What Bird said before was "Because mechanically, the target of your personal Moth Sacrament would simply stop interacting with you and become a non-factor in the quest."
Is there a particular extra action that Velvet can be useful at without lores? Are we looking for an extra social here?
We'll cross that bridge when (and if) we get there.
No.
I fail to see how that would impact the current vote (attack narrative and Mareinette boon)
)I think it might be worth asking @OurLadyOfWires; we won't really know how they think about it otherwise. But I think there are many ways it could be handwaved away. Selene perhaps has some other moth-form she could use, although it might be annoying for her to have to fight as a non-alicorn. Or she might sneakily assassinate some attackers rather than overtly fighting. "Don't reveal yourself too early" is definitely on her mind already. And I mean, we could also worry a similar amount about the Bureau agents noticing Biedde is way better at fighting than any mortal should be.
Your family (namely Stormchaser) is leveled up enough, and close to you frequently enough, to feel an incoming attack. So even in this state you will have an early, beginning-of-turn warning for you to plan around.
Most of the time I prefer that narrative trump over mechanics. But this is one of the points where-
-I won't make it a problem. Selene went through all the trouble to have this as her Moth realization, so "Selene being ousted as Luna" isn't really something that is on my books. Unless you, or her, actively decide to reveal her identity.
Let's get to the Glory before we worry about what comes after. I really don't think we should be thinking about that all, or letting it affect our decision making.
This sounds like our reasoning back when the Master asked us to pass the Branding Door. Once we pass a Door we immediately have to deal with the fact that we've passed it, which means different things for different Doors.
Huh. I think that what happens after the Tricuspid gate is that the game is over, and we get a narrative epilogue. With choices to be made.
. And to be sure, I would be sad to see this Quest come to an end. But I can't imagine it going any other way.
Well, I'd worry a BIt about what comes after, in the sense that if say we're found out by Daybreaker right AFTER tricuspid, we're still probably dead unless we become an Hour, which is not guaranteed

From a mechanical PoV, there are four ways the Quest ends in not-defeat, and I'm pretty sure attaining the Glory is one of them.
From a narrative, PoV, man, how do we go from breaking a lock that's stood for eras and attaining the goal of everyone who has ever climbed the Mansus to… anything else?
Sure we don't know any of this for sure. And I know @Pittauro has some great Hopium about us becoming a Long
Last turn it was impossible to get Velvet's personal Sacrament and we hadn't summoned Biedde yet so his also wasn't an option.
You forget who you're talking to...
...ok, you didn't forget it.
We rolled 5, and he rolled 91, and it was STILL really close!
