In canon the Reds aren't subtle. Like at all. If they were particularly active here the people they prefer to prey upon (magic practitioners who are too weak to defend themselves but seem to taste better than normies) would be well aware of that fact. Talents talk to each other to stay safe as Cauldron shows.
I did edit my comment so it said no other practitioner but he also only interacted with it when the Warlock was still alive. And it also doesn't change the fact that unless you have the ability to open a way into the never never like that warlock did they have no way in. Without the ability to see it and with no ability to enter it because the owner isn't around to open it anymore the well is an interesting curiosity at best and something that will slowly but surely be eaten by the local nevernever over time at worst. (and that warlock definitely broke the law of enthralling another because he just absolutely mind fucked him into thinking there was a medical and a person who needed medical help in that little space it occurs to me now do illusions count.)
And? We've got names of people who interacted with the Well in some capacity. Therefore they may have useful intel, why do you think they'd know nothing relevant to our reasons for being here? Doesn't matter if none of those people can go in of their own will or not, which we have no way of even knowing without talking to them.
I don't recall us using the Crown on Mab, what did we ask for? Please let me know if you find it or if anyone else does for that matter. I really can't remember telling Lydia of the Crown and I'm looking for it.
I don't remember ever telling her in quest, but I do remember the general assumption that as a circle member we trust her with our secrets.
Yeah but this is literally our biggest and most dangerous secret and everyone has things they don't tell even their most trusted allies. Thats why there's the saying "everyone has secrets". I'm fine with it if it happened I just want to know why and when so I can reread the discussion surrounding it.
Heh. I bet her dad's reactions to the crown have been fun. He's basically the only old supernatural other than Bob* who knows, and has been a player in it for a lot longer. Bob gets it, but Arawn has practical experience with how much of a difference it could really make.
We didn't use it on Mab directly for multiple reasons, we used it on Mister because he was in the room when Harry spoke with her.
I am unsure if the death of its creator rendered the Well impossible to interact with. The timing of when Karl passed his test is unclear. We know that Johann of Cleves was disposed of by Odin before Halloween. But Karl could have interacted with the Well after that, and it's framed as if the Well can suck people in without them noticing:
That might be an automatic function of the place.
Thanks, how much essence do we have right now?
Did learning about Nora's nature count as a supernatural secret?
We could introduce Flick to american fastfood to spend the time.
What makes you think the people we are after know nothing???
We're doing a seance to ask the dead about those on this list because they can't be found online.
I am doing this for foci. I am not doing this only for foci. We learned about someone supernatural attending Harvard under an assumed name. That's useful for scouting the area in general, not just for the Well investigation. It's also valuable to have foci before we go in, in case the information is relevant for what we need to bring with us (like stuff to rescue people with, or reagents to complete the crafting of the realm).
Because the Crown gave us a list of people who have information on the Well and the Crown never lies? We already got some info on the Well that Odin didn't give us and other people on the list may be more active with the Well.
Who says he knows nothing? His goal seems to be to get us involved here, though his reasons for that are harder to pin down*. Odin is exactly the type of guy to leave a bit mystery for us to unwrap spontaneously so that our first visit becomes an engaging one, and so that we don't have as much lead time to handle it some other way.
