I trust the Captain to not screw us over in this current situation and while getting influence via compromise would be good I don't think Lilly has any real place in setting the pace of this elite operation.
[X] [FM] Tell Yolun that we forgive him and he will always be in our heart
Thank @sheep-dodger for this write-in because it's perfect to me after rereading the staff part of the previous update. Our Dad is worried about us. About us hating him, about us blaming him. I think we should attempt to resolve those doubts before heading out cause it is possible this will be the last time we see each other and he did just take a bite for us today.
I would like to interact with the rest of the family too but I can't think of anything besides a generic "talk to everyone" thing. We'll hopefully have more time to do that afterwards.
[X] [APC] Yes, you will likely need their help to get there in the increasingly treacherous forest.
- [X] [APC] [Reveal] Try to convince Captain Martin to detour toward the Prime Tree.
I think it's important to get to the Prime Tree asap both personally and to resolve this crisis. Sure this involves telling Captain Martin another of our powers but I feel like the Prime Tree and its location won't be that big a deal especially after we finish our Connection. I also feel like with what we know from the Prime Tree and this crisis that we can convince Martin that our Tree is important to the Operation and not just us side tracking everything for no reason.
[X] [DwtFLU] She was all the forest and all the forest was her.

Picking Tracking cause I feel like it will help best in our next fight and our future. I would had also liked to pick Time since that seems like a 'Skill' type ethos which would really be helpful in combat but oh well.
[X] [BtCabE] Remain as conservative as humanly possible, only draw upon Pithe to save another's life.
Ideally we should only be fighting if things are bad so we should wait until someone would die before stepping back into the thick of it.

No real feeling about this just I think someone looking for their sister to be more interesting than the other two
[O] [DD] She'd likely never have another shot at this. He who sows the most seeds, reaps the greatest harvest. (Evie's {{REDACTED}} will not replace your fifth Ethos choice (available Ethea will be rerolled))
I want to double down even if I feel we don't really need to currently just feels like the kind of thing we need to do to eventually win in the Future. Cause the World won't wait for us to play it safe and level up slowly as shown by the current event.
Edit: Voided my double down vote cause I feel a little scared thinking more on it. Not enough to vote against but enough to just let the vote fall where it will without me
Ominous Tithe. Is that just the name for us being forced from our home once we grow up? Are the Noosemen part of the Tithe or a separate thing? At the very least it seems Captain values us even if it's probably for his own potential gains. Still nice to have an adult in power on our side.
This is a nice power though in retrospect we probably should had picked a different BraveBlood that would had helped us more during the chase since that would hopefully helped us from exhausting ourselves. At least we have armor which is more than we started with.
This is probably Evie's fault and hopefully not something to get us killed over as an abomination to mankind or whatever.
Man sometimes I get annoyed by healing powers or healers who ask for permission before healing but then I remember assholes like Marius exist. At least ask before rendering someone infertile albeit temporarily. This isn't a situation where time if of the essence and asking for forgiveness is more important than asking for permission. Like I bet this moment was like at least 25% why we would had unlocked the inverted Ethos this turn because of how much it hurt Lilly.
I think this entire thing is understandable but also unpleasant for Lilly to have to deal with cause Captain Martin seems purely professional in that he wants to deal with this crisis with as few complications as possible and that requires Lilly to not mess anything up. I feel like we can trust Martin to do his job to his utmost ability but no more than that which is going to be important to keep in mind for the vote.
Yeah the you of what a few hours ago? Is a very weaker person than the you of now lol
Very interesting nice to have at least decent understanding of one the main sources of power in this setting. Still amazes me the Dream Within a Forest is apparently Common with all that it can do since it's the main reason we're so crazy Essence wise
Wow a sort of hive mind thing going on where everyone knows where everyone else and the enemies are. That's crazy especially given how the Wolves were trouble because of the guard not being able to find them.
This however is kind of concerning. Did the Captain listen to us as payment for our services? Because our power made it so he could change his plan easily with no trouble? Hopefully it's just the Captain trying to get on our good side via an action he doesn't feel compromises the mission.
Guard OP please never nerf.
Dream Within a Forest is super crazy that we can power over a 100 men with Pithe and some of the men give up first with us feeling a mild strain.
Party Member XP is best XP. Hopefully this level up won't cause any issues even if pick the risky option.
Yeah that's real worry Lilly cause as much good as we have done I'm still not sure if it'll end up good for us cause as they say no good deed goes unpunished and it would just be peachy that after dealing with the Maw Wolves we get screwed over by mundane humans because we dared to help. At least it seems the Captain will allow us to stay in town for 9 months which is more than I hoped after this crisis.
I feel this is also part of Evie's influence given what she mentions at the end though Lilly herself has been show to grow and mature super fast even before Evie's restructuring.
If the Captain thinks he needs us than I fear he might really need us so going is only wise if we want this crisis to end. The favors also help. Though I wonder what's Martin's thinking inside his head cause you would think he would try and convince us to help more instead of that one paragraph. Does he maybe not want to involve Lilly, a child, in this but his professional side feels she's too useful not to use?
[X] [CI] Okay. I'll come.

