It had been unsurprising that Ichiro had placed in the test of piety it might, however, be a surprise at how well they did in the test of the warrior. Still fate, it seemed, had decided their classmate would still fare better yet. Thankfully they had put aside ego... well put aside enough not to be ...

Does the Great Success result for Art for the Temple also reward 3 glory or is that only if we had landed on Moderate?

Art was in Ichiro's blood even if they had not put much time into exploring that facet of themself. But, still, the shrine needed assistance and it would not do to let it stand unaided. As such they closed their eyes and let the spirit, and the spirits, move their brush. In the end they were left wi...

Though they did not care about winning the tournament, or even placing, they were still determined to do their best to show they had deserved to be here and this was the final opportunity... and one distinctly suited to their training. As such, while nothing is visible on the surface other than sere...

Given that extreme success involves the spirits but basic success does not would Sixth Sense apply or not towards the Temple Art event if rolling Void?

Although not having spent much time in the study of them the last few events had left Ichiro feeling the nearness of their various ancestors - be it their pride or their annoyance - and so they found the task of the Lion easier than they would have otherwise expected. Still finding a way to properly...

Ichiro had some basic schooling under their family before their gift was discovered so the tactics portion of the test was not completely alien to them. In turn even they were surprised at their skill at deception and misdirection - their Scorpion grandmother's ancestors must have been smiling upon ...

Today, it seemed, was not Ichiro's day. Perhaps they had overextended themself the other day or perhaps their mindset and that of the judge were too alien to each other to allow connection. Whatever the reason nothing of use was communicated in the social aspect and, by the time it came for art, the...

The Phoenix nods as they continue to write.

They call them Regret so I suppose foreboding is fitting. But there is still beauty to be found if one is careful.

Architecture aesthetics, or function for that matter, was a little beyond Ichiro but the mountains at least they knew.

Cold but beautiful.

For a moment Ichiro is lost from sight and, when they reappear, they are ahead of the thief and waiting for them. Though they cannot speak the silent command to halt clearly comes through.

Ichiro returned to letting the flow of the city and the people within it pass around and through them as they closed upon the target. (Round 4 - Fitness TN3 as second Fitness roll D4, LA: Round 4 - Fitness/Void - TN3 as second fitness roll this round | TN: 3 | Success: 5 / Opportunity: 0 / Strife: 3...

Having not gained ground on the thief from speed alone Ichiro shifted their approach their determination unthwarted. If they weren't going to outrun the thief they could outlast them - and outplan them. The Shiba disappears for a moment, down a side street, and for a few seconds may seem out of the ...

Whoever rolls Tactics this round gets assistance (1 skill die)

They let out a silent laugh and smile and nod as they write a few, brief characters.

Of course, Kaiu-san.

Ichiro frowns as they fail to gain ground on the fleeing thief but they still manage to cut off some escape routes and direct the fleeing man towards their fellows-in-chase. ( D4, LA: Round 2 - Fitness/Void | TN: 2 | Success: 1 / Opportunity: 3 / Strife: 0 https://sakkaku.org/media/dice/ring/exp0opp...

At your (virtual) table does assistance have to apply to the same skill that generated the opportunities or can it be cross/combined skill? Ichiro has both tactics and fitness and on their fitness check has two opportunities to spend. Can they use that to give assistance on tactics to another player...

Another smile and nod.

Ichiro had not needed the Imperial direction but it was still reassuring to have some hierarchical cover in case any Crane got testy about a Phoenix chasing down a criminal within their territory. Allowing the flow of the city to pass through them the Phoenix moved swiftly and smoothly passing throu...
