Despair and Wisdom: Imperial March

"I don't want to fight anywhere specific. I don't even necessarily want to fight. I'm a smith and a priest and my entire hope is to support those fighting to the best of my abilities. But I also have trained a lot with weapons and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't raise them in defe...

Agasha Daikumo begins preparing his offerings, pulling several pages from the small bound group of pages. Some old notes he took on proper forge management, a few writings about breaking down and maintaining blades, and some personal thoughts on wooden stakes and how iron or steel would be better fo...

My character has a journal. Can I burn a few pages from it as an offering for fires from within to get the offering bonus?

"Experimenting is probably how most things created by man were created, but were fortunately blessed to be given some things by the Kami and Fortunes. Go ahead and ask," responds with a nod.

"I've made some experimental weapon prototypes in my time. Most of them were definitely not very functional, or were less useful than the weapon I based them on. A spear haft turns out to not be great for mounting a nunchaku. doesn't work very well. You don't get good precise control over the nuncha...

Daikumo nods, offering to help out as an assistant in any capacity that's needed. He stands at the ready waiting for instructions while preparing tools and offerings.

(Skilled assistance with Theology)

Daikumo enters the small intimidating room with the Kuni interrogator and notices the glare he's being given. He stands there without reacting as the Kuni places a finger of jade against his forehead, and not very gently. He doesn't react and can somewhat sense a kindred spirit. Perhaps this was the...

So, the benefit from great luck at the festival seems like it's equivalent to a Distinction for one roll. I believe distinctions and adversities cancel each other out if you have 1 of each that applies to a roll? Can I use that one time bonus to cancel a triggered adversity on an event roll? Or do I...

"Actually, I'm more comfortable with a yari than a sword, so I'm already pretty comfortable with swinging a heavier weapon around. Still drastically different techniques unless we're planning to strap a blade on the end of a tetsubo, But somehow I'm I imagine that would throw the balance off," He re...

Daikumo made his way to the site of the rites. He nods to Mari in greeting as he arrives. This wasn't his particular area of expertise, and he didn't know if he could be of much help, but he would certainly do what he can for the good of the Legion.

"From time to time, but not as a primary function of my duty. I'm a smith and I've made a few that were gifted to visiting Crab to Dragon lands, or for Dragon that were traveling to the wall. And I always test my weapons, so I've done the equivalent of tameshigiri with a few tetsubo," Daikumo explai...

Daikumo technically knew how to swing a tetsubo. He'd done it plenty of times because he likes weapons. But he wants to learn more about it from those that use it daily... also because he likes weapons. He seems to be having a surprising amount of fun, his expression brighter than normal. It's norma...

Not too far off, Daikumo has found the supply tent and has pulled out weapon maintenance supplies to check over the weapons that people used in their battle against Shippai. He is looking over his Yari first, but has since finished and set it aside. He is performing more than simple maintenance, and...

On the edge of rest, Daikumo just barely senses that something is off, but he does so early enough that he can react to the danger quickly. He gets out of his tent and begins scanning the surroundings for what he sensed. The whispers hit his ears and find nothing but a bulwark of will and resistance...

so... im on confront the danger, and that says it triggers ferocity, but ferocity only says it applies when you are trying to hold back or be precise... so does it not trigger for me because I support putting down a madman attacking his allies immediately? because daikumo would be striking to kill (...

Daikumo was there, trying to use his size to his advantage and defend the bridge, but that's the only advantage he has and he's not great at leveraging it in this game. He finds himself being baited and forced to move around more than he's used to and ends up running out of steam. A short sprint is ...

The big Dragon glowered at some local low ranking samurai from the village that spilled their drink on his clothing. Daikumo, looking at the man who was clearly drunk, said, "Maybe you're a bit too many cups in? Perhaps you shouldn't be drinking so much you lose your sense of balance. Or do you expe...

Nearby, Daikumo offers his prayers and respects to the kami honored at the shrine and the festival. He is solemn throughout and offers a bit of his dinner at the shrine when he makes his prayers and offerings. He is quiet and doesn't respond outwardly when he sees his "Great Luck" fortune. Simply tu...
