Is it possible that we're visiting the villagers and talking to them instead? Or does everyone in the village know how to to read? :shock:
Chouri is reading it to them. Though a shocking amount of them do know how to read.
Ok, that makes more sense!

But since we're writing, how does various social benefits work on the Sincerity and Etiquette roll?

Will Seven Fortunes' Blessing (Benten) apply?
Or magic that enhances social rolls, like Benten's Touch? (Same goes for Crane tattoo that enhances social rolls)
Those all apply. You are trying to convince them of something, and if they don't specifically rely on someone seeing you, and instead just makes you more articulate and charismatic, then they apply.

Having Failure of Bushido: Sincerity (Tall Tales and Fish Stories and all!) but Sincerity 0 atm, could I call the Raise for no effect needed, or is that an auto fail unless I Void?

Asking as I see there's an alternate ruling allowing the necessary Raise for no effect to be called with Consumed by Perfection (which is still a trap nobody in their right mind would take of course...).

Thanks!

Is the ruling here retroactive? That is, will it affect posts already made?

Yes. People may change their posts if they wish. It is fine if they don't, though. This is meant to reflect their reactions, not any judgement on my part. I think people should write what their characters would say.

For the events is it free reign to join in, or first one succeeding closes it?

Rules: Magic may be used. All active PCs who are not planning to stay in Blue Lotus must participate. In the Escape portion, damaging spells may be used. All advantages, techniques, or other abilities that apply during battle for the relevant rolls apply.
How would various travel spells (like the ones that allow you to fly) affect this event? Specifically asking for the spell Embrace of Kenro-Ji-Jin, which is basically just traveling through the earth.
Embrace of Kenro-Ji-Jin [Core Rulebook]

Ring/Mastery: Earth 2 (Travel)
Range: Personal or Touch
Area of Effect: 1 target creature
Duration: 1 hour
Raises: Duration (+1/2 hour)
This spell allows the target (who can be the caster or one other person) to literally dive into the ground, which becomes as clear and easy to traverse as water for him. He can see for a distance of 100 yards through the earth, and can move through it in any direction as easily as though he were in normal air. The target can see through the edge of the earth into the normal world, but he cannot attack, cast spells, speak, hear, or otherwise interact with those outside the earth unless he emerges from the ground (at which point the spell immediately ends). If the spell ends while the target is still underground, the Earth spirits are offended by the target's continued presence, and immediately expels him into the nearest open air, wherever that might be.

Would Seekers Rank 2 ability that give bonus to defense help with the Go Time Event since we are trying to avoid being hit?

... Holy fuck. I really want to say yes, but I think if you can only move one ring up for down, something like that would be unfeasible.

I'd probably say it's an autopassed Defense roll if you cast that, basically. Can't hit stuff you can't reach. Also, thank you for including the text for the spell, that is a huge help.

Sure, why not? Today's kind of a last hurrah for this game and these particular characters, so I'm gonna lean toward flexibility within limits.

Surprise Party

Do each PC roll independently? Do only active PC roll? Is only a single roll of each kind done for all present?

Everyone does stealth, then 1 person per roll on the other two.

Okay, one more question:

I see people rolling absolutely crazy high stuff everywhere so... What are the limits of Lucid Dreaming? Once per thread?

Escape!: Now that you’ve found the opening, you need to go as fast as possible. PCs must choose one of four rolls to make – Defense/Reflexes to protect someone else, Battle (Mass Battle)/Intelligence to direct the group, an Attack Roll to beat the forces of Yume-Jigoku back, or a Athletics (Running)/Stamina roll to make a break for it. TN 20.
Defense/Reflexes is described as "to protect someone else" in this roll. If I use Defense here,

1. Can I call a raise to make sure Shizuku escapes? (Ayako has promised to get her out of Blue Lotus Village.)
2. Can I call a raise to help another PC succeed at this roll?
