A YOGA DOJO IN A SMALL TOWN IN LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICA…


Turn 0c

Quote from: Green girl
Move to Space Bottom 3 and take a Deep Breath.

[5] As stalemate threatens to break out in the dojo, Green girl fully embraces the idea, and moves to the edge of the room, Breathing Deeply.

Quote from: Orange boy
Move to Top 5, Deep Breath/defend! And/or recover...

[5] As she does so, Orange boy also tactically adjusts position and gets ready to sit down...

Quote from: Violet girl
Perform The Splits at Green Girl and Orange Boy.

[5; 3vs6+2; 6vs4+2] But just then Violet girl comes flying stretchily through the air, one big toe pointed menacingly towards the faces of both Orange boy and Green girl!

Their Deep Breathing fully repulses her, and she drops neatly to the ground, disappointed.

Green girl regenerates One Yogic Hit Point!

Orange boy regenerates One Yogic Hit Point!


Quote from: Limegreen boy
Do the splits kick on green girl and Violet girl.

No sooner does Violet girl land does she also spy a Yogically charged Limegreen foot heading her way at a fear-inducing velocity!

[5; 1vs4; 5vs2+2] Violet girl ducks and covers, sending the foot way over her head, but as she looks up she hears its brother foot connect with a sickening thunch to Green girl's nose bridge!

But the power of Yoga repels it!

(mostly)

Green girl regenerates One Yogic Hit Point!

(after losing one first)

Quote from: Teal boy
Complete the set. Tree Pose, ayaaa!

[3] Teal boy has no time for petty rivalries – he is here to win, and win hard. And learn yoga. Hard. To that end, standing right in front of sensei, he instigates a near-alright Tree Pose, accompanied with a slightly maybe intimidating Yogic Yell. He waits for his enemies to come to him, ready to crush their crotches into smithereens.

Quote from: Red boy
With a karmic roar and an awkward romantic glance at Violet girl, Red boy dashes across the dojo to bottom space 2 and leaps into the air, channeling the overload of yogic power and emotion within him into a flying splits attack, attempting to avoid yogic explosion by unleashing his chakra energy destructively on Green girl and Limegreen boy in a supercharged blast. But not the explodey kind of blast.

[1]  ”Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” cries out Red boy, glancing at  Violet girl as he runs across the dojo, tripping on an unseen crack in the flooring and launching himself into a vicious accidental head first flying splits attack which rockets past the defensively postured Green girl, [6vs2+2] knocking chunks of actual flesh off her arms despite the deepness of her breathing, shoots almost through Limegreen boy, [6vs3] smacking him bleeding to the ground, [5vs2] and ends with a dull thud when Red boy's face makes an unpleasant high speed contact with the wall.

He drops down in slow motion, and flops to the floor but, filled with the Yogic Charge of reducing Green girl to Zero Yogic Hit Points, manages to cling to consciousness.

Green girl is out

sorry


Quote from: Tomato boy
Continue humming the pledge of allegiance, if that one's done switch over to humming Blood On the Risers. Keep doing Deep Breath, it seems to be working out for now.

[3] From the top corner, Tomato boy looks on, getting further and further into his patriotic humtrance.

A YOGA DOJO IN A SMALL TOWN IN LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICA…


Turn 0d

Quote from: Tomato boy
Continue sitting still and doing Deep Breath, hum the Union version of "when johhny comes marching home". If that isn't long enough, "The battle hymn of the republic" will do nicely.

Peace and quiet briefly reigns over the dojo as the students take in the shocking fleshlump filled death or at least temporary incapacitation of Green girl, and search deep within themse-

NO WAIT IT DOESN'T AT ALL!

[6] ”Hummmmmmmmmmm,” says Tomato boy, ”Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!”

THERE IS NO PEACE IN YOGA!

”Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!”

THERE IS NO QUIET IN THE FACE OF PATRIOTISM!

It would be annoying, if it wasn't only communists and Europeans that get annoyed by a good stirring hummed rendition of the The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

”Hummmmmmmmmuhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!1” shouts Tomato boy, ”HUMMMMMMMM!!”

Oh goodness!

Tomato boy seems to be turning a slight red!

”HUMMMMMMMUMMUMMMUMUMUMUMUMMM!!”

Everyone is turning a slight red!

Even sensei is turning a slight red!

The Yogic Power of the Patriotic Hum is filling everyone in the room with raw Yogic Juice!

It almost feels like... it almost feels like all attack rolls will be granted a +1 Raw Yogic Power Juice Boost for next turn or as long as Tomato boy continues to hum, whichever is longest!

Quote from: Teal boy
Migrate like a great northwestern sequoia to space top 4, Tree Pose and counters still deployed.

[1] In the face of the Yogic Hum Power Storm, Teal boy strides solemnly and treely a couple of feet to the right, and opens his arms to welcome in the Sequoiaic Power of the Tree Pose – and welcomes in too much power!

He can feel his head begin to throb with counter-attacking readiness, and feels deep inside himself that he absolutely must get his violence out from within immediately, or the headthrobbing will be an ill portent of something far far worse!

Teal boy will benefit from +1 to attacks and -1 to defences next turn!

Quote from: Orange boy
Continue defending!

[1] Just next to Teal boy, Orange boy can hear the throbbing of the tree-like student's headveins from a few feet away, and it totally disturbs the crap out of him! He can see the pulse beating along the side of Teal boy's skull; he can see the Yogic pressure building up; he can see everybody's faces turning tomatoier and tomatoier: he begins to worry! He begins to doubt! He begins to think that, perhaps, the mystic power of the Hatha will not protect him!

He tries to maintain a defensive breathy posture, but all that happens is Bad Yoga fills him with a rage-like despair! He thinks he's having a Yogic Panic Attack, and it's deeply unpleasant. He's not sure if he's going to be sick, or pass out, or both. He has brief but terrible hallucinatory visions of his becoming naked and aflame, and of this burning nudity spreading like unclothed wildfire.

He feels a desperate need to vent, and possibly listen to some music, but more than anything else, a desperate need to inflict Righteous Violence.

Orange boy will benefit from +1 to attacks and -1 to defences next turn!

Quote from: Violet girl
Move to Space Bottom 4 and take a Deep Breath. Probably cackle a bit? A nasally cackle is still a cackle.

[2] Unaware that her face, too, is turning a tomatoey colour, Violet girl steps far, ish, away from the Yogaing crowd, sits herself gently down, and breathes.

”Nyeheheheheh...”

Quote from: Limegreen boy
Move to bottom space one and breathe deeply. Think about how disappointed REDACTED would be if I failed. Find the strength to stand still.

[3] A corner away from Violet girl sits Limegreen boy, who spots her out the corner of his eye, and tries to ignore her.

Quote from: Red boy
Charge across the dojo to bottom space 5, taking up a defensive posture and licking my karmic wounds in close proximity to Violet girl. That wasn't any kind of innuendo or euphemism for anything.

[2] But! Limegreen boy can't help feeling a little jealous when Red boy moves next to Violet girl – the most powerful girl any of the boys has ever seen, let alone kind of met, in the sense of being in the same room as you without them immediately beginning to think of excuses to leave – and sits confidently down (outwardly confident, at least, and not at all looking like he's thinking of something, if not cool, at least, not, you know, painfully awful to say) and puts his hands into the correct posture, straightens his back, and hyperventilates as slowly as possible.

Good lord, the next turn is going to level the entire dojo.
I doubt you'll have enough surviving players to even start the game proper... let's hope the waitlist is well-stocked!

A YOGA DOJO IN A SMALL TOWN IN LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICA…


Turn 0e

As the roar of yogic power grows wilder and rawer, sensei shakes his head in disbelieving approval, and steps back slightly from his students, concerned at the prospect of irremovable bloodstains on his hakama. It occurs to him that the power is such that his brave students will probably all converge in a dramatic and simultaneous flying splits, apart from the americo-shamanic Tomato boy, who is steadfastly taking refuge in patriotism.

Sensei reaches behind him for the first aid kit on the wall.

He is going to have to perform a detailed medical inspection to see which students have passed the test, it appears – or at least which students have failed it with the least severe injury. Those students shall become his disciples, and the rest shall become patients in the nearest ER, to return as soon as a disciple falls in the bloody furnace of Yogic Struggle.

Quote from: Tomato boy
All will be filled with patriotism! Continue humming and doing Deep Breath. I think humming the "Halls Of Montezuma" and "Battle Cry Of Freedom" are a good fit for the situation we find ourselves in.

[3] Ignoring the feeling of impending doom filling his frontal brainlobes, Tomato boy continues to hum, blocking out the pain with one of his favourites, Halls of Montezuma.

”Hmm-mmm hmmmm-mmm hmm hmm hmmm-mmmmmmm…”

He watches and waits, and occasionally flinches pre-emptively, and then suddenly…

SUDDENLY!

