As much as I appreciate the sentiment, it's not actually that close to deadline; to my knowledge we still have twelve-ish hours.

[X] Action Plan: Lizardbreath quest, Would Hazou Do That To You?
@1234qwerty Is there a reason to have chakra water in the summon realm rather than just giving it to Kei to have on her?

1. It would make total sense. Our team is a Sage project. It explains why Hazou has a hive mind!
2. Also, yes. It would be amusing.

I'm also going to sleep soon, will check the thread again before the deadline in case of some sudden crisis. And to be honest, the plan is already ~400 words long and I don't want to overload it with execution detail that in my view is better left to the characters.

Yeah, you have to go back and invalidate your previous vote (such as putting strikethrough through it or just plain deleting it) to cancel it. Luckily your username for a vote in tallybot is a link to your vote, so you can just get to it from there.

Did the earlier quote answer your questions? (Thank you, folks, for answering so many of these things for us!)
I'm sure you asked Kagome at some point. @faflec, how did Kagome respond?
You don't know.
I wish that still worked. I tried to convince them to add that feature to the site's tallybot but it was not to be.

- Yes.
Kagome realized that implementing the suggestion would turn anyone into a QM, and proceed to become KAGOME, BENEVOLENT SAVIOR OF THE QUEST.

So that's why explosions are so frequently involved in our plans...

I appreciate that you took the time to reply. I really do.
Real Talk here, though: how is it helpful for a QM to go "you don't know" rather than just answering?
From all I can see you could very easily just say "around the same as Akane's" or "significantly better than Akane's" or "in the single digits" or the like. Withholding this kind of information during the course of planning seems counterproductive.
This is the kind of information our party can plausibly have already known, or plausibly find out in relatively trivial timescales. Even if they couldn't—and as it turns out it takes some amount of effort to find out how good Panache is at Cracking—the question/process of discovery is not very interesting. What's more this kind of precedent encourages nauseatingly detailed "be sure to find out, in detail, Allied Character X's capabilities, equipment, allergies, and favorite color next during lunch"-style entries in plans.

Yes, they answered my questions just fine. Unfortunately, it seems like my idea was unworkable. Long range echolocation really doesn't work out of the water, because high frequency sounds attenuate really fast. Something like 220+ decibels per kilometer at frequencies that could plausibly be used for echolocation.
I wanted to use it for watching the skies over Konoha, but it would need to hit the top of the troposphere at a bare minimum, and unless this planet doesn't look like Earth, that would be about 20km. I'm pretty sure 4000 db would destroy the solar system, so even if we could do it, we shouldn't.
I might look into if something like this could be combined with seals and chakra nonsense to detect skywalkers.

Well, in honesty? We don't actually have a way to reasonably compare their skill levels. We only got Panache as a summon recently, and no one else in the party is really good enough to judge effectively whether Akane or Panache is better at a skill the latter has never had reason to use in our presence.
That said... It is something to be careful of in the future.

There might be one reason to take Akane instead of/in addition to Keiko, which is that Akane can set the traps back up after Panashe disables them.

We'd have to find her first, leaving our client relatively-undefended during daylight hours.
