One of the books lists crossbow as 5 koku for cost. Can I assume that is appropriate for crafting? I passed the "invention" check, so I'd like to start making one.
No. Crossbows take a long time to build realistically, and a longer time to develop. They also require some fairly small fiddly metal bits. I'm willing to give it to you to invent it post game, but it's not really within the scope of this one.

You know what we need? More crafting questions. Just in case.

How much slots would it take to change a rabbit pelt into a simple hat or vest with a good old Craft: Tailoring/Intelligence roll? What would be the TN? What for a more complex design like gloves? Can we assume that a rabbit pelt is a material we can easily put our hands on as cooking rubbish?

EDIT: Bonus related question
Like two slots, TN 15 for simple clothing. 3 and TN 20 for gloves. Yes, rabbit pelts are easy to come by. Tanning in this situation is harder but doable.

Is it possible for those of us who discovered the mutated dhole to report that finding to the Kami without need of a thread (since I assume they're kind of the de facto leaders of the expedition)?

Are the Clan discounts on Advantages a thing yet or is it too early in the setting for them to be such strong trends already? :D

Not sure I understand how to spend XP. Thread in private forum to suggest changes? Do we use the updated values for our skills from Day 7 onward or from Day 9 onward?

Thred or just reply to your character sheet with requested changes. Use the updated values from Day 9 on.

Does Seven Fortunes' Blessing: Benten apply when using Courtier, Etiquette, and Sincerity when speaking with Rat-Rats?

Asking because I'm unsure if Rat-Rats care about Romantic Love blessings xD

Yes. Rats definitely care about affection, so she has influence here.

A scene-setting fluff question!

Is the rescue expedition pretty much made up of just the PCs and named NPCs? Or are there also some number of minor/background NPCs of whom we should be aware?
I think this got missed in the shuffle of actual event questions, but I'm still rather curious about it. :)

There are very few background NPCs, probably ten at most. The grand majority of the expedition is composed of PCs and the listed NPCs.
