I agree using him for grave robbing was a sad day. I definitely don't want to gamble we'll have no decent use for him over the next three turns.
If you're talking about the religious action I'm leery of it, especially since his recent actions, but I do agree the bits situation is poor.
Wait, when was this?
It's the AP cost, really. Wait, does teaching her also use up her follower action?
Wdym? Mareinette doing Spoiled's social for us has nothing to do with the Grail Sacrament.
Eh, Mareinette preparing Spoiled to be Mothed and then consumed for Grail Sacrament was idea that was floated recently. Even without such extremities Velvet not seriously interacting with Spoiled even once tell certain things about her mentality. Like had she even heard in character anything bad about Spoiled? For her she can as well be a random pony from street.
If so Luna can cover Velvet's base normally. Or Rarity money making can be sacrificed I guess.
I mean when the choice is between permanently gaslighting Filthy Rich via Mareinette and temporary via Leash more moral option should be obvious.
We only need to rise Spoiled to a Good Friend. Leashing her next turn would immediately bring her into Sacrament range. QM allowed using Leash for it and to use it early in turn. And again Mareinette is permanent effect while Leash is not, although it may not matter much in Spoiled case.
1) The problem with the Church is not necessarily the risk in and of itself, it's the consequences of failure. Failing at the Edge Sacrament just means Wounds, which are annoying but easily remedied. Failing at the Church risks losing Lore scraps, which are a hell of a lot more valuable, especially if we lose them from the Lore that's already struggling to keep up.
1) We don't have much time left. If people are not willing to commit to Heart study I propose we just abandon idea of going for lvl 4 Heart. Certainly saves us time. In fact if we can't get Name lessons through our own AP then it does not seems doable at all. We can forget about Heart 4 and maybe try Church for rewards and possible info on Mareinette.
misleading truth at best. If we go for the zero bit option we're giving him freedom to do even MORE stuff behind our back (RELIGIOUS stuff).
This is another reason NOT to give him up, admittedly.
We could still bring her if we had the tier 4 Grail influence active at the time, to be fair.
he means the blackmail potential uses. if we went all bits it was 500+300+100 = 900 bits, instead we went for a mix of I think actions and bureau reputation (by having the criminals arrested)
it's not really as decided as you make it sound.
Especially as we can always give Velvet a grail influence while she does it, and benefit for other actions too, though it being worth it depends on her other actions.
I think WE have to do the ritual. And really, I'm unwilling to have someone else do it in case it affects the result narratively.
Huh. I always thought that we just can't spare Velvet's actions on it. Well spending three Mareinette action is too high of a price for lvl 4 and we Wolfed location most likely to give us heart scraps. I guess if people want to scry for Heart 5 book at some point we can do it in some distant future.
Wait, do you mean when we met her? Because there was a vote for what we would lose(besides half of the Influence) and the choices were 3 Grail Scraps or a Wound(the Wound unsurprisingly won).
That is the reason we danced with death on turn 20 in the first place, if it wasn't for that it would have been a relatively normal turn. The worst part is that we were warned not to go there.
my bad, I forgot we lost a heart scrap there
I believe making a prison is a Forge check, and he may be disinclined to take such actions.
Hilarious. I love the image!
I doubt he'd mind. Biedde doesn't strike me as the prideful sort.
Yay! But I'm also scared of what you consider a "short something"(I think that is what you used to talk about the Master's surprise visit in turn 18).
Huh. Might as well start on this already.
Softy is a definite yes for me.
