Well, this one:
[][Attribute] Empathy
Because I'd like to shore up that specific weakness a touch.

And these actions interesting me:

- [] The Immortal Kitchens often have requests which they look for aspiring hunters and sect members to complete. You will go and examine their job board.
[] The guards have a shooting range for Archery, work to develop your skills in preparation for future hunts.
[] Vijaya Paranthapa has returned from her expedition with two sect tokens in hand and her entry to the sect granted. She can be seen relaxing around the town centre with a hatchling from her expedition on her shoulder.
[] Liu Zhiquiang has returned from his cultivation with a complete talisman. Ask him to accompany you into the wilds to compare your experiences at the sect.
[] Medhi has been working at the Dragon's Wing for the past two weeks, he has been given a task by the owner which could lead to his sigil. Go and see if he needs help.
[] Wu Chanying has returned to the sect after her trip with some unusual goods that she wishes a second opinion on. Join her and offer your thoughts.
 
[][Attribute] Agility

Agility boosts our initiative and gets all of our phys stats ready for a stat up with the next upgrade.

Upgrading empathy gets our spiritual and phys defense ready for an upgrade with the next point, but adds nothing immediately.

Strength boosts our health a bit, but has no other immediate effects.

Insight boosts our qi and initiative but doesn't move our prowess up yet.

Will boosts our qi and health pool, but doesn't move our spirit defense up yet.

I prefer agility since it moves us closer to a big phys stats up, but empathy is prob the best move in terms of setting the stage for more stat ups overall. Insight and will are just boosting reserves.

[] Plan Moving to the rhythm with friends
-[] Introductory classes are closed, but the pavilion is still open for those who wish to use it. Explore the art of cycling Qi, and growing your spiritual capabilities.
--[] The silent rhythm
-[] Liu Zhiquiang has returned from his cultivation with a complete talisman. Ask him to accompany you into the wilds to compare your experiences at the sect.
-[] Medhi has been working at the Dragon's Wing for the past two weeks, he has been given a task by the owner which could lead to his sigil. Go and see if he needs help.

I'd like to try and help medhi pass since he seems to be having issues with it since he has been trying to do that task for a while. Practice the rhythm and chill with liu zhiquiang.

Honestly if we've passed the test I'm on board to just go full social this turn.

I'm down to up Empathy by at least 1, I doubt it'd detract much if at all from Himbo Lind.
 
[][Attribute] Empathy
I agree that this would fit on a practical level of shoring up a weakness, and it fits given his recent experiences. Lind can still be a himbo and have a high Empathy.

While this is true, adding one dice to Empathy boosts it more comparatively than adding it to our other stats since they're all higher than one. Also, I feel like once we're in the sect we're gonna get more social challenges thrown at us.

[X][Attribute] Empathy

I want to do three socials this week; Medhi's a lock for me cos I want to help him pass, but I dunno who to drop between Vijaya, Chanying and Zhiquiang.

Edit: looks like this is popular
[X] Plan: Social Time!

I think Empathy would be good this round. I'm also thinking 3 socials. Next week will likely be Sect heavy actions, so it'd be nice to have this short break.

The dragonwaifu and merchantwaifu have my seals of approval!

Also, Insight or Agi's looks like they're good picks. Not really a fan of spreading ourselves on things that ar our forte- but that's just the Minmax goblin in me.

So..

Cos leaving it at 1 will make me irrationally annoyed. I'm probably fine with leaving it at 2. Or at least, more interested in raising Agility and Insight more.

(Yes, apparently Lind thinks working with someone counts as socialising. *Sigh*)

Third Roll: Spiritual Prowess 3 + Qi 0 (Cycling 3) +2 Mudpots -2 Repeated Action Malus = 6 Dice!
3 3 10 6 7 4 = 3 Successes!
3 10 1 2 1 7 = 3 Successes!
6 3 10 9 10 6 = 5 Successes!
1 10 8 7 6 7 = 5 Successes!

55/60 Successes!

Fourth Roll:

10 4 9 3 = 2 Successes!
4 2 1 9 = 1 Success!
1 6 3 9 = 1 Success!
1 8 8 6 = 2 Successes!

55/60, Late Consecration Almost Complete! +1 Cycling! +1 Fire Affinity!
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
For the third roll, I think it's a total of 16 successes so we should be at 56/60.

Also, do we keep the 4th rolls successes for the next time we cultivate, or did they go into getting us the +1 cycling and fire affinity?
 
I suspect they got capped and we got the skill up instead. We should have been at 65/60 (after recounting the rolls). But the Sect doesn't want anyone going past 55/60 until further instruction is provided. Hence interrupt.

On the other hand, I expect there will be a mandatory class at some point where we will automatically complete Consecration.
 
[X][Attribute] Empathy

[X] Plan: Building our foundations
-[X] Jin Jiayi is no longer offering lessons, but perhaps you could find someone to spar with in the training grounds. (Random Encounters, Train in the Valiant Champion Style)
-[X] Wu Chanying has returned to the sect after her trip with some unusual goods that she wishes a second opinion on. Join her and offer your thoughts.
-[X] Medhi has been working at the Dragon's Wing for the past two weeks, he has been given a task by the owner which could lead to his sigil. Go and see if he needs help.

Socials for merchant lass, and desert lad. Sparring for the final action in the hope that we can get our combat style up to lvl 5, which will make us competent in both close combat and ranged combat.
 
[X][Attribute] Empathy
[X] Plan: Hunter buds?
-[X] Vijaya Paranthapa has returned from her expedition with two sect tokens in hand and her entry to the sect granted. She can be seen relaxing around the town centre with a hatchling from her expedition on her shoulder.
-[X] Medhi has been working at the Dragon's Wing for the past two weeks, he has been given a task by the owner which could lead to his sigil. Go and see if he needs help.
-[X] Liu Zhiquiang has returned from his cultivation with a complete talisman. Ask him to accompany you into the wilds to compare your experiences at the sect.

We havent really interacted with our fellow hunter.
