Mission from God coordination

[Ikoma Honoka]

I dodged my ninja!

2/4 successes, so if Sae and Sayomi want to do a gathering info roll we can get to 4 successes!

[Daidoji Sae]

Great work team, Ninjas, just say no!

I'm not sure Sae is athletic enough to just sprint away from one but I'll give it a shot.
Otherwise, let's go talk to some people!

[Kitsu Sayomi]

We have the 4 successes needed to find Tatsuya!

... Sayomi was unable to lose her ninja.

[Ikoma Honoka]

Good job team! Now to see what happens when we meet the target

[Daidoji Sae]

Scorpion samurai trying to interact with the group at every turn, but our heroes ditch repeatedly (in the name of the Empress).

[Ikoma Honoka]

Now for the actual hard part

[Ikoma Honoka]

Ok team, we are up to this thread now!

No rolls yet, just a warehouse 2 Ronin and a ninja

[Daidoji Sae]

You'll probably want to talk things over to get through all the events. Here is a place to do so so's you don't have to drown in pms.

Is there an opportunity for our brave heroes to don armour for The Hinge of Fate if they wish? Or are standard Ryoko Owari social norms in effect/ that would be too inconspicuous?

[Cearnach]

I think that, if you've been lugging your armor around, you could put it on. You are on official Imperial Business after all, and it is the docks.

[Ikoma Honoka]

I assumed we left as soon as the Empress dismissed us (and lugging around armour through a city wouldn't exactly be an easy thing to do)

Although I don't have armour anyway, being a bushi school that doesn't start with armour!

[Kitsu Sayomi]

Sayomi would've spent a couple of minutes to fetch her armor+weapons before going off on a mission! You rarely go into Scorpion lands without a stabbing or shooting.

[Ikoma Honoka]

Those who have armour and have put it on should mention it in the thread then. Which is everyone but Honoka it seems

[Daidoji Sae]

We have contact!

[Ikoma Honoka]

"Agreed, you may be of close age to his child. It could work in your favour."

Hah, jokes on you the child is older than me!

...Wait a minute

[Daidoji Sae]

"This is not optional, ronin-san, get in the car!"

[Ikoma Honoka]

I think I did an ok job, but it's now 1am for me so I'll pick it up again when I wake up! Sorry for taking over the thread

[Daidoji Sae]

You got the results! Now doubtless it’s all sunshine and rainbows as we nonchalantly walk back to Kyuden Ikoma.

[Cearnach]

Complication has dropped.

[Daidoji Sae]

Foreshadowed ronin, I hate those guys!

Sae is likely to plant herself firmly between them and her target and continue the group’s streak of politely telling people to sod off.

I’m thinking we don’t want to let them near our targets. Hopefully they will see reason. If not, we cut to the point?

[Yasuki Ryoichi]

Hopefully they will respect the authority of our magistrate!
