L5R - Cartographers - Mapmaker's Tent (OOC Thread)

Because you're a new player to my L5R, I figure just in case, I'd let you know about XP expenditure. For the most part, I'm okay with you spending any accumulated XP at any time, except during a scene.

So you can't go, "Oh, if only I had a rank of, say, Hunting, I could contribute to this situation!" ninja *spend 1 XP for 1 rank in Hunting* "Hey guys I can help!"

Generally, the most "appropriate" in my eyes is overnight, but during long stretches of time (say, while traveling) it could be spent as well. smile

(That said, I'm playing a shugenja in Plainsfox's "Desert Winds" game so I know the feeling of "I need my rinngggsssss" so I'm in no way encouraging you to spend XP now. Just letting you know you have the option 4laugh )

Rain Yupa

Yes, I need rings. I'll be hoarding XP like a dragon hoards gold for a while razz

Thank you for letting me know, I'll keep in mind when expending it.

And I'm ok with advancing the scene.

Tsuyoshi tried to do anything but relax, ensuring everything was made ready for their travel, and then made a patrol of checking around the mountain, on the off chance he came across any signs of them being followed still, and only when all else he could think to do for the day was done and light began to fade would he allow himself a short soak.

Not without a Perception/Investigation (Search) you ain't.

[Psychofish]

2xp on Investigation 2. Do you want us to annotate that somewhere on the profile or the XP page for recordkeeping purposes?

In the Experience Log thread would be swell :3

[She checks the "health of the kamis", if nature and the elemental kamis are undisturbed she believes everything is fine.

You'll need to actually cast sense to know this. Each casting will tell you the element you used to cast (so Earth roll to sense Earth kami, Water for water kami, etc).

You don't HAVE to do every element, just the ones you want to sense. smile  

[GustyFox]

Sense Air
6k5 = 46

(depending on what I sense I may pick another element, but still don't know which one)

Chiharu would nod in disbelief. This is a serious lack of manners for the heimin, especially crane heimin.
She waved her right hand towards the men urging them to assume a more proper posture.

—You, please stand up and offer a proper greet to Miya Ayame-sama, the Imperial cartographer.

I'll need you to back that up with an Awareness-based skill of some kind. Likely Courtier or Intimidation.

Courtier.
5k4
-1k1 because of Ebisu Curse
+0k1 Benten's blessing (I suppose she is more like teaching the right thing to do than coercing them)

4k4 (if BB applies): 24
4k3 (if BB does not applies): 21  

[Psychofish]

4k3 Hunting/Perception to determine what they're smoking/if he's arresting even more peasants.

7+4+1=12

...they're probably just really happy peasants with some fresh tobacco?  

[Rain Yupa]

Paidi tou Selini

[Intelligence/Medicine (Herbs) 4k3 vs. TN ?? to identify the smoke
Roll: 4, 8, 5, 9 = 22]

20 if you've only ever read/heard about it.
15 if you've been exposed to it once or twice.
10 if you've been enough opium smokers to recognize it by scent.

(The TNs are a bit higher because you're trying to determine it by odor alone; Tsuyoshi was going by more clues than that)  

[GustyFox]

Hey everyone.

I'm going to be on vacations until January 8th so I won't log in as often as I would like.
Rain Yupa may take Chiharu if necessary. smile

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to every one ^__^
