Battle Event Coordination

[Hida Yoshiko]

I'll try and give the BBG a good wacking or die trying.

[Utaku Mukai]

If there's a player limit I'll give first dibs to those who didn't get to fight yet (who want to) otherwise I'll participate.

Mukai has plenty of fight left in her (and more if I lay off the Fire stance a bit....)

[Utaku Mukai]

A reminder since it will likely come up:

While you are carrying one or more Sacred items, if you would gain the Afflicted condition, you must choose one of those items to become Damaged instead.

[Utaku Mukai]

Probably won't be acting first.

If I get decent opportunities and the enemy is very mobile I can try to Entangling Terrain them. Otherwise I can try to lower their resistance for those without Sacred weapons (Sacred already ignores all resistance of Tainted/Otherworldly characters).

Sadly I only have two Sacred arrows so I'll probably be more support than damage this battle unless the dice love me.

[Doji Hametsu]

Not knowing what his TN and soak are, but knowing what my skills are, I think Hametsu's primary role is to use Civility Foremost to ratchet up his strife to get him to short out faster. I went Water stance so that I can also shoot him in that first round, but mostly to generate assists for bushi. If someone gets in serious trouble, I also have Lady Doji's decree, which should buy them a round.

[Kitsuki Edogawa]

I'll be trying Slippery Maneuvers to boost our TNs.

Activation: As a Movement and Support action, you may make a TN 2 Command (Water) check targeting any number of friendly characters in the scene (or your cohort during a mass battle). This technique can only be used during a skirmish or mass battle.

If you succeed during a skirmish, choose a position containing terrain that you can see. Each target may immediately move 1 range band toward it. Attack checks targeting any of your targets inside the terrain treat the terrain as having the Obscuring terrain quality. This effect persists until the end of the scene.

Water Opportunity: Each target is able to leverage Obscuring terrain to better effect; Attack action checks targeting them have their TN increased by 2 instead of 1. This effect persists until the end of the scene.

[Fukurokujin]

Last call!

[Usagi Kaigen]

Put the boots to 'em!

[Utaku Mukai]

Well no fancy tricks on Round 1 it seems but Mukai definitely left her mark anyway.

So 10 damage down (that can't be soaked)

[Utaku Mukai]

Well we're dishing out damage at a good clip. They'd be in trouble if they were a mere mortal even if they had 5s in their rings. Of course that's no mere mortal....

[Usagi Kaigen]

I think we sent the right team...

Even if I went back and had Kaigen armor some strife-related Fatigue away, a vanilla katana ain't what we want here.

[Isawa Mari]

I expected not to do that fight with my travel schedule keeping me away. But the damage Mari could do with an invocation is pretty low compared to those shiny blades. Good to see that the team we had are this effective.

[Utaku Mukai]

Note to self: Next time playing an archer invest in some Flesh Cutters for when the time comes to actually finish something off.

Edit: ...which they don't give a price or rarity for despite giving the mechanics... great....

[Doji Hametsu]

Exactly. I have no special arrows because I could not figure out what to pay for them.
