NAME OF CLASS: How Not To Be Seen (Introduction)
PROFESSOR ToT NAME: Ninja-san

General information: This seminar is held daily at noon in a small field just outside the Weeping Forest. Ninja-san encourages students interested in learning stealth techniques and techniques for spotting hidden beings and objects to attend one or more sessions.

Mechanics: Roll 1d20 five times, RP out the results.

Section 1 - Arriving at class: 1d20
1-2: You're either stupid or clumsy: you showed up for class ... visibly. Tiny ninja vulpes shuriken sting you in multiple spots until you get out of range. Ow. Fail.
3-9: You found a good hiding spot, and you're pretty sure you weren't spotted getting there. Pass.
10-11: You found a good spot, but some portion of your body is showing. The vulpes put a couple of shuriken into the exposed bit to let you know you're visible. You should probably go before they circle around and find other bits of you to assault. Fail.
12-19: You found a good hiding spot, and you're pretty sure you weren't spotted getting there. Pass.
20: You are a very sneaky person indeed. Nobody even suspects you're here. Pass; you may adjust your section 2 roll by +1 or -1.

Section 2 - Practical application: 1d20 x 3 posts
1-5: You can't for the life of you spot any other students. Are you sure you're not the only one here? Fail.
6-10: You saw someone arriving, but you don't see them now. Still, you scribble down their name/description on your paper. Pass.
11-14: You didn't see the stack of worksheets on your way in. Or you forgot your pen - or the ninja vulpes lifted it silently. Either way, you can't turn in what you don't have ... Fail.
15-19: You spotted someone. You write down their name/description and note their hiding spot. Pass.
20: You spotted someone - AND you spotted the ninja vulpes stealing some small item from them. You write down who, where, and what was stolen. Pass; you may adjust your section 3 roll by +1 or -1. This bonus stacks if you roll it more than once.

Section 3 - Turn in your work: 1d20
1-5: You slip your paper into the box without anyone spotting you. You think. Congratulations, you've passed this session!
6-15: The box is almost impossible to approach unseen. How does Ninja-san expect anyone to manage this? You try anyway - but a rain of shuriken lets you know that the vulpes definitely saw you. Fail.
16-20: Nobody saw you put your worksheet into the box, but it's certainly in there. Congratulations, you've passed this session!

Bonus Mechanics:
Extra Credit - Spot Ninja-san: 1d100, optional
1-98: Nope. You don't see him. Is he even here?
99-100: You see a little flicker of motion over there. Is that a figure? Yes, it is. Ninja-san waves at you, looking pleased. Then you blink. Where'd he go? Later, after class, you find a silver seed in your pocket. (Quote ToT Secretly a Ninja in your post.)



YOU LOSE/FINISH THIS RP WHEN...

- You are finished rolling all 5 dice. That means you have to make ANOTHER rp to try again!

There wasn't really much to this class. Johan pulled the rubric from his robes and gave it one more look over. Students just had to show up, hide, spot other students, and right down who they'd seen and where they'd been. It certainly seemed like a simple class, and Johan had finally come to realize he really, really needed to work on his physical... everything. Strength, stamina, speed. He was a wunderkind of fail when it came to anything more rigorous than waving his arms around. And, looking back, it had been a serious disadvantage in every situation he and his classmates had been in.

But if he could pick up a few skills? Maybe he'd be able to weather the trials the school liked to fling at him, and come out intact. For once. Obviously he couldn't neglect his studies, but if the human world presented half as much challenge as his school, he needed to become stronger. Or ... sneakier.

Tucking the leaf of paper back into his robe, Johan studied the sun-drenched field, and tried to decide where to hide. Maybe if he...

Well, it was worth a shot.

Ten minutes later, Johan ran back into the school, hand pressed to a gash in his temple. Okay. Note: White hair is not conducive to not being seen.

[Try 2]

The next day, Johan was back, gash bandaged and white hair hidden beneath a wrap of black cloth. Staying low, he crept toward the field, and concealed himself within a tall stand of grass. For several long moments he expected to receive another shuriken to the head, but... nothing. Okay! Progress! Taking great pains to keep the grass around him from moving too much, he crawled to where he could look around and try to spot any of the other students.

Johan's eyes widened when he spotted movement across the field. Was that... Yes! He could see someone trying to sneak onto the field! He immediately slid his hand into his robe to get his pen... his pen... wait...

It was gone! He risked lifting himself up slightly to see if it had fallen out, and caught just a glimpse of a ninja vulpes stealing away with it. Not thinking, Johan lunged after the minipet, right out into the open. He spent the next minute dodging a miniature storm of shuriken as he ran as fast as he could for the school.
