KAMIGAKARI | Legendary Arms RPG | REQUIEM FOR THE GOD SOUL

PRESENTED BY ZAIA© Chapter 1: Setting Info and New Rules Kamigakari Setting Info - Race

Inheritors

The parts of humanity that carry divine blood, and are born with unusual abilities. Those who have the power of gods, demons, spirits, youkai, and dragons - these people are called “Inheritors”. They are those whose ancestors have deified and worshipped the gods since ancient times. Those ancestors once offered up human sacrifice for the good of the clan, and for their lands. On occasion, one of those humans would grow close with a god, and those clans that are bestowed with those unusual abilities are the ancestors of the Inheritors.

The unusual abilities they control are what are generally known as supernatural powers, which are innate talents- in other words, the density of inherited blood, and traits- that cannot be acquired. Moreover, their unusual abilities are so far not reproducible by practitioners of science and magic alike. However, as these powers are still used with spirit energy, Inheritors can create and obtain items such as Artificial Regalia that bolsters their abilities, and these same abilities can also be affected or resisted through magic and martial arts.

Most Inheritor clans possess a leyline, and the masters of those leylines are often successful people in society. Inheritors such as these naturally end up as influential members of their community, and often depend on the Innocents around them. Conversely, there are no small number of clans who have utilized their positions to seize authority and control the people from the shadows. Most leylines under the control of an Inheritor are the legacy of that clan’s ancestor god, and as they are the cornerstone of the clan’s prosperity, their whereabouts are a tightly-kept secret. Those clans which possess a leyline are always in search of “power”- in other words, strong Godhunters. This is because they must constantly protect their ancestral leyline from other clans and Awakened.

In most cases, Inheritors marry other Inheritors. The reason being they don’t wish to cause the deterioration of their bloodline, and thus their unusual abilities.

1 (More Lore: The Unclean): The [Races] of the world in Kamigakari are able to interbreed. When this happens, the child produced is born as either the mother or the father’s [Race]. For example, were a [Scion] to have children with a [Darkstalker], the child would be either a [Scion] or [Darkstalker]. However, very rarely, a child will be born inheriting the characteristics and physical traits of both parents. The Society especially refers to these children as the Unclean. Unclean, by virtue of birth alone, possess overwhelming power and talent. Because of this, many Unclean are feared as profane, and often end up imprisoned or given over into the custody of a branch family. However, recently, such events are starting to pile up, and frequently develop into supernatural incidents.

In Japan, most Inheritors are affiliated with the Society, more properly known as the Demon Hunter’s Society. The main reason the Society recruits inheritors is to protect the world by unifying a variety of supernatural bloodlines. Additionally, they provide a means to easily find a spouse in order to keep bloodlines from weakening. They do not discriminate, because the power they inherit is vital for defeating Aramitama and protecting the clan’s ley line. Therefore, even now there are many cases of pre-arranged engagements amongst Inheritors. However, among the more modern-minded Inheritors, there are some who rebel against this.

Heroic Spirit In life, they were great leaders who guided their people. Warlords who lead their country to victory time and time again. Warriors who defeated monsters and were enshrined in legend. Noble souls of heroes who have achieved every kind of epic feat imaginable- those are what are known as “Heroic Spirits.”

Heroic Spirits are half spirit and half god, they who had their epic feats carved into the memories of others. These memories, passed down through the ages, are what eventually deifies them. Those feelings of respect and admiration came to dwell within a Shard, and so, the Heroic Spirit was created. As they are born from the merging of a Shard and the will of people, the so-called strength and memories of the world make up a part of their being, which means they can be considered “Guardians of the World.” (More Info: Revenants): Arthur Pendragon. Napoleon Bonaparte. Ryuubi Gentoku. Tokugawa Ieyasu, and more... all are Heroic Spirits that have become eternal existences, the legends of their great deeds being handed down through the ages, from person to person. However, among these Heroic Spirits, there are those who have become embodiments of fear and madness. Their legends have been twisted, their deeds have been exaggerated, and these embellishments are passed down in history as if true. These individuals are instead known as Revenants.

After Purgatory Night sixteen years ago, many Aramitama began to ap- pear in Japan. Of course, this meant there was a higher risk that an Avatar of Ruin would be born- that is, a risk the world would be destroyed. In order to protect those who had faith in them or the world they once called home, Heroic Spirits have begun to appear as well. They manifest in response to summons, or to the outcry of those who need them.

Because Heroic Spirits are “the strength and memories of the world” itself, when they manifest, they already possess a variety of common knowledge and information. And, as their primary motivation is to protect the world, on that point they are already in agreement with modern Godhunters. Because of that, many Heroic Spirits resolve to end all Aramitama using the Promise of Ascension. However, due to past personal experiences, there are many Heroic Spirits who hold their own individual desires and wishes in their hearts.

Though they should have been spoken of as goddesses, the legend of the three Gorgon sisters speaks of them as monsters with cursed eyes that turned all they beheld into stone. Marshal Gilles de Rais was a hero who saved a nation, but then had his eccentricities overstated. These are but a few examples of Heroic Spirits that could be called Revenants.

Normally, Revenants are not summoned. However, when a Revenant materializes (whether due to a curse, malice, or accident), then rather than protect the world, they seek to re-enact the twisted legends and past misdeeds that immortalized them, with the ultimate goal of the world’s destruction. Such evil acts will likely attract an Aramitama, and due to their mutual interests, they will often form a Covenant of Souls with one another. When that happens, in order to defeat the corrupted Revenant, their former comrades-in-arms and nemesis alike will be summoned in order to protect the world. Divine Soul Plants and animals that have become powerful youkai over long years. The feelings of people which dwell within organic materials or machines Ultimately, the wishes of people make these things realize divinity. These inhuman, high-ranking gods- Godhunters exceedingly close to - are known as [Divine Souls]. In short, they are benevolent gods. While Aramitama are born from malice bonding with a Shard, Divine Souls are born from the faith, positivity, and warm feelings of people bonding with a Shard. Because of that, Divine Souls are also called Nigimitama, existences that are opposed to Aramitama. It may help to consider Heroic Spirits as existences where the souls of humanity have gained divinity, whereas Divine Souls are existences where souls of things other than humanity have gained divinity.

The goal of Divine Souls is the exact opposite of Aramitama- in other words, they seek to bring peace to the world, and happiness to the people. However, as the faith of the people is like food to them, if no one gives their faith to the Divine Soul, or if they use up all the spirit energy that sustains their forms, they may completely disappear from the world. Because of that, in order to protect their own lands, in order to grant the wishes and requests of those who believe in them, and in order to reinforce the piety directed towards themselves, Divine Souls involve themselves in supernatural incidents. (Column: The Lives of the Gods): Divine Souls have places such as moun- tains, temples, caverns, and hokora (small roadside shrines) where they live. Many of these places are leylines, and the Divine Souls that control those plac- es, in nearly all cases, are local or earthen gods. They commonly take their orig- inal forms- animals, plants, machines, etc.- and live freely, however once a su- pernatural incident occurs, they set out to resolve it, in the hope it might gather more faith towards them. Also, there are those Divine Souls who are based in temples or have been enshrined, and therefore receive prayer from kannagi and miko. Commonly, those so enshrined will grant the wishes of those who pray to them. As existences with half a soul, Divine Souls do not hunger. That said, they are able to absorb the spirit energy of food, and convert it into their own spirit energy. This also applies to Heroic Spirits. Because of this, many Divine Souls consume the offerings left for them, and they regularly look forward to those. Though, it could be said that the faith placed in the offering, rather than the food made as an offering itself, is what’s appetizing. (More Info: Requests of the Gods): There are times when Godhunters will receive requests from high ranking Mononoke and Divine Souls. These requests will usually concern a “Sanctum,” such as eliminating an Aramitama nesting on a leyline, appeasing or suppressing “Cursed Souls,” or repeling other Godhunters who have appeared within a Sanctum with the goal of “God Eating.” Godhunters who undertake these requests receive [Materials] as a reward that hold no particular effect, called “Treasures.” Requests from Mononoke and Divine Souls are opportunities to earn many [Materials] and further strengthen Artificial Regalia. Because of this, if there are Godhunters who wish to prepare for a fight with a powerful Aramitama, undertaking these requests with the goal of obtaining these “Treasures” in order to strengthen their Regalia is common. (Refer to the [Sanctum] [Cursed Soul] [God Eating] and [Treasure] columns, below.)

