Oops. guess i got a little carried away.

>>33028165
You've got a bottle of sake from Sachiko. She's tried to recreate the ritual that Kayako's Mother did on the other stuff. She's pretty sure that she was able to pull it off.

It does cause a dramatic drop in PKE emission and causes Yurei's Chyme to go on the fritz when it's nearby. So it's doing something, but not the exact same thing. Probably because Sachiko doesn't have the natural born power that Kayako's Mother had, and the fact that she's still living.

> Who carries the bottle? Whomever does can't be carrying a melee weapon for fear of breaking it.

>>33028461
Lets give it to Sato. I can't see the guy going at it in melee combat.

>>33028461
Actually, I'm for Star getting it.
She's not built for melee fighting anyway.

>>33028673
Oh, and I just thought that, being the only woman on our field team, she's more likely to be targeted for possession and having the sake could help keep her protected.

>>33028461
Star

Excuse me I've been out of the quest for a while, can someone refresh me where and what we are attacking?

Not the base right? Did we reclaim the base?

>>33028673
That's also a good option. In fact, it's better than what I put here>>33028521 now that I think about it. But let's also consider the gear we're taking. I put in my opinion with >>33028165. Obviously Star can't take the chyme if she's taking the sake, so that's up in the air

>>33028757
This is an abandoned hotel/arcology complex in the Reject Zone that Kali and Rini were considering turning into a youkai/ghost enclave, where supernaturals could live isolated from humans and without causing problems.

The only problem is, Oiwa and her minions are squatting on it right now, and we need to clean house.

And they went after our little sister.
No one hurts our little sister; we've already destroyed her life and her dreams, and we'll cross the streams if it means keeping her at least physically safe.

>>33028780
Maybe Sato can carry the Chyme.

>>33028780
>>33028861
Akira should carry the chime. Yurei has a thing for him. I'd like to give it that a nudge.

>>33028810
>and we'll cross the streams if it means keeping her at least physically safe.
That would likely blow up the world if we did it outside of the Ghost Realm.

Kali or whoever the vampire girl was said that "someone" would intervene, but I don't believe her. Gods and entire universes have been destroyed by such an undoing of the fabric of existence.

Just be sure when we resort to that we don't do it in our universe.

>>33028861
I second this

>>33028894
This. Make Akira carry the chime.

>>33028699
Okay so, Daisuke is going into the building with:

Football pads and a cup, the earpiece that connects to Sana back at HQ, and a baseball bat.

Star will be the Sake. She'll be hanging back, and have the headband protector and a surgical mask.

Akira will be taking point, also geared with a baseball bat and football pads. He'll be foregoing the earplugs as well so he can react in combat swiftly.

Sato will be keeping light, using the Baton, and keeping a clear head by use of earplugs, and he'll be carrying extra first aid, and camping/survival supplies. Can I make an assumption and say that he'll be carrying the Chyme, since you'll want to keep Yurei reasonably safe and Akira plans to be cracking heads?

Also, Yurei can, and will, help, but she's got no combat ability. She can be invisible, lift and throw things with the capabilities of a 16-year-old girl, and she can move through walls.

Is this set up acceptable?

Also, to be precise, Mitsuko of the Dark Water, an Avatar of Oiwa, and a bunch of humanity loathing yurei and yokai are squatting there. Not Oiwa herself.

>>33028894
Ffffffffudge. I forgot about that. Disregard >>33028965. I support this

>>33028999
Akira carries chyme.

>>33028999
I would have liked someone to be outside in the YOMI-1 with Super Slammer and the Proton Cannon, we're going to need the BIG guns for this one.

>>33028999
I say that Sato should carry the Chyme, because we don't want the tank/Akira who is going to be knee-deep in the melee fighting to have a piece of electronics that could get damaged.

>>33028999
Sounds good, Ghostmaster. Thanks for running, btw, was going to the library, but missing this quest isn't worth DLing my latest delicious Steam sale acquisitions.

>>33029079
Wait, yeah, we really should use our big guns if we can. Anyone have any ideas on how?

