Thank! I enjoyed them too but I wishwe could have interacted more about the borb saving. Has for what happened, Shiwahime died drawing fire away from the hostages during the game's final fight day 10. She died with honor, giving her life to the lords of Death willingly!Kakita Haruhi wrote: Thu Dec 11, 2025 6:05 am What happened to you? I didn't get the whole story, though I did hear you were an amazing ghost.
I enjoyed our scenes!
Thanks! Shiwahime loved theatre in life but never truly take the stage. Being a ghost allowed her to flex some supernatural light and sound effects for extra impactMiya Kisha wrote: Thu Dec 11, 2025 7:39 am You were an amazing ghost!
Thank you for playing with me; I really do appreciate it!
If Shiwahime was going to get a Gentry, what would it have been?
That it did! Considering her themes and how she was evolving her death was quite an appropriate finale. A tragedy but with a little t...the fate of so many bushi that sees action.Hatoful GM wrote: Thu Dec 11, 2025 8:06 am An honorable end that seemed to suit the character well.
What and who did she come back for d11? What awaits her in the afterlife?
Let me say I absolutely loved the ghost scene, it was an absolutely unexpected highlight of the whole campaign!
My apologies about that! Haruto was always meant to be a religious figurehead/representative/lore dump for Lavoie and a keikaku patsy/fall guy. As Agasha Sorato found in his meeting, his religious devotion is rather fixated, while being completely ignorant of his obvious blind spots in Rokugan society. Seeing something like a ghost was quite shattering and upsetting to his beliefs in itself, he would be more scared than readily understanding to change his views.Moto Shiwahime wrote: Thu Dec 11, 2025 10:25 am She appeared to three people d11: Kisha, Ichitaiyo and Haruto. The two first took up my offer and it was fitting that'd she appear to them. As for Haruto she wanted to help him but she is not delicate and he was too much of an NPC, in all sense of the word.
And thank you for running it!Boogiepop wrote: Thu Dec 11, 2025 4:44 pm

And yikes, that combat damage! That happening was in the 1% but it's not zero. I've found myself fearing all damage dice after that, and seeing a few outlandish ones during the game. 2k2 can indeed turn into a 51 potentially.
I was toying with the idea that Shiwahime would be the scourge of the Golden Shotengai...

Alas, I couldn't quite find the time.
Did she concede in the Shiawase Rally because of her passengers, despite her compulsion? It did seem there was a likelihood of 3k1 Damage.
Thank you returning and Banner!
