Or to confirmation she is Shugenja. (Sorry guys, didn't mean to make that so quick.)
If that's the first encounter, we need to determine how to calculate Budo/Shugendo and On.
Budo/Shugenja
Boars are non-humans, worth 1.5 Budo each. So, four boars are worth 6 Budo for overcoming them. That goes to Taka, who otherwise would get 0.1 for casting Mud successfully, but takes the higher result.
With our house rule, the other characters get half that, for 3 Budo each. (Our provision was that everyone 'participates' which in this case perhaps means 'makes an engaged post on the encounter preparing or evading accordingly.')
Strategy gets a percentage (recommended 10%) of party Budo to the strategist. 6+3+3+3 = 15, or 1.5 Budo for a successful strategy to avoid combat.
No other Shugendo options look like they apply. Taking the Budo value as higher looks better for both of us.
On
Win Encounter Receive On equal to Budo for winning fight.
So, that matches above and applies here.
Other categories applying to regular battles include
Heroic Duty (if one of the Samurai puts himself in danger for the sake of duty owed (like protecting others) gets 1x to 5x the amount of Budo as On.
Suffering wounds gives On equal to lethal damage suffered. Two On are earned for each turn spent in "Courageous Mode" (but I don't see that defined). Finally,
Flashing Swordplay allows you to declare you take a BCS penalty equal to your level to get an additional award equal to Budo earned (x2 award for x2 penalty, x3 award for x3 penalty, etc.)
The actions of the Bushi still might be able to invoke some of those options if they're creative.
(Posting this so they can take this into account... player posting rate shouldn't count against them.)
What do you think, Ffilz?
Or, do we get partial Budo/On for successfully avoiding the conflict? That's a lot of Budo for a single post encounter.
