The first three people to roll for this event will roll Games: Kemari/Agility at TN 10 or Athletics/Stamina at TN: 15. After 3 people have rolled, the TNs go up by 5. This will continue until someone fails their roll. At that time, the ball will hit the floor and the game will end.

Just to check, is this 'every roll from now on goes up by 5' or do 3 rolls then up by 5 each time?

The latter.
Kicks 1-3 roll at TN15.
Kicks 4-6 roll at TN20.

Also, Ryoichi and Kenichi, I'm going to leave yours for Cear, who has plans.

Correct. However, the next person does get Takumi's Free Raise to use.

You would need to raise the Influence Score of your House to the next threshold. That would make the whole cascade move up by one point. Or you could marry someone very influential, I suppose, and join their house.

Your mechanical influence rank shouldn't be an impediment to you contributing to your delegation. Remember that deals are made by PCs talking with other PCs and minor clan daimyo. Remember that you can chat with anybody but a Daimyo from a different Great Clan (or Imperial Officer) about anything under the sun. You can be the matchmaking delegate, the delegate who does research, the delegate who tries to patch things up between Matsu Tsuruyo and Akodo Sanae (however challenging that may be). There's not a lot of limit on what you can do, there.

But the score itself is very hard to raise, yes.

Was looking at the Athletics / Stamina rolls.

I've approached Otomo Mariko in court, but I didn't dare make a separate thread until I know whether she'll talk to me or just bop me on the head and send me away. :lol:

Quick question about time in scenes like Court Galleries, where many NPCs are present.

I approached one and had a brief conversation (just long enough to make an appointment.)

Can I approach another?

Or, please don't. 1 NPC per scene. It's fine if that's the case. I just wasn't sure.

You may until the next IC day starts.

Do note, though, that some will not appreciate being made to go next. Pride's a sticky thing, after all.

As the boss monks seem to be happily helping my Crane neighbors create a Benten altar, and there isn't any mention of this major Fortune in the description of the temple complex, does that mean the latter doesn't have anything specifically dedicated to Benten?
