The temple has a large bell in the center, inscribed with laws-- many of them archaic, irrelevant to your situation here. Laws involving food preparation, laws involving cattle trade, laws involving how deeply one must bow to a father-in-law... But in each of the four cardinal directions there are four long scrolls unfurled and hanging like tapestries.
The four large scrolls of oaths on the walls read:
Oath of the Loyal: For so long as you swear loyalty to me and stay by my side, may you be granted glory and strength. Oath of the Gentle: I undertake this vow-- for if I raise a blade against another, may I be pained in kind. Oath of the Brave: I swear I am no coward- for so long as the battle rages, I will not turn tail and flee. Oath of the Lover: By this vow I am bound- should you or I be harmed, let us share the pain and halve our burden.
Beneath those oaths are smears of blood, thumbprints and handprints.This might be a really good or really bad place to meet one of Taisho Roman Revolution."
Mechanics If a member of Taisho who has the Swear on Your Honor ability gets another to sign their name or smear their blood on one of those contracts, the following effects will be granted or inflicted:
Oath of the Loyal: +2 strength for as long as the signee stays in the same area as their contractor, without betraying them.
Oath of the Gentle: Any damage the signee does with a blade damages them too. Damage dealt barehanded, through skill use, or with any non-bladed tools or weapons is unaffected.
Oath of the Brave: Characters that sign this contract cannot attempt to retreat from combat until the other party surrenders, flees, etc.
Oath of the Lover: When either the signee or the contractor takes damage, the damage is halved, with half the damage going to the other contracted party.
[--BOOP BACK HERE AGAIN WHERE DID MORI AND DUALITY GO WHAT IS TIME]
[and everything is reset??
. . .]
[TEARING DOWN ALL THE TAPESTRIES AGAIN (then shrinking and pocketing them) except for ~Lover~ and leaving a small red bottle of potion under it (It's a CURSE) potion.]
[ she was already here when he arrived, and was studying the destroyed tapestries herself, spreading some out on the ground to attempt to reconstruct what they might have said.
held in one hand is a lance, which she seems to be supporting easily. ]
[there are no tapestries to inspect except lovers because of someone, so that narrows the field down to one. startled but keeping his hands out and visible, no need to scare anyone]
a fucking genie appears in front of him, conjures A BUNCH OF THE PUPPETS FROM THE PUPPET THEATER, which converge on Will and stab him with knives for 3 damage before they crumple motionless into a pile of doll parts on the ground and the genie and weapons vanish into thin air once more. feel free to pick where he gets stabbed ]
You are telling the truth? I have no way of ascertaining this now, but should I come to find out otherwise in the future, you will regret speaking this lie.
