[X] Contigency Plan: Secret Tunnel Through Hidden Mountain
Word Count: 284
- Immediate:
- Summon Panashe and Panjandrum
- Mari summon 4 water clones
- Noburi refill both
- Deploy Misterators
- Equip skywalkers, don't use without Mari's approval. Equip banshee slayers
- Panjandrum
- Approach ambushers, be friendly and boisterous. Ask them what their business is at this hour, as Keiko is sleeping
- Water clones sneakily try to reach Takahashi and warn him (but actually it's a distraction)
- Panashe
- Be advised: the enemy may have Earth jutsu, including an Earthquake jutsu. If you detect instability, we can stabilize with seals.
- Tunnel straight towards wilderness for 100 feet. Team, flood the tunnel with Misterators to obscure vision.
- Noburi, drain and keep everyone updated on number of combatants, distance to party, and size of chakra pool.
- Mari stand in back to intercept potential jonin factor.
- If a group is getting too close, Mari use a powerful ranged ninjutsu, then block off the passage with an air dome.
- After 100 feet, turn sharply, tunnel towards main Kannagi estate.
- If Panashe can, telepathically tell Kannagi "We are under attack in the Guest Cottage. Please notify Takahashi."
- If not, summon Panda and tell him to burrow himself up and notify the Kannagi the Guest Cottage is under attack, then dispel himself.
- Keiko
- Summon additional burrower. Split off from Panashe, seal off passage behind us, use burrower, air domes, and other seals to create underground bunker.
- Attach Misterator to Panashe, have Panashe continue burrowing toward the center of Isan, making misty tunnel trail.
- Send Panda back up to check. If help has not arrived within 15 minutes:
- Burrow up as fast as possible, throw Misterators, flashbangs, and Banshees, then skywalk straight up, out of sight, establish secure skybase. Before morning comes, send a shadow clone to update Takahashi.

Our well-being is paramount and our top priority.
Fast scouting/prep (in conjunction with our response strategy):
- KEIKO: Wakes everyone up and briefs them. She summons Panashe.
- MARI and PANASHE: Use Alertness to determine enemy numbers, position, and movement, and if they've trapped the area outside our cottage.
- Panashe may leave the cottage to scout (underground?).
- Mari should Investigate the note. Is it neatly written - suggesting a fraud?
- NOBURI: Tops off everyone, and senses in mist if possible safely.
- YUNO: Detonates Misterators inside/outside the cottage to further limit LOS.
- Diplomacy: Intimidate them into leaving. Summon Pangolins/Toads for the added INTIMIDATION and in anticipation for potential combat.
- PANKURASHUN, for example, is intimidating, a strong fighter, and has an AOE targeting Resolve.
- Framejob: Prevent the [framejob thing] if possible. Capture/scatter the enemy whenever possible.
- KEIKO summons Pantomaimu (or a similarly well-respected Pangolin), whose word is GOSPEL to even our enemies. He is here to bear witness and speak honestly to our innocence in these matters, though he may participate / dissuade others from attacking at his pleasure.
- Runaway: We escape our enemies' pursuit (while Water/Shadow Clones enact other plans to lure enemies away) and get help from (e.g.) Takahashi.
- Turtle: Our meatselves hide inside a Misterated Air Dome. Once they're gone, we go.
- Mole: Panashe digs a well-hidden tunnel which we travel through.
- Rabbit: Shell White, Meet [location of Mari's choosing]. Use cover of darkness/Mist/stink bombs/other distractions.
- Crane: Skywalk away under cover of darkness/Mist/stink bombs/other distractions.
- Combat: Try to avoid violent murder, but if Mari calls for it...well. Boom, squish.

[X] Hazou shows his contingencies
Word Count: x
- Keiko: Summon panashe and snowflake, fill C.P reserve.
- Yuno: activate misterators throw windows, be ready to blow ceiling or walls.
- Noburi: summon water clone and use vampiric dew to cover for blind spots, if unknow ninja take them out.
- Snowflake: get out followed by noburi's water clone to compound entrance, be very visible, pretend to be angry at clone, look for activity or lack thereof in the compound, if need to report shout at noburi's clone using code words, if report too complex hide and dispel self, if under attack use banshee fuckers and non-lethal means.
- Mari: in the lookout for an attack.
- Panache: expediently scout direction of the main house, look for signs of activity, if kanashida present make contact via telepathy, pay attention for the smell of blood, report immediately if encounter active armed force.
- All:
- If under attack by a few individuals use non-lethal means (blow walls as convenient)
- If attack by overwhelming force blow ceiling and skywalk away if they use long distance attack that can hit them apply liberal bombardment whit seals (lethality optional).
- If no attack evident defer to mari's judgment.