(More Info: Age & God Name): Divine Souls and Heroic Spirits are existences that have transcended the concept of age. Rather than make PCs with those races work to determine the exact age of their PC, they may instead write a dash. Also, there are those who only give their “God Names” to those they trust, in order to hide their abilities, and are called after their position or an alias, such as “Knight” or “Count” for a Heroic Spirit, or “Wandering God” or “Master” for Divine Souls. Kamigakari Setting Info - Sanctums

A spiritual realm called a sanctuary, “a land far, far away”, or the realm of the dead. A supernatural labyrinth created when the Mononoke that controls a leyline- the Nushi- combines «Spirit Barrier» with «Sanctify». That is a [Sanctum], a dimensional space. Within a Sanctum, the normal laws of reality are meaningless. In order to destroy a Sanctum, the Nushi that used «Sanctify» must be defeated. Sanctums are found in a variety of places. They aren’t limited to just land and physical locations, but can appear in a variety of places, such as within mirrors, at the bottom of lakes, in television programs and movies, or even within the dreams of a particular creature. The structure, appearance, and size of the interior of a Sanctum is as the Nushi desires. For example, the Sanctum created by a Nushi who reminisces over an old shrine will be a beautiful, Labyrinthine shrine made up of torii gates that go on endlessly. Or a water god Nushi will have their Sanctum “appear as if it was a massive...” aquatic palace built over a vast lake.

There are many kinds of Sanctums, all with incredible sights, but all of them have two commonalities. The first is that cracks of light reminiscent of lightning can be seen in the sky. This can be seen even in the «Spirit Barriers» of other Awakened. The second, is that it is always night inside of a Sanctum. This is thought to be to protect Mononoke, who have no resistance against the light of day, from the rays of the sun. Because of that, Sanctums are called Eternal Nights, or Everdarks. (More Info: Cursed Soul): The Mononoke fear becoming Cursed Souls. A Cursed Soul is a condition unique to Mononoke, where madness arises within a soul and they lose their sense of self, becoming savage. Mononoke who have become Cursed Souls completely lose all judgment and reason, and all that move- even their own family- are devoured, and Innocents have their souls stolen.

There are three ways for a Mononoke to become a Cursed Soul. One is by being bathed in strong sunlight. Another is by being wounded by another Cursed Soul, and their influence infecting their soul. (This depends on the circumstances.) Finally, the power of an Aramitama may directly make a soul frenzied. It should be noted that with a glance, there’s no mistaking an Aramitama or other Mononoke for a Mononoke that has become a Cursed Soul.

The only way to save one who has become a Cursed Soul is to defeat them. Although a defeated Mononoke will disappear, if the Nushi that created the Sanctum is safe, then through us of its divine power, it is possible to reincarnate the Cursed Soul to a previous condition. If for some reason a Cursed Soul occurs within a Sanctum, the Nushi, aware of the risk, will slip out of the Sanctum, and beg for assistance from other tochigami and Godhunters they are acquainted with. When this happens, they will present an assortment of [Materials] called Treasures as a reward for helping them.

(More Info: Treasure): When one receives a request from a Nushi or Divine Soul, a reward will be prepared for them as well. Most of this reward comes in the form of works of art, crafted items, precious metals, and sacramental jewels that hold spirit energy. These items are basically [Materials] that have no particular effect, but because they come in those forms, Godhunters have taken to calling them “Treasure.” Because completing a request guarantees a certain amount of treasure, it’s a more reliable method of obtaining [Materials] than defeating Mononoke. At times, a request that promises treasure is as prof- itable as Aramitama suppression. (More Info: God Eating): On occasion, a friendly Nushi who seeks to coexist with humans will become an ally of mankind. When this happens, the hunting of those Nushi, their families, or those under their protection, as well as the stealing of their leylines, Fool’s Gold, or [Materials], becomes prohibited under the laws of the Godhunters. However, there are also those heartless few who will hunt down friendly Nushi and Divine Souls, placing certain circumstances, requests, or even their own preferences above the law. Godhunters who do this are known as “God Eaters,” and are universally abhorred and treated as criminals.

(Column: Bound Steeds & Bound Primals): An Awakened that has signed a “contract” with a [Contractor] and is set to work by them is called a [Bound Steed] or [Bound Primal]. A “contract” is a secret technique that causes a [Contractor]’s personal «Spirit Barrier» to change into a unique [Sanctum], and becomes the habitat for their [Bound Steed] or [Bound Primal].

The difference between a [Bound Steed] and a [Bound Primal] is a matter of compensation. A [Bound Steed] is a Mononoke that forms a contract with a [Contractor] in return for a large quantity of gold infused with powerful spirit energy, and in so doing entrusts their soul to their new master, becoming an invincible existence- the [Contractor]’s Artificial Regalia. They swear an oath of absolute loyalty to their master, and give them their back. Literally, as they become their master’s limbs, charging across the battlefield as a mount.

Conversely, a [Bound Primal] is a higher-ranking Mononoke or a divinity that forms a contract with the [Contractor] in return for the [Contractor]’s very soul. Although a [Bound Primal] and their [Contractor] form a powerful bond, each time the [Bound Primal] is summoned, it’s necessary for the [Contractor] to sacrifice a piece of their soul- or in other words, their {Crest}. Sanctum Purge

In order to find a person that’s gone missing inexplicably. In order to defeat the culprit behind a supernatural incident. In order to save an allied tochigami or Mononoke. When the PCs invade a [Sanctum] to achieve a goal, or when the entirety of a session starts with the invasion of a [Sanctum] and ends with leaving it, that’s what is known as [Sanctum Purging]. Below, you will find the rules pertaining to [Sanctum Purge].

Rules of a Sanctum Purge Unless otherwise specified by the scenario or the GM, [Sanctum Purging] has the following rules.

All PCs Take Action Together

Because [Sanctum Purging] is a highly dangerous act, participating Godhunters always act in unison. Therefore, unless otherwise instructed by the GM, PCs cannot take separate actions while [Sanctum Purging]

All PCs Participate in [Checks] while [Out of Combat]

The twisting of physical laws that occurs within [Sanctums] is so powerful that unless Godhunters combine their strength, they cannot hope to overcome it. Therefore while [Sanctum Purging], all PCs must participate in any [Check] that occurs [Out of Combat]. Additionally, when a {Main Stat} check occurs while in a [Sanctum], items with [Use: Distortion] may be used.

All PCs Must Consent On Every Choice and Decision

While in a [Sanctum], even a slight misstep drastically reduces the chances of survival. Therefore, Godhunters have no other choice but to act with one mind. That’s just how dangerous [Sanctum Purging] is. For these reasons, which [Area] to move to and when, as well as any choices or decisions that come up as a result of a [Sanctum Event], must all be agreed upon by all PCs. Terms of a Sanctum Purge The following is an explanation of each term used in the rules for [Sanctum Purge].

Sanctum Sheet

A sheet where the PCs’ progress through [Sanctum Purging] is recorded.

Area

Once [Sanctum Purge] begins, session progression changes to special [Scenes] called [Areas]. [Areas] are [Scenes] that divide structures within the [Sanctum] as well as [Sanctum Events] into separate regions. Effects that last for one [Scene] persist so long as PCs remain in the same [Area] in which the effect was used. Various [Sanctum Events] occur within each [Area], prepared ahead of time by the GM. The following types of [Areas] exist:

Entrance Area This [Area] is the entrance to the [Sanctum]. Once the PCs move into the [Entrance Area], the entrance disappears, and until [Sanctum Purge] ends, no PC may declare that they [Withdraw] or are [Backstage].

Search Area This type of [Area] represents each region of the [Sanctum]. By searching this [Area], the PCs progress towards the [Final Area].

Exit Area This [Area] serves as the [Sanctum]’s exit. The PCs are able to leave for the outside of the [Sanctum] from this [Area]. Passage

A path that connects [Areas] is called a [Passage]. PCs cannot declare movement from their current [Area] to another [Area] if no [Passage] exists between them. PCs are limited to moving to [Areas] which have a [Passage] connecting to their current [Area], and are also adjacent to their current [Area]. For example, if the PCs’s current area was [F-4], and they find that [Passage 20] and [Passage 59] were connected to other [Areas], then they would be able to move to either [Area: E-4] or [Area: F-5].

