Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Being able to act instead of being trapped. Those without freedom seek it. Besides she could always then Celestia's care for Velvet against her. I think your greatly overestimating the chance of that here. If anything the lack of a level 7 lantern artifact on her mind will make the chance... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Well idea was blaming this on the Changelings so that's not really a valid concern. It has a decent chance of extending our deadline. Celestia might not even be able to reach Lantern Mastery without the Mirror. Also it gives a massive boost to our scrying actions and would let us sell our... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
It's kinda like mashing two of the last Master options together. Basically Velvet first gets possessed by Daybreaker. (Something like Velvet giving Celestia a lap pillow and subtly putting Celestia to sleep so Daybreaker can speak/act. Leave an open door and Daybreaker can jump bodies to a... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
??? That's not how it works, summons are minions if Velvet tells them not to invite anypony past the Blank Door they don't kill anypony. Some collateral damage yes, a carpet of dead ponies no. Just an airdrop attack that only involves Celestia. Also, deliberately sabotaging Velvet in order... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Because Velvet isn't a magical researcher and is a busy mare with stuff to do and just noticed that it had the stuff (Winter) that Eclipse/Celestia was looking for? Even if the find the curse it's not like they have equivalent artifacts so they'll probably use it anyway. Besides it wouldn't... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
It kinda depends on how much they know of the lores and how much they know that we know of the lores. Basically it's Velvet's 'How did you get here?' trait being put into effect The Bureau does have the lores (not sure how much Celestia/Eclipse knows about that though), Cadence has the basics... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I also forgot probable medicine costs (quickly add that in) but yeah befriending our Forge Name first is probably better given our financial state. I kinda want to gift the Winter artifact to Celestia/Eclipse, might even get some bits from them as reimbursement or at least use it as an excuse... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
??? I fail to understand how you fail to understand that it's both. We need to do are best to succeed on both expeditions. Which means instead of going in half fast and probably failing anyways on both expeditions wasting a ton of ap and bits just prioritize one must succeed expedition at a... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Right wrong ritual, is actually 30 bits cheaper then I thought. Still just misses the amount we'll probably need though. ??? Where's Biedde coming from? I suggested that we'll probably need to send Baldomare. Your underestimating the difficulty of the expedition here by a lot. Because... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Let's do the Math. Current bits turn 22: 105 - 60 (rituals) + 200 (auto escape artifact sold) = 245 bits (have we paid Biedde already? I think we have?) Turn 23: 160 (Salary) + 245 (carryover) + 150? (commission + contract) - 60 (Biedde wastage) - 30 (Medicine) = 465 If the Forge Reagent... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
We don't have the bits for a long expedition for multiple Names given your instance on wasting any chance of us gaining bits all the time. We'd need at least 360 bits for a long expedition to go after a level 7 book. Baldomare, Axe and Mareinette at very least. Which runs counter to our... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
For we know the Dept collection could contain hints to the unbound Name. (Very likely if they were a former cultist) Hell it might even be Windy. Whatever is involved though Copper thought it was worthwhile which means it's probably pretty valuable. Look, given Celestia's Celestianess... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I'm pretty sure Jade only gets one ap a turn and well, we're on the Glory ending run. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Just send our Shattered Risen, Jade and Comet as the leaders. They're short expeditions afterall. Axe is still free if her AP is needed on the Forge Reagent expedition. Besides we don't have bits or the ap for any long expeditions at the moment. Also Filthy Rich and Servants can cover our... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I was thinking for the gang assault expedition. Biedde's good at intimidation and if there's a fight he can handle it. Keep in mind we've seen Risen commit prep before though. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I wish that were possible or at least dumping it on Velvet's trusted friend Mareinette but I heavily doubt we're allowed to do that. I'm pretty sure this is more like our deal with Comet. Not something we're allowed to cheat on. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Huh, so it is. It's probably still less trust then just teaching the rituals but at least it's something. Still probably the second least trusting of all option though. Anyways, I still don't think we have the ap to spare for this sort of thing. Sigh, I always though if we were going to be... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
As far as I'm aware though instructions and training are not really included in the Freedom option though? Tools gives training, Inspiration gives instruction, Influence gives responsibility and Freedom gives, well, freedom. Only Freedom involves not teaching Soft anything new or preparing her... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Via the actions of Velvet Covers. Besides I still don't see how that would have the cult effect the wolf as you have stated? It is however the one that has Velvet show the least amount of trust in Soft Sweeps. Even ignoring all the mechanical downsides (which are massive). If you wanted... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
That's a completely different situation. There's a big difference between trusting our daughter and the Master acting without the vital information we had kept secret from her. The Wendigos were used to attack Changelings anyway it was only due to all other paths seeming to have failed along...
