Triad Creation Tourney - Jaunt Info

The Triad Creation Tourney
March 12-April 21


Her Majesty’s Royal Academy of the Arts, the foremost magical arts academy of Great Britain, is hosting the triannual Triad Creation Tourney, in which they and two other magical schools--the United States’ Lone Star Academy and Japan’s Teikoku Majutsu-shi no Gakuen--compete to create the ultimate magical artistic creation. This year, however, things are far from going as planned. With rumors of cheating rampant and a would-be evil overlord having snuck into the school, the Travelers will have their work cut out for them getting this Triad Creation Tourney to its end!

Helping with paperwork and set up are indeed options! They could also help with exam tests (gotta make sure those students don’t cheat), or be there as personal assistants to the judges, or as media involved in covering the Tourney. Or something else entirely - if you can tihnk of a role but aren’t sure, you can ask us if it’s doable.

As for tutors, the whole competition is basically a giant employment opportunity for them, so they naturally tend to show up to try and offer their services.

He is a wonderful dancer.

Other question about the magic part. will the investigators be unable to do the magic unless they manage to learn it from someone infiltrating. or can they pick it up some other way? or will they know some?

Aka: how much lying will death be doing, either way will be hilarious.

The magic is an inherent part of the world, so no - they don’t need to learn it from an infiltrator. They can, if you want to (they might not necessarily be good at it right from the get go), but it’s not necessary.

(Also, Bii is going to give you an answer with more detail on investigators picking up skills - since I’m not a mod myself, I’m not confident answering that)

So! Right! If you're investigating and you want to learn a world's skills, it sort of depends if they're things you can pick up just from being there or if they're things that you would need to be taught.

Anyway, stuff like this Jaunt's creative magic and the various strains of Doki-itis from the Doki-Doki no Gakuen Jaunt and magical hero transformations from our last Jaunt world are inherent to the world enough that anyone visiting that world, Infiltrator or Investigator, will be able to just pick it up by being there. In that case, all you need to do is show your character doing the thing somewhere in your threads when you turn in AC and you're good for a skill proof.

But then there's stuff that people can't just pick up by being around, because they're things that even the people in universe need to be taught. Stuff like color magic from the Dolorosa Jaunt or Siren Song from the Shoals Jaunts or elementalism from the Bando Jaunt. With those skills, you need to show your character learning it from one of the other player characters when you turn in your AC for your skill proof.

(Infiltrators have it easy in a way, because even for the second category they can handwave that they were taught in their backstory and they just have to demonstrate their character doing the thing like an investigator would for the first category.)