>>33028999
>Akira will be taking point, also geared with a baseball bat and football pads. He'll be foregoing the earplugs as well so he can react in combat swiftly.
ugh changing this vote >>33029000 back to sato again

>>33029079
>>33029137
It's parked outside, if we can lure Oiwa and her minions out we could use it on her.

>>33029228
CRAZY plan but

but since we're facing an avatar of the Big O herself, we could use the proton cannon to blast a hole big enough for the Yomi 1 to come/fire through. And if we're worried about the building collapsing on us, the Proton Cannon should have enough juice in it that the capture stream could hold up solid debris long enough for the Yomi to back the fuck out.

>>33029351
Collapsing the building would defeat the purpose of using it as a future safe haven for good Youkai. In theory the proton cannon should have enough juice to lift the Yomi onto the roof of the building and down again, not that we have a reason to do that. Yet.

>>33029351
Here's some further intel that you can get from some basic PKE scans and surveillance.

The building is shaped like a giant square ring. There's a plaza/garden on the bottom. If you want to drive YOMI-1 in through the front doors, you can easily fit it into the plaza.

Mitsuko, or at least the biggest PKE surge, is on the roof of the building. That's 30 floors above you.

The building is structurally sound right now, you'd have to do some serious damage to it for the entire thing to collapse. Floor to floor and room to room is unknown.

You know there's a medical center on the fifth floor.

Floors 1-10 are all commercial

Floors 11-15 are office space

Floors 16-20 are hotel

Floors 21-28 are condos

Floor 29 is a movie theater multiplex.

Floor 30 is akin to a convention center, so it's a bunch of large ballrooms/meeting rooms/large open spaces

The roof, where you believe Mitsuko is, is a full classical tea garden with a koi pond, rock, traditional, and bonsai garden, and a pagoda.

The only way to access the roof is by the elevators, or the stairs on the 30th floor.

>>33029573

I trust those elevators about as far as I can throw them. Stairs seem safer.

>>33029650
It seems to be a fundamental rule for ghosts to not kill people in the elevators, at least new york.

But hey, more exercise for us.

>>33029573
We're driving the Yomi into the plaza, she's not missing out on this.

>>33029650
Agreed. We're going up… manually.
http://youtu.be/7Ze-xQoEfOU

>>33029573
Drive up the Yomi into the Plaza, blast it clear, and then disembark and go up on foot. Clear it building by building.

If possible, we could have someone in the Yomi ready with the Trap and Cannon, then we ourselves simply use the capture stream to toss ghosts through the windows and into the Trap very easily.

"We're going in hard Akira, so get ready to ram it." You say as you suit up.

"Okay!" Akira says as you're all suited up and ready. "Let's get this party started!"

"You are WAY too into this." Star says.

"You sure YOMI can take it?" Sato asks.

"It's just a large pair of glass doors, a short flight of stairs, and then bam...we're in the plaza." Akira says. "Easy."

"Yeah." Star says as she pulls her safety belt tight. "Easy."

"And that's how I was turned." Kali says.

"I'm worried that my brother is doing something stupid." Kaede says. "He's always so stubborn, and when he gets that look in his eye...well the last time he almost destroyed a university."

"I'm sure your bother will take a calm measured approach to this." Sachiko says. "After all, HE'S the reasonable one. Anyway, go back to World War One, Kali."
- - -
Three men in windbreakers are standing in the plaza. They all have small weaselly eyes, pinched faces and wispy-thin mustaches. They have small sickles on their belts, and old leaves and twigs blow around their feet, dancing in gusts of wind.

"Yeah. I haven't heard anything from them, Miss." One of them is talking into a phone. "Yeah, they probably chickened out. Typical mortals. I'll let you know if something changes."

He hangs up and scowls. "I so loathe that multi-tailed bitch."

"Tamamo-no-Mae's worse. Be glad that we just havre to deal with her 'sister,' and be even gladder that she's the one who has to deal with Her." The other man shudders. "Avatars are crazy."

YOMI-1 bursts through the glass doors and into the building!

VRRRRRMMMMM!!!

YOMI-1 surges up the stairs in a bumpy ride, and clears it no problem.

