Hmmph... this junior is a good seed [Cultivation Management Quest]

[occipitallobe]

Good Seed and Omake Spreadsheet Rules:

Firstly, if you have questions about Good Seeds and the like please read here. If that doesn't answer your question please ping me in thread, or on Discord.

If you write a new Good Seed, or write an omake, please update the spreadsheet if you have access.

If you do not have access, please ping a collaborator (Swordomatic, Alectai, Quest, TehChron, Insane-Not-Crazy, Humbaba, ReaderOfFate, Kaboomatic, no., BungieONI) letting them know what you want and they will update the spreadsheet here. To gain access, you will need a gmail account of some kind. Throwaway emails are fine (I'm using one for the spreadsheet), but to gain access it's as simple as sending me either your email via PM, via DM in Discord, or just in Discord's #spreadsheet-requests channel.

This is mandatory. If a Good Seed does not record their omake by pinging collabs (or just requesting access and editing things themselves - this is the preferred option), I won't give out awards. If a new Good Seed is not recorded here, they won't advance. By doing this it makes the whole thing manageable for me - it's gotten pretty unwieldy!

-----------------------

Omake Writer Instructions:

There are four fields you need to fill out.

Omake Link, which is just a link to your first omake for the turn. This makes it easier for me to read them as I do the update - without this it's tough to know off the bat which omake were written this turn, and to properly

Requested Bonus, which is your requested bonus for your omake. You can leave it up to me if you like. You can see more info in the Good Seed infopost here.

Cultivation Aims. For those following unorthodox paths - higher than 9th Heavenstage or later than 7th Dao Pillar paths. Please put in what you are aiming for before you break through. I have left it as 'default'. If you do not edit it, I'll go with that.

Turn Notes - Do you want to do something specific? Enter a Secret Realm? Help the Clan out in some way? If you have something specific you want to accomplish on this turn, put it in turn notes so I can adjust your Fate around it.

All other fields are for QM use to record character information to properly run the flow of the game.

 

[occipitallobe]

@occipitallobe for the Omake Google sheet, are you going to add another tab for Turn 5 stuff ? Or should we wait till your done with Turn 4 tab before putting up Turn 5 stuff in the same tab ?

Click to shrink...

I will. My current plan is to complete the Turn 4 spreadsheet as I do the report, add things in I'm likely to forgot, and transplant it into the Turn 5 spreadsheet once I finalise the Good Seed stuff. So don't worry about it just yet - I'll put up a new threadmark for the Turn 5 spreadsheet.

Just as a heads-up, I'm currently working on organizing the miscellaneous omake under Eirene of Nowhere. I've gotten a few done in the last while, and I think I'll be fully done in 10-15 minutes? Something like that.

(BTW, I see that the omake for Keiros Cole Emendator that has a cameo with Eirene in it was listed under that subheading. Should I leave that one as it is?)

Usually things just go under a subheading because that was the omake prior to them in the thread. Essentially, the only thing for organising is 'who's name is at the front of the omake prior to the title'.

Acis Drivas - Dead. Sent south to guard supply caravans in a safe zone of the war while crippled. Weak, and unable to advance his cultivation, he was ambushed by a Devil Bee raider and killed.

Ambrus Nike -
Fate - Ordinary. Sent south to the war, but mainly guarding caravans. Slew a few bandits beneath his level.
Cultivation - 9th Heavenstage. [2 turns from breaking through]
Health - Currently healthy.

Aretaphila Myia -
Omake Reward - Lifesaving Treasure. Found an Magical Calligraphy Slip, written on it 'All Are Friends Under Heaven'. By infusing her Qi into it she can force all enemies in the area (as well as herself) to cease violence briefly.
Fate - Ordinary. Cultivated well, was employed in keeping the Scorpion Road safe. No notable encounters, excepting an encounter with a peculiar old man who wrote her a slip and tore it off, giving it to her.
Cultivation - 10th Heavenstage. [3 turns from 11th]
Health - Currently healthy.

