Savage Worlds Ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II. (c) 2009 Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
Hida Sashimi: Streetwise {+2 Merchant (Buy/Sell)} [1d8+2 = 9]
Masakari (Kuutai): thats pretty good
TADM: Need to shrink it a little.
Masakari (Kuutai): is there a MUSASHI hero unit?
TADM: Maybe...but not in the initial release. :)
Masakari (Kuutai): lol
Masakari (Kuutai): can you do Nanori and challenge individual units?
TADM: With certain Honor cards, yes. :)
Masakari (Kuutai): Spiffy.
Kazemi (Kazuki): I would like to strap a lot of explosives to that door over there.
Sensei activates the "way back machine."
TADM: Your request is denied.
Kazemi (Kazuki): dammit
Byakko munches on food, oblivious to the carnage that will break out shortly.
Yukiko tries to decide which of her possible husbands will be least hideous.
Villager watches with glee and enthusiasm as Kuutai burns power points without realizing that he might need them when the "way back machine" catches up with the present.
Kazuki does not drink any of the alcohol
Borudaa yawns and patiently waits outside...
Kazuki: Hey, Byakko, are any of the villagers capable of fighting?
Kazuki: I would assume not, but I would also assume that a small town could not exist in a warm and comfortable environment in these mountains.
Byakko: No, we are pacifists by nature, this is why you must protect us from the Frost Oni.
Hida Sashimi: I was wondering about that too. For a place named "Burnt Mountain", there's an awful lot of snow and cold
Kazuki: OK. How many entrances to the village are there?
Nick (Hida Sashimi): Unless it's freezer burn
Kazuki: "Burnt" not "Burning"
Byakko: Yes, the snow and cold came when the vile Borudaa did, and he brought his army of snow oni.
Byakko: Before then, this was a warm and beautiful volcano filled with lush and tropical splendor.
Kuutai: That doesn't make any sense Byakko - you all seem to have thematic cold and snow based names; clearly you have some sort relation and past with the cold
Byakko: Well, we adapted to his arrival....
Kazuki: Wait, so you changed your names?
Kuutai sits back and observes.
Yukiko: No.
Yukiko: It has been cold since I was born.
Kazuki: OH
[TOWER] Hida Sashimi -> Notice [1d6 = 2]
Villager munches on food and is completely oblivious to the conversation at the main table.
Kazuki: How long has Borudaa been terrorizing these regions, anyway?
Byakko: Oh, I don't quite remember, I have lost track of time.
Kazuki: Was he here before Yukiko was born?
Byakko: Shortly before her arrival.
[TOWER] Hida Sashimi -> Kn (Regional Cuisine) {+1 Def. Interest} [1d6+1 = 9]
Kazuki: You mean birth?
Byakko: Yes, exactly, that's what I meant!
Kazuki sips his Orange Juice
Kuutai: Notice [1d10 = 3]
Masakari (Kuutai): oh ffs.
Kazuki: Notice {+2 Trapsense, +2 Alertness} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+4 = 8]
Hida Sashimi: Please, Byakko, tell us what's really going on here. It will be easier on all of us
Masakari (Kuutai): Check her nationality.
Hida Sashimi: Persuasion {+1 Etiquette} [1d8+1 = 6]
Hida Sashimi is using a benny
Hida Sashimi: Persuasion {+1 Etiquette} [1d8+1 = 5]
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Kn(Lore & Legends) {+1 Defining Interest} [1d4+1 = 11]
Nick (Hida Sashimi): damn
Nick (Hida Sashimi): So either a) we're not really in Hinote Shima, or b) we are and this is all some strange illusion/trick
Kazemi (Kazuki): B
Kazemi (Kazuki): without a doubt
Kazemi (Kazuki): No doubt at all
Kazemi (Kazuki): but it could also be C) All of the Above
Nick (Hida Sashimi): Or c) the Oni are really the villagers and the Oni are the people. Which is why I didn't drink the potion earlier >.<
Kazemi (Kazuki): and D) Not in the Mortal Realm
Masakari (Kuutai): Bah, okay.
Kuutai: Smarts [1d10 = 3]
Masakari (Kuutai): I give up lol
Masakari (Kuutai): vitamin C is toxic to ducky people
Byakko looks at Hida Sashimi.
Byakko: I am not sure what you are implying, but everything I have told you is the truth.
Byakko: You are in Hinote Shima.
Hida Sashimi: From a certain point of view
Byakko ponders this for a second.
Byakko: Hmm...where have I heard that before?
