I'm wondering if we could use our Ring to have the temple alter itself to admit the armament. The temple is a construct of another Ring, after all... One designed not to impede the entrance of another ringbearer.

We'll suffer severe damage from strenuous exertion for the next three days, which makes life really really hard in that timespan.

If Hunger hadn't used his social attack, he never would have stunned Amarlt for the other R-type to smash him! And he wouldn't have gotten so perfect a chance to set up a Ring block!
Hm...
You do have the Evening Sky, which protects somewhat against most poisons. But yeah, it'll be a significant weakness.
Is it?
Indeed. Plus, Hunger's just not really that talkative of a guy. Maybe if Vanreir had brought up fishing, the two of them could have left the battlefield in peace...
A 92, actually.
Using the Accursed is cheat.
The Library is capable of many things. The main question is whether it will fully counter the debility or merely reduce its severity.
You could always take Unerring Inheritor! The Stats are quite good and the ability is okay. It's basically Dexterity Essence Triumphant with a few utility / esoteric effects.
I'm of the opinion that IF we want to choose that, the best thing we can do is to fix Hunger's arm at this time. At least that way, the number of permanent crippling wound's stays the same.
Not sure that is the best plan though. Needs more thought.

It's the pick that works best when picked early. As we now know every single defining advancement has drawbacks, and this is the least

I'm not sold on plans that will require multiple contentious steps into the future to all work in concert (vote to stop Templing, vote to heal instead of buff or hunt, vote to grind outside for the remaining time)
So much brainstorming, two Arete spent to even unlock dialogue, and turning him totally failed. The acknowledgement was nice, but in terms of value it was... not worth it. Now his sister's alone in the world and we have a devastating complication. I'm glad we're not dead, but wow. In hindsight we should have just gone for the Close or peaced out.

If we're willing to work in lockstep we can do it. We can't keep crippling ourselves out of fear the next vote will go stupidly.

This isn't worth going Nuclear over but since the power of the Library is likely to be able to at least mitigate our poison weakness from True Maiming and the Evening sky helps us against poisons...

Remember to save for The Ring, people. So I'd either pick the three Fierce+Dominion: War or a 4-pick. Since Kinslaying already has a vote; I will support long term options with:
[X] Fierce Quickening
[X] Fierce QuickeningX2
[X] Fierce QuickeningX3
[X] The Ring of Power - Dominion - War
Also, of all the Soul Evocations we can enslave to our will, can we get someone more meaningful than "random archer"? It's so out of left field; not feeling it at all.

We can just rest, y'know? It's not significantly worse to our capabilities than Exhaustion and healing Verschlengorge would do a lot to make our party much safer.
If we're moronic enough to go back into the Temple after this just happened, we deserve to die.

Turns out, he was just too weak to be worth converting!
Sure, sounds relatively safe in case something comes down on us, while getting ready to continue scaling.

It's a random archer whose soul evocation matches our abilities perfectly and we get TSH applied to it.
It's not always the most impressive opponents that drop the best things.
Strange that we have three Evocations available. Did they execute the Goldenrod Bowman for his failure or something? He was maimed and it doesn't seem like the outriders have easy access to healing.

This leaves us slightly weaker than before, but with .2 higher effective rank, this means we'll be able to more effectively select targets/avoid hostiles. Meanwhile Gisena took El Stats and now is an effective force on the battlefield in addition to her debuffing, making up for our weakness, letting us get some more picks under our belt.

But space-time powers with To Shatter Heaven, so anything they can't do we can probably make them do!
Librarian is also really cool powerwise, but has the worst passenger attached to it. Unerring has the best passenger but is a poor power - it's only half of the killer combo and I don't see many methods of expanding it via TSH the way I do Correspondent.
I feel we should pick a 4-pick option, that's the main benefit of this clusterfuck of a fight. Upgrades with lower picks can be bought later almost at any time, but I doubt we're going to voluntarily seek another battle of this magnitude for a while.
An added advantage is they are free. We really cannot afford to spend even more Arete at the moment.

I'm not sure we'll ever see Inheritor again, at least not any time soon.
We have to go back in, Hunger won't accept otherwise. I assume there's some leeway about how soon it needs to be though.

Having a major weakness to poison and disease is just begging to be exploited, especially considering Apocryphal. No thanks.

Maiming isn't a trap option, per say, but there's a pretty giant glaring weakspot to it.
Looking forward to the next Aprocryphal backed supernatural plague beast or whatever if we pick it, a 400% multiplier is something we'd have to weight our whole build to patch up

Tentatively voting this, probably will flip with a convincing enough argument. This fight...was freaking amazing, but the sheer risk of it was not worth it. This was the result of a 92. We really, really should have withdrawn, but ultimately, we won, and i suposse that's what matters most.
I usually would be against taking Uttermost, but frankly, we need the power. We need some game-changer after this fihght, especially if people want to stay in the temple. If they want to try leaving, i would pick something like fierce quickening*3+Vigor, but otherwise, we need the power, even if this means being a tyrant forever more.
On Truea Maiming, again, mostly because i think people will want to remain in the temple. It sucks, can't be healed for a long, long time, but it's the option that allows us to survive inside the temple.
If we want to stay, we will need to choose the least bad options in the short-term. And at this point, i don't think Hunger would be willing to leave.

Hm... I think people are sleeping on how absurd Uttermost is. It multiplies the effective speed and power of all your sword attacks by 7, for free! There's a huge difference between Thousand Cuts as an expensive attack with wind-up and a spammable attack that's as easy as cutting your enemy! Plus, it narratively fits as Hunger's reward for this fight!
Interesting symmetry...
The social component was a significant reason for Hunger's victory. It could certainly have been crucial, especially if Hunger rolled less well.
Opalescence is still pretty meh though. You'd probably be better off with Vigor Itself.
Indeed. He probably won't venture in while Exhausted, etc.

Uttermost prevents ever mitigating Tyrant. No.
