RATIONALE
School goes without saying. It keeps her in contact with her friends.
Work-Life balance.

Kakuri because we already committed to a meeting in the first week of October with the akuma, and we keep our word.
Also, the longer they are here, the more people they are likely to murder. Or get up to further mischief.
The earlier we deal with that, the better.

Training Spirit because it helps with Nightmares and WP regen, and we locked it in as a mandatory action last turn.

Cauldron Bubble: Insight because we took responsibility for them, and should probably help.
Also, with both a Kakuri delegation and a skinwalker in town, we should probably spend some more time around them just in case, to build up their defenses and safety.


Green and White because with both Isabella Sylgi and the ex-Malvora Whamps as our responsibilities, our likelihood to recruit more reneade Whamps, Agent Greene as a contact, and Madrigal Raith out there putting hits on people, doing some scouting of the top levels of the White Court is mandatory, and Lara is the eldest living child of the White King that we know of.

And because with a Jade Court/Kakuri presence in the city, and a skinwalker doing God knows what, we want to cover our flanks with the other local supernatural powers first. If nothing else, the White Court likely is quite averse to either a skinwalker or an agent of Kakuri setting up shop here. They wont like the competition.

Relax because we havent spent dedicated time with our family in the last couple months
And with both Michael and Charity raising the issue of burnout as a very real risk, it is good to appear to take their comcerns to heart. Also, Halloween is a very good time to keep an eye on your siblings in Dresdenverse Chicago.


===
MISC
We dont need extra cash this month, so we can pass on Finance options for a turn.

We have Rosie at Oneiromancy 1; we can afford to take a break from settling her problems for a month, and get back to it in November. Her due date is in January, so we still have time.

The Last Station can afford to have us skip a month now.
Since we get a double action next turn, we can double AP on it to make up next turn.

I REALLY wanted to meet Mortimer Lindquist this month, but I cant make it work inside our budget.
Not with Kakuri akuma in town.

I do wonder what Harry is going to do with his extra hours?

Click to shrink...
Maintaining his gear probab'y.
Possibly building new stuff. Maybe even a training montage where he brushes up on some old skills, attempts to acquire new ones or to expand his base of knowledge. Even if its just self-study.

Its not like he has a shortage of things to do; there's a war on, he's the local Warden, and there are two new literally immortal semi-divine heavy hitters who play for the destro factions parked on his doorstep, and his only reliable backup at that tier of threat are Michael + Amoracchius and a girl he knew when she was 12 years old and climbing trees.

Besides, consider his position; having a teenager who has only had lessons for around two months or so essentially crack Alchemy 2 as a parttime endeavor, while going to school, co-authoring a book, training in magic kungfu and raising the funds to run an underground commune?

Is the kind of thing that makes people feel inadequate, and makes them push themselves.

Between all the extra time he'll have and the cash we pretty much forced on him, Harry might take the opportunity to upgrade some of his equipment. That would be sensible, considering the supernatural shit that regularly goes down in Chicago.

Tech 2 is by GM enough. Also wiring and electrical is the last point of the rebuilding.

Also it might happen that someone with a bit of experience or education in a relivent subject will join our group. People end up in undertown for all sorts of reasons. A construction worker with a drug problem would actually be really useful to us at the moment.

What was the logic for not going alchemy 4 Equipment? Does it have training time?

I would kind of assume that we need to get Alchemy 3 before we get 4. But also we are really booked up by standing commitments. We are not really doing much self improvement at all this time mostly just focusing on dealing with issues.

1)We are currently pressed for AP this turn.
The Akuma. The Skinwalker. Mab.
Time sensitive options.

Note that we are leaving Dragons Speed half-done, haven't started on Summoning or Enchantment, and have to postpone the Dragons Nest for a turn.

2)Using Dresdens facilities is one excuse for Molly to show up at Dresdens place at odd hours.

3)If you get the lab, you still need the skill to use it.
And Alchemy 4 is 11XP, even with the discount.
However if you get Alchemy 4, you can use Dresdens facilities until you get the lab.

Buy the skill first, then transport the lab.

4) Don't transport the Lab until we finish Dragons Nest 1, which makes the area defensible. Or you risk it getting trashed.

The Sorcerer cooking meth on our border has at least 30 people and a clear need for equipment.
Not to mention the Skinwalker could just grief us.
