Premise

Much has happened in the Empire since the Imperial Explorers were founded over a year ago. The Corps has evolved with it, swelling in numbers in preparation for the First Voyage, and its various members have quietly assumed positions transcending their former fame acquired as students, who now desire to be famed for their more recent accomplishments. There is also young blood that aspires to be known and recognised as worthy to advance in the Corps and determine its future goals. As they all gather in Dragon's Guard City, now is their time to show the world what they are made of, and make a name for themselves.

---

Mechanics

  • Over the three days of Pregame, you can make one Skill Roll a day in any slot in any location. It can be done off-screen, then both the timeslot and the location need to be posted in this thread, though you are encouraged to incorporate your effort into the role-playing experience. If you are not entirely sure how it could work in the environment that is Dragon's Guard City, do ask GMs for feedback!
  • It can be any Skill Roll as long as you can provide a good explanation what you are going to do by using it. Please denote all your special mechanics (Advantages, Disadvantages, Techniques, etc.) affecting that particular roll in the appropriate box in Orokos. Please carefully denote all the Free and Called Raises applied to the roll.
  • The TN of every such roll is 20.
  • You add your Glory Rank to the total of every such roll.
  • You can choose the same Skill more than once, but you have to call an additional Raise each time you do so over what you've rolled last. So first roll of the same Skill is without this penalty, second requires 1 Called Raise for no other effect if the Skill stays the same, third requires 2 such Called Raises. You don't suffer those penalties if you roll three different Skills.
  • For simplicity, we assume that materials needed to perform the feat behind the Skill Roll are provided, within reason.
  • For the purpose of mechanics that have the Session timeframe, whole Pregame counts as one Session.
  • The final score will be determined by the sum of your successful rolls (1 point for a basic success) and all your effective Raises from all three rolls minus your Glory Rank. Those more famous need to try harder to keep or alter their reputation as their moves are more carefully watched and more is expected of them. New to the Explorers have it easier to amaze.
  • The basic roll or with just Free Raises fails without penalties. Rolls with Called Raises that fail generate a negative score of the amount of those Called Raises. E.g. if you have Glory Rank 2 and rolled 32 with 3 Called Raises and no Free Raises, you've failed with a -3 Score for that particular Roll.
  • Great Destiny and Dark Fate can be used to add 1 Free Raise to any of these rolls. This counts as their use for the Session.
  • For every increment of 10 by which you exceed the final TN of your Roll you get a Free Raise on your next Roll. If it occurs on the last Roll, you just add +1 per each such increment to the final score.
  • You can discontinue the event at any point but the incomplete score still counts as final.
  • This and probably only this time in Rokugan, roll-enhancing magic is allowed without social repercussions as long as it is not spammed onto other players. It is assumed that spellcasting happens out of public eye or is sufficiently excused.

---

Reward

You'll be acquiring a reputation! This is a fluff tag to go into your signature derived from the skills you've used for this event with liberal application of GM creativity, in collaboration with you. Consider it a way to define the identity and role of your character a bit more. You can fit your current preferred reputation into the framework with some effort in Skill selection. It can be anything from Smooth Operator to Fearless Spelunker to Scourge of Octopi to Voice of the Wilds, and by this you'll be known. Be mindful that 'Dark' features (Not just Dark Fate, but also Consumed etc.) and Low Skills used for the Rolls can colour the reputation toward notorious.

However, the tricky part is that it comes with a preceding word depending on your final score. Those below are examples, their linguistic equivalents are fine if you have a better idea.

  • -3 and less - Hopeless...!
  • -2 to 0 - Mediocre...!
  • 1 to 3 - Promising...!
  • 4 to 6 - Remarkable...!
  • 7 to 9 - Amazing...!
  • 10 to 12 - Exceptional...!
  • 13 and more - Great...!

What you gain in real terms?

  • Twice the number of Veritable Influence Points (VIP) of your final score. It is ignored if it is negative.
  • The number of Glory Points equal to your final score. It turns to Infamy if it's negative. It also turns to Infamy if the reputation is acquired by non-negligible use of Low Skills and/or 'Dark' features mentioned above.
  • For every full 5 points of your final score, you acquire a Duty Point.
  • ...and a fanciful reputation among the Explorers, plus whatever future role-playing opportunities may come with it!

The redhead sat in her personal room in front of a small brazier. Her mask was placed beside her, in more ways than one. She had a faint smile on her face as she lit the incense. "I seek your boundless clarity to increase my own insight for the coming hour."

One of the kami made its presence known to her very soon. It flared the offering to signify its presence and then began to speak at an rapid pace. "This is the two-thousand, eight-hundred, thirty-third time you have used incense in summoning me."

"Karushiferu," she stated, "It is a great honor to speak with you once again."

"Yes, yes. I am sure that I do not need to remind you how many times you have spoken that phrase."

She suppressed her annoyance. A random fact such as that was not something she retained. Instead, she was more concerned of losing the kami's attention. "I gave forth this offering because there will be no physical destruction in the coming hour. Instead, we will burn away the ignorance plaguing this city."

"Very well, but only because I will it." The priestess gave a nod of affirmation and reached over to the mask. Karushiferu's blessing imbued the item with the clarity that the woman had been seeking. And with the prayer done, she replaced it upon her face and stepped outside to spread her knowledge to those who would listen.

It's a funny thing, when life develops a rhythm, when it begins to flow. Even as the first great adventure draws near, Tori still spends much of her days teaching her students. A good life, and she prepares them well, but some of them are nearly ready to move on, to a larger world.

A task one trained by the Doji is well equipped to help them with, through the connections to help them find a tomorrow where they can help build the Empire of tomorrow.

