Am I lost to the Shadowlands or can I return to camp?

If I have XP left from when we go xp can I get a skill and be active this day?
You can return.

Yes.

Do those who formed clans/families in game 1 have cities already for their clans?
No. At most, they have towns, and like 1/4 to 1/2 of one castle. Imperials might have a little more because they're Imperials.

Character Goals - Getting into the Nitty Gritty There is a question at the end of the second tag. There's no need to rush. We've got time, and you three need your rest. I'm posting this one so you can talk about it and let me know.

As always, I'm fine with whatever answer.

For goals, is starting a major heresy a 4 point goal per empire spanning projects/cultural norms?

Can make a LE Thread collecting the survivors of the first line or wait until we see how the second line goes?
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.
I just (rather belatedly) found this scene! Glad to learn I've been dragged back by the living. :lol:

For the 'choose your disad' element of the event, I thought I might as well ask whether, narratively speaking, having Great Destiny offers any defense against the nastier effects of this near-death experience. Does it?

Fraid not, one can fulfill a great destiny with one eye or a doubtful stance about their weapon.

Character Goal for Approval with writeup link included
2 points on my end, 3 points from Taochusu on their end. They can confirm that we're both on board with the plan and I'm giddy with excitement. ^_^

They've got a good head for this!

If it's approved, we'll post the info publicly.

Experience Expenditures
--Includes the thing that I had briefly put down about "Unlearning." Provided that her Character Goal is approved, and this is ok, that's the plan listed in there.

Honor Recording
--Which includes a fair case for anyone that had an interest in taking a reputation gain for participating in this game, particularly those of Reputation 4 or less.

For what I assume are blatantly obvious reasons (namely that we don't have another game with this character for six months to a year probably) there is NO rush on this. :lol:

Do we need to spend goal points if we want the proto-nemuranai made during the trip to subsist? Like Dawei's shrine (more or less blessed by a god, a Fortune and Shinsei at this point), Saruko's banner and probably others I'm unaware of.

I'd a question about Ko's offscreen goal here which I think did not get spotted in the scramble of D16--totally wasn't urgent then, but I guess now is the moment for it?
