We have a plan just put it in when the vote opens, people will vote for whichever one they prefer. If it wins then no need to convince, if it doesn't we'll see.
Actually we don't. We can just let Bird decide for us, as it's a "general" follower action!
I don't think the expedition site is useless because we're gathering lots of people that CAN do expeditions, so having more to do is nice.
in that case yeah, I like my plan for the most part. Basically only Rarity and Selene's training need to be "exclusive", and everything else doesn't need us worrying too much about.
Note: Velvet actually DOES know that Axe got along with her daughters I think. We found her having a small doll which I THINK Velvet knows was gifted to her by our daughters, AND it was Silky who first noticed the summon expiring and was all sad and crying about it from seeing her dragged by chains, and presumably if we mention summoning Axe again Selene might have things to say about her too.What bad impressions?
You mean the ones you only know from interludes or out-of-characters scene?
Because as far as Velvet is concerned, Axe is a foul-mouthed, unreasonable, spoiled brat who she won't let anywhere near her daughters! So of course Selene will not be present if Velvet is the one summoning Axe.
Jokes aside, leave the narrative part to me. And again, jokes aside, Velvet doesn't know about any "impressions" Axe has of her, other than what Velvet's own POV scenes allowed her.
There are ways to get what you want, but trying to push Selene into an action she's not mechanically involved is not it.
Let's be real: if she wants to come back, she can come back easily. So we'd need to make such a place more attractive to her somehow.This is definitely dubious moral reasoning, but I'd be fine voting for a plan where we send Mareinette to a foreign land (like Griffonstone, for example) or at least a city in Equestria that's not Ponyville and let her off the leash there.
Then again, Presumably Luna will not go and try to save her right now. She'll first at least complete this training, especially if we're going double(triple)-training
for the changelings, I was thinking... right now they're kind of a somewhat long term problem, but I was a bit curious (and worried) about foreign threats.
Yes, if we get a Risen then the odds for the MitL are 93%.
Isn't that suboptimal? Presumably an expedition with a T5 book is of intermediate difficulty and if so it probably has other decent rewards we want. Plus we're spending an AP regardless the only question being how many bits it cost which will probably be between 20 and 50. Better to just have it be an expedition imo.
I'm asking if it matters at all.
Agreed — an action for 6% better odds really isn't worth it.
Aren't Ursa Minors like. Larger than buildings?
Using a Torn Risen for a MitL and also for Biedde aren't exactly mutually exclusive options...
I guess we can remove one of the building walls.
Yes, but what I'm saying is that I feel pretty strongly that spending an action for 6% better odds on a MitL is not worthwhile!
Many animals in MLP kind of speak, if I remember correctly. But well, if that is the case I guess I would vote for plans where Luna can't be tasked with it then. If I don't come with one myself of course.
If it's bad narratively, Bird can always make it so e.g. Fluttershy is the one digging a body up and Selene is covering our bases. I don't think digging up a body has ever necessitated a roll on the digger's end, or at least we were never shown one, so the corpse-digging action will presumably go to whoever's most okay with doing it. @OurLadyOfWires Can you comment on this?
Ah, it's not about sapiencd, it's about how the Mansus is, from all indications, a pony thing. We're not really sure why, but the other species are largely disregarded by many of its rules for some reason.
There's the question of suspicion from what I remember, but it's been long enough since most shake ups that it shouldn't matter too much.
I think grave digging needs stealth, or at least I kind of remember it like this. Admittedly it was very long ago.
You can't tell.
One at a time.
Grave digging and desecrating tombs is, generally, something that is noticed after the fact and make ponies talk. So it would certainly fall under the "suspicious" category.
I suppose that could be true? But the way the mechanics have worked so far leads me to believe unless we're hitting a library there won't be any additional books. And last I checked libraries aren't in the business of selling fancy antique books.
I believe what she is saying is that even if we don't use the Risen for the MitL summon this turn we can just use it next turn for Biedde.
I believe there was a detection roll for digging up bodies so the action will probably go to Selene due to the Moth. Unless of course Selene would object. I suppose Fluttershy could also object in which case um...
Has that been confirmed or are people just assuming a Level 6 book will make Baldomare like Velvet more instead of giving another type of advantage?
That could also work yes.
We have been told that the conversation we had with Baldomare was a relationship progress freebie equal to giving her a Level 5 Book and were then told us that something good would happen if we give her a Level 6 book but nothing more than her summoning period getting refreshed if we "gave" her a Level 5 one again, Bird had previously marked as insightful my guess that Baldomare's friendship will require a sequential gifting of a Level 5, Level 6, and then Level 7 book, and earlier in this thread (pretty recently) Bird confirmed that the Name's friendship quests are directly related to their refresh conditions.
With Luna on board it is Royal AcquisitionThat could also work yes.
Though with what Bird said, it sounds like we just have to scry for "the location of a Level 6 book" rather than getting specific with expedition sites and such. Or maybe that was just due to how Pittauro phrased the scry criteria? Dunno. If it shows us one being sold for regular price (240 bits), we're absolutely sending someone to steal it though
Keep in mind that Risen are OUR winter Realization (lvl 3).Perhaps Fluttershy is better candidate? Especially if we use our free social to give her Winter 3 lesson. And we can give it by having her resurrect one of her dead animals or something along those lines. Then even their death would not separate her from her pets
good to know just how specific we're allowed to be.
I tend to agree, though to be fair lvl 5 books are likely to be more common, and that USUALLY means easier to reach.
Maybe we'll get pointed to the Grail 6 tapestry and we can send Mareinette to seduce it out of that noble (was he a noble? idr)
or we'll just send Biedde to steal it.Maybe we'll get pointed to the Grail 6 tapestry and we can send Mareinette to seduce it out of that noble
Nah, I think it just means we're effectively raising the Risen and then immediately sacrificing it.
I suppose. Do other people have strong arguments against it?
