Between Kei and Tenten, who rolled higher RW? Also did Tenten show any cool combat stuff or just the traditional draw+throw that RW users do?
@eaglejarl @Velorien, @Paperclipped
Since there was no ping. Also, are you guys planning on keeping the prompt treatment rules? I know Paper is on the fence. If you feel it's too OP you could nerf it some. Lower the TN/shift reduction or increase the shift cost.
Also, Paper, any FP reward from winning the combats?

- Yes.
[X] Earthshape all our faces into the ceiling, make it look like we were caught in a sealing failure and died horribly.We should just Earthshape Hazou's face into the ceiling.
Might as well use ES 50 for style points since we're not getting much combat use out of it ever

@Paperclipped
- How was Hazō's dodging ability/were there any close calls?
How immediate is raising his Athletics? - Can we see a brief combat snippet of just the moment where Hazō got hit with a Resolve-targeting attack? 🙏
- Given the precedent set by Kei's unstagation during the Darkness Cavern retrieval mission, may we assume that these two combats (which just about killed our strongest teammate) unstaganted everyone present? (Or, will do so once the "clear the cave" mission is finished?)
- Are all the chakravores dead?
- How fun was running this encounter and is there anything that we the players could do to make it more enjoyable?

Well I'll be damned! Noburi might just have a chance to show off after all.
@Paperclipped @eaglejarl @Velorien
Would treating Yuno's Severe (either immediate-treatment or daily surgery) be aided by Chakra Scalpels?
He needs a combo stunt to benefit from both CS and VD

I don't think the rolls would reveal this, so HDK.
Just traditional draw-and-throw. No beasts in here were remotely close to dodging any of her attacks.
Hazou did not roll Athletics in any of the combats in this chapter. He mainly used Taijutsu, Alertness, and Resolve.
Chakravore (Voring): ?? + ? (dice) = ??
Hazou (⅔ Resolve): 41 - 6 = 35
Hazou loses 24 CP.
Chakravore (Voring): ?? + ? (dice) = ??
Hazou (⅔ Resolve): 41 + 0 = 41
Hazou loses 13 CP.
Chakravore (Voring): ?? + ? (dice) = ??
Hazou (⅔ Resolve): 41 + 6 = 47
Hazou loses 4 CP.
Hazou (⅔ Resolve): 41 - 6 = 35

No.
HDK.
Somewhat fun. It was easy to run, since hordes of very similar beasts don't require much design, but the encounters were fairly mechanical as a result. The chakravores are interesting by nature, but I suspect there will be few chakra beasts that are similarly interesting to run against, so they're in a nice sweetspot of interesting/easy to run.
Fighting intelligent enemies will always be interesting/enjoyable, but also takes more time and energy from us to design and run them. It's always a tradeoff.

Sure, we can use those rules or something similar again this time. It makes sense for it to be valuable to have a medic on hand immediately after an injury is taken.
Noburi says: ideally five minutes or less.

Thank you!!
Alright, who's excited for Noburi to get his Big Hero moment where he swoops in with his big-dick effective 88 Medical Ninjutsu?!

What I really want to know is "How long would it take for Noburi to do an on-the-spot immediate healing of Yuno's Severe?"
- Does immediate treatment take the full three hours?
- How secure is the area we are currently in?
- If we do a reckless dash to the Kagome perimeter, does Noburi think he will have time to do an immediate treatment on Yuno (including any time it takes to set up Vampiric Attunement)?

Oh, and before anything more happens, I just want to register a thing I'd like to reveal later:

0695e51e87beb5de0eae3c3aa2bcbcc48fa8ea35ed68bd4d0ca0c3db46450577 message.txt[X] Action Plan: The Better Part of Valor
Word Count: 299
Word Count: 299
- We need to get Yuno to the pool for immediate treatment, we only have minutes.
- Rebalance chakra. Ideally Kei/Hazou/Noburi/Tenten can fight and Yuno has just enough to defend herself.
- Head for camp at a reckless dash.
- Noburi and Hazou should be 2 Zones ahead of the rest of the party, if we encounter beasts they should clear them before the injured party members cross.
- Kei/Tenten should support their melee party members from range. Tenten under instructions not to strain herself.
- Yuno should defend herself but not act aggressively. Retreat if we aren't likely to be surrounded
- Avoid any beast breaking out and attacking our wounded party members.
- If necessary, maintain a Block on chakra beasts leaving the Noburi/Hazou Zone.
- Be alert for tunnelers. If Hazou has the chakra to spare, cast Living Roots when nearing the uncleared part of the route.
- Hazou should quickly get seals from the rest of the party -- his were ruined. Same goes for Yuno/Tenten if applicable.
- If we're running out of seals (FB/RRBs/DEs) Declare that we stashed some ahead of time on the Seventh Path.
- Once we get to the pool, Noburi is in charge of treating Yuno ASAP. Invoke maximally and use all his tricks. (VD, MS8, chakra scapels)
- Spend the next day resting (until the Milds clear).
- Use SC to read notes and to scribe seals to replace the ones we used.
- Start studying mednin with Noburi, focus on chakra systems
- Ask Mari/Kagome to test the water. If the effects are easy to adapt to, everyone takes a dip.
- Observe everyone with VD, MS8, chakrascope etc.
- Have unaffected people make SCs and test the effects on those first.
- Use SC to read notes and to scribe seals to replace the ones we used.
- Head back out with Noburi/Kei/Hazou/Tenten to clear the remainder of the cave.

Are you going to give us the message file too or just its hash?
Edit: Out of curiosity, what is the character length of the file? I wanna try decryption!

How much later? My poor heart can't take the suspense.
Unless you are a major world government, you'd have better luck trying to factor 469800663261570274423368445641 by hand. I encourage you to try.

The point is that when we get the final message, we know that it was prewritten and not edited after the fact based on new information by comparing the SHA256 hash of the file with what Paperclipped just posted.
And, as @Sir Stompy says, SHA 256 is a hashing algorithm, not an encryption algorithm, and is not meant to be decrypted. If you would like to try a brute force attack, best of luck to you, but it's unlikely to be intellectually stimulating.