However, you all weren't ready for the large decorative fountain that's in the middle of the plaza.

"OH SHIT!" Akira yells and twists on the wheel.

SCRREEEEE-BAM!

YOMI-1 crashes into the large pillar that once had water artfully cascading over it.

"Anyway we're getting this thing up higher than this?" You ask.

"The only thing I see that's even remotely possible is the freight elevator." Sana says.

"Okay," You sigh. "What are our other options?"

"Well, there's the other elevators, there's escalators and open stairs that should take you all the way up to the 16th floor, and there's two stairwells...I think...one gets you all the way to the 21st floor. The other only goes to the 11th."

"I'm sensing a but." You say.

"The 21st one is more of a staff and utility staircase. It's half the size of the one that goes up to the offices."

The second Yurei touches the van there's a huge discharge of energy from the super slammer and you see the poor little ghost girl flung against the wall where she literally splats against it leaving a mess of light grey slime and a very dazed looking spirit on the floor.

Akira chokes back a little laugh, but he looks sympathetic.

"Oh!" Star says. "You poor dear!" She goes to comfort the girl but the moment she gets within two feet of her, she sits up, and vomits up another mass of slime on the ground.

"Star! The sake!" Sato says.

"Oh! Sorry sorry sorry!" She backs away.

"Come on, go back inside your home kiddo." Sato says, holding out the Chyme. Yurei wearily staggers to it and disappears inside the player. She will be out of commission for a while as she recuperates from that.

>>33033105
Of course we could even use slime tethers to act as a catch as well as help lift it up the stairs.

>>33033105
>>33033127
And of course, teamwork. Surely two people wrangling a car can't fail, right?

>>33033105
>>33033127
>>33033142
What if wasting time bringing the car with us is giving these jackasses more time to prepare? We've got SOME manner of surprise, but not much and it's dwindling fast.

>>33033067
Okay, there's a few things that need to change in order for you to lift YOMI to the floors above.

You won't be able to take the stairwells, they are not wide enough for YOMI. You'll have to take the open staircases and escalators.

Lifting the van, and it will be a combination of capture streams and slime tethers, will take a check, the more floors you move it at a time, the harder the check. If you move it fewer flora, there will be multiple checks, etc.

If you fail a check the van either won't move, or will take more damage.

At a certain height, a ghost roll could mean that YOMI-1, and all the equipment on her will be completely totaled.

This does NOT take into account any attacks or other distractions you might encounter on your ascent.

That's the scenario. You can do it, but it will not be easy. You will honestly have better odds using the freight elevator.

>>33032880
>"Okay," Akira sighs. "That didn't work. Are we just locking YOMI and leaving her then?"
Sadly, we have no other choice. Unless you want to ride the elevator, and that risks a ghost possessing the elevator.
If something does happen we can always make the Yomi-1b.

>>33033233
Eh, just lock it up and leave it there then.

It's insured.

>>33033193
Who needs surprise when you have a Big Gun? I really think we need it if who we

>>33033233
Truth, much too complicated floor at a time.

>>33033234
Of course, we can always slime the elevator to prevent that.

The Freight elevator is but 1 floor below the roof.

>>33033289
I just think if we can do anything to take her with us, we should, we need as many advantages as we can get.

>>33033233
I hate to just leave it, and the freight elevator is just asking for youkai to cut the cables or something to possess the elevator.

>>33033308
*Who needs surprise when you have a Big Gun? I really think we need it if who we need everything we can get,

even time admittedly, is not something we should waste which is true

>>33033308
>we need as many advantages as we can get.
What you think is an advantage, is actually secretly a liability.

>>33033233
Just cover YOMI in posi-slime and let's get going to the office stairwell. We've wasted too much time as it is.

>>33033308
If you really want the van so bad (and to be fair, I do too) we can fight our way to the 30th floor, open the elevator shaft and slime it, and then get the Yomi up through the elevator.

>>33033398
Actually, that'll work.
Anyway, let's disembark and start fighting our way up the stairs then.

>>33033398
How do we use it when it's on the 30th and our target is on the roof?
Not to mention the walls, plumbing, and wiring on the 30th floor limiting YOMI's ability to be driven around.