Kazuki leans over to Byakko
Byakko looks at Kazuki.
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Smarts {-2 Pool Effect} [1d6-2 = 0]
Kuutai ponders for a moment
Kuutai: Smarts [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
TADM: Well, at least that was a success.
Kazemi (Kazuki): from a certain point of view
Hida Sashimi: Notice {+1 Def Interest} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+1 = 4]
Hida Sashimi is using a benny
Hida Sashimi: Notice {+1 Def Interest} [1d6+1 = 5]
Kuutai: HRM
TADM: If the group needs to all go to the bathroom at the same time so you can group huddle out loud, I'm fine with that.
Kazemi (Kazuki): good
TADM: We will assume that Ikuko and Daichi distract everyone.
Kazemi (Kazuki): We do that
Kazuki: OK, so I'm 100% certain that Yukiko is from Hinote Shima
Kuutai: Im 100% certain that....there aren't many people here.
Kazuki: They have the right accent and such
Kazuki: I'm also certain that she was not born here and was brought here at a later time. Everyone in the village has been taking care of her
Kuutai: ...or that everyone in the village is only 'a figment of her imagination'
Kazuki: That being said, this village is fake. There's no wear and tear on any of their tools, she's the only person who has any personal affects, and this village is too perfectly isolated
Hida Sashimi: So, in other words, if you had just raped her like you intended, we wouldn't be going through all this song and dance?
Kuutai: Oh, there would be song and dance. =)
Kazuki: Go to sleep tonight. I dare you
Kazuki >:D
Hida Sashimi: Also, the foods are unusual. There are no cold dishes anywhere in this region
Hida Sashimi: They like thinks hot and spicy
Kazuki: There's no cold ANYTHING in Hinote Shima
Kazuki: You don't get snow at all
Kazuki: And if there was this much snow having been around here since Yukiko's birth, we would DEFINITELY have heard about it
Kuutai decides to be a social butterfly, and goes and asks random NPC villagers about their past
Kazuki: There are numerous stories about children of the snow and their interaction with the world. However, none of them revolve around Hinote Shima because it is far too hot normally for snow to fall except at ludicrously high elevations (i.e. about 18000 feet). However, from her mannerisms and speech patterns, you are entirely certain she is from Hinote Shima.
Kazemi (Kazuki): Hm, that was odd
Nick (Hida Sashimi): Yes. It was
Kazemi (Kazuki): Well, that's about what I learned in the whisper
Kazuki: So, the question is why is she so important
Kazuki: He got here slightly before her arrival, so I'm wondering if it was a preemptive attempt, or if she was stolen from him or something
TADM: I think I deserve a benny for the whisper I sent to Dave.
Hida Sashimi: So, what you should do is marry her right now, then as soon as the Ice Oni shows up give her to him
Yukiko: I'm not here listening in, but I OBJECT!
Kuutai: Don't be so cold!
Byakko: I agree, the contract was that you could not marry her until after the Oni-Kaji was defeated.
Byakko goes back to not listening.
Yukiko resumes eating also.
Kazuki: Absolutely not
Nick (Hida Sashimi): No he offered her hand. He never stated we had to defeat it first in order to obtain it
Kazemi (Kazuki): You should've read the fine print
Sensei: Okay, so....ready for the doors to burst open and Borudaa the Oni-Kaji to arrive?
Masakari (Kuutai): Sure!
Sensei: Or is there anything else you want to discuss among each other or with Byakko or Yukiko?
Borudaa: Can I play now?
Sensei: Yes.
Borudaa: Awesome!
Kazuki: Stealth {+2 Thief} [1d10+2 = 19]
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Notice {+2 Trapsense, +2 Alertness} [1d6+4 = 9]
Kazuki: If you don't mind my asking, Byakko, where is Yukiko's mother?
Masakari (Kuutai): Kinky.
Byakko: Hmm...I expected her to be back before the feast. She must have become lost looking for mushrooms in the deep wood again. Poor thing has no sense of direction.
Byakko: I knew I was forgetting someone...
Kazuki: WHAT?!
Kazuki: HOW DO YOU
Kazuki facepalm
Yukiko: Well, that and you talk to mom about once a week.
Kazuki: Is she...healthy?
Kazuki: or is she a bit...y'know
Kazuki points at his head
Byakko: True, things have become much less exciting since she took that vow of silence. Much harder to hear her shout, "Help, I'm lost!"
Yukiko: Your tracking skills have improved quite a bit though.
Byakko: True.
Kazuki: How often does she go missing?
