The Day of Thunder

"Considering the alternative, the hospitality is good enough for me," Ayako said with a wry smile. "I'm glad to hear your other clan-mates made it out. I hope the villagers survived - I don't think most of them were part of the evil thing that we were fighting. But with the big magic that happened, ...

"Good morning Isawa-san. And see as well Crab-san. This one is Shang of the Saru, I think I've seen you at the village in passing." "Good morning, Saru-san," the Crab said with a polite bow. "I'm called Yoshitsune Ayako. I believe I met your cousin Ranmaru earlier. How did the Dragon fare during th...

Did Enrou end up surviving the Day of Thunder and its aftermath?

What was up with the stuff Enrou was smoking and/or sneaking into our food? Was he knowingly trying to corrupt us?

Yoshitsune Ayako was also up and about that morning, looking around the camp to count noses among the Crab contingent and what few villagers made it out with the samurai.

"Good morning, Isawa-san," she offered to Kyosei as they crossed paths.

Turn it into a tourist trap.

There's already an annual festival with lots of interesting local rituals, LOL!

What ended up being the criteria for choosing the Thunders, if it isn't a secret? Was Shizuku an originally planned NPC or did she suddenly become one when I asked what her name is? (naming is powerful :) ) The "Go Time" event describes "anyone still in the region deepest within Yume-Jigoku will be ...

I hope someone does something with the village and shrine. That seems like it should be a Dragon or Crab thing, or monks or even a Minor Clan or something. I'm not sure if we'll get Minor Clans the same way this time around, or at all. I'm happy to work towards giving Crab protection to Blue Lotus ...

When the strange little human girl skips past Ayako she does a double take, pauses, and cheeps out, "You need some help?" Ayako whirled with axe raised, as if expecting an enemy ... then lowered her weapon as she saw that it was just an ordinary girl. Though, for some reason, the girl made Ayako fe...

After hurriedly helping Shizuku pack her things, Ayako began running to the outlying farmhouses to get the word out. “Come on!” she exhorted them. “We’re getting out of here! You’ll be safe with us, but you gotta move !” “B-but my water buffalo!!” wailed one of the farmers. “It’s all we’s got!” “Lea...

Yoshitsune Ayako, in full armor, guarded the left flank as the column of Crab moved out. Her axe ready, the young Crab grimly scanned the perimeter for threats. Pausing for a moment to make sure Kaiu Tai was keeping up, Ayako glanced over the rest of her charges. Ayako’s expression softened when her...

As the villagers began to raise the cups to drink, everything seemed to move in slow motion for Yoshitsune Ayako. As if viewing herself from a long distance, she saw herself step between two of the villagers, slowly raising her hands to knock each of their cups aside. The teacups began to fall, the ...

Yoshitsune Ayako arrived from a side street, having driven the effigies back from the healer’s house. There was a feral snarl on her face as she hacked viciously at the unnatural constructs with her axe, sending bits of straw and wood chips flying with every swing. — 7LM Protect villagers, Agility/H...

This is it, Ayako thought, as she saw the first of the unnatural effigies staggering towards her. The young Crab had been standing guard on the healers’ house in case of more trouble, and … sure enough, trouble had arrived. She remembered the ceremony - was it only a few days before? - where they h...

Edit: That being said, my idea for the last roll is memeworthy: Athletics / Strength to entice the Harbinger into fighting.

I think the audience demands that Ranmaru lure the Harbinger into the ambush with the power of flexing.

For "Go Time" event: 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 ...

She cut herself and called on the healing power of water, as she had before. There was an unexpected surge of energy that rushed through her and into the Crab, rapidly mending all of her injuries. Ayako sighed with relief. "Thank you! I feel much better," she said. "Don't think it quite were Yume-D...

"Is anyone injured?" she asked those gathered.

"Thank you for coming, Ryoshun-san," Ayako said, bowing politely. "I've taken some minor wounds, and I think we've all had a .. very peculiar experience in what appeared to be Yume-do."

[Ayako is at 32/92 wounds (Nicked).]

Heya! Could I bug anyone for a small amount of healing in the day 6 combat, or in a time slot after that? Ayako is down ~32 wounds which is not too bad, but I'm guessing it might be a good idea to be at full health for day 7.

medicine on Ayako day 6 | 4k3 ⇒ 20 (TN: 15) wounds healed | 1k1 ⇒ 9 The bandaging did seem to give the Crab some relief. "Thank you, Akodo-san," Ayako said afterwards. "That should keep me going until I see a healer." [Ayako is now at 32/92 wounds (Nicked).] The child in his arms had begun to quiet...
