What happened to you? I didn't get the whole story, though I did hear you were an amazing ghost.

I enjoyed our scenes!

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?

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?

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!

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 impact :D

As for gentry I never truly considered it. Maybe a gym? HORSEPOWER! Is a fitting name for a unicorn gym!

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.

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.

Thanks for allowing me to do that!

As for the afterlife she'll mostly serve the Lords of Death...and keep an eye out for her friends.

Let me say I absolutely loved the ghost scene, it was an absolutely unexpected highlight of the whole campaign!

Please confirm that Ghost Shiwahime did see the Shit Poem being delivered!

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.

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!

And thank you for running it!

She stopped at the rally out of the sense of responsibility for her passenger ICly. She's was speed freak but she also was very protective of people she teams up with, especially if she takes the lead. It was one of the reasons why she tried to shock some sense into Haruto, beliving that he had a responsibility to take care of his flock and couldn't just shrug everything up to divine will.

OOcly we could have taken more time for repairs and finished it but I was super busy that couple of days and strategizing our way out was not something I believed we could have achieved. I might have been wrong but I did not want to overly stress people.

Oooh! I wondered how that might come into play! What had you planned?

I think she would have potentially seen Shiwahime as a potential good shopping partner (to carry her bags) and haggle for deals (threaten people)? She could have really used someone like that!
