Well that's why we have the contingency of defensive fighting to stall for time until we can get our allies back up so that if the talking doesn't work we always have something to fall back on. Besides it's not like it costs us anything to try and talk with him to stall for time.

I disagree. I think Yammar can recognize stalling and will go straight into a beatdown. Now is the time for decisive action. I mean the time for decisive action started 5 turns ago to be honest, it's just proved less decisive than we'd have liked.
 
But we also researched Seers in setting, and "inducing a Vision" never came up as a skill.
I do not say it is impossible, but I think it extremely improbable, I also do not think fighting Yammar will succeed.
Yes, but as has been established our teacher and potentially all materials are suspect because DANDEER.

Whose to say what Seer's can and can't do, because our teacher's potentially been a puppet with a hand up his ass for years.

Sigh

This is hyperbole, since we wouldn't have gotten this far if this were the case, but still. We have no way of establishing when Carrick was taken over and whether or not he's been sabotaging our education, for all we know the fact that we couldn't see more than once a day was a deliberate thing on all Seers for their own safety so they don't see too much, maybe Kakara is a mutant and is just plain better. We dunno, rule book went out the ****ing window.

His cold reading skills should have failed him at least once during this fight when we grabbed Dandeers tail and his at a really big disadvantage on calling our bluff if it is a bluff so the odds are strongly in our favor for this working out.

Well at least we survived this fight besides this is the worst case scenario that has at least three contingencies all of which swing strongly in our favor before it can even happen which is much better odds then trying to fight him without the Dandeer flail which worked against a much more skilled melee combatant already.
Why he wasn't paying any attention to us when we grabbed her tail he was too busy turning Apra into a fine red mist.

We've had plenty of contingencies and our worst case scenarios were meant to be greaaaaat.

Look at it now everything's on fire and covered in ****.

my general qualities deteriorating time for zz
 
And, if, say, the vision is about the only actual path to victory?
Well if Poptart had the only solution locked behind an option that has had immense suspicion cast on it over the course of the past few turns, I'd feel somewhat miffed.

EDIT: Also preemptively let's avoid salt here until we've actually lost, because I think we can definitely still pull this back.

I have to admit to feeling massive amounts of of salt right now about the vote to bean Jaffur for the sake of drama.
Honestly I feel quite a large amount of salt about releasing Jaffur in the first place.

"Oh he's meant to be super badass..." does what exactly? The first time he's been useful so far has been knocking out his dad and that's how long into this **** show? Hell his coordination seems to have been a debuff...not necessarily bad mind you since he may have killed Dandeer, but still it did lead to him being knocked out rather than being useful.

If that were a viable option surely we'd have tried that already?

to be fair we were really unlucky. Though i would have preferred going for Vegeta.
Okay, so the bare bones of a plan:

[ ]Plan Sneaky Beany
-[ ] Take another bean, get back up, and try to sneak a Senzu bean down Apra's throat with Telekinesis without Yammar noticing.
--[ ] Try and distract Yammar with banter. You're genuinely curious, what's it like being mind-controlled from his perspective? Are is priorities completely changed, can he recognise what's been done to him, or what?
---[ ] If a fight breaks out, try and stall until you get a bean into Apra.
can't we use a bean already on Apra's person? she should have a few.
Other than that i like this plan a lot.

Wait, actually, since he was foolish enough to leave us out of sight:

[ ] Plan Sneaky Sneaky Beany
-[ ] Take another bean and IT to Dandeer before Yammar realises you're up again. You'll grab her and use her as a flail again!
--[ ] Try to get a Senzu Bean to Jaffur/Apra whilst defending yourself with Dandeer.

We can probably get to Dandeer before Yammar even realises we're up again, if he can't see us bring our fingers to our forehead!
If he can't see us this might work. We might even say something to distract him further first. Maybe a "You win, i surrender" -zip- "or not" :p

Or, and hear me out, he might be that much better than us. We've been seriously slacking at combat training. We've also never won a legit fair fight, pretty sure. Certainly not with one of the warrior lords/patriarchs/matriarchs/etc.
What is this "fair fight" you speak of?
If it's more important than winning this fight - which I doubt - it will be "relevant" after the fight and we can go looking for a vision then. If it's about the fight, it's unlikely to be better than just ITing to Dandeer from where he can't see us. If it's less important than the fight or a trap, we don't want to take it.

In all circumstances I can think of, taking the vision is the inferior choice.
unless we could take the vision WHILE talking. I'm not sure if we can, but it's an idea.
:p
 
And, if, say, the vision is about the only actual path to victory?
I don't even know what that would look like. That's such wild speculation I genuinely can't think of what contingency Dandeer could have had that beating Yammar or getting our allies back up won't defeat, that doesn't just mean we lose automatically anyway.

I'm not quite arrogant enough to say no such contingency exists, but we're entering into realms of so-unlikely-it's-not-worth-bothering-with, like having the Enemy locate us right this instant.

