[X] Cut Droopy down. Droopy will go off and do his own thing.
[x] Attempt to peacefully gather spirit herbs. This will require a survival check. A fail may result in combat with the herd.

-[X] If they become aggressive just use EDP to climb back up the cliff and avoid a fight
 
I would note that for Droopy Yang walked away while directing Buns and Li away before they spotted him so it's really down to whether we want to cut him down and be a nice guy or leave him there cause fuck him.
 
[X] Write-in: Request a third of the spirit herbs Droopy has gathered so far in exchange for helping him. Inform him that you are willing to lend aid to your fellow disciples but this generosity has its bounds. If he believes this is unfair of Hua Yin, he can reject the offer. Either way, he should think twice before trying to sabotage Hua or his friends in the future.

-[X] Try to talk with them before approaching. If they start to show hostility and ready themselves to fight, back off.
--[X] If the fuzhu is amicable, try to pet him?

Edit: changed vote for reign write-in.

In another hand, I really like Hua Yin trying to resolve the problem with words and reason before jumping the gun. We can try to talk to the deers, and if they start to be angry, we can go away.

Edit: Edited a subvote to pet the deer.

Perhaps Droopy can repay us with some spirit herbs?
I'm also tempted by the spirit herbs that the deer are nibbling.

From wikipedia,

Fuzhu is described to be a kind of deer with four horns. It is described as being gentle and having a likeness to be clean. The Fuzhu usually appears during periods of flood.

I also think it might have sun/light attributes. And that would be what both Hua Yin and Yang are looking for.

Maybe it could lead us to a font?

-[X] If they attempt to run, have Feng track them to where they are fleeing to.

Hope this isn't too many subclauses, @warumono

Yah we could have some common decency but don't trust him.

I don't think the MC would do it because of his awareness of his more violent tendencies, I think he would be cautious but not go looking to kill anything, also as a Spirit Rank it could be intelligent and I don't think the MC is ready to kill an intelligent being.

Reasoning:
- Droopy really could've fucked over Hua Yin's chances in the exam if the dice hadn't been on our side there. Not getting Top 3 would've meant no Earth-Defying Path.
- We even had to give a copy of the medical notes to Zhe Chao and we all know that bastard is bound to start something with us sooner or later.
- This will send a message to the rest of the disciples that we will not simply turn the other cheek when someone spits in our face. Hua Yin can be kind and generous to his friends, but showing compassion to those who have wronged you is folly in my opinion.
- Honestly, Droopy should not be surprised given his past actions. It might create resentment, sure, but he should've known something was coming when he pissed off the #2 cultivator in the class. Asking for a third will take more time out of his day but a lot less than asking for half or even all. If anything, this is lenient.

edit: I just realized the herbs require a Survival check, which Hua has 0 in.

[X] Leave the beautiful creatures alone. Hua Yin's reward is to be one of the few to ever witness a fuzhu

I'm split on whether to cut Droopy down or leave him, but I definitely don't want to try to extort him for spirit herbs -- that'll just play into all the negative rumors about Hua Yin, and I'd really rather avoid that. As for the fuzhu...

Yeah, Yang framing it as "Droopy stole your notes" is not the best. We've already settled things with Droopy, so I'm thinking that we should view this as a separate thing.