This update has cleared up a misconception. Lilly is not the Deific fragment, the Deific fragment is in the forest. It is in control of the wolves; It is what drives Valerie and Aboleath southward to the Silent Sea; It is the foulness that nips at the Prime Tree's roots; It is why the Captain was willing to head south and strike into the forest.

Alternate titles after this arc:
"Lilly needs you to please forget what you just saw"
"Lilly's a Town Guard now!"
"Lilly wants a desk job"
"Lilly's a tree now. Deal with it."
"Lilly's going to burn this town to the ground herself so HELP me"
...Hmm. I don't think the Captain has any idea what the fragment is, but there might be something to this. I had thought that the deific reunification was more of a Highlander deal, but what if Lilly isn't a Fragment in and of herself, but a Vessel. Her soul has been altered to connect with multiple power sources and even a Spirit converted into an Ethos; what if the intent is that the Vessels are intended to collect the Fragments for the reformation of the Maw's true form? Granted, if there can only be one Vessel in the end, then it devolves into Highlander anyway... Oh, gosh, what if the intent was for Lilly to find the Fragment early on and become a crazed psychopath like Valerie, but being in a coma for a month threw that all up in the air? And once we confront the corruption, can we destroy it? Or will there be no other choice but to assimilate it?

Cooperate, but lean into our assets as necessary to keep things humming along. This is how cooperation starts.
[X] [DwtFLU] She saw it in her dream, it became a little more real.
Seems to be interacting with the Weird Shit that [Dream within the Forest] operates on that we've gained insight into. This is good, we should lean into this.
[X] [DwtFAME] I embrace the connection between all things.
This feels fitting to the story arc, Lilly's greatest power has been derived from her Connections, it's the big thing keeping her afloat so far.

Situational Awareness is something that Lilly seems to keep fucking up, this seems to be a good step towards solving that.

We're better, but we're not good yet. Save that Pithe for when we really need it.
[X] [NIV] Meanwhile across the Ocean.
Why not?
[X] [DD] Better one tree firmly rooted than two seeds plucked from the ground. (Status Quo)
We've gathered far too much attention as it is. The amount we've accumulated is not yet beyond management, but it's on the edge of it. Another transient power boost now won't help us if it triggers escalation we can't handle tomorrow.
Now, onto the Noosemen... While the association with executions is resonant... It doesn't fit.
But consider that a noose has another use that predates hanging--to secure an object to a rope easily. Or in layman's terms "These are the guys who make sure that random murderhobos don't become a thing by making sure anyone who's got an Ethos that could cause serious disruption to the social order gets invested in it first."
Or, in more political terms. "These are the guys who makes sure superhumans have a steady job eating their attention instead of plotting to overthrow the social order, and they don't take 'But I want to be unemployed' as an answer."
The Tithe is probably how a Loremaster keeps score--identifying potent individuals and having them shipped off to a central place to be exploited in some fashion, and there's probably a quota for it (Hence the distaste--probably a lot of promising people end up getting Tithed long before they have a chance to contribute in a meaningful fashion, which means you have to go through the Loremasters or whoever they're feeding to get special support).
Now, normally, I imagine the Noosemen probably don't give a shit--anyone who's developed an Ethos of all but the most humble provenance gets a visit from them and encouraged to get in line. In that sense, Lilly's current position is both very good and very bad. It's good in the sense that they're going to likely lead off with a generous offer and play with the kid gloves because holy shit her power is a tactical game changer on a level that even I didn't anticipate. That's someone you very much want with you willingly cooperating.
But it's also very bad in that they're going to be very determined not to let her run off into the wild. Because this is also the kind of build that can suddenly materialize a rebellion that's genuinely threatening. Refusing their generous offer is probably Instant Epilogue material, and the Captain is frustrated because he has a game changer right here but he knows full well that the Noosemen aren't going to let him keep her here when they can have her shipped off to some big central officer academy or something to be filled with propaganda and set up leading and/or supporting some hyper elite formation somewhere, and even he doesn't have the influence to convince them to consider 'Training in house' as an answer.
I wonder if I'm along the right track here?
Anyway, no immediate vote here for the family matters, I like the "Forgiveness" thing. We can ask about this other shit later--we've still got nine months until the Noosemen come around at least.

