Simple plan and a bit late. Get Renshi to teach his students this to get more followers. Get our protagonist power leveling for...power. Style upgrade that works with assassinations and probably our resourcefulness 'cause I like that angle. Continue negotiations in the hope we can get some more mitigation for those aspects

After many, many attempts to contact the Zodiac Rat's Celestial Court, you finally find a reliable messenger. The starry-eyed rat introduces himself as Aki, a name you immediately believe to be false - but his contacts are good. Over many months, you pass letters back and forth using him, keeping them short so they're small enough for a rat to carry. It's enough to negotiate a new source of spiritual power for your style, though!

Charms. The basic tools of Cultivation, your weapons in the struggle to control and bind Atma.
Today, you've completed one of your oldest projects, which once shattered under your hand as you carved it. You have a bone flute to call your own, suitable to call and command all nine chords of Atma. In sounding, the interplay of the five Elements, the balance of Yin and Yang, and the power of Life; in silence, the still emptiness of Death.
It plays beautifully.
Your Master Reshi has been playing beautifully as well, in a game of negotiations over what to do with the new sect. Hampered as he is by your poor reputation as a cowardly style with ghoulish practices, there's not much headway he can make; but he does at least enshrine the Grey Rat sect as a separate sub-sect of Green Dragon, selling it as a way to prevent blowback onto any of the other masters if something should go horribly wrong.
Nothing is going to go horribly wrong, is it?

I'd like to finally get around to popularizing the production of Bone Charms among the students. We haven't actually done that yet, and it's a vital trick for advancing in the style.
As nice as finally getting to see outside the cultivation halls might be, lack of charms is going to restrict students of the Grey Rat to mook-dom.

That's true, yes, but I feel like it's probably a good idea to make ourselves useful to Green Dragon ASAP so they don't treat us poorly in future, which is something I'm a bit worried about.
If we want to have Asuka cultivate more I figure we should have her create a twin to Whitefang to drop the chance of death to 0%. I know it is only 10% but if the dice decide to screw us then we are in deep, deep, trouble without our hero unit. We only have a 30% of injury making the blade when the bonuses are factored in.

Every update that comes I fell people focus to much on building up the practioners we have and completely miss the fact that the total practioners in the entire world for our style is exactly a dozen right now.
I just don't see how we can make a Legendary style know all over the world if never take any action to make it know to more than a dozen people.
Seriously even if we started taking mission, or having the students do anything at all, the greatest limitation would be that we only have twelve people doing it.
So I think we realy should grow our sect before doing anything else, because is realy small right now.

... The typo in the plan name is going to irk me, I can tell.
Anyway. I don't think there's enough patience for more grinding to go for the bone charms; if we'd like to get into shadowy underworld actions before telling people far and wide where we're lairing, it obviously needs to be done now.
As it is, I suspect we've already raised Disreputable too high for a spreading reputation to have good results, but we're enough Survivalists that I'm not too worried about the results regardless.
