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

[Limabot]

Okay, it's good that Velvet probably isn't dying from this.

I just hope that Eclipse won't get wind of what will happen here.

I really do love the name for our Cult by the way.

In other news, going back over our Secret Library:

If we spend a velvet AP and our reagent craft on Manuscripts next turn we can take the Bureau to level 3 Moth (Assuming manuscripts are written post-Sacrament)
If we spend a velvet AP and our reagent craft on Manuscripts next turn we can take the Bureau to any two of (Forge 3, Secret Histories 2, Winter 2)
If we spend a velvet AP and our reagent craft on Manuscripts next turn we can take the Bureau to level 3 Knock

If we read the level 5 Knock book AND the level 2 Knock book we can take the Bureau to level 3 Knock
If we read the level 1 Edge book we can take the Bureau to level 2 Edge
The Forge book is basically worthless
The Heart book is basically worthless

We need Lantern Sacrament to be able to bump the Bureau to level 3 Lantern in a single reagent+AP

Edge cannot hit level 3 even with sacrament+double manuscript+edge1 book, we'd be 1 point short.

If we had Heart 4 we'd be able to reach Heart 3 Library with a double manuscript. But we don't so we can't.

Grail is very far from level 3 Library, we'd need the 4 scraps plus sacrament to be able to double manuscript it.

Frankly I seriously doubt we're going to make manuscripts any time soon tbh. We have so many Sacraments to do. The method by which we will level our Secret Library is obvious: Expeditions! Get big high level books from Expeditions and we can read them to advance our own Lore and the Bureau at the same time!

Really, we don't even necessarily big high level books so much as a lot of moderately leveled (Lv 4 - 5) books. We're trying to get Sacraments, not Level 6.

Though I do still want to try and scry a Moth 7 artifact.

What do you mean by spending our reagent craft on Manuscripts? Making something to feed the Lapdog?

Feels a little tough to know when some of these lores we're not even sure their impact on the Bureau.

But hahaha this convo makes me see why Bird was amused that we cut out the cult from the cultist quest, it's nice to have something to build.

We're not even getting infrastructure bonus from the Bureau yet... but maybe 4/9 will be good enough for that sort of thing.

Heh, we've still got Reagents for Sacraments, FR Scootaloo to get Dash Confidante, FR Shining for Caddy waifu points along with saving up for rainy day FR and IH.

Just read books instead of write manuscripts.

Spoiler: Warning, large image

The rest of the pages are nigh-illegible, ink-dyed by irregular splotches of black and purple. On the largest readable fragment, these words appear: "WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?"

I am completely mentally stable and can be trusted with scissors.

Woe, omake be upon ye. I recommend reading on a computer, but in a pinch, 'open in new tab' should help. If any of the images aren't rendering properly, let me know and I'll try to fix it. Still learning how to image host on QQ vs SV.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I see only one image, 2 pages. Are there more? You said images.

There are twelve pages total, six images. If you mouse over (or long tap, on mobile) you should see alt text, 1/6, 2/6, that sort of thing.

If some of them aren't showing up for you, maybe try looking around a little more.
