I originally thought I could use one for Cauldron as well but yes, that means we would use it on crafting instead.

Talking to the guy does invite him to mess with our business though, moreso than he might otherwise attempt. I'd rather not see his ugly mug for a while.
Plus not talking to him frees up an AP to get started on a splendor for Lily, which will let us finally do something with that part of the crafting system and get a feel for the benefits.
Sadly it doesn't, as bonus AP can only be used to extend other actions, not start new ones. We could switch the bonus to NeverNever security, or brother Divsimar, I guess.
I don't think we have much to worry about in regards to him messing with our operation. If nothing else, while corrupt and insane, I am fairly sure he isn't on Outsiders' side, and he would perfectly understand our desire for revenge against Sandra. Or at least would buy such a story
He's still a creepy asshole, if he doesn't bother us on this particular occasion he'll use it to justify doing something later.
Divsimar is probably a good use of the bonus AP, since he's probably going to have something to say about Molly becoming a Yama Queen.
He's a creepy asshole, but if we don't try, we get no chance of making him better. And he's likely our best bet on getting some good intelligence. Basically, if we want to do more than grab Sandra and get out, such as dealing with whatever it is Sin Eater is containing, we likely need intelligence
We have enough redemption efforts cooking, I don't think we need to try fixing this guy too.

Oh boy... I think the thread felt otherwise back then.
With Tiffany (mostly) handled, Rosie (as Molly's own redemption story) also likely to be mostly handled this month with only minor ongoing maintenance, Jade Dogs seemingly stable and self-perpetuating (plus an effort to further secure Last Station)... which ones do we have cooking? There's a very slow burn "Redeem Emma-O" plot, but it's strategic, and very slow burning. I mean, I guess you could put Maeve and Isabela into this category...
I mean, I am not too strongly attached to the option, but there's an important decision to make - do we want to go in as cleanly as possible and leave with minimum waves, or are we doing exalted stuff in the city?
It worked with Lash, time to up the ante and get to work on Broken Seeker

Tiffany is not "mostly handled".
She has existed for a week now.
I suspect she will sooner or later face issues with the semi-mortal life that can use some emotional or practical support.
I must be tempting to have power over minds and bodies of everyone around you, better stand ready when the actual temptation to use it questionable ways hits.

I'm half expecting Nico to try getting Tiffany to pick up Lashiel's coin to see what happens.

Probably nothing.
Tiffany should be completely immune to possession.
She still shouldn't take it up, for many reasons, but if she did it likely wouldn't do anything.

Ah right she's a demon and doesn't meet the criteria besides.

Yeah, handled is not how I'd describe that situation. I think giving her "parole" was the right call, but we haven't actually gotten to the clear results phase yet.
Between that, our fey plots, entanglement with the white council, and FCF stuff we have a lot on our plate right now.
Let's not forget about Lily literally losing her personality to the Mantle?
Also, I want to meet Broken Seeker just to find out his plans and how he is going to end the world. We should know what the empowered monster is doing in the dark.
Please, correct me, if I allocated AP wrong.

Bonus AP can be used to extend actions, not initiate new ones. The decision was made to prevent time progression grinding to a halt.
We gave her "several months" timeline. Personally, I think that making the thing on spring equinox would be symbolic.
And yeah, mechanically your plan works. Not sure we need to spend bonus AP on helping Lily - it's a 2 dot splendor. We could practically make those in our sleep.

Aren't "A Friend In Need" and "Cauldron Bubble" both continuations of previous actions?
In this case continuation means 'they can add to an action this turn that needs more than one progress'. This is to keep turns from ballooning too much, which sadly seems a very reasonable concern given the size of the last arc.
Lily: currently losing her memories, may experience death of personality in several months.
Molly: let's wait with this for a month or two, I want for my gift to have a symbolic meaning.
Thanks for checking! DragonParadox made an option to spend bonus AP on crafting, so maybe Molly will make something more robust.

You do since the action also involves handing it over without diplomatic incident