>>33033503
The roof is the 31st floor, it's just a a single set of stairs to get to the roof from the 30th.

Or we just blast a hole in the roof all the same and any other obstruction.

>>33033539
Hell, we only need to get it to the 30th, blast a hole in the cieling and then park the Yomi under it and Bam we have access Super Trap on the roof.

God fucking damnit you guys, forget about the fucking van.

This is supposed to be an homage to the Raid, so stop trying to avoid the gauntlet and let's fucking get on with it.

God damn it.

>>33033726
I'm perfectly fine with getting all of the advantages we can; however, I think that trying to get the van up to the roof, or even the 30th floor, is a trap option where it won't be as useful as people think it will be, or will only result in us losing the van due to it being pushed off of the 30th floor of a hotel controlled by ghosts and youkai.

>>33033792
>>33033792
Hey, we're walking to the 30th floor anyway. If we can get the van up there why not, the worst that can happen is it gets smashed but it's insured so that ain't a problem either.

If can't get the van up there, then we fight this thing all the same.

>>33033792
I just don't think we need it and feel we've spent enough time standing around.

>>33033835
Because someone has to go down using the freight elevator after we slime it, go to YOMI (hoping it hasn't been possessed or a youkai hasn't hotwired it), drive it into the elevator, and ride the elevator back up.
Either we lose time doing that, or we split the team.

And slimeing the elevator car and cables does not prevent a youkai from cutting the cables or burning out the elevator motor, which is located on the roof.

>>33033233
Ditch the van and proceed upwards.

>>33033977
I would think that at the 30th floor, the elevator motor itself would be well in range of our slime throwers being only a floor up.

As for splitting the team that is also true, darned shame Yurei got messed up otherwise she could fly down there in a matter of moments and simply drive it up. Not even have to posses whole car, just handle the wheels like a normal person.

The elevator car could also be set to wait on this floor to spare time as well.

Anyway, just a thought for when we get there. But likely we're fighting this on foot.

>>33034061
"Maybe if we get control of the upper floors we can come back with the elevator for it." You say with a sigh. "Other than that, lock it, cover it in slime so they can't touch it...hopefully...and I don't think there's anything else we can do."

"Agreed." Sato says. "We need to move."

Akira nods. "Right."

You lock and slime YOMI and head towards the office access stairs. The stairs are nice, wide, and there's a pretty mural wall that goes up along side of the stairway.

There doesn't seem to be much activity on the stairs. Maybe they didn't think you'd go this way.

You get all the way up and get to the door.

"It's stuck!" Sato says.

"Kick it in, Ghostbuster SOP." Akira says.

"I tried. The door's open but something's stuck it closed. Help me." He says.

You and Akira aid your shoulders and you manage to force it open...past the snow drift.

You've entered a large cubicle farm. The only thing that is left here is the partitions and empty electrical sockets.

And the snow.

It's snowing.

"Okay, there's another large stairwell like the one you came in on the other side of the office park." Sana says. "That'll take you to the hotel, just follow the exit signs that are blue."

You look up as you trudge through the knee deep snow, and the identical looking rows upon rows of cubicles.

There's four blue exit signs, all pointed in different directions.

Goggles.
But Sana said 'other side oft he office park' which means we SHOULD only have to walk forward. That said, I don't think we take a fucking step until the goggles get up and running.

However, the snow is still falling and making things difficult to see, and you're sure that you're hearing something move around in the snow.

"This snow is real..." You say.

"Yes, and it is VERY cold!" Star says.

"But that means..." You look through your goggles and find the emergency sprinkler head. "That there's a source."

You spray slime right into it.

The reaction is NOT what you expected. You were hopping to plug it up, or stop the snowfall.

You were NOT expecting the standard Posi-slime/Negi-slime reaction, nor for it to cause a chain reaction.

You all let out a shout of surprise as the tingling feeling and acidic smell fills the room and the whitefish snow you were standing in turns into dark foul looking water.

The gentle snow is gone and now the filthy water is seeping into your boots.

You also see a woman standing in the middle of the hall looking completely shocked.

