Palace of Greed, El Dorado (Library of Ruina)

Reader mode
WE'RE ALIVE! And I don't think we needed to use our trump card!

All in all, even if both of us are pretty banged up, we completed the job. Now we just need to figure out what is happening around us.
 
I say upgrading that Prudence is in order

[] Plan: Mental Cover-up
-[] 555 XP to Prudence
-[] 400 XP to Ego

We still have 585 XP left in this plan. Any preference to suggest?
 
[] Mao's Home. Mao's place, her sanctuary – you're gonna have to close your eyes, and trust her directions when you're close-ish, but even that's… that's a lot of trust given to you. Or at least, so Mao tells you. She has never told anyone about this, and… well, it's hell much closer than your own place. Plus she apparently got medicines, and her place is set for more than a few guests – in spite of never having received guests.

I have many reasons for this, not least is fuck that noise

edit: moratorium wasnt in when I wrote this, whoops

Hmmm... I'm not sure. We could boost melee some more so that when we hit things they do more damage?
 
Really fucking good update, I was almost afraid to read through it with how much tension you managed to create. Anyway, get fucked Moon, and also get fucked our Office since for some reason a fucking mini-war broke out.

Upping everything in the Prudence tree by a level so we can actually have checks would be good.

3 hours moratorium

But yes, I agree with voting that

Melee and Insight

Weeping Heartstrings Deals 13 Damage to Self. Damage is Distributed to the Bridesmaids and Groomsmen, and Mao.

Now I'm very glad we started by trying to wake Mao up. If We'd gone after the Bridesmaids then Weeping Heartstrings might have gotten to do that a 2nd time and Mao probably wouldn't have had the spare hp to use her abilities
 
That was a wild ride, but at least we got well-paid for that.
Anyway, a completed Urban Plague means we cut out most of the time needed to go up another grade. Not bad, especially since it was our first job as a 8th Grade Fixer, and neither of us took permanent damage.
Also, interesting that the Temp HP is still there. I thought that would get cleared out.
And I wonder what we can do with this Sapling we puked up and are now holding. Might be something Karrion could use.

I'd go with Melee, it's our bread-and-butter Skill. Although we could upgrade Cooking, we have some spare XP.
 
[X] Mao's Home

Would this be an equivalent of our B support in Fire Emblem terms?

By the way, we're in seven hours of purgatory right?
 
Heavily leaning towards Mao's place since she has medicine. Priority is recovering as soon as possible to be able to help out the office and our partner.
 
I was considering to save that 585 XP for our 2nd mission for more XP, but then I looked up how much they usually give based on previous Canard missions and decided "nah, not worth it." May as well spend it now.

Cooking only needs 50 XP to upgrade tho so I think we can still reallocate that to later when we get the second mission. For third upgrade, for me, either Melee or Repression. Melee is indeed our bread and butter, but investing in Repression could also be worth it. Insight could also be good as a fourth, tho I'm also considering Stealth.
 
I think it was said that Cooking can only gain EXP by actually, ya know, cooking. No allocation to be used.

Edit:
Okay, I have a suggestion since I just noticed that we are really close to getting both Prudence II and Justice III. I'm not sure how much a Canard will give but maybe if we take prudence or justice first with taking anything else, we may have enough to take the other.

I feel good about this.
 
I want to go to Mao's home. She is very badly injured and could really do with that medicine. Also I want to see where she lives

[] Mao's Home.

[] Plan: Improved Mental and Skills
-[] 555 XP to Prudence
-[] 400 XP to Ego
-[] 340 XP to Melee
-[] 110 XP to ranged
-[] 110 XP to tech
This spends 1515 of our 1540 xp

Melee is one of our main skills and it could do with a boost. Prudence and Ego improve our sanity and mental resist and that's a bit of a weakness for lily right now. Ranged and tech get enough xp for a level so that we actually get skill checks for them.

Hmm... Lily's sanity is back to normal by comparison.
Monetary Reward: 4,900,000 Ahn (35%) + 700,000 Ahn (5% — "Bonus for trusting me.") = 5,600,000 Ahn. Total in Wallet: 5,625,373 Ahn.

:o:o:o:o:o:o

We are doshed up.

Unfortunately, we are just 15 XP away from upgrading Prudence and Justice/Temperance, so unless we get an omake- wait, this isn't that kind of quest, nvm. ComeonCoffeejust15morepleaseI'llgiveyoumyeyepatches I... would still go for Justice/Temperance (I'm not sure if it was 100% confirmed that level 3 gives perks for all stats, but I think it's safe to assume such). I doubt we'll be facing something so extreme against sanity as Moon any time soon. We can do it next time. Probably. Maybe. If nothing else is pertinent. Then after that 1000 XP used, upgrade melee and cooking. It wouldn't be bad if we went for prudence, though. Just my personal perference.

That... is an option, I suppose. Gonna have to give it some thought.

I don't think Ego would improve it since it seems to increase in sets of 2? We have two armor from 4 endurance, after all. And yeah, I respect getting Ranged and Tech so they can "talk" since they're cheap enough, I'm just... too pragmatic and meta-gamey to go for them over other choices. I'm sure they have some use, though.