Limit

The passage of time within a [Sanctum], and the time limit until a [Sanctum Crisis] occurs, is generally referred to as the [Limit]. 1 [Limit] has no strict definition of time. If it becomes necessary to know how much time has passed, use a rate of 1 Limit being equal to 10 minutes (or 60 rounds). Once a [Time Action] as written below is taken while in a [Sanctum], the [Limit] is raised by the amount specified. For example, if [Change Areas (1d6)] [Combat (1d6)] and [Long Rest (2d6)] all happen within an [Area], then once the PCs move to the next [Area], the [Scene Player] rolls 4d6, and increases the [Limit] by the amount rolled. Actions other than [Time Actions] do not raise the [Limit].

[Time Action] [Limit] Amount Avoid 1d6 Long Rest 2d6 Change Area 1d6 Reattempt Check 1d6 Combat 1d6 Destroy or Mend Distortion 1d6 GM/Episode Specified Specified # Sanctum Crisis

A [Sanctum] is a space that possesses will, and that will is carried out by spirit energy. Should someone other than the Sanctum’s master, their subordinates, or family be detected, then the Sanctum itself will immediately seek to repel the invaders. In order to repel those invaders, [Sanctums] will cause great disasters known as a [Sanctum Crisis]. Rules for [Sanctum Crisis] are as follows.

[Sanctum Crisis] occurs at the point where the [Limit] value equals or exceeds the maximum designated during [3: Determine [Limit]].

When [Sanctum Crisis] has occurred, each time [8: Progress [Limit]] is reached, the [Scene Player] rolls d66 referencing the [Sanctum Crisis Table], and then applies the effect matching the result to all PCs.

The occurence of [Sanctum Crisis], from now on, continues until the end of [Sanctum Purge] is declared (apply one [Sanctum Crisis Table] event each time [8: Advance [Limit]] is reached.)

Negative effects received from a [Sanctum Crisis] disappear once a [Long Rest] is taken, or once the PCs withdraw from the [Sanctum], or once [Sanctum Purge] is declared over.

[Damage] inflicted by a [Sanctum Crisis] can be reduced via the use of Talents and anything else as normal.

[Sanctum Crisis] may affect even [G], [Materials], and [Items] that have been stored within a «Spirit Barrier».

[Bound Primals] are not affected by [Sanctum Crisis].

Sanctum Events

Combat, obstacles, and situations that occur within each [Area] are all called [Sanctum Events]. For the details of the [Sanctum Event], follow the in- structions of the GM or the scenario. Sanctum Crisis Table (d66)

Space and time twist in the current area. All PCs immediately return to the 11 ~ 12 Space-Time Twist [Entrance Area]. Suddenly, a [Mononoke] that has become a Cursed Soul appears. The GM chooses any one [Mononoke] with a LV +3 over the PC Average Level, and 13 ~ 14 Strong Enemy place them in any [Search Area]. [Combat] occurs here, and cannot be [Avoid- ed]. Innumerable hands formed from miasma attempt to grab the PCs. All PCs take the following: [Effect Class: Magical Attack / Range: Combat Zone / Target: 15 ~ 16 Hands of Shadow Combat Zone / Result: 20 + PC Average Level / Magical Damage: 20 x PC Aver- age Level / Resist [Halves]). Terrifying eyes appear all around the PCs. All PCs take [Shift: Darkness, Pain] 21 ~ 22 Countless Eyes until a [Long Rest]. Suddenly, the very space of the Sanctum collapses. All PCs take the following: 23 ~ 24 Spatial Collapse [Effect Class: Physical Attack / Range: Combat Zone / Target: Combat Zone / Result: 30 + PC Average Level / Physical Damage: 30 x PC Average Level]. An eerie fog envelopes and corrodes armor. All PCs lose one [Item: Protector] 25 ~ 26 Armor Corrosion that they have [Stored or Equipped] of their choice.

Eerie light spills from the surroundings, causing the loss of all stored [Materi- 31 ~ 32 Material Loss als]. All PCs lose all stored [Materials].

33 ~ 34 Nothing Nothing of note happens.

Suddenly, [Mononoke] that have become Cursed Souls appear and attack the 35 ~ 36 Mononoke Assault PCs. The GM chooses any two [Mononoke] with a LV +2 over the PC Average Level, and has them appear before the PCs, immediately starting [Combat]. Whenever the PCs attempt to rest, tentacles or poisonous insects appear and 41 ~ 42 Rest Hindrance harass them. From now on, the PCs may not make a [Long Rest] until the end of [Sanctum Purge] is declared. Space warps as spirit energy surges wildly, causing [Spirit] to go crazy. All PCs 43 ~ 44 Leyline Destruction immediately reroll [Spirit]. Part of the PCs’ bodies goes ashen, and they’re unable to move it. All PCs 45 ~ 46 Localized Time Stop select one from [Timing: Prep, Defense, Unique] and from then on, are unable to spend that [Timing]. Spirit energy suddenly becomes disordered, making the circulation of [Spir- 51 ~ 52 Leyline Irregularity it] sickening. All PCs, from now on, are unable to [Influence] until the end of [Sanctum Purge] is declared. The surrounding air transforms, making those that breathe it sick. All PCs, from now on, are unable to use the Talent they have acquired with the most 53 ~ 54 Technique Seal [Cost] to use, until the end of [Sanctum Purge] is declared. If a PC only has [Cost: None], then the GM may freely decide which one. The surroundings are enveloped in blue light, and mysteriously the PCs lose 55 ~ 56 Accessory Loss their accessories. All PCs lose all of their [Stored, Equipped] [Item: Accesso- ries]. The surroundings are enveloped in blue light, and mysteriously the PCs lose 61 ~ 62 Fool’s Gold Loss their [G]. All PCs [Halve] their [Gold].

63 ~ 64 GM’s Choice The GM may freely pick any one result from this table and apply it.

Two [Sanctum Crises] occur. The GM rolls twice on this table, and applies the 65 ~ 66 Crisis Compound results separately. Should “Crisis Compound” come up again, treat it as “GM’s Choice.” Progression of a Sanctum Purge [Sanctum Purge] progresses according to the following.

1: [Sanctum Purge] Start 2: Form [Bonds] 3: Determine [Limit] 4: Search Each [Area]

1: [Sanctum Purge] Start

[Sanctum Purge] is the [Scenario Story] in traditional scenarios. Scenarios where [Sanctum Purge] happens follow the same order of [Session Prep], [Scenario Introductions], [Scenario End], and [Session End] as normal scenarios do. After [Scenario Introductions], once the GM has declared “[Sanctum Purge] Start”, all PCs enter the [Entrance Area] as designated by the GM or the scenario. The [Scene Player] marks “Entrance” on the [Area] space designated on the [Sanctum Sheet].

2: Form [Bonds]

Perhaps due to being influenced by the immense spirit energy within [Sanctums], Godhunters who participate in [Sanctum Purge] almost without exception enter a state that results in powerful bonds being formed in their {Crest}. For this reason, all PCs, after the GM declares [Sanctum Purge] start, form all [Bonds] on their sheets, in the following manner.

1: One NPC from the NPC Tables 2: One PC (in the order of PC1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 1) 3: Handout Connection 4: The people of your game’s city setting (for example, ‘The People of Hisashiro’) 5: Godhunters 6: Aramitama 7: Any one PC or NPC that is not one of the above 3: Determine [Limit]

Once all the PCs have moved into the [Entrance Area], the GM sets the maximum value of [Limit] until [Sanctum Crisis] begins to occur, following the advice in the GM section. As a general rule, the maximum value is not revealed to PCs.

4: Search Each [Area]

After setting the maximum value of [Limit], until all PCs have achieved their [Goal] as revealed in their [Handout], they will be searching within [Areas]. How to handle this is described in the next section. Searching Each Area Searching [Areas] is handled in the following manner.

