[Day 4 - MN] The Curse ReManifest [Event]

[Hitomi]

Event Type: Main Event
Participants: Unlimited.
Timeslots: Mid Night

Description: Something is compelling some people of the village and castle to leave their homes and walk towards the beach and into the sea. They continue walking until they are beneath the waves and drown. What could be doing this to people!

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.

If they make the roll they can participate in the event. Magic is allowed, one spell can be cast either on themself or another in a hostile manner.

A player can participate up to three times, each time the TN increases by 5 for each subsequent attempt. They can repeat any choice only once.

Choose from below:

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.

Baywatch!: The player dives into the sea to save people; this is an Athletics + Strength check at TN 15 (Includes the +5 for treacherous waters) to save 2 people. Each raise saves 2 additional people but failure means the player suffers 2k1 wounds due to the cold and losing their breath and each raise increases that damage by 1k1 per raise if it fails.

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.

Judo Chop: The player makes a Jiujutsu + Agility check at TN 15 to grapple and tackle a person and keep them from going into the sea. Each additional raise stops one extra person and if the roll is failed with raises they suffer 1k1 plus +1k0 per each additional raise beyond the first.

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.

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.

[Asahina Sanaharu]

[Day 4 - MN] The Curse ReManifest [Event] - Void TN 10-15 + Void for +1k1: 4d10o10 35

Flowers on my hand
I see the moon on the sky
the ocean I don't
and may never walk to
on the line of horizon

Sanaharu had a beautiful and strange dream tonight. He had on his hands a bunch of flowers, and went to the beach once more, remembering what he wanted to show the Ichiro — the reunion of moon, flowers and the sea, and the ephemerality of the seasons reflecting the ephemerality of life itself. When he made a poem about being like a child stuck in time, he meant that he was immature. Not literally young and stuck in time.

He opened his eyes, waking up, to notice he was somewhere strange. Above a hill, no flowers on his hand, looking to the beach. Many people were driving themselves to the waters. What the hell was happening. Some things were not meant to be literal. Poems were one of them. He had to do something. This was bewitching, unnatural. He tried to convince people, getting on their way. The peasants answered this by punching him.

[Day 4 - MN] The Curse ReManifest [Event] Damage: 2d10o10k1 8

He endured the blows, grabbing their shirts, continuing to reasonate, this time screaming. For his surprise, it worked.

Saved 2 people, took 8 damage.

[Yue]

This again.

Yue was tempted to write this off as a massive coincidence. Crab were known for constantly throwing themselves into danger right? What was so different if they did this on a nightly basis? However, she couldn't pretend that she thought that was actually the case. She supposed she should do something about this, again.

This time, she tried a different approach as she ran towards a pair who were destined for the sea. However, her enthusiasm was dampened knowing that this was the second time she was doing this and perhaps found herself cocky as a result. She missed her reach and took a face-first tumble into the sand. Now, she was irritated and drew her bow to take a few shots at them. This was perhaps the most comfortable stance to approach this incident and flung a few arrows at the doomed peasants. However, she wasn't quite as successful this time and only manage to peg one of them on the shoulder while the rest went down into the water...

Edit 2: Yue saved 3 people instead with the storm gone!

[Ichiro Taiki]

Taiki started to feel the same pull he remembered from the day before. This was definitely ominous. He started to make his way, got to the main room of the Inn, tried to focus, tried to think. This pull told him to go to the beach... He couldn't simply let go, he had to do something.

It was like a fight inside his own head. It was exhausting.

So exhausting, in fact, that he fell asleep on the floor, right at the Inn.

OOC:
D4 MN - i.e. D3v2 - The Curse ReManifest; Void TN 15. FR from remembering to grant+5: 2d10o10k2+5 13

[Daidoji Kio]

Kio would not be a coward and tried to dive after someone but the currents were too strong and she was not able to pull them free without nearly drowning herself. She tried to tackle another but again her small size gave her no advantage.

She was angry with herself, how would she be a great samurai if she couldn’t even stop peasants!

OOC: Kio tried

Athletics + Strength TN 15 Kio + Prodigy: 5d10o10k2 13

Damage to Kio: 2d10o10k1 9

Jiujutsu + Agility TN 20: 4d10o10k3 11

[Moshi Minari]

Minari was ready for this shit to happen again and this time she had even been waiting for the first signs of something amiss. This time her belongings were safely stored away and she was dressed down to her usual sailing-wear; short pants and chest-bindings, the usual thin haori she was over was missing this time as she knew it would get in the way. A knife was tied to her belt, along with a warrior-figurine.

Seeing the first signs of trouble she dove in to pull people back to shore, using rope this time to get several people along for each go.

And the rope was put to good use again once they were back on land, to make sure they wouldn't wander out to sea again.

[Otomo Saisei]

He had imagined something odd would happen during the night and manage to stay awake to see people leaving from the inn and into the sea shore. He shakes off from the grip of the sea, knowing all too well this was a curse, as the voice of his ancestors kept reminding him every other moment during the day.

Once near the beach, the points his fan and shouts to them. "By the powers bestowed upon me by the Child of Heavens. Stop at once!"

"You two there, too. There's no escaping Imperial power!" The Otomo crosses his arms, looking at them with narrowed eyes of disapproval.

[Doji Yuma]

The previous day, Yuma was taken by surprise. Not anymore.

He waited in the middle of the street for people to try to pass by him, a pale figure under the moonlight, his extremely long, free flowing white hair enshrouding him, letting the powers that be express themselves through him.

When the horde arrived, he stood before them with all the energy he had mustered and spoke:

"Return. To. Your. Bed."

They complied.

[Kitsuki Tanaka]

Tanaka was already on her way to the shore line, having realized that the day was repeating. She had the foresight of memory to aid her now. And this time her impassioned pleas proved more successful. Particularly her second plea, a lot of emotion from yesterday flowed out in one single beautiful cry for sanity.

[Kitsuki Naida]

Despite being ready for this happening again, Naida fared no better tonight in saving people. It seemed she had really done her best yesterday. It just wasn't her thing. Those who could swim seemed much more suited to this than her shouting at people, or being an old woman.

She did all this on the assumption that those being lost in this way did not come back in the morning, if this was even going to repeat yet again.

[Yoko]

Tonight Yoko was ready. Remembering how the previous night she felt suddenly and impossibly drowsy out of nowhere she came with a plan. Stood between the village and the beach she faced herself toward the village. Reaching down she touched her toes. Left arm stretched far to the right, and right arm to the left. Stretched both arms far toward the sky and then reached down low.

Rolling her neck, she gave herself a nod, "Let's do this."

As the sleep walkers started to make their move, so did Yoko. Rushing forward she tackled the first, getting them to the ground and with a piece of rope quickly wrapping it around their feet. Wasn't much of a wrap, but she figured and hoped the sleep walked wouldn't be able to make much sense of it. Following up she got to the next, doing just the same. It was tiring work.. but it was at least two more lives.

[Fuzake Hifumi]

Hifumi tried to return to the beach, prepared to save whomever she could. this time, however, sleep overwhelmed her. She wondered what would happen to those she'd saved the first time as she lost consciousness.

[Ikoma Ren]

Ren has been preparing for this since the realization that this would happen again.

"Let's see if they believe me now."

This time, there is no reason to panic. No need to run about with a naked blade.

"Minna-san, you must wake up. You all have early mornings. See, I told you to bar your doors."

Ren ducks a punch he had remembered from last time, making it look like he was a trained fighter, letting the pair of men stumble into each other and wake themselves/

Ren beams pleasantly at them. "Let's get you inside"
