The big night.
Rumor has it that Sensei Wu first thought of having the presentations happen outside, in a circle of stones in the wild, with the moon and the stars for only light, rocks for chairs, and the icy wind as an outstanding guest star, and that the abbess had to strong-arm him into not inflicting a pneumonia upon the monastery's guests.
In the end, the show will happen in the warmth of the great hall of the monastery. A small stage has been setup for the occasion, and the whole event will follow a quite academical protocol. Each student is expected to come on stage in turn, say a few words about they approached the problem, show off their solution, and leave room for the next.
Sensei Wu will observe each presentation with equal great attention, saluting each conclusion with the same cheerful "Interesting, interesting!". Impossible to know at this point what he thinks, but he seems to have fun at least.
Meanwhile, the abbess and Sennin are bending over backwards to make sure the event runs as smoothly as possible, handling all last minute issues with determined efficiency. Things just won't break havoc on their watch.
The rules
Similar to the previous days
The whole event is treated as a single Narrative Scene.
As the start of the event, set your strife and fatigue to zero, and your Void points to your Void ring.
During this event, opportunities may only be used for fluff, for the extra options offered in some rolls, and in the following ways:
+: Remove 1 strife you gained from this check per spent this way.
+: You notice some details unrelated to the task at hand but quite relevant to the big picture. Gain 1 Information point per spent this way.
School abilities, techniques, advantages and disadvantages, only apply if listed here or explicitly stated to apply in this very thread. All their normal restrictions (once per scene, etc.) and costs (spend a Void point, etc.) must also be satisfied.
Event-specific rules
This event does take place in a specific timeslot and location. If you partake in it, you're allowed to join the spectator thread to roleplay, but not another thread elsewhere.
You can only attempt each ✽ Action at most once (no repeat this time), and are, as usual, limited by your Focus for how many things you can roll for. These rolls represent the part of the presentation your character put the most efforts into, but not necessarily all that they did for it. For example, you don't need to roll for The Speech to have your character make a speech.
You may unmask once at any point during this event, at the cost of losing 2 Impression points, to either (choose one) reset your strife to zero, or increase your Focus by 1 until the end of the event (effectively granting you one additional action).
Rewards
For each 3 Information points earned through the event, you gain an additional Information Tidbit. Roll as many d20 as Tidbits earned that way to determine which ones.
If you match any of the following conditions at the end of the event, you gain the associated bonus.
All eyes on me: At the end of the event, gain 1 Glory point for each 3 Impression points acquired through both both Day 2 and Day 3 (in other words, one third of the total, rounded down).
Balance of the elements: If you rolled as many times using the Fire ring than the Water ring, and as many times using the Air ring than the Earth ring, the elements are in harmony. Gain 2 points if you rolled Fire/Water at least once, 2 points if you rolled if you rolled Air/Earth at least once, and an extra +1 (for a total of +5) if you rolled all rings exactly once.
Examples:
Fire, Earth -> +0
Fire, Fire, Water -> +0
Fire, Water -> +2
Fire, Water, Void -> +2
Earth, Void, Air, Void -> +2
Air, Earth, Fire, Water -> +4
Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Void -> +5
Knowing one's (mental) limit: If you aren't Compromised and did not unmask this event, gain 1 Impression point.
Misc
Owning one or more Resplendent items increase all Glory gains by 1, as usual.
