That was about the effect I was going for, yes. Also is a reference, but mostly that.

Yes. Funny. That is the word I was searching for...

If that happens, I'll probably care enough to read the rules so our new characters can have all the exploits.
I'm half expecting a Total Exam Kill, actually.

Conveniently, the plan calls for placing the fort at the edge of the swamp, so when shit goes to hell, we can get out.
(Enter THE ENTIRE LOVECRAFT MYTHOS stage right.)

- Yes.
Slightly back on topic: we still should try to figure out what Pangolins (4)/Pangolin jutsu (1) Keiko will get. There's been talk about Communications Pangolins, Defensive Pangolin, Long-ranged Pangolin, Melee Pangolin, Technique Hacking Pangolin, Buffing Pangolins; and I think we were thinking about Defend the Log as a jutsu?
Still, discussion has been sparse, and we have some time before @eaglejarl updates. What are your thoughts about this?

Genjutsu Pangolin would be nice.
- Location
- Yes.
I'm throwing out jutsu that were thrown out. Personally I'd rather not get Defend the Log; I'd rather get +Alertness (Accurate Snout) or +Stealth (Pangolin Camouflage?). Or even that Water Release jutsu for Noburi; Jiraiya and Mari-sensei expressed interest in that jutsu IIRC and Noburi could use a long-ranged jutsu.
Oh, yeah, that would be good. With Mari not actively on missions with us anymore, we could use a genjutsu specialist.
- Location
- Yes.
Poor Sakura
But yes, I agree. I'm all for a Communications, Genjutsu, Buffing, and either a long-ranged specialist or a defensive specialist.

I'm pretty sure THE Panchipama is a defensive specialist.Poor Sakura
But yes, I agree. I'm all for a Communications, Genjutsu, Buffing, and either a long-ranged specialist or a defensive specialist.
- Location
- Yes.
I mean...I'd like my defensive specialist to have some way of protecting allies without being a meat tank. Like if they had some sort of ranged defensive jutsu or something.

We don't actually know what any of Kei's pangolin can do though.
- Location
- Yes.
That makes me sad. I am sad.We don't actually know what any of Kei's pangolin can do though.

Yeah, same. You'd think with several months of time spent with them we'd have some idea.
I mean... they seem to be good at Murderball no Jutsu?
- Location
- Yes.
It's too bad we can't just have them murderball everything here

On an unrelated note, I was thinking about the chapter where Kagome talks about Akatsuki (153), and is that supposed be a kind of fourth wall breaking joke? As in, are we supposed to seriously accept he said all that? Because some of the things he knows he couldn't possibly have learned before his defection, the timeline just doesn't make any sense.

What are you talking about, specifically? I mean, yes, he said all of those things in seriousness. I'm just confused as to what you think he couldn't have possibly learned, given that this is an AU?