1: Arrive in Area 2: Sanctum Event Reveal 3: Choose Confront or Avoid 4: Handle Sanctum Event 5: Determine Long Rest 6: Reveal Passages 7: Change Areas 8: Advance Limit

1: Arrive in Area

The PCs arrive in the [Area] they chose to move to. The GM designates a single [Scene Player] here. If in the [Entrance Area], then the [Scene Player] is always PC1, and afterwards, it rotates in the order of PC2>PC3>(if played, PC4>PC5>)PC1. All PCs other than the [Scene Player] must make an [Appearance Check] each time “1: Arrive in Area” occurs, with [Difficulty: 2]. Regardless of whether this [Check] succeeds or fails, PCs are always able to [Appear] in [Areas]. >However, because of the powerful spirit energy flowing through a [Sanctum] messes with their [Spirit], a PC who [Fumbles] must reroll all of their [Spirit]. This [Check] failure cannot be avoided by using a [Pomander].

2: Sanctum Event Reveal

Unless “Resolved” is checked for the [Area], after the [Appearance Check], a [Sanctum Event] occurs. 3: Choose Confront or Avoid

After reading the contents of the [Sanctum Event], the PCs as a group discuss whether to [Confront] or [Avoid] it.

[Confront]

[Confront] is when the PCs decide to take a [Sanctum Event] head on. To do this, the PCs follow either the episode’s or the GM’s instructions. Note that PCs who have selected to [Confront] are able to perform [Check Assist].

[Check Assist]

Excluding when performing [Sense] or [Mend] for [Distortions], when [Confront] calls for making a {Main Stat} Check while [Out of Combat], ALL PCs must succeed at the [Check]. However, because PCs that are on a [Sanctum Purge] together act together, they may assist each other’s [Checks]. This is called [Check Assist]. After the [Result] of each PC’s [Check] has been calculated, then one time per each individual [Check], each PC may mutually interchange + or - 1~3 of the [Result] of their [Check] (after interchanging, using the effect of «Superhuman Strength» or similar to automatically succeed at the [Check] is permissible).

For example, when making a [Difficulty: 13] [Check], if A has [Result: 16], and B has [Result: 11], A may reduce their [Result] by 3 to increase B’s [Result] by 3.

[Avoid]

[Avoid] is when the PCs ignore a [Sanctum Event] and proceed to the next [Area]. If [Avoid] is declared, then immediately move to perform “6: Reveal Passages.” For example, if it’s possible to declare [Avoid] when a [Sanctum Event] is [Combat], then the PCs leave the [Sanctum Event] as-is, and move on to “6: Reveal Passages.” Note that there will be some cases where, according to the GM or the episode’s instructions, [Avoid] cannot be declared. • 4: Handle Sanctum Event

When the PCs choose to [Confront], they carry out the [Sanctum Event]. Once it’s been handled, place a check mark next to “Resolved” for that [Area] on the [Sanctum Sheet]. [Sanctum Events] do not occur in [Areas] where “Re- solved” is checked off, unless otherwise specified by the GM or the episode. Note that if [Avoid] was declared, no check is placed. After this step, proceed to “5: Determine Long Rest.”

• 5: Determine Long Rest

A [Long Rest] is when the PCs take a thorough rest while on [Sanctum Purge]. After “4: Handle Sanctum Event,” the PCs should discuss and decide whether or not they want to take a [Long Rest]. If they do, declare the intention to the GM, and then the PCs gain all of the following effects. After gaining each of the effects of [Long Rest], or if [Long Rest] was not taken, then proceed to “6: Reveal Passages.”

Long Rest Effects • [Recover] 50 {HP} • Erase all negative effects from [Distortions] and [Sanctum Crisis]. • All PCs may swap up to two [Spirit] dice with one person of their choice. For example, after A swaps [Spirit] with B, B, who has not declared [Spirit] swap yet, may swap [Spirit] dice with A an additional time, or else, after A swaps [Spirit] with B, C, who has not declared [Spirit] swap yet, may swap [Spirit] with B.

• 6: Reveal Passages

The PCs now discover [Passages] from their current [Area] connecting to other [Areas]. The [Scene Player] listens to which [Passages] are connecting, and then fills in those points on the [Sanctum Sheet]. After, the [Areas] that [Passages] connect to the current [Area] may be moved to.

• 7: Change Areas

The PCs designate one [Area] that they can move to, and then declare to the GM that they are moving there. Note that this can include leaving the [Sanctum] if the PCs are in the [Exit Area]. • 8: Advance Limit

Once “7: Change Areas” has been declared, the GM confirms all [Time Actions] that have occured during the past seven steps, and then the [Scene Player] rolls the specified number of dice, adds them up, and advances the [Limit] by the total amount. When making the roll, the [Scene Player] may spend 2 {Crest} in order to change the value of any one of the dice they roll to advance [Limit] to “1”. Afterwards, the PCs move to the designated [Area], and start again from “1: Arrive in Area.”

Regardless of whether the PCs achieve their goals or not, until they have exited the [Sanctum] from the [Exit Area], they continue to repeat steps 1 through 8. Once the PCs have achieved the [Goal] of their [Handout] and ended [Sanctum Purge], the story transititions to [Episode End].

Bound Primal Rules and Details

Bound Primal Rules The following section will explain the rules concerning [Bound Primals].

• A [Bound Primal] that [Appears] via «Contract Summon» [Removes] all [Shifts] including [Dead], sets their {HP} to maximum, and treats all of their X/Combat Talents as being unused.

• If made to [Appear] [In Combat], the [Bound Primal] must be [Installed] [Engaged] to the user. If it cannot [Install] [Engaged] with the user, then it cannot [Appear]).

• When the [Scene] ends, or if the user becomes [Taken Out • Dead], the [Bound Primal] simultaneously [Exits].

• “While the user’s [Bound Primal] is [Appearing],” written in the effect of some [Contractor / Type: B] Style Talents, means either “until either the user’s [Bound Primal] [Exits] or [Dies]”.

• [Bound Primals] gain resistance to sunlight.

• [Bound Primals] can only use Talents once per Scene while [Out of Combat].

• [Bound Primals] cannot be seen by Innocents, and their values are changed as according to “Bound Primal Abilities” below.

[TL Note: For the Purpose of 1/scene abilities, Combat generally counts as a single scene, which means that bound primals have a 1/combat restriction. There are exceptions to this, but they are generally specific to a scenario, and GM approval should be obtained before attempting a second contract summon in a singular combat.]

Bound Primal Ability Changes [Bound Primals] are controlled in the same way as the [Mononoke] they are based on (see the GM Section in the main book). Also, [Bound Primals] are able to perform all [Actions] other than [Action 5, 6, 7, 11].

• Wits Change to [Clever], and they are controlled by the one who uses «Contract Summon».

• Speech Change to [Yes].

• Reaction Change to [Friendly].

• Check & Damage Calculation All [Checks] are performed using {Fixed Values} (do not roll). Only roll dice for calculating [Damage Calculation].

• {Initiative} Change to be the same value as «Contract Summon»’s user. Discuss and decide whether the [Bound Primal] takes their [Turn] before the user or other PCs.

• {HP} When a [Bound Primal] is reduced to 0 or less {HP}, they become [Dead] (in other words, they cannot [Remove] this with [Items] or Talents).

• Timings Once the [Bound Primal] [Appears] in the [Combat Zone], they are able to spend each [Timing] as per normal rules (they may even immediately spend [Start]). However, regardless of any other acquired Talents, a [Bound Primal] always only gains 1x [Timing: Attack]. Finally, as [Rank +X] effects merely increase the [Damage] dice by X amount. When attacking Mononoke with “Halve/Nullify Damage of Rank X or lower” effects, treat the “X” of “Xd6” as Rank.

• Materials & XP Change [Materials] and [XP] to [None], and even if the [Bound Primal] is defeated, no {Crest} is gained.

• Applying Spirit Burn Only the [Physical Transcendence] effect of «Spirit Burn» may be applied to [Bound Primals]. The user of «Contract Summon» is in charge of spending {Crest} in place of the [Bound Primal]. Roll the dice added via [Physical Transcendence]’s effect, and add that amount to the [Bound Primal]’s {Fixed Value} (the PC may not [Influence] these dice). Additional uses for Kushimitama The following section will detail new uses for the sacramental crystals, [Kushimitama]. When the PCs are spending [Kushimitama] during the [Kushimitama Use] step, they may select from the following options in addition to the original options mentioned in the core book.

1: Arms Fusion

[Arms Fusion] is the act of fusing together two Artificial Regalia ([Weapons], that is) when spending a Kushimitama. The [Items] chosen for [Arms Fusion] emit light of every color and sounds that resonate with each other, and then completely crumble into pieces then recombine, fusing together into a more powerful form. When the newly formed [Item] is grasped, its possessor will learn the new God Name and the powers hidden within the Artificial Regalia.

