His reading... barely helped. He did find the name of some spirits listed as usual denizens of the Realm of Mischief dancing on the pages. Orochi. Mujina. Pekkles. Saru. Kappa. Bakeneko. What was each one? What were they like?
He might know some of them from before, maybe. But finding anything else now seemed too hard with the words dancing around.
Going outside, now properly dressed for the rain, he managed to follow the trail for a while, eventually going from the Diplomatic District to the Mercantile District. The trail went on and on, but at a point where it split into two and was less conspicuous among the busy streets, Kiyoshi lost it for a moment, unsure where to go.
What happens when Kiyoshi loses the trail?
1-3 = something gone; 4-6 = something comes | 1d6 ⇒ 4
Could he get rid of that confusion? If this was just alcohol, probably...
As he stops to think about what to do next, right after casting the spell, something hard comes from above and hits his head hard!
(
Ouch! What's that? | 1k1 ⇒ 8 (TN: ?) => Kiyoshi suffers 8 damage!)
A stone? Had someone thrown it from one of the buildings around?
He hears someone laughing. Actually... was that a monkey laughing??
If he turns to look for it, he finds nothing. He does find the "stone" that had hit him. Which was not a normal stone... looked like an overgrown persimmon seed, in fact.

(OOC:
...it isn't just alcohol - or at least
normal alcohol! Jurojin's balm allows you to roll another Earth roll vs TN 25, with the normal +2k0 bonus (but remember your Willpower is at -1!)
You can retry the Hunting roll at TN 25 after that, but let's see the result of that Earth roll first!)
