I think we should figure out what the Devouring Crucible does, so...

[X] A core in your stomach is worth pills in the future. Take in the power now, you have earned it.

I'd rather take our reward now than spend AP when we are already under time pressure.
 
[X] You can use every ounce of cultivation you can muster. A delay will be worth it. You will seek a refiner who can work with demon cores.

We have a deadline. Let's take the power now and use it to meet the other goals required for entering the Sect.

Lets go to the Ghost that will make the results better. Also the MC is a hunter he understands delayed gratification for maximum results.

I'm not sure I want to be in debt to the Ghost, but I don't want to risk the raw core having unexpected effects on us.

Yeah, I don't think talismans or pills is what the Ghost refered to here:

This is the Ghost saying the MC should hunt the demon, and we can benefit from it. Regardless the Ghost can teach us what to do with the materials in a safer and more effective way which is valuable and can help offset the risks of eating an energy field bigger than your head.

This is part of what the cycling tech is used for, I highly doubt that the effect is harmful.

We'd have to find said alchemist, it's not certain that the Ghost is an alchemist, and we'd have to pay for the services. Meanwhile we still need to advance our cultivation and we only have 9 actions left before the deadline. The actions wording and placement under Personal Action makes it uncertaon whether the demon hunt counts as progress towards getting the sect's approval.

@KreenWarrior @Wynter Can other cultivators also use pills/elixirs made from demon cores?

Patience, im sure the ghost can guide us.

Greedy choice as always

Heh, first direct hit and it's ruined. With how shitty Lind's defence is and the quality of the armour... I'm not sure it's worth to repair it

Yah the armor isn't worth the repair action, maybe when we are a higher level Lind can get some amour but for now it's just too much of a cost to have amour for too little benefit. Maybe Lind can learn a defensive technique to account for his lack of defense and armor.

We are not a beast that tears into our prey the second it is dead.
We are human, a hunter. We kill our quarry and take our spoils home to process them, either to remove dangerous parts or improve positive effects.

Better to get someone who knows what they're doing. I do not want something to go wrong because we were ignorant of something.

People already seem wary of us because of the Ghost, and we're still none the wiser about the reasons...
Maybe refraining from doing things without knowing what they mean is a good course of action.

The Ghosts are the boogeyman of the Emperor who the populace don't like all that much:
KreenWarrior said:
Today, the Kingdom is chained.

Subordinate to its Saviour and Conqueror Cao Feng. He who saved the world from the brink of ruin only to ensnare it in his own clutches.

Using forbidden arts, the emperor and his followers forced half of the continent to bow to his will. The Emerald Kingdom did not escape this fate. Although the Kingdom has nominal independence of governance and rule, it pays heavy tribute and must tithe of its cultivators to the Empire to serve in the armies.

A deep bow before the Ghost allows you to rise after an agonising few seconds. You have never seen one of the Silver Ghosts, but you recognize the stories. The masked men and women rank among Cao Feng's most dangerous and powerful servants. Police, enforcers, inquisitors. Committers of atrocities, suppressors of rebellions. Deadly warriors, infused with powers rumored to come from the harvesting of lesser cultivators. Some say they cannot die.

I don't mind asking the Ghost a few questions though. We should take this action to see exactly what kind of mess we're in:

[] The Ghost has been seen around the sect and village, though most tend to keep a wide berth to him. Perhaps once you finish what you started, he might lend you his ear?

I suppose people will/might believe that Lind will be some kind of informant, but eh don't see how one additional interaction can make things that much worse.

As long as it doesn't add dice to the defence pool. Maybe some kind of regen tech? Might be better to spend Qi on defeating the enemies faster... Anyway we def. need a tech for close combat.
 
Yeah a tech that allows is to hit harder, regen health or has a lifesteal tech would be ideal for our current build i think.
