Eh, people do other stuff during the course of their day, so just because she lives there doesn't necessarily mean she'll be there if/when an attack occurs. Bird said that summons/confidants are only guaranteed to be there if they take the guard action, so I'm going to assume it still works the same for Selene/Luna unless he specifically says otherwise.
Can she? For one we don't know if she has the secondary lore—assuming there is one—and two, I can't remember if we can have other people teach each other.We could have her teach Fluttershy about Winter
). Plus they have Edge, so one could also help with guarding the house and/or Storrmchaser if we want more firepower.
We have a 78% chance -- pretty good -- with only an Edge 3 reagent. 83% if we sacrifice the Knock Artefact. Or Luna has a 74% chance with the reagent and a WK.
It is pretty good, objectively, I'm just not sure it's good enough to spend almost our entire monthly salary on it when we'll likely have the no-doubt-expensive Frangiclave expedition coming up in the next couple of turns, plus needing to potentially scry and buy Baldomare a Level 5 book (30 + 120 bits) if we can't find one before the end of T21.
We've got Rarity income (which has hopefully taken a boost due to wedding + Grail 3), and a commission if need be. Meanwhile, Names are really really really good to have around. I think that's totally worth spending on.
but it can never die, because then the Agony would end, That is why The wolf can only cosume itself when, Glory is dark, the Forge is Cold and the Woods are dust. Because then there would be nothing left for agony.
You know, when I made that comment about the bucket of water, I was actually referencing the other waking ritual. Though that would be far less funny.
I do think it'd be worth it... if it works. My concern is that it's a lot of money to throw down the drain for nothing if it doesn't.
Some math:
If it's super-duper worth doing at 100%, I think it's probably worth doing at 78%!
"Reagent making action" as in the one that consumes AP. Because I don't think I'm willing to try summoning Biedde without having both sacrifices being used, which would mean another 45 bits.
Tbh, if nothing sets itself on fire next turn, I think I would like to read the Forge books. Not for any particularly important reason, I just don't want to run the risk of us finding a random Forge scrap somewhere and one of the Forge books becoming useless. Well, technically not entirely useless bcuz of the Secret Library, but mostly useless. And then we can also find out what's in the mystery not-Lore book!
Wait, why not? 78% is pretty good odds! Is the 15 percentage points boost (from an Edge 2 reagent, or 19% from Edge 2/Knock 1) worth 20 (or 45) bits and an action/delaying? (Hmm... if we got forge 4 we could get 87% chance this turn with an Edge 4 reagent. That's pretty good...)
Probably, but that will probably take a good amount of AP. Though I wouldn't be above getting an Incarnadescence from Marinette and rofl stomping it in a bumrush. On the other hand if we're doing that, we probably want to aim at Socialing our friends instead.Anyway, on a non-summoning related note... I kind of wonder if we get the Bureau's personal loyalty to us high enough, we can reveal the Luna thing to them without Celestia finding out? Make ourselves a bit of a (mostly) benevolent conspiracy
Bcuz of the aforementioned "that would be a lot of bits to throw down the drain for nothing during what will likely be a very bit-hungry next two or three turns if it doesn't work" thing. Like, you know, what happened with our Path Through Nightmares ritual. 80 bits down the drain for essentially no or minimum benefit, as far as we know.
The Bureau loyalty-increasing action is part of our Bureau actions, so it wouldn't eat into our regular AP. It's how we did it this turn despite almost all of our AP being consumed by Fleeting Opportunities.
Sure, but that'll still take a while. Though I can't remember, can we spend extra personal actions on that stuff if we wanted?
I do kinda want to get All-4 soon, yeah. It would be nice if we could afford to just get a Heart Influence from Marinette for the scraps, and had somewhere else to get one as well, and read the forge books to finish it off.
I don't know if Bird ever said. Probably? Shining would disapprove of our workaholic tendencies though
Hmmm, I understand this, and agree getting the Frangiclave is quite important. But we'll have 160 + an extra 100 if need be next turn for that expedition, you don't think that'll be enough?
We got that mofo a Wife. He can disapprove all he wants, it don't mean shit.I don't know if Bird ever said. Probably? Shining would disapprove of our workaholic tendencies though
Any training Selene does will take effect at the end of the turn.
I actually loves this
Aw, so we probably can't get her to summon Biedde turn 20 for maximum success chance. Sad.
Considering that I fully expect the Frangiclave expedition to be a "Hard" 3-AP expedition? And our closest point of comparison would be BtRC pt.2, which is "Intermediate" and costs 7 bits/day per person? And that, at minimum, we'll want to bring DoA and ourselves?
From the current math, her cap after she finishes training appears to be 30, yes.
