    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    @OurLadyOfWires I know you dislike "social actions that combine multiple goals" and "planning for next turn way too early" but I was just curious as I was trying to figure out our options for getting a 3circle site next turn. If we do [HONORED GUEST] with Mareinette to try and grailbomb Spoiled...

    Man I don't think anyone else has pointed out what a beefcake Team Leader was. He's almost Shining Armor tier. Will he be a Worthy Opponent with just the first level of Edge? Because that'd be hilarious. On the subject of combat by the way I ran a simulation and Velvet with [A Resolution] at...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    I never said we'd use them directly, but that they could be a source of funneling artifacts into our faction. Which is important because there's every chance that, yes, the DC's are not based around the idea of being doable solo but requiring a team effort from Velvet, Names, and...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Incentive to send Velvet personally on expeditions instead of just sending Axe to solo them? It would make sense to nudge her in that direction. Honestly I want to spend some Selene actions searching for easy Expeditions next turn, as hopefully that will turn up some Short jaunts into the...

    I for one personally have been an extreme supporter of Biedde-Bureau interactions! Best grandpa. You can safely consider this to be so. I was very annoying talking to my friends about how much I wanted to boop the windigo snoot to my friends in the days before the post was even dropped, and...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    We might get a chance to use Commissioner actions on it though, and Commissioner actions have been a little use-impaired lately. (I will never stop being salty about investing an action into running into a brick wall with Midday Dew despite that iron being ice cold) Very funny but I don't...

    Personally I always imagined her Commissioner outfit to be a play on Thatcher's iconic blue outfit and pearl necklace, especially when she's in full Scary Commissioner mode and that was what I was imagining here. Also, Knock 5 perk when? Then we play the divine moon revelations card! It's a...

    Rereading thread discussion and decisions and dear god would I have just fired off an EiB at Velvet Hill back on turn 12 if it were up to me. I absolutely would have voted for the RA to Wolf-Word him later on if that had been offered. Man the entire fixation the thread had on the idea that the...

    Also fun fact: Velvet did exactly 100 points of damage, while the rest of the team did 95 (two of which was Paperflank's). Your choice to look at that as "Velvet did as much as the rest of the team combined" or "It's nice that both Velvet and the mooks contributed equally with neither stealing...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    All-In could easily be "Pass a CD 200 check of each lore type in sequence, then fight a dozen monsters, then fight Discord". It's the Final Dungeon and presumably balanced around the idea of having [BEFRIENDED] a bunch of Names as well as having a small army of generic summons as well as a...

    Never beating the Velvet Dagger allegations Well our faction AP has just ballooned now that Selene is fully armed and operational, and even more so if she starts summoning MITLs on turn 23. I figure we set some follower actions to finding a 3-circle site on Turn 22 and do some Study actions...

    I will admit I immediately scrolled to the bottom to check if we were dead. Now to read the update :) Ok I admit, that was a good warcry. That's a good line for any Viking warrior. Canon CS has shrines to the Wolf and wolf-cults that exist for a reason besides generic doomsday. The Moth-Dancer...

    I will admit to feeling a bit too much empathy for human twilight's isekai yearnings to the point where it feels embarrassing as I remind myself of my age. To be shown that the light of hope exists, only to be damned back to hell, with nothing but the knowledge that hope was taken away... well...

    Doing a bit of rereading and charting our early turn actions to see what we did right and wrong in hindsight. And when I came across this section with the benefit of hindsight I realized that Copper was almost certainly thinking "fucking unicorn supremacist" Man it is hilarious how absurdly...

    I believe the plan is to study the Lantern 4 artifact we have sitting around, at which point Selene becomes a Mare summoning monster. Three actions a turn, no competition for her action from "Cast a max level influence on Velvet" like Baldomare does, and her Knock and Edge 4 plus her General...

    Can Shattered Risen cast AotL's on our behalf? I'm not sure on the rules for AotL so sorry if that's a dumb question. Are we allowed to do Turn 22 "Comet digs up a body, Winter-revive, both Risens cast Edge AotL's, Velvet uses her free AotL for Edge, go into Edge Sacrament with triple AotL"...

    No, if the windigo rolls better than Velvet it gets overflow towards wounding velvet. If any of the guards roll higher than the windigo Team Velvet gains progress towards scoring a wound, but if the guards roll lower than the windigo nothing happens. If the guards roll high and Velvet rolls low...