Constans Herculius -
Omake Reward - Lifesaving Treasure. Forged a magical Bronze Effigy.

Cultivation - Below par. Only reached 3rd Heavenstage
Health - Currently healthy.

Daedalus Khimaira
Omake Reward - Lifesaving Treasure. After the below Fate, managed to purchase a Burning Sun Chariot, a tiny treasure that can activated once, allowing him to flee any danger. Not usable for those without his sun bloodline, it was gained cheaply.
Fate - Capable - managed to save a small town as the sun rose from a far northern Devil Bee raid, using his powers to hold them off for a few hours until a nearby Clan patrol rescued them. Given the extreme danger to his own life, gained considerable Contribution Points.
Cultivation - A truly solid talent. Reached 6th Heavenstage.
Health - Currently healthy.

Damien Silver
Fate - Challenged an enemy to a duel, losing badly. Badly wounded, stuck at 8th Heavenstage.
Cultivation - 8th Heavenstage.
Health - Badly wounded [40 years recovery]

Diogenes Aparámillos

Cultivation - 2nd Heavenstage
Health - Currently healthy.

Hektor Sarantapechos
Omake Reward - Lifesaving Treasure. During the war placed in command again, and given a Vial of Sand Cat Speed as a temporary measure. After the below, was given it permanently.
Fate - Remained in command after his previous poor showing, in part due to his family name. After the disaster in the south was the highest-ranking cultivator in the defense of Little Jian, one of the two smaller cities that survived the Devil Bee attack. As such, he was in command. Six times the Devil Bees attacked, and six times he repulsed them. Unwounded and undaunted by this, it was on the seventh attack that came that he was truly worried. In a heroic effort, he slew three Early Foundation Building Devil Bees, gaining an Insight into the Impenetrable Shield. Able to defend others more effectively, and block attacks from any direction with ease, his shield skills stand in the Mid Foundation Building level, even if his personal strength does not.
Cultivation - Early Foundation Building (2nd pillar)
Health - Currently healthy.

Ilias Barallis -
Fate - A brave spy, sent into the lands of the Devil Bees to try and espy their troop movements. An act of great sacrifice, as it turned out. He was caught as he retreated with information, his left and right arms torn off completely. Crippled beyond measure, he managed to reach the Night Devil Fortress days before it was attacked, enabling the heroic defense early in the war.
Cultivation - 5th Heavenstage. Unable to advance while crippled.
Health - Currently crippled. Honestly I'm not trying to be cruel to poor Ilias! He's just immensely unlucky!

Juturna Cerintha
Fate - Trained in the legions well, fighting with her broom in unison with others. Following her Dao of Peace, served as liaison to diplomats to various minor powers in Clan territory.
Cultivation - Reached 6th Heavenstage.
Health - Currently healthy.

Lihua Kokkinos

Cultivation - Reached 9th Heavenstage. [4 turns from breaking through]
Health - Currently healthy.

Lin Fan
Omake Reward - Lifesaving Treasure - A single piece of Congealed Blood Stone, capable of being smashed and filling the air with a confusing Blood Mist.
Fate - Sent south in the war. Like many others, wounded after the great disaster. Ended up in recovery for the remainder of his time these two decades.
Cultivation - Remains at 8th Heavenstage
Health - Currently healthy.

Magnus Centenius
Omake Reward - Cultivation Treasure (-4 turns to breaking through) - A Three-Pronged Lightning Rod, capable of attracting and storing some of Heaven's wrath, allowing a tribulation to be lengthened but reduced in intensity.
Fate - Somehow became the Wine Quartermaster for the Night Devil Fortress, shamelessly using the resources his position to concoct new poisons. As Wall 2 fell in the initial siege, he managed to refine his Bloody Death Bacteria Smoke Bomb to work on Devil Bees, eating away at their wings. Thousands of them were thrown into the air, forcing many Devil Bees to the ground - their comrades turning on them. Rewarded with the above treasure for his work.
Cultivation - 10th Heavenstage [3 turns from breaking through]
Health - Currently healthy.

