Also, as a separate point, I think that talking to our parents this turn would be good. We've got to bite that bullet before the miscommunication starts spiralling too much. Additionally, Vardanis' core upset is of his parents neglecting him, socially speaking. I don't think continuing to not talk to each other apart from the occasional snipe would be particularly conducive to improvements on that front and that might start to have an effect on Vardanis' mental health. Also talking to our parents will potentially unlock ways to get Snowmane favour which could be useful - especially now that we have a political rival.

Indeed. I think e can postpone the Tethia interaction to when we get around making a gift for her father. Solving the problems with our parent's remains the largest outstanding issue we have. And it will prolly help if we inform the Heads of our House that we are gonna support Tethia and her family in the upcoming struggle, too. I am sure they would like Vardanis stepping into the political arena, like they had been pestering him to, and especially him building up ties with the reigning Prince of Chrace.

Damn, yeah I didn't think about the Temple at all. I stand by what I said for the Book of Blackfang but opening the Temple earlier would be a fantastic coup for us politically, for the potential awesome lore/knowledge in there and also, frankly, for Vardanis having a sacred place to go to. It was emphasised in the most recent update about how he felt like a bit of an odd duck for being the one Asuryan focused dude surrounded by the followers of Kurnous and occasionally Hekarti. I think it'd be good for his mental health.

True it would probably be more thematically appropriate to talk to the parents this turn. And next turn we can do gift to Thethias dad and talk to her as well as doing an action to sooth focus.
 
I edited Avelorn Remembers some, revealed what the ??? was so that there was actual reason to go for it.
 
Well, was thinking a bit more, and etched out a new plan:

Turn 6:

Mystical Azyr - 2 AP
Bits and Bobs - 2 AP
Temple - 1 AP

Turn 7:

Temple - 2 AP
Art of the Blade - 3 AP

Turn 8:

Temple - 3 AP
Arming the March/Avelorn Remembers/Gift for the Prince/Worthy Staff - 2 AP


The advantages, of course, are evident. This turn, we complete Mystical Azyr. I do not think it would be a very good idea to just leave that hanging in the middle. We also gather the materials for the crafting endeavours we face next. Finally, with 1 AP left over, we can invest it into the Temple, and bring down the cost to 5 AP. Anyway, a single floating AP is not not very useful unless we want to invest 1 AP in actions which say at least 1 AP.

Then next turn, we can complete the Art of the Blade, and now able to craft our sword properly given we are no longer short of materials. The rest 2 AP are invested in the Temple, bringing the cost down to half.

The Turn after that, we can finish off the Temple, and complete at least one of the numerous crafting actions we have gathered at this point. I know I am possibly looking a bit too far, but yeah, seems like the best distribution I can come up with.

The main issue I can see with this is that it does nothing to soothe our Focus, which is likely to lead to us being forced to spend at least 1AP on it on Turn 7 or 8.

I'd say swap the Temple AP T6&7 for Art of the Blade, and swap the Blade AP T7 for Blackfangs book. T8 stays the same, then we open the Temple T9.

That seems like a better plan, tbh

We've pretty much agreed on the plan and talking to our parents is the favored social action.

Turn 7:
Art of the Blade 2 AP
Blackfangs Books 3 AP

[] Book and the Blade

I want to talk to Tethia and do Gift for the Prince at the same time for consistency's sake.

We pretty much agreed this would be the best plan and speaking to our parents is the most popular social. But to break down the benefits it finishes up our understanding of Azyr, gets materials for future works and lets us finish Art of the Blade next turn. The social also deals with Vardanis' family issues which have just resurfaced.

I'm a bit torn on social action, but on board with the plan.
