Yeaaaah, that's not happening even if true. Because we don't actually get the Grail Sacrament power next/this turn - we don't have enough scraps to hit Grail 5. By time we hit Grail 5, if ever, the husk's going to have long since served whatever purpose it could.
You mean before we saw with our very own eyeballs that Velvet simply "participating in Bureau things" can also introduce Lores to them? We could have introduced two whole Lores to the Bureau just by going all out on Tall Tale, and that was without Velvet getting really involved with things.
Considering the husk was noted as being saturated in Grail and Knock, I'd assume that studying it is most likely to result in, well. Grail and/or Knock knowledge.
Were you not just being concerned over the Bureau's Lore oomph earlier when arguing that we should be scrying the City to determine which expedition gets which artifacts? If Velvet gets her hooves dirty, then there no reason to be concerned about trying to divvy up the artifacts correctly, because she's effectively a Level 4+ artifact for everything except Heart, in terms of the bonuses added. Which means DoA also gets to throw as much of a dice bonus as our artifacts can allow at the City.
Maybe that's something a MitL could do, if we summon one and they're capable of casting rituals. And Selene delays the doom clock enough that we'd actually have time to acquire and study it. Though I'd argue we'd want to go for Heart 5 rather than "strongest possible".
Ax is shit if a Grail challenge shows up, at the very least we should send the Forge Name set to Grail so they can actually do everything. This is a Expedition for end game stuff, expect 150DC to be the norm.
You mean this?
Hmmm, we could still ask Mareinette to help so that Velvet can have 1 AP more, having Mareinette help could also give a narrative bonus.
She COULD be better, but truth is we just don't know.
