Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Axe was "the daughter of another, before she did what she did". She was a daughter of the Mother of Ants and then changed allegiances (and presumably changed her name) to the Horned Axe after some kerfluffle eras ago that we don't know the specifics of. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Was rereading a bit because I always loved this scene and realized that holy shit our QM is absolutely going to do a callback to this during the Dinner, seeing as we've already tasted the fruits of Grail and its lushness like a baby bird being fed pre-chewed food. It'll be really funny if the... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Oh hey lmao, I was backreading the ancient texts for a bit and came across this quote. Sneaky QM seeding foreshadowing. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I do! I'm pretty sure that QM was just teasing me. Was just explaining why I believed it would be net positive and that it would be sad if it wasn't. I really do look forward to Mare Administrator finally getting used after literally years. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
It'll be sad if our literal first and only time using Mare Administrator for its intended purpose, when we've never actually gotten to use it before as a bonus to an admin roll, is for a trap roll where the QM goes "gotcha, sucker. This was an objective mistake to attempt at all!" I was looking... -

Things that are net positive are net positive. Cadance has to roll a dice no matter what, so taking a roll that is more likely to give her a buff than a malus makes her overall less likely to fail. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
@OurLadyOfWires I thought you might enjoy knowing that I did not actually know what carmine pigment was made of until I read this update. I was suitably creeped out. In other news: update reactions The Harmony hivemind thing Cadance and Shining have going on is super fucking creepy holy shit... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
There's a very small but real sliver of possibility space where Cadance fails her roll but Selene stops being hated by the dice and nat100s her Soothe roll this turn and I'm incredibly curious what would happen if that occurs. Or even funnier, Cadance fails her roll for "-1 Celestia Reaction"... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Sounds like we rolled "average/nothing happens" for Ruling Equestria and birb isnt letting us see the actual roll used? I admit, I'm terrified of what's coming. Into the fire we fly. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Those were non-canon test rolls for the QM to get used to the controls. The roll hasn't happened yet. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Your options are civil asset forfeiture abuse or sending our boys in blue to die in a foreign sandpit for Neightheon. Plutonium is expensive. -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Smiles killing ponies he decides to is part of his "Behind the scenes actions" that gives him +1 Smiles Progress per turn in the wake. It has absolutely jack diddly squat to do with what we asked him for for his AP. He just happened to multitask with what he was already doing. The only way to... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
I only feel slightly upstaged that reverse crime of the sky was shot down in large part because of fears about "muh canterlot nobles! this will cause consequences!" only for Smiles to casually violate Rule 8 anyway. @OurLadyOfWires Sorry for doing a repeated ping but it's been a while and I was... -

Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
@OurLadyOfWires What about our Secret Histories 3 artifact? Will it be providing its Research Bonus to Jade's roll and/or the Bureau Autopsy roll? And would those happen without being exclusive with bringing it on the expedition? Because if we have to choose I might want to assign the Shartifact... -

Damnit I didn't want bits, I was hoping that we'd get to dip into the royal archives like when we had the option for "[] "What do you mean you want a traditional wedding? Cadance, you are literally writing tradition right now. You are a Princess for-…! Alright, fine, I'll check the Royal... -

Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Yeah but Personal SH seems like it has a decent chance of being useful in the Malleary, so I think it's a good use of AP. Personal Forge and Personal SH are my top two sacraments that I think might be useful in the Malleary for their traits: our Lantern options are almost certain to be useless... -
Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience
Minimum Viable All In is at end of turn 24, having befriended Mareinette, Baldomare, Cherry, and Smiles. End of turn 25 would be very nice though, as it would let us get both SH sacraments and possibly Personal Forge. The thread is once again systemically underestimating the dangers of the High... -
