Good day everyone.
"Bird, when are we learning about Ash?"
"Bird, it couldn't possibly be that those two things are related, could it?"
Well, they might not tell you directly, but I will. So those fine details really aren't on Velvet's radar right now.
Having a Sacrament doesn't mean you can teach other ponies Sacraments.
The requirements for teaching a Sacrament is literally a skill called "One who is very great".
Attaining a Sacrament doesn't make you a Very Great creature, the same way that graduating from school doesn't make you a professor.
So, unfortunately, perish the thought of having one character reach a Sacrament and then "spreading it around".
Thank you for writing it!
When a Name gives you a temporary Influence, it's like they are a little ghost following you around and buffing you. You can have an many as you want.
When you summon a 2-turn influence, it's like a cape or a gear you are putting on, and it's too cumbersome to have two at the same time. (But they last two turns, unlike a Name-given one)
And as always, he might be too busy to answer. But you can write to him whatever you want.
Still, she knows there is something very Forge-y and very Break-y there, and...
Actually, let me take a step back. You need to remember that Velvet doesn't know how to obtain the Blood of an Outsider. Knowing that killing Selene would net you that is a was-not that she never really had contact with.
She only has this vague understanding, corroborated by Baldomare, that Outsiders are a power "not from this world".
So right now, her best plan is to literally find an Outsider, and then wring him on a juicer until something usable comes out.
And given what happened in the Mansus, she thinks the best place she can find the largest juicer possible, anywhere, is where the Forge-of-Days did something.
Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. I was considering extending the moratorium a little bit, since it's a friday and I posted the update probably during the night of several timezones. But things seem to be progressing fine.
Oh, sorry for that. "Mansus-related outsidere option" costs one Mansus exploration action. So, since you already will use your free Mansus exploration for the Ashen Wastes, then you would need to spend a personal action to gain the usual two Mansus Exploration points, and then spend one of those two points on that option.
"Bird, when is Selene going to talk to her other sister, Soft Sweeps?"Also @OurLadyOfWires still no Ash info? We're starting to run out of "beginning" for the turn.
"Bird, when are we learning about Ash?"

No rerolls used on DoA. Knock was a tiny bit clutch, but passing a roll by a little is still passing.
You can't tell for sure, really. Unironically speaking, an Edge AotL might be useful.
All that matters is that Rarity will let you know if she definitely needs to succeed her roll during a turn. Just how like Jade tells you if she needs some time off.
Well, they might not tell you directly, but I will. So those fine details really aren't on Velvet's radar right now.
About this. Let me dispel a misunderstanding that I think has been building up for a while.

This was awesome! I love her already. And it was funny how she was so casually strong and dismissive about it at the same time. "Yeah, I pinned you down and you can't escape. Sure. But did you really need to have a scar?"
Thank you for writing it!
"Velvet Moon"?
What Greymere said.

Well, Level 4 Lore gives you a reroll, and they are Level 6. So they certainly have at least a Level 4 reroll, yes.
Sure. I'd appreciate a little more specificity on your wording, though, just so Steppes understands what you are asking.
And as always, he might be too busy to answer. But you can write to him whatever you want.
Well, the Forge-of-Days did a lot of breaking, and left a very big "something" in a very big crater. And the only reason Velvet didn't look at the crater was because she was too mentally overburdened to do anything more than crawl to the Tricuspid Gate and get closer to Glory.
