Core type monsters are usually glass cannons. Interesting if the structure of the cavern as a whole has some meaningful shape. Four doors into the crystal room is like four chambers in a heart. Some things about the series of events cast doubt on attacking the core. Why the delay between damaging heart and golems? Several minutes of Earthshaping before they extrude. Did it eat the chakra from Earthshaping to make the golems? Why prevent escape with second golem? Why wall off heart from weaker members of the group? Did damaging the crystal weaken the seal, awakening the power to make golems? No chakra beasts in the main room so it sent them out to fight or keeps them out of the room somehow.
Even if it is not the heart, destroying a 'vital organ' probably stuns the golems. If there were more hearts, would be less hesitant to destroy this one. Prefer to return to the cave one by one in case it moves the whole cave half a kilometer to the left before we come back. Kei second so the Dogs can tell if something went wrong.
Frustrating when people do not agree, but things will turn out better than expected. Stronger together.
[X] Action Plan: Hit the Shiny Weak Spot
Word Count: <300
Plan everything with Kei.
- Dispel.
- Assess the situation.
- Calm down. Deep breaths. Akane and Yuno are competent shinobi. They can win, or at the least retreat.
- We're low on chakra and don't know what'll be there when we return. OTOH, any enemies won't expect us to show up.
- We should take the time to heal up and return afterwards, prepared for a fight if it comes down to it.
- Get ready.
- Rest up. We want to be at 100% chakra, and no injuries when we return.
- Get a one-time contract with a high-level combat Dog. Kei has access to Pankurashun (or Pantomaimu?) as combat summons, but Hazou doesn't have anyone: Candoru couldn't beat the golem; Cantelope is FUBAR; and Cangue is not as skilled as Hazou IMO. Ask Cannai for his help (explaining the general situation), then make the appropriate contract while trading with the Dog.
- Set up seals, jutsu, etc.. When we shift to the Human Path we want to be at full combat readiness.
- Go.
- Once we are set to go, pop back into the Human Realm simultaneously. If possible we pop back in with Summons, but if not we should be bleeding in preparation to summon our allies, have Skywalkers activated, and otherwise have seals/weapons in hand.
- Ignore the golem unless fighting it is faster. Destroy the Heart.
- Fighting.
- Kei throws Goo Bombs; Summons bash heads; Hazou...readies a defensive MARS system? NB: Need to figure out what Hazou does.
- We should keep in mind the other dangers in the cave which may require use of chakra/jutsu.
- No fighting.
- Break the separating wall with directional explosives and try to group with Akane/Yuno.
- Second payload to destroy the Heart.
- Fighting.
