Actually, fuck that.
[X] declare that we blew up the Storm Rune husk with an Remote Explosive Rune, firing from a SCSA-hidden skytower.

- Yes.
I'm of the opinion that we are running out of time, at least in the context of getting back to Leaf before they make their move.
@eaglejarl @Velorien @Paperclipped Not sure if we can ask without putting it into a plan, but may as well: What is the team's estimate of how long we have before Leaf assaults the rift site?
It's been over a week, I don't think we can afford to go back.
Those are seals. We'd have to place them on the Storm Rune for them to destroy it, which is infeasible.
Problem; it's already been two weeks since then. The husk will have been noticed, and saying that we stuck around for 24 hours is way too much for a Declare.
Per the chakra budget
7 travel days, 19-4(Kei) = 15 prep days => 52.8 SC XP
Hazou also generates 8 blocks for reading on infusion days (4 days), and no blocks on DoB rest days (he's helping in Dog) except for the first (he's Summoning Cannai and doesn't have the chakra to help Dog) 7 blocks then.
Hazou generates 8 blocks on 4 prep days when Kei takes the FOOM budget
Otherwise he generates 2 blocks on prep days.
Additionally, all blocks must be spent on TH or Medknow, since Mednin isn't available until the end of the update.
Orochimaru's TH notes #8: S: 0, B: 50, R: 0
Orochimaru's MedKnow notes #1: S: 0, B: 100, R: 0
Orochimaru's MedKnow notes #2: S: 0, B: 100, R: 0
Orochimaru's MedKnow notes #3: S: 0, B: 75, R: 0
Orochimaru's MedKnow notes #5: S: 0, B: 12, R: 38
Hazou also spends 3 training blocks to learn mednin, and 4 to scribe seals, in addition during DoB rest days he's helping Dog and no FOOM takes place.

We could make a declare that somebody not critical to our research (So not Hazo, Noburi or Kagome) stayed back with a remote explosive to cover our tracks and then catch up to us afterwards.
... they would also have had to destroy the remote explosive also, which to do safely means they would have had to exhaust the rune by firing it thrice.
Kei was, naturally, worried about leaving the rune behind. Perhaps she could also use the opportunity to spend some quality time with Tenten away from the group. I don't think it would be at all out of character for anybody involved, nor would it really affect the existing timeline.

Our FP is precious now that difficulty checks require them. I would rather not burn a hole in reality and have Kei and Kagome be sad at us.
That's enough running around for a while too. Let's hit the bricks with the research.

Kei solo is what I was thinking, as she can unsummon if needed.

Slight error I spotted:
The rolls reflect the lower number of prep days allocated, but the days were still expended anyways. I can spot only two implications of this: this timeline needs to be adjusted back by three subjective days, and our final infusion would be on day 29 and thus before the bonus FP on day 30.
@Paperclipped If this is correct, why not just do the last day as DoB rest and keep the FP, usually rest days are included
Aww, thanks Kei. Not sure I share your faith though, we've made pretty bad decisions in the past.
It is so, so gratifying to watch Hazou become this great sorcerer, delving into eldritch powers not seen in a thousand years.

@Paperclipped, for purposes of training plan–making, may we put something to the effect of "if SC XP is sufficient, raise CR to 33, otherwise raise to 32"?
It's entirely possible this plan for a slight difference in SC calculation to flip the purchase from within budget to beyond what we can buy, and I don't want to invalidate the entire training plan by accident.
[X] Training Plan (Kei): Pyramid Prep
Cloak of the Wind God 30 -> 40 [355 XP]
Physique 38 -> 39 [39 Pangolin XP]
3 Pangolin XP remaining, 45 XP remaining
[] Training Plan (Noburi): None
I want to leave XP free for Shadow Clone, but I think that leaves us with 100-200 XP to spend, and I could be persuaded to vote for a training plan that does that. Also looks like he can buy Physique 39 with Pangolin XP.

In which we're reminded that Kagome is very good at spotting discrepancies and patterns (a latrine inspection being weird notwithstanding)
Old knowledge reactivating, old spirals coming back? At least he's not screaming or poking at anyone's back with a kunai.
Oof. No doggy
also, hurtySurely she appreciates the irony of how self-defeating that is
Zing! I love his wit when it's not dog puns. I was so excited to see Cannai
...They'll talk about this for years to come, and we shall still hear "never forget Haran Bay" and in the honour of what could have been, we will parade around the small local antelopes that were displaced by the rune's effect, with the familiar call of "dik-diks out for Haran Bay"
How did the early drafts of my Spider-Man fic find their way into this chapter?

You mean a perfect crime? We can weaponise that, right?
Is it weird that I'm partly happy about this? She's still showing trust in Mari. She's following her. She asks for her help with her own psyche. They've both grown so much since their first stint with missing-nin-hood, and yet...
Wayshredder... isn't that Arachnid-gestalt-talk for a Summoner? Interesting choice. Unless I'm mistaken, in which case it's still an interesting name, but calling himself a Summoner of horrors beyond the veil is fun!
YAY
"Sorry, the only way I know how to weaponise this is 'so hard' 😎"
[] Plan Fragment: Research
- No-prep research Air Leadener and Banshee Lover until Air Leadener is complete
- DoB track 1: Ninja Radar -> Explosiver -> Remote Explosiver
- If Explosiver is Hard, try a TN120 version. If that is Hard, end the update
- DoB track 2: Rift-unanchoring -> Rift-kicking
Why not spend her Pangolin XP to buy to 40?
Literally just noticed that and edited it in.

Personally I think we should just wait till we have enough XP to level it to 40 or at least wait till we want to level rw to 50

This is fair, @acidshill it might be worth waiting to buy it to 40 so we can accumulate more Pang XP
Back when Hazo was having Out-vision headaches from SSA, it was what his Out vision used for a Summoning scroll.
Okay, that makes sense. Edited.

@eaglejarl @Velorien @Paperclipped
Does Hazou feel that finishing Ninja Radar will unstagnate him? He made progress on his unstagnation researching Force Dome, did he make progress researching Rift-opener? I assume none of the Easy runes he's been working on will suffice.

So what's the longer-term build plan for Kei?
Are we saving up to move RW straight to the 60s in one move? Saving up to bump Ath 60 RW 50 in one move? Broadening her pyramid to build things up conventionally?
