So, since the curse is broken MN, what do we do with the LN thread that proceeds from it?

All a dream? Yuuwaku had a strange dream?

So... I'm a bit confused as to what I and others would remember of the days of the Curse. Do those of us who passed the Void rolls actually remember all 3 days? And what about others? Say, that conversation I had with Kitusuchi on D4, would she remember any of it?

That conversation I tried to have with the fisherman (should probably have hinted at that better, sorry), did it ever happen in the end?

Do Roger or Naida remember any of the fights with the 100 eyed monster?

I'm trying to figure out what Taiki thinks about all this, and I'm a bit lost I guess.

Also - XP spending!

If you made a roll you remember from the day you made the check onward but the rest only remember the last day of the curse.

How does that work for the NPCs? Especially Kitusuchi and that conversation. I had tried to give her hints that something was wrong, but not sure if/ how that worked.

Also - does everything look ok with XP spending? And should I post updates to the sheet or an updated sheet myself?

Thanks!

Quick question - in the core book, it mentions two types of co-operative rolls.

Image

If we were to roll to declare for our clan with this roll, would we be using the first type (where each ally simply adds their skill) or the second (where each individual must roll)?

Question about the 'real hunt' - can we bring a Yumi and some arrows if we don't have one in our inventory? Like borrowing one or something?

Also: can we go in with other weapons? And/or Armor?

For the real hunt, is a dai tsuchi considered sporting or just spears and bows even for boar hunting?

Just to be sure. Would we add the bonus from status to the Etiquette/Awareness roll to give support of the clan to Yuahime?

Was wondering since status already dropped the TN.

Bring whatever you have, you won't be borrowing stuff for the Real Hunt.