She looks to be in her late 30s/early 40s. She's dressed in a cheap dress style that was popular 10 years ago. She also has a cherry red, Hello Kitty, plastic arm bracelet.

The water around her legs is slightly frozen, and her flesh looks puckered. Like she spent too long in the bath.

"Oh thank the heavens! Please, you have to help me reach her. Mitsuko is just...alone...and afraid. She needs her mother. These monsters are exploiting her rage. I've been trying to reach her, but they trapped me on this floor. If you help me I can calm her. I'm her mother...or I used to be...please."

Mitsuko DOES need a mother to appease her.

…cousin. Aunt. She's Kayako's sister--- in law?

>>33035196

Didn't Mitsuko's abandonment by her mother happen BEFORE her death? Or am I misremembering the movie?

>>33035494
Honestly, some of us haven't even watched some of the movies referenced here. Your guess is as good as mine.

>>33035243
"Yes. I am Mitsuko's mother. Well...that's not 100% true. Mitsuko's true mother, her birth mother..." She shakes her head. "She was not a very good mother. She...left...Mitsuko. I found her...after...and I chose to stay with her. She was better after that. I love her, and she loves me. Then this horrid thing with the moons started and she...got confused. Then these demons came and they're keeping us apart! She's just a weapon to them! I need to get back to my daughter, and I can help her."

She holds out her hand to you.

"Please, help me get to my daughter, and I can help her...and you! I know you have many questions, but we can talk as we head up the stairs. Help me reach my daughter, and I will help her. Deal? I can't leave this floor unless someone agrees to take me. It's a curse that horrid fox woman put on me!"

"Guys?" You say.

"She might not react negatively to posi-slime." Sato says. "Yurei's okay with it. Maternal love is a positive emotion."

"I've got nothing but love for my Mitsuko. And she loves me." The woman says.

"It could be dangerous if she comes with us." Star says. "Maybe she hides here and we come back for her when the place is cleared."

"No! They'll know that I've been freed from their trick and the slime will wear off and I'll be frozen here again." The ghost says.

"You KNOW what I think." Akira says. "Maybe we could put her in a trap and let her out when we get to the brat. That's even if the demon spawn is coherent enough to listen to her."

"She will listen to me!" The ghost says. "I'm her favorite mother!" She extends her hand. "Please, take me to my child!"

>>33035826
"Vow upon the gods to honor our agreement, and it's a deal." You say.

"I...I don't know if I can do that." She says. "Mitsuko is part of Oiwa. I might not be able to make that vow, as she is Forsaken."

"Can you promise to be as unobtrusive as possible until we reach the roof?" You say.

She nods.

"Alright, you've got a..." You bite your lip. "Umm...what did you mean by favorite mother?"

"I'm the mother Mitsuko loves the most! We have such lovely times in the winter, and even in the fall. She's not replaced me like the others. I've been around the longest, and I am the one my Mitsuko comes to for comfort when the trees are bare and the snow falls." She smiles. "The summer mothers are tramps all of them, no wonder Mitsuko gets bored with them."

Sato groans and puts his face in his hands.

"Oh dear." Star says.

"I should have known." Akira says.

"Anyway, I promise to stay out of the way as much as I can." Mitsuko's 'Winter Mother' says. "But, please do we have a deal?"

> Deal's off.

>>33036083
>Shake her hand.
A yuki-onna, huh.

>>33036139
Our teammates have expressed their opinion very clearly.

She only believes she is Mitsuko's favorite dughter as winter, likely out of some inflated sense of self worth. I'm sure the summer, spring, and fall mothers hold the same opinion.

>>33036190
*favorite mother

>>33036083
"We'll take you to her, but... it'll have to be in a box."

>>33036083

>>33036246
You didn't read the
>She's not replaced me like the others
Part?

Mitsuko gets bored of her other mothers and either eats them or releases them, but this one she stays with for half the year.

>>33036246
We should have boxes a plenty.

By the way, I just remembered we still haven't busted the Primal Spirit of Rage. Hopefully she paid us the gold we made her promise when we bested her, and use it to track her down and at another time we go and finish the job.

