"Less than fully honorable" might have been the opinion of the local ambassador regarding Osamu, but the embassy had been mostly abandoned. This was not considered a major outpost.

I passed, so now it's TN25.

Go for it Senshu! Void for that 6k5 on TN25

With reroll too! The reversal of fortunes is still active

Oof. Those are not great rolls.

Right now, I think finishing at 15 time slots is a longshot. Our TN to pass the final gate roll is 55 if I read it correctly. We need at least one more puzzle solved i think.

I think we need your help on the incantation puzzle. It would be a TN 25 calligraphy or spellcraft check using intelligence. After that we have our opening to try for the door

Things finally seemed to be moving. Cyphers were hidden info. That was something to dig up right? Osamu might not have been a shugenja but there was a certain logic to how the incantation was constructed and he is able to highlight a few sections. _____ Incantation puzzle-Calligraphy/Intelligence - ...

*nods* I considered going for the gate, but that is low odds ATM. I'm going to try for two raise

Current gate tn is 120-75=45 We have 6 time units left Left to complete: Incantation puzzle (can lower by 20) Fighting puzzle (can lower by 15) Can we even do the Incantation puzzle? Does anyone have the skills to do this or would we be better off cheering someone to go for the final gate? Yeah if ...

Osamu works on thw crank puzzle. Something clicks... literally. The gears start to move to his triumphant expression.

I'm not 100% focused right now so, please, confirm. Senshu and Osamu are the ones that haven't yet played for the 3rd round. I haven't used my void point. If that's the case, I'd suggest that we go for the crank puzzle. My roll will be 5k4 with void and I can also reroll for this round, as well. I ...

Go ahead if someone wants to correct. I am putting my child down soon.. please reroll or move on as you feel best

Can someone roll for me so that I don't delay you? I won't be able to post for 12 hours at least.

Agility 4, crafty advantage for forgery, void point if necessary. Thank you in advance!

I've got you

IC Osamu might be pissy, but OOC we needed to get it done

I'll take on some of the crank puzzle once Kiyoshi and Senshuken make their moves. I need to wait until they take their turns.

I like the reversal of fortunes, void plan

Time slot 5

I just noticed that for the 5th puzzle the 40 TN isn't cumulative. Each roll reduces the TN by 5 which means that it will take more time and people. Well there is no limit on the times a character can try the puzzle, only that you can only do it once a round. I have ok odds to finish the portrait p...

There's no reason to do every puzzle, as we can only reduce the final TN to 25.

And, we only have 18 Time Units. So, 18 actions.

In that case, we would should take off one event that we think we are the worst at.

On the fighting, I have a rank in kenjutsu at least so I think the assist should probably go to someone else so we don't need to get a phantom rank for explosions.

I am not great at investigation, but I at least have ranks in it so it's 5k2. do people have better?
