Yeah, this is a fun question to ponder on. I wrote few Apocrypha wondering if it was Menhit but we got a "He" when Biedde chatted with Baldomare so doesn't look like she's the Edge name, or the Forge/Edge name.
I didn't get to commenting when that last update actually came out, but reading it made me want to kill it with fire
just due to being scared of it getting out of hoof and wanting fewer competing lore-equipped factions (although that ship has mostly sailed). Grimdark: Since it's our own daughter leading the not-cult and potentially eventually being a danger, in a way the relationship that the Master wanted with Cadance happened between us and Soft Sweeps.
Nothing to really vote on. The differences between plans are minor and cosmetic, hidden in chaff. All of the plans are essentially "1. scry-and-die with your best 2. loot unrelated stuff with leftovers 3. mc is almost dead and useless now, so she does previously neglected socials" with somewhat different wording.
Eh, that's kinda makes the most sense. If Name-powered scrying and searching won't be able to uncover enough data for the attack, then mundane investigation won't be effective enough to matter either.
She is the enemy, she has the means, she has the motive, she is mortal.
That does assume Biedde's dyad partner is the Forge Name, though, and not just a plot device for Bird to pull out later. Which it may or may not.
Didn't the Cult subvert the Local Guard? That might mean something if Velvet remembers it.
Extremely unlikely.
From my understanding Master's lores being higher was just to show he was more serious.
Not a small price. NEVER a small price.
I probably would too.
Just as a reminder, it's JADE that's scrying this turn, not Baldomare.
I wasn't talking about tactical decisions (like "do it gently, please" or "use Grail-suck on Copper" written out in some of the plans). These are exactly the player-uncontrolled details that get determined by dice and QM writing.
Huh, seems like dicey and near pointless minmaxing. Outsider search is a flat progress action, likely followed by a ton of subsequent non-immediate hurdles. While the scrying ritual both explicitly has success thresholds and its results are important for crucial imminent action. So prioritizing the former over the latter looks unwise to me. But such was the players' choice.
I imagine we'd go basically in order of
Well, Winter Long can't be killed, but they can be damaged pretty hard. Coseley is not really all there when met in BoH. That's rumored to be the result of an Apostle run from CS.
I'm calling it now: Selene will reveal herself to Copper just before she is killed by one of the Names(or maybe she will do it herself, she does have a Winter Realization to reach), taunt her and maybe make a speech that has something like "that's what happens when you hurt my family" in it.
An addition to her training i'm guessing myself.
good guess. Narratively speaking searching her dreams is an obvious way to find out about her location, resources and/or plans.
