For the arm:
A.
Chuji is being a true bro here and I would hate to turn him down also it would let Cao'er feel/be important. She wants to fix us then let her fix us.
If it works it should also help us attend to our other responsibilities. The Fire Cult springs to mind but another example is right there in the update. If we want to train Qilin ourselves (which I am fairly certain will win no matter what) then we should be mindful that doing so will limit our ability to improve our own martial arts which
likely means limiting our development of a new fighting style between now and the summit.
It will be easier to help her if we first help ourselves.
For the escort:
B.
We will be traveling 'together'/along the same route either way so I don't have a strong opinion here and can see the benefits of both but I want to summon some of our Amesha Spenta and I would rather not have them showing up while we are traveling in the same group as Nie. It is likely to raise the wrong sorts of questions.
A little distance will do us some good there I think.
For the Amesha Spenta:
A.1&4
So we have:
I. Vairya - Guardian of Metal and all around badass. We need to pick this guy and get some training in.
II. Haurvatat - the 'mother' figure, she might be a bit stifling.
III. Manah - Is mostly a blank slate, might be interesting though.
IV. Ameretat - should be fun and we could use another
healer but she is also likely the weakest as she is quite new
Rob (obviously) to help train either us or Yunzi (maybe both) and Ameretat to have a secondary healer around so we do not have to lose all healing capabilities if we have to split up again. If we are going to travel with Nie though we should probably avoid summoning anyone so if 2.A wins I will probably flip to 3.B.
As for training Qilin:
A.
Easy, she is family of course we help her.
A, B, A (1 & 4>3), A
