We can probably slide that in as a side note in the action. "Hey, one of my former rivals--now possibly dire enemies--seems to really hate your guts, you might want to watch your step in case she pulls something" probably doesn't need a full action.

QM just said it'd be better as it's own action. We might be able to pull off a double dip, but it's probably just nullify the effects of both instead.

If you want to address a specific thing like that, the best way to do that is through one of the write in actions.

I suppose cultivation wise DEJ is probably a better bet than Meridians this turn. We're more likely to find pills in the market for the latter (and/or base) than for the former.
 
Ok, vote's open. Does anyone know if I can schedule a vote start without hitting that open voting check box and then editing the banner?
 
It will take some effort to come up with a way to do this without sounding condescending or embarrassed but we should see about getting Xiao teaching in etiquette or politics or high society or similar. Something so that she doesnt give someone an excuse to try and make crazy demands.

Edit: I know its doable since other quests do it but I dont know how.

New non-raggedy clothes are probably a good starting point.

-[X] Why were dirty dishes and laundry beginning to pile up in her room? Weren't there servants around to take care of… oh, she should probably try and hire a household staff. Why can't Mei Mei just do everything?
-[X] Was that a food stain on Xiao Lien's robe? Honestly, she'd put it off for long enough, but Quan Jia would see her friend wearing decent clothes if it killed her. It wouldn't really kill her though, would it?

I love that the only two plans so far are both basically the same lmao

(Tho mine does have a subaction about warning Xian about Luo)

Uh, that aside, how do we raise our Skills?

I'm still debating how mechanical I want their improvement to be, but at the moment, your best bet will be to look for a mentor and train with them.

Secondly, is finding a usable site meant to be this hard? We not only have to roll well enough on explore to find a site, but we then have to roll again to see if it even matches us, which seems like it'd take forever to find a suitable one.

that's the result at the reward tier you've rolled for exploration. It's probably safe to assume that higher rolls will result in sites being more likely (or guaranteed to be) useful.

-[X] You really should talk to Xiao Lien about the pig's threat. She seemed... really mad. And even if you're not going to let her hurt your friend, she probably deserves to know what to expect.
--[X] Otherwise, get with the wardrobe update! Maybe if she dresses better she'll be less of a target?

@dmclain2 Is this ok for a write-in? It suggested a general thrust and alternative action in case the first failed, so that's what I put.

Getting Our House In Order is nice but I'd prefer a plan that specifically has us talking to her about the pig's threat.

[X] Plan Keeping Pace
-[X] Explore the Market
--[X] Focus on looking for pills and cultivation resources.
-[X] Cultivate
--[X] Meridians X2

The reasoning hasn't changed from last action, so neither did the plan much. Besides making sure to get at least 2 cultivation action per turn I guess.

On that note, could we append the Xiao Lien social to a market exploration action? They both involve going out to buy stuff so it seems like it should be possible.

I'd rather not. I think it's more helpful to view actions as a proxy for creative writing on my end in situations like that.

For everyone, since it looks like all the plans have an explore the market option then (unless she fails the exploration roll) the next update will be whatever sect shop Quan Jia finds. You'll be able to buy and then use resources/etc. for the rest of the turn 2 vote.
