VELORIEN KEI: "Hazō, you idiot. You absolute moron."
EAGLEJARL KEI: "I see no issues with your proposed course of action."

I thought so, too
... missing word? I presume this was meant to read "made of nature chakra"?
We really should get into one of those situations where our ability to survive does not depend on the wishes of others, one of these days, tbh.
Oh, I don't like this.
This one's new
EJ I love you and I can't stop laughing
He's right, that does sound nice. If the temperature wasn't that high I'd probably go for this right now
Unlike Candoru, who is... down for the scount 🤭
After a safety dance and a sealing loadout that explodes the fuckers
That sounds incredibly enticing
Also that
[x] Action Plan: Another Golem's Den?
Word Count: <299
Word Count: <299
- Dispel
- Sanity-check with the team.
- Secure the pool, close off deeper tunnels with MEW, and set up a trap perimeter
- Search for any chakravores in the grotto.
- Noburi, see if there's anything in the water -- be thorough, take your time.
- Don't immerse yourself, put a hand in at most.
- Avoid using ES to study the grotto lest we trigger something.
- Examine the crystals -- are they functional PS substrate?
- Use chakrascope and MS8, any similarity to the Honey crystals?
- Are the seals burning up like they did in the Honey cave?
- Test chakra adhesion/repulsion, any difficulty?
- Grab samples -- ideally broken off already, to test ES on later.
- Examine the crystals -- are they functional PS substrate?
- Don't take a dip yet, the chakravores are still around, and we don't know if the cost reduction effect would take time to adjust to
- After the grotto is cleared, continue hunting down the chakravores.
- Everyone be on high alert concerning your chakra reserves
- The drain looked to be short range (1 Zone), so if anyone's reserves precipitously drop, Substitute away
- Engage the chakravores with RW, MW and Taijutsu only, no ninjutsu.
- Although enhancements like CotWG and SotS hopefully shouldn't be harmful to use.
- Taijutsu/MW users should be careful about closing the distance for too long due to drain, be prepared to Substitute away if necessary.
- Be prepared to run for it if chakra reserves drop too low -- we can always come back.
- Noburi should focus on activating more misterators, detecting foes, creating Substitution targets, and wresting any drained chakra back from the chakravores.
- Any regular beasts can be engaged with mist drain.
- Everyone be on high alert concerning your chakra reserves
- If there's no trace of the chakravores after the cave is fully explored, return to the grotto to do experiments with the water.

Would you be willing to add a carveout for Noburi, if he thinks the pool might interact dangerously with his bloodline?
Eh sure, seems like something he'd speak up about but if you think it's necessary.

Did we dip a toe in this or something…?

Yes. There is a straight shot to the surface, everything else is walled off. The path down here was remarkably lacking in...well, anything in the way of macrolife. Some bugs and such but none of the larger life one would expect.
You are newly arrived at the grotto so you know nothing more than what's in the update and you haven't walled anything off or etc.
Very much so.
The relationship has always been fluid.
Done up to the point of the grotto. You'll need to actually explore the grotto itself if you want to find passages to close off.
You held a hand just slightly over it.

I am not surprised.
Follow up question, then; is the otter statue completely solid or is there a hollow cavity inside?
Hint. Hint.
Ah, the good ol' back of the hand trick. Makes sense.

Pinging also @Velorien @Paperclipped
Just checking, the chakravores are walled off and the team thinks they're neutralized? Noburi confirmed they were captured with the VD?
Did we kill them after they were baited?
Hazou seemed very sure that we should kill them here.

Others? Noburi? I don't want to wait on this research if we can get FOOMing again with it

Can we not dip into the pool in the meantime and FOOM that way? We don't have to replicate the effect while we still have access to the pool.
- Location
- Yes.
What ProperAttorney said, and even so we should be doing more than just prep days.
I don't want to be forced to stay here for an extended period of time (TR150 & FD and then Water Runes), so I think we should be getting our prep days done while we have access to the pool in case our research on it will need access to the pool -- like the Rift runes need access to a Rift.
We can make the decision of what our next long-term research project is after we do prep days on the pool.
I'm not convinced we're going to even avoid combat here. This looks like the crystal cave to me.
I don't want to squeeze in 100 word long term research plan that won't even get implemented - see this last plan for a 500 word plan, 200 words of which got written over 2 updates.
We can spend 2 days investigating the pool and then doing prep days on it.
- Location
- Yes.
So what, is Hazou not doing any research in the 2 days he's investigating the pool? That seems a poor use of his time.
We haven't been doing any research for the past 9 days...
- Location
- Yes.
We've been... having to travel, for the past 9 days? To gather the team, and relocate. Unless I have misunderstood the situation?
FYI @eaglejarl the XP for today was previously awarded, also @Velorien I think Loquacity should have been -2 for a <599 word plan.
@faflec Looks like 5 days where we could have been researching but didn't. This pushes it to 6 or 7 at most.
