Mission name: So This is Treason?
Mission rank: SS
Objective: Kill the Daimyo of Kirigakure
Location: Mizu no Kuni, Daimyo's Palace
Reward: 5k Ryo
Mission description: The young Daimyo of kirigakure proved that he was more of a risk than an asset in the war against Seven Bells, his slow reaction proving that running a country divided into two leaders is inneffective. Taking her best warriors with her, as well as her swordsman of death, Ayakashi campaigns in secret against her own Daimyo, in an attempt to usurp his throne, and claim the mantle for herself, becoming the single ruling figure over her entire country.
Mission details:

The core of the mission itself will be broken up into three threads after weeks of preporation, each having an objective, though many preparation threads can precede this mission's actual word count. The word count must be met over the course of these 3 combined threads by all participants. Threads can be done in preporation to potentially evade or lessen the dangers in these threads Ie, sabotage, scouting, recon, recruitment etc to aid the thread with the use of strategy. Wounds, Damage, and chakra is carried over through all 3 mission threads.

PART 1
The first mission is infiltration of the compound itself, where all ninja taking part in the thread invade and make their way through the Daimyo's estate, avoiding suspicion/ detection from the samurai before forcing the General of the armies to submit, one way or another. Should he be killed, another must be elected in his place, to prevent the armies from simply swarming the ninja, and massacring them effortlessly.

PART 2
With the army paralyzed, or routed, this leaves only the Daimyo's personal guard. Each highly trained special Jounin rank samurai who have high quality weapons and training in both Taijutsu and Bukijutsu arts. At the end of the mission, the players will be faced down with an encounter with the captain of the Daimyo's guards, needing to kill her to proceed to the throne room.

FINAL PART
Entering the throne room of the Daimyo's manner, within there are only his Honour guard, each skilled diverse fighters loyal to only the Daimyo. Kill them and end the life of the young Daimyo.

Asking you if it is possible that i can be on your team for this mission

Sure, but this still needs admin approval... come on peeps

Bump

The concept of the thread, I have little issue with.

But it's a bit easy for SS-rank, I'd say; with several of your best shinobi and two of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen accompanying you by default, this mission is not SS-rank. Alone, yes, that might work.

As-is (that is, if you would take it alone) if you wanted to qualify for an SS-rank mission, the guards would have to be a lot more skilled. Guards with abilities capped at C-rank are child's play for any of Kirigakure's strongest; that being said, the Palace Guard are nothing to the Mizukage either. The Guard Captain and Honor Guard should prove especially tough to take out. This is considering the Mizukage alone is fighting.

With at least 2 Ninja Swordsmen, hand-picked as the strongest Bukijutsu users of Kirigakure, in addition to whomever else you might take, the mission's failure rate should grow very much higher. You might need to add in more enemies, or make them stronger. This is just too easy in its current state.

They're Samurai, they're skilled and don't often use chakra abilities, which is why their weapons and specs are high rank. Also, i think you fail to see how many of them there are, which is my fault.

The B rank guys, like, just the soldiers, Tens of THOUSANDS, its the standing army of the nation, there are battalions.

The palace guard, 5 'Hundred' men?

Fighting in this mission is almost suicide.

Detail general skill relative to ninja rank for each of the enemies, and then raise the persuasion requirement for Akai Hattori to at least double. I'd also like there to be a static cap on how many people can actually be taken on this mission.

Could me exactly in no uncertain terms what you want me to change, I'm not quite following. I give their specs, weapons, and ranks of skill with them. So, like, what more would you like to know?

So yeah, if you tell me what precisely you want, I will change it. Also, as a side note, there is a lot of buildup in non mission threads for this thang.

I apologize for my vacuity in presence on this....

I want a few higher-ranked enemies. I don't mind if the masses stay at their current rank (or even get lowered in number a small bit), but I want at least a few enemies at equal rank to those who are taking the mission on. Quality above quantity and all that.
Akai Hattori (or another person if you still wish for Akai to be weak as well as able to be persuaded), the Guard Captain, and an Honor Guard Captain or other direct protector of the Daimyo can be S, S, and SS-rank. I don't agree that the only types of people guarding the Daimyo should be Samurai; that's just not likely for someone of high status to be guarded by only one type of specialist. Give at least the higher-ranked targets some other capabilities besides Tai and Buki, as you have with the Guard Captain.

I presume you already meant to do so anyhow, but mention that wounds, stamina, and chakra transfer over between the three threads so there's no confusion.

I'm being a bit harsh on this because you are killing the Daimyo and trying to wrest complete control of your nation; but also, as the rules say, the tiniest slip-up and you die. This will be a good example of what an SS-rank mission should look like.

SS-Rank requires Staff to take control of one of the NPC's or something like that...