Quote from: Teal boy
To Space Middle 5. Deploy the Basic Splits against any two within range.

[2] Teal boy moves like the swiftest of trees between Orange boy and Red boy, leaping into a deft deployment of the Basic Splits just as both enemies also rise into the air themselves!

SIMULTANEOUS MULTISPLITS!

One Teal foot flies towards Orange boy; the other hurtles into Red boy; joined heroically by the superflexible Teal crotch they strike, both deadly and calm, thirsting for blood like only Yogic feet can, apart from also carnivores such as sharks or leopards or army ants.

[6+1+1vs2-1] Bam! Goes Orange boy’s face as it is literally caved in, smashing the brain inside into orangey smithereens!

[6+1+1vs5] Smash! Goes Red boy’s nose as it is smacked sideways and snapped in two!

Orange boy is reduced to -5HP!

Red boy is reduced to -1HP!

Teal boy is regenerated to 7HP!

”Hum hum hummmmmmmmmmmm hmm hmm hmm-mmm…”

Quote from: Red boy
Channel Sun Wukong: break into a mad dash across the mat to middle space 1, ululating a karmic screech and leaping into the air on the ethereal wind flowing through the dojo, aiming a powerful double splits attack at limegreen boy and tomato boy, seeking to end this with a staggering blow before orange boy or teal boy can act. Make sure to do it when violet girl is watching.

[5] Knowing that the two current most important people in his life are looking on, and feeling sensei’s approval and Violet girl’s ardent admiration, Red boy bears the pain of a snapped nose and continues flying through the air, spinning sideways and rocketing big toes at the perfidious Limegreen boy  and the humfetishist Tomato boy.

[4+1vs3] The first toe severs Limegreen boy’s ear - and 180 degrees away the other toe bounces off Tomato boy’s left eyeball! [6+1vs5+2] The power of Deep Breath protects the young yogaka from serious blindness!

Limegreen boy is reduced to 0HP!

Red boy is regenerated to 0HP!

”Hymmm hmm hmymmmumm-mmm mmmmm arggg…”

Quote from: Limegreen boy
Yell "BANSAI!!!!!!!!!!!" as I splits kick red boy and Violet girl.

[4] Braving the pain of becoming suddenly mono-eared, Limegreen boy bansais through the air determined to take down both his love rival and the object of his suppressed affections. [6+1vs3] Red boy, already badly unconscious but filled with enough Yogic force to still just about function, is struck by a sharp heel to the chin, totally knocking him out.

”Darling!” accidentally lets slip Violet girl, dashing over to Red boy in a display of lovestruck weakness, and getting hit in the forehead with the end of Limegreen boy ’s foot as a reward.

[3+1vs2] She stumbles and drops to her knee, before remembering that she is involved in a simultaneous 5 way Yogic Splits-Off!

Red boy is reduced to -4HP!

Violet girl is reduced to 0HP!

Limegreen boy  is regenerated to 1HP!

”Hmm mmmm, mmm hmmm, mmm hmmmmm…”

Quote from: Orange boy
Splits, and attack Teal and Tomato!

[2] Not the only person beginning to find Tomato boy’s humming mildly irritating, rather than frankly the most inspiring sound to have been produced since the first yogaka broke the sound barrier, Orange boy goes on the simultaneous Yogic offensive, using his groinic energy to direct blows against both the hummer and Teal boy.

[5+1+1vs5+2]Not for the first time this simultaneous instant, a foot bounces off Tomato boy’s impenetrable body!

[5+1+1vs5] Teal boy is not so fortunate, and receives a toe to the mouth, knocking out one of his front teeth! He thinks that, for a moment, Orange boy’s toenail touches the tip of his tongue.

”HMM MM MMMMMMMMM, MM MMHMMM HMMYMMMMM…”

Quote from: Violet girl
Move up to Space Middle 4 and perform The Splits at Teal Boy and Orange Boy. The aura of this place demands sacrifice, one way or another.

[3] But Teal boy doesn’t have long (zero seconds, in fact!) to think about this, because suddenly another toe comes arrowing towards him, and a related toe comes missiling towards Orange boy.

[6+1vs4-1] Teal boy is knocked to the floor, in the process of which Orange boy’s toe is dislodged from his face!

 [2+1vs5-1]Unfortunately, however, Violet girl’s other toe is blunt and ineffectual, and fails to make a mark on the strong (but let us not forget severely injured) Orange boy.

Teal boy is reduced to 3HP!