((Lore: Nature, VP, 4R+FR for Great Destiny, +5 Glory, TN40: 10d10o10k6+5 53. Pass. 6 points, 1 free raise on next roll.

Lore: Nature, VP, 4R+FR for no effect from prior roll, +5 Glory, TN40: 10d10o10k6+5 51. Pass. 5 points, 1 free raise on next roll.

Courtier(Manipulation), VP, 1R+Doji FR+FR from prior roll, +5 Glory, TN25: 6d10o10k4+5 26. Pass. Barely. 4 points.

Day -3:
In the temple to Benten, a poem is placed among the offerings, its paper unfolded so that all visitors may see it. It is signed 空蝉 (utsusemi - Cicada Shell).

"wata no hara
oki tsu nami ni
tatsu nami no
yoriko ya kakaru
migiwa naritomo"

(Across the broad sea sweep,
The waves from the offing,
The breakers:
So I would have you come to me,
Though I be such a shore…)

----

Day -2:

The next day, a poem by the same author is offered as a gift to the temple of Hotei.

"izukata e
omoiyaramashi
aki no yo no
sora ni mo amaru
tsuki no hikari o"

In which direction
Should head my longing?
On an autumn night
The skies are full of
The moon’s light…


----

Day -1:

The author of the poems have left another offering, this time by the shrine to Suitengu. However, this time it is not a poem, but a painting. Its paint catches the eye; not only are the colours vibrant, but the scales of the fish in the painting seem to shimmer when the light reflects on them, making them seem more alive.

Kitsu Keiji spent the days before the expedition diligently training at swordplay, sailing and mapmaking, skills he expected to be important for a naval officer on the Imperial expedition.

While training at the dojo, he had the good fortune to meet Agasha Utsumemi, a Dragon woman of some importance who had also assigned to the expedition. Perhaps their paths would cross again someday?

It had begun with a few artfully distributed rumours. No one would ever trace them back to him. They could suspect, but no one would ever know he had been the first to voice them. After all he was a Courtier of the Lion. A clan so anchored in honour that no one would accuse them of such lowly gossip. They would be the ones that were unaware of which clan he had married in from. The rumours themselves though . . . ! Such deeds they suggested. The Phoenix and his stable boy? One would have thought the Asako had more propriety.

The next stage had been to speak on the Asako's behalf. Kind words of defence and support. Oh, a man of Asako-san's standing could never be capable of what the rumours suggested. How could anyone even think that? Lies and slander for sure.

Now established as a 'friend' of the Asako, it was easy to arrange an evening meeting with him. A bottle of sake shared. Conversation made. Even some shared music with Yuki's samisen at hand. Then a walk through the gardens to a secluded location where Yuki had made sure to have a servant posted with more sake. More quiet words and then the servant beckoned forward. Clumsily, as this particular servant was more used to handling horses than drinks. Yes . . . the very same boy from the rumours. More suggestions and a few too many cups of sake later, Yuki made his excuses and left. Shortly afterwards the rumours were no longer rumours but fact.

Perhaps the Asako should not have been so vocal in his condemnation of the Right Hand the Winter before?

Day -2 = Etiquette/Awareness, 2 CR, BB, VP = TN 30 = 58 . . . 3 points, 2 FR carried forward
Day -1 = Temptation/Awareness, 2 CR, 2 FR, BB, DB, VP = TN 30 = 45 . . . 5 points, +1 point for overroll

Totals = 4 + 3 + 6 - 2 = 11

Yuki is Exceptional.

The Tortoise privateer opted to choose conservatively on his skills, opting to go for those that would fit a Tortoise during the first two days and concluding with his trademark finesse in the last day.

The first day he was seen haggling with some merchants, cornering mercilessly to accept his inflated prices and managing to make quite a bit of profit through it.

The second day he took the vessel he had been given and displayed his skill and aptitude with seafaring.

The last one he performed a surprising display of diestreza, showing why there had been increasing rumours of his skill among the Tortoise, when he humiliated a braggart Lion that called him "halfblooded mongrel" by cutting his obi and undergarments with a few strikes.


Day -3: Commerce vs TN 30: 43 - 1 FR gained, 4 points
Day -2: Sailing vs TN 30: 45 - 1 FR gained, 3 points
Day -1: Swords vs TN 30 36 - 2 points

TOTAL POINTS: 4+3+2-2 = 7
+14 VIP
+0.7 Glory

Ringo goes about the next few days in a way that may seem very atypical for a Crab. He leads an inspiring song to boost courage and morale in battle. The next day is filled with quiet paperwork. A necessary task that Ringo actually enjoys. Finally he gets to work in the engineering field. He does some work towards repairing and doing maintenance on the ships.


D-3. Perform - Song = 28. +1 Point
D-2 Etiquette = 29. +1 Point
D-1 Engineering. 1 CR = 38. +3 Points

Total: 1+1+3-2= 3 Points = Promising
+6 VP
+0.3 Glory

Koharu, being primarily a painter and tasked with cataloguing foreign flora and fauna, focused her efforts within the city on just that. While there weren't many gaijin things, there were some. She concentrated on painting wildlife that had been brought back from foreign lands. A trip to the zoo, visiting the gardens of the Imperial Naval College and a day listening to fanciful tales of amazing foreign sights were all useful. With them she could build up an impressive portfolio. Taking little notice of those around her when she entered her artistic zone, the final images she produced were each incredibly vivid and detailed. On the back of each she made sure to include some notes and details. Alongside these, when she had each canvas securely stored, she added a scroll of comments and observations that she hoped would be beneficial to whoever read them.
