Ide Rushia, a caravan master and socialite, sent out invitations to a few selected Samurai. She wishes to enjoy a picknick and some entertainment, catch up on recent events in the city and get in touch with a few new faces.

After the guests have been introduced and everyone got acquainted, the hostess will provide a unique experience:

Braiding a kumihimo ribbon together!

The Flow of the Afternoon

Unlike our structured intrigue, this part of the event is Freeform. There is no ticking clock or initiative order—simply enjoy the atmosphere, converse at your leisure, and approach the braiding looms whenever the inspiration strikes!

Finding Your Inner Calm

The excitement of the picnic may have been taxing, but peace is returning.

• If your Strife rose above half of your Composure during the first part, it now drops back down to that halfway mark.
• If you were already below that threshold, your strife does not change.

The Challenge: Braiding on the Kumidai

Ide Rushia has provided exquisite kumidai (braiding stands) and fine silk threads for everyone. Your goal is to gather Momentum to complete a beautiful ribbon.

The Crafting Difficulty:

• Simple Round Ribbon: 2 Momentum
• Simple Flat Ribbon: 3 Momentum
• Complex Round Ribbon: 5 Momentum
• Complex Flat Ribbon: 6 Momentum (A masterpiece!)

The Roll: > Fire / Design TN 1

A Helping Hand: Thanks to Rushia’s expert instructions and the high-quality equipment, you receive a Skilled Assist on every roll! Additionally, each Bonus Success you generate adds +1 Momentum toward your goal.

Make it Your Own

Just like before, your unique talents are what make you a true Samurai! If you feel a specific Advantage, Disadvantage, School Ability, or Shuji should influence your work, please check with me before you roll.
