[x]Use the Crimson Lost Mask to attempt to feed on Zombies if doing so establishes a characterization of recklessness for Dorian

[X] Enter Hospital
The idea of trying to farm whatever those things were for blood is clever, but we're wounded pretty badly so I don't want to get too cute with things just yet.

Why would we want Dorian to be reckless?

Discord concerns about our characters morality due to the nature of our crafting mask I'm currently heeding. Basically our crafting mask is the equivalent to a gamma reactor on Dorian's homeworld/wasn't much better if any than the mask that weaponized facelessness and we're somewhat panicking about it, because it means we're either an amoral monster or incredibly reckless

Oh. Damnit.
I'd prefer to work out whether the characterization implications before we fire off a plan instead of relying on a conditional.
Still, your priorities seem to align with mine. I'll leave a namevote in case I don't check back for whatever reason.

That's when Dorian issued a signal; a crossbow bolt struck the Inquisitor's neck, its force causing him to drop to one knee. The female Inquisitor drew a rapier but within an instant froze as Dorian stepped forward and sunk a cold blade into her collarbone, slamming it through and neutralizing her. Before the final Inquisitor could decide on shouting for aid or intervening, a third assassin stepped out of the shadows from behind, and in one proficient motion, snapped his neck. The crossbowman fired a second bolt, right between the leader's eyes, as Dorian drew the blade out and allowed the woman's lifeless body to drop prone. Each of the inquisitors was smiling as they died.

Dorian can be pretty ruthless about his objectives.

The Emperor, borrowing Duke Bauta's form, stood with arms casually folded. He'd observed the spectacle as if viewing a show in a theater. The azure mist, in the meantime, had continued to spew out spirits of the dead and coating the courtyard's floor; a veritable battalion of soldiers facing Dorian and closing off access from his quarry.

Adrenaline came down soon, and with it, came a deeper, more abiding pain; no more muted by the strain of effort and loss. Gradually, the Emperor's command unwound, like a knot undone by years of decay, and he finally comprehended the crime of betrayal he'd committed. He'd not known Cross and Shade for more than a year, and it still ached.

Damn that is going to traumatize him being forced to kill his own comrades is messed up.

Faceless?

All of them certainly resembled a Faceless on the surface, although only in that regard; their bodies sallow and thin, faces ashen and dead-eyed, as if deprived of meaning or human substance, and mouths producing no sounds except the guttural. And yet, he could still identify each one easily, and differentiate them. That wasn't true Facelessness.

The different cultures and culture shock is going to be something he'll have to adjust to.
 
For the moment I'm just going for
[x]Enter Hospital

Edit: Good News Everyone! *Professor Farnsworth Voice*
The Artificer Mask has enough concept space to not make you a full retroactive sociopath.
But still
it's a Facelessness mask so
making it back on Drethir indicates
a certain willingness to cross any taboo it takes
to reach your goal.

[X] Enter Hospital - You're in a shitty situation, so you'll have to make do with it. Facelessness or not, there's a measure of safety in numbers; you can only use a single mask at a time either way.
 
I don't think Dorian would trust these maskless strangers, he's in a wounerable spot right now.

Especially with the pseudo-faceless monsters (zombies)

I think the most reasonable thing he can do now is go for the house

[X] Enter House

Also I think this could be a good opportunity for character development, like does victory against the emperor really matter if you're just as bad if not worse? R.E facelessness mask

He did just lose two friends too his recklessness, he could grow from this and put more thought into his future endeavors. And not make a FACELESSNESS MASKS but idk these are just some thoughts i had :p

I might come back to this later and refine it, we'll see.
 
[X] Enter House

Imagine Dorian, these are like people walking around and no selling the worse method of execution their people have. He already underestimated the Emperor, and word of God his wounds are not that bad.

He should play everything carefully.
 
We should naturally gravitate to people given how Webweaver works. In house we get to use about 0% of Webweaver, with guys we get to use social parts.

Worst come to be we can always just use Crimson Lost to kill everyone and heal. If they are anywhere near friendly, we use our social and healing to become part of the group and then we give them masks.
 
[X] Enter Hospital

Dorian's Mask is exellent for social and it's where his primery skills are. Better to gather information and figure out where he is and go from there. +Potential Ally's/Healing/Resources.