Performing Arms Fusion The PC selects two [Stored • Equipped] [Weapons] with the same [Form]. The [Weapon] that will be used as material is called [Item A], and the [Weapon] that will be strengthened is called [Item B]. Please be aware going forward that [Additional Effects] with the same name, as well as weapon characteristic [Additional Effects] (for example, the “While [Equipped], once per combat when the user makes a [Physical Attack], they gain +1 [Physical Rank]” effect on a [Two-Handed Sword]) cannot be transferred, and cannot be applied through [Arms Fusion].

Example: Let’s say [Arms Fusion] is being performed, using a [Two Handed Sword] with [Blade of Slaying Evil] [Diamond Blade] and [Material Synthesis: Impulse Fragment (PD+1)] already applied as [Item A], and an [Ancient Sword] with [Blade of Slaying Evil] already applied as [Item B].

Outcome: [Item A: Two-Handed Sword] is destroyed, but the [Blade of Slaying Evil] [Diamond Blade] and [Material Synthesis: Impulse Fragment (PD+1)] that were applied to it are now all applied to [Item B]. As a result, apart from [Blade of Slaying Evil] (which it already had), [Diamond Blade] and [Material Synthesis: Impulse Fragment (PD+1)] are now gained by [Item B: Ancient Sword]. Materials Each time [Arms Fusion] is performed, the possessor may choose whether to keep [Materials] applied by [Material Synthesis], or lose them in order to free up space for their [Synthesis Limit].

Sell Value After [Arms Fusion], total up the [Cost] of [Item A], the [Cost] of [Item B], and the [Cost] of each item’s [Additional Effects]. The sell value of the new [Item] is half of that. 2: Origin Awakening

[Origin Awakening] is when one awakens to the memories of the world held within them by spending a Kushimitama, and their skill sets are changed. The one who performs [Origin Awakening] recalls their deeds in a past life, and are able to change one of their current [Styles] to a different [Style].

Performing Origin Awakening The PC changes one of their current [Style/Type] to any one other [Style/Type]. For example, if a PC with [Arc Slayer: A (Main) / Arc Slayer: B] changes their Main to [God Hand: A], they become [God Hand: A (Main) / Arc Slayer: B]. A PC who has their [Styles] changed due to [Origin Awakening], following normal rules, restructures their data. The [Combat Modifiers] of the previous [Style], as well as any Talents that belonged to it, become unacquired, and the data from the new [Style] is applied/reacquired. Please make sure that the Styles/Types don’t overlap. Also, [Stored • Equipped] [Items] do not change.

Use Example GMs should take the following into account when deciding whether or not to allow the use of [Origin Awakening].

• For some reason, the PC wishes to have something happen, like returning to their original form. • Wanting to bring in [Styles] added in new related materials. • Due to the situation, or a PC’s death, it’s necessary for the PCs to adjust their balance. Combo Skill - Rules and Info The following section provides more detail on using «Combo Skill».

When using «Combo Skill», use one [Effect Class: Physical Attack] Talent as the basis ([Effect Class: Use While Active] is also permissible, so long as the [Physical Attack] portion of it is used). Next, use «Combo Skill», then the second Talent, paying its [Cost], then apply its effects.

If combining an effect that doesn’t deal [Physical Damage] with an effect that does, the effect that generates [Physical Damage] takes precedence. When combining effects that increase [Physical Damage] or effects that generate multiple [Weapon Attacks], apply all [Physical Damage] boosts or other effects to the very last [Weapon Attack] made.

Range / Target When making a [Physical Attack] with «Combo Skill», the [Range / Target] of either one of the [Physical Attacks] used may be selected.

Cost Although it’s necessary to pay for each Talent used, [Costs] such as [Doubles] and [5, 5] (or similar) cannot be treated as being the same (each [Cost] must be paid for, respectively). If the Talent used has an effect like «Shadow Bind» applied to it, the [Physical Attack] fails, but «Combo Skill» doesn’t count as used. If «Combo Skill» has an effect like «Ancient Sword Style» applied to it, the [Physical Attack] Talent used as a basis is the only thing that will occur. When complications arise, follow the GM’s ruling.

Example 1: Basis «Smiting Wave» Combo «Heroic Strike» Cost: [E, O (total 2 dice)] Effect: The user gains a +[any one of user’s {Main Stats}] modifier at [Damage Calculation], as well as +1 [Rank]. For [Range], the user may select either [Charge 4 Sq.] or [7 Sq.], whichever they like.

Example 2: Basis «Thunderous Tremor» Combo «Dragonpulse Blade» (Physical Attack) Cost: [E, O, 6, 6] (total 4 dice)] Effect: The user gains a +1 modifier to the result of the {Accuracy} check, as well as +3 [Rank] at [Damage Calculation]. For [Range/Target], if «Dragonpulse Blade»’s data is chosen, then the attack becomes [Range: 5 Sq./Target: Area]. Additional Personality Help Additional [Personality] tables can be found here

[TL Note: The Core Book Raws and PDF don’t actually explain god names, and just give tables. God names are specific names for your personal weapon, to help differentiate them from their technically identical contemporaries, and are made by combining a suffix from table 1 in the core book, and a form of weapon from the appropriate second table in the book. ]

Chapter 3: GM Section GM Section: Special Episode Introductions

Those souls that become [Heroic Spirits], as well as [Divine Souls], which are akin to gods and youkai, are beings disconnected from the ways of humans. As such, the [Episode Introductions] for them should be different from those done for normal PCs. When the GM attempts to create their own episode that contains PC [Heroic Spirits] and [Divine Souls], they should try to keep the fol- lowing examples in mind when creating the [Handouts] and [Episode Introductions] for those characters.

Heroic Spirit Examples

In many cases, [Heroic Spirits] who protect the world are summoned in order to resolve a specific supernatural incident. Therefore, the Goal for a [Heroic Spirit] should be something like, “Fulfill the summoner’s wishes,” “Protect the world,” “Defeat the Aramitama.” For the [Ending], the scene should go something like this: after resolving the incident, the [Heroic Spirit] receives a as payment, then is consumed in pale blue spirit energy light, and disappears, returning to the memories of the world. However if there’s a reason for it (such as when playing a campaign, maybe the true enemy has yet to be defeated, or something like that), then there is nothing wrong with having the [Heroic Spirit] linger in the modern world. Should that be the case, then the GM should freely set and direct the [Ending] as they like, fitting it in with the rest of the episode.

For the [Handout] and [Episode Introduction] of a [Heroic Spirit], consider the following setups.

Being Summoned

A collaborator or a Godhunter you call a friend places their bets on you, and summons you to the modern world. Goal: Fulfill the NPC’s request.

Save the Victim

An NPC involved in a supernatural incident happens upon a relic or book relevant to you (as an example, the NPC’s favorite character in a historical browser game they’re fans of just so happens to be the PC), and that becomes the impetus for you to materialize in the world, save the NPC from their predicament, and from there be involved in the supernatural incident. Goal: Protect the world (or similar). Revived for Revenge

Because the [Boss] appearing in this supernatural incident was once your nemesis, or is a revenant that has become your bitter foe, you materialize to seek revenge, with the goal of striking them down. Goal: Defeat your nemesis.

Already Summoned

Having been summoned previously and already being acclimated to the modern world, every day, as it is your fondest wish to reach the , you hunt down Aramitama. Goal: Defeat the Aramitama.

Divine Soul Examples Examples

Generally, the tochigami, guardian deities, and daiyoukai friendly towards humans that become [Divine Souls] will hear the plea of a human who was a victim of a supernatural incident, and then in order to secure belief in them- selves, the [Divine Soul] will work to resolve that incident. There, the Goal of a [Divine Soul] will most often be something along the lines of, “Fulfill the wishes of your faithful,” “Protect the people,” or “Fulfill your godly duties.” For a [Divine Soul]’s [Ending], the scene should be something like, the human who pleaded for the [Divine Soul]’s intervention in the incident gives their thanks, and peace returns to the city. Ultimately, the GM should set and direct the [Ending] for the [Divine Soul] as they like, according to the needs of the episode.

For the [Handout] and [Episode Introduction] of a [Divine Soul], consider the following setups.

