The Day of Thunder

He takes the bowl in his hands, shakes it around while he listens to her, making the water whirl around. "Saru Shang-nim has helped create parts of the scrolls for that ritual in the notes Satsuki-nim deciphered, geureochi?", he notes halfway through, a small, thoughtful smile lingering on the corne...

Shang squinted her eyes in the dark as she tried to make out Haka by the river before approaching. It perhaps didn't occur to her until now that being out here in the evening wasn't the greatest idea but there were thankfully no incidents on her walk. She would bow back and offer a small smile. "Go...

Ended up going exactly with 'everyone should write what their characters should write'. Doesn't contribute to a good result. Doesn't contribute to a bad result either.

Of course, deciding for inaction is an action and has consequences. We'll see what those will be.

Snip He takes his hand to his chin for a while, then unwittingly finds himself following her gaze and focusing on the ripples along the river. "I... can't say I'm sure. But the things some have mentioned would suggest things some overlap between the waking world and the not waking world here. And e...

Snip Tae-soo wasn't sure what a Baku was either. But then there were many things he'd seen and called by other names, so it might be something he'd seen before? Talking animals, though, that sounded like a Spirit Caller thing... "Huh. So... you'd never spoken to an animal before then, ne?" Furrowed...

Tae-soo had received word from some of those he'd met during his time here. Word about the letters Chouri had asked them to write, and word asking him to provide some spiritual support for someone else who would be writing the letters. He hadn't met lady Matsu before - it would be what, the third fa...

Snip The Dragon would find the oldest Haka squatting down by the river's bank, not far from where their tent was set. He held a wooden bowl on one hand, running it through the water slowly while apparently whispering something. As he hears something behind him, he stops and tries at the same time t...

Snip "Ah... Good to know they were well, then!", he answers, eyes once again shifting between the river and her as if wondering about something. "The river's source..." he wondered. Satsuki knew about it - he thought she'd have shared it with the other Dragon? Should he? He'd heard it said a number...

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 Pe...

Maybe something like Striking the Storm? Striking the Storm [CR] Ring/Mastery: Air 3 (Defense) Range: Personal Area of Effect: Self Duration: 3 rounds Raises: Duration (+1 round) The most powerful winds can turn aside not only arrows, but steel as well. You may summon a buffet of winds that surroun...

Water spell for the Ritual approved. Posting here along with the other ones for reference! We're just missing the text for the Air one, I think? Vermillion Bird Scroll Honor of the Thunders [new spell] Ring/Mastery: Fire 3 [Battle] Range: 30' Area of Effect: Targets up to Shugenja School Rank Durati...

Minor thing here just so we can settle the matter of the Ritual's spells

Thanks

The siblings watched the whole thing in silence. The did nod as each name was announced - Tae-soo more energically at some they had shared more time with. Otaku. Naraku. Nao. Norikage got a deep nod of encouragement as well - he was a Scorpion, after all. The title related to destruction made him wo...

Yeah, that's technically fine. I guess I'm the only one who'd voiced interest and wasn't in a combat before. Was mostly leaving space to other Bushi since combat is mostly the bushi thing after all. All fine though. Slow poster and all, and my activity and interest has been ebbing and flowing all th...

So. Who's planning to jump in? Tae-soo was supposed to be at least half effective in a fight, but I assume there are probably Bushi and others who wanted some action, and I've been a slow poster. So could jump in, but don't want to take spots from others who weren't in a fight yet and want to . Huh...

Tai's Earth spell that is in the White Tiger scroll. Bolstering the Nine Thunders [new spell] Ring/Mastery: Earth 3 [Battle][Defense] Range: 30' Area of Effect: Targets up to caster's Shugenja School Rank Duration: 10 minutes Raises: Duration (+1 minute), Targets (+1) This spell infuses the targets...

Asking for OOC clarification of ambiguous IC elements is perfectly reasonable behavior, that should be encouraged even more. I just wished we had a better framework to do so that within the flow of a random thread (or on the Discord channel, which is more or less the same thing). As for alibi , it'...

I think you are maybe writing a lot of opinion into a likely joke. Something of an unflattering assumption or reading negativity in. A lot of the 'character's' opinion. Could be a joke, but it's still something that the character is doing (well, dreaming at this point). There's a reason I said 'cha...

Like 'Matsu is strong, aggressive, even violent, therefore she can't give birth to girls, one of her boys obviously took to drinking, and Matsu's anger and violence gets worse because she can't give birth to a girl'? I'd say that 'Matsu can't be a proper mother' based on that selection of characteri...
