I should once again like to stand up for Garden of Mists

Zeful said:
I want to talk about Liminal Carver, Ling Qi's formation Trait:

As we (the players) move towards managing territory rather than the relationships with individuals, we need to start thinking about what Ling Qi can provide beyond just a stick to hit things with. For example Zhengui can help with harvests and the growth of various plants, as well as start taking command of the local spirit ecosystem. Hanyi's idol work will be helping by providing Ling Qi contacts and managing the local spirit ecosystem (incidently, based on current trends, Hanyi is essentially going to be patron of local priestesses since the whole negotiate with local spirits for protection is essentially what she's doing), but currently Ling Qi doesn't have much, and while there's nothing wrong with being a warrior, Ling Qi isn't really set up that well for teaching (since the change in system removed the benefits from teaching music she got from Songseeker Ceremony) like Gan is.

That's where Liminal Carver comes in, and not to put to fine a point on it, this formation specialty is kind of crazy in terms of civic engineering. Every culture I've ever heard stories from (which, granted, is not many) have ascribed some power to thresholds, and those stories are why I think this trait is as important as things like Winter's Heart or Dreamwalker. The Bible story of Exodus for example had markings on the threshold of every home act as an IFF for a biblical plague; imagine if a Violet Ling Qi could throw out her strongest attacks in her own city and hit none of her citizens. That's probably a little extreme and would probably require very advanced formationcraft that is very expensive, but I feel the point stands. On a less extravagant note, many cultures have charms that are buried under the threshold provide protection for the family that lives inside. Liminal Carver should logically be able to do the same thing, providing more benefits than just a nebulous "protection". And this is all just one part of the trait, there are also a lot of doorways and borders within cities, and estates, and buildings. A hospital benefits from being segmented in a way that this trait could take a ton of advantage of, surgeries need a specific kind of environment to maximize the chance of the patient surviving the operation, recovery rooms want a specific kind of environment to encourage both mental and physical recovery, and even lobbies could benefit.

I could spend another thousand words just explaining how this trait could improve a city, but that would more than belabor the point, Liminal Carver provides Ling Qi a concrete way to improve the world in some small way, be it something impossibly grand like a hospital that can treat any condition or illness, or something as mundane as a park where people can relax and destress. That alone means it needs to, at least, be something the thread invests in regularly, even if not every turn.

I'm sorry to use your words @Zeful but I find them very convincing... 😅

Not sure about other people's priorities, but that's one of my highest. After we bring on the Meng geomancy expert to our projects, that is. They're basically perfectly made for each other subjects. Having a true professional in the background opens up a lot of doors, and it preserves time and narrative space that would otherwise be spent futzing around for deeper conceptual exploration and character moments.

We are super busy with all sorts of priorities in the next handful of months. One of the huge advantages with the geomancer's service to us is it lets us not worry about Liminal Carver/Zhengui stuff slipping through our fingers. We can confidently fix it in place further down our timeline, and simply not worry about it for right now. Because it's not the kind of story arc that requires a lot of pieces put in place beforehand.

My current top priority is finishing the survey. Anything else is second to that.

Hm, I don't agree with that. We have a lot of time to finish the survey.

Exploring locations will now advance you toward reward thresholds based on your roll on the d100 with modifiers. When you reach the maximum reward threshold the site is fully explored.

I don't see a reason why we should rush this as our number one priority. Yea it's nice and we get to know that land. But as long as we don't have our home there we can't feasibly interact with all the stuff available.
On top of all the stuff on our list remember that there is a military campaign coming up and I fear that little class trip into the wall will take more than one week and will severely limit what we can do for personal actions and even cultivation actions in the effected turn (or even turns).

In the next turn the Survey will likely compete with Hostess Lessons and Long hand of the Law as professional actions + whatever new actions we managed to pick up along the way.

My only hope for the next vote is that we actually managed to bring some of our plotlines to a nice finish. Otherwise we are gonna drown in options.
 
I'm not sure we need to hurry long hand of the law, though I guess finishing a quest chain will be satisfying. Hostess lessons and paying respects feel more urgent, since we can't do it out of the sect (unless there is a reason we can't do long hand when we're not in the sect anymore, ofc)

As for arts that we want to develop because they'll combo well with the fief, Garden of Mists from winter hearth resounding and raising the Bastion from melody of the spirit seeker are definitely on top of the to-do list... after FSS+, and probably a few isolation projects so we can trigger that dream tribulation. According to the spreadsheets maniacs over on the discord, we'll have to take the grinning project to breakthrough in body and spiritual next turn, so that's something to consider too

I'd rather finish long arm of the law asap because it feels in character to do so, both for revenge (and justice, i guess, for those who like that sort of thing), and to make sure there will be no trouble from that corner again.

My priority for long hand of the law is because Diao Hualing said that we would have "some weeks" to take action here.

yrsillar said:
"Granting temporary arrest power to a contracted agent requires some paperwork, but is hardly too unusual," Diao Hualing shrugged.

