Onmyodo Story Part 4: When a Flaming Sword Isn't Helping

Where I run through a step-by-step session of the Onmyodo card game, revealing the story-like action as it unfolds....

The lone Aristocrat enters the Tani of Jakotsu Baba the troublesome Hag yokai. (Luckily he enters via the North River so will avoid her!) As fate would have it, this Tani creates a 3-in-a-row pattern for the Weather Kami Raijin....

(see that grumpy face?)

Invoking Raijin causes the weather to change immediately, with strong lightning and thunder!!! This also allows our wandering noble to hold aloft any one of his Items (he choose his Katana) so it may be struck by the storm and become a Fiery version! Fiery Items are worth double, so it's like having two Katana!

Now, amid the raging storm, our brave Arisocrat enters the realm with his flaming sword!!!

Note that the new Tani card also creates a Basic Item Pattern with two adjacent Shrine Locales, which grants us some Beads!

Now with a Lantern, Bow, Beads and Fiery Katana, the Aristocrat presses on...

Unfortunately, none of these items will help him pass through the Woods (3 Trees = Skill 3 required!) and he has no extra Rewards to use, so our dear noble FAILS...

As usual, when he Fails, this means he must pause at the current Locale for 7 Days, which moves the calendar to September 15, in the microseason of Sekirei Naku. When the wagtails sing, love is in the air! Sadly, our Aristocrat has been traveling alone for some time....

Next are three Shrine statues (Piety 3 Required). Luckily, he has a Piety Training Card to assist! Note: he is running out of those Training Cards quickly!

Speaking of burning up Training Cards, our desperate noble sees a lone Mountain up ahead, and must use another Training Card to pass through.

He has finally escaped the wretched Hag's domain! TO BE CONTINUED....
