-Pompom's voice, at first coming from a great distance, but eventually from right behind you, snaps you back to reality.
We can't, QM already said that Velvet(and consequently her faction) cannot be given actions to interact with Twilight.Maybe send Selena to talk to her as Princess Luna? Or if not talk, then at least find out what's going on. Even after everything that happened, she's still the guardian of the element ofFRIENDSHIPMAGIC, and I don't want to find out what happens if she becomes a wolf cultist. That way, even if the conversation doesn't help or doesn't happen (I don't believe that even talking to Luna will change anything), at least we'll be in the know.
Hm. So even if we sell it we can't use the bits for Hill this turn.-[] Actually, you would like to get rid of this. (FREE ACTION, WRITE IN studied artifacts to sell, to receive the bits at the END of this turn)

[X] (MAREINETTE) You introduced her to Cadance, yes, but you are still very interested in her endeavors.

[X] (MAREINETTE) Mareinette is her own mare, and Cadance could use some company. Don't do anything, and see how things turn out.

please don't be Fascination... we really don't need THAT right now!
well, when you replace one kind of Fascination with a more MOTHerly oneA dress. A filly-sized dress, more practical than elegant, but still with a few gems to make it prettier. Perfect for a filly to play in, while still being the center of attention.
Perfect for a… for a cute-ceñeara. Your daughter's cute-ceñeara.
Velvet is so close to Glory, it must hurt to delay...You can afford these slips.
As long as you don't slip too deep into the light.

You should figure out what to do about this.
All of this.
Torn Risen: 1
Rarity: 1
Jade Whistle:10 (Borrowed on the previous turn)
Fluttershy: 1
Baldomare: 1
Mareinette: 1
Velvet Axe: 2
Biedde: 1
Cherenkolt: 1
Selene: 3
Household servants: 1
1) Cherenkolt... we might want him on "prison building" duties, OR on Scrying duties, depending on the plan. Which means that either the secondary lore doesn't matter, or we want it set to Lantern.Additional notes:
Tally
-Cherenkolt, your latest... creation, has accepted his name. Although you don't think he will ever deny anything that comes from you. Even... Well, he is currently in your workshop, disguised as an intricate and half-finished clock to conserve its energy. You will properly address him later. (Winning vote)
-You have decided to signal to Mareinette that you are still interested in hosting her. You can only wait and see how she will react in turn. (Winning vote)
-Jade Whistle said she wishes to do something, on her own, and will be unavailable this turn. But from next month onward, she believes she will be able to aid you with more types of research than just those of her dreams.
-Rarity has, with the most apologetic of tones, told you she feels she is falling behind with her contract with the Needles. She asked if you could (pretty please) not ask her to take any commissions this month. Or, ideally, let her focus fully on her career instead. (Note, Rarity is a Minion, you may order her to do whatever you want, and this is just her personal request).
-Selene, your beloved daughter, has asked to be ordered to "Soothe the Night" again this turn.
-The following Fleeting Opportunities will be available this turn:
--You promised Soft Sweeps to let her do something for you. (May be performed with your "free social action". You also may choose not to pick this, and hope things end up well on their own, although you have no idea how those chips might fall. Mareinette may NOT perform this action.)
--Uncle Steppes has asked for a little more of your time, to give you a "gift". (May be performed with your "free social action". You also may choose not to pick this, in which case you will still receive a "gift" but will have no say on its details. Mareinette MAY perform this action.)
If we're going for father or criminal "victim", we need a prison.--[] You might need a place to… "store" your enemies. Alive. Dig a small prison under her house.
--[] Actually, you will need a LOT more space. Dig under Jade's house, enough room for a 3 circle ritual. (Progress 0/400. Applies Martial and Forge knowledge.)
@OurLadyOfWires how would renegotiating the Needle contract work, and would it be worth it? With Rarity's reputation as THE Dressmaker that made the Dress for PRINCESS CADANCE, Surely there's room to improve the contract, or just find someone who'd pay more and better for it?Statistically, I missed one or two things. Kindly point them out, as needed, and this post will be updated.
ok, so there's an incentive to ask for Keys now.If you ask her now, you will be able to ask her again on turn 25. If you ask her on turn X, you can ask for it again at the BEGINNING of turn X+3. The cooldown of three turns means that "Turn X, turn X+1 and turn X+2 are the cooldown period, if you ask at the beginning of turn X."
oh, I didn't notice this, shame.Hm. So even if we sell it we can't use the bits for Hill this turn.
uh. I forgot she's a close friend too now, so that is indeed an optionIf people plan to use Mareinette to social Spoiled can I suggest Leashing Cheerily instead of Filthy Rich. Last time during Mareinette visit Filthy still tried to help Tiara despite Mareinette gaslighting. Him staying near would help Tiara I think.
Yes but no.
We actually can take a second cover our bases, we have a risen, a servant, Fluttershy, a leashed close friend and for the last follower action either Selene or DoA use one of their actions.Edit: oh right, we wanted to do some scrying for books. Probably not a second cover our bases then, so there isn't much point in leashing Filthy.
We have exactly enough bits that if we drop scrying for a Forge 6 reagent and just commit to spending the bits on making it, we can afford to send three people to ruin Hill's day.Current bits: 105 (all changes for this turn were accounted for during Cherenkolt's summons)
Assaults are considered short expeditions, so he's perfectly capable of both building a prison and also helping out with the Hill Assault. It's not like he loses Forge levels by switching the lesser Lore to Moth.Cherenkolt needs to be putting his Forge levels to making damn sure the Build a Prison action succeeds if we choose to assault Hill.

