Two questions about faction perks/resources.

1. Can non-members of a given clan make use of a clan embassy's special location perks, if they're invited by a clan member? E.g. if I wanted to help someone else who needs to make a Commerce or Lore: Underworld check, could I let them hang out with me in the Mantis embassy for a time slot and draw on Mantis resources for that next-day Free Raise?

2. Writs of travel in the clan resource pool--what do they signify exactly? I assumed that these were permission to travel to the world in question and hang out over there, without any change in status if given to a ronin--you're still clan-less, but in a different (hopefully nicer/less stabby) place. On the other hand, I see some Clan characters mentioning Clan fealty along with travel writs. Is the offer of getting to join a Clan implied in the writs of travel, or is it a separate goodie that some clans have available and others don't?

( I also have a low-priority lore question in my PF, one that I didn't think anyone besides me would need answered.)
1) Yes, but your ambassador might want to have a word with you if you e.g. invite a Lion over.

2) Ambassadors, while being influential, don't strictly own land (if they did, they'd be looking after it) and thus have no resources to pay for samurai serving them. You guys are assigned here, but your koku comes from your lord, who gets it from his/her fief. The writ of travel allows the ronin to travel to swear fealty in person to a lord with holdings and lands that can support followers - so they are 'become one of us IF that is is your end game goal' cards.

Can you theoretically perform a tea ceremony several times a day? I have not found through the search function or the rules document (RAW&Banner) that says something different, but i had it in mind that you could only do it once a day.

Searching the forum yields the relevant answer(s). Or in this case lack of them. There are limitations to when it can happen (and how), but not how often.

Not sure if this should be posted here or PMed to someone, so apologies if I miss-posted. I need to know, what my tune knows about the underworld of WoD with that roll.

Is it possible to begin preparations for another heist roll during the same session (once one is complete) or should we wait for the next session to begin?

For the event here ( https://shadows.fallenash.com/viewtopic ... 5579#p5579 ), is it permissible to sneak into the alley?

Do minor clan embassies have medicine kits to be used/borrowed, or would we need to buy one?

Buy one. They don't really expect you to run into walls or get shot.

Thanks! In core, Medicine Pack is from 1 bu and upwards, can we assume same cost is on WoD, and this stuff can be bought legally, in an apothecary/pharmacy equivalent?

The event schedule says LA for the oshidama tournament, but the event is created as LE - just checking if the timeslot is correct?

Edit: the above has been corrected - however I had a thread that was put into EN because of the event being originally in LE. Is it ok if Senshuken and I move the threads timeslot to LE?
