D2 LE Event: Heroic Tales

[Kuu]

Because I'm not worried if you know. Approved. Day 2 LE.

The Order of Heroes has a few tales to tell of those it immortalizes in it's temples. But they promote the celebration of heroes great and small from across the empire. They seek to gather the tales of heroics that have been performed across the land so that it might keep a written record of all those that struggle and lead for the good of their people. But the Order of Heroes believes that those heroes should be honored with just a smidge of excitement and adventure thrown in if needed. The future generations should learn of the heroes that make their way of life possible, but they should be excited to learn those tales.

The dining hall has been organized in conjunction with a meal and drinks so that people may honor the heroes that are spoken of with toasts and cheers.

Location: Dining Hall

Participants: Unlimited

Time: LE

Rules:
The Greatest Tale: The first roll in the event is the actual story. This is a performance roll using either Perform: Storytelling / Awareness or Perform: Oratory / Awareness vs TN 20. Success gives the character 2 Story Points plus 1 more for each successful raise. Failure and failed raises simply result in a poorly told story that is incoherent and it will not be recorded.

The Tallest Tale: The second roll in the event represents how believable the story is. This is a Sincerity (Honesty or Deceit) / Awareness check vs TN 15. If the story that you are telling is meant to be accurate with no embellishments, use Honesty. If it is meant to be embellished a bit use Deceit. Since this is meant to be used in an artistic and entertaining way, this use of Deceit is not considered a low skill. Success gives the character 1 Story point plus 1 more for every 2 successful raises. Failure and failed raises simply result in a story that seems too outlandish or unbelievable and it will not be recorded.

Rewards and Consequences:
Every character that at least passes both rolls will ensure that the hero they tell their story about will have their tale recorded in the histories of the Order of Heroes. The character with the highest number of story points will be given a personalized and stylized full accounting of their hero's story in fine calligraphy before the court lets out, as well as the services of Kuu himself for any one meeting during the court that they may wish to have documented for them. The character with the second highest number of story points will be able to request a purely artistic calligraphy scroll with a simple word or phrase on it, to be delivered before the court lets out.

Ume enjoys spinning a good yarn. She'll be there.

As will this humble servant

Note:

Stories don't have to be from previous games. You can just make up a story about a recent hero from your clan or family that stood against a threat, or a man that went hungry to feed the needy or whatever you want. In fact, the story in character can be entirely fabricated and never actually happened. Most people would never know. However: the level of any canonical acceptance by the GMs of any story is not guaranteed or granted by me, only the GMs can OK that. But you telling the story, whether or not it matches the reality of the world, is certainly in character and may potentially be recorded in stories intended to passed down by the Order of Heroes. Your story might one day be the basis of a future epic tale that gets distorted beyond recognition around events that never happened, and still have influence on the culture... who knows?

[Jiyo Sora]

Sora is mechanically garbage at telling tales, but he likes Monks, and old people love talking about the old days. Proven fact.

So he'll try and show up.

[Doji Misaki]

I shall tell the most true tale ever.

[Viveki Doshi]

Sounds like fun!

[Isawa Kyosei]

While he likes hearing tales, Kyosei can't tell a tale to save his life.

[Akodo Daigoro]

Is in.

[Wh'rr'kk]

Rat Storyteller should attend this!

[Jiyo Ayumu]

Should be there too.

[Saru Yatsufusa]

Magic allowed?

[Kuu]

Yes. The Togashi tattooed. Though using shadowlands powers is frowned upon.

[Saru Yatsufusa]

Though using shadowlands powers is frowned upon.

dammit, i just wanted to use TOUCH OF DEATH!

[Kuu]

You can. But Kuu will frown. Other people might react more violently, but Kuu will frown aggressively.

[Akodo Moshi]

Yes. The Togashi tattooed. Though using shadowlands powers is frowned upon.

Using kiho, which element is most common in the dining hall for Touch the Void Dragon?

[Kuu]

That I do not know. It's a question for the GMs. That's usually a more larger landscape issue.

[Isawa Kyosei]

Right now, with all the snow, wouldn't it all be water?
