Marked for Death: A Rational Naruto Quest

Reader mode
So, the best plan I've come up with to beat Keiko is either grappling her or putting a net in a storage seal/Macerator mk1 and entangling her.
 
Combat:
  • Goal: Entangle/grapple Keiko
  • Loss condition/Surrender state: Get Moderate Consequence
  • Utilize net (purchase from chakra-fishermen, if one isn't already in Hazou's misc gear) if possible with macerators to keep her immobile long enough to slap an (inactive) explosive seal on her back and declare her toast
  • If not possible grapple her (*wince*) and keep her pinned. The moment she surrenders, let her up ASAP.
 
...uh. @faflec What's a hybrid seal? If it's storage seal + explosive seal, uh, maybe we should consider not using untested seal combinations on the international stage against Keiko?

Untested? It's Kagome's method for using stupid boxes (destroy the storage seal from ranged and release the box).

...eh, I'll make a note to not use it if it seems an unsafe seal combination.

Edit: Done.

Word count: 299
  • Pre-match preparations:
    • Watch/cheer for ISC's matches.
    • Make several hybrid seals (an explosive seal safely attached to a storage seal, containing a boulder/log). Don't use if unsafe seal combo.
    • Stuff some of your smelly clothes into a small, accessible sack. This can obfuscate our scent and mess with Pangolin tracking.
    • Discuss with Keiko:
      • The possibility of either of us yielding if either of us go past Mild Consequences, since if we KO her it might get out that Pangolins go away if Keiko is KO'd.
      • Us mutually agreeing to not abuse Substitution privileges, since we don't want to revoke in case of in-match emergency.
  • Battle:
    • General: Stay out of sight as possible.
    • R1:
      • Supplemental: Substitute into SE Zone.
      • Standard: HLaM. Go underground. Go into SW Wall Zone.
      • Supplemental + Free: Palm some smelly clothes, and drop them (underground).
    • R2:
      • Supplemental: Move aboveground and get information on Keiko's actions/location.
      • Standard: Living Roots.
      • Supplemental: Go back underground.
      • HLaM (Move): Move towards Keiko's Zone. Stick to the walls as possible.
    • R3 onwards:
      • Continue using HLaM to Move underground until in Keiko's Zone.
      • Spend other actions on palming + dropping smelly clothes (underground).
    • Round finale:
      • HLaM: Emerge aboveground.
      • Supplemental: Pantokrator's Hammer.
      • Supplemental: Equip Pangolin Gauntlets.
      • Standard: Punch.
    • Contingencies:
      • Pangaya: Activate + throw a hybrid seal at Keiko, let Pangaya redirect it at her, let the explosive + oversized object Dispel her.
      • CQC Summon: Keep Summon between Keiko/Hazou, blow it up with explosives while going underground to dodge it, Substitute with an object to get closer to Keiko...
      • Pangolin going underground: Alpha blitz Keiko.
      • Keiko riding Pangolin: Consider ranged options (SotE, hybrid seals, traps?).
      • Some crazy bullshit we can't beat. Go full defense, try to outlast Keiko's Pangolin. Then punch.
      • Be willing to use Macerators IFF we can disguise its use as a storage seal.

Ah titty sprinkles we should have tried to do something with blindfighting.

  • Pre-match preparations:
    • Watch/cheer for ISC's matches.

    • Stuff some of your smelly clothes into a small, readily accessible sack. This may serve to obfuscate our scent and mess with Pangolin tracking.
    • Discuss with Keiko:
      • The possibility of either of us yielding if either of us go past Mild Consequences, since if we KO her it might get out that Pangolins go away if Keiko is KO'd.

      • Floating Standard action to be used as circumstances dictate
    • R2:
      • Close in and fire Macerator-Net at Keiko [supplemental to close, supplemental to activate macerator, supplemental to punch it at her]
    • R3:
      • If successful, use discretion to choose between punching and applying inactive explosives
      • If unsuccessful (Pangolin intercession, etc.), attempt to get in melee with her and grapple (Sorry, Kei) to submission.

Eh.....I don't think it'll affect Pangolins all that much. And we kinda suck with blindfight, I think we have 2 Alertness or something while moving.

I forgot that Keiko has Echolocation.

Ah well.

RIP.
 
Alright, now that there is no chance I accidentally bring about the outcome I don't want:

I have an interesting idea on how we could defeat Keiko, based on @MadScientist's observation that our Deceit is much higher than hers.

In general: We could cause Keiko to surrender by making her think that we are about to cause an unrecoverable OPSEC breach of international proportions. Come up with some strategy that ends in us winning through the use of a classified tool, start enacting it, draw it out (letting Keiko deduce it), then ensure that the only way she could stop us sufficiently fast is immediate tap out.

Specifics may differ; I'm not a tactician. Directional explosives? Poor Man's Yellow Flash? Blatant macerator usage? More armor? Skywalkers? Whatever works best.
​
Do you think this may have worked?
