The Ghost in the Halls (Day 1 Night)

Strong winds are blowing at night, whistling around the palace of Kyuden Moshi, sounding eerily similar to the wailing of a woman.

Perhaps you find yourself restless at night, and as you slip out of your quarters, you discover that a female ghost is wandering the halls of Kyuden Moshi at night!

Challenge:
You must Resist Fear 2 (raw WILL, add your honor, TN15) to join this event.

If you fail, you cannot join this event (but you may join a different event).

Focus:
You find yourself face-to-face with a ghostly female figure in a rich kimono. Her hair is arranged in the style of an elderly matron. She is moaning something... it almost sounds like words. What will you do? Choose one of:

You know something about ghosts! INT/Lore: Ghosts TN15, INT/Lore: Shadowlands TN15, or INT/Lore: Spirit Realms TN15
You know something about the history of Kyuden Moshi! INT/Lore: Centipede TN15 or INT/Lore: History TN15
You notice something about the ghost! PER/Investigation (Notice) TN15

Strike:
Surely the ghost's appearance is some sort of sign! You try to understand what her appearance here means. You may roll one of: INT/Lore: Ghosts TN15, INT/Divination TN15 or AWA/Artisan: Poetry TN15. If you are Cursed by Gaki-Do, your TN is 5 higher.
You gain 1 FR for each other player who succeeded at a Focus attempt different than the Focus roll that you attempted.
If you did not succeed at your Focus attempt, you must call 1 raise for no effect to overcome your bafflement at the ghost's appearance.
Remember that you cannot call raises or use free raises unless you are skilled.

Rewards:
If you succeed at the Strike, you overhear the ghost utter a cryptic poem; you gain 1xp and 1 rank of either Lore: Ghosts or Divination (your choice). Otherwise you gain 1xp. Successful raises will give additional details about the ghost.
If you fail at the Strike and belong to the Moshi family, you also gain the Haunted disadvantage.
