Does Threshold barrier apply to the floor? Could one go underneath and come up in order to get past it?
Unsei spent the opportunity to seal the area out to range one from themselves. If they hadn't done that that would've worked.

Since it is a downtime ritual/activity does that mean that they could continuously place it every timeslot? It will only last for two hours so that puts it at one whole timeslot. Can Luixian just wait it out or are they able to place down another one back to back?

Alternatively assuming Unsei foolishly goes to sleep tonight then all I would have to do is make an EN thread to get to them?

Well if they go to sleep, and you stay up, you can definitely get to them. Alternatively, if you just stand pressed right up against the barrier, you can run at them when the first barrier falls

Would that need to be in an EN thread as the barrier will last two hours currently

Last question. What would be the vigilance of someone sleeping and for stealth versus another player do I need to beat their vigilance?

Air + Fitness to sneak up on them. If they're awake and alert, you need to beat their vigilance. I'd probably lower their vigilance to 1 if they're asleep. You could wake them up if you were really clumsy, but it's much easier.

So what's the deal with the rings listed for each approach. like the monk theology roll says
"Games/ Courtesy/, Performance/ Theology at TN 3 (Void 1, Earth 4, Fire 4)?



Pick one of those skills. The TN goes up or down based on the approach.

So I could do Void/Theology at TN 1?

While having perfectly symmetrical advantages and disadvantages makes for a nice looking sheet, it also means that I must ask if any of Famously Successful or Gaijin Culture, or both (in which case they would cancel each other out) applies to today's event.

(in retrospect, maybe I should have asked about Gaijin Culture on the D2 event too, even if the rolls weren't fire-based... way too late to reroll, just remove 1 Courtship Point from Mitsuki if it should have been applied back then)

Keep you courtship point

\Famously successful is only triggering if you use Fire/courtesy
Gaijin culture only if you use Fire/Command
