In other news, today I will level for my first time since the end of the White Orchid. Since my goal will not be reached I'm considering spending points in something other than spellcraft. Maybe even going Ronin. Any suggestions?
Edited for clarification.

All depends on what you see for the future of your character, and/or how much you care to switch outfits while you travel. Since I do most of my point spending via phone, it was a pain to keep switching outfits a few times just to roam around. Shadowlands 50, Hunting 50, Meditation 50...

If the Lady Domotai does suffer an untimely death, there would be no follow-up investigation. The roll for the investigation would be considered the investigation. Arorou, who holds the highest rolls on both tables thus far, would have covered up his tracks, leaving no evidence that there was an assassin. I'm sorry, but i'm afraid that is not up to you to decide, Sama. May the wisdom of Togashi help me to have a second chance on this investigation, and protect Doji Domotai Sama against cruel and coward assassination. Also, he ultimate ideia of Bushido is the virtue of Courage (Yuu), that also represents the faith that the virtue of One can change the destiny of many. If this idea fades away, there is no more reason to live the Bushido. (*bows*) Kitsuki Zatoichi, blind Justicar and aspirant to Dragon Ambassador to Crane Lands.

The idea of a last ditch roll only makes sense with multi-skill contests:
example: Stealth+Kyujustu to kill with a ranged weapon vs Investigation + iaijutsu to deflect the projectile ( example given thinking about a text description of an assassination attempt involving a poisoned dart)
and then: Stealth + Hunting vs Ivestigation + Hunting to track the killer...
Using the same skill over and over doesn't make for an interesting story IMO.

I like the idea of multi skill challenges.

Togashi won't be helping you. You're on your own for this one.

I like the idea of a multi-skill challenge, too. And let us not forget Investigation + Spellcraft for deflection as well; there's more than one way to stop a projectile.

I wish there was a job to impede the investigation. Or maybe there is. I dunno. I haven't been there. Been busy firebombing the Lion.

...Well, I figured this would happen. A competition that gives the impression that it's going to end quickly stays up for weeks and someone saves up and comes in to the lead after the people trying to get in at the percieved "end".

Aroru, although I do understand you, I think we should look at the situation from a perspective that represents both sides as a whole. If you guys had truly wished to succeed, considering that Kotaro already had scored 738 and the competition was "one click only", you should have hidden your cards better and waited to reveal your participation in the assassination attempt, preferably after someone surpassed him. By revealing your advantage earlier in the game, you actually gave an advantage to those who wished to protect Doji Domotai. I think that's a lesson all Scorpion shinobi should learn early in their service to the Clan ("do not reveal your blade until you can strike down your enemy with certainty") That said, the competition is not over yet and things may change again if given enough time (now I'm the one rooting for it to end quickly). As someone once said "its not over until it ends" PS.: To those still wondering who the heck was the dastardly rascal that just altered the competition, the blame lies with me ;D

The problem is, we were told the competition would end quickly, which in theory doesn't leave much of a window to participate. I'm sure Aroru was worried about waiting too long and missing his opportunity.
The lesson learned here is, there's no such thing as a fast competition.

...Actually, I already did that. The competition was put up as part of the Iris Festival, which said it was only up for a few days. I waited until Friday to compete. My frustration is more in the misinformation that led to my early clicking. As it stands, I'd be beating that investigation score if I were able to compete again and I would not have competed yet if I hadn't been given the impression the competition was only up for a short amount of time.
