Context: Ayumu has been lowkey bothering people with the idea of building a portable shrine to the Fortunes for some time now. Today is the day of reckoning.
Objective: Present a nice shrine to Hantei on D9, LE
Reward: ??? + Bragging rights
The awesome Seppun Dawei has started working on a portable shrine to the Fortunes. But we could use some help from other talented fellows if we want to have it manned with 7 occupants before we dig deeper into the darkness.
Sculpture
The sculpting itself is Artisan: Woodcarving/Awareness against a base TN of 15. Failure means the statue is so bad it's discarded.
Simple success grants a statue with a Quality of 0. Each Raise on a success grants 1 extra Quality point. Quality serves no purpose but fluff.
Only a single statue can be sculpted per player per slot. However, a player can also sculpt in another, EM to LE, thread, and sculpt several statues in total that way. As Seppun Dawei taught us, woodcarving can be done under any circumstance if you're composed enough. Just link your result in this thread so we can keep track of it.
Several statues of the same Fortune can be made, but only the best ones will be put in the shrine (the total of the rolls will be used as tiebreaker if needed). Those who don't make the cut will be kept per their respective creators.
Enough good wood is freely available on-site, no need to roll for that.
Painting
Sculptures can be painted with Artisan: Painting/Awareness against a base TN of 15. Succeeding the roll would give the statue one extra Quality point, plus 1 per Raise taken on the roll. Failure would reduce Quality per 1, plus an extra -1 per Raise taken.
Painting is relatively quick and can be done in the same thread as sculpting. You can paint a sculpture from another player, with their permission, and can paint in other threads. Just make sure you don't paint sculptures which haven't been made yet, and that you post your result here.

This very thread will now continue with fluff about people meeting to start working on the shrine and the statues.
