Are there any horses (even work horses, that the heimin might have) in the area that could be purchased/conscripted?

Horses that can be borrowed for specific reasons, yes.

The next post, http://spiritwar.fallenash.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=251&start=218, too, please?

I'm not entirely sure what's going on there.... elaborate?

There was a note that Kendo was avoiding looking at the balcony. A couple of us looked on purpose.

It might be worth pming the person in charge of the character you're doing the investigation roll on to explain what you're intending to do with your rolls for clarity. That thread is fast moving and the GMs are super busy.

You are correct; I apologize for not having done that, and I thank you for the lesson. (Truly!)

Is the Jade Hand something that can be used as a glove or gauntlet? My recollection is that it was more of a prosthetic but I'm stuck at work so I can't check.

Time of the Void, p. 78

It was a left hand, wrist and partial forearm composed of segmented jade plates that when attached function as a normal gloved hand. The Jade Hand was known to be used as a replacement hand, but it was theorized that it could also be worn as a normal glove.

You can glove it.

Won't do a whole lot as a glove, but... it's green?

New to Hollow Throne in general, so:

Do all threads need to wrap up immediately on day change or is there a grace period to finish late threads that didn't conclude fast enough?

Lucidicide · **Posted:** Thu Apr 09, 2020 3:31 am

You may continue to chat after day switch, but you may no longer roll dice.

And, ideally, you do wrap them up without too much delay. It gets very confusing with a ton of days happening at once.

(Unless Mindshred says differently)

I never checked:

Quote:

In an authorized thread, a character can attempt a TN 15 Courtier (Rhetoric)/Awareness roll. On a success, the character earns their choice of either 1 Traditionalist Point or 1 Imperialist Point, plus one additional point for each successful Raise. A character can only make one such influence attempt per thread.

As this is attempting to influence peoples opinions, does it count as opposed?

Are both gates closed, or just the east?

Is the city surrounded, or are the refugees/Steel Chrysanthemum's Army just on the Eastern portion?

If the outing to look for Crane champ seems legit and is approved, when and how it could possibly happen? Is EA possible, or some side-exit after EE?

Whenever folks decide to do it.

Getting in and out will be more of a hassle from EE onwards.

Both gates are closed. Refugees are on both sides, though much heavier on east.

Does hassle imply we need to do some sneaking around, if we want to get behind the walls EE onwards?