>>33036274
Can we really trust her words? If we can, then by all means I'll say yes. Still, wish we could hold her to something more than her own words though.

>>33036274
Yes, but I didn't think it entailed cannibalism.

>>33036287
Eh, right now the Rage spirit is doing good and we already saw that she intends to keep her word.

>>33036083
> Deal's off.
Feels wrong. No.

>>33036319
Only because she is afraid of us and doesn't want to get caught.

She also even says she's expecting us to grow old and die and plans to go back to her old ways. That is NOT a finished job at all.

>>33036083
>Shake her hand.
I feel like she's not really powerful enough to be that much of a threat to us, so the small chance of her convincing Mitsuko to come peacefully is a good gambit.

>>33036083
> Shake her hand.
Whether she betrays us or not, just another ghost to be busted.

>>33036083
Maybe do a group huddle with the gang first.

Make our case that even though she'll likely betray us, she seems like enough of a pushover that it might still be a net gain.

This, let's leave the tough decisions to a vote. This time everyone should have an opinion one way or the other

>>33036523
Yeah I mean, Sato and Akira kind of have points that we really shouldn't be calling the shots for every encounter.

Though that's more a problem with the quest format itself, and one that's difficult to avoid.

>>33036508
"Uhh, one moment." You say, and turn to the others. "Guys?"

"Screw her. Kid's evil, she's faking, I say blast her." Akira says.

"Maybe we should bring her along?" Star says. "She doesn't look like she's lying...maybe thralled...but we can help with that. I think?"

"I think we should take her, but in a ghost trap." Sato says.

"I will NOT go into those boxes you have." The Winter Mother says. "How can I trust YOU?"

"It's a two way street." Sato says.

She shakes her head. "I'm sorry...I've heard things about those boxes. I'll stay out of your way, but I won't go into one of them."

Sato shrugs. "Well if that's the case, then I suggest leaving her here to rot."

> That's the other's opinions. Call's up to you.

>>33036773
Far better she attacks us here alone, then joining our more powerful enemies when we meet them. Take down problems one at a time. She can't leave here, except if we let her.

>>33036822
The thing is, while she will likely defend Mitsuko, she'll attack the Youkai.

>>33036723

You frown and lower your hand, shaking you head. "I'm sorry, but we seem to be unable to agree to terms. If there's anything you can tell us that'll help us resolve this without violence we'd be grat-"

At that point is the point where she screams and lunges to grab your throat.

She's also frozen the water around you so you're going to have to force your way through the ice in order to dodge her.

"Let's just get up to the next floor." Star says. "I don't want to run into the Summer or Spring mother."

The illusions and frigid temperatures have gone, so you make your way across the office floors and to the large stairwell that goes up to the hotel floors.

There's another identical looking mural on the wall like the last one.

Either way, the stairs are apparently deserted, again.

"We're in a giant ring, it's on the other corner. Is that what you're saying?" You ask.

>>33037326
You work your way through the first hallway, empty and clear and easy enough.

The second one brings you up short.

The entire hall is filled, shoulder to shoulder, with people.

They're all wearing red masks with long noses, and their clothing is covered in black feathers. They're holding knives, bats, chains, cleavers, spears, a few have swords, and all of them have armor on. Pots, kettles, street signs, pieces of sheet metal and siding. All of it is covered with black slime.

In the middle of the crowd is a blonde woman in a red and white kimono. She has a mass of busy tails hanging out from behind her. She grins when she sees the four of you. She has a loudspeaker in her hand, one of the fancy ones that has a small microphone detachment. She holds up the small square to her mouth as the large bullhorn hangs at her side.

"Greetings Ghosb-"

She's interrupted as her speaker suddenly plays the first couple of bars of 'I wish I was in Dixie.'

"Sonofa..." She presses a few buttons and it makes alien ray gun noises, then a car alarm, and then nothing.

"Testing? Testing?" She says. "Good." She takes a deep breath. "Hello Ghostbusters! And goodbye! I dedicate your deaths to Mitsuko, and to Her Vengefulness! TENGU! ATTACK!"

