Despair and Wisdom: Imperial March

Continuing to work hard in his duties, Osamu had been aided in sleeping in the strange environment by his exhaustion. But of course, even exhaustion could only do so much in the face of grave anxiety. ... Osamu had resisted the darkness and helped take down the crazed Dragon samurai, but it was his ...

Complementary to Mari's question above, Re: D6 event, the Confronting Danger roll: It appears that if a shugenja casts an invocation instead of just using Theology for an "attack," they're trading a TN 3 with "bonus success can score extra momentum" for whatever the invocations TN is and a flat scor...

What started as a day of highs and lows became an exciting and productive day for the Scorpion shugenja. And exhausting. Really exhausting. --------- Rolls: 1. Respects at the shrine: succeeds . Will have "good luck." 2 strife taken, 2 opps for an info tidbit. Running Total 2 strife. 2. Spreading th...

Dusting off her hands after a fruitless attempt at finding any useable roots beneath a hoof-and-foot-trampled vervaine*, Mari rejoins the column and notices the sedate steed and focused rider. Ribbons limp in the humid air, she marches alongside for a moment, fairly sure she'd seen this one working...

As the journey progressed, and Osamu's feelings of success in helping the legion spawned an ever greater desire to help, he found himself combining tasks. Sometimes in... ambitious ways. It wasn't that the young Scorpion didn't have medical knowledge to share, and certainly the steady and supportive...

Maybe that's why there's no Lions, took the month off due to a miscommunicaiton

I'm telling ya, Pride Month = Lion are off winning the war. Sorry not sorry, pony people.

"With what, Yogo-san?" Hana asks in return, somewhat chill in her reply. The Scorpion blinks at the tone, but continues to look at her expectantly. "With this patient. With, ah, assisting her. I won't call attention to any possible, uh, condition, but it wouldn't be proper to examine or treat her u...

I guess after the Flowers murder Osamu I can step out of the crowd with a Lion.
Victims spring eternal, or something like that.

A Yogo speaking of moral foritutde? How novel. When the Yogo took a moment between this point and that, he was interrupted by an Otomo. "Yogo-san, I have a question. You have spoken at great length of how to mantain one's moral fortitude. But I would like to pose the question of why to you. I have ...

Flinty eyes turn towards the lanky figure, regarding...it...much as one might a dog barking at an unseemly hour. But the hands that belong with those eyes do, in fact, retrieve the requested kit. Tersely, "Kakita Hana, Sixth Kaisha," accompanies the hand-off of the kit. "Hai. Excellent. Thankyou ve...

Another flower blooms from the same soil, spreading its lovely blue petals about. Or someone might describe the scene so, were they inclined more to the peripatetic in their prose than Kakita Hana, who managed not to endure quite the same lectures as the Otomo but was obliged to listen to the recit...

Clustered around one fire amid the rows of tents was a small group of low-ranking officers, shugenja, and especially pious rank-and-file legionnaires listening to a skinny Scorpion priest's lecture on the practical applications of Rokugani theology for an army on the march. Clearly taking his spirit...

Decidedly out of his element/comfort zone in a busy military camp, Yogo Osamu was nonetheless determined to help in what small ways he thought he could... ------- Rolls: 1. Assisting the Operations Chief (Hour of the Serpent): roll Crud. 2 opps => 1 information tidbit ( 22 ). -1 to Discipline 2. Ass...

Thought of another question:

Re: Event D1, applicability of ads/disads Item A: The logistics roll is Earth and uses skills consistent with applying Ebisu's Curse, so I think it's safe to assume i should apply it even though it isn't specifically listed. Item B: The aide de camp roll is Void and uses status/glory, but it's speci...

Osamu will be of little help against scary girls - really most girls are probably scary to him - but he would find studying the effect of consumed gaijin pepper on ronin *illuminating*.
