Rules:

Steps can be repeated if failed, but each participant can take only the number of steps equal to their Earth x2 before they get Fatigued. For each attempt later they take 1k1 explosive exhaustion damage. Rolls can be assisted, but it consumes one action slot of all involved.
Each effective Raise on a roll gives a FR on the next roll in the logical sequence.
Regular success is enough; failure means that the step has failed and needs to be repeated.
Each person with 3 failures on whatever roll during the event immediately earns Curse of Sakkaku - the goo hit too many times. If it is Hikari, it enters new levels of bad. If the amount of total failures of the group reaches 8, Orochi comes into play, and the event is an automatic failure.
Those having Curse of Sakkaku have all their TNs in the event increased by 3.
At any point (even after the Orochi comes into play) the event can be redeemed if Hikari loudly calls for Chishiru to give their relationship a second chance, confessing she'll try to make it work on some level. It's a Awareness/Sincerity roll vs. TN15, and can be a lie. The consequences of this will be role-played later.
The difficulty for actions on the First Ward are TN15, and then increase by 5 with each next one, the last having it at TN30. This is because the mujina turn their efforts to eleven as the exorcists become more and more successful. This only applies to Step rolls, not to Importuning or activating Kata, Techniques etc. For Spellcasting TNs the higher apples - based on Steps or on RAW TN, before scarcity Raises (which apply anyway).
All Spells with Ward keyword for a given shugenja count as wards for the event. If the shugenja cannot cast a ward for whatever reason, and cannot importune it (by normal mechanics of Importuning), or the person is not a shugenja, it can be improvised by Intelligence/Spellcraft with TN+10 on top of the difficulty of establishing the ward appropriate for the step. If an improvised ward has to be of any particular element, a Raise has to be called on top of that for no effect.
If each ward is of a different element and the event is a success, the event will result in a greater victory.
Kami scarcity rules apply, also to Importune mechanics.
Yajinden should not be planned; he will involve himself if and when he wishes.

Steps:

#0. Establish base camp. This needs to be done only once and Steps TNs don't apply. It's Either Fire Trait/Engineering, Hunting, Craft: Carpentry or Craft: Shipbuilding (if you go for a raft) vs. 25. Local debris, jungle and flotsam provides sufficient material. This still consumes action slots.
#1. Build a barricade. Same roll selection as #0, just has to be repeated for every Step at appropriate TN.
#2. Run with the barricade. Strength/Athletics (Running or Swimming) or Reflexes/Defence or Perception/Battle. If Sense Void was activated by the character undertaking the action prior to this, the step has 2FR as the faults in reality allow to diagnose how to plan the run.
#3. Run to the barricade. Skippable if #2 was done by someone who will try to establish a ward.
#4. Establish the ward. See Rules. Casting Sense, Commune or Summon of the element the ward is supposed to be of before the roll provides a FR to the main one.
#5. Fall back to the basecamp. Same as #2, but success is not needed - failure still counts to the limit.
#6. The Mujina-Grilling Ritual. Can only be done once all four wards are in place. It does not follow Step rules. It's a Cooperative Intelligence/Spellcraft Roll vs. TN60, with each spell slot expended by any participant counting as a FR on a single attempt. Can be repeated without the need to reestablish wards.

Establish 4 wards around Yamato Maru, then channel the linking cross-cutting energies onto the sand castle. The approach is a problem, so booths and barricades should be made, then run with to the spot and held as long as it takes for a shugenja to arrive to place a ward. Some time needed to shoving the loose sand away in that place is needed, so it cannot be just run & ward, sadly. It's of course easier if the shugenja puts the barricade in place, then establishes the ward themselves, but the intensity of goo fire will probably disallow that. Once wards are in place, shugenja should pull back and actually conduct a ritual to do so.

Once the base camp was secured, Ran began building. She put blinders on and only focused on what she needed to do, here and now - what she could do to help. She put her hands to good work, grabbing what she could, tying pieces together for stabilization, and securing the load so it could be carried but large enough to protect samurai from the incoming onslaught of goo. "One barricade!" she called out as her handiwork was ready, and she set to work on the second. D8 EA Step 1: Intell/Craft:Shipbuilding Void 1k1 TN 25: 3#6d10o10k4 37 26 26

While the engineers went to work on the barricade, Hikari offered a quick prayer to the kami, strengthening her mental faculties. Then she ran over to the barricade... fell on her face halfway there... making it on the second run, and once more called upon the kami... succesfully placing down a ward.

Still flexing as the second barricade got finished, he did not make Ran wait for long before he picked it up and dashed towards the waters.

"Third barricade! Next!" Ran had exhausted the debris and etc she had in her vicinity - she was done her part of making barricades, they all held true. She hoped the next part would go off brilliantly as well. Her gaze kept tracking back to Seppun Hikari-sama, despite the chaos on the beach.

Hikari bobbed and weaved to the next ward site; made a quick prayer entreating the kami, and then placed down the second ward.
