6/13/2012: Courage of the Seven Thunders

[Jay Luo]

As the battle at Forgotten Fortress rages on, the terrifying oni lord scatters countless samurai before him. Only a very few are courageous enough to face him. Will it be enough?



(Added two more actions as tiebreakers. They are both contests for skills that haven't been used that much before, yet seem fitting for the setting. Good luck!)

[Akodo Keisuke]

Great way to make this a nail chewer Jay,









Any chance you need one of those at at the Drowned Merchant River; maybe an competition with battle skill.

Does this thread break the forum formatting for anyone else?

I think I'm going to try to rock the courage chart...

...It did, but it appears to be fixed now.

[Shoju]

Thanks for the fun all. It's been something special at times.

Homsar and Thrakhath, sitting on a wall...
I see this as some sort of face-making contest.

[Shosuro Honzo]

Interesting, the scores for Courage/Intimidation are EXACTLY the same...hell of a climactic battle

[The Blue Ronin]

It is climatic, but... am I missing something? What are the stakes here? The loss of Fortress of the Forgotten? No offense to my Crab friends but it seems like it's kind of low stakes for the climax of a long storyline...

[Shoju]

Blue Ronin:

It is clear that if the maho-tsukai complete their ritual, the men of Rokugan are doomed. A small band of heroes has vowed to stop them.

And there are actions calling people thunders.

So even though it might be going down at a non descript location, Jay is trying to make this out to be a pretty serious conflict. 2 Oni Lords, And a band of Maho Tsukai trying to ruin the world. We just happened to pick FF because the Wall broke there.

The staring contest to end all staring contests.

Edit: Oh lol, never mind. Some Hiruma dumped all the points he was saving into Courage.

[Togashi Homsar]

Unless my dice completely suck or he dumps some more points, my next click should beat the Crabby-Crab... I'm just debating whether to go all-in. I probably will after my next click. And I'll probably level up today.

Sweet. I shoulda gone with my original plan to dump everything in Intimidation, but silly me thought other skills were more relevant.

[Togashi Homsar]

Yeah, I was not expecting these two skills to be used for something like this.

Thanks, Jay, for keeping things interesting!

[Isawa Okibi]

I guess there just aren't that many active spiders anymore. Maybe I'll help out and knock Jay off the Intimidation action.
