Premise

Once the ships have had a modicum of operationality restored after the mayhem of the storm during the early morning hours it is now clear their crews can grab boats make a landfall! The majestic Mount Kappa towers over thick jungles, and beyond a thin belt of a long beach and some wreck to the right no human settlements can be spotted. But as the two foreign vessels flanking the battered Imperial Navy indicate, there must be nearby.

However, the beaches ahead get slowly dotted with some people who look like they've come there to take benefit of whatever was cast ashore, or awash in littoral waters. On closer look they look like some poor children and elderly who have come to scavenge. It is now clear that many sailors are missing. Some of them may have survived...


Mechanics
  • This event is available to all, the Unicorn included, but voluntary. You can use your LM slot for other purposes.
  • Make a single roll from the selection below and either leave it off-screen or incorporate it into a role-playing scene somewhere along the Southern Beaches in accord with what you rolled.
  • By rolling successfully you contribute 1 S&R Point to the effort of the Explorers, plus 1 S&R for each 2 successful Raises. Failure imposes no costs. The summary score of the Explorers will determine how much has been salvaged.
  • The TN of all Rolls is 20.
  • Magic is allowed, but suffers from kami scarcity.
  • Remember about Wound Penalties.

Options:
  • #1. Spot or find someone or something. Perception/Investigation (Search or Notice). Whether you look for things or people has meaning for #8.
  • #2. Threaten a scavenger into dropping the loot. Willpower/Intimidation (Control)
  • #3. Scare off a scavenger with warning shots. Intelligence/Firearms (Any), Reflexes/Kyujutsu (Any) or Perception/Battle (Skirmish) [by commanding a group of Teppodoka]. This is not an Attack Roll.
  • #4. Mangle a scavenger. Any Attack Roll or an offensive Spell. Each success is considered a kill and escalates tension by -0.1.
  • #5. Retrieve things from the shallows. Agility/Craft: Fishing or Strength/Athletics (Swimming)
  • #6. Check the trails/Signal position. Perception/Hunting (Trailblazing/Survival). The latter option is available for survivors only.
  • #7. Call out to each other. Awareness/Perform: Oratory, Song or any available Instrument
  • #8. Aid the survivors. Intelligence/Medicine (Wound Treatment) or any healing Spell. Available only once for each success in #1, #6, #7. The Medicine Roll counts against the daily limit.

Results:

For every 3 S&R points dibs can be called by a character who ended up with 1 SOS on possessions in the Mother of All Storms. Their equipment is retrieved into '2-SOS' state. There will be a reward for the S&R total, but otherwise this event is an excuse for roleplaying.

It was not easy for Kenzo to search the area without being distracted. After all, there was a huge amount of plant life that he hadn't seen yet, and he expected that there would be animal life, too. The temptation to take a bit of time and look was a real one. But that wasn't what he was there for.

He walked along the beach, happy to be stretching his legs, even if stress had shaped his usual cheerful expression into a thoughtful frown. It seemed as though there were some collections of supplies, but after a quick check, Kenzo moved on. Other people could get those. They weren't what he was there for.

The arrival of the scavengers was a bit of a surprise. Kenzo's eyes widened at their appearance, so obviously not that of the explorers. His lips twisted, as the instinct to make contact of some sort was thwarted by remembering that they probably didn't have a language in common. Seeing them approach the piles of supplies, Kenzo's eyebrows drew down sharply. He began to lift his pistols, a wild yell on his lips, ready to scare them off, something he was confident in his ability to do. But, slowly, he put them away. That wasn't what he was there for.

Instead, he continued to check the shallows, or look for trails where people might have crawled. If this was, an inhabited island, things could be replaced. People could not. That's what he was there for.

----------------------------------------

#1 Find Someone, Per/Inv, VP spent: 4d10o10k3 20. 1 S&R point, 1 possible use of #8. Would prefer Sanjuro, would take anyone.

Some part of him would have been relieved if she was never found but while he loathed the betrothal, he did not wish harm to her.

He was also her captain and he would not skip on that duty

If the Kami are kind, you will have ran away with him

Spot or find someone or something. Perception/Investigation (Search or Notice) TN 20 (Kaiya) 1 S&R pt

Yasuhiro wasn't having much if any luck searching for anyone today. Perhaps he was too wary of the gaijin landscape, and the ugly foreigners he had seen. Whatever the case was, he didn't find any signs of anyone.

-----------------
Rolls

S&R Trying to spot someone, looking for people investigation/perception. 2 raises +2 from wounds tn 32 void for 1k1: 7d10o10k4 17

Retry: S&R Trying to spot someone, looking for people investigation/perception. 2 raises +2 from wounds tn 32 void for 1k1 retry because you can. But since I don't have the search emphasis +15: 7d10o10k4 20

SoS =0

It was all over the East Port. Ships had crash-landed the island. Some worried about the newcomers while others spoke in whispers about how to turn this to their advantage. Akaichou did neither and decided to take initiative. There was no telling where the travelers had made birth and they may need help communicating their needs to locals willing to assist.

Riding would be faster. Bishounen was saddled and ready within moments and Akaichou took off toward the shores.