You got it from using {Pulse Surge} over and over after having just broken another ability under [Brave Blood]. It's effectively a deeper level of Exhaustion that Essence cannot just wish away.
Valerie and Abby have had a few level ups
."In much the same way that you would prefer your lifeboat without holes in it."
And [Keen Bow]
And that's exactly what you'll get! We're in the 7th Era right now though, so humans won't even be around. It's background lore.
Almost 100% of your growth was from the [Dream]. Evie still stole a chunk, but then shared just enough to [Brave Blood] to make it hit expansion.
Thanks for corrections.
It's all the same, and it means you've been using Pithe abilities to the point its getting unhealthy. The analogy I used used in ANs was that Essence gives you as much water as you want for your pipe, but you've pumped so much through that now the pipes joints are getting stressed.
That sounds like a thought-crime to me. You'd best hope there aren't any magics for detecting thought-crimes
.And all you had to do was smash the Status Quo over its head.
I don't think this one will win the vote. So you'll never know just how hilariously on point that phrase is to what's happening across the Ocean.
I can't say anything spoilery. But I'm quite impressed at the overall explanation you've put together here.

Here's a tally. Things important to note
Our new Dream power is very close with Dreams More Real being one ahead of She was the Forest.
The Dream Fame vote is also one vote way with Connection being slightly ahead of Twin Nature
Those who are concerned about the Double Down vote should be aware taking the risk is ahead by one vote so if you don't want to take even more risks and haven't voted yet please do.
Finally not many people are voting for the family stuff with the highest being telling our Father that we forgive him with a mere 3 votes.

I like the forgiveness and acceptance for Lilly's father for the Family Matters write-in option, more than my write-in actually, I'll edit it when I have the chance.
Just to be thorough, I thought about any other family options we might want.
I'm still working, but could anyone check to see if now is the time to ask Lilly's mom about her namesake?
I think there was some wisdom advice about the to ask her, and it could help keep Lilly's head on straight for whatever's coming.
Also adding a question of "Mother, please, what is my namesake?" to the forgiveness would hopefully help with not distancing her mom further.

Also not gonna lie, really hoping that this doesn't turn into something as similar as "Pink Passenger Voice turns Lilly into an entity of pure crystal and logic with no need for puny organs and feelings," because as far as I'm concerned that's the quest bad-ended right there.

Hmm, considering the latest tally I guess I'll slightly amend my vote. A new vote block will supercede the old one, right?
[X] [CI] Okay. I'll come.

[X] [APC] Yes, you will likely need their help to get there in the increasingly treacherous forest.

Also @Alectai while I doubt it'll change the outcome of the vote, your vote for BB is currently being tallied separately because you didn't include Evie's hint in the vote's name

Loss of Humanity would trigger an Epilogue yes. Lilly needs to be recognizably human for the quest to continue.
Multiple ethea are our greatest strength, and one we desperately need when we're already at risk and crazy lady is coming right for us. Letting Evie take that opportunity from us would be a mistake.
Also, would it even be possible to get rid of Evie at any point in the future?

I had actually completely forgotten about this, it's been a while. Thank you.

...Aha! This is probably why Myah was so invested in getting Lilly to share her "faking death" ability which was good enough to "fool" Madam Silva. Once the Lore Warden's got you marked, you're an "asset of the State" and they won't let you just run away. Makes me wonder how Mathew ended up staying here with [Blessed Armsman]...unless he didn't. Maybe he got taken by the Tithe, did his training, then requested to come back to Harmuph?
All [Militant] and no [Reverant Advocate] makes Lilly a dull girl. Granted, a bit of temperance and restraint is healthy, but there are avenues of power that Machivillians will never have access to, and it feels a little hypocritical to be the beneficiary of Lilly's compassion and then "shut the door behind you."
...But...You mean...How...
I don't know which is worse: The fact that our mother would only be willing to tell us about our name in the midst of an Alpha invasion, or the fact that the Ladder factored that into its calculations for its answer and neglected to mention the context.
At any rate, through this discussion, I feel that a few changes to my vote might be prudent. I was really hoping for Restoration and Heritage, but I think Connections might get me something close to what I want. And maybe Double Dipping nearby 100 or so soldiers isn't...prudent, considering it only takes one detector-type to spoil the game.

They're already going to see us expand, I'm not even sure they can tell if we get another or even when we'll actually get it. As long as we don't anything particularly flashy we can pass it off if need be.
Also Blademaster you need to close your top vote.

Without going back to double-check the updates where we talked with her, the impression I got was that she had quite obviously awakened to some kind of vampiric Ethos. I figured that might be something that's frowned upon much like a town of humans might frown on an actual vampire and she was looking to fake her own death and get out of there before she got caught (and if she could learn how to do so repeatedly it would be helpful for any close calls in the future.)
...But thinking on it more, I'm not sure she could have concealed such a thing from a Loremaster when she got brought in to have her Ethos recorded so you might be right that she's been put on a list of some sort not entirely like us and that's what she's trying to escape.
