GM has strongly hinted that Copper has already moved out of Manehatten. And Copper has a full cult with the defences only a cult can provide jade has 50% at most of getting thou. Baldomare is certain to.
He didn't actually. He just pointed out that we are assuming things based on outdated information. There is a pretty good chance that she is still in Manehattan, but we don't actually know, and sending a full Name squad to Manehattan only to find out that the Manehattan cult relocated due to the Royal Guard scare from a few months ago would be very disappointing (and expensive).
Our leash isn't currently in use, but yes, we don't currently have access to it.
Yep, no realization powers for us right now, except for Dancing With Death. We don't actually have anyone Leashed right now though, so I don't think we have to worry about that.
I mean, you literally know the identity of the Master now. Doesn't that put all your previous interactions into perspective?@OurLadyOfWires Totally random question that you may not be able to answer for us, but what was up with this? Was it a reference to something in particular? Had we heard the whisper of the woods once before..? Or was it just the way the scene was written?
(Fond memories of speculating that the Master was… Velvet's Mom!)
Oh, we will discuss this in more details during the Velvet's Phase vote.
I hope the last update gave you a little more context on why the answer is "no"
I really want to know what they are cooking.
Very heartwarming and hopeful. I also have a Cadance interlude/scene planned for soon.
This would legitimately be an awesome narrative way to frame the mechanical effects of the Sacrament. I'd totally go for it, if we go in that direction.
In turn.
For now, I am leaning towards "no".
It didn't have any effect on the last SH Sacrament attempt thought?
Soon.
Selene's information is not outdated, because Velvet will take this "resentment" to her grave
Rarity focused on her career on turn 18, and my rule is "three months is a fashion season".
Yeahhh, really appreciate if the plans don't get too complex for discussion.
Well, for starters I'd be very happy if you got that much Glory progress this turn
Yes.
Don't forget who was implied to give the bad news, a certain pegasus with an... affinity for bad endings. If she was the one that gave the news the first time when Shining was hurt, it is even more fitting in the great narrative.
...I kind of want to do it this way now, just because this sounds so in-theme for a Moth Sacrament about masks. And we were already thinking of using Spoiled Rich for it...
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 her action we can have her craft keys this turn and get the lesson the next one.
If Baldomare and Axe were better friends and our Lores were stronger we would have more of an advantage here. If nothing else having Axe permanently rather than ever having a turn without her as a combatant is definitely useful, and Baldomare's narratively-driven help is directly useful for both Glory-/Outsider- seeking and knowing our enemies.
Don't have great odds of Heart books, we don't have actions to waste on low level of books, and a d100-10 on the outsider search ain't bad.
Think this decision comes later (even though yeah it's pretty assured)
Oh right, I stuck it in there before Bird updated and forgot to take it out
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.
I am going to put my thoughts in the most clear and terrible way I know how.
Getting friend status with a Name is a big deal. Or do you think that Names have only 1 action to give, like a regular mortal pony. Newflash Names can do much more then the barely trying level of effort they are putting into helping Velvet at the moment.
While I would prefer Mareinnete to give us an Influence to speak with people who will be visiting, if the only loss by my preference is that she speaks in Velvet's place, I am fine with this plan.
Wasn't the current strategy to wait for a turn where we could have recent information, all Names and opportunity to attack Copper completely instead of just attacking her and inviting an immediate response from her?
I know the ending that I'm authoring towards it's just very fucking difficult to get there.
I don't remember reading that sentiment, though I have been tunneling on, you know, *makes a slicing motion
That's why we're scrying this turn?
And all Names can go on the expedition, it's a short expedition so it just takes one action form the leader.
