This is honestly an understatement. If we use their specializations effectively, given how widely we've stretched our grasp each Confidant or active summon we have is another Velvet action per turn.
Mhmm. I... Pretty well agree. The only thing that I feel strongly about here is, it's not going to be Pinkie.
Maybe it could have. But we're not acting then, we're acting now. With Glory in reach.
Alchemy was Velvet's realization. It's not something any Forge pony could do.
I disagree — We've just been given a ratio for how confidant actions translate to Velvet actions! It's lower than this! Look at the challenges we've had with finding effective actions for Rarity (who we mostly use for bits) and Fluttershy.
We have no idea if they really weren't all that cruel, that the Seven-Coils was cruel or at the very least apathetic in the face of his delight is pretty well established. That's mostly because of the Hours wiping out mention of them yeah but the bits we do know show contradictory info and until we get more clarification I'd be hard pressed to say either era or it's members were better than the other. Like the Tide could've loved some manner of the things the Grail does too, it is her principle that most likely became Grail after all.
Quite a few of these feel like you're adding for the sake of adding them, artificially inflating difficulty of the task in other's view.
Like this one is redundant. Yes we don't know the location of the Outsider, hence the task to find them.
Yes but we have a damn good guess that we are almost 90% sure is correct.
Again a damn good guess as to how we get it and as for it being a potential hazard? It most likely won't be both because the option to kill the sleeping Luna didn't mention anything like that and because such a condition makes no bloody sense from a gameplay perspective.
If there is an Apostle run then we'd be in an even better position, Long or Name Velvet who gets to keep all her shit? We can make the quest a leisurely stroll and still be practically guaranteed a win, any win.
A couple of things, we'd have presumably found the place before going in, it's a search objective just as actually finding the Outsider is. As for how to do it undetected?
Harder, not worse. Glory is only better in the sense of being the one we are closest to reach, the rest are just a lot more work.
Sounds like a Moth check to me. Or an expedition.
Man oh man I do not think we have the luxury of worrying about post-epilogue content.
You get what I mean.
I think what he means is that after getting the Glory we have to do an Apostle run ro become an Hour.
Oh, then I think that's also silly. Reaching the Glory is "one of the ways this quest will end." It is a Victory.
Oh for sure! I was okay not doing it this turn because given that we lacked a way of reaching 200 this turn (eg with Baldomare scrying Frangiclave) it's okay to leave it for next.
eh, he doesn't have the right mentality to join THIS specific wolf cult.
...not where my mind went at first, but it's not like you're wrong.
Very much so, yes.
In their defense, they only seem to kill their own and ONLY when they're "too far gone".
We probably want to check out the whole of the Ashen Wastes before they do. If there's something like a heirloom-tier wolf artifact, we don't want them to get it!
a good way to put it.
What do you mean, Silky's Cult is one of Velvet's greatest threats. She has devout followers, one might even call them "crusaders," she has a base of operation out of the public eye on Apple land, and from all the scenes with her we can tell she's steadily subverting all of our Names. She's already made a ton of progress with Axe.
I can't imagine it happening here. Isn't there plenty of mind control and slavery quests and stories on this forum? Mareinette herself would probably stop and take notes from some of those!
eh, it's all in how we use them.
harsh, but true.
more or less true.
That's actually really simple, if not easy. It's just going to be an expedition where we'll want to use multiple Names, not particularly different from Frangiclave one I imagine.
or followers. Baldomare specifically gets a +80 to that roll after all, and we only need 200 total progress.
I'd rather get the Sacrament first, especially if we're giving ourselves the SH Influence next turn, but we'll see
If he found out Soft Sweeps was her daughter he would be sure of it.
Not really, Bird said Soft would be fine and she is... what he didn't say was that the seed of the Daughter wouldn't benefit from having a new Brother. The thing that she will become if we keep doing Regrettable Actions has been acting since the vote for her "approach" with the support group and this was the best outcome possible since they are extremely isolated and only hurting cult members and the Daughter-to-be is only recruiting those too far gone(that made me so happy when I noticed what it means for Twilight).
I'd call that corruption, so I don't get your "not really".
Understandable, allow me to illuminate.
actually not necessarily.
You're referring to Names here — but the discussion was about mortal Confidants!
oh.
Pardon, I kinda just want to print this out and title it "Cope"
Same body, mostly same mind. Her core character traits of loyalty, dependability, and love for her family are intact. The last still causing her pain every day. Otherwise we'll have to argue that someone who after resuscitation had suffered memory loss for a specific period of time due to injury is no longer the same person they were before their brief span of death.
