I don't see it much as Catharsis, as I see it as Velvet asking Selene to step up. She accepts what Velvet did, yes. But there is something about seeing it, touching it yourself.
Besides! Velvet killed her first pony in Manhattan rescuing Twilight. Selene going there to also go after Copper's...
eh, she's a big princess. Plan for Steppes seems to be to try and get him to visit us so he'll be safe in case something happens in his city.
well, he COULD offer lodgings for the Names, I suppose. I'd rather not involve him though, just in case.
I don't see why IC Velvet would ask him for help re: Copper, considering she somehow still doesn't know that he's a crime boss.
Unless you meant like just in general, in which case I am open to suggestions?
It's embarrassing but I was going through a phase trying to create an authentic fanfiction name for myself. I've been reading fanfiction for 12 years and could never figure out a good name for myself until yesterday when I had help from a friend.
I think sending our daughter to murder someone is a bad idea. As cathartic as she might find it.
That being said. Selene and the name squad going on an adventure together sounds awesome enough on its own that I might vote for it anyway. Out of character or not.
Do we not want uncle Steppes help?
They should be, since in order for DoA to be both on the assault and the Grave, the Grave expedition would pretty much necessarily take place afterwards.
I'll add in the SH3 and Winter 1 artifacts to the assault. I don't think the Edge and Heart artifacts will be of enough use to justify...
uh, good idea actually. We'd roll at a penalty I imagine, but even a low-rank expedition would be nice, and supposedly there's an easy one around.
We might be told by Rarity, Selene or the staff about the Everfree, the castle in it, or other similar things...
Because Mareinette would ask...
Which is exactly why we need a systemic approach to the rest of the cult, and not just indiscriminate slaughter via Names. Because one can be an ongoing process, and the other cannot.
That's a fair point about the Constables not getting to the Cult until next turn at the earliest. However, I would like to point out that we currently can't tamper with any evidence the Bureau does get, and we likely won't get any additional chances after the Name attack to personally deal with...
What about the cultists?
Hmmm, i like this one, it would be a pity to leave the cultists to their devices, but i suppose that i can live with it.
I don't think that the noose is necessary but i suppose that it doesn't really hurts.
I... Forgot about the summative nature of the lores on expeditions. Hmm. Will tweak the draft plan to include those more then.
Plan: Down but Not Out, Artifact Edition
-[] [BUREAU] You will assault Copper BEFORE the Bureau picks her trail.
-[] Assault an opponent (Copper Secateur)
--[] Who is...
Agreed on the goals, disagree on the order.
Remember, we are sending in the Investigators, not the constables. So while the Investigators can find out about the cult, the funds, the numbers, the people... They won't be taking the evidence. And given that Velvet didn't, you know, sign the darn...
Used meaning "their bonus actually comes into play". E.g. if we brought the Heart artifact, but there wasn't actually a Heart check, then even though someone "used" the artifact it wasn't ever actually useful.
Would not they all be used since they would be equipped by ponies not possessing said Lores, and total Lore level being calculated as a Sum of Lores from ALL ponies?
