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

    @OurLadyOfWires , does the whole "I See You My Enemy," thing for Worthy Opponents count as a Strange Feat, or would it fall under the combat prowess umbrella of no concerns?

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

    In any case, I think we're pretty covered martially.

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

    Windigos do get a stacking bonus based on the number of Windigos present for an action. They were definitely rolling at more than +45 for that assault.

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

    Velvet rolls +29 to Combat at Base. A Resolution brings that to +69. That is higher than a Windigo's +55. For those without Lore Levels, the absolute highest a Pony can go is +25. Being outnumbered inflicts a -5 penalty per enemy outnumbering you. Let's say we royally screw up and somehow are...

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

    I just don't want to be on the reverse end of a 7 vs 1 fight, eating -30 to your Combat Checks sucks. Though if we assume the Changelings have 0 Edge then we've still got a 39 vs a highest score of 25 in such a case... Oh wait, we have 2 Edge AotLs to pop in the worst case scenario of staring...

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

    Oh boy, I am sorely tempted to just try and go solo with Max Lores. But then I remember how brutal the Outnumbered Bonus and Malus are, and find the idea of having reinforcements at least in calling range to be worthwhile.

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

    I'm still hoping the Moth Sacrament instead just reveals to Spoiled that Mareinette, not Velvet, was her friend the entire time and she was just pretending to be Velvet to avoid making everyone panic, thus locking Velvet to acquaintance because interacting with the real deal after becoming best...

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

    Oh boy, it's time to see if this Hive Takedown was worth missing out on Steppes' get-together. Though if we find a Worthy Opponent there and thus are left with a spare AP I will have an intense desire to hunt down Steppes and smack him for vanishing in the shadow of the night. With Max Lantern...

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

    Well, as I greatly enjoy Velvet family times, I would not consider such a thing a waste of AP, because I would have enjoyed reading the scene. And honestly, had that FO included a familial get-together in its description I would have voted for it. Especially since it would have led to Pride...

    I do feel mildly bad for missing the Steppes action, but mostly because we miss out on some potential Velvet sibling bonding.

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

    Daybreaker isn't even a possessing entity, she's just a millennia of pent-up anger and frustration subjected to intense pressure-cooking in the last year. This isn't like Nightmare Moon where a Worm was hijacking things, it's all Celestia here. Mare needs therapy. And a vacation. Not for us to...

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

    But the curse on the candle snuffer is not lore-based. It's normal pony magic, which any sort of security check is going to catch. Stuff that the Bureau is meant to catch, and will lead to people asking why we didn't. As for headspace, breaking into somebody's sanctum and stealing one of their...

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

    No, we absolutely should not gift the cursed artifact to Celestia or Eclipse, because the curse is normal pony magic and will get caught immediately, leading to awkward questions as to why we gave them a cursed candle snuffer for no reason. As for stealing the Watchpony's Glass, I have no...

    Soft is never going to realize she has a cult under her, is she?

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

    If one the Wolf's primary lenses and said lens' apertures all start bending it to a new purpose, then it's effects on the world will change. If successfully used to help someone heal, then they will have shatter a central axiom of the Wolf-Divided, that nothing good ever comes from the...

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

    Seeing as how Wires talked about how Soft Sweeps might turn the Wolf into a therapy pup, this specific bit is incorrect. Velvet stopped being the only lens when she forced the Daughter into being. [X] Gift her freedom Since apparently this is the one where Velvet might actually explain things...

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

    [X] Gift her freedom [X] Gift her influence All right, I've been convinced that just chucking murder rituals to Soft Sweeps miiiiight be subpar. Plus if we really shape this cult and can set Soft Sweeps to a higher involvement level, perhaps we can ask her with help reforming the Wolf, make...

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

    For what reason Why are you assuming they will be dumping ash-ghouls on our doorstep? What need do they have for ash-ghouls? Their self-appointed purpose is to serve Soft Sweeps, does Soft Sweeps need Ash Ghouls for something? The best limiter on this cult's behavior at this point in time is...
