Our Realization says we have to establish ourself as a mentor for that. He is our equal in SH, so that makes things rather difficult.

Ah, I checked, and I thought this Grail realization tells you how to raise to only Confidante and Minion levels. Noted. Well, I doubt we'll have something to teach him anytime soon. Also, how do people think we raised relationship levels before? We didn't know exactly what they wanted.

Spending time and effort (read: actions or funds) on a Friend may upgrade them to a Close Friend.

I believe just spending time with him will be enough.

For getting him to Close Friend, sure, but I'm focused on lifting people to Confidante. And we've got Ashley lined up to be our next Confidante so should focus on that. It'd be embarrassing if she got made into a Disciple too before we got around to it.

Behold my Plan in all its greed. We take three extra actions because the town is in our pocket, our Moth Realization reduces our suspicion for taking extra actions, and there's simply no real need to be cautious at the moment. With our plethora of actions we shall gain Edge 3 via Lessons, which can only help us with training Ashley. We will go flex on the Boston Library, as every Plan here does. We keep trying to train Ashley lest someone steals that march on us. We have our Sun Spark try to get us money, because we want money and we need to see how this action works. And then we have a whopping four summons this turn, two Sun Sparks and two Dappled Wings. The Dappled Wings are going to be an Artifact gathering engine, and the Sun Sparks can grant us bountiful rerolls or, if the checkbook action turns out to be really good, an engine for funds.

Now, why am I having Emir summon the Sparks instead of the Baldomerian? It's because he's actually better at it. His Knock 3 + Piety + Intuitive gives him a personal bonus of +46 to the Knock check compared to Baldomerian's + 30; throw in the Caddre Bonus and he's only failing on a nat 1. In fact, he only fails any of the checks on a nat 1, our cadre is monstrous in the bonus it gives to everything.

Having Teresa summon a dappled wing feels like a real waste of her abilities.

Especially since I think it is... rather overly ambitious to think that we'll find more than 2 low level artifacts with our dappled wings in the time we have.

A better use would be to have her *scry* for targets for the Dappled Wing to go steal next turn. We already know their odds of finding books actually aren't great, their odds for artifacts have to be lower. The target being scried should improve things dramatically. Something like "Location and proction of Artifacts of [insert desired lores] that a Dappled Wing can retrieve"

She can scry for such things next turn, since the Dappled Wings cannot loot this turn anyways.

[Dappled Wing - Steal Books, DC: 40/60/80...]

[Roll: 43+25(Subtle) = 68]

A Dappled Wing only had to roll a 15 or higher to get a book. Even if we up the DC by 20, it still only needs a 35 on a d100 to acquire something. If it's only upped to a TN of 50, then it only needs a 25 or higher. In short, I'm pretty sure they'll rustle up more than two artifacts over 6 separate attempts at Artifact robbery even without any external help.

I'm expecting a DC of 80 for an artifact.

And I'm very confused you think it would be so easy, tbh.

That's the same DC as them finding a full-blown ritual. I really don't think a Lore 1 or Lore 2 Artifact will be that difficult to grab; I think it will be like the Book DCs, where there are multiple tiers of success.
Yes... 80 is what I think a first tier success will look like.

I believe you are either underestimating how rare artifacts are, or overestimating how rare rituals are.

I believe you are either underestimating how rare artifacts are, or overestimating how rare rituals are.

And I believe you are underestimating the difficulty in finding rituals or overestimating the difficulty in finding artifacts. Like, finding a ritual requires searching through entire collections of books for some lore-inert paper that has the right diagrams and words on it. Artifacts actually give off Lore power that one can feel.
 
3 Actions? Really?

Can't we just go 2 Actions and then delay the Summonings by a small amount?

Yes, 3 Actions. Our Moth Realization makes our actions draw less suspicion, the town is essentially in the Cult's pocket, and we're not going to be doing anything terribly egregious. At least, nothing as egregious as the 3 action turn where we saved Ashley and killed a hero.
