Given both that Biedde cannot be befriended and that this lack of friendship is now known to cause issues, I would prefer just to either let his summoning lapse or sacrifice his Wake-form for a ritual (possibly for summoning a Maid or two) and hope that the Lionsmith Name (if they're still...
[x] You will tell him that you forgive him. And deep down, you do not resent him.
[x] You will not forgive him. But deep down, you do not resent him either.
At this phase, Steppes has basically started into the face of his own mortality, and has realized that both he as an individual pony and...
For this part in particular, I think Cadance going "too far" in accord to her Love powers would probably resemble something akin to when she accidently Love-bombed everypony while teleporting to Shining, which was so strong that it almost made Velvet forgive her father before it wore off.
Just a random thought I had; if we continued on the Cultist Path instead of forming the proto-Suppression Bureau, would Beyond Reproach eventually have become a Hunter for Velvet?
I thought the Fake Lantern Witch was Jade's ghost or something, given how critiquing the names of two fillies for being unimaginative seems more in-character for her than it does for Velvet.
[X] Turns out, she just needed you to take off your dress.
[X] Turns out, she just needed some happy company!
Mainly, even if Mareinette doesn't want to (personally) do anything to Cadance's child, I still don't trust her general mindset to be healthy for Cadance to be around for extended...
We could also do one of the Winter Sacrament actions. I'm not the biggest fan morally, but it's relatively simple and (depending how powerful Sacraments turn out to be) may be worth it.
Fighting the Windigo has some risks, but it's better than accruing more suspicion or the possibility of Eclipse getting a look at it.
As for what to tell Dew, I still have to think more, but I am leaning more towards either a Warning or Advice.
[X] Plan Half Light/Half Shadow
[X] Plan mafia Uncles are Family too
[X] Plan: To Find a Gate
I'm fine with most of the options, but here are my favorite 3.
I hope we can resummon Axe next turn or something. It would really suck if the best Expedition Name was gone for the rest of the Quest.
Edit: Also, does Silky's Cutie Mark mean that she'll have the same Lore omnicompetence as Velvet when she grows up.
I interpreted this as less Twilight's status being an active threat to Velvet so much as how Omake Velvet let her self-image be tied into the idea of being a "protector" to the point that she felt forced to get a new Twilight so she wouldn't have to be reminded of her own fallibility.
Ponpon was last seen on-screen on Part 4 of Turn 20, but she was mentioned in passing this turn, so she's on Velvet's mind enough to where she would probably notice if Mareinette ate Ponpon.
This was a very interesting Omake to read, and I like the dynamic between Baldomare and Mareinette here. Also, this seems to be roughly in line with what I expected the moral consequences to be, where Velvet would devolve into seeing Ponies outside her family as objects and pawns rather than...
That's a fair point.
Speaking of, I really hope either the Memory of Light or Selene's Winter action give us a lead on how to get rid of Daybreaker. The worst case scenario for Celestia's Lantern growing once per turn makes me worried that we won't be ready for All In, and even the best case...
I just remembered we got a Moth 3 artifact from raiding Copper's Cult. While it's a bit too low level to hide our Lores, I wonder if we can (assuming it works the right way) loan it to Cadence so that we can teach her up to a Seeker level.
I would like to see what the Lionsmith-Name's counteroffer is if/when we find them, but going with Biedde's offer doesn't seem like the worst idea. Even if he isn't truly trustworthy, he seems fairly "sober" by Name standards and his parton Hour means his Sacrament isn't too likely to come with...
Velvet seems to be aware of the Therapy group to some degree, and encouraged Softy to follow her heart as to what to do with it. However, she doesn't seem aware of what it's turned into since then.
