DO NOT KILL A SINGLE TAPIR!
FOR JASHIN'S SAKE THAT WOULD BE THE WORST IDEA!
Just wall walk up onto the cave roof or something.

It's a bit too late for that; we have explosive traps everywhere (or we should...).
Also eaglejarl is gonna post the next part without our consent so there's no point to talking. May his name be forever sung by the ten thousand Narutards.

Oh, Hazou. Never change.
Oh, Kei. The hell did that guy even do. I had teachers aplenty, but none I would defend to this extent. Not to mention, daily meetings or no, she knew him for what, 6 weeks? :\ What does he feed her, at his place.
Oh, Kagome
If we ever have a sealing accident, I hope it's something along these lines ^^Thanks, Yuno. We all appreciate you not ripping Nobby's
Right. But what?
And there we have it. That thing, sudden yet inevitable. I don't think anyone is surprised Takahashi is playing both sides, better hope we come out on top.
Perceptive. Noburi really is getting the hang of the whole 'people' thing. I'm glad he acknowledges the problems with Yuno.
Do we not have a kill-zone established in front of the cave? We had one around camp. You'd think the tapirs would turn to burned meat.
I guess Hazou could try raising MEW perimeter, to spare the poor poor animals?

If they're busting down trees, I doubt MEW would give them much more trouble.

It's less "without your consent" and more "y'all have already discussed the preparations for this moment, so why waste your time?"
You do, yes. There are posts with Kagome's Force Wall seals, explosive seals, etc. There is also a notional fence (some stakes + twine with bits of visible cloth) marking where the danger zone starts, so that kids do not wander in and kill themselves. The inside of the cave, especially the entryway, is where the bulk of the defenses are, though.

Dunno. We can make those walls pretty thick, and we don't need to make them tall to stop tapirs. They can't jump. Or can they.
Unless those trees are like ancient great chakra-enhanced trees wider than Hazou is tall, "busted trees" doesn't sound that scary.
Noburi has Syrup Trap now. That could substantially slow the stampede. Combined with MEW we could bring it to a halt depending on the stopping distance.

Welllll.....none of our plans involve Syrup Trap since we weren't sure we'd get it. Maybe we could push the plan to assume these sorts of things are used?

I'll assume you do smart things.
I'm really looking forward to writing this; I haven't gotten to write any fight scenes in forever. Also, we're about 150,000 words into this story and we haven't killed even one party member! The other GMs in my circle have been laughing at me. We'll see who's laughing now!!!!!1!11!!!!

Well, this isnt really a problem if we take the scroll and leave immediately.
We do need to discuss Yuno. My empathetic side recognizes that she would be destroyed if Noburi ditched her. She really is more Sinon from SAO than the Yuno Gasai from Future Diary in regards to her backstory. She is more emotionally balanced and good-hearted than she should be, and the murder boner I was scared of may be stronger than the average ninja, but not crazy strong. She isn't a bad person.
Additionally, she seems to have ~16 Weapons dice, meaning she is pretty much already at our skill level, so no Akane period of catch-up. The crew becomes even more powerful in combat with a melee weapons user who is vicious and would defend Noburi to the death.
On the flip side, her ostracized life in this conservative religious village will make Infiltration and general team chemistry more difficult. Inoue is probably capable of this, but it makes telling Jiraiya about Hidden Mountain rather more awkward.
Dammit, I wish we could've talked to Takahashi about setting up a negotiation with Jiraiya.

Debatable. For all we know, she has Awareness 5 and TacMove 3 or something. There's more to ninja than spleen busting.

UGGGH I HATE POLITICAL BULLSHIT
Ok there's two things we need to do in order to avoid shitstorms: avoid killing tapirs and avoid being found guilty of whatever "caused" them to attack.
The first: Syrup Trap and MEW to trap tapirs and raise us above the tapirs. A rocky platform can't be broken by them if their patrol couldn't topple trees and they won't be crazy enough to deliberately suicide to our explosives.
The second: we deny and let them vote. Since we're the majority we should be fine.
Problem: What if they killed a tapir and blamed it on us?

That was the exact moment when Hazou secrectly began making a list using his Iron Nerve muscle tensing code.

It's really unfortunate that this is already upon us, we can't make a plan that explicitly deals with us preparing the night before (in which I wanted to find some way to be impossible to find the whole night), and we can't make a battle plan for this attack.

If they could've done that, they would've, I think. Just shank one and leave on our doorstep, for shocked guards to find come morning. But tapir are pretty much holy around here, so I suspect pushing them into us deliberately is the closest they can get to killing them.
We're not majority here, and we should not rely on our ability to reason with these people.
I mean, if it works? Great. But we should assume it won't.
I actually like that things are out of our hands (for) now? It's.. liberating.
