We can't go with DC. The chances of finding a major breakthrough on the sword by tomorrow are slim-to-none. We came here in order to get the manual and form a closer relationship with the Wudang sect. C will leave us without the manual, set us back with the Wudang (we couldn't do what we said we would) and set us back with the seedy underworld that we're on the verge of breaking into. The Imperial Court wants us dead regardless of whether we go through this mission or not, so I think the expression "in for a penny, in for a pound" applies here. We gotta do it, the only question is: how?
I'd say that we really need BJ here. Yes, the increased risk of the whole affair being discovered will increase with having that vain showboater around, but doing the assassination solo is a moot point if we die in the attempt on the chief's life. #1 priority is to get it done (difficult in our current injured circumstances), getting it done clean is icing on the cake. I understand that this will put the Imperial Court on our ass for the rest of our days, but they want us dead anyways, and to make up for that, we'll get a huge rep boost with the Bandit Kingdom, Youxia City, and a significant one with the Wudang sect as well. This is a more than worthy tradeoff in my opinion, considering the Imperial Court wants to kill us regardless - the only difference will be that they will simply try harder.
But that's where our new friends come in.
We've got a Stealth 5 with our qinggong, which is decent but not particularly amazing. If we had Kagemi, perhaps, but these agents are probably alert and have sharp eyes. Though of course, the mission is at night, so at least we've got that going for us. As for the poisons, we could probably cook up something of our own since we have Herbalism 5. We have the recipe for Three Poisons Powder, but I'm sure these guys are versed in poisons, so they might sniff it out. It won't be easy.
Nah, I don't think so. If that were the case, then even going solo would put them in danger due to association. Yeah, the Imperial Court will put the screws on them, but they won't go after the orthodox sects so lightly, I don't think. First, the government seems reluctant to trifle with them in the first place (they keep the rural areas safe) and secondly, they aren't going to kill a bunch of guys uninvolved in the actual assassination attempt. That's the whole point of doing it ourselves or not involving the Wudang sect members in the whole affair.
