[X] Plan: Team Effort
-[X] Reeling the Damsel
--[X] Who is going? (Charlotte, Dismas, Delilah, 2x Dappled Wing)
--[X] Anything else? (Bring in Ava for the first part)
--[X] Anything else? (Bring in 2 Dismas's henchmen for the fight)

We will bring in the entire inner circle except Ava, since I doubt she would be useful outside the first part. We will also call on Dismas's henchmen for the fight, just in case. The first part will likely fail on the first try, and that is okay. The other parts should not give us too much trouble.

Remember, the more people we bring in, the harder it will be to cover our tracks.
 
[X] Specialists - 1 Wing
-[X] Delilah
-[X] Ava
-[X] 1x Dappled Wing
-[X] Can Dismas and/or Licit aid Indirectly using their connections

[X] Specialists - 2 Wings
-[X] Delilah
-[X] Ava
-[X] 2x Dappled Wings
-[X] Can Dismas and/or Licit aid Indirectly using their connections

We can see that Delilah has Moth and Lantern and given her connections she might give other bonuses so shes probably best to come along.
Ava has primarily Forge so she can hopefully guide us through the first challenge.
We have other people who may be able to act to help us without joining the expedition, maybe by starting a fuss that demands some PRT response on the other side of town?
To minimize the DC of the last check do we bring 1 or 2 Dappled Wings?

Somewhat unfortunate to not have Christopher, though the fact he's still on the list of contacts makes me suspect the poor bastard got whammied rather than killed. He'd probably have rather died.

Does Delilah help us too much here? if we're going to Grail the grail/moth obstacles then I don't think her moth will do much.
 
There is no need to grab generic Forge cultists when we have Ava to call upon. We definitely want the Dappled Wings for fighting purposes though, Emir is a terrible combatant and they probably outclass our generic Edge minions at this point in time.

Do we actually know if Ava is Forge though?

Edit: Apparently the Contacts were updated when I wasn't looking and yes we do.

@Witherbrine26 As far as I understand, our influence bonus will not be counted? Does it make sense to take several cultists at once, or will only one with the highest principle be tested? Do our stats affect these throws?
Can you give me an example of a theoretical roll that we would go through? For example, deciphering an ancient text in a tomb using a lantern.

You are the leader, meaning you will apply your stats and personal bonuses (which include influences) to the check. Then anybody else who is joining you will apply their lore level combined x5.

Using your example it would be something like this, assume you are bringing two cultists so the combined Lantern level is 2

[Deciphering an ancient text DC: 70]

[Roll: 56+8(Learning)+10(Lantern, Level Two) = 74]

The Influence explicitly applies to any and all rolls involving the Influence's Lore except ritual rolls, and this is not a ritual. So it should still apply.

Even if she is Forge 3 our own Forge level is zero so it is not much. And it may not even be her main Lore. Plus expedition difficulty is considered high so DC hurdles would not be easy.

In other notes I don't think that we should take cult combatants other than Dismas with us (our cult Edge level is zero)
And Wings have +25 bonus for subtility (in addition to Moth 3) so Delilah's Moth is not that useful.

Also if we want we maybe can order one of our Wings to possess someone (they have trait for it). Like one of PRT commanders or something.


[X] Plan: Forging connections
-[X] Reeling the Damsel
--[X] Who is going? ( Dismas, Ave, 1x Forge Specialists, 2x Dappled Wing)
--[X] Anything else? (Have Dismas and/or Licit aid indirectly using their connections if they can )
 
@Witherbrine26 How much does each person taken on an expedition increase the DC?
Also, does lowering the DC with characters on an expedition work? For example would Charlotte reduce DC for social events?
You don't know, that's part of the risk.
No, that's only for personal actions. They help by adding their lore.
@Witherbrine26 why is Charlotte the only one of the Inner Circle that only has a single Lore affinity?
\She just doesn't, not everybody has multiple affinities.
 
Doesn't the person with the highest Lore for a roll take charge on expeditions, if we're talking named Characters rather than generic minions? I think we're safe to only take Ava with us, no need for an extra Forge Minion to raise the final DC.
