Daily Art and Courtier Training (Mandatory Event)

Post by Vutall » Tue Jun 09, 2020 8:25 pm

Daily Art and Courtier Training

After the morning duties are completed, a small number of sensei ask those whose schools specialize in either the arts or courts to remain inside the dojo to conduct their morning training. They go over a number of different topics each day, usually involving a story of a court they had attended and ask the students what they think could have been done differently, or what was done correctly. Additionally, one or two sensei ask students of the arts to observe and attempt to copy them in their art, and correcting mistakes as they spot them.
This is a repeatable event, and will happen over multiple days. Each day, you must select a Ring to use, at which point, you may not use that ring again for this event. Players should make a note in their Personal Forum with a topic called "Daily Art and Courtier Training " and note which days they used each ring.

Characters with Seven Fortunes Blessing may only use their blessing for one roll per event.

Characters who have the following disadvantages have the following penalties:
Antisocial: Instead of suffering the dice penalty, instead increase your TNs by 1 or 2 respectively.

Only characters with the Artisan, Courtier, or Shinobi school tags may enter this event

In order to complete the training, you must do the following:

Select a ring to use (not including Void), not using the same ring you have already selected before for this event. You will use either its physical or mental traits for this event. (Artisans choose either a physical or Mental trait, based on what the artisan skill typically uses. Courtiers use only Mental traits)


Then, make a Meditation/Void check at TN6. If you succeed, you gain that ring as a bonus to your rolls for this event
Then, you must complete the following steps in order, selecting either Arts or Court:

Arts

Pick a skill: Acting, Artisan (any), Perform (Any)

Then you must make three rolls using that skill with the TN starting at 4, then 5, then ending at 6.

Courts

First you must make a Courtier roll at TN 4

Then a Sincerity roll at TN 5

Finally an Etiquette roll at TN 6

Rewards:

Arts
  • -For every roll you succeed, you gain +2 Dojo Points
  • -if you succeed all three rolls, you gain +1 to the skill used. You may only gain this reward once per skill.
  • -If you ever roll a 15 or higher on any skill, you gain the Great Potential advantage for that skill
  • -If you have a roll explode twice on a Perform skill that relies on your voice (such as Singing or Oratory), you gain the Voice Advantage
  • -If you have a roll explode twice on an Artisan skill, you gain the Soul of Artistry advantage
  • -If you have a roll explode twice on a Perform skill, you gain the Sensation advantage
  • -At the end of the event, you gain a permanent +1 to the Mental and Physical Traits associated with the ring you selected. You may only gain this reward once per Trait.
Special: On the final iteration of this event, If you pass at all of your Art rolls in at least 3 of the 4 events, you gain the Touch of the Spirit Realms: Yomi Advantage. You MUST pick a school skill that matches one of the passed skills used during the 4 events

Court
  • -For every roll you succeed, you gain +2 Dojo Points
  • -If you succeed all three rolls, you gain +1 to your choice of either Coutier, Sincerity, or Etiquette. You may only gain this reward once per skill
  • -If you ever roll a 15 or higher on any skill, you gain the Great Potential advantage for that skill

  • -If you have a roll explode twice on an Etiquette roll, you gain the Clear Thinker advantage
  • -At the end of the event, you gain a permanent +1 to the Mental and Physical Traits associated with the ring you selected. You may only gain this reward once per Trait.

The heat and humidity weren't really a problem for Saburo. Heat was pleasant on his bones, and he wore linen, which was a cooling garment all things considered. When he arrived, the sensei knew to expect him again this session. There had been talk that he intended to continue with the development he had seen in his Earth, moving to his Water and helping to clear the remaining deficiencies he possessed. A short exchange with the sensei confirmed their willingness after his prior successes.

It proved to be as much a success as before. As always, it seemed that he was almost unable to really focus himself in on the task of meditation. The young man was simply a roil of thoughts, but when he was tasked to demonstrate the capacity he had to be able to perceive the nuances of the court, he showed consistent aptitude, barely short of truly impressing the sensei every time. Saburo took no obvious pride in it, though, grunting to himself every time. He could have done remarkably better. It left in his mind a deepening question about how to address what was arguably his ascendant element, Fire... but that would wait a few more days.

For now, he looked.... marginally less haggard and poor in health than he had when he arrived. He might even have filled in a very small amount, or perhaps that was just perception? Either way, he looked a little more confident than he had the first times he'd come.

After her failure with Air, Mai decided to try to her hand at weaponsmithing. She was able to get the senseis to listen to her arguments and found herself at a forge. It turned out she was a natural.

The highborn Scorpion would be using the power of Air today, trusting in his inherent feel for the courts. For the first time, he found that the Way opened naturally for him. With a perfect center, he began the task. For the first time, it was not his impeccable social defense that caught they eye of the sensei, but his vicious offense. His every word rang with truth and was carefully tailored to pursue his aim. He came away a far stronger courtier than he had been before.

Today's training found Nobuko remaining near the other courtly learners instead of moving off to the side with the artisans. She was more interested in continuing some of the debates about what could have been done or what should have been done than in playing again or having her skill in Origami reconfirmed. They were here to learn and she wanted to have more insight into some of the potential roles she would have to play after her gempukku. Not unexpectedly, she did quite well.

Another day, another artisan event. Sakura today was not making anything, which surprised the judges. Instead she stood there, took a calming breath, and began to sing a soft song. Her voice was a beautiful one, moving the judges to tears (or would have if they were not samurai of importance!)

By the end Sakura had tears in her eyes, but she still finished the song.

"Kimi no tame kimi no tame
Owaranai yume miru
Arigatou arigatou
Koe ga todokanakutemo...

Arigatou arigatou
Itsumademo inotteru.
"

She bowed, and quickly retreated. Needless to say, she had passed.

Praise the Kami, Shiso finally learned to sit in one place for more than a dozen seconds and actually focus on their thoughts!

Dragon 6. Meditaiton. TN6: 1d10 6

A clever suggestion that would lead the other to stick to fallacious convictions followed!

Dragon 6. Water! Courtier (Manipulation) TN4.: 4d10ro1o10k1 17

And it was oh-so-sincere of Shiso!

Dragon 6. Water! Sincerity (Deceit). Special Ad! TN5.: 4d10ro1o10k2+1 15

While keeping the necessary decorum. No joke, these Ruby dojos were a great environment for a little piranha like them to learn to swim.

Dragon 6. Water! Etiquette. Benten's. TN6.: 2d10o10k2 13

Kaidan took a deep breath as he focused. This was going to be difficult task this day, to notice the folds of the paper and try to replicate them precisely. To apply the correct force to the paper so that the crease would stand on it's own. NOPE... The paper had an odd sensation as he folded he could only make a paper frog with the set of folds given.

He blinked... blinked again... and a third time... He took the.paper frog and crumbled it into a ball.