Byakko shrugs.
Byakko: I lose track.
Yukiko: I think about once a week.
Kazuki: I thought your tracking skills were improving?
Yukiko: Not mine his.
Byakko: Yes, I go out looking for her once a week and bring her back.
Byakko: I really must convince her to stick with gardening.
Kazuki: Clearly skilled only in physical tracking and not temporal...
Byakko: Meh, time is an ephemeral thing.
Kazuki: Why did she take a vow of silence?
Kazuki: Especially if she gets lost?
Byakko: She got tired of losing arguments to me.
Yukiko (coughs): BULLSHIT.
Hida Sashimi: Do you always seem to find her in the same area, or close to the exact same spot?
Hida Sashimi: Persuasion {+1 Etiquette} [1d8+1 = 8]
Kazemi (Kazuki): I like these two
Byakko: Not really, but that is a good idea, I should come up with a list of places to check first.
Kazuki: You should post signs
Kuutai: Spellcasting [1d6 = 10]
Masakari (Kuutai): BLAST is a great tool.
Kazemi (Kazuki): Amen, brother. It's a shame you have to actually pay power points for it, though
Kuutai has been awarded a benny
TADM: Benny for the question. :)
Kuutai: Hrm. Seems we have a new objective folks.
Kazuki: What's up?
Nick (Hida Sashimi): Hurray! He found the NPC to talk to that triggers a miniquest!
Kuutai: SOME object of power...it has to be Borudaa's objective, as it prevents his snowy conquest!
Byakko: Err...yes, I believe I mentioned before that he needs to wipe out the village if his army of snow oni are to move down the mountain.
Kazuki: Kuutai's hinting that it's not the village he needs to wipe out
Yukiko gets out a checklist, marks, "On my next life, make sure I marry a male who listens..."
Kuutai: Hrm. Interesting Chap, this Borudaa. I'm reading that the tropical resort market here is highly competitive, and that a ski resort could really make a killing.
Kazuki: So, given that nobody in this village has any personal belongings...
Kazuki looks at Yukiko
Borudaa: So can I kill some people? I'm getting really bored...
Masakari (Kuutai): COME ON DOWN!
Kazuki: Or I suppose your mother could have something with her
Sensei: Not yet, they are stalling in the hopes that Daichi shows up.
Borudaa sighs.
Kazemi (Kazuki): MEAT SHIELD
Hida Sashimi: I don't think it would be a killing. Too many moguls on one slope
Borudaa: Wait, if they go punny then I am charging through the doors.
Sensei: You have my permission.
Kazuki: Nonsense, we'll just push Hida out
Yukiko: Do I have your permission to kill whichever one I hvae to marry?
Sensei: No, it is completely against your character, and you just lost a benny for asking.
Yukiko sighs.
Byakko: Yukiko, are you arguing with the Narrator?
Sensei: Right...so...ready for combat?
Masakari (Kuutai): THUNDERDOME!
Kazemi (Kazuki): I s'pose
Masakari (Kuutai): go go ProFantasy Software!
Nick (Hida Sashimi): I just hope we don't get plowed over when he storms in
Kazemi (Kazuki): there
Round 1
Dealing cards...
Borudaa was dealt the Red Joker! Go whenever you want this round. You also get: Joker Trait/Damage Bonus [2]
Borudaa: Foolish creatures, you cannot stand against the might of an Oni-Kaji! If you throw down your weapons I will kill you quickly and painlessly.
Kazuki: Are you sure about that?
Kuutai: You shame your fellow Oni-Kaiji, worm.
Kazuki: Wait, what do you mean?
Borudaa, to avoid wasting his joker, swings his konobo around like a tree trunk as he runs by the tables, smashing them and reducing villages to an icky red pulp.
Kuutai
Kuutai: Notice [1d10 = 8]
Nick (Hida Sashimi): He can destroy entire villages with one swing? Uh oh
Borudaa: Damn straight I can.
Sensei: No, I'm pretty sure I meant to type "villagers."

Kuutai: Spirit [1d6 = 17]
Masakari (Kuutai): Leapin Lizards!
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Notice {+2 Trapsense, +2 Alertness} [1d6+4 = 8]
Kuutai seems to go into a trance, and screams out something a language that no one else can speak. Then his face goes expressionless and drool comes out of one side of his mouth.
Kazuki: Well, this bodes very poorly
Yukiko: Okay, so it looks like Kazuki is my best option.
Yukiko looks at Byakko.
Kazuki: Wait, what about me?
