Marked for Death: A Rational Naruto Quest

Ah, thank you. That'll teach me to read the updates but not the discussion. Going to read it again now.

As a general rule, if you see something on the Internet that has clusters of seemingly-random letters spaced in a way that seems consistent with English text, try running it through ROT13. It's a common usage for "here is a spoiler" or "this represents in-universe encrypted text" etc.

I will keep that in mind.

I've had a long interest in the various weird dialects and accents of France during the Middle Ages and before Jules Ferry came around, so the idea that "the PCs can't understand people from three valleys over" made perfect sense to me. I interpreted that interlude as a "fuck you for asking for an overambitious intel-gathering plan" from the QMs. Oops.

as well as a secret tunnel that comes up outside the walls of Leaf and contains a number of locked and barred gates down its length, as well as concealed pits and multiple sets of support beams with "PLACE EXPLOSIVE TAG HERE TO CAUSE COLLAPSE" painted on them

Holy hell, that's convenient — we don't even have to prepare an extraction strategy in case Hiashi wins!

The exact number of subbasement levels is unknown, and it may be best left that way, since not even the ANBU wanted to go too deep.

Once we run out of Kagome Lore I vote we go exploring. I bet there's some good loot rotting away.

If you manage to figure out what these revenues are and how to get at them, and if he hasn't bequeathed them to Naruto or someone else, then you'll be in better shape than you are.

I think I've figured out what Kagome should really be doing. Should ask Naruto first, though.

Indeed.

In fact, I played a bunch of JRPGs where going deeper in the local starter dungeon after you level up a bit in the story is pretty common.

Oh, right, I've self-assigned myself the task of selecting creative training ideas.

Does that look fine?

Please don't do #7 (Draw a map of Leaf from scratch. The map should show all roads and places of interest.) except in a private, secure area.

I added "Keep OPSEC in mind", is that fine?

Mimic the personality, style of speech, and body language of some other person (Mari/Noburi/Sakura/...) in all social interactions.

Right. So. I know I proposed this one. But please add something to the effect of "excluding interactions with Kagome/ANBU/Clan Heads/etc." because that could seriously fuck us.

Imagine Kagome's reaction to "Hazou's acting like Ino".

I for one cannot wait for Hazou to emulate Mari by awkwardly trying to seduce and manipulate random strangers while at the same time avoiding every single water source on the way. Bonus points for moping in his internal thoughts.

Roomba was right.

You may conduct up to 1 Ami-style training session per IC day. This will earn you 1 bonus XP. QMs may rule a a particular session impossible to carry out due to external constraints (including, but not limited to, time and stamina), or ineffective for whatever reason (including being boring and thus not representing a sufficient improvement over standard downtime training). A failed training session will use up as much time as a successful one.

Would we be able to get a crappy MSpaint map of the estate with a scale and maybe some info on where it fits in to greater Leaf Village so that we can assist you in figuring out the pricing there / know what we're dealing with here?
