When is this famed gift giving event? Is that the Feast of Thanksgiving on the game schedule, or something else?

Thank you for the clarity!Ender wrote: ↑Mon Nov 15, 2021 6:48 am1.) You may investigate. I would say this would be best handled with Sentiment, asking around town.Doji Arami wrote: ↑Sat Nov 13, 2021 7:09 am1. Would it be possible to use a timeslot to investigate an NPC using a Skill?
Arami is thinking of buttering up either the Governor and/or the Magistrate with a gift (as Doji do) for an ask in the future, and would want to know these folk a little to give a thoughtful present.
2. Regarding creating artwork as I asked over at Discord, two timeslots (one for procuring supplies and another for crafting/refining)? May we know how you would want us to approach this?
2.) Yes, let's add this, and it can only be attempted once per day.
First to Procure the supplies would be a Commerce check (Yasuki Merchant and Ide Trader techs could apply) TN 2. The difficulty could be reduced by 1 by spending 5 bu.
The second timeslot would then be Aesthetics at TN 2, may increase this to TN 3 to add the resplendent quality to the item.
If I may follow up:
1. What would the TN be for investigating the Governor and/or the Magistrate? And may the Opportunities in the CRB be used during it?
2. Regarding the crafting, it would now be a single Aesthetics roll and no longer the Fire then Air rolls? And would we still be going for different TNs based on the approach? I ask because an Air opportunity allows for the adding of the Resplendent quality to an item (for them fancy Crane arts).

Re: GM Questions
Seconding the question about if we have to use fire approach for making a gift (since that is the only one which expressly says you make a new piece).
Would one be able to use earth to restore a recovered artefact instead?

Shinko got a ridiculous amount of opportunity between two failures on the Honest Work event. (six total on two failures)
Is there anything juicy to use it for? Her reputation for her passion is codified? Her one success is remembered well? She draws a crowd to an event where she blows off some steam?
Just fishing for something to do with it.

Re: GM Questions
In "Stop, Thief," viewtopic.php?f=13&t=380, you note that "To catch the thief before he escapes, the PCs must accrue 25 Stop Points within 5 rounds. If 30 Stop Points are not accrued, the thief escapes." Just to be sure I'm understanding you correctly, do you mean:
- We have 5 rounds to get to 25 Stop Points, then however long it takes to get to 30;
- We have 5 rounds to get to 25 Stop Points, period; or
- We have 5 rounds to get to 30 Stop Points, period?

Re: GM Questions
Regarding the side plots going around, is this something we should be proactive about (by requesting encounters with NPC for example) or are the events already planned and we've just got to wait for then?

Re: GM Questions
What would be the appropriate location for a thread of visiting the horses that were borrowed for the Wilds challenge? Were they courtesy of the Unicorn and all in their lodgings' stables, or is there another location?
Thanks!