Hida Sashimi: I pity you and your children
Yukiko: Can I commit seppuku in protest of your decision?
Masakari (Kuutai): lol
Byakko: Now is not the time for that discussion.
Kazuki
Masakari (Kuutai): Awww....Worth a try.
Kazemi (Kazuki): Full Defense
Kazuki: Full Defense {+1 Acrobat, +1 Signature Weapon, +1 Block} [1d10+3 = 9]
Hida Sashimi
Nick (Hida Sashimi): hold
Villagers scatter, dive out windows, and in other ways flee from the battle as fast as their running die can carry them.
Yukiko dives out the window behind her with amazing skill and grace.
Kazuki applaudes
Byakko: Courage! Fight well!
Byakko: D12 [1d12 = 10]
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Notice {+2 Trapsense, +2 Alertness} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+4 = 9]
Byakko casts Boost Trait fighting on Hida Sashimi, increasing his Fighting die to a d12 for this combat.
Borudaa: Wait a minute...
Borudaa stops and gets out his, "Fight Scene Script" and looks at Byakko's stats.
Borudaa: Oh carp.
Sensei: Hida is on Hold, would you like to act or remain on hold?
Nick (Hida Sashimi): yes. til i get higher than a 4 or he moves closer
Round 2
Dealing cards...
Kazuki
Kazemi (Kazuki): HOLD

Borudaa: Rats!
Borudaa is using a benny
Kazuki: OH MY GODS
Kazuki: NO
Borudaa: Fighting [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
Borudaa: Hmm...okay, I guess I missed.
Kazuki: Whew
Kuutai claps at Boruda's good sportsmanship
Kazuki: Agility Trick! {+2 Acrobat, +1 Pool Effect, +2 Shadow Arts} [1d10+5 = 14]
Borudaa: Agility [1d8 = 6]
Hida Sashimi
Kazuki catches Borudaa's legs in his Kusari-gama's chain to trip him up into a table
Kuutai claps for Kazuki
Kazemi (Kazuki): You can't clap! You're brain damaged!
Borudaa falls backwards onto a table and smashes it into pieces of kindling.
Kuutai (shaken)
Kuutai: Spirit [1d6 = 4]
Kuutai is using a benny
Masakari (Kuutai): I want to act this turn
Sensei: Kuutai may act this turn.
Masakari (Kuutai): It is possible to get to him just by walking, eh? I would have reach there?
Sensei: Yes, you can hit him from there, he's a big guy
Hida Sashimi: [1d20 = 18]
Masakari (Kuutai): 5 pt fire bolt, point blank
Kuutai: Spellcasting (Multiaction Penalty -2) [1d10-2 = 4]
Hida Sashimi: [1d12 = 2]
Hida Sashimi: [1d6 = 4]
Sensei: That is a hit Hida, since Borudaa has a -2 Parry this round. And Kuutai's spell also goes off.
Kuutai: Bolt damage [2d6 = 6]
Kuutai: Bolt damage [2d6 = 10]
Kuutai: Bolt(Enhanced) damage [3d6 = 14]
Hida Sashimi: Chopsticks, iron damage [1d4+1d6 = 8]
Sensei: Hida stabs Borudaa...and hits something very hard and solid...the flesh on his arm does not bend or give with the impact.
Kuutai fires off a bunch of bolts, and the first two merely scorch his skin and leave no mark. The last one causes sparks to fly from his chest and a wierd steam-escaping hiss comes from his mouth.
Borudaa is using a benny
Borudaa: Vigor [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
...Which seems to only mildly discomfort him.
Round 3
Dealing cards...
Borudaa was dealt the Red Joker! Go whenever you want this round. You also get: Joker Trait/Damage Bonus [2]
'Tricked (-2 Parry)' on Borudaa expired
Nick (Hida Sashimi): stop that

Borudaa: Boo yah! I am a champion!
Kazemi (Kazuki): So you say now
Borudaa: Check out my Joker Awesomeness!
Sensei: That hits Kuutai.
Kuutai: Take this staff, accursed abomination! Take your wickedness from this realm!
Kuutai: Bo damage [2d4 = 2]
Kuutai hits Borudaa with the Celestial Staff and there is a hollow gong sound that resounds through the hall.
Byakko: Also, before Borudaa gets to revel in his Joker, I would like to perform an action.
Byakko casts a spell on Kuutai.
Byakko: D12 [1d12 = 3]
Byakko: Fudge. Borudaa: Now can I go?
Sensei: Yes.