A Wish From the Faithful

Ordinarily, your faithful seek salvation when they are in need or become involved in a supernatural incident somehow. For example, the relative of a person who cleans your shrine every day suddenly goes missing. Goal: Grant the wish of your follower. Connections

A tochigami or a youkai from another region that you’re friends with, or even a Godhunter you like, gets involved with a supernatural incident, and their min- ions or family, or the person themselves, ask you for help or to rescue them. Goal: Save your friend.

Something Unusual in Your Lands

An abnormality arises in the land or leyline you control. You work to eliminate the source of that abnormality and correct it. Goal: Protect your lands. GM Section: Sanctum Purge Episodes

The PCs will take on a [Sanctum Purge] for a variety of reasons. The follow- ing will give advice on the creation of [Sanctum Episodes], episodes which are exclusively [Sanctum Purges].

(More Info: Regarding the Number of Sanctum Purges in a Campaign): The following section has details regarding [Sanctum Purge] episodes. However, when playing a campaign, it’s good to limit [Sanctum Purge] episodes to 2 or 3 per campaign, so as not to strengthen the PCs’ [Weapons] more than is necessary.

The Shape of Sanctum Episodes

Sanctum Episodes look like the following. For examples of each of the following items, please refer to the [Sample Sanctum Episode] later in this book.

Handout

The GM creates a single [Handout], shared across the entire party. The GM may also decide to create individual [Handouts] for a [Sanctum Episode], if they want.

Info, Episode Outline, Episode Setting, PC Creation

In a [Sanctum Episode], there does not need to be any [Info] (however there’s nothing wrong with having some). Episode Outline, Episode Setting, and PC Creation are the same as a normal episode.

Truth, Appearing NPCs

The Episode Setting will serve as the Truth, so a separate Truth is not necessary. Appearing NPCs is the same as a normal episode.

Episode Introductions

If the [Handout] is shared across the entire party, then the [Episode Introduc- tion] should also be shared. Sanctum Map

Set up a [Sanctum Map] for the PCs to challenge. The GM decides the number of [Areas] and the Maximum Limit (both mentioned below). Then, they write down which [Areas] are connected to other [Areas] via which [Passages], and whether any [Sanctum Events] will occur. Though in general there should be one [Sanctum Event] per [Area], the GM may add additional events, or even have events occur in an Area after it has already been searched, as meets the needs of the episode. Also, the GM may use the [General Sanctum Events] found later in this book, or create their own original events.

Ending

The [Ending] is also shared across the entire party.

Progression Of Sanctum Purge The GM progresses [Sanctum Purge] according to the rules found earlier in this book.

Understanding Sanctum Purge

First, the GM should have a certain degree of understanding of the rules for [Sanctum Purge]. After that, if possible, it’s recommended to play through the Sample Sanctum Episode at the end of this book, in order to get an understanding of what it’s like to progress the session.

Dedicated Sanctum Purge Episode

When creating a Sanctum Episode, it’s fine to make it so that its entire focus is on the [Sanctum Purge] itself. In normal episodes there are individual [Handouts] and [Episode Introductions], but as the [Handout] is shared in a Sanctum Episode, only a single [Episode Introduction] takes place. For an example of this, please refer to the “Sample Sanctum Episode” at the end of the book.

An NPC making a polite request of the PCs is a good trick to use when making this shared [Episode Introduction]. No matter their reason, an NPC acting rude or high-handed when asking something of the PCs can make the players feel agitated, which might lead to them refusing the request. Therefore, try to have the NPCs give reasons such as, they trust the PCs, or feel a strong friendship with them, or are relying on them for help. For the shared [Handout] and [Episode Introduction] of a Sanctum Episode, consider the following setups.

The PCs get a request from an old friend

The PCs get a call from an old friend- whether a tochigami, youkai, Godhunter, or collaborator- informing them of an urgent situation, and are asked to undertake a [Sanctum Purge].

An alliance of factions

A [Sanctum] has been proven to be the cause of a supernatural incident, and several factions join together to collaborate against it, forming a team com- prised of several ace Godhunters- who are of course the PCs, who then under- take the [Sanctum Purge].

PCs band together

The PCs, already being friends, search for a [Sanctum Purge] request in order to strengthen their Artificial Regalia, and then undertake it. These requests typical- ly take the form of the client being a tochigami who had their [Sanctum] stolen by an Aramitama, or a collaborator or Godhunter who has pinned down an evil Mononoke in their lair.

Number Of Areas When creating a Sanctum Episode, the number of [Areas] for the [Sanctum Map] is decided in advance. A minimum of six [Areas] and a maximum of 8 is suggested. If any player is inexperienced with the game, stick to having only six [Areas] for the [Sanctum Map].

Also, make certain there is an [Entrance Area], a [Exit Area], and a [Final Area]. Maximum Limit The maximum [Limit] until [Sanctum Crisis] occurs is determined from the number of [Areas] chosen. If this is the players’ first attempt at a Sanctum, it’s adviseable to set the difficulty at “Easy.” (These are calculated from having 6 [Areas]).

Make certain NOT to disclose the maximum [Limit] to PCs.

(Difficulty - Maximum) Easy 45 Normal 40 Hard 35

Calculating Maximum If the GM is creating a [Sanctum Map] for an original Sanctum episode, calculate the maximum [Limit] in the following manner.

• Each [Area] x 5 • Each [Distortion] x 4 • Each [Sanctum Event: Combat] x 3 • Any modifiers the GM decides on

(For example, if you have a Sanctum with 6 Areas, two Distortions, and two Combats, then the maximum Limit would be 44. Note that the above ‘difficulties’ are set for the Sample Sanctum Episode. If you want to make it easier on your players, increase the maximum Limit you just calculated by around 5. If you want to make it more difficult, decrease it by 5 instead.) Rewards When the PCs undertake a [Sanctum Purge] request, there are cases where they will receive compensation from the client. The GM should prepare a reward as follows, according to who the client is, and then give it to the PCs. The GM may give any kind of reward, the following is just a guideline. For example, an event item the GM creates themselves, or a particular rare [Material] (the effect of which is determined as per the random charts in the base book).

Reward Guidelines

Godhunters & Collaborators

If the client is a Godhunter or collaborator, then the reward typically comes in the form of . PCs are paid in the following fashion according to the average [World Influence LV] of the group, with each PC receiving the listed amount.

World Influence Level Advance On Success 1~2 300G 1000G 3~4 500G 1500G 5~6 1000G 2000G 7~8 1500G 3000G 9+ 2000G 4000G Mononoke & Tochigami

If the client is a Mononoke or tochigami, then the reward typically comes in the form of multiple [Materials] called . PCs are given [Materials] in the following fashion according to the average [World Influ- ence LV] of the group, with each PC receiving the listed amount. Note that all of these [Materials] have [Effect: None].

World Influence Level Advance On Success 1~2 (Potency 1) x 1 (Potency 2) x 1 3~4 (Potency 1) x 1 (Potency 2) x 2 5~6 (Potency 1) x 2 (Potency 2) x 2 7~8 (Potency 1) x 2 (Potency 3) x 2 9+ (Potency 1) x 3 (Potency 3) x 2 GM Section: General Sanctum Events Reading a Sanctum Event [General Sanctum Events] can be found starting on the next page. Before that is an explanation on how to read the fields of [General Sanctum Events].

Number - “Title”

The number and title of a General Sanctum Event so that GMs can note them down for their original episodes. This is the only field that is not told to the players.

Narration

The narration of the [Sanctum Event]. Read this field aloud to the PCs, then after that the contents of the [Avoid] and [Confront] fields (as well as the Check Success and Check Failure fields), allow the PCs to decide what to do.

[Avoid]

This notes whether or not the [Sanctum Event] may be avoided.

[Confront]

This notes the action or [Maneuver] that should be done if the PCs choose to [Confront] the [Sanctum Event]. Make sure to tell the PCs that they are allowed to use [Use: Distortion] [Items] for the check. Check Success & Check Failure GM Section: General Sanctum Events This notes the effect that occurs when the [Check] for the [Sanctum Event] either fails or succeeds. Each effect occurs to the targets listed on the following table. Note that in this case, when the [Scene Player] rolls on the [Acquire Material Chart], that EACH PC in the party gains one of that [Material]. For example, if [Material: PD+2 (Value: 1,000G)] is rolled, then a number of that [Material] equal to the number of PCs is obtained.

