Counting wrong, Closing in is winning by 2+
"Closing in" is the Pacify option...
Just missed the vote. Pacify won.[X] Continue distracting the hill beast while your subordinates and Zhengui wall off the remaining exits from its valley, then vanish, and only engage again if it looks to be breaking out.
[X] Close in, relying on Sixiang to keep it's toxic aura from affecting you, between your music and your subordinates ritualism, it should be possible to pacify the creature.
Obviously it is simply a result of Ling Qi be Mysterious as the Moon to the extent that even she has no idea!I am proud to present Ling Qi with the "Most Likely To Cause Your Subordinates and Supervisor To Say 'What The Flying Fuck Is She Doing?'" Award. I now regret not jumping into the thread like I'd wanted to.
So like we make it go to sleep again, now what? cultivate there?
.............Honestly what is the goal, with pacify. Like I know kill already lost...but I'm still mad. Like I cannot picture our superiors being that impressed by this option. If it even works...
Edit: are we just perma staying around this damn hill now? Otherwise we should have just sealed it in the valley. I just...sigh
There was another option though. Even from here, she could sense the spirits anguish, it made no effort to cloak its spirit. The whole of its being was suffused with pain. Frankly, if she could not sense its unwavering well of vitality, she would have thought that it was dying. However, whatever it was, it had been dormant before they had disturbed it with their presence. Perhaps she could try to pacify the creature and lull it back into that state, so that perhaps a more experienced cultivator in the main group could purify the thing.
If it's pacified and goes to sleep, it'll be polluting the area less. It's a cleaner Contain that leaves the main forces more options, if it's successful.Honestly what is the goal, with pacify.

Possibly. While there is nothing solid stating that the essence in the dagger has to deal with death, it would be strange to me if it didn't. Given the fact that it's a dagger wielded someone who receives the patronage of the Bloody Moon.We know Jiao mentioned getting better death... memories(?) from a melee weapon kill than a kill with an arrow. It could be related to that.