On the other hand, it might be Gohan trying to give us a fight-winning option. We just can't tell.
I'm pretty sure the subverted Seer who was feeding Dandeer information up until literal seconds ago is a more likely culprit than Gohan, who has never sent us a vision before even during crucial moments like the Dazarel fight.

Even if he recognized the stalling immediately like before we even opened our mouth to begin stalling it changes nothing it just means we've lost the chance to delay fighting Yammar longer well we get Senzu beans to our allies so we have no reason not to go through with this.

He's not deaf he should of at least heard our dad or Dandeer herself if not seen Dandeer at some point during his long fight so odds our he saw what we did.

Just because some contingencies didn't work once in the past doesn't mean you just throw out contingencies as a concept all together out the window and so far it has far more going for it then against it especially since you've proposed trying to fight Yammar some one who decisively outclasses in fighting to a ludicrous degree in a head on defensive fight.

The monkey in my hind-brain really wants to use the flail again, but I'm worried about being intercepted while feeding someone a bean. Combination of this and the TK bean?
 
Sleepy droppy offy idea.

How quickly would the Hall's ward's snap if we went SS2 right here and now?

Could we beat Yammar like a drum and drop out of SS2 before the wards went kaput?

Probably not, so lets file that under last resort.

Though running away with Dandeer is probably still our best option, Yammar can't keep up ya know.

Again disagree, talking is a two-way street and it gives him the opportunity to figure out our plan. Not seeing enough of a reward out of it with the potential risk.

Who says anything about a contingency?

The current plans of "TK a bean into an allies mouth and get them to swallow through TK(because they're unconscious) and "IT to Dandeer" relies on the premise that Yammar won't notice or counter.

Like, Dandeer hostage worked against Berra, but Yammar might very well just punch through her while shoving a Senzu Bean into her mouth and forcing it down. Or hold our allies hostage in return.

...How could he possibly figure out our plan when triggers for willpower checks would have nothing to do with feeding senzu beans to our allies in the current situation? Unless your saying that not fighting him means he'll be paying more attention to his surroundings meaning he has a higher chance of spotting us using TK on senzu beans to which my reply would be the willpower checks he has to keep taking should provide a distraction to help with that.

Imma level with you LagsAlot, I don't think Yammar's the kind of person who pays attention to his enemy talking when he isn't mind controlled. Or takes what the person is saying seriously at least.

IT to Dandeer should work as long as we do it well still in the rubble since Yammar would have no possible way of seeing us raise our fingers to our forehead meaning that he can't possibly counter it and from there we can use to the Dandeer flail to make the TK beans into allies mouth and make them swallow more successful by forcing Yammar to talk or fight us which even if he gets his hands on Dandeer is still to our advantage since he'll have to take the time to feed Dandeer a senzu bean giving us more time to TK beans to our allies and he'll have to protect her well fighting us.

There's only so much he can ignore when you literally force memories of Dandeer massacring the clan Vegeta's sorcerers on him through a telepathy link.

Not deaf just in a life or death situation and trying very hard to kill grama.

I mean come on he beat her because she looked around to see what had happened, if he'd done that with Dandeer she'd hopefully have the skills to punish him for that.

Contingencies work when the scenario is still roughly in the shape they were designed for. They don't work now because the situation changes too rapidly. We had loads of contingencies for Dandeer mind controlling Vegeta or Berra as I recall, none for both and Yammar (something I'm still irritated at).

We can make as many as we want, but when the next thing flips the table they'll be all useless...again.

I've got to go to bed so I'm not continuing this conversation from lack of consciousness.

Why couldn't he keep up? And if we get Dandeer, why is this a better option than using her as a meatshield again? It worked so well last time!
Because we can teleport he can't.

He's Vegetan right they don't know instant transmission?

IT out of the hall (didn't we do that once? Eh if not then IT to the entrance), then IT in a random pattern, if we think he can't get into the Senzu hall go there. Stall like hell until one or more of our fellows wake up.

Yammar can't notice us ITing to Dandeer because he can't see the visual cue we're about to IT, due to the rubble.

Both Berra and Yammar currently despise Dandeer, and are only fighting due to Mind Control. If Yammar was willing o punch through Dandeer, Berra would have been.

Are you just playing Devil's Advocate here, or do you really think it's more likely this is a vision that will win us this fight than it is that Carrick - who has suddenly found Dandeer, who he was warning, is unconscious - is trying to trap us in a vision during a fight?

Like, even if this was a super important vision, I'm pretty sure it would incapacitate us long enough Yammar could KO us unopposed. We could only go for a vision in the Dazarel fight because the other 3 were distracting him.

Leading him into an ambush is the potential good. If anyone can come up with people outside of the misfits that could turn the tide, suggestions are welcome.
There are no people on the planet relevant to an SSJ fight except the other SSJs, sufficiently prepared Master Sorcerers, and apparently traitorous Seers. At their PL, the Misfits are completely irrelevant - they're all weaker than a Saiyan warrior.

Because we can teleport he can't.

He's Vegetan right they don't know instant transmission?
It's not a Gokun-only technique, Jaffur knows it. It's just the Senzus who didn't know it.

