The Moshi shugenja have determined the nature of the ghost in the garden, and have undertaken a ritual to exorcise the ghost.

Perhaps you run across them and decide to get involved.

Challenge:
The Moshi have tried to keep this quiet, but they had to ask for permission to perform a ritual at midnight, and, well, people talk.

To join this event you must either:
- Have learned the nature of the ghost from the Research Library event, in which case you are invited to participate; or
- Heard a rumor about the ritual being planned. You must first roll AWA/Courtier (Gossip) TN15 to hear about it, then AWA/Etiquette (Courtesy) TN20 to get yourself invited to attend. You may get 1 FR to each of these rolls if you have Ally: Moshi Keiko. If you fail either of these rolls, you cannot participate in this event (but you may try another).

Focus:
Now that you've become involved in the ritual, you must find a way to help. Moshi Keiko is also here, trying not to look nervous; the relation of the ghost to her person has made her a central part of the exorcism ritual. You may roll one of:
- Determine an auspicious time and place for the ritual. INT/Divination TN15.
- Perform ritual purifications. Void/Meditation TN15 (this does not regain Void Points).
- Help prepare the ritual. INT/Lore: Theology TN15.
- Provide moral support for Moshi Keiko. AWA/Sincerity or AWA/Perform: Oratory TN15. This is not an opposed roll. If you have Ally: Moshi Keiko, you gain 1 FR to this roll for each rank of devotion.

Strike:
At the appointed hour, you must perform your part of the ritual.
Roll INT/Spellcraft TN20 or INT/Lore: Ghosts TN20.
You gain 1 FR for each other player who passed a Focus attempt different than your own.
If you failed your focus attempt, you must call 1 raise for no effect.
If you are Haunted or Cursed by Gaki-Do, you must call 1 raise to overcome your spiritual imbalance.

Rewards:
If your strike attempt is successful, your part of the ritual succeeds and you gain 1xp and 1 rank of Lore: Ghosts or Divination (your choice). Otherwise, you gain 1xp but there is a flaw in your part of the ritual which may cause it to fail.
