The Way of Sensei Wu

There was apparently a distance issue indeed, though a strange one, as if a trickery of perspective in real life, with the monster seeming closer than it was. A slight sliver of doubt passes on the creature's face for an instant, as it realizes it has let itself become surrounded in its pride. Fatig...

Grips

You may change a weapon's grip, from one handed to two handed and the other way around, "for free" at the start of your round, when you change your stance. Readying a new weapon requires an action, however.

From Discord:
Would Quick Reflexes apply to using Iaijutsu Cut: Rising Blade in a skirmish?

No.

The stick hits the monster right in the chest with a bang in a nice joust maneuver. This has no visible effect on it at all. https://i.imgur.com/p1ZqjpV.jpg "Should let your horse do the fight for you Moto-boy. I'm sure they pack more of a punch even without fists."

The blade easily strikes at the gigantic creature. The razor-edged tip however just delicately slides on the thick monster's skin, failing to draw blood. https://i.imgur.com/p1ZqjpV.jpg "Trying to tickle me into submission Seppun-kun?"

For some reason, I've noticed that, while I usually use the past tense when I write posts as a PC, I've found myself mostly using the present tense when writing NPCs this game. I wouldn't happen to know why. Felt more natural that way, but don't have a logical argument in favor of that. English, ami...

The laughter rises and rises, eventually becoming unbearably loud and headache-inducing. It is a sound specifically engineered somewhere in hell to wear down nerves. As it reaches its higher note, it changes into an astounding thunderclap, immediately followed by a sudden tremor, leaving everyone at...

You may have mentioned it at some point, but I'm not on FA Discord

As the idiom goes "forum post or it didn't happen".

If event does not have a third participant when I wake up in about 8 hours, it'll be canceled and its current participants allowed to join the Preparing the procession event instead.

Sleep. Please leave ghosting instructions in your private forum before joining Morpheus yourself in partaking in a Conflict event, though I 100% agree this is complicated, if only because rolls don't have an objective result for once with the success/opportunity/strife balance.

Also, a quick reminder of what stances do:

Also, make the best of it because it's not something I say every day, but, to speed things up a bit, I'll allow questions directly on Discord regarding the many technicalities of Conflict scenes that could block an action ("What can I do with my opportunities?" comes to mind). Because, for some reas...

Scene can now begin. Initiative order: Seppun Hibiki: 7 (lower honor than Kindaichi) Kitsuki Kindaichi: 7 Doji Riri: 5 Haruhi: 1 Tokiko: 0 The three PCs may now act in appropriate order, starting with Seppun Hibiki. Please do not wait for me unless an issue arises or the turn of the NPCs has come. I...

Waiting for one more player before starting event.

Yes. I will make the movement check, using the mount rules to get there faster. Roll failed, will not make it this turn. Will spend Water opportunity to reduce strife by 1 D4LM-An Unexpected Opponent-Round 1-Ride to the defensible area-using horse mount: use survival instead of fitness, add bonus s...

Damn. I was certain I had mentioned the D4 festival in the game premise, but apparently it got cut off at some point. Well, if anyone asks, everyone was so busy they all forgot about that once a year event IC. Totally. Ironically, Maya and Naoko were talking about trying to commune with the shrine k...

Sure. A quick map to try to make it easier to follow.
