The weather on the island is repetitively predictable: sunny, warm toward hot and quite humid throughout the day, with breezes and winds coming down from Mount Kappa regulating it in favour of bearability. Bearability is less guaranteed inland, especially in the jungles. Usually there is a light drizzle around midday, but unless there is a storm clouds almost never cover most of the skies.

The moon is gibbous.

The mists are heavier than usual; during the nights they encroach into both ports. Most people haven't slept well lately (The Stamina Roll TN to sleep less than two slots has TN20)

There are reports of big spider attacks in the north. One patrolling Teppodoka was found dead last night, wrapped in spider's web.

There is a masquerade ball at La Finca tomorrow. Societe bustles with preparations.

Tension!

+2.4 (Tentative Cordiality).

The denizens of Kameyama Jima have mostly dropped their wariness toward the Explorers and their presence grows on them. As both sides adapt to each other, co-existence is more peaceful and fruitful. People in both ports pick up Rokugani words and customs, repaying cultural sensitivity with the same coin. All Social and Commerce rolls targeting the inhabitants of the island have TNs lowered by 2. All prices are as printed though discounts happen and haggling is still expected.

Servant with a foreign background costs 2 xp less. As long as you're fine with a cosmopolitan team, for every 8 Duty Points spent on Crew features while recruiting or exchanging your crew 1 Duty Point is returned.

However, at the end of the session every Explorer who has rolled to ease the Tension! further loses the amount of Honour Points equal to the summed up scores of his rolls, plus 0.2 for every full positive rank in Tension! score at the end of the session. Those who possess Gaijin Virtue or Enlightened Advantages do not suffer those Honour losses. Those who are Consumed and Failures of Bushido lose additional 0.2. If anyone has both, Disadvantage takes precedence. This reflects a creeping decomposition of Rokugani morals under gaijin influence.

Events:

There is no global event for D9. The Explorers are supposed to return to exploring the Northern Waters or focus on retrieving the parts of Hawthorne's map Jama doesn't have. Any meaningful discovery brought to Jama's attention (location, item, map, pertinent information - GM's Call) will be rewarded by 20 VIP per discovery per meaningfully participating character (GM's Call).

There are is a pocket combat event against spiders that can be triggered by a group of combatants patrolling the Misty Road.

Personal plots will be developed and can morph into mini-events with their own rewards. One such, related to the jinn, is planned.
