Amon sees them coming in a vast wave and acknowledges the meaning of Mako's intention, but is no more happy for it.

How'd this idiot come to the same idea I did and furthermore still be stupid enough to actually do it. Think, the Garou won't focus on Houshi if I engage them anyway...I need to get him healed, but waiting long enough to perform such a procedure would lead to her being overwhelmed entirely. She must intend to surrender, to face such odds - they said the Garou don't kill their victims, so between getting info from her on the Red Eyes and and extracting her dojutsu, they'll obviously capture her alive - judging by the way they're arching their shots I would guess as much. But then, how do I save her - I can't get Houshi back on his feet and Yousuke is still in hostile territory. Unless someone else strolls in, all their focus will be on him... he can still run I guess. If I send Shanghai out they might aim one of their instant-kill bow techniques at me and disrupt her. I'm clearly a more vulnerable target than Mako is - and they don't have much reason to go easy on me unless.... such a plan would require me to break their line of sight anyway. If I run now though I might not get a chance to stop running and heal Houshi. Shanghai is dragging him and Shanghai's maximum range is 100 feet, so I'll have to coordinate to move with her. Unless... no,, mind transfer won't solve anything yet. Okay, I'll retreat into the trees, no, draw their fire and set traps. But my traps are pretty half assed... a sunburst tag would still require someone to finish them off after I daze them and shanghhai can't handle this many people. Unless I funnel them in for a Lightningbolt...


Finally, Amon settles her heart a little, deciding on her action. Shanghai bucks up, yanking Houshi through the trees and out the clearing as Amon advises rapidly, upon recognising the greatest density of Ninjutsu specialists

"Head towards the bowmen on the Northwesr - past them even if you can, funnel them - the second front will already be open, we can't afford their focus to be regained by your surrender!"

Actions
Amon crouches low, offering an arm for Taro as she prepare sto go tend to Houshi. Crouching, she attempts to hide in the confusion, Hide (1d20+8)[26] to not draw fire

Shanghai moves at top speed to move Houshi past the trees to the northeast of the map. She should be able to set down Houshi at, say 10 feet east of Amon, then use her remaining movement getting in front of Amon to guard her (west, adjacent)