Borudaa tries to smash Kazuki with his Konobo.

Borudaa: Bite me spellcaster boy.
Borudaa: Oh, and that is 2d12+3, get it right.
Byakko grumbles.
Kuutai
Kazuki is using a benny

Sensei: Second action?
Kuutai: Fighting (Multiaction Penalty -2) [1d6-2 = 6]

The Chopsticks bounce off Borudaa's skin.
Kazuki
Kazuki: Agility Trick! {+2 Acrobat, +1 Pool Effect, +2 Shadow Arts} [1d10+5 = 22]
Borudaa: Agility (+2) [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+2 = 4]

Kazemi (Kazuki): no problem!
Borudaa: Suck.
Round 4
Dealing cards...
Hida Sashimi was dealt the Black Joker! Go whenever you want this round. You also get: Joker Trait/Damage Bonus [2]
Hida Sashimi
Byakko: Wow, what's all the Jokers?
Hida Sashimi: Fighting [1d12+1 = 17]
Kazuki knocks him down again, this time so he falls on the end of one of the heavy tables and getting it to flip on top of him
Masakari (Kuutai): Grats!
Sensei: That hits with a raise.
Hida Sashimi: Chopsticks, iron damage (+2) [1d4+2d6+2 = 14]
Hida stabs through Borudaa's foot and a jolt of electricity runs down his iron chopsticks. A thick black liquid begins dribbling from the injury.
The room suddenly goes frigid, you can see your breath crystallize and the fires of the village glow an eerie blue for a few seconds. There is a clap of thunder and a black bladed Katana appears before Kuutai.
Widowmaker: You have summoned me in exchange for souls mortal! I demand to be fed!
Byakko: Whoa.
Borudaa: I object.
Byakko points at Kuutai.
Byakko: He did it!
Kazuki: If you hit me again I will end you
Borudaa points at Kuutai.
Masakari (Kuutai): lol
Borudaa: He did it!
Kuutai: I did it.
Kuutai
Kuutai Widowmaker on Borudaa
Kuutai: Drink deeply and be quenched!
Kuutai: Fighting [1d4 = 2]
Kuutai is using a benny
Kuutai: Fighting [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Sensei: That hits, since Borudaa is at a -2 Parry.
Kuutai: [2d6 = 9]
Kuutai chops off an arm. There is the screech of tortured metal and a large quantity of the black, viscous liquid spills from the wound. Borudaa howls in pain.
Kuutai: May you be sated, even for a moment....
Widowmaker: MORTAL! THIS ONE HAS NO SOUL! I DEMAND SOULS!
Masakari (Kuutai): Uh oh...
Kazuki: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?
Masakari (Kuutai): Who could have forseen a faustian tragedy?
Widowmaker: CONSTRUCTS OF METAL HAVE NO SOULS FOR ME TO FEED ON! FEED ME OR I SHALL FEED ON YOU!
Kazemi (Kazuki): Fool of a Tack!
Byakko: Okay, I'm going through the window on my next action...
Kazuki: Wait, metal?
Kazuki
Kazuki: Are Oni often made of metal?
Kazuki: or constructs?
Hida Sashimi: It's a robot. Or some form of kikai
Kazuki: Wait wait wait
Hida Sashimi: Smarts [1d6 = 5]
Kazuki: And that sword has no problem eating Oni
Kazuki: Since it ate that previous Oni a while back when I got cut
Hida Sashimi: The black liquid is probably oil or lubricant of some type
Kazuki: Byakko! Explain this!
Sensei: Yes, we found the perfect enemy for MacVellian.
Masakari (Kuutai): *Sigh* the one time I try to be cool....It turns out to be a robot enemy....
TADM: Evidently Hida is channeling her right now...
TADM: I know, deliciously ironic, isn't it?
Byakko: Umm...err...I have no explanation...
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Notice {+2 Trapsense, +2 Alertness} [1d6+4 = 14]
Kazuki: Oh. Ok
Kazuki: Fighting {+1 Sig Moves} [1d10+1 = 8]
Nick (Hida Sashimi): I think it would be ironic if everyone was made of iron
Kazuki: Kusari-gama damage [2d6 = 8]
Kazuki: [1d6 = 1]
Sensei: Which is a hit with a raise, since Borudaa has a parry of 4.
Unfortunately, the kusari-gama bounces off Borudaa's chest with the same hollow gong sound.
Borudaa: Spirit (-2+2) [1d6 = 5]
Borudaa is unshaken, but does not get an action.
Byakko holds action to run if Kuutai even moves in his direction.
Round 5
Dealing cards...
'Tricked (-2 Parry)' on Borudaa expired
Kazuki
Kazemi (Kazuki): Ya'know, that's probably a good idea...
Kazuki holds his action to run if Kuutai turns to swing at him
Masakari (Kuutai): What cruel fate...to have trifled in powers way beyond the ken of mortals, only to be spoonfed the wrong type of opponent....
Kazuki is also ready to get the Oni again if he flinches wrong
Kuutai
Sensei: Spirit check
Kuutai: Spirit [1d6 = 5]
Sensei: Okay, you can act normally this round
Widowmaker: I DEMAND SOULS!
Kuutai: Notice [1d10 = 12]
Kuutai: Fighting (Called Shot - Head -4) [1d4-4 = -1]
Masakari (Kuutai): is that still a hit with gang up and size?
Sensei: Not if you are going for the head.
Widowmaker: What kind of limp-wristed, weak-kneed, kind of swing was that. I've been held by four year olds with more conviction than that.
Kuutai is using a benny
Widowmaker makes slurping noises.
Widowmaker: Your soul looks delicious.
Kuutai: Fighting (Called Shot - Head -4) [Critical failure!] [1d4-4 = -3]
Masakari (Kuutai): dfsdfsadfkasdf
Masakari (Kuutai): Someone Nom Me!
Sensei: Oh come on, a Crit Fail with the Widowmaker is guaranteed hilarity.
Kazuki: NOM
Kazuki: NOM
Kazuki: NOM
Kazuki: NOM
Kazuki: wait
Kazuki: wait
Kazuki: I'm not adjacent to you
Kazuki: nevermind
Nick (Hida Sashimi): It's so funny, it knocked him dead
Masakari (Kuutai): No noms? awww
Masakari (Kuutai): Ok. Hilarity Engaged. I select the crit fail.
Kazuki: Nom
Kuutai: Fighting [1d6 = 3]
Sensei: Wow, that would be 6 rolls below a 4...
Widowmaker clangs off Borudaa's skin.
Hida Sashimi
Hida Sashimi goes to have a little chat with Byakko
Kazuki: Agility Trick! {+2 Acrobat, +1 Pool Effect, +2 Shadow Arts} [1d6+5 = 9]
Kazuki leaves hold
Borudaa: Agility [1d8 = 11]
Borudaa rolls to one side and springs to his feet. He grabs his arm and heads for the door.
Borudaa leaves his large konobo behind, preferring to grab his arm.
Kazuki: Hey, where are you going!
Hida Sashimi: What have you been doing, Byakko?
Hida Sashimi: Persuasion {+1 Etiquette} [1d8+1 = 8]
Byakko: Umm...hiding back here and hoping the psychotic soul eating sword doesn't come my direction? How about you?
Byakko continues to Hold in case he needs to flee.
Round 6
Dealing cards...
Borudaa: D6 [1d6 = 2]
Borudaa runs to there, leaking black liquid from the hole in his foot and the shattered arm.
Kazuki
Kazuki: Uh, Borudaa, are you going to be OK without an arm and a foot? You're losing a lot of oil
Kazuki follows him
Kuutai
Sensei: Spirit check
Kuutai: Spirit [1d6 = 3]
Masakari (Kuutai): and so....
Sensei: Nom anyone?
Sensei: Okay, odds is Kazuki, evens is Hida. Roll for it.
Kuutai: [1d20 = 20]
Sensei: Roll to hit Hida.
Kuutai: Fighting [1d6 = 7]
Sensei: That is a hit, roll damage.
Masakari (Kuutai): (of course, theres the > 4)
Kuutai: [2d6 = 2]
Masakari (Kuutai): SNAKE EYES
Sensei: Okay, Hida needs to make a Spirit check
Kazemi (Kazuki): and there's the crit fail
Byakko takes this opportunity to dive out the window before it gets worse.
Hida Sashimi: Spirit [1d8 = 7]
Kazuki glances back. He looks a bit worried that Kuutai is attacking Hida, but Hida "has a high enough Vigor"
Nick (Hida Sashimi): And with that, I think I'll head to bed.
For a second, Hida feels the cold grasp of the grave tugging at his very existence, but he manages to shrug it off.
Hida Sashimi
Masakari (Kuutai): the good thing about my inability to roll...is my inability to roll
Hida Sashimi attempts to follow out the window, but instead finds a door to pursue Byakko
Round 7
Dealing cards...
