She has four stable stalls, and for anything else, the farmers are allowing people to use their barns.

I assume the arrows that hit Shinsei are non-recoverable. Is the one that missed able to be recovered?

Question raised by Tae-soo that I was also wondering about, as the *second* investigative party heads toward the Dreamstone cave:

(OOC: Ugh, shifty connection, had written that a while ago! Tae could do a quick check of the unseasonal flowers I guess. He'd also look for any sign of streams or anything of the kind as we get near the cave - have you folks seen I'd there's a connection to the river or anything of the kind in previous trips?)
Does the cavern visibly connect to any streams/surface bodies of water in the direction from which we're entering it?

Or do we have to search further to discover whether/where its underground reservoir connects to any of the water above ground?
Bumping this in case it was missed (unless Tae-soo got an answer separately?). :oops:

What would be the TN to track Hoto-Hori and Ukyo?

Would it be possible to ask the kami to reveal their tracks, similar to this?
Whispers of the Land
Ring/Mastery: Earth 2
Range: Centered on Caster
Area of Effect: 50’ radius
Duration: 10 minutes
Raises: Area of Effect (+50’ radius per Raise), Duration (+5 minutes per Raise), Special (+1 day of tracks per two Raises)
This spell was originally developed by the Kitsune family of the Fox Clan, who used it to help track intruders in the lands of their modest clan. It has since spread to other families who find its properties useful, such as the Yogo and the Kuni. The spell causes the Earth spirits to reveal the tracks of any person who has walked upon them within the last three
days. The surface – whether it be stone, earth, or wood – literally pushes up in the shape of the tracks, creating a clear and easily-followed path.
(Note that, unlike revelatory Air spells such as By the Light of the Moon, this spell does not merely reveal actively concealed tracks but also normal unconcealed tracks that are too faint or old to normally be seen. For example, By the Light of the Moon would not reveal the barefoot tracks of a servant who walked across the floor of a dojo, but Whispers of the Land will do so.)

What roll would sniffing the scroll Naraku has for its writer's scent + searching for anything they've touched be, and, would Nezumi Scent still count for it if it's not a hunting roll? Chuchu wants to sniff around the cave and later the town.

And while I'm trying to get my brain to shift from wiped out at work mode into IC posting mode...

How many tents *can* we reasonably cover in the 30' diameter circle of a Ward of Purity? Currently sitting in a roughly 30x40 room and mentally hacking 10 feet off a side and thinking 4-5 of even the standard '6 person*' tents we tended to have out at faire would fit pretty easily. And most folks here likely have something smaller since they were carrying everything as they walked here.

*6 if you're just laying out folks to sleep all crammed next to each other, more like 2-3 comfortably with room for all the gear to be stored alongside sleeping space.

Also on the cave expedition - if we do want to make one or a few more torches or light sources. I'm thinking maybe Hunting rolls for that? Or would something different be more fitting?

And if necessary (given rain and dampness) I'm assuming summoning fire might help?

Tae-soo got an answer. The creek emerges from a spring on the hill to give more detail. It's definitely fed by the lake.

this is a reasonable spell to exist at this time.

It would be a Hunting (Tracking)/Perception roll. Tn 20 for Chuchu, since she has a very sensitive sniff-snoofer.

6 tents if they're squished close together, 3-4 if they're reasonably spaced.

Yeah, I think Survival is a hunting emphasis. It'd be that and Perception to find materials, TN 20.

It will be detailed soon. If they already have said curse, the curse gets worse. I'll detail that in a bit as well.

I'm guessing using social skills to impose will on the dream probably doesn't count as resisting a contested social skill/technique? Or a Fear effect?
