Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

@OurLadyOfWires was Smiles's bonus not bonusing on purpose like Biedde?

EDGE: Level 1 ( [1/1] + [3/2] )

And also the Expedition info threadmark needs to have Tall Tale go on Completed Expeditions.

The real challenge isn't even All In, it's the Malleary, which presumably requires us to be able to hit CD 120 in each Lore, while wearing Influences only from Befriended Names or a single Called Influence. That means we're stuck with either Moth or Winter as our weakness.

This is true.

Like, sure, All In presumably won't be easy, but... IF we manage to befriend all the Names we're bringing Baldomare, Axe, Mareinette, Smiles and Cherenkolt, Plus Velvet, plus probably one Risen and maybe some Mares in the Light, and I'm not excluding we might bring Rarity and/or Jade.

Malleary, on the other end... I don't remember if we can get Name influences there, though I think we can't. Other than that, we can maybe get lvl 5 to 7 artifacts to help, but that's kinda it.

mh... I wonder if we should try to scry for All In right before we go for it. the description mentions it to be dangerous, but we DO have a Baldomare extremely well suited to it...

...then again, Baldomare actions are currently extremely valuable, as we need her for the two SH Sacraments AND we might need a lantern lesson before taking her Lantern Sacrament too.

Thinking about it Celestial being out of it might be good for us, it means it prime time to steal the mirror.

That's... actually a very good point.

Mareinette is hax enough to probably get away with it too. Just talk her her way in and out.

 

[DelightedOne]

Can we PLEASE not antagonize Celestia when she is a couple of steps away from Daybreaker?

 

[Shaper47]

There's a decent chance that an intervention in taking the Watchpony's Mirror would make it a lot lot harder for Celestia to reach Lantern Mastery.

 

[Pittauro]

that mirror is going to be deep in the castle, Probably in the most guarded areas of the Eclipse quarters, we won't get it without a massacre EVEN if Celestia wasn't there.

It's just not worth it

Mareinette could probably talk her way in and out.

Get the guards to let her in, take the Mirror, then leave without hurting anypony.

60 (Social Action) + 30 (Grail 6) + 40 (Grail Influence) = 130 bonus at base

 

[Quaxotia]

[X] The Royal Apartment has become distressingly hot, to the point that even Princess Celestia's guards (ceremonial as they were) have been prohibited from approaching it. This has become the most crucial issue on Princess Cadance's agenda.

I really hope Velvet Covers doesn't forget about Biedde entirely after this turn.

Then you probably shouldn't vote for the option that will likely burn half our AP.

kind of irrelevant. Mechanically, expeditions have challenges of specific types.

If the Guards are meant to be a Moth or Edge challenge, then Grail will just not be used or be relevant. We don't get to pick the Lore we use unless that lore was already meant to be used there.

if Mareinette was able to fake being Celestia, then sure. But we know she can (or at least is willing to) fake being only us

I forgot the turn hadn't ended yet. What I was aiming to do was burn the AP next turn to settle the matter, and then not have continual costs from Bureau or whatever happens with letting Celestia loose in the Mansus.

Well she can also fake being Cadance, or a innocent maid.

So she can fake more then just her summoner.

Though that makes me wonder what kind of stuff Velvet can pull once she has her moth Sacrament.

Kinda, I'm pretty sure it depends on the context.

Like, the previous expedition Velvet was on could have had Velvet just use edge for every roll instead of avoiding fights till she could ambush the leadership.

So Mareinette could avoid the other expedition challenges by Grailing her way into being granted an exemption.
