The Way of Sensei Wu

A strange bird flies atop the mountains. A bird made of paper, artfully folded, covered from beak to wings with a delicate calligraphy. A Yogo shikigami, a spirit bound to a physical matter so it can help out the Scorpion in many ways. Today, their role is that of a messenger. Reserved for Soshi Nao...

I plan to reveal all the Tidbits, and the additional explanations that come with them, after the weekend, as well as drop a few polls about what will become of the NPCs. But until then, I'm eager to hear your theories about what was going on in this damn mountain. In part from out of raw curiosity, ...

Was it not for Taka's shred clothes and a few broken trees, you could think the fight never happened. The creature did not leave a single hair, a single footprint, behind. Making a (fluffy?) Earth / Theology roll to see if I recollect anything... 2 sux / 0 opps / 1 strife, https://sakkaku.org/rolls/...

The sun is shining. It's a beautiful day.

Since combat's done, Enraged would seem to be irrelevant, yes?

The creature sights deeply, its breath sending powder snow around flying. https://i.imgur.com/p1ZqjpV.jpg "Just not funny anymore." And then it runs away. Or more rolls away? Its already altered appearance becomes a shapeless mess that tumbles down the mountain at all speed, like an avalanche, or ma...

On Taka's next turn in combat, is there a way to check for some kind of illusion? He's having doubts about this monster thing. Sure. That would be a TN3 Theology or Skulduggery (Air or Void 2) as a Scheme action. [ref: By the Light of the Lord Moon on page 192 for type, The art of investigation on ...

News After dodging the issue for yet another day, Sensei Wu is to finally announce who he'll take as a student in the morning. And then the time for goodbyes will have come. Have you heard? "Sensei Wu's lessons are really something, ne? His students seem to avoid other things as ably as they avoid ...

I think I'll go help with the festival now." https://senseiwu.fallenash.com/download/file.php?avatar=49...

Final day is about 24 hours.

The creature does not even pretend anymore, the strikes going through her like it was made of mist instead of being seemingly deflected. https://i.imgur.com/p1ZqjpV.jpg "A bit repetitive isn't it?" 6 more fatigue taken ??? Fatigue: 17/16 Strife: 0/8 Incapacitated again Seppun Akimitsu: 7 Moto Taka: ...

Going to sleep, will wrap the combat thread tomorrow.

"..."

The creature has turned mute. Sulky even.

Fatigue: 11/16

On one side, a passionate argument, from someone suggesting, with not so innocent emphases here and there, she could see the full picture clearly. On the other, a solid barrage, but not enough to quell her own doubts. The abbess pondered and finally came to a decision: https://senseiwu.fallenash.com...

https://i.imgur.com/wjtNvle.jpg There's a sudden explosion of spiritual power in the clearing. The earth shakes. Trees bend. Snow melt. The figure of the creature dissolves, replaced by a maelstrom of pure primal rage. For an instant, the samurai aren't facing one bipedal monster, but something way...

The blade struck and sliced something. And yet, the creature seems untouched in anything but its pride. A weirdness immediately overshadowed by an even bigger weirdness...

https://i.imgur.com/p1ZqjpV.jpg "Two on one? Where's samurai's chivalry?" For all his talk, the creature is starting to have a hard time fighting all the samurai at once now they're coordinating their attacks. 10-3=7 more strife taken ???

The monster takes the hit, but the blade once again slides on its skin without apparent damages. https://i.imgur.com/p1ZqjpV.jpg "Going for 1,000 strikes technique Seppun-kun? Keep up the pace and you should be done by summer." While the voice is still equally full of of amused disdain, seriousness ...

Hmm..LE D4 is open. Or D5, unless that's a non-rolling day? My ooc time available shrunk for yesterday/today unexpectedly (yay car trouble). Similar to the LBS short games, they'll be a tolerance for fluff dice rolls on the last day. I say fluff because any roll for that would be mostly flavor and ...

https://i.imgur.com/p1ZqjpV.jpg "Come on horse-boy! Come to play with me!" The beast enters the foliage and swings its mace with impossible strength in direction of the Unicorn, simply ripping off the greenery in its way with a flurry of mighty strikes. The devastating attacks brush against Taka......
