Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Oh, god, Bad, you're a genius. ZN, why didn't you think of that when the crazy swordsman cut up Youki? The classic pun-line... you'll have to have some crazy violent bastard who next cuts off one of Amon's limbs work it into their taunts somehow - "Looks like you've been... DISARMED!"
I seriously give you permission to go for that scene. Yousuke drops unconscious during his fight with a superior swordsman, Amon jumps in to intercept and make the save, she goes all badass puppeteer mode and just as she gets her rhythm going, bastard runs up and chops her arm off (no technique's concentration can survive THAT) and says something like the above line, possibly cackling maniacly, possibly just not caring - trying to brighten up their day despite having to fight such a dull, weak opponent as Amon
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Hey, we're all online. Are we waiting for something? ZN got a post in the works now that we're all 'disarmed'? Of course, even as far as cutting tools go, with Amon's chakra scalpel she can still cut things a little if she ever really needed to.
Also Amon isn't actually pissed at Houshi, no, it's worse than that. She'd given him the reputation in her mind as the one sane person left in the world who had enough wisdom to give her worthwhile advice, so her gripe is more on of disappointment, which is actually worse. There's only so mean you can be to Amon in one sitting when you know her options of retaliation are limited and she has to bottle it up into something ugly. I mean, merely mentioning her prosphetics before is what got Amon and Yousuke at each other's throats - Houshi took it a step further by presuming the circumstances of her wounds and her thoughts of redemption. He basically said the exact wrong thing to her in one sentence. You're going to have to listen to her 'war story' now so you can understand and be redeemed in her eyes, when this is all over

IIRC land-hopping is 60ft/round, right? It took 8 hours to get to Sonada at 15ft/round. So do the math. But you've already marched as long as you can today, so any extra time would be considered a forced march.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
We marched today? Oh, you mean the walking? It's just some damage and fatigue, right? I can stomach that for the sake of teh plan, though I wish I had bought those soldier pills after all.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
I don't see how he's spiting Amon here, though he's free to think that. She doesn't intend to fight them, just to get away. In fact, if she wanted to cause them harm, getting friendly with them enough to make them drop their guard so Amon can slit their throats as they sleep is the best thing to do. And if she doesn't cause them harm, she'll be glad to see them lightening up, so no matter what way you spin this, Yousuke's doing pretty much what Amon needs him to do except listen to her plan. Simply it involves contacting Cybele - Yousuke was able to contact Camille who's basically living with Cybele, so she might be able to contact her for us, though Amon needs Yousuke's help to contact Camille in the first place
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Wonder if these three will allow us to phone a friend. Should probably tell Cybele not to come help us first - otherwise she'll probably kill all 3 of these guys just so she can have some quite when she speaks of us or something equally wacky
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Naw, I'm not gonna do that. And not just because I'm not built for that. Also because it's impractical and sure to stir up unnecessary trouble - Bea would totally kill us. I just mean since Yousuke was inhabiting the mindset that Amon was thinking of them as enemies anyway so i was explaining hypothetically that even if that were true, there's no sub-category of possibility of her intentions for which forging good connections with them would be a bad idea. Speaking really grimly is how far I'm willing to go to spoil Bad's fun, apparently.
I would like to see him try to beat the crap out of Amon. Without his sword, his damage, to-hit, HP and defence are all at about her level or lower - assumng Amon was even remotely serious about fighting back. More likely she'd fight him with her bare fists and be at a huge disadvantage since as unfavourably as she thinks of him right now, she doesn't want to actually turn around and hurt him - a fistfight would actually blow off some of her steam. Of course, she won't kill someone just to incite him into it. Our escape plan, speaking of which, is thus:
Amon uses her Mind Transfer on one of the leaf-nin or their mangy dog, wreaks havoc while Houshi and Yousuke carry her body as quickly and as far as possible before the technique ends and Amon overall buys a 10 minute advantage that we can use to get back to Soragakure with. Anything to add? Won't be doing it until i gather at least one more data point worth of knowledge though. In any case...

... by 'you' I assume you mean Amon. Unless you're threatening to summon Houshi into MY bedroom to physically beat the crap out of me in which case... I'm terrified yet amused I guess
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
While his damage is lower, most of his taijutsu can still be used without a sword, his to-hit is actually one higher, which is higher then yours anyway and of course his damage lower but still way higher then yours with his fist. Then because of his con score, he has the highest HP while having the fewest hit dice. Not that his weapon as anything do with his defense but is now significantly higher then it was.
All in all, you'd get stomped in a fist fight. Hypothetically, there is no trying involved, that's up to the dice.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
I have searched the entire book and I'm like 99% sure whatever technique I've been given is either some sort of combat technique or is homebrew. Well, guess we'll find out soon if I can get a room to myself for about 3 seconds...
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
If Amon was paired up with any other of the leaf-nin, she'd be a lot more accepting of these conditions. Instead, his presence alone is enough for her to want to escape regardless of any other plan.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
It feels like everyone is in a bad mood, IC and OOC. This saddens me.
And anyway, Yousuke is going to deal with this problem the only way he knows how. Head on. I question the wisdom of such an action but I guess I've had enough of talking circles.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Not a bad mood me, at least not with regards to this game - more an overarching bad mood from University stress and a really bad cold. I guess I'm being really hesitant since my only possible courses of action are to say 'I wait a few hours until something happens' or 'I do something that will make our situation worse', so I guess I do feel a bit trapped by this dilemna, even if it is my fault
I just conceived of a Fight Club style plot twist for Youki that I wish would fit betterso I could just imagine and pretend it was the case
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Okay, OOC huddle. Time to regain our momentum after this 'forums going down' business left us adrift. What's our plan from here? Does anyone have anything they can do other than wait it out? Should we wait until Sanagi gets back? I really want to activate the wild card. Do we waste the rest of the day and assault the Garou in the morning? Perhaps we should ask around town for details of things since we're finally here - it seems like we were expected to do that anyway, though that may be too meta.
ZN, are there any birds/farm animals nearby? Preferably, say, pigeons or a horse.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
I said birds or farm animals. I know from experience that such rodents have no practical applications in human affairs that would make them worth using in any business, farm or otherwise.
Re: Soragakure OOC III - Why Do We Have 3 Of These?
Well, Kaede gave me that ability to use my Kai when subjected to a genjutsu as an instant action, right? I thought it was a bit metagamey since it would require you to tell me 'you are now under a genjutsu' but it seemed the best of the offered powers.
Will Save (1d20+4)[15] + Action Point (1d6)[6]
Genjutsu Kai (2 chakra) (1d20+7)[20]
Hell, let's roll all teh dice I can until I find a way out of this
Avert Eyes chance (1d100)[16] - I did say a while back Amon knows he's a sharingan user so hasn't been looking directly at his eyes out of fear of winding up like Kaede's victims (post #963)