”MMmmmm hmmm ymmmmmmm mm hmmymm mmmmmmmmmm…”

Having forgotten to breathe for more than a minute, Tomato boy keels over, the floor smacking him out of unconsciousness.

[2+1vs2] Tomato boy is reduced to 1HP!

He hurriedly sits back up and looks around.

He is not entirely sure what just happened, but amongst the bodies lying on the dojo floor, he can see Teal boy standing proudly; himself sittingly hummingly; Limegreen boy sitting leaningly like a bleeding tower of Pisa, and sensei slapping Violet girl gently about the face to wake her up.

Red boy  and Orange boy look like they need a bit more than a gentle slap to revive them, so sensei drags them and Green girl and Pink girl to the side of the room, and quietly arranges an ambulance or two.

A BLOOD-SPATTERED YOGA DOJO IN A SMALL TOWN IN LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICA…


Turn 1

Mysterious yogic dust settles across the dojo floor, and sensei addresses you all.

”HELL YEAH! That was PURE YOGA, dudes. Good work. But! That was just a start. Now you need to gain some further understanding into the way of Yoga. You have to understand how your body works, dudes.

We split your mental and physical power, which aren’t really separate, into three different parts, which we measure scientifically using points. So, for example, there is Mind. This measures the power of your Yogic Will. You expend Mind points to perform Yoga Moves. You restore Mind points by sleeping, striking down the enemy, or taking hits when in Yogic Defence Stance, which is a little different to how it seemed to work just now, but the first thing you need in Yoga is Faith, so don’t think about it too hard.

Another thing we measure is Body. This is chiefly used to determine hit points. When you reach 0 Body points, you totally die. You restore your Body points by eating or spending Mind Points, to represent the power of the Mind to literally knit together your wounded flesh.

And the last thing is Flexterity. The Yogic term for the vital combination of flexibility and dexterity, flexterity determines how easily you, for example, can punch someone or, for example, evade someone’s punch. You add this score to your combat rolls. You restore your Flexterity points by early morning stretches or spending Mind Points. This represents the way that the power of the Mind can literally make your body grow.

Now, you know your body better than anyone else, so you know how best to scientifically represent it. Before I talk to you about your first Yogic Quest, you need to determine the accurate measurements of your body.

To do this, you need to split 7 Yogic Points between the 3 Yogic Stats. As a guide, your average ten year old in the street, unimbued with Yogic Greatness, would probably have scores of 0 Mind, 3 Body, and 1 Flexterity. They physically can’t do Yoga! Suckers!

Each time you grow in personal experience, something we yogakas often call “levelling up”, you get to add 1 point to a stat, or learn a new move, or occasionally both.”


Sensei finally takes a breath and looks sort of fondly at you all.

”Talking of learning moves, Yoga is all about learning and mastery. If someone tries to make out that it's not, well, they suck balls.

To learn a Yogic move, first you have to be shown it. And be a high enough level. But anyway, you have to be shown a Yogic Move. Or, you know, you could watch it on a video or something. I have videos you could totally buy, if you really get into Yoga. Anyway, next you have to attempt the move – in the fiery maelstrom of combat. This is subject to a d6 roll. Generally, you just have to not get it horribly wrong. Or stupendously right, hehe. Once you've successfully done a move, it's totally in your Yogic repertoire, and you can do it whenever you have the Mind Points available. Details of Yoga Moves will be stored in the second post when I get time.

Oh, and talking of levelling up, each level you also move up a belt. The Yogic Belts are Red, Yellow, Pink, Green, Purple, Orange, Blue, and then the various Dans of Black. The Belt of the Master is the Eighth Dan Rainbow Super Sequin Belt. Check mine out.

Oh! One last thing. When you’ve learnt many Yoga Moves, you can try and combine them. Why not? That’s how the old masters developed things like Wilting Pansy Pose and Yogic Death Cleave. You can also try spending more than one Mind Point to supercharge them. That’s how my first sensei died. As a Yogaka, there’s all sorts of stuff you can try, as long as it sounds Yogic enough.”


Sensei looks very pensive, as if he’s going through a mental checklist of things he’s told previous generations of students but has been ill recently so might have forgotten something important.

”Now, that’s a lot to take in, so I sympathise and understand if there’s any questions – we have time for a few, and then we’ll discuss how we go about expanding our personal experience of the Yogic world through undertaking important quests. Oh, and we’ll totally give out your Red Belts and quickly learn a new move! Yeah!”
