I thought the timer is for the group of greens waiting on the edge of the volcano, and Guan Zhi and Renxiang are close enough to respond pretty quickly with their artillery strike.

edit; it's actually probably more a speed and terrain than distance issue for them. Renxiang can fly, and Guan Zhi's a cyan.

Our qi constructs infuse the surrounding area. I'd rather have their dead spot be right next to us, where we can prevent people from getting to it, than give them a free spot to blast us from a distance without us being able to fight back.
 
Though if we target the shishigui we might be able to use wavering mind strike on him stopping the stone sinking in the ground as well

So, is Ling Qi physically capable of running away with the stone?

I highly doubt it. If she were picking up a regular rock that size, sure. However, she's not doing that here. It burns her eyes just to look at the giant reality-warping stone, I doubt it'll easy for her to pick it up when she has no defensive arts to protect her. And she won't bc its gonna disrupt her qi.
 
She'll likely try either moving it through the dream or pushing it with UGM. If those don't work she'll probably guard it along with Zhengui until she gets enough backup.

LQ is strong, but not that strong.

The fact that "secure the stone" is an option that yrs gave us means that LQ has some reason to believe she can, in fact, secure the damn thing. How likely she is to be right about that depends on the level she has in the relevant skills. She has War C and Stealth A with a specialization in stealing things, so in this case her judgment that she can pull it off is probably decent.

It is the higher risk choice though, mostly because of how little she knows about the properties of Starstone. Moon Qi is related to Stellar Qi, so shoving it into the dream with PLR might work, but it's a gamble.

The first two options require qi, which the starstone would disrupt, as I've said. So those two options wouldn't work. Guarding it with ZG seems risky and very much underestimating the opposition, many of whom are higher ranked than her and outnumber her.
 
We are like three or four stages too early to put up any protection that a cyan couldn't walk all over. So either we can move the building sized chunk of Qi-disrupting warp stone with our Qi techniques, or we are pretty fucked.

You know what could probably physically carry it away? The Cyan Giant Eagle that Mr. Mask is riding.

We know that it disrupts Qi constructs and that's really all we know. That doesn't mean that no techs work on it or around it whatsoever. The Shishigui easily moved it through the earth (though they use some weird corrupted Qi) and the cloud nomads like to wear it on their face even though they still use Qi.

That's why we have our cyan alpha strike him first. If he is injured and has to face down a peer he doesn't have much time to deal with us.

Songseeker's Ceremony also uses Stellar Qi.

Ling Qi has experience working with it.

-[x][Ling Qi] Target Shishigui

The Starstone is a secondary objective, and one I'm not sure we will be able to steal or secure given its properties. I don't think we have any real chance of stealing the Starstone with its qi disruption.

And to those people that say Moon qi is good against Star qi... Am I the only one worried that the hopefully-not-a-nuke will activate because of our Moon qi?
 
Oh absolutely, the moment there was a cyan strutting about was the moment GZ was locked in on dealing with it, otherwise it's just going to be Mr Mask and GZ fighting each other a bit later over the bodies of their subordinates.

We try to move on anything and he isn't occupied, he shanks us dead, no save.

There are two enemies we can think that probably can move the rock: Earthbender and Mr Mask ('s bird).

We can do nothing about the latter but siccing GZ on him, so I figure we should guarantee the Earthbender is dead or otherwise unable to do his thing.
 
The roots Zhengui uses to just tie the rock up Is our best bet in making sure it's not taken by anyone else unless those just whither/melt away from radiation.
Really if we go after the shishigui the only contenders for it would be the ice lady and husband since the yellow army Couldn't do anything with unless they make a tornado which they likely will anyway.

Edit but yea despite the shiny it's still a secondary objective to grabbing intelligence off them so targeting the shishigui with CRX and Ling is what I'm aimin for, even if WMS doesn't work on them we can still distract them enough till reinforcements arrive to better secure the stone

Which is why they all get blasted with the artillery in the opening move, giving them a nice and very deadly distraction to force them to burn their reserves and split their attention

Whereas Ling Qi would be totally fresh
 
i would really prefer suppression fire on the cyan and his group. CRX likely doesnt have enough firepower for it, so it needs to be done by guan zhi. CRX's hit on the shishigui group is probably more suppression fire than fire for effect too. so with both factions tied down the question is what we do with the opening we get from that.

do we engage the white sky? this would mean all 3 groups of higher greens are tied down, so our our main force can hit the low ranked barbs up top for effect. negative part is that white sky has a G8 in it and we are G4. also, they are the faction that are the least enthusiastic about fighting us, so attacking them sounds like a mistake.

attacking the 12 star group would mean we get involved into a cyan vs cyan fight and our cyan already warned us before that they dont have IFF, so that is probably a bad idea.

attacking the shishigui means that we focus on actually taking down that group with CRX + us instead of just checking it with CRX. the drawback is that both the white sky and the stone remain unchecked. could mean they jump into any of the fights, which would be bad, or they might try to leave. possibly with the stone. that is actually still better than the cyan doing that, and our perimeter might still get them. (or we let them leave without the stone, cause again they are not that enthusiastic about fighting us)

we could still attack the rim. that would make the assault of that easier for our group of greens and we could use the backup and numerical advantages to defeat the higher stage greens. leaves the white sky and the stone unchecked. also, clearing the rim should take some time and means we arent part of the fight down there at least at first.

or we could go after the stone. It will probably be difficult to yoink it away, so we would need to play defense here. probably against several peers or slightly above greens. not impossible, but also means we arent supporting CRX vs her opponents. maybe she helps us? still, defending the stone in that situation does mean that if the white sky wants to take it, we have to fend of a G8+G6 duo for example. or maybe some of the G3/4/5 cultivators of 12 stars decide that the cyan vs cyan fight is getting too hot for them and try to grab the stone instead. or maybe both. Overall i dont think that this is going to be an easy objective, even if it is doable.
