[X] Plan: They Have A Winter Name
So, I kind of want to attack after and I don't want to send either Selene nor Rarity to murder somepony. I am also reluctant to send Rarity to the grave tbh, as she is basically a fifth of our income... oh well.
[X] Plan Attack After
-[X][BUREAU] You will...
Plot Twist: The one carrying the Wrong Key to the expedition misplaces it and two turns from now Copper's cult also gets priority to summon her.
Why are all the plans taking it again? I would expect a couple, but this is a bit...
Even if they weren't, we have had Applejack's sister and Filthy's daughter for sleepovers at our house. It is not that weird for them to check on us, that is just being neighbourly. Though whether they feel safe letting those fillies sleep at our house anytime soon is another matter.
@OurLadyOfWires if somepony equips the SH artifact for an expedition, does Jade still gets to use it for RotT?
No, they don't. I think that they wanted to equip them for the "automatic wound to summons" property.
Iirc, book purchases are resolved before the next turn's income, sonthat would...
Axe, Mareinette and Luna all had their actions determined during the followers phase, so while they can participate in expeditions, nome can lead them this turn. Jade is the one scrying so she can't either.
I am very skeptical of our ability to use the expedition to take Neighnea's reins. That said, I demand that any plan that attemps to do so has a name that is a variation of "Plan Kicking Ass and Taking Names"
So we have 281 bits. Buying medicine costs 60 an RotT costs 30, which leaves 191.
For Copper I would like to send a Name squad (Biedde, Mareinette, Axe and Baldomare) so that is 100 bits. Their objectives would be 1- Kill Copper and 2- Destroy evidence of our previous involvement with the cult...
Isn't that an argument against using the sacrament on Spoiled Rich? Our best guess to make Filthy Rich our confidant was helping with whatever issues his marriage has, this sounds like it would lock us out of that.
Come to think about, regarding plan more heart. We are still a few scraps away from being able to do the Moth sacrament. Are we sure we want to deal with whoever she chooses for that long? We also don't know whát they would do once they turn to acquaintances after the sacrament, if they are a...
I asked about it when Biedde's sacrament first became available because it seemed fishy and OurLadyOfWires confirmed that while mechanically Biedde could do it, him calling an Influence on himself for the sacrament fight would render the point of it moot, so he wouldn't.
There are still some ponies whose reactions I want to see to the attack.
Like, take our uncle. Last he knew about us, we had led a giant operation to take down the Blueblood noble family. Then, this month, we write him a letter asking about what the nobility opinion is on us, he finds out we...
Except it makes zero difference whether we get the knock lesson this turn or the next in regards to progressing Axe's friendship and we can actually delay the hill expedition for three turns, even though that is unneeded.
My thoughts:
Axe crafts keys.
Rarity work focus
Mareinette either...
Aren't your priorities a little skewed? I think threats against our life and progress towards winning are more important that actions that can wait a turn. We can use a level five book to prolong Baldomare's stay even if it doesn't progress her friendship and since Axe's sacrament doesn't use...
As a reminder, it has a 100 Forge DC and we take a wound if we fail. While Mareinette could potentially do the ritual, it will kill us if she fails and we will never get Velvet's backstory if she succeeds (Velvet has to do it herself for us to see it)
Edit: I mean, our best odds this turn for a...
I rather we have her craft for wrong keys this turn. Even if we know there are no rituals incoming, we can't know whether there will be summons sent after us and as we don't know what defenses Copper's base has or what are Neighea's stats, we should get the keys just in case Axe becomes...
That wouldn't count as a regretable action anyways because Velvet would get a new daughter and Velvet would not regret that. It would be like Soft Sweeps 2.0 :V
