Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I mean, her parents LITERALLY asked us to take care of Luna, so there's that too. Also how we opposed the cult on moral principles rather than JUST because we wished for Glory. But she'd have no way to realize that. From the outside, you quite literally can't tell. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Good point. If we're going to scry, we should give it our best effort. THAT SAID, rather than lose the MitL which we could bring to the expedition, maybe we could just... make a lantern 4 reagent and use that? 10 less points, but we get to bring the summon with us instead of sacrificing it. We... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
fair point on Frangiclave, but I think the understanding of Mansus vs Wake is that we can't scry anything we reach through the Dream. which includes Crossroads and Woods/Ash Wastelands. ...That said, now that I think about it, it was implied that the EQG world was SORT of in the dreamworld, I... -

Threadmarks: Vote closed12050 the proper Tally. Mareinette is in. and with this, we FINALLY close that discussion for good. Also, we're giving a read to the Hive book, meaning if/when we get more loot to study maybe we'll finish it as part of a study action. who knows.- Threadmarks

Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
we don't even know IF we get to use a reroll there. and there's a difference between "one extra dice" (if that' s how it works) and "reroll the lowest". Low roll can have worse consequences than wouldn't be made up for by an extra mediocre roll. In some cases rerolls are just better. We don't... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I'd accept any 4 or 5 actions (Velvet + mareinette). I MIGHT possibly be convinced to go with 3, but I'm leaning 4 or more, it's just THAT important. You have literally no reason to be that confident. I expect there's a chance for success at 1 action, and there's a better chance for each... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I think I'd be fine cutting down to 4, though it's definitely subjective. We can't exactly estimate the risk level. I think no amount of action will give us an auto-success, except maybe full turn commitment, so basically the more we do the better. Who knows, maybe with more actions we'll get... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I know it's a bit late, but I'm going to ask: Should we consider scrying for Neighnia? Next two turns we might have the time for her, in theory, depending on how things go with Celestia. If we scried her now, and got her on turn 24, we might be able to rush Winter Sacrament and/or Neighnia... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Ignoring how likely it is it would be there, we can only scry things in the Wake. Otherwise we would have definitely scried the mansus expeditions to know which influences to bring on them. Kind of irrelevant, Baldomare's actions are too valuable to use on getting another temporary summoning... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
She COULD be better, but truth is we just don't know. She has really high bonuses after all. But it's possible that, for example, our help mechanically adds up to "Cadance gets more free time, giving her +X per AP invested to defusing Celestia". we just, as often is, don't know. [X] (ALL... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
It would be endearing if it wasn't from such a terrifyingly horrible being... Well,that's a bit disappointing, but we'll make do. I kind of dislike the idea of using the bureau for expeditions and potentially losing loot, but I can live with that as long as we ensure we get the forge and... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I know that. It's Shaper that doesn't believe me. I think it should in theory be possible IF we finish the first expedition quickly enough... but then again, it's extremely unlikely for us to have one start on day 1 and the other on day 15 of the month. There's a need to spend a few days... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
he never explicitly said she gets 1 level per turn. That's just the worst case scenario. We don't know how LIKELY of a scenario it is, but SO FAR she's gained one level per turn up to lvl 3, and while it's a reasonable assumption that she'll find it harder to gain lvl 4-5-6, we can't be sure... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Or, as I put it before, you need X^2 levels worth of books to reach level X. So. For example, from level 2 to 3 you need 3^2 = 9 levels of books, which could be 3 lvl3 books, or 9 lvl1 books, or anything in between. That's just ONE example of how Velvet's rules are not applied universally to... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
oh, I have basically zero hope of us getting to the "Moon" and beyond before All In. MAYBE there's a small chance of Tower only at best, as it's a single mansus point, we get one per turn for free, and we ARE About to get the SH Sacraments anyway. Even then that's mostly if we get one more turn...
