It's a pity that we haven't managed to establish a more trusting relationship with the Dispatcher yet. Judging by his character, he was helping us with the Alicja problem and wouldn't give us away. His strength would be very useful for this confrontation.

Witherbrine26 What is the penalty for injuries we will receive in the next turn?
Can we bring several cult Combatants to our guard and hand over our weapons to them? Will it be worth the AP?
By the way, how did we justify our injuries in the hospital and did they pass this information to the PRT?

Narrative, things such as having a bit of a harder time getting around, being more grumpy etc
No, Combatants are willing to go on Expeditions but they are not willing to guard you
You got caught in the crossfire of two gangs fighting and were convincing enough they didn't question you. The only record of you is the hospital records but that just has your injures.
 
On the other hand, Alicja's attack on us is not so bad. If the dice stop cheating so much in her direction, she may well not leave this battle alive.

Toxin: Raises the DC to heal wounds. The DC depends on how good a poison you buy
Paralytic: Inflicts a debuff to combat rolls but wears off after combat. The debuff scales with how good a poison you buy
Venom: Once inflicted forces a check at the end of the turn, if the check is failed they take a wound. The DC depends on how good a poison you buy

Maybe you want to be more specific. Probably a paralytic or a venom for if she escapes.
 
Well, fun quest so far.

We've definitely suffered more wounds per chapter than most PCs I can think of. Maybe the Dynamic Alcoholism guy.

The only real question is, in the end will the scars protect us?

Maybe it's not worth exploring Mansus in our condition, it could be something that will kill us. Maybe instead we could help Ai to pay for her help?

You are right, but I want to explore Mansus. I know we have the foe and all, but there is this entire world just within reach and we only spent 2 AP there. Maybe there is some artifact that will help, or at least near guaranteed Lore scraps. Or some summon that can help us by dealing with her.

Then maybe it's better to explore the well?
There is knowledge of the grail and the moth that we need as a future director. In addition, there is no mention in the canon of what is in the well, there are not even hints that you can go down there, which means that we will learn something really new.

Especially considering that if the roll is high, we will get Lore based poison.

And with that reminder, we're back to searching for Poisons in general. Because I want to see what Lore Poisons can do!

As for exploring the Mansus on 1 Wound? Absolutely not. The oldest and most common currency of the Mansus is blood, and we are in no condition to pay.
 
[X] Plan She Will Follow Up V2

We should really befriend Anatoly as soon as we have a spare moment. Getting him up to friend will hopefully alleviate some of his issues and but is to time to get the others more on board.
