[k] @Benkei They are said to wander the lands of Japan posing riddles while dressed as monks and killing any who cannot answer... [k] @Benkei A variant of the crab monk yokai!

[k] @Inshun That must be why some of them are already in their shells. [k] @Inshun And no wonder. They know the Con can never hurt them through those shells, no matter how much we may weaken them. [k] [charaFadeout M 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut S 0,0] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 7] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Mash Th-then what if we broke their shells open? Would that do it? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [charaPut S 2000,2000] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk M] [charaFace M 4] [charaFadein M 0.1 1] @Inshun You want us to not only weaken them as much as possible, but also break open their shells without damaging their insides? [k] @Inshun I, who mastered the Houzouin style, should be able to manage that, but what about the rest of you? [k] @Inshun Do you think you could execute such an intricate attack?

[k] [charaFadeout L 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk M] [charaFace M 0] [charaFadein M 0.1 1] @Inshun Then I'm afraid I alone won't be able to crack open so many shells. [k] @Inshun The fact is, this is a war, small though the scale of it may be. And it is one that the Con themselves need to fight. [k] @Inshun So it may be that the Con need to deal the final blow... [k] @Inshun ...by piercing the crabs' shells and striking their exposed weak point. [k] [charaFadeout M 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut S 0,0] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 13] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Unfortunately, answering their riddle might remove their enhancement, but it doesn't do anything about their shells. [k] @Da Vinci And the Con just don't have the strength to break through them. [k] [charaFace A 24] @Da Vinci Which means the only option we have is... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaPut S 2000,2000] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 6] [charaFadein F 0.1 176,0] @Trưng Trắc ... [k] [charaFace F 4] @Trưng Trắc Then I guess we have no choice but to retreat for the time being. [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut S 0,0] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 0] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Yup. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [charaPut S 2000,2000] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk M] [charaFace M 1] [charaFadein M 0.1 1] @Inshun As they say, they who fight and run away, live to fight another day. Retreat is our best option here. [k] @Inshun I suspect you all had the same thought as well. [k] [charaFace M 3] @Inshun However, whether or not this is what the Buddha would do, I can't say, as I am still in training.
