I think we'll be more successful with a more cautious approach, though that doesn't mean we can't get some shit down our self. Still, I get the feeling that we can't take this thing (whatever it is) out by all by ourselves unless we get it while it's weak and have really lucky rolls.

[AoshimaMichio]

We can't even find it by ourselves. Seriously, we need loads of cash just to hire people to scour vast lands to locate it. Unless we become defacto head of state. And we probably have a time limit.

[Egan_BW]

Your need to rely on other people to help us defeat the timeless Evil is both problematic and disturbing, and I find it to be both of those things, you babies.

[Devastator]

Search around for a way to get martial training. Never know when we might need this. Except we do know that we'll need it when we go it beat up Evil, so best to get on it.

You hunt around some, and find a location dockside.  It's a dojo set up under a fairly run-down warehouse.  The equipment seems good, and there is a student practicing as you are in there.

The instructor introduces himself, and says that they take beginning students for weapon training.  Yes, the jian is a popular course.  He says you can start next week, it's two silver a week, first two weeks up front.  He says that the first training will be the basics, how to not hurt youself with a weapon, how to care for it, the basics.  Then he'll see how you progress from there.

He does say that this is a more focussed school, and will train more specifically for weapon handling than unarmed fighting, or other martial forms.  If you want to branch out into other weapons, there are groups for those as well.

Do you begin the courses?  2 silver a week, -1 period a week.

Aw yus.

[Radio Controlled]

Why not.

Also, we could think about to get in contact with officials high enough on the social ladder to help us with our quest or get our foot in the door with the palace.

[Egan_BW]

Who ever heard of a LEGENDARY HERO asking for help from royals? No, I say! This is our quest and I will not let you sell it off!

[Radio Controlled]

Nah, having smucks to do some of the lifting for us is always nice. Go play Fart Souls or Blood Porn or something Egan.

[Egan_BW]

Skrubs cannot be allowed to steal our exp and loot! Think of the loot RC! The most GLORIOUS path is always the correct path!

[AoshimaMichio]

I still believe in power of ten thousand man.

[Devastator]

I'm not quite sure what the order is here.  Are you doing an order to hobnob with nobles, or are you making a planning action about getting a governmental position?

[Radio Controlled]

I think it is planning on how to get our foot in the door with the government peeps/institutions that matter most toward completing our quest/prophecy/whatever.

[Egan_BW]

Try again with the spirit reader to get more information. Best not to bother nobles until we at least understand the threat and have an idea of what kind of help we need.

Sure, we can raise an army, but it might be hard to get people to follow us if we don't even know which way to march.

[AoshimaMichio]

I too fall on spirit reader route first. Being credible spiritual hot stuff helps when smooching on more mundane hot stuff.

[Devastator]

You look up Min Li and decide to ask her about becoming a spirit reader.

She says that although she's too busy to teach you herself, the next set of classes begins in week eight, and she can sponsor your acceptance into the program.

It would cost twenty silver for eight weeks, but with some negotiating you bring that down to fifteen silver.  It will also take two actions a week.

"Is all the money due up front?"

"No, but it would be good to have it all by week four, if you're short."