Kazuki
Masakari (Kuutai): brb rq
Kazuki: Hey, Borudaa, we can follow your oil trail if you run, so can you just wait here for a bit?
Kazuki: Persuasion [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Borudaa keeps running.
Borudaa: D6 [1d6 = 3]
Kazuki: See you later Borudaa-san!
Sensei: Okay, so Borudaa runs off...now we just have one other problem.
Sensei: Kuutai make a Spirit check.
Kazuki: Fighting Disarm (+1) [1d10+1d6+1 = 10]
Kazuki: [1d6 = 3]
Kuutai: ok
Kuutai: Spirit [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Sensei: That is a fail.
Fortunately, just before Kuutai impales himself, Kazuki's kusari-gama smashes into his hand and the Widowmaker drops to the ground.
Masakari (Kuutai): Lol.....
Kazuki: Oh, this is useful
Masakari (Kuutai): I feel quite spurned.
Masakari (Kuutai): Shoulda just disenchanted the fucker.
Kazuki: So you summon that, you miss a bunch of times, you hit once, you lose control, I disarm you, you resummon that...
Masakari (Kuutai): And the one time....
Widowmaker: Next time we meet, it will be your soul that I come for...om-nom-myouji.
Masakari (Kuutai): ZING
Masakari (Kuutai): GM has been awarded a benny
Sensei: Yay!
Kazemi (Kazuki): that was good
Widowmaker dissipates into smoke.
Okay, so the sound of Borudaa's footsteps vanishes into the jungle. The villagers are nowhere to be seen. Most of the village outside the meeting hall has burned to the ground.
Kazuki: So, do we want to chase after Borudaa?
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Notice {+2 Trapsense, +2 Alertness} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+4 = 21]
Byakko pokes his head up above the side of a well to see if the Widowmaker is gone.
Byakko: So...that went worse than most feasts this village has had.
Kuutai: most? lol.
Kazuki: Went better than most feasts I've attended
Byakko: Hmm...I didn't think he had gone so far as to create more metal men. That is bad, unlike the snow oni, the metal men can obviously attack the village through its protections.
Byakko looks worried.
Kazuki: Wait....
Kuutai: he?
Byakko: He...Borudaa the Oni-Kaji.
Kazuki: How many metal men does he have?
Byakko: I have no idea, at least 1 partially functional one.
Kazuki: AND WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?!
Byakko: Tell you what?
Kazuki: that he has metal men. The way you said that first line makes it seem like you knew
Byakko: Oh, well, I knew he was trying to make them, hence my concern about the village.
Byakko looks sheepish.
Kazuki: Ugh
Byakko: Well and I stole the power source from the first one he tried to build...
Kazuki: Well, Kuutai didn't eat anyone's soul
Kazuki: so that's a plus
Kazuki: WHOUIBNV
Kazuki: Let me ask you this: Is Yukiko a robot?
Yukiko (yells from her hidden location): Absolutely not! But if I have to marry you I might as well be
Kazuki: At least you can marry! It's a good thing we can stop giant robot Oni-Kaji!
Kuutai: ugh
Kazuki: You OK?
Byakko: So, um...the metal man will report back to the real Borudaa, and I think bad things will happen.
Kuutai: Bloody Robots
Byakko: You really need to get focused on the whole, "killing the oni-kaji" plan.
Kuutai appears mad.
Kuutai: Oh, I will kill that.........dingleberry
Kuutai: What sort of self respecting Oni
Kazuki: You know where his castle is, correct?
Kuutai: Resorts to metal rather than summoning some horror from the pits of Jigoku?
Byakko: Absolutely!
Byakko: It's uh...
Yukiko walks out from her hiding spot and puts her arm on Byakko's shoulder.
Yukiko: Go find mom.
Yukiko: I'll talk to them.
Byakko frowns.
Byakko: But...
Yukiko: I'll be fine.
Yukiko: Go on.
Byakko looks at Kazuki.
Kazuki shrugs
Byakko: If you so much as lay a hand on her, I will make you eat your testicles.
Byakko walks off.
Kazuki: That's the third worst threat I've had someone give me
Yukiko watches Byakko leave.
Kazuki: Somehow, I think that you're the real leader of this village.
Kazuki glances at Yukiko
Yukiko: No, Byakko is. But he has been hiding and obfuscating too long to tell the truth.
Kazuki nods
Yukiko: When you have been a white ninja of the Bright Empire for 900 years, you lose the ability to be honest.
Yukiko shrugs.
