Vorstallen Magic Preparatory - The Third-Best School for Young Mages in the Nation! Enrol Today!

[ ] Yes - Upgrade Edward's relationship from Edward Aster (Temporary Confidante) to Edward Aster (Laboratory Gofer). Will gain extra bonuses from Edward next term, however, you will damage your relationship with Inukar. You will lose 0-4 Actions per week (on average 2) to assist Edward. You will no longer be getting his Magical Theory tutoring, however, so you will have 7 Actions available per week.
Can we also get Magical Theory Tutoring? :X
 
[X] No - Leave things as they standard. Edward's relationship will go from Edward Aster (Temporary Confidante) to Edward Aster (Minor Waste of Time)
 
[X] Yes

A brilliant student who's ahead of us and leans on us can be levered against our opponents, and can also lever our skill and ability to new heights.
 
[X] Yes

It seems like we were headed towards those two classes anyway, as they are the ones that are most applicable for our stats.
 
[X] No - Leave things as they standard. Edward's relationship will go from Edward Aster (Temporary Confidante) to Edward Aster (Minor Waste of Time)
 
Of course, judging by our dice rolls that remains to be seen :cry:

Exams are much more tightly tied to skills than rolls. It's possible to flub an exam with bad rolls, but unlikely (exams are a series of dice with modifiers where the modifiers for high-scoring students are larger than the variation in the dice, and you'll be rolling 10+ dice for an exam. Studying - an Action that will open up in the Exam Period will also give you a number of rerolls as well.)
 
As an aside, I've just started Cultivators of Earth. It will take second fiddle to Vorstallen, and I do plan for a few fast initial updates there, but it'll eventually slow down quite a bit. But if you're into weird Xiaxia (and I intend this to be very weird) with a Western cultural focus rather than a Chinese one, this might be for you.
 
[X] No - Leave things as they standard. Edward's relationship will go from Edward Aster (Temporary Confidante) to Edward Aster (Minor Waste of Time)

Don't want to do alchemy elective.

@occipitallobe Why would it damage our relationship with Inukar?


Beyond that, I kind of want to find the Spirit she hid on campus.

This has to do with the arguments Inukar and Edward Ulos has chanced on. To sum up from what he knows - Inukar thinks Edward is taking some kind of foolish risk, whereas Edward thinks Inukar is a cowardly old man. Helping Edward with his experiments will make Inukar see Ulos as more-or-less disregarding all his advice on how to move forward.
 
[X] Yes

I want to take alchemy and runecraft anyway, so being forced to choose them doesn't seem like a big loss. Both Runecraft and Alchemy fits well in with our stats, and also seem useful for breaking the curse.

Main thing I'm concerned about is whether gaining some kind of bonuses from Edward later is worth damaging our relationship with Inukar right now. Accepting Edward's offer does seem like it'd be most in-character for Ulos at the moment, though.
 
history not worth the time probably
miranova's mystery, ulos/we not really suited for and we probably far too at the mercy of dice to attempt it
magical theory exam, ulos probably does well
spellweaving is dung, ulos below average there
hm
edward vs inukar. inukar more socially and academically important/useful, edward probably keeps ulos pushing boundaries of what ulos can do. lotta failure in the future either way, since the d100 roll is far more important than ulos' actual skills rn
personally think edward-option leads more interesting quest, inukar-non-option kind of stagnant. what would we even spend the actions gained from declining edward on? probably more or less the same things.
 
[X] Yes
Seems in keeping with our determination to take some risks. Maybe we can patch things up with Inukar by offering to keep an eye on the experiments?
 
Just found this quest and I am really enjoying it!

As for the vote, after looking at the options and seeing that there is no basic/advanced ritual class, which is something we should probably take when available to get some knowledge on how to break ongoing rituals, doing some alchemy and runecraft probably is a solid way forward, especially if we ace the Magic Theory exam. As such,

[X] Yes
 
[X] No - Leave things as they standard. Edward's relationship will go from Edward Aster (Temporary Confidante) to Edward Aster (Minor Waste of Time)

I have no particular desire to become Edward's laboratory gofer.
