Forge of Destiny(Xianxia Quest)

[X] Tag along to make sure Zhengui and Hanyi get along the next time they play
[X] Be prepared to take Xiulan out for some fun, whether in commiseration or celebration
[X] Motherhas had some time to settle, so you should spend some more time with her, and see if she needs anything


Hmmm.

@yrsillar could we get an option where we share the valley with Meizhen? The valley being helpful to her and cui also, was part of the appeal of the option for quite a few people.

I personally want to help Meizhen to get first place in the tourney for both our sake and hers.

This was a great update! The conversation with Zeqing was enlightening about how she feels towards Hanyi and the training with her continues to pay dividends week in and week out. Now, however, I am going to postulate a most daring of plans. A plan that will have people rue the day they ever conceived of beating Ling Qi!

Ok, this plan is complicated in its format but simple in what it wants to do. We have four Yin arts that can proc SLP (FSS, FVM, SCS, AE) and we have 6 meridians needed so that we can have everything equipped and train AM (Lung, Lung, Leg, Leg, Arm, Head) 4 x 2 = 8 + 6 = 14. Hire a tutor both weeks for the additional two actions.

Training the arts with the tutors is the best use of them currently, and FSS is best trained by Zeqing, which leaves one of our training buddies to pick up another art. I choose Meizhen and SCS because in the past she was interested in what it could do. I don't particularly care if AE is trained with her and SCS is trained with the tutor, but hiring a tutor for two arts that are both dark/lung seems thematically appropriate to me.

This gets a full 14 qi rolls from SLP. Due to expense, I took off the Earth pill from the second week as it won't be needed to get AE to level 3. I don't know if we can invite Xiulan to the white room if she is going to be doing closed door cultivation, but that is an option instead of Li Suyin.

Suggestions, critiques, comments and blatant rip-offs are welcomed.

Edit: music exotic element added to resources.

I want ALL the minors!

But, uh, I guess I'll just vote for these three for now.

[X] Su Ling and the Ma Sisters are looking to acquire spirit beasts, maybe you can help a bit?
[X] Mother has had some time to settle, so you should spend some more time with her, and see if she needs anything
[X] Sixiang will be casting off their physical form soon enough, and you have had some fun. See if there is something the spirit would like to do before they go?

[X] Tag along to make sure Zhengui and Hanyi get along the next time they play
[X] Mother has had some time to settle, so you should spend some more time with her, and see if she needs anything
[X] Sixiang will be casting off their physical form soon enough, and you have had some fun. See if there is something the spirit would like to do before they go?

Little iffy about Sixiang. Could potentially be convinved to switch that.


If we want Hanyi, having her get along with Zhengui would be good. Mother is non negotiable as far as I am concerned.

And the Gan/Forest Boy option is gone. Damnit.

Probably worth noting that, while Ling Qi continues to be socially oblivious, Zeqing's speech might well be applied equally to her.

Applying to Zeqing? Possibly, but I find it unlikely in the near future. And with the conversation regarding still having a year left in the sect, it made me think of a narrower time frame then what we could possibly have for binding Zeqing.

Well, it's a pity but there are three minors I think are much more important than the others:

[X] Be prepared to take Xiulan out for some fun, whether in commiseration or celebration

We need to continue our flawless tradition of celebrating our friend's breakthroughs.

[X] Mother has had some time to settle, so you should spend some more time with her, and see if she needs anything
We ignored our mom last week, so I don't think we can afford to do it a second time a row there.

[X] Sixiang will be casting off their physical form soon enough, and you have had some fun. See if there is something the spirit would like to do before they go?
Sixiang goodbye is very very likely to be plot heavy and necessary for longer dreaming moon chain quests later on.

[X] Be prepared to take Xiulan out for some fun, whether in commiseration or celebration
[X] Mother has had some time to settle, so you should spend some more time with her, and see if she needs anything
[X] Sixiang will be casting off their physical form soon enough, and you have had some fun. See if there is something the spirit would like to do before they go?

Some really nice character moments there with the spirits.

[X] Su Ling and the Ma Sisters are looking to acquire spirit beasts, maybe you can help a bit?
[X] Mother has had some time to settle, so you should spend some more time with her, and see if she needs anything
[X] Sixiang will be casting off their physical form soon enough, and you have had some fun. See if there is something the spirit would like to do before they go?

Tallying

[X] Be prepared to take Xiulan out for some fun, whether in commiseration or celebration
[X] Mother has had some time to settle, so you should spend some more time with her, and see if she needs anything
[X] Sixiang will be casting off their physical form soon enough, and you have had some fun. See if there is something the spirit would like to do before they go?

Do we even talk to Han Jian anymore?

I'm switching to this over the Su and Ma action since it was pointed out to me that Xiulan is attempting a breakthrough and our relationship with her is important to me. I chose the Su & Ma action to switch out since it's the lowest on votes out of the options I favor.
[X] Tag along to make sure Zhengui and Hanyi get along the next time they play

We talked to him a bit when exchanging the last set of AM and AS, but he is deep in his training and so are we, so not as much as we used to.

He also has made some comments about being competitors and so interacting with him before the tournament might be a tad... awkward. Hopefully we can still be friends after the tournament.

No, apply to Ling Qi. As in, Zeqing could have been obliquely telling Ling Qi of her feelings about their situation as well.

I want them all really badly, but as is I'll just go with the most time sensitive ones.
It's still hard to make given how high a chance there is of never getting around to ones we pass on now.
