The Pre-Game

[Faily]

People from different walks of life have been traveling to the Emperor's home in the mountains. Some coming to seek their fortune in the tournament of skills, others in search of enlightenment and knowledge, some to merely observe, and a few for nefarious purposes. Even some of the Emperor's students are returning home for the occasion.

You find yourself among these travelers, having endured the long trek up the inhospitable mountains where the Emperor has secluded himself. Now you have reached Last Step Inn, a humble inn that has been constructed here to house those who take the journey up here, and the tattooed monks representing Togashi present inform you and everyone else upon arrival that none may progress further until the time is right.

Perhaps you find yourself among those who have been waiting here for a couple of days already, or you're in luck and arrive to hear that tomorrow will be the day to travel the last distance to the Imperial Palace.

As the day of travel awaits everyone on the morrow, the inn's staff does their best in presenting a celebratory meal with some music to accompany.

Welcome to pre-game! All PCs (including Imperial characters) start the game here, and at the beginning of Day 1 may travel to the High House of Light, with special rules to follow for Competitors.

You may make scenes in any location in the Inn for pre-game, with a limit of participating in 3 scenes. For the purposes of rest, no matter when your character decides to rest during pre-game, they will be considered rested at the start of Day 1, with all their Void Points available.

There will be no dice-rolls in pre-game.
