If I would ask my corvid friend to search for something, like a rock formation or to open a latch on a window, I assume I would roll water+survival, but what would they then roll to suceed?
2 unless it's something hard, then 3. Typically.
So you would roll with a pool _for_ the bird ?

Since I have ample Earth opportunities to spare, how do options like this one work? Pure fluff?

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.
Does Kuge Lineage apply here?

Edit: second question - if I failed any of the above rolls, could Anxiety proc here? ' You are constantly worried about failing those to whom you have a commitment, such as family, friends, allies, a mentor, or a master'

Can you do a thread to willingly trigger an Anxiety to restore some Void? In the same way you can do a Passion thread, and with the same restrictions (cannot do event/agenda/passion in same thread).

In the Day 2 miai event, if we choose option 1 do we need to roll in the order of 1, 2, 3, 4 or can it be in any order?

Alternately, if using the Well of Desire shuji, can we choose which roll to use it on? I believe it can only be used once.

Something that came up on discord and which might be important for others in regards to when one can apply anexties .
Based on the topic of the D2 event where gajin name as written would normally not apply, but can be argued for , and so arguing for "hey GM can I hurt myself here because of [Disadvantage] seems to work if one wants to use that for strive/void regain.

Scia — Today at 09:45
considering that [Disadvantage is Y instead of Z ] am not hindered by it here right?
but gajin name might do so considering what ancestors I am talking about
Railun — Today at 09:49
[Y] probably won't trigger. Gaijin name can. But on the upside if you fail because of a gaijin name reroll, you get a void point back :slight_smile:"

I have some questions relating to the Day 2 event, which I have stuck in a thread in my private forum here

Still not sure on the etiquette of what to send via PM and what to post here or in the private forum... oh well, learn as I go, please correct me if I did it wrong.

Is this rule still valid? I just remembered it, and I don't think I've seen ever mentioned outside of this post (like, there is no "Big Board of Stakes" for example).

If we're still waiting for event threads to resolve after day-flip, how do we proceed?
