@yrsillar How much time do we have left? The story says we are on our second hour but I don't know when we need to reach the flower. Do we know how much time we have?
 
@yrsillar, could you explain why this dice pool has no autosuccesses included?
Wits+Composure+FVM. 9 dice
1 7 2 8 7 8 9 6 6. 5 successes

Either it's opposed, in which case we're at +1 autosuccesses due to relative cultivation, or it's unopposed, in which case we're at +5 autosuccesses since we obviously have an applicable art. Yet we appear to be working off our dice pool alone. Is this just an oversight, or have I misunderstood something, or what?

Why? We have Dex 5, Athletics 4 and +1 autosuccess from being Mid Silver to her Early. Plus her mother is most likely not going to be happy about this since the glade is outside of her territory and attracts lots of hungry spirit beasts that could attack Hanyi.


Yup :D

That's not considering how sneaky the child is and the fact that we're in her home terrain. She could be even better than us for all we know, so it's a risky proposition.

Then there is the fact that I doubt she's going to get all that hurt by the spirit beasts if we're there. We have FVM, we can distract monsters that are too strong for her and run away with her.

Its a matter of preference. The kid is likely about as strong as us, anything she can't handle we can't handle.

EDIT: You're also assuming she's Early Silver. We don't know that. Our art shows us she's 2nd realm, not her progress. Just because she's a kid doesn't mean she's Early Silver.

Your spiritual is only 4, so no auto there

We know she's Early Silver (and apparently Early Yellow too from yrs's post) due to the First Clash.

There's the reaction of Mommy(who DEFINITELY outclasses us) for taking her child out of her safe territory.
 
Meanwhile, on Hanyi Quest, they're trying to decide whether they should keep the first cultivator they come across (nice eyes and wind aligned), or see whether Mom objects first. So they've settled for a test to see how compatible they are personality wise.
:p
 
[] Accept, surely it couldn't be that hard to catch her a couple of times, and resolve this without trouble

Edit: Changed vote:

[X] Offer to show her something interesting if she'll let you go. Play a few songs for her.
-[X] If she doesn't like the songs, agree to play tag.

Yeah let's not show her the glade with the flower that attracts hostile spirit beast... that will piss mommy off.

We should play with her and leave a good impression , feeding her might just make her follow us afterwards anyway and lead to issues...

At least playing with her might give her a good impression as the fun older sister and she might ask her mommy to help should we get ambushed or attacked by other hostile spirit beast.

Also I'm guessing she's pretty rare since she can take human form

Yeah, we've got a good statblock for this, I think we can probably win in good time, and playing nice with the local spirits is rarely a bad idea.

Sad though that the great rolls were both missed though :( Unless there's more events ahead.

Yep, play tag with the kiddo. No brainer.
There are many advantages to making friends with a spirit here, and even if we lose out on the mission this time I think it would be worth it for the connections we make.
Nice to have a little pocket ace if things get hairy.
Only way it could be better is if they were fire spirits and could help us with Lil turtle, but ill take this.
 
Ascending cliffs=Strength

We'll be doing this while penalized by her storm+ice slicks. CG helps with horizontal movement, but if she goes up, and this is a vertical area, we can't use it. I would not gamble on the assumption that this would be a dex contest.

[X] Try to bribe the child spirit with food
 
Could we maybe use our flute to show her an illusion of things that'd never be found on the mountain?

Stuff like palm trees and frolicking dolphins.
