of the effigies down. She paused then to take account of the larger battle. It was going well all told. "This wave is near spent! Be ready to move! Gather what you can, but only what is needed to survive! This is far from over!" Some order was finally being imposed over the battle. Sh...

After taking care of the effigy monstrosity, Shang was fresh out of useable arrows and there were still villagers in harm's way! However, not all problems were taken care of with might and brawn! If the Harbinger was going to use song to enchant these villagers to do its bidding, it was only clear ...

Makime for her part was more busy trying to organize the chaos. Directing samurai and villager alike. It was a near disaster for her as the divided attention saw her caught unawares while try to stop an effigy. "Come on you lot! Your Day of Reckoning has come! And good people are bleeding and dying ...

Makime made her way back to camp. She was bleeding from an earlier misstep, but not to badly. The only indication being a slowly growing dark spot in her arm. She takes a moment to re-center herself, but her mind is caught up racing through all that must be done. ---------------- Meditation - LA D7 ...

Kenjutsu Attack Roll. TN 20 | 7k3 ⇒ 14 (TN: 20) Sigh MM

Damage from failed roll | 3k2 ⇒ 19 I am my own worst enemy. Nicked.

Kenjutsu Attack Roll. TN 20. VP spent | 8k4+4 ⇒ 35 (TN: 20) Pass LM even with the nicked

Moving day is down to just the athletics.

1/3 passed if Sora survives the fight with Harby

The whispers filled the air and try as she might, Makime proved unable to push them from her mind. The distraction proved more then she could manage and ultimately the Lion General winds up back in the village. She had to trust the skills of the others to find the route. Makime would just be ready t...

Alright so for the last event. We probably want to find the Battle folks and have us all roll first, so as it looks like the DR is cumulative. Right now after my roll we should be at -5 damage, if anyone thinks they can escape using Battle they probably need to let it be known now. Let's see if we c...

Chaos reigned. Confusion, screaming, terror, madness. Makime walked through it all a calm in the midst of the storm. The villagers didn't particularly like her, she didn't particularly like them either...but duty's demands were always on the Lioness's mind. So she grabbed the first villager to cross...

At the heart of battlefield tactics was a skill at seeing and seizing opportunity, a true master could almost instinctively find her way through the chaos of a battle. Makime was, in fact, a true master. She had spent most of the day after getting the villagers together observing the fog and listeni...

Otaku has to think about this request for a while. It seems to her, frankly, absurd. But she's nothing if not dedicated, so with a pensive frown she eventually puts brush to paper. To the people and leaders of Blue Lotus village: Otaku, vassal of Lady Shinjo, sends you greetings. Tomorrow I go, wit...

Anyone with an older character (50+) got a slot free after the picking of the Thunders? Chu needs an Adult to talk to I'm not sure we have anyone that old... Kaiu Tai is 48, Sora's 46, Anjing LOOKS to be in her 50s (with a bit of Kujo's Day Spa Special Treatment, maybe older), and Makime's in her 4...

Day before the finale.

Oh you know what time it is....ONE DAY MORE


One more day till ritual completion,
we will see it surely done,
I will join these feckless villagers,
They will wet themselves with blood!

Matsu being tactful.

She hasn't quite aged into cantankerous displays of contempt yet.

Shang had been suffering from a sudden migraine as she had been trying to craft this letter. Ultimately, she broke the tone of the letter down as if she was kindly convincing a child to do their chores. It came from a place of good intention, although mired with some passive-aggressive tones. To th...

Technically, 9% of this town now loves Ranmaru.

Two Swords stock has jumped 9%

Ranmaru could save us.

...Chouri is going to be real confused when she has to read out a letter that is just drawings of a man flexing while holding two swords.

I was very nice to them, I opened my heart to these villagers!

The Day 6 Event: Where tTeam Burn the Village and Team Save the Village come together to make sure we have at least 75% of the villagers on the other side on Day 7

Rolls are rolls. I figured I could maybe get 3 points realistically and barely move the needle or try for a hail mary.

Makime stared at the messenger. "They want me to what?" "A letter Lady Makime, both her majesty, Jiyo-sama, the liaison, and Chouri have all requested you write something to help ease the fears of..." Her eye twitched, "Did they now? Very. Well." She opened up her writing equipment and began: TO: Th...
