Does jade help in the event?
I'm going to go ahead and say yes on this, because jade just broadly helps resist the taint, but it might reduce the duration the jade is effective. That's a Canary level decision.
I shall await the Overbirb, then, with gratitude for the Underbirb's assistance!
Jade does help, and the finger is not reduced.

I need some adjudication here. Namely, do I still count the rolls made, do I just count the Earth roll to (fail to) resist Taint, do I count neither, or what?

Your roll is at +10 because of the Jade, as noted in the announcements, so you would have made it if you'd needed it. You don't need the rolls, you're saved and can leave the water immediately this round. Takako just needs to get out next round.

Is there something I can do to drag Takako with me?

No, but she'll be fine, as Nanzi noted. :)

Sorry for the double post, but Ninube is scouting the Wetlands. Not sure if anything is needed, but the description implies it may be useful, so dropping this here.

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.

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?

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.

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)?
