Yeah.

It seems to me that C is as close to staying out of it as it gets. I'll flop to that.

BC.

As for the first choice, one of the ways telling the half-truth could backfire remarkably on us is that BJ might consider the information we give her not important enough to hide it from Madam Nie. She is playing for both sides, currently. If Madam Nie knows who Shun was, she can piece it together faster than BJ would. OTOH, telling BJ everything would let her have an advantage on her shifu and shimu that she might not want to give up.

Then again, she might decide to do the opposite and tell them straight away in the hopes of being put in an even more profitable position. Still don't want to risk it.

In the second choice C seems to give us better gains, so yeah changing my voting prefference.

Also it's funny that you accept Kashimir's arguments of the bat, but mine not when we basicaly said the same thing.

Naah.
You basically argued that we shouldn't help him, because he is murderous bandit.
Kashim slippers reminded the rest of us retards that we have big group of orthodox buddies with us and we shouldn't be so quickly to help Pang, because of that.

Edit: I flop to AC

Alternatively, you could have talked to Madam Nie, drawing her interest to yourself and away from Xuezi, or talked to the Huashan Twins, which would have earned you an invite onto their boat, or to Nie Wuxing, trolling him so much that he asks you to be there just to keep an eye on you.

Okay, I'll flop for A>B A>B then.

It's better to fight the Little Tiger than it is to fight his buddies, I think he cares more for the life of his underlings than his own safety as demonstrated in the update.

In before the Twins are taken hostage.

C has the chances of entangling Pang in the fight so he cant run from Bai as he tries to help his cronies. Also I beliefe Twins will get caught if we dont help. The tropes, follow the tropes!

I still think it's a mistake to jump in BJ/Pang fight with our arm. It's not fully healed yet and shouldn't be used against master-level pugilists. Doctor's orders and everything.

Considering that we're fighting with BJ, Little Tiger will be a piece of cake between the two of us. And, really, we ought to work on our alliance with BJ.

I don't care about the twins, at least not enough to turn up fighting with BJ.
Might be the stuff that gets us the invite on Nie's boat. Though it may be too late for that.

And, really, we ought to work on our alliance with BJ.
So, sabotaging her fight and making her master displeased with her is your idea of working on the alliance, then? :)

Yeah, I'm flipping to 2A, since 2B is a retarded idea as Kashmir Slippers said. Better to capture him, turn him into the Imperial Guard and make sure Shun hears of this from us. If Little Tiger lives that long.
I have a feeling that he learned something about the Court or zhangs that he wasn't meant to, or took something of theirs (like a legendary manual).

How are the imperial guard going to hold him though? Or better question, who are these imperial guards if they can put Pang Xiaohu on the run?

I wouldn't worry about them losing our murderbro once Jing and BJ subdue him. And yeah, I'm curious about their identities too.
Did Shun assemble some kind of hardcore new regiment? Or are these zhang Clan guys?

Bros, anyone open to flop to 1B 2A, subdue Little Tiger alongside BJ and share some info? Don't really see the point of C, to be honest. So we go with the Nie twins to subdue ten bandits that they can, in all likelihood, handle themselves, instead of developing our working relationship with BJ.

Our relationship with BJ is build on mutual benefit. I don't see how our assistance would benefit her. She can handle herself, and worst case scenario, we'll be stealing spotlight from her.

Telling her the information she seeks - I can see that. Not messing up her mission - sure. But do you really think she needs help in a fight?

I am still pretty open to any of the options except D, but your reasons don't really feature on my list of factors affecting the decision.

Because there can't be any relationships without interaction, and as it is (CC is winning), we are having none. It even feels to me like we're pushing her away (no exchange of information and no fighting together).
Moreover, Little Tiger is the main target here, and dangerous, while the regular bandits are not really that big of a deal.
That, and this is wuxia. Nothing builds friendships like fighting together.

wtf is this chat window on the bottom of my screen?

If we reveal that we fought an immortal, we'll also be revealing the sword isn't real - because how could we have defeated an immortal otherwise? Unless we were at Xuezi's power level, which Bai knows we are not. Bai's INT stat is pretty high as we learned from how easily she figured out our WQS.

So, for the first choice, I recommend an all or nothing approach.
1A>C
The second choice...well, do you have to ask?
2C>D

There are more people voting for sharing information with BJ than those who wish to stay silent. If they can't coordinate - well, the Dex gets what the Dex deserves.

As for the interaction, I still want an in on the Nie boat, and I've been pushing for the Twins so far, so the choice makes perfect sense to me.

As for the sword - what would make anyone think that the real sword can kill immortals? We didn't know it, and the immortal herself was surprised. Why would Bai suspect anything? It does not point to the identity of the sword one way or the other.

Besides, no one is supposed to know how powerful the immortals are. Even Shun was caught off-guard despite all the research he did. Why can't we banish one, as far as Bai is concerned?
