"After being interrogated by him for a while, he was generous enough to provide an escort back to the Kingdoms, and we made our own way back here."
You frown. "Interrogated?" you ask worridly.
Robin raises a placating hand. "Just a precaution on his part, nothing hostile.
I feel like "questioned" would be a more accurate term than "interrogated" here. (Note: This is a criticism of Robin, not the QM. The writing is fine as is.)
Should be a comma after "Yes".
just ignoring the crowd and keeping talking.
I feel like this should be "continuing to talk".
Countess Mantrae asked for your help find Sypha
"finding"
"You want me to lie?" you said.
"asked"
but you hadn't want him to think he'd gotten to you.
"wanted"
Which direction did it come from, when it was flying back to the camp.
This sentence should end in a question mark.
"But Kopoi, when did you get back."
This sentence should also end in a question mark.
[X] Hire Kelton as a permanent party member
[X] Hire both
I don't know whether I want to hire Belle or not, but I
do know I want to hire Kelton, so either of these work for me.
[X] Plan To The Hall
-[X] You need to go to the Marble Hall to get accredited. The fact that the Empire is apparently having problems means that you need to do this sooner rather than later, so you don't get caught up in anything. (Gain one extra Learning option)
-[X] Social Options: Who do you get to know better?
--[X] Sypha
--[X] Jenna (Only available if going to Marble Hall)
-[X] Learning Options (Can choose the same option multiple times to focus on it)
--[X] Continue learning Yellow magic
--[X] Continue along the Path of Awakening
--[X] Begin learning Runewrighting
-[X] Boons:
--[X] Your nature is warmly received by the Kingdoms.
--[X] A boon unique to your path forward appears.
-[X] Banes:
--[X] The North suffers a setback.
Reasoning:
Marble Hall: With open war likely to break out between the Kingdoms and the Empire, I doubt we'll get another chance to get accredited for a
very long time, whereas not stopping by Ryza's home only costs us some of the things we left there (which I believe we will have an easier time compensating for) and not going anywhere means we aren't getting anything done, which seems like a bad idea to me.
Social: We probably won't be seeing Sypha again for a while and Jenna is only available if we go to the Marble Hall, so they're my top priorities here.
Learning: First, allow me to preface this by reminding anyone who forgot or didn't read carefully enough that visiting the Marble Hall lets us take an extra Learning option, so this plan has three to work with. With that out of the way, Yellow Magic to improve our combat ability (I'm hoping we'll be able to get access to a more powerful attack and/or be able to cast Elthunder without Thunder's Cry soon), Path of Awakening because we do need to work on getting Dragon!Ryza on the same page as Heart!Ryza, and Runewrighting because I strongly suspect that will be critical to coming up with an alternative to Dragonstones for human magic use.
Boons: The warm reception is absolutely non-negotiable, we
need them to be at the very least not hostile towards us, preferably cooperative. As for the unique boon, this seems very promising when going to the Marble Hall and potentially promising if we go home, so I very much want this.
Banes: Most of these strike me as bad ideas, although I'm kind of curious what would happen if we took the unique bane in conjunction with the unique boon (assuming that's allowed). Regardless, I'm going with the North having trouble because that's the one with the least direct impact on us as far as I can tell.
Honorable Mentions: I strongly suspect the Dream and Nightmare are more than just mundane dreams, which is the main reason why I didn't pick the Nightmare Bane. Main reason I didn't take the Dream Boon is that I couldn't find another Bane that I was willing to take in exchange for it.
