[X] Plan Purifiers

EDIT:
[X] Mining Deep

I'm not very happy with either of the currently leading plans, so I'll try to give an extra push to something that I like a bit better.

Aah, people don't wanna pick the option where our Demon MC has to rescue people from inhumane Church experiments? I think it'll be incredibly interesting, having them act against the church because of moral outrage.

The idea of a demon seeking redemption who fights against a corrupt church is interesting, but the idea of "We dig too deep!" & "MADNESS!" is more interesting to me. Just personal preference.
 
Tally. Note that Mining Deep actually has six votes, not five.

    You stand in a room that may have once served as a bedroom, watching from an ornate window while doing so. Glowing stones provide light for the mortals below, and you wonder how so many of them are there running around. A year ago you'd be plotting a way to lure them into corruption but now you simply watch as they avoid looking up towards the tower you've claimed as your own and wonder what they're thinking...

    So much is different now, and you've never felt so lost, yet so alive.

    You have so much to do, so much to understand...

    A pale monster looks pack at you from your reflection...

    You can't wait.

    Just wondering can they recall the memories they previously stolen? Or is it just a research amplifier?

    [X] Plan Longer seen but stealthier
    -[X] Train Fleeting Visage
    —[X] try to Extend the time limit by meditating in your visage
    -[X] Train you Stealth by moving unnoticed around the tower people already think it's haunted so it's a good training ground

    you know, we should probably choose an improvement to our lair to gain the bonus for said future actions.

    a bit lazy to make a plan but what I mean is maybe build a library to enhance reaserch questions or training grounds to enhance training to fight.
