From deep on the bench, if no alternates tag in, I nominate you guys for Minor Fortunes of Badassery...
If we had had a BIT more luck, we might. As things are... not sure really :lol:

EDIT:
Back for a short moment before bed.

If TS's turn comes back up, my suggestions for ghosting would be to cast Path to Inner Peace again (either on him again to maaaybe avoid penalties later, which may end up dumb again, or on Anjing or Kai depending on how they're doing), rolling 9k4, or Reversal of Fortunes on whoever is around and could use rerolls to hit or cause more damage.

He casts with 7k3 for Tempest of Air or Earth's Stagnation, but with +15 Wound penalties that's not exactly good.

Also don't forget your Heart of the Water Dragon heals (and TAi-soo's before he casts again!). Maybe we'll get more than 1-3 per die this time! :lol:

14 taken (11 after reduction), 15 healed at the same time.

So I guess not even a scratch? Plus curse removed?

Effigy 1 probably has a trick, but that must be a Complex Action trick. Might be worth trying to Knockdown it.

How many more hits do we think the effigy can take? 1 or 2?

Depends on dice luck I would say. :lol:

The first effigy probably was Earth 4 / 76 Wounds (if total wounds is effectively that weird Earth x19 I remember them to be). Assuming the same for the second, I would say it's unlikely to die in less than two hits? So far, it has taken 16+16+17-3xReduction (I think Reduction still applies to magical damages unless specified?)

If it's Strength 3 and/or GM dice are merciful, it might get knocked prone once again. If not... Shit is likely going to hit the fan.

Hm.... how is Anjing doing now? I could try to take down the Effigy so the Harbinger is no longer guarded?

Surprise party, Tae-Soo's heart of the water dragon procs from round 3 attacks on Anjing. | 2k2 ⇒ 19

Thanks to Tae-Soo and another void point I'm still able to ignore wound penalties.

Taking out the last effigy would be hugely appreciated if possible.

For bushi, don't think there's a greater strategy than hitting the effigy then the Harbinger now? Let's do that.

Sounds like a plan, if Kai/Ohta can ice the blocking effigy the battlefield will be clear and then it's pile on time.

Well. Ohta hit it. Not sure if it's up or down, though

The blocking effigy should be quite broken. Actually, if Ohta managed to kill it before Kai's attack, it's the Harbinger that must be suffering right now. 42 on a k2 is very much on the far right of the curve.

Harby's only Earth 3.

I would say she's hitting "ohfuckohfuckohfuckohfuck" territory.

I would not count on her wounds being the same as a PC.

39 + 30 + 29 = 98 damages in one round

I don't want to be excessively optimistic. But I think it's dead.

Almost in time to finish it before the game! :lol:

Seriously though, we'll see I guess!

Yep pretty sure that'll do it.

She was already looking very hurt. So unless they had another phase planned for her that should be the wrap.

Anyone in the fight need Void points for the future events?

Already made all my rolls for the day, and didn't even use all my VP x.x

Will see about getting more slots, should have 3 healing slots remaining after that if anyone needs it!

That said... if VPs are on offer I could take 1 or 2, Sugri :)

Decided to do my best Momoku impression and spent no void as well.
