In order to apply to answer a prayer, you must first meet the prerequisites for the prayer. The requirements listed are what you need to do, both IC and OOC, in order for the prayer to be considered answered.
No Longer Valid as of June 21st 2018: Any reward in
blue is for gods and rewards in
orange are for shinki. Please note that all expiration dates refer to
In Character dates. Refer to the
calendar if you are uncertain of dates.
Pre-Reqs and Results
For some general Prayer questions including how to answer prayers with only a Soulless shinki, here is the
Prayers FAQ link. Write-up responses (with or without a Soulless shinki) to Prayers and Missions can be made directly to the prayer thread in a comment, or emailed to the mod account with the Prayer/Mission number in the subject line.
- Minimum follower and exp count requirements for Prayers and Missions use the Total points
- Comment counts must be met by characters going on the prayer or mission, i.e. the ones mentioned in the comment request for a prayer. Whether it's an NPC joining the thread or another PC character swooping in for a comment or two, none of those comments count towards the minimum required to turn in the prayer.
- When the Pre-Req is a previous Prayer or Mission, you may respond to the same thread on this page to keep all of the comments in the same chain together. Alternatively, you may reply to the mod post and link back to the previous thread in which the pre-req was approved.
- You may not request a Prayer or Mission and its Pre-Req at the same time. The Pre-Req must be approved before requesting the follow-up Prayer or Mission.
- Only one participating character must fulfill the pre-requisite requirements. This means that a god with few followers paired with an experienced shinki, or vice versa a newer shinki paired with an older god, can still take on prayers or missions with a high pre-req follower/exp minimum.
- When the reward is an item, you may write in your request for the item and the mods will approve it at any point in the prayer/mission thread - either in the initial request or when the reward comment is posted. Alternately, players may simply request that the mods choose their item for them at random - please also put this in a comment to the prayer/mission thread, again at any point.
- When the reward is a discount on a Regain, only one discount may be applied per Regain. For example, two discounts could be applied to two different Extra Power Regains, or 1 Extra Power and 1 Private Meeting, etc. The different Regains can be included in one comment or multiple.
- For Missions: Additionally, some of these threads may sound open-ended in their results. That's because when you respond with your thread linked, we will be reading it and then responding with what you find! For NPC interactions (ayakashi or gods), we will expect a link earlier so that the thread can be handed off. The Missions where this is expected can be specially annotated, but at bare minimum the Mission Accepted response will prompt for when we need the thread response comment.
When you have completed the OOC and IC requirements for the prayer, you should reply to the comment where you claimed the prayer with a link to the thread where all requirements are met. OOC would be the number of comments and IC would be the goals of the thread, like comfort someone or destroy an ayakashi. IC requirements can be "met" if the thread has hit "forward momentum", i.e. it's an inevitable conclusion that the IC requirement will actually happen. For example: an ayakashi can count as "defeated" if the battle is underway and a bonded god-shinki pair is available to cast Rend. OOC pre-reqs and comment reqs are stricter; pre-requisite threads and minimum follower/exp counts** must be met prior to requesting the prayer/mission, then comment totals must be met during the prayer/mission.
Once the prayer is approved by a response from the mod account, the rewards will be granted to your character instantly, meaning they are added to your Follower/Exp Total and Available counts. **So this means that follower/exp minimum Total counts can be met based on the last updated totals from the
Monthly Tag Counts plus any prayers/missions completed in the interim timeframe.
Each character may take up to
THREE prayer or missions at any given time. Once you have fulfilled one of those prayers or missions, you may take on another one.
A maximum of
FIVE played characters (so not including soulless shinki) can request any given prayer or mission. In order to get credit for any prayer or mission they participate in, any one character must have made at least 3 comments to the thread regardless of comment requirements. For example, 5 characters request a prayer only requiring 10 comments. If they turn the prayer in at 10 comments, only some of the characters - the ones that made 3 comments - will get credit for the prayer, so it'd be better to wait until at least 15 comments, or 3 comments per 5 characters.
Mod Roll Note: For prayers requiring a mod d20 roll, the number you need to be rolled is listed (ie "6+" would mean you'd have to roll a 6 or higher). If you would prefer to automatically fail (for development reasons or otherwise), please note so in your comment. Any roll failures will not count towards completing the prayer, but you will not be deducted followers/exp for failing.
Slots, Charms, and Failed Rolls
The Slots that a character currently has available can be seen on
the Slots tab, or on
the full google document which includes additional information:
- The format of the Slots list is "Page # @ Prayer/Mission #"
Page # refers to this entry's pages. Prayer/Mission # refers to those on the Prayers & Missions tabs.
So "14 @ M05" means Page 14 is where the comment can be found, then searched by character name(s), then looking for the comment for Mission 05.
- Characters in the same group for a Prayers/Mission request will all have the same format, but it may be in different slots. For instance, Character A may have "14 @ M05" in Slot 1, but Character B may have "14 @ M05" in Slot 2 if their Slot 1 was already filled at the time of the request.
- Charms have occasionally been rewards for Prayers/Missions. So far, all of them have the same function: when a mod roll results in a failure, the Charm can be invoked (single use) and the Prayer/Mission can proceed as if the mod roll was a success.
- Failed rolls are documented in the final column.
Characters can re-attempt the Prayers/Missions that were failed, just not with the exact same group; at least one additional character must be added / swapped into the group to justify a new attempt.

Ginia and Shun will be able to visit a number of cultists' homes in order to investigate their activities.
In the homes of Mitsui Ryou, Shimoda Tsuki, Oota Saburo, and Maeda Shinnosuke, the duo will be able to find some relevant objects that will provide clues - clothing, printed evidence, and psuedo-religious iconography. Searching the homes or approaching the cultists themselves will earn more specific clues.
The home of Imai Takeru, or "Sensei," will require a careful approach. It is protected by spells that make it difficult to notice, and Imai Takeru will be alerted upon the entry of a Far Shore resident into his home.
15 exp per above
300 followers for successful entry into Sensei's home
30 exp as above
Plot Information
Please respond here when you have begun the task requested of you with a link to it, and a mod will watch the thread to provide clues in an ongoing manner if CLUE REQUEST is added to a comment's subject line. Additionally, once they have successfully entered Imai Takeru's home, they will receive formal NPC comments once NPC REQUEST is added to a comment's subject line.
*Each player may choose the kind of object for their reward, although it should be the kind of item that could be found in one of the homes during the mission and will be mod-approved in this thread. You may provide 2 or 3 options if you are concerned that it wouldn't be approved.

On the current thread for surveying Sensei's home, there's a clue request for anything Ginia and Shun might notice as they send in a spycamera (technology based) to survey.
Presumably they'll notice the stars engraved on the doorposts of the gate as they investigate. The tentative plan for entry is having Ginia shoot the stars with her gun to see if it disrupts the field. We would like more information so we can do a write-up of how things would have gone.