Sanctum Event List

#1 - Vortex of Miasma

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], a dreary, barren place. As you look, the area slowly becomes shrouded in an eerie fog. It proves to be no ordinary fog, however, but rather a thing which transforms stagnant spirit energy into a cursed poison- in other words, a miasma! Breathing it in will at best bring a world of pain. All you can do is hold your breath, shroud yourself in spirit energy, and charge on through! [Confront]: [Difficulty: 15] {Strength} or [Avoid]: No [Maneuver: Fortitude]

Check Success → No Effect Check Failure → Lose 3d6 {HP} #2 - Submerged Area

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], a place that looks as though it is unnaturally submerged in water. A strong glow of etherlight emits from the water’s surface. However, it seems as though the path out of here is underwater. It seems the only way forward is to dive down.

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 13] {Strength} or [Avoid]: No [Maneuver: Swimming]

Check Success → No Effect Check Failure → Lose 1d6 {HP}

#3 - Aim High

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], a strange place where tall structures crowd together. While making your way across with a careful eye on your surroundings, suddenly, you feel a slight spiritual power. Apparently, something is at the very top of these structures.

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 14] {Strength} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Climb] Check Success → Roll once on the [Acquire Material Chart], and gain Check Failure → Lose 3d6 {HP} that [Material]. #4 - The True Path

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], an eerie place where the walls are covered in strange patterns. As you look, a path seems to come to a dead end. A sinister feeling wafts off the patterns on the walls there... What will you do? Will you search around?

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 16] {Strength} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Assess] Check Success → Reduce the current Check Failure → Lose 2d6 {Crest} [Limit] by 2d6 (to a minimum of 0)

#5 - Tracks Found

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], which resembles a desert covered in white sands. When you take a good look around, you find a strange set of tracks winding through the sands. However, from where the tracks lead, you can feel a powerful spiritual pressure. What could be over there? Will you try to follow the tracks, or something else?

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 13] {Agility} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Tracking] Check Success → Gain 1x Check Failure → Lose 2x [Consumables] [Rejuvenating Water] #6 - The Bound Door

#7 - Silent Kill

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], a place that brings to mind the interior of a spacious mansion, and continue on towards a path like a wide corridor.

Check Success → Recover 1d6 {Crest} Check Failure → Lose 2d6 {HP} #8 - Crumbling Grounds

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], a place like a bridge made of massive stones. As you examine it, you see that the stone bridge is cracked here and there, and has a fragile appearance. If you were to move over it, you could make it across by leaping over any crumbling portions... right?

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 13] {Agility} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Acrobatics] Check Success → Change two [Spirit] Check Failure → Lose 10 {HP} dice to any value.

#9 - Demonic Night Parade

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], which is a wide but singular road, blocked on the left and the right by massive walls. As you travel down it, an assembly of creatures drifts into view further up the road. As you peer at what’s coming, you find it to be a vast horde of Cursed Souls! If you can hide yourself, or disguise your own form, you should be able to pass by without being noticed... probably.

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 12] {Intellect} or [Avoid]: No [Maneuver: Disguise]

Check Success → No Effect Check Failure → Lose 1d6 {Crest} and {HP} #10 - Strange Device

Check Success → Recover 1d6 {Crest} Check Failure → Lose 1d6 {Crest}

#11 - Treasure Awaits

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], a haphazard place with junk piled all around. Following the path through the junk, you find that some of it seems as though they were once rare items infused with spirit energy. There might be some things left that could be put to use. Will you try searching?

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 16] {Intellect} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Appraise] Check Success → Gain 1x [Accessory] Check Failure → Lose 10 {HP} of [Cost: 500G] or lower #12 - Symbol Comprehension

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], a place that gives off a mysterious air, where large stones carved all over with strange symbols jut out of the ground. If you were able to comprehend the symbols, you could perhaps trigger some kind of reaction. So will you try to figure them out?

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 14] {Intellect} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Identify] Check Success → Gain [World Check Failure → Lose [World Influence LV (Max 5)]d6 x 50 [G] Influence LV (Max 5)]d6 x 50 [G]

#13 - Elder Beast

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], a dense forest filled with pure spirit energy that is nothing like that of a Cursed Soul. In the depths of that forest appears a mystical spirit beast with a magnificent horn. Somehow or another, it seems as though you’ve met with a tochigami. Will you try to ingratiate yourself with it, and hear its story?

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 17] {Will} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Etiquette]

Check Success → Recover 2d6 {Crest} Check Failure → Lose 2d6 {Crest} #14 - A God’s Blessing

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], which seems to be on the premises of an uncommonly beautiful, large shrine. Within the hall of worship appears a being bathed in a golden light.

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 13] {Will} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Negotiation] Check Success → Able to buy and sell Check Failure → No Effect [Items]

#15 - The Masses

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], which seems like a large cavern that is protected by a pure barrier. As you head further in, you find a large number of good Mononoke. As they haven’t become Cursed Souls, it would be better to take charge and explain the situation, for now.

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 11] {Will} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Command] Check Success → Roll once on the Check Failure → At the [Final Battle], add [Acquire Material Chart], and gain one [Mononoke] 1-2 levels below the PC’s that [Material] [World Influence LV] average. #16 - Moody Primal

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], which resembles a magnificent shrine filled with pure spirit energy that is nothing like that of a Cursed Soul. At the center of that shrine appears a mystic spirit beast with a jeweled eye. Somehow or another, it seems as though you’ve met with a tochigami. However, the tochigami’s mood seems rather sour, due to some incident.

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 16] {Will} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Charm]

Check Success → Recover 30 {HP} Check Failure → Lose 10 {HP}

#17 - Found A Clue

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], and find a massive corridor big enough that it feels as though a giant could pass through it unhindered. As you start forward, suddenly, a strange feeling of unease washes over you. It seems as though you are caught up in something strange. It doesn’t seem as though there’s anything here, but just in case, will you search around? Or will you hurry onwards?

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 16] {Luck} or [Ma- [Avoid]: Yes neuver: Spot] Check Success → Reduce current Check Failure → Increase [Limit] by 2d6 [Limit] by 2d6 (to a minimum of 0) #18 - Distortion

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], and a rather beautiful landscape spreads out before you. It could only be one of the places that reside deep in the Nushi that created this [Sanctum]’s heart. It doesn’t seem as though there’s anything here, but just in case, will you search around? Or will you hurry onwards?

[Avoid]: Yes

Perform [Sense] for the [Distortion] the GM has prepared ahead of time, and then resolve either [Mend] or [Destroy] (as per the base book rules).

#19 - Small Voices

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], which looks like the roof of a palace or large mansion. As you quietly make your way through to the next path, are able to hear voices coming from below your feet. It seems as though some Cursed Souls are communicating. Will you try to listen in?

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 15] {Luck} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Eavesdrop] Check Success → Reduce current Check Failure → Increase [Limit] by 1d6 [Limit] by 1d6 (to a minimum of 0) #20 - Dimensional Road

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], where a single, eerie road winds its way through a strange landscape. It appears as though it is a path that passes through another dimension. What will you do? Will you follow the path?

[Confront]: [Difficulty: 15] {Luck} or [Avoid]: Yes [Maneuver: Intuition] Check Success → Reduce current Check Failure → Lose 2d6 {Crest} [Limit] by 2d6 (to a minimum of 0)

#21 - Battle

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], which proves to be an excessively wide space. Sensing something in the center of the area, you hide and take a look. When you do, you find what seem to be hostile beings. Will you fight them here? Or will you try to sneak around?

[Avoid]: Yes [Confront]: [Combat] with [NPCs] the GM designates. The players [Install] their PCs into any of the following squares: A6, A7, A8, B6, B7, B8. The GM [Installs] their designated NPCs into any square.

Check Success → No Effect Check Failure → The session ends #22 - Final Battle

Narration - You arrive in the [Area], and within the hateful nemesis you all have been pursuing this whole time lies in wait. Taking your Regalia in hand, your body erupting with spirit energy... is now the time to fight the final battle?

