Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zanza thought about the lanterns. They would need some light to navigate the caverns anyway. " OK, maybe we should change the plan slightly. I'll go first with a lanturn. I need to be closest to the enemy or I won't be able to do much good. Then Ame, you'll follow behind me, but you'll stay in the shadows. " Zanza took a peice of paper from houka, and a pen(thanks i'll give it back) and drew a multicolored picture to help exsplain his new plan." alright, i'll go first with one lantern, then Ame, you stay in the shadows. Houka follows both of us with a second lantern. stay about 50 feet behind me houka, and Ame, stay dead in the center. With this set up, Anything I can't fend off won't be able to see ame because of the way the lights hide her, represented by the blue lines. It will even be hard for them to tell how much distance is from my light to his. Houka, we haft to keep our lanturns on low. Hows it sound now? " he asked showing them his sketches." with one light up front, it will throw off their sight from the begining. its hard to tell whats in the dark if their is a light between the two of you. "






( I like a challenge. Why not make it so we all must roll a 19 or 20? it will be more fair.

Zanza's DC: 26
Ame's DC: 25
Houka's DC: )

''I agree with the plan, but we need to make sure that Ame dosen't get flanked...they may have lantern or they may be smarter then we think. Never understimate your ennemie's...I'v learn that since a long time ago...hum, I hope I will be able to use my genjutsu...Zanza, make sure to light the guy up, I need to see his face if I want to focus my chakra. I'll use bushin no jutsu to cover everyone from the back.''

*Bandits huh, I hope it's not the same bandit that kill my mother and Zanza's family...nah...it could not be. Still, we need to be cautious.*

Houka quickly pull out is is steel lantern to make some adjustment. Then he light it up using a lighter. The light was low, but at least he could see something. He was holding it with is lef for harm. His left hand was keeping is map and is right was holding his pencil.

''So, let get down to it...I wonder...what our mark will look like.''

(*Leer at Level_one* Sorry huh...that the thing is hard for me....you'll pay the next diner hehehheheheh)

Zanza walked up next to Ame and in a said as gently as possibal. " Ame, do us all a favor and keep your mouth shut. Ok? reguardless of weither or not you can handle it on your own, Houka still has his uses. So don't put him down, you hear me? We can't work together if someone is conceaded enough to think they can handle it on their own. Now thats the end of it. Drop it. " he said and turned to houka. " thats a good idea houka. Useing bushins will not only create the allusion that their are more than three of us, but it will also confuse them when they get close if they have never seen that jutsu before. It might be even more effective if you combin it with a transformation technique. But don't strain yourself too hard. We don't know anything about these bandits, and that includes if we'll see any of them. So lets get moveing, and keep your guard." He said, lighting his lantern and heading into the cave ahead of the other two.

(how many times do we haft to roll?)

(roll)

(edit- where are the bleeping rolls?)

(edited edit- I rolled in the recruitment thread... dunno about you guys, but I cant see my rolls here...)

(and you must have a slow connection or somethin because your rolls show up fine here. the first one was a 2 and the second one 16.)

(Ok, cut it out. No need for you two to fight each other in real life too. I appreciate both of ya and i'm patient enough to endure everything(has is my char...he take rarely an offense. And Zanza play is character like that and Ame char is played like that. That,s normal, that's true role playing. Don't worry, my char will soften you two XD. But if you really want to come back to your village, its your decision. I'll be sad...your char is interesting. Ok, I'v read the whole thing now, for god sake I forgot to add that Houka was only adding his bushin jutsu to the idea of Ame. He was agreeing with Ame, just adding bushin to make a even higher distraction. I'll make it a little more clear next time.)

''Don't take it badly Ame, i'm not ignoring you. I'm agreeing with you...well some part of it. I'm also worried sick. I have some strange feelings about those bandits...that is all. And if you want to use your clone, use it after my bushin got pass Zanza. That way, your clones will have more chance to strike in the melee. Anyway, I'll relly on your good judgement.''

And Houka started to look around. He though he saw something lurking in the shadow of the cave...

(Look... my emotions, no matter how hard I try to keep them away, tend to affect my actual roleplaying.... and I've been feeling like crap all week. The mission has not been helping my mood in anyway... )

Ame moved silently through the cave. She didn't bother answering to Houka. There was no point... And if she did use her clones, Zanza would yell at her for 'not letting Houka do what he needs to do'... She just stayed between the two boys... like a little girl being protected... she hated that anyalogy...

(Are you sure that I can use that 16?)

Ame nodded and took the scroll and lantern. She set the lantern on a small ledge and opened the scroll slightly... she wanted to make sure it wasn't a trap that sensei had set. Luckily, it was one of the markers that was placed in the caves for them to collect... She watched and waited, as told, for Zanza to return...
