He could just as easily be Grail for making business deals, or Morh if he tends towards shady deals that he likes to keep hidden, or Lantern if he's scrupulously honest. Heck, Money even has Knock aspect in the Exile IIRC since it can be used to open all kinds of doors.
In any fight against Celestia that isn't sudden she'd probably be heading in with at least Biedde as back up so short of consecutive nat 1s that's a win right there.
Oh, I think I definitely missed that ping. Thank you for pointing it out.
"I don't like it" is an important indicator to receive from readers. But it's not really something I can act upon. So, and I really mean it, I would be delighted if you could elaborate on it.
Well, that only came up briefly. I think we were more focused on pulling a series of smash and grabs/murder spree to destroy a criminal organization and enrich ourselves in the process.
Not untrue. And now that we have a winning plan, I think you're all gonna like Biedde's "please stay" requirementsThey owe us.
…On the one hand, when you say stuff like that, it's usually entirely sarcastic. On the other, I could see you subverting our expectation by actually making it either pretty easy, or something we were planning to do anyways. I'm half expecting it to be either actually murdering someone in a fight, or dealing with the Worms somehow.Not untrue.

Biedde is a stallion, not a mare. But good god that would kill us. I mean, the guy is both a highwayman and a soldier. A steady paycheck could legitimately be something he's interested in.
Dealing with the Worms is something all Names want so it is not likely. I can imagine all the Names we summoned partying in Velvet's home at the end when she does that and they just going "Can I live here now?" if that could get their friendship.
Those imported cigars don't come cheap you know.
Oh. I don't think a mortal is someone qualified to be even close to a Worm and Biedde has been guarding the Worm Museum for an era so he understands the danger they represent, Velvet being infected would be the most likely result and that wouldn't end well for anyone.
Mm, fair.

As long as the summoning succeeds, of course. No Edge re-roll is a bit of a bitch.
And on another note, I am honestly surprised Biedde-summoning won. I truly thought you would put it off for another turn. Maybe because scouring Canterlot would be invested in, or maybe because this "no crises" turn would have you farming something else.
Still, I'm glad we will have murder grampa!
No! NOT BITS!
To be fair it's not quite clear exactly HOW dangerous the "minor" worms in the dreamlands are.
shhhh!Mm, fair.
…Does Velvet even qualify as Cunning? I mean, she's in a kinda disgustingly high position of power with very useful connections, but that honestly happened mostly by accident.
… Ha.
Why Biedde old pal, we have such good news for you!… Ha.
"Find a way to permanently kill a Worm."
Not, mind you, actually do the killing. Just find a way for it to happen. Because, you know, getting rid of the Museum might let him turn more of his attention to the Wake, right?
There was that theory about finding him a student after all…
...
Now that you mentioned it, can Selene climb? Like, would Velvet even tell her about the Mansus and how to get there when the Ashen Wastes and the Wolf are a thing, and the other stuff in there too.
I mean, he would probably be better at it, but now we can either get an Edge Influence or send him out on the offensive instead. I'm not sure which would be better for any of those between him and Marinette, who probably ended up as the one assigned to guarding.
I would doubt it.
Forgot to post after clicking quote.
Or he looks at the Lunar Bureau and nods approvingly.
Dunno, if she thinks it a necessity to keep deal with *gestures vaguely at worm issues and almost-dawnbroken Celestia*?
Velvet shows up to the family day with Biedde in tow. "This is my great grandpa Velvet Blade."
Well there might be ways to just let her into the room the Name desires. Like an inverted summoning of sorts.
On the one hand, the Master did exactly that when he pulled the entire fucking cult into the Woods that one time. On the other hand, they were the Woods, so that might not be something any old Name can just do. And even if it is, Biedde might be the one Name who can't afford to do something like that since it would probably take a good amount of focus and effort, especially on an Alicorn. Perhaps more than he can spare, given his current duty.
And there was also the whole Moth 7, Everything else 5 the Master had, if that didn't help him then the Wolf is a cute puppy.