[Avoid]: Yes [Confront]: [Combat] with [NPCs] the GM designates. The players [Install] their PCs into any of the following squares: A6, A7, A8, B6, B7, B8. The GM [Installs] their designated NPCs into any square. Check Success → [Sanctum Purge] Check Failure → The session ends ends, and then the episode ends

(TL Note: For the purposes of Battle and Final Battle, You don’t necessarily need to have a hard coded grid. Instead, simply set up a simple battle map ahead of time, with the players characters having a specific 2x3 box they can start in.)

(TL Note 2: Sanctum Events are supposed to be rapidfire. They require everyone to help, but the checks themselves are generally low enough that even a godhunter with a 1 in the stat has a chance to make them, without any aid. If your players are worried or complain about how all of them need to make a check, inform them of this, and that distortion items such as the Psychic Camera also apply to their checks within a sanctum. Other bonus’ include cover bonus’, Gear bonus’, Talent bonus’, and many more. On top of this, PC’s that pass the checks are allowed to aid ones that failed by giving 1 to 3 points from their result to another player, except in the case of a distortion which works as normal. There is very little danger of failing a sanctum check for a properly prepared party, and as such they can proceed with some level of ease.) GM Section: Boss Talents

Information 1

PC1’s best friend is called Kaya. They always met at a Dosojin, and played together until the sun set. However, the Dosojin’s location has been lost due to an unknown influence. PC1 is still a friend of Kaya.

Information 2 At present, there are abnormalities within the ley lines of Hisashiro City. As a result, many spirit bodies have appeared and incidents occurred where people were deprived of their souls. The location of the ley lines can be uncovered by examining the old library of the Demon Hunter’s Society, part of the Mitsurugi Mansion.

Information 3

According to the old lady, her granddaughter went missing on the way home from school near the ruins of the Hisashiro clock tower. The granddaughter’s bag was found near the site. It would be best to examine the ruins if the opportunity presents itself.

Information 4 In Hisashiro City, people have gone missing everywhere, and spirit bodies are frequently discovered. Additionally, there is an abnormal situation occurring within some ley lines, and each organization is becoming hectic. In this supernatural incident, the girl who claims to be Kaya must be the mastermind. Kaya appears to have fled using [Distortion: Dimension Door].

Information 5 The cause of the supernatural incidents and abnormal ley lines is an Aramitama. It is known as “White Fang”. Along with another Aramitama known as “Black Fang”, they excel at draining spirit power from tochigami. “Black Fang” has nothing to do with this case. “White Fang” has the ability to steal a target’s form and memory by confining the victim to another dimension, keeping them alive, and exploiting it to devour souls. Information 6 As a result of investigating, there appears to exist a powerful ley line at the foot of the Hisashiro mountains. There is a shrine there, once called Hisa Shrine. However, at the moment, its location cannot be specified due to a lack of information, as well as an unknown influence. More information can be found by hitting the Mitsurugi Manor or Reference Archive.

Information 7

Hisa Shrine was once located at the foot of the Hisashiro mountains. However, Hisa Shrine was destroyed by air raids during the war. Afterwards the shrine was not rebuilt, only a small Dosojin built on the site. After confirming this information, PC1 and PC3 remember this place.

Information 8 Enshrined at Hisa Shrine is a tochigami with the name of Hisa no Kaya-Hime. It was one of the sacred gods, the guardians of the border, who protected Hisashiro, and was also enshrined as a fertility god that controlled the vitality of flowers. However, the loss of the shrine destroyed its faith and it has been forgotten, and lost its power as a divine spirit. Scenario Overview

A spiritual incident in Hisashiro City. A girl who appears and disappears in the shadow of incidents. Stained in red, a longing for the old days. ”We’ll always be friends.” That is the last bond that ties the girl to the world. The divine words that saved the soul of a god. Legendary Arms RPG Kamigakari - “Requiem of the God Soul.”

Scenario Background

In Hisashiro, a supernatural incident has occurred in which people are vanishing. In the backdrop of the incident, a girl called “Kaya” appears and disappears.

As the PCs proceed with the investigation, Kaya’s identity is revealed to be one of the old land gods, “Hisa no Kaya-Hime”. It is discovered that the incident was caused by the Aramitama “White Fang” (referred to as Fake Kaya), who stole Kaya’s memory and appearance.

Kaya has been forgotten by the people, and been lonely for a long time. Taking advantage of her heart, the Aramitama “White Fang” captures her within a [Distortion] and steals her Ley Line.

“White Fang”, who stole her figure and memory, used her Ley Line to manipulate mononoke and steal souls from Innocents.

The Scenario ends after the defeat of “White Fang”. PC Creation

This scenario is intended to be played with 3-5 PCs at [World Level: 1]. When using sample PCs, use the following selections:

PC1: God’s Confidant (p35 “Requiem for the God Soul”) PC2: Giantslayer Hero (p34 “Requiem for the God Soul”) PC3: Hisashiro’s Tochigami (p37 “Requiem for the God Soul”) PC4: Servant of Shadows (p50 “Core Book”) PC5: Destroyer Swordsman (p48 “Core Book”)

Handout

The GM must copy each separate [Handout] and [Information] described in this scenario in advance. The GM should read the entire [Handout] or distribute it to players in advance. After confirming [Information], a PC who is [Appearing] can share the contents if the conditions are met or the GM gives permission.

Truth

The Kaya who created the conflict is not “Hisa no Kaya-Hime”, but the Aramitama “White Fang”. Kaya, the “Hisa no Kaya-Hime” who PC1 made a promise with, was forgotten by the people after losing her shrine. However, because PC1 remembered the promise and did not forget her existence, she has avoided disappearing. Because of this, she became a “land god who controls a ley line while losing her spirit power”. The Aramitama “White Fang” discovers her ley line, with the words “I can reunite you with PC1”, tricks her into confinement and steals her ley line (this is not a Contract of Souls). “White Fang”, who stole her appearance and memories, manipulates mononoke by controlling the leyline, using them to collect and devour the souls of the people. “White Fang” locks Kaya inside its spirit barrier. The party must defeat “White Fang” to release her. Appearing NPCs

Mephisto Pheles (TL note: Appears in the pre-scenario and post-battle scenes. Her original dialogue involves the word “Danna” Which has a few meanings, but is hard to translate directly into a single word. Instead we had her use “My dear” in the derogatory sarcastic man- ner that demons tend to, as this is the closest to the original intention) Kamigakari Sample Scenario - Introduction

Scene 1: Promise From the Old Days

Scene PC: PC1 Event: Information Gathering

Kaya: “So that’s it… PC1 will be moving.” Kaya: “But if PC1 leaves, Kaya will…” Kaya: “Ah, um, I have a request… No matter how far it is, I want you to still be my friend.” Kaya: (Promised) “...Really? That’s great!” Kaya: “So, promise? Don’t forget Kaya!”

Evil spirits surround Ryouko with murderous intent. Your summoner’s life is now in danger. (Here, PC2 performs a [TN: 15] [Active Check]).

Narration 2 The battle lasted an instant. Ryouko looks even more amazed when she sees your ability to instantly destroy the mononoke. Like that, the Hiryuu Hall was covered in the stillness of night.

All over the city, spirits have been rampag- ing.” (Here, pass [Information 2]).

Fake Kaya: “I am Kaya.” Fake Kaya: “Hey… Do you want to play with me next?” (Fake Kaya attacks, snapping a utility pole behind PC4 like a twig. Afterwards, PC4 makes a [Reactive Check]. Regardless of the outcome, PC4 and Fake Kaya fight a supernatural battle).

Fake Kaya: “Ah. Onii-chan (or Onee-chan), you’re very strong.” Fake Kaya: “...It looks like I can’t kill you just yet.” Fake Kaya: “Then, I’ll collect more souls so we can play again.” (Fake Kaya disappears due to the effect of [Dimension Door]).

Defeat Black Fang, and regain the ley line!” Hisashiro-Nushi: “By recovering the ley line, we can revive my kin who were turned into Cursed Souls!”

Narration 3 As she talked, Hirashiro-Nushi shed tears. To have survived by herself, she feels a deep sense of shame.

Hisashiro-Nushi: “I don’t expect you to do it for free.” Hisashiro-Nushi: “I’m sorry, but this is the best treasure I can offer at the moment.” [Give Reward «Treasure». See (p97 Requiem).] Hisashiro-Nushi: “When you have defeated the [Sanctum], I will give you whatever I have left in my sanctuary.” Hisashiro-Nushi: “Please… Please help us.”
