En masse, no. Doesn't invalidate the safety measure, though.
I don't think such an attack is probable: I don't think anyone present has the ability or chakra capacity or even the knowledge to cast a multiple zones ranged water jutsu.
We kinda were supposed to die early. The QMs made this a deathworld and made our particular situation one where we'd most likely die really early. Instead, we surprised them by defying all odds and keeping our original character this far. That's interesting in and of itself, in my opinion.
In the ex-canon chapter, Ino mind-dived us and saw what she described as an 'Abberant personality manifold'. Such things are extremely rare but not unknown in the ninja world, apparently, but seem to be more of an intellectual curiosity than anything else. However, that chapter is ex-canon so the QMs are not beholden to anything within it, so if we ever get mind-dived by a Yamanaka for real, they may find the same thing or something completely different, depending on what the QMs decide.Or, if a Yamanaka (Ino?) got a peek at our... secret chamber.
Yes. I spent some time thinking about our playing strategy as well, and I would highly enjoy doing exactly this, abandoning the pretence of a fair play in favour of duelling the Sage & Dummy1, possibly by deliberately and purposefully burning through hosts.
Word Count: 529
[X] (defenses) Layers of Rocket Tag
General:
- Tactical decisions (Target priority,squad makeup, etc.) ultimately left to IC judgement.
- This plan is a framework to work around.
- Keiko runs everything through Frozen Skein.
- Hazou makes seals as needed.
Politics:
- Nara ensures Hyuga doesn't join in attack
- Updates us during rest day on new info if necessary/possible.
- Don't burn bridges with the speech, if possible.
- Effective yet mildly tactful, please.
Physical:
- Convince teammates to donate chakra
- Internal Defenses:
- FSB'd MEW base (preventing tunnelers) and panels reinforcing key spots.
- External defenses:
- 4 zones cleared in each direction with explosives
- First zone -- primary ranged attack station -- create LOS blocking cover (Counter:Lightning Pillar aim) with stacked logs/branches.
- Second - fourth zones -- field of traps with a safe path snaking around.
- Separate zones with border of walls/abattisses from downed foliage.
- Conventional traps as prepared by Paneru.
- Nonlethal AOE seals and fake seals throughout field.
- Safe path is bordered by trap field.
- Goes through one gap in each layer's border.
- Has an outward facing LBF-ed Air Dome at each layer's entrance (covers retreat, obstacle to enemies).
- Snakes around to add a few zones of length.
- Set up dirt ramps facing outwards in layer 2 for ranged "Sniper Nests".
- Protected by trap field.
- Ranged ninja know how to move through traps here..
- Prepare a LBF-ed Air Domes in Sniper Nests.
- Purpose: Emergency cover.
- Possibly use force walls as well-- but take down before retreating.
- Pangolins dig underground ring around facility to catch tunnelers. Trap it.
- Prepare an emergency exit through traps.
- Perhaps a path of fake traps(blend in with real traps).
- Consider: Goo Bomb Pitfall trapped area at key choke point.
- Tile an area with the above trap design.
- Attach LBFs and Goo Bombs underneath as ammo.
- Tie individual trip cords to one large trip cord(simultaneous activation).
- Put a thin layer of dirt for camouflage.
- Detonate early if someone has contextual reason to believe it is dangerous in a given scenario.
- Suggest:Test first in 7th path (rest day) if possible. If not, quick test on field, time permitting.
- Suggest: May synergize very well with the first retreat Air Dome (mentioned above). Use right after the dome goes off?
- Strategy
- Above ground squad (Pandamonium, Pandojuru, ninja)
- Pepper enemies with ranged attacks and brief bouts of CQC (Pangolins help with buffs and ranged)
- CQC is ideally to happen at the entrance to each layer.
- Retreat layer by layer back to the facility.
- Ranged is at layer 2, then retreats to layer 1 when appropriate.
- They cover the CQC retreats; do their own when appropriate.
- Underground squad (Panashe, Pankurashun, Noburi(?), ninja)
- Counter tunneling attack, capture and drain.
- Ambush above ground attackers from below afterwards (back lines).
- Priority targets: Wakahisa, Hazama, etc.
- Do not get pinned down.
- Contingencies:
- Prioritize closer layers of traps
- If pinned down (at facility or otherwise):"non-lethally Kagome out".
- If overrun at facility: try to escape underground. Failing that: "non-lethally Kagome out".
- Intent: Abandon facility, come around the back of the assault force, adopt standard Uplift Siege tactics where appropriate (as in Round 1).
- If someone tries to circumvent defenses: Quickly counter with appropriate ranged attacks
- Goo bomb trap the lockbox.
Just have current host make a dead drop with all information somewhere, then incidentally lead our next host to it. They don't need to know what they're doing.
"Shallow Anti-flood trenches." seems okay?
Mehhhhhhhh not sufficient enough for me.
Why don't we just open with an Implosion Seal or Youthenizer tossed up high into the air above the battlefield?
Perfect! Thanks.
Counterpoint:
What's the joke? Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
So mote it be.
Mechanically speaking I would consider being outnumbered 2:1 or even 3:1 Bad odds, at least.
