Welp, time to use those sick days.
A careful recovery period seems wise, perhaps we can take some sort of protective measure to ensure we don't get jumped this turn.

[X] Plan: Heal and Protect
-[X] On work and the challenges it entails.
--[X] You've got sick days, use them (Gain two extra actions, will be noticed by your direct superior, although the full extent is unknown. Your work is less likely to notice your wounds)
-[X] You are injured (You currently have three wounds. You'll make a roll at +5 against a DC of 70. You must select one of the below)
--[X] Sit down, take time to care for yourself (Costs two actions, roll three recovery dice 0/-15/-30)
---[X] A stay at home nurse, to tend to your wounds and the more unpleasant tasks they require (Costs 90 Funds, three recovery dice will automatically succeed)
-[X] On your Foe, and the danger she wields
--[X] Keep an eye open and stay on guard (This will make it harder for Alicja to assault, spy on you, etc)
-[X] On furthering the cause.
--[X] Train the fodder, get them up to snuff
--[X] Assist somebody else in their task
---[X] Ai, the Spymaster
-[X] On learning the Lores.
--[X] The cult's library has a few texts, go read up on them
---[X] The manuscript on Heart (You will gain 1 scrap of Heart)
-[X] On Rites, Rituals and the things inbetween
--[X] You'll cast The Attention of the Laws (Edge)
Ok, this seems like a decent enough plan, it pays our debt, works on training, but most importantly gets us healed and prepared for any assault she may pull. Although I'm somewhat unsure if that SH learning action is good, if anyone has a better idea please suggest.

Heart relates to our ability to resist and recover from injury, We could really do with more Heart. We've got a book and a manuscript to read, and the Master won't teach it. I'd say it's worth focusing on for survivability's sake.

Fair enough I'll change it, but aren't they both from the same source (the book we gave Arch) and thus can only be used once?
[X] Plan: Guard and Research
-[X] You are injured (You currently have three wounds. You'll make a roll at +5 against a DC of 70. You must select one of the below)
--[X] Take a break here and there (Costs one action, roll two recovery dice. 0/-15)
---[X] A touch here and there of something a bit stronger (Costs 60 Funds, two recovery dice will automatically succeed)
-[X] On work and the challenges it entails.
--[X] You've got sick days, use them (Gain two extra actions, will be noticed by your direct superior, although the full extent is unknown. Your work is less likely to notice your wounds)
-[X] On your Foe, and the danger she wields
--[X] Keep an eye open and stay on guard (This will make it harder for Alicja to assault, spy on you, etc)
--[X] Do something about her, talk to her, trick her, hurt her (Fortify our home)
-[X] On furthering the cause.
--[X] Train the fodder, get them up to snuff
-[X] On Rites, Rituals and the things inbetween
--[X] You'll cast The Attention of the Laws (Grail)
-[X] The Mansus, a place of contradictions. It calls to you, reach out.
--[X] Explore the Woods and it's many secrets
-[X] On matters outside the cult.
--[X] Spend time with somebody
---[X] Who? (Arch)
We know she planned to assault us, so we stay on guard and fortify our home. We spend time with Arch given Master shared with him a ritual (that's what Grail is for) and ask him to help us with research. And we finally explore some more of the Mansus.
For those that feel we are wasting action on guard, here is an alternative that will have us train Combatants. Hopefully the DC will be lower given the lesson we are trying to impart.

Nah, I'm pretty sure he already had one manuscript before we tried to hand over the books we'd found. If we gave him the book (I don't remember) he may not have gotten around to studying/transcribing it.

Why only healing 2 isntead of 3?
So we have five actions. Healing one wound doesn't require an action.
- Pronouns
- He
We'd be at 3/4 health, kinda risky if she attacks no?
In order to have another Action, is my guess
Also a reminder to everyone that we don't need more Endbringer Research right now we already uncovered a weakness. We have enough to mollify the Master, we should focus on building up allies, defenses, and power due to our current life or death feud.
Also I'm still worried about Anatoly.
She will likely attack this turn, so we will have 1/4 health since we heal at the end of the turn. If she attacks next turn, we will have more options on how to deal with that.

Dunno, we just lost 3 health this time, and even if we don't roll so horribly a 1 health difference might be what allows us to push through and beat her.
I forgot about that. I will exchange it for training the fodder.
True.

Honestly, I just want one turn where we can do the Mansus expedition and maybe work on getting to the Blank Door (or whatever might be there instead).

Alright, I think I have a solid plan here. To be blunt, our foe would have to be a blithering idiot to not try and kill us as we are this turn. So we should try and make that as hard as possible. We are stupidly vulnerable. I'm even tempted to drop time with Arch in favor of more defense prep.
@Witherbrine26 , can we hire additional protection like Alicjia hired additional offense?

Then why heal only 2?
Yes you can
Because healing only takes effect at the end of the turn, after Alicjia tries to kill us this turn. If she's not stupid, we're facing her at 1 Wound no matter what.
Excellent, what Action would that fall under?
I've added it to the update under Matters outside the cult, the vote itself is -[] Hire some muscle (Will cost a variable amount of funds)
