Hmm...
Calling back to my earlier vote, it might be a good idea to train in channeling hamon through others, since as we are now we might hurt Holly if we try.
I'm sure there's plenty of ways to weaponize infusing hamon into others, too!

I blame the snow women for this sudden blizzard. I'm leaning towards some sort of "test" they're giving us or they're being assholes.
 
Can you really built a decent tent from just a couple of logs?
Who said anything about logs?

If I remember correctly, I mentioned toppling entire trees. Like, with all the branches and pine cones and needles and shit still on 'em.

No question at all in my mind that a temporary shelter could be built from those materials within a minute or two.

@EvaUnit01 , can we warm Holly with our Ripple?
Probably.

[]Mizore might be okay, but you and Holly desperately need a break from this weather. Attempt to construct a shelter by toppling a few trees and making a crude tent or cabin out of them. Even if it means staying in one place for a while....
And then, just to be really sure:

And to make it extra sure: You reinforced your shelter with Ripple, while hurdling with your mother.
Of course, since you:
[]Trust in Mizore's expertise on the matter.
You tell her your plan. You make yourself a big, honking, glaring giant fortification a blind, sense-deprived yokai cannot miss, and hopefully make anything out there ignore a fledging Yuki Onna that, y'know, having known the area thoroughly since she's just a toddler and practically have that area as her personal playmate on good day. Or until she propose a better idea.

So yeah.
Please be merciful and don't have this go wrong or something, I guess?

A low, warbling howl echoes through the forest.
That's one angry mountain turkey. :V

Update 115 - The Abyss, part 1
Where there's light, there's heat. And as long as you can generate Hamon, you can make both.

Even if it means making yourself into a beacon that everything around you can track, you'll do whatever you have to in order to protect your mom.

Drawing Holly close to yourself, you begin your Hamon breathing in earnest.

"J-Jotaro?"

"Just shut up and get warm."

Holly stiffens, before nodding, and snuggling into your side. No matter what the teachers or other parents said, I always knew that Jotaro was a kind and caring young man.
You glance toward Mizore, and she immediately picks up on what you're planning to do next, leaping into a tree as you attempt to push out your Hamon onto the snow, in order to sense any other living creatures in the vicinity by detecting their breath. ....unfortunately, you are not able to detect anything.

Looking at you with a serious expression, Mizore quickly comes to a decision. "Stay here," she says, while pointing at the exact spot you're standing in for emphasis. "I'm going to run ahead and get help from my mom or dad."

Mizore begins to dart off, before abruptly stopping as another thought occurs to her. "If anyone shows up claiming that they're here to help, and I'm not with them, assume they're an enemy. No matter what they do, or what they say. And don't move from that spot, not even by one meter."

With that ominous warning, Mizore darts off into the blizzard.

You and your mother are utterly alone, now. In the cold, and in a storm of such ferocity that it almost seems like it's nighttime.

In the distance, beyond your ability to sense, a bloodcurdling howl echoes through the forest. No question about it, an enemy is coming. And when it comes --

[]You will destroy it.
[]You just hope that Mizore returns before then.
 
[X]You will do whatever it takes to protect your mother.

Hah take that Eva, I'm choosing option C and forge my own path :rage:
