[Quest] The Noble Virtue of a Sun's Return

Biggest problem is if this is by Spellcard rules... Because no lethal attacks limits us a lot.
 
[X] Charge.
-[X] A dozen upon dozen flame covered arrows leave your bow at speeds beyond the ken of mortal eyes. They impact against nigh unstoppable destruction, and destruction is not just halted. Destruction is pushed back. Alone your arrows carve a path through this woman's attack and you follow through before it closes. By the time the attack ends you are already in front of her, kicking her parasol out of her hands.

[X] Politely thank her for covering your approach.

If this can be done this is my vote.

Ah ah, as always you're awesome Hymn. So yes, I think it's time I explain how my version of Gensokyo works:

It is a mix of classical Touhou games and fighting games like Hisoutensoku. With fights on the ground and in the air (moot most of the time because almost all of Gensokyo's residents know how to fly. The ones who don't are mainly the normal people from the Human's village. Thanks to all the mana in the air doing spell is super easy, but not everyone has talent for flying.)

So physical attacks are allowed, but not many people use them for the same motive a man with a sword doesn't duel with a man with a gun: ranged attacks (more so with the quantity a Touhou is famous for) are more easy and give more advantages. Of course there are exceptions: Hong Meiling, Konpaku Youmu and Suika Ibuki for example, because they possess mad martial art skills or strength beyond belief. Technically a strong physical attack can be a Spell Card too, the system care only for the power behind it: if it is strong enough, more than your average bullets, it can be a Spell Card.

The Spell Card system encompasses all Gensokyo and stop all kind of physical damage, to the participants and the environment, but not the pain. The winner is decided when the opponent is knock out from the pain. Or he surrender. The players can also agree on specific conditions before the battle, such as the number of Spell Cards allowed and how the winner is decided.

But here's the catch: a Spell Card duel need to be declared as such and approved from both participants for the rules to be active. This is because it was developed to resolve conflicts between humans and youkai.

Meaning? Reimu let the Youkai free to fight and kill each other in whatever fashion they want, but if a human challenge a youkai at a spell card the youkai has to accept or desist completely (or he can simply cheat, but then Reimu will be after his sorry ass).

Most of the time the rules prevent what is already recognized as a Spell card type of attack from damaging the environment, but as I already said both participants need to be willing to engage to a formal duel for the protection to be in effect.

What Yuuka is doing? Eeehh, it's debatable if Karna counts as a Human, Ghost, Phantom or something else. Note that it is the human part that can confuse things.

But yeah, you can pull this off. Special circumstances, mind you.

But I am confused: what do you mean with "Politely thank her for covering your approach." ? How she covered his approach?

Excellent, excellent! Thanks for the clarification, might want to link it on the front page if you haven't already.

And it's quite simple. Karna could never have gotten so close without Yuuka noticing if she hadn't deployed her massive fuck-off beam of death. Which we then push through and in doing so Yuuka never notices we are not right in front of her. Without her helpful contribution we couldn't possible be so successful!

Ah I see. Yep, it's Karna alright.

Also: all those Astra? Karna doesn't have all of them. Just saying. The most destructive at least. But if you want a beam-to-beam fight all you need is to channel the right Astra into the right medium. See the wiki for how the Astra works.

I'm not too familiar with Touhou Project beyond fanfics, the fanmade two episodes, and wikis and other sites with information on characters and locations and whatnot. Is it normal for Yuuka to be attacking us, delighting in it in fact, after we so vigorously defended and praised her sunflower field?

Keine actually uses the Major Artifact (Noble Phantasm?) in her Ex-spellcards - sword of Kusanagi, or something - so, Spellcard system probably limits the lethality of everything.

And Youmu, and Suika uses bombs and... Well.

That it does. But weren't those Artifacts (Yes they're NP in this quest) copies created by her History Manipulation?

They are copies.

In the same sense as Shiro UBW swords are copies. No less lethal, if maybe somewhat degraded in power.

But considering what Keine history manipulation is outright reality-warping, ther exist a possibility what those are actually real Noble Phantasm without any degradation and not merely fake copies, even if their existance is a paradox.

Keine is Haxxx like that.

That makes sense. If there is someone who can pull it off, it's Keine. During the Full Moon at least.

Hymn: if you want Awesomeness By Analysis I will try to do it, but some help so I can work around it is appreciated if you really want Awesomeness.

Why? I am just not very good at those things. I am better at social interaction.

Yeah.

That woman is Gensokyo Emiya, only instead of UBW she has Gaia, and instead of using crappy Gradation Air as creation/manifestation metod, she uses she uses either hight level conceptual ability, or could use Marble Phantasm.

I am personally betting on Marble Phantasm. There was a description of TA doing something very simular to how she once managed to hide Human Village.
 
HymnOfRagnarok said:
Well, okay then, although I thought the ideas I mentioned might be enough. Much more and I'd pretty much be writing out part of a scene. I guess I could revise the vote to include something like that, but the analysis is really just a way of enabling the charge I already described.

Uh oh, yeah, you're right. Sorry, forget it: I was slacking like a certain Shinigami.

???: Ehi!

You know it's the truth.

This is going to end in fun for one party or the other. Maybe both!
 
Well, the most important thing to keep in mind, I think, is to make sure nothing hurts the flowers.

Err...about that.

Karna was the one who advised Duryodhana to use deception and trickery since their side was going against Dharma, so Honor before Reason isn't too valid for him, unless he's made an oath about it.

Right, but now he's no longer fighting for Duryodhana and having to go against Dharma.
