Covering the retreat of the non-combatant civilians, maybe shocking the cavalry enough to deterr any immediate pursuit from them, I assume.

McGuffin's right on the money for this.Basic plan is to Unseat as many Riders as possible in for one turn in order to prevent faster persuit.Given the timeframe,Calvary is the most lethal thing a General can field,so if we can route them(or at the least stall them) we'll be able to make it to Owari without being harrassed and attacked the entire way....

Jingu automatically ties Yahata's Initiative, putting him at 12. Since they tie, highest Dodge bonus goes first, meaning Jingu goes before Yahata in Initiative.

Soyokaze could power stunt something to produce more, maybe something like...
Transform 8 (X into Oil, 200 lbs.; Continuous, Precise, Innate, Activation); 25 PP

giving us roughly 25 gallons, even more if you add on any additional flaws. Enough to maybe frighten the horses, at least. Buuuuut producing 200+ lbs of oil from just the alchemical reagents Soyokaze carries on him might be a stretch of the imagination, and ultimately it's Flynarrel's choice. It's one of the struggles of the play-by-post environment. More involved plans depending on the coordination of several players are difficult to form without the back-and-forth being at a table offers. Either way though I'm more than happy to flaunt some strength in a more straight-forward fight. :)
That much oil's kind of a stretch. If Soyokaze was to power stunt it'd be to make it so everyone avoids a fight, given the pacifist's nature, not to burn enemy soldiers alive.

Just so I know, why are we standing and fighting now? What's our goal? I totally get that the fighty types deserve a chance to flex their mighty thews, I'm cool with that, I'm just curious what the end-goal is.
Basically because the raiders would catch up with you if you decided to run to Owari, which was the plan, as I understood it. Actually Dai Jin was willing to slow the horses down for you to escape, but leaving her behind seems to be a poor choice. Also Hama's move others would be done with, so you couldnt outrun the horses, unless she power stunts again, which given the fatigue would be risky.
On that note, Hama could use the recovery action now, but she wouldnt be able to use it in the fight.

I've done a crash-course (IE, read a wikipedia page) on Japanese honorifics and will be implementing them in Hama's speech from here on. If I use one weirdly, do let me know.

I'm also revving up the banter here, because I see Hama as the type prone to friendly verbal sparring. If you'd like me to exclude your character from this, just say it and it shall be done.

A power stunt lasts the scene or until the array is reassigned. We could have kept vaulting all afternoon.

The cavalry arriving might be the transition from an exploration scene to a combat scene?

Yeah entering combat changes the scene. Perhaps I should have mentioned it explicitly. Sorry about that!

Combat has started. Also, in case no one noticed, I usually include stuff in the "subject" of posts. Like the name of this battle

If i "loosed Arrows" now,with the Raiders just in range,would it be considered an Ambush(assuming they don't know we're here) or my actual action?

And FYI,i'm not a 'True' Tactical Junkie.I just so happen to know a lot about Medival Warfare and played all the Valkyria Chronicles games... :D
