Magic or Whatever: If a player wishes to use magic or another supernatural ability please consult the GM, this option can be done only once.
Tempest of Air

Ring/Mastery: Air 1 (Thunder)
Range: Personal
Area of Effect: A cone 75' long and 15' wide at its end
Duration: Instantaneous
Raises: Area (+5' to the width of the cone), Damage (+1k0), Range (+5' to the length of the cone), Special (+5 to Air TN against Knockdown per Raise)

You summon a powerful gust of air emanating from your position that crashes into all in its path, knocking them to the ground. All targets within the area of effect suffer 1k1 Wounds and must make a Contested Roll using their Earth against your Air. Every target that fails suffers Knockdown.
Would pushing back people with a (hopefully) gentle breeze help?

Yes, it will get 1 person per raise.

For Curse Manifest:
Snap out of It: The Player can attempt a Courtier + Awareness or Intimidate + Awareness check at TN 15 to snap someone out of the haze; they can make a raise to snap one additional person out of the haze. Failure means they fail to get anyone, failing with raises means the people attack them dealing +1k1 plus +1k0 per each additional raise beyond the first.
This sounds like persuading someone to break out of the trance? Do (Manipulation) emphasis and/or Benten's Blessing apply to the Courtier roll?

Would like to have made sure Kintaro knows the exact nature of the Wards being placed on Yushoko's room then!

If someone was in the D3MN thread and passed the check then, and they pass the D3.1MM check to understand this is a time loop, does it help with the D3.1MN check?

In general, if we succeed at the MM check, how precisely do we remember the original D3?

Do characters recognizing the time loop still get +2 to rolls from Haunted guidance, or is that only for those characters who themselves don't know what's coming?

They still get it, way to be haunted.

They interfere and constantly sass or question you.

Haven't participated in the Curse event on the first D3 ( :? ), and now I've noticed I've got some questions about it.

Rules: Before the player can join this event they must resist the call to the sea. This is a Void check at TN 15, if this roll is failed the player falls asleep where they are. If the roll is failed by more than 5 they are now compelled to walk into the sea and die.

Players that made the Void roll at the start of the day, get a Free Raise to one roll in this event.
So just to be sure - can the FR from making the Void roll at the start of the day be used for the TN 15 Void check?

Also:

Choose from below:
Stop or I will Stab!: The player attacks the affected people and tries to keep them from going into the sea. This is an attack roll with a weapon, not Jiujutsu, at TN 25 and each raise can allow them to stop one additional person but failure means they fail to stop anyone and if they make raises they kill a person by accident , plus an additional person per raise and this reduces the total.
So, for 'Stop or I will Stab!' making the attack roll at TN 25 stops ONE person, and each raise saves ONE additional person - is that it?
Also - Could we use Kata for this? (in Taiki's case specifically, the Strength in Arms Kata to attack using the Strength trait)?

Rewards/Outcome: If players rescue a at least 15 people, no samurai or players are lost and if they reach 30 then no one is lost, otherwise many peasants are lost to the sea. If less than 10 people are saved a random named NPC will be lost to the sea.
Also - it seems like it's become harder to not let anyone die?? Seems like we need to figure this out SOON! : :shock:

Yes it is harder.

You can use the FR on the Void roll, sure. No you can't use a Kata and yes you only save 1 at a time for the stabbing.