"Done then," Ling Qi said. A bit of a chase would be good for honing her skills. "How long do I have?"

Long Arm of the Law Quest advanced. Action unlocked.

"Some weeks, well after your auction at least," Diao Hualing replied.

This is liable to change on we get the actual choices, but right now my picks are:
-Grinning: So we can get to both Spiritual amd Phisical Framing. That's important. We would also complete the 3 first moons actions from Songseeker. Moon Flute quest unlocked?
Phantasmal Mastery: Yrsiyall has hinted a lot about the applications of this one. It would be a great battle boost. Let's indulge him.
I also love the idea of including constructs in FSS+. Like the child mist that took Renxiang's hand back when we completed our domain weapon (my favourite fanart of the quest, btw).
Raising the Bastion: for the reasons explained in my previous post.
Now, I know this will be the most contested one. A lot of good picks.

That's it for arts. For Personal Actions I'm pretty convinced most would want Li Suyin's action now that it has been improved. We have a gift to deliver!

I wouldn't worry about the fief survey action. That's bound to be a locked action unless something serious (war) happens. Maybe we can choose between exploring more or developing (event) what we already have.

I'm also pretty sure Long Arm is time sensitive. It would be really weird for Diao Hualing to call, saying they have already identified the culprit, and for us to go:
"Well, yeah, but I'm kind of busy with my friends right now. Can't we wait a couple months until I have more free time?"

Beyond that, everything is more open, because we don't have the locked Auction anymore.
Maybe Meizhen's Dad's Gift (2 of 3)? It has already helped us a lot, and if we want the completion rewards we have to keep investing actions on it.

This turn vote will be more complex that the previous one. Maybe we should have separate Cultivation and Personal/Professional plans?

This tbh, I really want Liminal Carver, but it makes SO much more sense to do it at the Fief after some setup has been completed and we have some relevant expertise at our disposal.

There is if we want to follow up on any, "Before you go, you should (X)" tips, which is a reasonable connection-building thing that someone might do now that we're important (or that Jiao and Xin might, for old times). It's a pretty flexible storyline opportunity for any sect-related things that Yrsillar never got to spotlight, or that he came up with too late to throw in normally.
 
Don't forget we're supposed to have a war arc under the command of the White Plumes in there, somewhere, somehow. There's no way we don't lose actions/have them locked in for that. I'm thinking turn 16 is the most viable for the war arc? If it's turn 17, then we're in for a challenging time and may end up having to cram a whole bunch of things into turn 18 last-second that we might have wanted to leave open room to followup on.

While I like Bastion and I agree with you, I think doing Xiangmen, Fortress of Tsu 1 this next turn is a perfect narrative fit and if we don't do it now, when will we do it?

On the other hand a bunch of "But before you go..." will end up diluting the goodbye, changing it from one coherent scene to something that kind of slowly happens over the course of several months in-universe and years out-of-universe.

Turn 15: Preliminary Vote
  • Threadmarks
    • Turn 15 Dawns. For this month you will have 2 Professional and 2 Personal actions. A personal Action may be swapped for a Professional action. One personal action is locked to The Long Hand of the Law Quest. You may select three cultivation projects. There will be only the normal Two hour voting moratorium since there has been a week to consider what you'd like.

    Here I will add a brief explanation of Exploration Actions as they exist in the new system. Firstly exploration actions are always connected to some narrative beat and thus are never 'empty' secondly rather than isolated rolls for results. Exploring locations will now advance you toward reward thresholds based on your roll on the d100 with modifiers. When you reach the maximum reward threshold the site is fully explored. It is still possible to eanr special rewards or miss them during the narrative section, but Exploration will no longer have a chance of turning up nothing. Some Explorations will only be available for a single instance though so you may not reach the full threshold for those.

    Omake points can be applied to exploration rolls. Each one adds a modifier of +5. Each person may contribute up to two points to a roll, and the overall maximum omake modifier is +40, meaning four people contributing their full points.

    Locked Retainer Action:

    • Survey the Wall: You will need to begin establishing yourselves, Renxiang and you. The cradle of the Sect will no longer last forever. Search within the newly claimed sections of the wall for good location choices to investigate further. With Cai Renxiang's funding and help this task will be much expedited. [Exploration Action; 1d100 Base +40 for liege attention, First Reward Threshold at 60, with additional thresholds at 100, 120, and 160 and 200 and 300.

    Locked Personal Action

Gain Information, +1 Mystery XP. Characters: Diao Hualing, Sixiang, Hanyi)

    Professional Actions: (2 available)

Characters, Bai Meizhen, Wang Chao, Xuan Shi, various]

    Personal Actions (1 Locked, 1 Available)

It is time to take a little time aside to walk the high mountain peaks, to think and listen and remember. [Must be taken with the Frozen Soul Serenade Successor project. Character's Hanyi and Sixiang]
    • Little Workshop of Wonders: You've drifted apart from Suyin a little and your time at the Sect is coming to a close. Now you have a gift to give and an excuse.
