No. If Zhang Minyue turns on us during the fight, she is destroying her odds against Jian Yixiao. Only Zhang Manxing is that stupid. Besides, Miss Zhou vouched for her. If she did train under the Sword Saint, then she shouldn't be the type either.
So our stealth does nothing, they even see us coming before we try to steal it, and you expect us to steal her sword with just 5 sleight of hand?C. You run in and attempt to steal the Chengying Sword right in front of everyone. If you succeed, that means the Sword Demon’s attention will be focused on you. However, whether you succeed or fail, you are guaranteed to draw hostility from Zhang Minyue and the Zhous, perhaps forcing you into a fight on two fronts.
Because sleight of hand is the stealing skill. Fast action requires fast hands. Lets ask treave then. Would sleight of hand be involved in stealing the sword?I don't see why grabbing the sword in full view of everybody would require sleight of hand and not just fast action on our part. There is no trick to it.
Hmmm, does anyone else think that Minyue improving by leaps and bounds in such a short span of time might be due to a legendary manual?
If that's your reasoning then why aren't you voting D? We'd be sitting on the sidelines observing, that alone will give us some advantage in our next encounter with the maniac thanks to WQS, high perception and intelligence. Also he might be sufficiently weakened that we can mess with him without problem. If not then we can slip into the shadows. I don't see how A has any advantage comparatively.I know that B will win but whatever, vote A guys, the other alternatives are fighting the maniac alone, suicidal, or helping our sworn enemies that are honor bound to kill us for killing Manxing, this is not our fight.
Actually B will be better for no other reason that the maniac is more dangerous that all of them combined, I doubt that they will weken him that much, we should chose a modified B where we help them but not so much to put us in real danger or exhaust us.If that's your reasoning then why aren't you voting D?

That would require him being aware of our presence. And even if he does somehow notice us and go 1v1 he will have expended at least some energy. I get the feeling this guy does a ritual to power himself up before he goes into battle, who knows how long that lasts. Anyway, if we observe him fighting we will have an advantage thanks to WQS and int/per mimicry and counters.Or he might be in a better position now that it's a 1v1 and not a 2v1.
You mean without killing someone? That doesn't sound like his MO. No, he will fight to get the sword if it's not given upon demand. If he does defeat the girl and run off with the sword before we can counter, then we still gain an advantage in that we now know some of his repertoire and can intuit their counters for next time.He could also just run off into the night with his new sword.
I doubt the benefit from the piss-weak Zhou intervening to help us of all people outweighs the benefit from Xu Jing's insight into the sword dude's abilities. Better the guy exhaust himself on cannon-fodder than us anyway.Actually B will be better for no other reason that the maniac is more dangerous that all of them combined, I doubt that they will weken him that much, we should chose a modified B where we help them but not so much to put us in real danger or exhaust us.
Actually N will be better for no other reason that the maniac is more dangerous that all of them combined, I doubt that they will weken him that much, we should chose a modified B where we help them but not so much to put us in real danger or exhaust us.
Again, that gives us an advantage. How do you see us winning in B? Do you imagine us being capable of walking away? This guy is at least at BJ's level here, we're going to have to give everything we've got, and even then there's no guarantee. How are we going to get away from the Zhou in that condition exactly?Oh no, I think he'd kill her, then he'd run off. And just because she'd get overwhelmed in a 1v1 doesn't mean we can't outfight him in a 2v1.
