    [X] We Shall PIERCE The Heavens!
    - [X] By your will, you shall grant this Exigent a personal ray of light, invisible to all but spirits who will look upon them with your favor. (+10 Bonus to Talk)
    - [X] Exigent's Name: Kaun/Kazun "Steel-Soul" Kayam
    - [X] Exigent's Appearance: In public, large black cloak, blue hair that goes over their eyes, hunches over to seem smaller, in private, or when really energetic, or when really pissed off, their robe comes off and they're shirtless, tan, well-built, spiky blue hair, colourful pants that look liked they got the dyes literally thrown at it, and piercings holding sacred charms representing each Compeer, alongside a constant cocky grin
    - [X] Exigent's Anima Banner: A bunch of diffrent piercings with the metal plates hanging off them, each depicting a different person raising their fist in defiance, when at their most powerful the Exigent's banner unites to form the image a group of people rallied together
 
(Temporary) Kaun Die Rolls New
Alright, I took a (not-so) quick nap in order to rejuvenate myself, so here we go with the rolls!

For our charm themes we have:
Charm Themes:
  • Scarred Endurance: Elevates the Exalts pain threshold, allowing them to take more punishment. (Granted from Patron)(Reduce the threshold for triggering Recovery for Fight Events by 10, to a minimum of 1.)
  • Piercings: Imbue the body with studs that provide different benefits. (Granted from Patron)(+10 to rolls involving piercings)
  • Hidden Face: Hide one's mysteries to avoid their discovery by the unworthy. (Granted from Situation)(+10 to Talk Events)
  • Uprising: Grants the Exalt skill in recruiting and empowering others against a Tyrant. (Granted from Situation)(+10 to Lead Events)

For our events, we start out with the mandated Lead event. Our Chosen of Piercings is going to organize resistance against House Pelep's tyrannical ruling of Kumul.

Event 1: Lead
Roll Bonuses: +40 = +20 Main, +10 Gift, +10 Uprising
Roll Result: 14 + 40 = 54, The rebellion is only able to get support from their Lodge initially for this rebellion, limiting operations at first.

For the second event, the mandated Fight event, Kaun will need to fight off an Exalted assassin sent by House Sesus as a favor for House Peleps, hoping to head off the small rebellion before it becomes a problem. The Exigent will have found by this point a gift left by his patron in the form of minor artifact piercings which provide a combat boost, allowing me to add the bonus to his fight roll. In addition, thanks to Scarred Endurance, only a Natural 1 will trigger recovery for this event.

Event 2: Fight
Roll Bonuses: +20 = +10 Gift, +10 Piercings
Roll Result: 67 + 20 = 87, The assassin is fought off and crippled at no harm to Kaun, though they are not slain. Still, they won't be coming back any time soon to cause problems.

Next is our 3rd event, a Talk event. Kaun, knowing that he will need more allies soon in order to solidify his position and his movement, tries to get into contact with the Lunars of the Silver Pact in order to secure their alliance. In exchange for this help, Kaun will create piercings for their use (again, this is an excuse for me to add the bonus here).

Event 3: Talk
Roll Bonuses: +30 = +10 Gift, +10 Hidden Face, +10 Piercings
Roll Result: 94 + 30 = 124. Negotiations go amazing, apparently the Exigent's crafted piercings are very compatible with Lunar charms, providing an incentive for the Silver Pact to coordinate with the rebellion and lend Exalted assistance.

Now we get to the bonus events. As before, I won't go into heavy details with these, but I do have bonuses for them picked out ahead of time. You'll see what happens once I publish the story post.

Event 4 (Bonus): Make
Roll Bonuses: +10 = +10 Piercings
Roll Result: 81 + 10 = 91

Event 5 (Bonus): Lead
Roll Bonuses: +50 = +20 Main Bonus, +10 Gift, +10 Uprising, +10 Piercings
Roll Result: 87 + 50 = 137

Event 6 (Bonus): Sneak
Roll Bonuses: +10 = +10 Elder
Roll Result: 19 + 10 = 29
Event 6 Recovery: 89, Consumes an Event, next event will have double the threshold increase

Event 7 (Bonus): Lead
Roll Bonuses: +70 = +20 Main Bonus, +10 Gift, +10 Uprising, +10 Piercings, +20 Elder
Roll Result: 1 + 70 = 71
Event 7 Recovery: 7, failure, Kaun's journey ends here.

Man, that Natural 1 really shut down those massive bonuses there. If I had to guess, Kaun might have gone genuinely senile by the time that Event took place. Hard to remember faces, information, etc. Still, besides that and the Sneak event, Kaun did quite well. We'll see how this takes shape with the story post, so stay tuned!

Wow, they did some serious Work there despite operating on what seemed like a bottom of the barrel Terrestrial chassis.
