The Day of Thunder

Yeah I'm not really suited for the last step unless we end up desperate from the dice laughing at us. My 4s are Void and Reflexes neither of which really applies well to 'be loud and/or draw attention'

If we get multiple attempts at the Investigation I can give it a (decent) shot with 9k3 without using Void. If we only get one shot though I'm happy to defer to someone with a Xk4 since Sakkaku has been mocking my decent shots today.

Assistance on Stealth would be beneficial.

Since Birb wants to know order and most of the alternates have already declared a preference:

Actives: (No particular order)
Reiko Ohta
Kaijarisuigyo
X
X

Alternates: (In order)
X
Sugri
Sora

Second to last alternate

Chuchu

Would like to be last alternate

Ok made it nine hours post event posting but the urge to be there when (if) my ex character dies is too strong to hold back anymore.

I'll take an Alternate slot though so anyone not in a fight yet can go first.

For some reason, all things considered, it felt right for Sugri to be here for this even if he cedes first action to the Rokugani. He did, however, point out a few spots he considered advantageous for striking down their prey. ( D7, MA: Find the Right Spot - Investigation/Perception, +4k0 Understand...

If I do end up Alternating (I kind of want to kill my old character but also want to give folks a chance who missed other combats) I can give 9k3, without Void, towards Investigation but will likely fail Stealth and don't really have anything appropriate for the last so would leave that to someone e...

What exactly is an alternate? The person who takes up on the sword should the person with the sword die?

Going in anyway. Kai is very much meh mechanically, to not say awful... But one more meatshield is one more meatshield.

Yep. When someone falls an alternate can step in.

The first time he had visited this forest there had been only the sound of leaves. It seems that today was another story and the confounding racket through him off the trail.

(And Sakkaku strikes again - 93% odds... but at least I don't have to check for bloodlust, I suppose.) Speed was more important than tact in a matter like this so, against his better judgement, Sugri launches an arrow towards the hand of one of the cultists hoping to do minimal collateral damage. It...

(As much as Sugri's player considers showing off the Guru cares not for glory and only for successfully saving people)

Though the feeling in the air was oppressive the guru knew it was not Air itself that was at fault. As such he once more performed his daily exercises greeting the hidden sun and oncoming rain as he embraced, and was embraced by, the wind.

Ohta definitely interested. Quite stealty. Yes yes.

I don't think you've had a combat yet, have you? If not I say grab a slot if you want one.

Sugri is good at the Investigation part but unskilled at Stealth plus I've been in a combat already.

So I'll put myself down as a 'potential alternate' for now unless we have a real lack of willing bodies.

Sugri's letter was sincere and heartfelt and, surprisingly, free of any cross-cultural faux-pas. Unfortunately it was also written from a cosmological perspective mostly alien to Rokugan and even those parts that overlapped didn't exactly translate well between languages. Hopefully, in this case, it...

"Using your nerves to drive yourself forward, sensible. But you would have to be a man of drive to come all this way." She permits herself a quiet sigh. "Eternal is such a timeframe, even a thousand years is barely the blink of any eye. Almost makes everything feel meaningless, almost." "The time, ...

As the rat-kin bounds away from the Spider Sugri approaches in turn. He draws one of the flesh-cutting arrows from his quiver, one with slightly mussed fletching compared to the others. "This arrow missed him once so it would be inauspicious to grant it to an archer. But, if the champion is Shinsei...

Don't fuck it up! /jk

I mean, Congrats!

Sugri watches intently as Nozomi declares each Thunder. Most he had not properly met but he simply had to trust that the selections were correct. If they survived this endeavor perhaps he could learn more of them as individuals, instead of icons, at that time. He looked through the crowd at the othe...

Team: 'Happy to jump in if not enough haven't-fought-befores' but waiting to see if that's the case or not.

If joining I can likely make the Investigation.

As he arrives Sugri offers Nozomi a deeply respectful bow and an encouraging smile even if he knows the latter will have little impact on mood in such straits. The Invindi man does not stand with those gathering to be potential heroes but finds a place off to the side. Whatever occurs, this day and ...
