Only the leader matters and even then not that much as that only locks them into the action, it does not lock them out of others, for short expeditions which both the Grave and Assault are. Grave Send Ax and Selene. Baldamare should be scrying Copper so we get everything. Assult Lead Biedde...
In my opinion, if we are sending Mareinette and Axe to attack Copper, there's not really much of a point to Rarity being there (since the former has better Grail, and the latter's Knock would likely override Rarity's meager Forge power). I think sending her to the Grave would be a more sensible...
It absolutely does! Thank you! And the Fascination mechanic also immensely helps. I’ll get these copies over and possibly tweak them. I’m planning to use different stats than these, so it’ll have some slightly different specifics and such.
Thank you so much!

Director Emily Piggot, PRT ENE
As the clock ticked over to five, Emily sighed and closed her laptop down. She was starting to...
we can't afford to go beyond the expected 5 days, because If I remember right once it reaches 6 days it becomes medium length and starts consuming follower actions as well as the leader's.
so 60 bits to heal, 50 on grave, and that leaves us enough forup to 6 followers on the Copper Attack (of...
Yeah -- BtRC Pt 1 had 3 checks (DC 75/60/80), completed in 3 days, and refunded the remainder. I think if DoA goes on another Short expedition, and we have Rarity covering her social failings (and maybe equipped with some artefacts), we should have alright odds?
@OurLadyOfWires Sorry, one other question I edited in a little too late: Does Selene's Moth realization mean she can go on the attack expedition without showing off Luna to the world?
(Personally, I'm not big on sending Selene, feels a little risky to possibly reveal her to Neighnea, and...
If Comet leads, sending him, Biedde, Mareinette, Baldomare, Axe, and Selene would be six ponies with a cost somewhere around 150 bits (if the assault lasts the expected 5 days). I'm also seeing the combination of Rarity lead + DoA being brought up for the Grave expedition, which is another 50 on...
I am very skeptical of our ability to use the expedition to take Neighnea's reins. That said, I demand that any plan that attemps to do so has a name that is a variation of "Plan Kicking Ass and Taking Names"
YES. YES. A THOUSAND TIMES YES.
Baldomare + Biedde + Servants gets us to 89% chance of success on the Outsider search. Which feels meaningfully more certain than the 78% of Baldomare + Rarity + Servants. And getting it figured out this turn means we can start figuring out what we'll need for the...
First of all, that is absolutely delightful. I hope you all have fun! And I am glad this story might have some impact on that.
Secondly, sure! There is the aspect of me wanting to "reveal" Dread only when it happens. But to be honest, it's not like you guys "choose" to receive Dread. It's the...
Neighnia is the priority Copper is secondary. The worse thing that could happen is Copper death while leaving Neighnia free in the wake. Name opponents are much much worse then simple mortals.
So we have 281 bits. Buying medicine costs 60 an RotT costs 30, which leaves 191.
For Copper I would like to send a Name squad (Biedde, Mareinette, Axe and Baldomare) so that is 100 bits. Their objectives would be 1- Kill Copper and 2- Destroy evidence of our previous involvement with the cult...
so the mansion FINALLY looks the part of the Name Hotel?!
I'm not sure Velvet has enough lucidity to plan like that.
She's probably just fed up with Copper.
Mareinette as a nurse... I never thought we'd get to that point...
damn she was REALLY out of it.
Dancing with Death is no joke. the...
@OurLadyOfWires
A few questions:
1) Can we subdivide expedition priority? Like after killing Copper, we want Mareinette on scouting Neighnea, Comet on looting, DoA/Baldomare on locating/destroying our manuscripts? Or is that the point at which the Names say "Hey, mostly-dead pony, don't try to...
I know the fics aren't 100% faithful to the game. But as I said, what worries me is how it will negatively affect the story of Only Human.
And I know that several things in the game are changed in OH for reasons of logic such as power levels and certain events.
Plus I imagine Red Shoes cursing...
