Is the Spellcraft/Earth roll a cooperative roll or are the others assumed to be too busy communing to assist?
Think this one might have gotten missed.
Yes, thank you. Others are too busy communing to assist. If you're there, you're assumed to be able to manage.

Sorry, just to make sure I've got the right idea for the remaining rolls in The Wedding:

2A - Every Shugenja makes this roll (TN10 Earth Casting Roll)

2B - Every Shugenja also makes this roll (TN30 Spellcraft/Earth Roll)

2C - One Shugenja makes this roll (TN30 Earth Casting Roll), with bonuses for each other Shugenja that succeeded at 2B

And all of these rolls get the bonus from Reiko in Part one.

...

Is that correct?

To escape the Shadowlands, the characters must make a sprint for the exit. They must each make three Athletics/Stamina rolls at TN 10, 15, and 20. Failing any of the rolls will result in a delay of one round and everyone having to retry that round's roll, since the group has to stay together within the barrier. The Maw will catch up and do 5 points of integrity damage to the barrier in 6 rounds. This will continue until all characters make all three rolls successfully.

Yamadono must continue maintaining the barrier during each round, and Ch'chit may continue using his bonus or healing.
Is each roll one round or all three done in one round? Also they have 6 rounds before they take 5 Integrity from the Maw?

Nobody knows there even are survivors until Reo's return in the Early Night. That said, there will be a thread to attempt retrieval during the Late Night slot as a result of this, if enough people come by. Reo himself cannot carry anyone free.

Pertaining to "Those Who Return" - Reo doesn't feel competent to roll for stealth (which given his disadvantage is understandable). Is it possible for Ninube or Phi to make a second attempt to find Taochusu's body, or is the limit one attempt/body per person?

I'm fine either way. Just want to check. Much as she wants to save Taochusu's body, the living come first.

Someone can attempt a second run or, if a third player wishes to retrieve the body, they can just say they followed after. Both of the living players were saved already so the matter of who does corpse recovery is up to you.

In relation to the Goals:

Have the Kami strongholds (Kyuden Hida, Kuyden Doji, etc) started construction/been built?
Most of them are at least starting construction, but points can be spend to have a hand in helping with/designing them.

Since Xia's expressed an interest, I'll let her figure out if she's able to get in, but if not, then absolutely. Will be glad for the help either way.
