When Suki caught up to Umichi, he smiled to himself, but as he turned to look at her, she fell behind and trotted to her cousin. Looking ahead, he sighed softly so neither would hear. They are cousins, nothing to worry about. he forced himself to think, before his thoughts wandered. His thoughts raced around for a moment, before finalizing one thing I am nothing but a fool when it comes to her he smiled to himself, laughed in his mind at his own foolishness, and how quickly he became a fool. He tried to listen on their conversation, but could only get bits and pieces. Some of them were "idiot", "not mad", "guy" and "try". There wasn't enough for him to piece together the conversation, so he was lost.
Seeing that Suki and Paka were getting along again, and approaching him he smiled and thought It's good they are getting along again. I just hope he doesn't try to take my neck or something. "It's good that you two are ..." Umichi trailed off. He put up his right hand indicating to stop, and looked both left and right. Although he knew where the enemies were hiding due to <<Detection>> he still looked the other way, just in case. Facing right, he pointed at a tree, and then another. "Between there, five of them" he whispered to Suki and Paka.
Using his hands to indicate a pincer attack, he softly said, "You two on the right, I'll go from the left." It would be more effective to get them all at once, and take them by surprise. Of course without the <<Hiding>> skill, it would not have been easy to just hide and take them by surprise, but it should be simple enough for the low levels. Umichi was careful, because he did not want another hoard attack, nor to be taken by surprise by the Nepents. However, he did not realise that the Nepents were rooted, to the ground. They could not move themselves, but they could use their roots to attack still. The roots attack would not sprout from underneath like it did from the Large Nepents though, making it simpler.
Hoping they would agree to the strategy of attack, Umichi would creep from the left, and would see that there were five Nepents, if they did agree. All of the Nepents rooted in the ground, their roots would be wriggling above the ground though, some of their roots at least. The Nepents were the same as a normal Nepent essentially, in terms of exp, health and level. Two Nepents would be near him, and three were on the other side where Suki and Paka would be. If Suki and Paka were in position, Umichi would begin charging a <<Sonic Leap>> and charge one of the Rooted Nepents, quickly execute a <<Horizontal>> from a crouched position, finishing the two on his side getting one of the Nepent Saps. This would only happen if both Paka and Suki agreed. Otherwise, it would not happen.