Minervina Barda
Omake Reward - Cultivation Boost
Fate - In her defense of the Night Devil Fortress, managed something special. Ground up many bee organs, and created the Bee-Weakening Hive Killing Powder, a powder that when scattered on a Devil Bee corrupted its Qi, and even spread the effect to another 10 or 15 bees. Before the Devil Bees realised what was happening, Minervina had slain nearly a thousand of them in Qi Condensation. This was an immense boon to the Clan, and her Bee-Weakening Hive Killing Powder has now been listed as a Clan Recipe, to be used in great supplies in the east. Her contributions were massive, and she gained enough points and resources to build a second Dao Pillar.
Cultivation - Early Foundation Building [2nd Pillar]
Health - Currently healthy.

Mograine -
Omake Reward - As per omake.
Fate - Managed to advance to the 9th Heavenstage, following his Dao. One encounter of note - talked to a great Betrayal Scorpion who endowed him with a fragment of enlightenment of its Dao, and then attacked him, leaving him for dead. He managed to struggle out of the desert, and used this encounter to advance well.

Click to shrink...

Not really. Goals is more for stuff that you like your Good Seed to aim for. If you have nothing, @occipitallobe will come up with something after doing the rolls. Goals are just a way to kinda narrow down on what happens to the Good Seed.

Incidentally, @occipitallobe can i ask if the following goal is possible:

Goal: Seeking out a Blacksmith/Craftsman to forge the Axe-Fragment of Hell-Sender and the Wood Fairy Lance into an Artifact Ji.

What i hope to do with this is that with low rolls, no such craftsman can be found and XIao Yi retains the FAR effect of the fragment + the ATTK boost from the lance. With Good fate rolls, he still gets the 1 time use from the fragment but the Attk boost from the lance is further upgraded so that it's like the Cauldron Rina got or other items that allow the wielder to fight above their realm.

So that if it succeeds, it can help in the Trials. Hopefully, since the raw mats already have effects, the rolls requriments for good stuff to happen are lower

Goals are also good for telling the QM what realm in cultivation the good seed is aiming for. There's been some confusion before on what the omake writer wants the good seed to aim for.

Click to shrink...

Actually writing it isn't that hard. Practice typing without looking at the keyboard (there is a website for that). Get good enough that you don't pause. Then just write a lot of words. Cut down on the words. Write more words. Clean up grammar and punctuation. Clean up the flow, done. Use a dictionary and thesaurus when needed. Mostly time consuming though.

Writing is mostly time consuming without practice, experience in socializing, lack of ability to entertain, and ignorance of word definitions. Here's an example of professional writing by Terry Pratchett, just to show how simple writing in english is, when done by a professional "And only now did he have time to take in the room. He had never seen a tavern before in his life, but that is what it was. The bar ran along one side of the room. Behind it were the typical trappings of an Ephebian bar - the stacks of wine jars, racks of amphora, and the cheery pictures of vestial virgins on cards of salted peanuts and goat jerky, pinned up in the hope that there really were people in the world who would slatheringly buy more and more packets of nuts they didn't want to look at a card board nipple." - from "Small Gods, p 155-p. 156".

Some wounds, poisons, etc, might leave you in horrible pain and recovery for months, or even an entire year.

On a cultivation timeframe these are not a big deal and don't impede Good Seed development in any way.

She's not being objective here.

I'm more poking fun at the unlimited efficiency of information gathering in a Xianxia setting, where some chucklefuck just needs to say "INVESTIGATE THEIR BACKGROUND!" and within minutes will know exactly who the protagonist is, and have a detailed dossier of their associations, strengths, and other abilities.

Sometimes it's more realistic and it takes 'Hours' to pull out all of the information from a nation a hundred thousand miles away that they had no relations with, but the point is that 'INVESTIGATE THEIR BACKGROUND' is pretty much a magic spell and I was poking fun at how "Why is is that when we screamed 'Investigate their background!' we didn't learn of the super formation that apparently let them sweep the Verdant South?"
