Tbh, I still think we should consider going after the Bureau. Having a lot better information might mean skipping a day of info-gathering which then allows us more time to achieve our goals. We might have some messiness later on, but it makes us need to do less work following up on the assault.

I'm in complete agreement with these plans, and I appreciate the well-defined objectives. I have no preference for the Velvet actions since no matter what, they won't be too useful.
I will also vote for these since they're so...
I feel pretty confident in Jade's scrying + Baldomare Lantern + Mareinette Grail to find everything we need. I don't know if interrogating Copper is too risky. We could potentially throw in a sentence "Only attempt to interrogate Copper if the risks are minimal and we are unable to locate the...
Taking down Copper AND securing our Main Quest? Don't mind if I do. The rest is based on Leave No Trace.

I think we should bring the Heart artefact on the Grave expedition. It's a grave~Winter (subverted by Heart) and a long way, feels like a decent chance that there'll be a Heart check, and we don't need it for healing this turn.

@OurLadyOfWires
1) Can we take an artefact on both expeditions this turn? I know we can reuse them within a turn usually, not sure if that's true of expeditions as well.
2) Can we do Memory of Light research this turn?
We got a glimpse of Copper's modus operandi with the Hulking Fellow who came after us, she seems to play things pretty close to the chest and that influence he was carrying was presumedly the best she could do considering she was aiming at us. If we take her out in a particularly sudden manner...

Moratorium is over. Open fire!
@Greymere "Plan Leave No Trace" is your variant exactly. (Let me know if you want any edits to it.) To summarize, we try to eliminate Copper as stealthily and leaving as little evidence as possible, whether through making it look like she tucked tail and ran, or...
@Sveta08 I'll throw an approval vote your way at least. But would you be willing to specifically mention evidence that could compromise Velvet in this section? Just in case.
are you talking about Valley?

I've advocated before for talking to Mayor Mare. Ponyville is expanding and the Mayor is the pony in charge. There's a reason the original cult had Starry get involved with the Mayor. It opens up information locally and to an extent nationally, at least from a different perspective. Velvet has...
