Event query: is that Earth roll meant for resisting corruption (i.e. does Jade or other relevant stuff apply)?

If not, is it poison or disease? For the folks with Jurojin's Blessing/Curse and similar.

I am guessing we do.

But do we take the roll if we aren't eating?

Interested in this one. Naraku has cause not to eat the food due to discovering that the Dreamstone was Corrupted jade, so he is very wary about eating anything they offer.

Would we still have to do the roll?

It is something that Jurojin's Blessing/Curse would apply to.

That said, if you don't eat/roll, you will get a +5 penalty to all Social Rolls with the villagers.

Is it retroactive? Or if we rolled it is too late?

Also can it be offset by a social roll? Not asking for me since I still have disturbing countenance.

Or could we hide the fact we are not eating? Like a roll to make it seem as if we were eating

Could a shugenja possibly do an off camera heal roll for Yukara? I don't want to tie them down for a thread if they are busy, but a little healing would be useful for her if she's going to attempt mighty earth rolls.

If not, totally ok, just was curious.

Seconding these questions.

And, in reference to the latter, I presume it'd be something like Acting or Sincerity (Deceit)?

Edited to add: or Sleight of Hand (like disposing of broccol by feeding it to the dog)?

If you rolled, you rolled. Nom nom.

You're surrounded by people, so you'll need a pretty epic roll for them not to notice. Call it TN 40 for Stealth of Sleight of Hand.

If they catch you, that will make them more annoyed.

Nope. Healing another PC should be on screen.

Now I'm kinda tempted. Do we get a bonus for going above 10 dice rolled? I can never find it in the books.

Every 2 dice becomes 1 kept.

At 10k10, they translate into static +2 bonuses per die.

The vision hit him like a boulder dropped off a 200 foot cliff.

Him, and everyone near him.

Pain spikes as you suddenly see the world shifting around, molded like clay in the hands of a skilled sculptor. Yet there is something consistent in the midst of it. A statue of a tall woman made of stone, dressed in dark blue armor. She stands as a bulwark against the shifting world, protecting eight vaguely human-shaped shadows behind her of far less defined attributes.

Then it ends and you're back in the hearth room.
Does it affect everyone in the Hearth Room, or just those mentioned?

And in case I see the vision. Is the color Crab dark blue?

Reo is going to be helping with constructing defenses, but while he is at it, is there anything like the Supernatural style demon/angel traps that he could whip up? Maybe not a perfect defense, but something that would be a spiritual threshold?

It's within a certain radius of Sora. If you're there and want to see it, you can.

And yes.

That would be ward spells.

Another question but regarding the expedition.

What are the skill rolls for locating spots perfect for ambushes and to place signaling traps?
