Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
yeah, they'd have to 1)Find the manuscripts 2)Recognize the hornwriting as being similar to Velvet's 3)Perform analysis to actually match it. Even so, it's not game over because presumably changelings could imitate that too... 4)After that probably even perform more checks, like verifying... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
[X] Plan: Forge Lore One -[X] You decided to start laundering some Lore-knowledge... (Lores will be picked at Velvet's discretion) --[X] [LORE-ONE] You planted something that, in its own narrow way, has some practical use. (One Lore shared, counts as "two" evidence) -[X] [FORGE-RITUAL] You... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
sorry, I'm personally committed to Velvet's Sacrament. I just find it more interesting narratively. If we had leftover APs AND the SH Reroll (or even just the influence and full health, really) up, I'd just put that extra AP on the personal Sacrament. if Mareinette managed to bring Spoiled... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
she's also the ONLY adopted-alicorn-daughter we have at least for now well, we get a discount if we go heavier on this this is tempting, but without LORE-THREE to include Forge and Grail it might be a bit pointless. Unless we just pretend the ritual "clicks" with Velvet, and she learns... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Fair. Though I'm not sure we can afford 2 follower actions on searching for books I'm willing to consider it though. Especially if we found bits in the loot They truly delight in being unhelpful! Oh, good to know. Still, full lore reveal would then be 9 pieces of evidence, which is stil... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
reminder: Velvet keeps dresses all the time EXACTLY to hide the scar, AND she has been Moth 4 since she joined the Bureau. So she's VERY GOOD at hiding her physical wound. It's also something she has ALWAYS kept under wraps for the most part, due to her trauma. So no, I don't think they... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
ok, picking from Graymere's post, let's see which plans I like... [x] Plan Basic Int Test -[x] A very vague treatise about the Mansus, and the Lores. (This will have no inherent "Lore level", but attempt to point your investigation towards the existence of the Lores) -[x] (WRITE-IN) The... -

while, ironically, leaving you able to doubt about any NON actual changeling. Which means that knowing about changelings was ACTUALLY detrimental, because you'll be paranoid about everyone EXCEPT the actual changelings! -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
we barely ever see combined casting in canon except for very high tier levels of magic, and IN THIS QUEST it was shown that the ritual to move the sun and moon actually included a (yearly?) pony sacrifice to basically convince the Sun-in-Rags to move. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
keep in mind teleportation is a high rank spell, AND long range teleportation even more so! Twilight, one of the most gifted unicorns ever, only had fairly short range teleportation in season 1 and 2. Long Range Teleportation is basically only seen from Alicorns, Discord, and that one portal... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
He's a Name. His Moth 3 is him not really trying. As for his reasons, it could be anything from "educating us, making sure we don't get in the bad habit of trusting "mercenaries", to "collecting intel for an eventual report to the Colonel" to "train us to eventually turn us against his Dyad... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
thing is, at least I personally don't care about the Bureau getting access to the Mansus. I just want to introduce the lores to them for rituals, ritual knowledge, and eventually for infrastructural bonuses. on a side note... there's been a few ideas mentioned for things we could plant. what... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
if we get that lucky sure, but I doubt it. We'd be lucky to get one level 3 heart book out of 2 searches. that makes them more likely, not a guaranteed find. And we actually don't know how MUCH more likely than the other lores. I think I asked this already, but just in case... is there... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Actually we only need 2 heart books. We can cover two scraps with an heart influence if necessary. Still keep in mind that 1)filthy rich is a merchant. He might have contacts that can get us ancient books. 2) we have no certainty we'll find the ROGHT books. We literally only can use... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
uh, now that I think about it with Mareinette about to grail the Rich couple we could have THEM get us books. and hey, maybe we'll get lucky and there was an heart book in the loot. still, we'll see. As of right now I imagine becoming her sister would include taking part in her feast. By... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
so, a reminder we dealt with the Master.. to some partial regrets. We have reached an understanding with Comet Feet. We have caused the death of Starry Dancer. This hits even harder when we remember that she probably considered us a friend, maybe even her closest (pony) friend, after the... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
hah, someone mentioned it before me 😂 That would be the ritual (which implicitly includes both 1-circle and 2-circle knowledge), Forge 2, Grail 1... we'd have to plant grail and forge knowledge as well. Then have Velvet "officially" reach Forge 3, so she could use her alchemical reagents to... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
that's foolish. it would lead to death by sun. We're beyond suspicion right now, and we want to keep it that way. 😂 the PtN one is 13072 words, so longer. SH one was 24761 words. so... yeah, not the longest. but still probably top 5, maybe even 3rd place. I'm considering leaving Grail... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
really interesting post. I feel like I should say more about it, but I'll keep it to this. There's an update to read after all, and I'm not sure I have much to add to this anyway. nice song. lyrics fit pretty well, yeah. and now, the update! It's a LONG one, and only thing I saw in advance is... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Of the 6 points I'd argue we HAD to do 1, 3, 5 and PROBABLY 6. 2 was of course a prereq. So really, I think we didn't have THAT much of a choice with Jade, except the turn we let her take a break (I think I was against it).
