And if you really want to kill her just send Ash in. No muss, no fuss.
keep in mind we still don't know for sure how Ash works.
It's also a lot less likely to actually work considering she has the Winter Name on call, and if we're going to be spending 80 bits on trying to kill Copper again it better fucking stick this time.
not necessarily? Winter isn't good to defend against Winter, and thus far all the Names we know of could only use the same rituals we know of.
Neighnia defending Copper requires her to have such a power, like DoA's wrong keys, or Mareinette's "replace Velvet". And usually each Name seems to have only one such power (that they show to us, at least).
Except the Master, because he was THE Master and was "out of their stupor" and an actual player.
Manuscripts. You know, that massive landmine that is just begging for us to get in trouble if people keep ignoring that it's actually a rather serious problem that they're still out and about. Especially if Copper has them (looking at you, people who want to threaten her into a ceasefire).
what would Jade even
do about the Manuscripts? She can't steal them, we can't burn them at a distance with a ritual...
...
...
wait a second... what if we started developing a ritual meant to destroy items at a distance, just like we have ones that can kill or have people go crazy?
I'd say Knock + Forge. Knock to reach them, and Forge to burn them. And then we target "every manuscript Velvet wrote for the Cult of her own horn", or whatever definition would include those without including, books in our home or stuff we wrote for our jobs (present and past)
@OurLadyOfWires from past experience making the scrying ritual, how long do we think it would take us to make a ritual like this? What does Jade think about it?
Memory is also kinda useless beyond being a curiosity thing. We're locked in on Glory now after all
I still think it can be relevant, as in we can get something out of it.
Exploring the Tower of the Moon will likely lead to lore knowledge. Memory of Light will likely lead to understanding Harmony and maybe how to empower Luna or Cadance if needed.
UNLESS we think we'll kill the Outside (99% Discord) in like 3 to 4 turns, There's probably worth in doing it.
That said, Keeping Baldomare is certainly more important in the short term.
Yes, please. It feels like such a waste to throw 2 Nat 100 away like that(again) AND she can do ritual research in Velvet's place so it is not like it wouldn't work.
Seeker Jade could do it better so we should use the free social action to upgrade her lore levels.
Generally speaking we should really teach all of our confidants, it makes them more useful. Jade, Rarity, and Fluttershy.
Jade can make rituals, research the Memory, and do Scrying.
Rarity brings us money, but is also a good socialite, so she can boost or take social actions.
Fluttershy... well, she can ask Comet Feet to do stuff for us, but if we get her to Winter 3 she's likely to gain a skill or power of some sort that might be useful. We can estimate from what we'll see on Rarity Grail 3 if it's worth doing soon.
We dint even know if she is still alive or not. She got hit by two Nightmare rituals back to back.
Or maybe she found some kind of occult defense like we did! Wouldn't that be funny.
the first ritual was admittedly calibrated to... well, spook, not kill or seriously hurt. Which makes me wonder if we would have been able to tank the first attack without using a Key.
If they're actually with Copper's cult, then yeah, I could see her swiping them on the side while she's there to cause chaos. We don't actually know if they're there, though, or if e.g. Windy has them, Copper is holding on to them personally instead of keeping it in the cult proper, or some secret third option (random McCultist took them and is using them to secretly found their own cult? They were actually destroyed in the Wildhoof Club fire? Etc). Which is why I want to scry them, so we can deal with them before they become a problem.
maybe we should just scry for the manuscript, and then undertake an expedition to destroy them... I'm now at least considering it, though of course no plan can be final until we finish this turn and see if
1)Axe summon succeeds
2)Luna is fine and how she feels about us
3)How does Ash Wolf work
4)minor, but what is Rarity's grail power.
?
