Quick question - Is this considered a social roll, and can Ikoma bard among us activate our school ability to console or agitate?

If so, do we lose honour for deliberately agitating our opponent?

Two things. First a quick private note here: http://kyudenshika.fallenash.com/viewto ... 6&start=20

Second, can Well of Desire be used to reduce a TN to zero? I don't see this explicitly one way or the other?

If so, is it an automatic success? Every rolled success is a bonus success?

Water Opportunity symbol: To refuse your gift, your target must forfeit glory equal to your Water Ring. Additionally, if the gift is something that the target desires, the target also must suffer strife equal to its rarity to refuse it. If your target accepts the gift, reduce the TN of your next Social skill check targeting them by the rarity of the item (to a minimum of 1).

Event question:
I am confused is with the skill set. Can one continue the argument with the same ring but different skill or one can keep argumenting with the same skill and have to change approach? Can one keep the same approach and the same skill?

Gonna say no on well of desire. Unlike the interview with Pei Pei, this isn't really the appropriate time to bust out a gift.
