Forge of Destiny(Xianxia Quest)

Oh well, switching SuMa for Xiulan doesn't seem to have helped at all. Might as well switch back to what I actually prefer.
 
Question! Why are we taking a job instead of the Xiulan minor? And no I don't consider inviting her being the same. We already hunt/train with her on a weekly basis, and the point of her minor is to relax and have fun, with less focus on training and growing.

Actually, that's a good point. We're getting sucked back into the 'needed' stuff instead of just taking moments to relax and chill.
 
Huh, looking back I had just kinda assumed that you guys had gotten it and I forgot, but that doesn't seem to be the case... which means FZ or something needs to be uneqipped, bluurgh.

No, we had opening a heart meridian at the vent in our week 35 plan. Proof:
--[X] Train at the vent with Su Ling
---[X] Heart Meridian

However, you never actually rolled for the heart meridian this week. Easy to do with such a long update split over three parts, of course. We just want it rolled to see if we get the meridian, and if we do, how much overflow goes to physical.

Going by the original plan, we should've rolled for the Heart meridian back with SuSu training at the vent, with FZ coming later with GF exploration:
--[X] Train at the vent with Su Ling
---[X] Heart Meridian
---[X] Work on formations with Li Suyin, working on a project with your friend will be fun
--- [X] Give the pen (from Renshu's base) to Suyin if we haven't already
--[X] Explore and Train with Golden Fields
---[X] FZ

If we still failed the Heart, we could've plausibly unequipped AC since we didn't use PC on the opening shot and the multi-attack penalties were reduced anyway.

The two actions aren't in competition? Doing a job is a major action. Girls' night out with Xiulan is a minor action.
 
Since I haven't been able to follow discussion too closely for the past couple weeks, are we sure that we don't need a physical cultivation action to get to Peak Physical next week?

A regular physical cultivation action gives about 51 successes. We are using Highsun, which should give about that much, which is enough to bring it from 130 to 180. If that's not enough then we have TRF.. TRF average roll is about 33, and we only need 26, so overflow should do it. If that's not enough then there's also meridian overflow from the Arm meridian, which we might or might not get.

Overall, we have a reasonable amount of certainty.

Speaking of high sun pills. We used one this past week right? Did we get that free physical roll this week?

Edit: nvm found it.