Alright even if he didn't see Kakara grab Dandeers tail and he some how manages to take Dandelor from us we still held the advantage for the time we had her and let me refer you to the rest of my argument on this:
IT to Dandeer should work as long as we do it well still in the rubble since Yammar would have no possible way of seeing us raise our fingers to our forehead meaning that he can't possibly counter it and from there we can use to the Dandeer flail to make the TK beans into allies mouth and make them swallow more successful by forcing Yammar to talk or fight us which even if he gets his hands on Dandeer is still to our advantage since he'll have to take the time to feed Dandeer a senzu bean giving us more time to TK beans to our allies and he'll have to protect her well fighting us.
 
Well, looks like we're all mostly in agreement about TP'ing to dandeer. Our options are as follows:

1) Bail out.
Pros: Get to change the arena to an area that suits us, potential for ambush.
Cons: Could get intercepted while trying to flee.

2) Flail up.
Pros: Effective distraction technique, buys time, keeps Yammar from attacking, hilarious.
Cons: We've done it before, and Yammar might work around it.

3)TK Bean.
Pros: Subtle, sneaky, gets allies back in the fight.
Cons: Requires a lot of focus, and we'd still need to wait for the person we heal to get back up.

EDIT:

4) Multiform trickery+Ki manipulation
Get an additional body to work with that Yammar might not notice.
Pros: Free set of hands, chance to make stalling viable.
Cons: Weakens our actual fighting strength.
Seers and bullshit

We have a vision knocking.
Pros: Could be the answer to all our troubles
Cons: Could be a distraction, Might not be answer to all our troubles, Yammar will probably might K.O. us.

Also, Yammar may be receiving help from Carrack, which would make all of the above for naught.

Ok, here is a crazy idea. What if... we do a willpower push. Since we have a +44 to that.

Alternatively, we steal a page out of Vegeta's book, we pretend to still be wounded using ki control even after healing, pop a multiform while having it hide its ki and have it go Oozaru so that we have one body at FPSS and another at oozaru then share the energy.

IT works since we are buried in rubble so he can't see the motion too.

Well, first off, was it actually said he can't see us? And even if he can't, he can still sense us though, and moving will likely shift the rubble. Not to mention that there'll be a brief period where we're lunging to grab Dandeer that we're open.

And the biggest issue is the whole idea of TK-ing beans into their mouth and making them swallow. Especially while distracted.

And I wasn't suggesting Yammar would be willing to harm Dandeer because of hatred, but because he's ruthless.

And yes, I suspect the vision would be helpful.

As for incapacitating us, Yammar could do that right now, no need to wait. So I suspect he's unsure of our status.
 
You come to after a moment's blackout, buried in rubble. You feel Yammar, still above, waiting.
(emphasis mine)

"I see you managed to feed yourself a Senzu bean," says Yammar, slowly approaching you. "Impressive. Here I'd thought my son had put you out of the fight for good."

Your fingers curl into fists, and you growl in the back of your throat. "How?"

He comes to a halt a few yards away, transformed. He gives you a cold smile. "Apra never did have enough focus for proper combat. When she heard Jaffur panicking, she had to see what happened, and when she saw you..." He chuckles. "Well, she'll wake up eventually."
Communication [Yammar vs. Kakara]: 146 vs. 129.

You see red and lunge forward with a hoarse scream, transforming.

Yammar phases back and skips up into the air, outright laughing now. "Oh, already? But I haven't even told you how I beat my grandson, yet!"

Yammar is obviously enjoying gloating and/or toying with us. I wouldn't take it as a given that he'll KO us if we decide to take the vision, or that he'll go straight into beatdown mode if we start trying to stall while trying to TK a bean to Jaffur.
 
OK Tentative plan time
[ ]Plan Have you ever watched an anime called Naruto?
-[ ] While in the rubble, use multiform, and use ki-manipulation to hide said multiform.
--[ ] Body one tp's to Dandeer, starts using her as a flail to distract Yammar.
--[ ]Body two tk's a bean into the mouths of our allies.

Potentially:
--[ ]Body three starts telepathically yelling to block seer communication to Yammar.
or
--[ ]Body three takes the vision.

We're literally buried in rubble - he can probably sense us, but not see us, and vice versa.

So what if we shift the rubble? He can't see us bring our hand to our face. He's exytemely unlikely to guess we're ITing.

I kind of gave up on the stealth-TK thing, it seemed impractical compared to just ITing.

I don't think Yammar and Berra are capable of being that ruthless towards Dandeer whilst controlled.

I find the vision extremely suspicious, and I can't see why you don't.

There's a difference vetween staying doen a few seconds and staying down for 20 seconds to a minute in a fight. And that's if it is a genuine vision - I'd expect Carrick could hold us for longer.

EDIT: Given Yammar has his own beans and we know he's specced into outlasting his opponent and enduring hits (from the Dazarel fight) I think he's content to just fight us to exhaustion. He knows in a straight-up fight we'll run out of veans before him.
