(IRR) The Rokugan Industrial Revolution Recruiting Thread (Overun Thread)

[Macbrea]

Ok, I need to drop some items:

I remove my claims to the following to drop my total to 95/110

Seikitsu San Tama no Oi (Spine of the World Mountains) PL 10 : IR 0
Pokau (Town) PL 2 : IR 3
Hotei Seido (Shrine) PL 6 : IR 2
Kagoki (Village) PL 1 : IR 1
Shimomura (Village) PL 1 : IR 1

I claim the following to bring my total back to 100/100

Celestial sword of Clan Mantis: Same rules as rest of swords. Currently location Kyuden Bayushi main hall on display. PL 10

PC: Bayushi Nori (male Samurai 19 / honor 2) PL 2
NPC: Bayushi Kanman (male Ninja/Bayushi deciever/Shadow walker 6/4/4 /Honor 0) PL 1

Shinobai Acting Troops (ninja) PL 2 IR 5
(Special rule: can make an attack on one city unit without retribution if they moved the turn before.)

 

[The Forsaken One]

Anyone already claimed the Mantis? (I think so or someone just wants the artifacts )
And where can I see the claims lists?

And is the Shinomen Mori (Hidden Forest) Claimable for some custom group?

2 Pheonix Artifacts and 1 Fox Artifact still need to be rolled on, so thats 3 rolls. I anticipate that most players are going to claim 1 or more artifacts in addition. Scrolls are mostly handed out, with one exception (I can't remember who off-hand, but I'm sure they will remind me).

Is it still possible to destroy the scrolls, for those of us who got one but don't want it?

 

[Xeriar]

Note: I'm changing my PCs Honor to 5. I was looking over his history and basic character, and I decided it fits more.

Something to be aware of - before Hitomi, the Phoenix and the Dragon were staunch allies for their entire history - they never even had so much as a border skirmish.

Personally I'm still having problems getting around their war in the storyline - friends for over a millenia, I have difficulty even imagining that someone like Agasha Tamori could drive such a wedge between the two clans.

I honestly don't think they should be able to be destroyed as this means that they would have been destroyed immediately after the freeing of Fu Leng. The scrolls entice Shugenja to possess them. But the Samurai class would have destroyed them immediately. This also results in an activity for the Shadowlands to try and do. Recover all scrolls, by whatever means.


Though, I also feel that the Celestial swords shouldn't be able to be destroyed being artifacts and all. This means if your clan losses their sword it should have to be hunted down. I currently possess, storywise, the Mantis clan sword. It should be a big deal for them to ask, demand, or take the sword back.


If the scrolls can be destroyed then I will destroy any scroll I receive. As they are a blight on my Yogo family. If they cannot be destroyed it means my Yogo family has the task of recovering all of their scrolls and keeping the shadowlands from getting them.


One way is a 20 second post of "I destroy mine", the other is a herculian plot for me to play with and politic amongst the other players with.

From what I can tell the clans not taken so far are:

Great Clans

Mantis (islands to the southeast of continent)
Crane (South central coastline)



Minor clans
Falcon (Crab territory)
Hare (South scorpion territory)
Ox
Wasp (mantis territory)
Centipede (mantis territory)
Seppun (imperial family)
Monkey
Dragonfly (almost destroyed by Dragon and Pheonix war)
Sparrow
Tortoise

Just a note: I think that should be 10 extra from me as well. I don't think the original 150 counted my claim of the Dragon Clan Sword. I hope the extra PL I'm giving over doesn't go to any of my enemies, heh.

You are right. That makes 4 rolls at this point.

Staff of the Trickster: +5 Jade Quarterstaff of Speed and Impact /+5 Chaotic Holy Crystal Quarterstaf of Imapact. Frees a Chaotic wielder from alignment based class restrictions permanently .The wielder is immune to taint and all enchantments and divinations that he does not wish to be subject too. The Staff of the Trickster is a sentient item with formidable intelligence and charisma if a bit lacking in wisdom.

Creamsteak can decide its IR effects

Well, immunity to taint and all enchantments is fine for the weilder, and divinations are okay -but watch out for regular spies. Do you want a +1/+1 Army bonus or a +3/+3 character bonus. Those are the two abilities I am handing out mostly with artifacts. If you want something more precise, tell me.

 

[Creamsteak]

I have decided to make six additonal NPCs, all level 14.

Class levels are:

Rogue 7/ Ninja Spy 7, Rogue 7/ Shadow Scout 7, Monk 7/ Tattooed Monk 7, Samurai 7/ Weapon Master 7, Shugenja 14, Shugenja 14.

Histories will follow soon. I will decide on my other two NPCs in a few days.

I'll add this post to my notes on your faction.

I'll copy your post. Your ninja's will act like NPCs for the purpose of getting from one point to another, and basically can be sent on the same missions. However, they don't regenerate from damage like NPCs, and they are basically normal units.
