With Seafood force marching you it might take about 15 instead. It might be 13, even, but the Ceremony is taking its toll.
Your Seafood just gives you pointers, doesn't teach you anything new; you get good with the Hundred Year Corpse Eater and the Eight Devouring Transformations over the next six days.

[TWO CHOICES TO BE MADE]
***
You've done the Ceremony a whole lot now, enough to do it without thinking.
One night you complete it per usual and are just about to flop and sleep as fast as possible- because Seafood will kick you awake if you rise later than him- Gui Li speaks to you.
You can see right good in moonlight, fairly well in full dark, but you can't really see Gui Li, even though you know she's right there. She doesn't want you to.
Seafood says Women, Virgins, and Children make vengeful Ghosts. Gui Li is all three and oooh she vengeful plenty plenty. You're glad she can't kill you directly. Seafood said so.

The way to Plague Town is certain, especially when you can see the stars.
The trouble is you remember the Plague Town has very few healthy people. You *can* just let Seafood devour the Town completely, but you remember that because of the Bad Magic several groups of strong Fighty Ones came by there to fix it. They should be all gone now, but some of them should be the White Ones (Paladins or Clerics) from the big City (Stelle Staas) not very far from the actual Humie Capitol. If you make too big a noise there they might think the Bad Magic's back. If you make some ambushes on the way, you might make things easier in Plague Town.
You suggest to Seafood to:
>vanish some lone travellers from the road, 1d4 LM>off small groups of commoners, 1d4 + 1d6 LM>top a bunch of Fighties off the map, 2d4 + 1d8 LM>wipe some /k/nightboy wannabes in a WAAAGH! 5d6 LM>Other?

"What a splendid idea! Opportune and easy, from a Tudi so diligent and bright! YOU do it! I look forward to your good news! Faah hahahahaaa!"
Shit!
