Looking to get permission to cast ward of Purity on myself and my daughters bedroom. Without offending our hosts :)
Granted the Kuni will come by and inspect it.

Is there a place in the village for meetings that wouldn't attract a ton of attention?

I mean it depends on what attention you are trying to avoid.

A place where ronin and samurai could congregate without too much attention or bother being raised

The Hole? The beach? Inside of town anywhere is going to get some notice.

In the Dinner event, since Ren is the only Lion would he be the one to take on all of the challenges

Yes, if he chooses to. Since you are so small they don't expect you to.

Would the chant leader in the earthy pepper festival be able to benefit from voice on the Meditation/willpower roll.

I figure not, but no harm in asking.

Thanks, and one last question related - if I'm in the castle for an MM thread, can I also count that as being a time where I get checked out by the Kuni?

I don't want to doge the Kuni in my attempts to help out, after all.

For the Earthy pepper event - just to see if I understood everything correctly:

we either
- create a team of 4 PCs,
- or go solo (which means doing the Endurance part and assuming 6 points among the other 2 parts),
- or join Kitusuchi's team, which means her + 3 PCs.

Is that it? Are there other NPC teams that might be joined?

For Kitusuchi's team: Crane got first pick, then if her team does not end up with 3 Cranes what happens? First come first serve?

Thanks!

If you want to join a team it should be players. Kitusuchi is the exception and the Crane have first pick as she requested them. Otherwise you can go solo.

Since magic is allowed for the Earthy Pepper Festival, does that mean we can cast on Reversal of Fortunes three times, one for each role and roll?

Also, seems like the first two rolls don't come with any bonus or penalty for either success or failure without raise. On purpose?

There is no penalty if you don't call raises and fail.

And the magic is fine.

Thank you for the answer, Dapper!

A more general question: is there some place we need to report for the Kuni check you noted early on, or is it hand-waved with a "this is your mid-morning" slot?

Does Toku Rank 1 trigger only on a base TN 25 or can Raising the TN also trigger it?