@eaglejarl @Velorien @OliWhail Since it is now a major combat scenario and Mari (a Hiding in Mist user) is on our side, can Hiding in Mist be cast using a source of water? I ask this since using Hiding in Mist for Mist Drain is a valid tactic here, but none of us have the knowledge to know if it is a sound tactic.

It'd probably be something Noburi-pilot would do anyway, but you may want to add a line about Noburi draining Isan ninja for more chakra to throw towards Summons/Clones.
I also remember that, early into the Missing Nin Days, Noburi once sensed that he may be able to absorb a Water Clone's chakra, but that (at the time of the experiment) he didn't have enough skill to do so.
[X] Action Plan: The Paths
Misterators don't block LoS there was a whole thing about it.
This part is extremely unclear, what are we doing?
Guys, the more decision point you leave up to the party in the quest, the more likely Mari will dither, the more likely we will die.
Please explain clearly what political damage do you expect over a high certainty of death should we entered a combat encounter. Also, please note that Noburi drain is not instant.

I'll tell him to sense in mist, but will leave doing actual draining (through mist) up to him. Am still concerned about the whole Clan Secrets thing since it's quite possible some of these guys are going to survive it and blah blah.
As for the Water Clone thing, I don't think Noburi can (or should) drain his own teammate's (Water Clone's) chakra when he could be draining another enemy's.
I'm using Misterators to limit LOS, not block it. That combined with the nighttime should greatly weaken aim.
A combination of these things, with Water Clones to do the others and confuse our enemies as to which we are doing. I'll make it more clear.
Why is Mari suddenly dithering??
I don't understand this, what do you mean?

Outside of sealing failures, has hazou ever heard of a jutsu or seal that can do multiple things? Not using the same thing for multiple applications, but doing multiple things. Like a jutsu that can either create broccoli or shoot fireballs.
Closest I can think of is MEW which can either create real or chakra construct stone. But I'm looking for differences even bigger then that.

Banshee Slayers either deafen any sound greater than [preset dB] OR deafen any sound. I don't think we know of any single seal that does multiple different things any more than that (storage seals/tunneler's friend doesn't count for your definition, I think).
The safest decision we can make is to get out of here ASAP and avoid a battle. What political problems do you expect if we run away?
- Location
- Yes.
The sort that completely ruins the mission in its entirety, plus gets pro-Azai faction back in power (led by Inoue/Aida maybe, but that's speculation so ignore that) which results in Isan becoming the second coming of Yagura's Mist.
Those are the political problems I can foresee happening if we auto-run.
Again. You didn't explain why running away would be problematic.
- Location
- Yes.
Apologized, I hadn't realized that was the question being asked.
I've repeated concerns that whatever enemy is approaching has a backup plan in case we escape like we attempted to do the last time we were attacked in Isan: specifically, that they will plant evidence of [HORRIBLE THINGS WE DID], or engineer such a thing themselves. For example, they could have a disposable Kannagi Clan member killed in our cottage which will be found by them later and pinned on us. Alternatively, they could blow up the manor and sneak away, fingering us as the (explosives-obsessed) culprit. These are possible things an enemy could think of within a minute or two of consideration.
Given how polarized the update described Isan, it's likely a successful frameup would result in the pro-High Priest faction taking over Isan, resulting in...oh, us getting kicked out and brutally failing our mission, Shusuke's Yagura-era policies pushed forward, everyone on our team being miserable for various reasons, us possibly getting executed by Asuma for our fuckup...yeah. Things of that nature.
Out of curiosity, how long do you think it would really take Mari to make a decision? I honestly do not see her taking more than a moment or two of observation to get the information needed to make a good call in the field.
That would required the enemy attacking the Kannagi or the Kannagi being cahoot with the enemy.
Just scouting and waiting for information costs us valuable time.
- Location
- Yes.
...The Kannagi Clan isn't in their estate. None of the Kannagi are in their estate, by way of a very convenient declaration by their Clan Head. Do you really believe this to be a coincidence?
I think you and I have different values for how costly intelligence gathering is time-wise, relative to the time we should be expecting to have before the attack arrives at our location. My personal opinion is that (for my plan at least) the scouting will take a very low amount of time given Panashe's sensory jutsu and Mari's elite-Jonin Alertness, which is going to be far more than enough time for her to determine what our next steps will be.
If I made it clearer such that Mari was to make an immediate plan of action upon Keiko's briefing and adjust said plan based on information being brought to her over time (by her own Alertness, Panashe's report, or VD), would this be acceptable to you?

Better than mine, at least, and I don't think I'm getting to update mine before the deadline, alas.
