(D2, MM) Love Throughout History (Event)
Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2021 6:44 am
A long line of nervous young samurai are lined up in the hallway awaiting their interview with Shika Pei Pei. While there are likely many opportunities to impress the matchmakers in the coming weeks, the first meeting with Shika Pei Pei is likely to set the tone for the weeks to come.
Pei Pei's receiving room is nice, though not terribly ostentatious. She sits behind a desk with a seat before it for the candidate. Behind her are a small array of gifts, likely from candidates from miais past: a silver comb, a decorated scroll, and a small bonsai tree.
Pei Pei bows upon the candidates admission and pours a cup of tea. After an appropriate amount of small talk, she comes to the point of the interview.
"As I'm sure you know, one's ancestry is an important factor when considering the best possible match for a person. And make no mistake, we've done fairly exhaustive research into the background of the candidates, so there are no real surprises to be had." she offers. "However, what I would like to hear from you in this interview is the name of the four of your ancestors that you think are particularly relevant to you when we consider the best match for you. Use whatever criteria you like to determine who that should be."
Pei Pei looks expectantly at the candidate.
There are three approaches that the characters may choose from in this event:
1) A proud lineage of focus: Choose 1 skill. Roll Earth/Chosen Skill 4 times. TN 1, 2, 3, 4. This is to show your family's mastery of a particular skill, be it great swordsman or adept artist.
2) Masters of a field: Choose 1 skill group. Roll Earth/4 different skills in that group . Two of the TNs are 2, and two of them are 3, you choose before rolling which skill is which TN. This is to show that your family is not just a master of a particular skill, but masters of an entire field, be in martial arts masters or all knowing scholars.
3) Stars across the Empire: Choose 4 different skills in 4 different skill groups. Earth/Chosen skills each at TN 3. This is to show that your ancestors are capable of anything.
Scoring Priority:
Most rolls passed
Most opportunities used to show off.
Most total bonus successes.
Highest total bonus successes on a single roll.
Highest Status.
Highest Glory.
Highest Honor.
