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 tro 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 START OVER to try again! You may do so in the same thread or a new one if you decide to attempt again at a later date.

Attempt 1

It was a class called how not to be seen, held at noon in the middle of a field -- in other words, from the very beginning, the class sounded to Harrow like a bit of a trap. It was a set-up, designed to prove his incompetence and poke a little fun.

And so, once again, he prepared. For three days before he went, he checked out the setting, poking around and trying to figure out the trick behind this game, some way for him to get it done -- and done fast -- without making a fool of himself.

The solution was clear: show up twenty minutes early.

Hide in the grass.

Don't be seen.

It was a good plan. Except, of course, that this was only the first part of the class -- and Harrow didn't take that into account.

So he sat. And he sat. And, eventually, it seemed clear to him that he'd come on the completely wrong day, so Harrow stood out of annoyance to go.

Instantly, he was seen. The right day, then.

He'd just have to do better the next time.

The second day, he was just a bit late -- arriving in a rush, breathless, and struggling to keep low, out of sight. He ducked from one tree to another, before finally landing in a hiding place where he hoped he'd see something happen, this time.

He didn't think anyone had seen it.

And he did: there it was, a quick dash that made Harrow's eyes light up. With some quiet fumbling, he got out a notebook and a pen to write down the name and the location of that pale hair in the bushes.

A success. Now to see what happened next.

So he sat, and waited: slowly growing stiff. After a time, he thought he saw something and sat up again, only to find his pen was gone.

He couldn't put the next entry on the sheet.

He rooted around on the ground around him, but it was gone, and his motion got him seen.

This was getting annoying. The third day, he claimed a spot with six pens in his pocket and sat in to watch, serious and focused. He'd even worn black.

No one. Not a glimpse. He drew in a breath, frustrated, and went home to rethink his plan.

Target spotted. He took careful, color coded notes.

He couldn't put down exactly where this one went, but he was sure he saw someone arrive -- late, that sucker -- before they disappeared into the grass. He took a note.

And that was it. A blank spot on his worksheet. Harrow growled, annoyed.

He painted his face this time, dark smudges to help obscure him in the grass.

He scowled: sucker spotted. He took notes on what they'd looked like.