"You know..." Sato says. "I always had fantasies of being in a Sentai Battle. Didn't think it'd be like this."

First, slime the floor directly in front of them to slow them down.

Meson Colliders out everyone, we need to handle these numbers, get ready to lay down suppression fire.

Move and fire in teams of two to try to enfilade and get multiple intersecting lines of fire down to the enemy.

Watch your heat meters, hold your fire until your partner has overheated, then fire while he cools down.

Seems to have a good idea.

>>33037637
Slime their path, followed by Meson Colliders. Unleash withering fire on them.

Also, we all know that music and slime love to dance. The better the music, the better the slime works in our favor. What say we take out Yurei's Chyme, attach it to whatever speakers we have or set the volume on max, and start playing some music of our own.

"Meson collider suppressing fire!" You snap.

You in the mean time spray a mass of slime onto the ground.

It's working! The Tengu have taloned feet and it sizzles and burns. It doesn't stop the ones in the back from pushing the ones in front forward, but it slows the ones in the front.

As for the Meson Assault.

>>33037801
And another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust.

>>33037801
Akira is in his happy place. Which is a terrifying place for everyone else. Especially the Tengu. Headshot, headshot, headshot...all the while he's screaming like a berserker warrior, screaming for blood.

The other two aren't doing so shabby either, just unleashing blast after blast, nailing them. The slipshod black slime armor doesn't seem to be as useful as they thought it would be. (Or at the least, the Meson Collider is effective against it.)

No Tengu is getting through to you on the direct front.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOTS?!" The Kitsune yells. "THEY'RE JUST MORTALS! STOP DYING AND KILL THEM ALREADY!"

However...this place is a giant ring.

"I can hear them coming!" Star says, jerking her head behind us. "We better think of something fast, or we're going to be the filling of a tengu sandwich!"

"Wouldn't it be a Ghostbuster Sandwich, since we're the filling?" Sato asks.

"Whatever!" Star says.

Bad last stand.

>> Force your way into the hotel rooms and get out of the halls.

Sounds like a trap, especially in enemy territory.

Funny, I thought I scrubbed that.

>>33037881
We're about to get outflanked really bad if we stay where we are. And since this is a giant ring we have little choice.

>>33037936
This, however having two cover our rear and two to the front isn't a bad idea if we stay in a group.

The Meson Collider tended to overheat a lot more than the Stasis stream, and the Slime could fire forever as it was unrelated to the heat functions.

I say, two in the front fire forward and keep pushing. Two face behind and lay down slime and stasis beam to slow down the rear. When the two up front overheat, switch around and the two behind move up to fire meson, while the two cool down while firing slime, then the low heat Stasis stream.

Repeat.

>>33037982
This

>>33037982

I like it.

>>33037982
Tactically sound. Time tested and true.

>>33037982
Going with this guy.

>>33037982
Just make sure you cycle the switching so you have at least one man firing on each flank at any one time.

>>33037982
You use a lot of words, that makes me think you're legit.

...Which isn't really a good method of deciding things, but let's go with it.

>>33038062
Truth

>>33037982
Sounds good to me. As a side note grenades of some kind would be really useful, maybe we should work on that at some point

>>33038062
Imagining it that makes it twice more awesome.

>>33038062
Yeah that's a good addendum.

>>33038082
Boson Darts are essentially our grenades. The closest thing we have to something like that is the Ghost Bomb, but that is more like an actual bomb which must be set up and destroys all ectoplasmic energy in a 50 yard radius.

In theory we could scale it down and make it act like a grenade, then you could say we have hand held mini-nukes.

>>33037982
"Okay...I've got a plan, we're making a push." You say. "Follow my instructions and maybe we won't die!"

"You're SUCH an inspiring leader." Akira says.

You start to enact the push plan, two in front layering down Meson blasts, and pushing forward (With occasional application of baseball bat) and two in the back covering with slime and stasis.

It's pretty effective. The Tengu don't really have a coordinated attack strategy, so it's what always happens when untrained hordes come up against a few who are trained and equipped. The hordes get mowed down.

However, it's just a question if there's enough horde to make up for the attrition.