And i guess Tame is right we could at least have some of them able to use the entire Suiton library and perhaps the missing Doton library or made up Doton to give them an advantage against Suiton itself. Just thought i would give some of my ideas. Oh and maybe a wall of archers as well would fit in with it. Perhaps 1 or 2 Elite shinobi guarding the Dameon

Well, considering this is a stealth mission, in some cases the thousands of soldier's just don't matter. Chances are there will be very few fights cos the key enemies nine times out of ten will be disposed of before they can react. That's the plan anyways. Until the throne room.

Though, heres the thing, the Daimyo's 'do' only generally control samurai. The might have a few ninja, but, its the Kage's job to train and control them. A Daimyo might have some mercenary forces, but why keep them at your palace? It makes little sense.

I can up the rank of things, sure, but attacking this compound shouldn't be any harder than sasuke hitting the kage summit.

That being said, kiri does to date have reason to have the strongest standing military.

EDITS made it harder.

BUMP

kinda need this approved

Omg I can le bump too >_>

I'm going to have to ask anyone that is not Ayakashi to stop posting in this thread. This if for Ayakashi and the mission mods. It will be looked at shortly, you guys pestering it to be looked at when it's not your mission is getting annoying.

Oh okay so only the person apping it can reply nut not the other people who will be doing it. My mistake I will leave you and the rest of the staff to it. Again sorry.

BUMP...

I'm confused though about the scaling power level of the generals. In the first part of the mission, you're fighting a SS Rank samurai genreal with nearly all of his stats at SS and his specialties as well while he's leading a group of C Ranked samurai. But in the next portion, you have to fight samurai that are significantly stronger than the one you faced in the part one, and the leading samurai is signifficantly weaker than the ones you faced in part one as well.


There also needs to be WC per each section of the mission as well. I would suggest that they should all be at the very least S Rank WC in total, and the last portion should be 4000.

They're three parts to the SS rank mission, so, with all three combined they have to add up to 10k

And yeah, they get harder and easier at varying times, cos, not everyone in the ninja world is crazy strong. The woman fights with incredible equipment and powerful allies, while the general, who is higher rank than her, is powerful, wise, but old and tires easily. It's not meant to get progressively harder, its about systematically eliminating the people who matter the most, in order.

BUMP

Soldiers, Palace Guard, Honour Guard: 25 thousand soldiers (or 500, or even 10) are not all limited to Wind Release. You can make it so each only has one element, but each one can have any of the 5 elements. In addition, why can't any of the generic people use stuff of one rank higher? They're normal just like everyone else. (more important for the 10, not as much the bigger masses)

Mission wrote:Between each of these threads, preparation threads can be used to alleviate the stress or dangers from the mission itself.

What exactly does this entail? It's kinda vague.

Hattori: I explicated in an earlier post that another foe is to be SS-rank instead of him if you wanted to keep the fatigue and the diplomatic victory option.

So you do need to go through those 500 Palace Guardsmen to get to the captain, right? I don't want it to just be another repeat of the first part. Either way, due to the fact that you pointed out that those 25-thousand samurai from the first part are essentially not a factor, I want it to be compensated for somewhere else. All of the major figures (Akai, Guard Captain, Meiser) are to have 1 extra spec and element that are 'unknown' in the briefing.

This is a mission. The only thing we have to do is kill the Daimyo in such a way Aya gets put there. If you kill off the force you intend to control there is no point. This is essentially, a hellishly hard stealth mission for the first part, and for the second, its about not getting caught in the deathtrap of half a battalion of elite troops.

In the first part, if the party are discovered as hostile, its over, mission failed, retreat or die. I can make the swordswoman SS rank.

Also, they are Samurai, not ninja, they don't have ninja academy training. They have the basic sword enchantment abilities like the iron samurai did in the show. Maybe some others. Aya and Mizu-no-kuni don't train these guys, so i am keeping them very different from ninja. That's the point. They would have some Chakra experts, but they would be more like daoist advisers or monks than ninja.

It's Iga VS the Tokugawa shogunate. Not Iga VS Koga.

EDIT: It entails that we can do other threads to prep things for this mission, Ie, stratagems or things we could use to aid 'us' in the mission. Ie, might enlist help from other places. cause a distraction, set up a meeting. This is meant to be a thinking mission, going in guns blazing in this mission is meant to be almost the wrong answer, save for the several 'boss fights'

Those 25 thousand ARE a factor, they're a massive factor, we have to reason our way around or through them as ninja, without being detected as hostile elements. That could be rather hard.

Alright. I've noted that this is primarily a stealth mission other than the boss fights.

I'll concede on everything regarding the fights except for the bosses each having one 'unknown' spec and element, incidentally.

Splitting up the mission itself into smaller threads is fine (because there's continuity of chakra/damage between all of them), but I don't think that warrants being able to do things outside of the mission threads that can impact it. Other SS-missions don't get to do that.
