Definitely a good point.Look if you're going to kill someone just kill them, all this Mareinette kriffery is a bad habit to get into, gives her mixed messages when we'd like to at least try to mellow her out, and sets a bad example for our sons.
For that matter we're also hoping to get on good terms with the rest of our names, and while doing their various task/quest things is the primary way to get that done, not playing akulite games would probably help too.
Though I'll point out that cannibalism is not really something most Names would be against it. They hate Alukites, but plenty of grail names and longs engage is such stuff.
Honestly I'm still not sure WHY Alukites are seen as monsters beyond monsters. It's STILL not clear what exactly changes with them after they commit the Crime of the Sky.
I'm willing to consider it, but seriously all greil options SUCK.Personally I'd rather use Copper for the Grail Sacrament, consuming the Grail cultist is amusingly ironic.
I'm hoping we somehow get a third option eventually. Maybe the grail sacrament changing due to narrative reasons... Or somehow finding another grail teacher, like in the house of the moon...
part of me wonders what could have been if we'd tried to stay closer to her.But truthfully, you don't think it is. The pony who ignored everything she owed you for that first introduction to the occult
We only tried a bit, too little too late...
Though hey, I'd argue she never really asked us for anything either!
...ok, admittedly she DID ask for help THAT one time..., the noblemare who turned her back on the cult when it needed support the most,
"Nod if you're leading a rebellion against the status quo." It takes a moment to drag your attention away from those teeth. But as soon as you do, you nod.
"Nod if you need to be stronger." The Glory shining down, that still feels so far distant to you (and undoubtedly less distant for her), catches your eye as you nod again.
"Nod if the one you fight bears scars." You… pause? Maybe she does, but you don't really know, do you? You hesitate, and the predator in front of you snorts a laugh.
"She does. I can smell it on you."
It's a perfect setup, really. And Selene is such a nicely big secret of betrayal...
...I REMEMBER THAT QUOTE!I came across this quote buried deep in the SV thread:
That quote is from the discussion of the Changeling assault! And who would "her" be but the Name of a power whose very essence is "Rebelling against a terrifyingly strong master"?
How could we forget it?!
yeah, hopefully she hasn't met that Name yet, and we can stop her before they meet
Who knows, maybe it's even possible to bring a truce to the Corrivalry. We've done weirder.
That's so BAD
The seventh may not be touched by any colt who has reached the age of maturity," "the seventh must be treated with the utmost respect," "it is forbidden to speak, within earshot of the seventh, that the statue itself is not shaped like a wolf."
Velvet is of course very protective of her lonely wolf-daughter's feelings
I'd say Index, unless it's somehow possible to add new categories?About this, honest question. I haven't threadmarked this yet because I am not sure what place is the best to put it. We only have "Threadmarks" for the main story, and then "Extras" and "Index". I really don't know which of the latter two would be less inconvenient.
well, another saying is that the best way to destroy an enemy is by making them a friend.Never do your enemy a small injury. We seem intent on driving her into a corner without stopping to consider what Grail-tinged mutually-assured destruction might look like.
Examine her, evaluate her, plan and execute a strike that renders her harmless one way or another. Don't half-ass it like we did with the Changelings, don't give her a chance to do something vindictive out of hopeless spite.
I doubt it's a popular or easy option, but it's still there.
how would we know if he did?You'd think, but at the same time Windy never found the Garden or the Tower despite spending a ton of time in the Blank Plains. I also kind of doubt that NPCs would have access to Regrettable Actions? But I may be wrong on that.
For all we know he got to the tower and could do nothing about it.
It's LESS likely that he kept the mares secret, but it's not impossible. and of course he might have found them AFTER leaving.
It suggested to me the not altogether pleasant thought that Velvet's sons might resemble her more and more as she resembles them, with the particularly nasty thought that by the time the penultimate son came about Velvet might pass him going the other way morally speaking.
Now wouldn't that be "fun"?
horrifying is a better word