The sands were littered with belongings and people. Some were obviously there to pick through the debris for themselves but there was nothing she could do about that. She settled her horse, knowing he would not be stolen or Kami have mercy on the thief; Bishounen wasn't a fan of strangers.

She turned her attention to finding those in need. It was not long before she came sighted someone drenched and broken from the storm. It was a stroke of luck she'd worn something easier to move in that her typical courtier's dress. She knelt down easily to help if she could.

#1 - Search and Notice - 21
1 S&R Point

Search and Rescue LM (Perception 3, Investigation 3, 1 VP, TN20 +20 crippled): 7d10o10k4 28 For option 1. Failed. 0 SnR

Kami helps those who help themselves. Wincing with lain as he moved about the beach, near where he and Doji-sama had washed up. Eyes looking out to sea, brfore turning inland.

The pain was distracting. He felt as if he was blinded from it. Cursing inwardly, fortune did not favor him.

The priestess went straight to the woods to grab some suitable herbs for the survivors. However, when she came back, she found it particularly difficult to treat anyone without her actual medicine kit on hand.

Captain Kitsu Keiji led a search party looking for the missing sailors that had been swept overboard. So many had been lost in the storm, Keiji ended up composing a short song to help the search party remember the right names to call out.

Soon the sailors were marching along the beaches singing loudly as they searched through the flotsam for signs of survivors.

Song for finding missing people! wrote:
The weather started getting rough,
The mighty ships were tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The squadron would be lost
The squadron would be lost.

The people were washed on the shore
Of this uncharted desert isle
With Edogawa,
Sanjuro too.
A Shosuro and his wife,
A magistrate,
Wataru and Muhaki Ran,
Here on Kameyama Isle!



Search and Rescue, Call out to each other with 2 raises, Perform: Song 30 hits TN30
2 S&R points

So many people, but only one Tori... as the others go hither, thither, and yon finding more injured crew, Tori gets her medicine kit and quickly realizes how woefully underprepared this expedition is in the field, considering her limited expertise is near the top of the ability they can field.

This is going to be a long day...

Still. Triage applied. Start with the worst you can save...

Broken arm... broken leg... there that bleeding could get severely infected, if left untreated if she doesn't bleed out first. There's a place to start.

The little Crane takes her medicine kit and sets to work, as her crew fans out to either find, move, or tend to survivors. Things can be replaced. People cannot.

((I tend one of the previously found individuals using option 8.
Medicine, 1R, TN25, VP: 6d10o10k5 33, pass. Success with one raise, which I see now does nothing! ^^U +1 S&R point.
Heal Wounds: 2d10o10k1 9, 9 wounds healed to undefined person found.))

While Kaiya looked for signs of water or food, Edogawa examined the sea waters. Spotting some debris, he tried to snag it with a fallen palm frond, but it quickly became clear that it was fruitless. He found a tree to lean against and sit down, while waiting for rescue.

May as well give it a shot and hope for a miracle...

For his part, Rokuro followed the first boats ashore, his waterlogged form starting to dry out.

Wringing out his hair, he muttered vengefully into sunny balmy sky. He wasn't sure which kami he was cursing, but he didn't much care.

Stepping over the flotsam, bits of boat and waterlogged supplies. Perhaps among the rubble he might find sailors.

Living ones, that was... he didn't want to look at the drowned bodies, but he still had to take note to direct the cleanup teams.

Finally, he sighed, and smiled.

Kneeling, he checked one of the dead, and noted that his first guess had been accurate.

There was a breath, and when pitched upright, the man began coughing out breaths full of water. Soon, he would recover.

Ringo looks around after the storm. He keeps an eye out for less honourable opportunists that may take advantage of the situation for short term gains at the expense of the Imperial Explorers as a whole. When he catches someone in the act he merely moves behind the scavenger and stares them down. The scavenger panics at the large shadow behind them and then runs off.


/ #2. Threaten a scavenger into dropping the loot.
Willpower/Intimidation (Control) vs tn 20. Wound penalty. Void = 27. Pass.
+1 S&R Point

9 S&R Points. 3 People retrieve their stuff to the point of it being in the condition of:

Quote:
"what could break broke and what could soak soaked unless special precautions about individual items had been made (PC call, just do not make things up now if you didn't take care of them at DGC)"


Who? Karma! Going by Disadvantages and Advantages. First, we eliminate the Unlucky ones. Then, those with Bad Fortune of any type. Then, those who Fortunes and/or Elements dislike. Then, we single out those who are Lucky and/or who Fortunes favour. And this leaves us with this trio:

Quote:
Doji Haruka
Matsu Yasuhiro
Kakita Kaiya


---

Since no-one has turned violent on the locals, each person who rolled or who was stranded on the beach during this time gets +0.1 Reputation. Those who earned points found some small things of some worth that can be turned in for +0.1 Honour per S&R point or monetised for 2 bu per S&R point. The latter option causes no moral harm because the find could be unrelated to the Explorers, like an amber or a small pearl or a beautiful concha or a really awesome exotic fruits spot.

Bishamon and Benten stared at Suitengu intensively.

"...well, all right, if you insist. But only to them. The rest is mine."