Okay I'm confused on why Wrong Keys suddenly became something we want when we still have 2 that won't break till turn 24. Was there any strategy behind it?
Nah, it'd still be fine I think. Even if she's completely busy on T23 and T24, the Wrong Keys don't break until the end of T24, and they can be used on the turn they're created, so if we need to pull some out on T25 to deflect a ritual we're still all good.There's a very high chance that DoA is doing Long expeditions on turn 23 and 24, which means if we don't do it now we'll have a coverage gap since Long expeditions eat both her actions.

Question is, what combination of Names? DoA + Mareinette + Biedde seems the most obvious, but we could also put Cherenkolt into Moth Mode and do DoA + Mareinette + Cherenkolt, or do something like DoA + Mareinette + Baldomare. Maximum sneakiness would be DoA + Biedde + Moth-Cherenkolt.
Ah, guesswork and paranoia. The bread and butter of this quest.There's a very high chance that DoA is doing Long expeditions on turn 23 and 24, which means if we don't do it now we'll have a coverage gap since Long expeditions eat both her actions.
...It is really tempting to have Velvet lead, honestly. And we do have the Follower AP to let Velvet do Level Rarity (social) + Study/Study/Study/Soft FO/Assault...I am partial of DoA + Mareinette + Velvet or at least DoA + Mareinette + Baldomare as we may need Lantern to find hidden safes. But it also not something that we need to decide during Follower vote.
It also doesn't matter even if she does, because if we're getting attacked by a ritual on T25 we can just make Wrong Keys thenAh, guesswork and paranoia. The bread and butter of this quest.
I don't really think she will be doing long expeditions in 2 different turns, especially consecutive ones.
...weeeeeeelll....
No? It have absolute no meaning who leads and if you have free actions do Uncle FO or something....It is really tempting to have Velvet lead, honestly. And we do have the Follower AP to let Velvet do Level Rarity (social) + Study/Study/Study/Soft FO/Assault...
I don't think Velvet's allowed to tag along as a follower. So if we're involving Velvet in the assault, she had to lead.No? It have absolute no meaning who leads and if you have free actions do Uncle FO or something.
Good point.Nah, it'd still be fine I think. Even if she's completely busy on T23 and T24, the Wrong Keys don't break until the end of T24, and they can be used on the turn they're created, so if we need to pull some out on T25 to deflect a ritual we're still all good.
...weeeeeeelll....
I'd like to level up Rarity while she's here and not out on a commission?
Actually I think we should send the Bureau after Windy. Now that we have their loyalty secured it's safer.
And we need to do something about him!!!
Next turn. We got a hint that shit is going to happen in Tall Tale when Mareinette was dressing up as Cadance and we shouldn't ignore it.Actually I think we should send the Bureau after Windy. Now that we have their loyalty secured it's safer.
And we need to do something about him!!!

I have no problem with that. We just gotta scrounge up some time for Velvet to do that.I also really want to level up Rarity, though I'm afraid that it might get cut
I have no problem with that. We just gotta scrounge up some time for Velvet to do that.
If you are arguing we should not do Soft Sweeps action and instead raise Rarity up a bit. I will fight you tooth and nail and bring all I can to bare to prevent such a thing. That is The Wolf Daughter who we agreed to help. I'm not fan of the wolf, but I am far far less a fan of letting whatever Pandoras box of woes out by spiting that action.
Tbh, I'm currently eyeballing having DoA's second AP and Selene's previously-used-for-reagent-scrying AP go toward building that three-circle site. Even if they don't have any Forge, two 1d100+30s still provides an average of +160 progress (out of 400). Which is pretty good, and could enable us to finish it up next turn w/ Cherenkolt and some help, probably.
Especially since like. It's a 400-point project, Cherenkolt's not finishing that in a single AP on his own no matter how well he rolls.
