The Day of Thunder

[Ryoshun Nao]

Satsuki and/or I could boost you, too.

[Kaiu Tai]

Well, I was a tad ambitious and failed by 1 on spellcraft for an ML 3 spell. We'll see if I can try again, and/or should try working on others for those with less Spellcraft.

I do really love the idea of transmuting materials, btw.

[Togashi Satsuki]

Cooperative rolls could totally be a thing for those not the best at it.


Stats-wise, yes I know I could probably dedicate all of Satsuki's time to do this, but I much more prefer for everyone to participate IC and get to contribute. I don't like hogging story-points alone.

[Ryoshun Nao]

Even if it's just fluff, I'll probably still use transmute. The issue is that the spell description gives the example of turning an object into a different element, but doesn't say whether you can turn an element into an object. I imagine it would follow rules similar to summon.

I'm interested in the actual spells we make.

[Isawa Kyosei]

Rolling Spellcraft/Int, I have 9k4, or 10k5 with a void spent. Glad to collaborate with others, if needed.

[Hiruma Naraku]

To make the poison ink I roll 9k4 without void. If someone boosts me to reflect the magical nature of it, we could aim for a high TN

[Saru Shang]

THE PLAN

Hello!

Not wanting to get things lost in the shuffle and getting them out now but Shang has also succeeded on her rolls.

Day 5 - Early Afternoon, Artisan: Painting/Awareness on Scroll Construction: +2K0 from school, +1k1 from Void, 3 raises called. | 10k5 ⇒ 46 (TN: 35)

Day 5 - Late Afternoon, Perform: Storytelling/Awareness on Scroll Construction: +2K0 from school, +1k1 from Void, one raise called | 10k5 ⇒ 59 (TN: 45)

...I felt tempted to push for 4 raises in the Story but that's flirting with PERFECTION!

[Togashi Satsuki]

Rolling Spellcraft/Int, I have 9k4, or 10k5 with a void spent. Glad to collaborate with others, if needed.

If Kyosei would create the spell for the Earth-scroll, that would be great.

Roll is Spellcraft/Intelligence against TN 15 + 5xMastery Level.

[Haka Tae-soo]

Completely forgot to post the roll for the water spell here btw!

D5 LM - Attempting to develop "Guardian of the Deep River", ML 4 Water spell. TN 35 as per https://dayofthunder.fallenash.com/view ... vel#p15634.
+2k2 (Int +2) due to Satsuki's Mental Quickness casting; +3k0 due to Fire Kami's Blessing. VP for +1k1. Satsuki's help (cooperative roll) for +4 to roll! Group project with group effort to cheat at difficult test go! | 10k6+4 ⇒ 57 (TN: 35)

Asked on my PF if the spell needs to be started or just handwaved too, but no answer yet - likely because of dreams and dayflip! I'm guessing handwaved or at most roughly described?

[Ryoshun Nao]

I'll attempt to make the Air spell. What else do we still need to do?

[Togashi Satsuki]

Calligraphy and the ritual itself. Waiting on word back from Chuchu on the latter.

Duration: 10 minutes
Raises: Duration (+1 minute), Targets (+1)

For the duration of the spell, all targets gain +5k0 to resist any kind of Fear effect or Corruption/Taint, whether magical or natural. Additionally, the earth kami envelop the target with their embrace, covering his skin with a stony barrier that repels physical blows. The target gains Reduction of a value equal to 5x the caster's School Rank, to a maximum of 20. However, this spell is associated with the prophecy of the Nine Thunders, and those whose connection to the Thunders is tenuous do not receive the same degree of blessing from the Earth kami. Samurai who are not of the original Nine Great Clans receive only +3k0 to their rolls to resist Fear and Reduction of 3x the caster's School Rank. Anyone who has at least a full Rank of Shadowlands Taint cannot benefit from this spell, although this will not actually reveal that they are Tainted.

Chuchu special contribution!

"It's quite the work. Alone it would have taken too long to do it all, but with everyone working together we've been able to make it happen so quickly..."

Chuchu's eyes take on a strange shine while she examines their work -- as if reflecting a meteor shower. The world slows to a crawl as she raises a hand to pass it over each scroll.

As she does so she draws forth a vibrant glow onto the parchment that simmers and sparks to life. Its scenes change. Half-symbol, half-real nezumi join the men below, arms raised upwards to the stars that burst into existence above both on the page. Everything her magic adds is bright and shining with the intensity of something more Real than reality itself, vibrant thrumming so potent it can be physically felt the closer one leans towards it -- and it does not dim or fade even when Chuchu sits back to admire her work.

"You need need need Name for this," She finally breaks the silence. "You humans are corruptible. Your magic is, too. Bring this scroll to my people every three years, and we will purify and strengthen its Name for you. Do this, and peace will return to your dreams and your people." The shaman nods, satisfied, and wags her tail.

[D6EM] Name Lore TN 20, three called raises for special effect. Bless Name active for failure re-roll. +1k1 Name point to protect the Dreaming. | 10k4 ⇒ 61 (TN: 35)

That spell is so good

[Togashi Satsuki]

I roll 6k5 for all Craft rolls, let me know what gaps need filling in.

If you could Craft: Scroll, that would be neato.

[Ryoshun Nao]

We are missing the Craft: Scroll, Lore: Spirit Realms, and Earth spell.

Oh, I should have done the Spirit Realms roll instead of Caligraphy.

If the dicepool is the same, we could ask for it to count as Spirit Realms?
