let's kill her

Considering what Mary Smythe did back in Gallipoli, can I get some preliminary odds for taking her down? Assuming Mhic Nathair has the same face as she she did back there, Ryuji would recognize her from all the time he spent as a medic/working in those tents, and remembers incredibly well the betrayal of one of the nurses that slit the soldiers' throats (he and 9S tried to save one). Probably enough to have a personal vendetta against her.
Few thoughts here; I'm just spitballing some ideas.
1. I'm completely willing to accept Ryuji's death as an outcome, hell, even encouraging it to be honest
2. He would probably try to rally some people to do it with him, so it might not be alone (assuming, here, that she'd never step foot in the arena).
3. Assuming that, okay, maybe a full frontal assassination mission might not be very viable, what about the metaverse? If that's on the table, he'd like to go in there and steal her heart (probably harder, all things considered), or outright skip the mechanic altogether of trying to rehabilitate her into feeling remorse for what she did, and just completely damage the cornerstone of her psyche enough to cause massive instability (known as a mental shutdown in P5- it usually ends with the person committing suicide).
Or if any of this is completely out of scope and off the table because there's plans for her, that's cool too. I imagine Ryuji would still like to try (see #1).
Mod Response:
So! While we completely encourage this kind of plot, this isn't the thread for it; this thread is for filling out the textarea and getting rolls on if your character dies in the arena battles. What you're asking for is more akin to a player plot, which you can put on the above linked player plot page, or up in the general questions if you'd prefer to keep it all on the same page. That all said, I REALLY REALLY REALLY encourage you to go through with it, there are definitely a lot of ways to go about it, and it may be something that could have serious effect on the plot later down the line.
All we'd need from you is:
-Who is involved.
-What's their method of attack / extraction / whatever?
-What's their ultimate goal?
-Do you want any outcomes rng'd by us (and if so, what)?
Feel free to stick that in either of the linked spaces and we'll get back to you asap.

What's their method of attack / extraction / whatever?: Two pronged approach.
Team A (Mordred, Mamoru): will work together to confront Mhic Nathair head on. Their ultimate goal is to get her defenses weakened down enough to either a) extract her away from her Shabti long enough to make her fear that her life is in danger/her role within the Regency will be compromised or b) outright attempt assassination should the plans of Team B fail to meet their ultimate goal.
Team B (Rey, Jon, 9S, and Ryuji): will enter the Metaverse and look for her shadow self. Since Jhasch is filled with violence and there's a coordination of many political presences, the corruption should be large enough to form its own entity in this metaphysical realm.
What is their ultimate goal?: In order of preference from best outcome to worst.
-Jon, Rey, and Ryuji would like to steal her heart (which would take the material form of some tangible object in the metaverse) and reform her, making her repent and defect to COST's cause
-If that doesn't work, the next best option is to kill her shadow self outright, which would basically be like destroying her soul (she would die immediately). Alternative option is to destroy the treasure. That will cause massive mental instability in her and cause a mental shutdown. Think of it like wiping a person's brain to a clean state and making them go ballistic
-If all else fails, Mordred and Mamoru will try physical combat in the real world
-In the worst case scenario, it's a total party kill. Some, or all of the members die in the Metaverse, or Team A will be overpowered and killed by Mhic Nathair and her shabti.
Do you want any outcomes rng'd by us (and if so, what)?: We can provide some modifiers and reasonable arguments for what the party's specific strengths are here, but I think RNG could be employed in the following ways, with outright pass/fail being a sort of grey area and depending on the scale of events that happen
-9S's hacking ability success/fail (we're looking to use this to hack from within and make our lives easier in the metaverse)
-Success/Fail for stealing her heart (vs killing her from within, vs forcing Team A into a scuffle)
-Success/Fail for escaping (Team A: kidnapping/absconding after murder, general success of the Team B to get out of the Metaverse unscathed, particularly the part that contains Mhic Nathair's heart, as it'll start to crumble once/if the heart is stolen)