Kazuki: ovuba'lv
Kazuki: WHAT!
Masakari (Kuutai): lol 900 years. chosen purely by coincidence, eh?
TADM: Hmm...maybe.
Masakari (Kuutai): is convinced Byakko is a muppet.
Kuutai is convinced Byakko is a muppet.
Byakko does not have green skin or floppy ears.
Byakko does not need to use a lightsaber to kill opponents.
Yukiko walks into the meeting hall and offers a prayer to the fallen.
Yukiko: My you walk again in the bright rooms of the Celestial Palace, old friends.
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Kn(Lore & Legends) {+1 Defining Interest} [1d6+1 = 5]
Kuutai: Smarts [1d10 = 6]
Yukiko covers the fallen and whispers something to them.
Yukiko walks back outside.
Kuutai: Where did you learn that prayer, Yukiko?
Yukiko: It seems like the right thing to say.
Yukiko: Byakko is not very religious these years.
Yukiko: Or even that I can ever remember, something about the Celestials abandoning the world.
Yukiko looks at Kazuki and Kuutai.
Kazuki: Ah, yeah, that's what we're trying to fix
Yukiko: Borudaa is an Oni-Kaji known as a Cold-Smith. To bypass the regenerative powers of his Celestial body, you will need fat made from the grease of a fire salamander.
Kuutai: Meh, Dont take it so hard, young one. Even the Oni are outsourcing these days. Cheap Metal import Monsters.....no class at all.
Yukiko looks at Kuutai.
Yukiko: That is his great sin, to try and create life, and for it the Celestials banished him here.
Yukiko: Fortunately, you are on Burnt Mountain, and might still be able to find one...and...
Yukiko looks upset.
Yukiko: Kill it.
Kuutai: I see. Well sure, let's see if we can't get that....I'm sure its somewhat local? Though I'da sworn that Widdowmaker could have done the job....
Yukiko shrugs.
Yukiko: It probably could, but I am certain that if you attempt to again summon it, it will respond by materializing in your chest.
Yukiko: Which I believe would be rather unfortunate.
Kuutai: Well see.
Kuutai: (blasted machines...)
Yukiko: I can draw you a map to where some Fire Salamanders used to live. Perhaps you will find a dead one that you can reuse.
Kuutai: that would be most useful - thanks!
Yukiko states this in such a way that you are certain that you need to tell her that is what happened, even if you had to kill it.
Yukiko walks into the house and comes back with a piece of paper and a pen.
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Kn(Lore & Legends) {+1 Defining Interest} [1d4+1 = 8]
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Smarts {-2 Pool Effect} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-2 = 1]
Yukiko speed draws an almost three dimensional rendering of this section of Burnt Mountain, complete with suspected locations of frost oni encampments, possible fire salamander lairs, and Borudaa's estate. It takes her about three minutes.
Kuutai: well done!
Kuutai: Smarts [1d10 = 6]
Kazuki: That's quite a skill you have there
Masakari (Kuutai): oh geesh
Yukiko: Thank you.
Yukiko hands the map to Kazuki.
Kazuki: Thanks
Kazuki: How long has Borudaa been on this mountain?
Kazuki examines the map
Kazuki: A couple decades, I take it?
Yukiko: If Byakko is correct, shortly after the Crimson Coronation.
TADM: That would be 20 years, I had to look it up.
Masakari (Kuutai): hrm....
Kazemi (Kazuki): Oh, so she's actually close to her apparent age!
Kazemi (Kazuki): I was figuring she would be 900+ as wel
Kazuki: Oh, well that's good
TADM: The thing that is hilarious is, I am not sure if Kazuki knows who Otsu is.
TADM: Awesome!
TADM: Best whisper ever.
[TOWER] Kazuki -> Kn(Lore & Legends) {+1 Defining Interest} [1d4+1 = 12]
Masakari (Kuutai): nice
Sensei: Okay, so a few minutes of questions and then we can call it a night.
Masakari (Kuutai): (the thing was a construct.......god dammit lol the one combat that was mine....)
TADM: I know, the beautiful, hideous irony of your awesome plan being completely foiled by a pre-scripted encounter with a robot.
TADM: I am pretty sure Nick is laughing in his sleep right now.
Masakari (Kuutai): I am thwarted again, Sir Brad. Good Job!
Kazemi (Kazuki): And that crit-fail was perfectly timed
Masakari (Kuutai): Well at least we know.....what we need to do.
Right, so next week, you go in search of Fire Salamanders, Frost Oni, and hopefully the real Borudaa.
