Even normally failing the Sea would be a political FUBAR guys. We would be political pariahs.

And if we win we will be heroes for all the Sane Races of the Galaxy, and advance more than anyone in history in the destruction of Chaos.

It is not called an Extremely High-Risk High-Reward action for nothing.

...You did read the posts pointing out that we don't actually know the rewards and that at best the rewards would match the risks. We may just end up getting info that we won't even be able to use until much later that we could have gotten then anyway.

Also stop pretending that we don't have other options for helping the galaxy that we would get by other revenues. By that logic it's actually pretty selfish to risk everything on one roll when we actually have a ton of options left to us.

Wait, can Lin do a DD on slot A, year 1 (next turn) on the Eldar Pantheon while simultaneously starting the writing action in slot B?

Yes, and even if the reward is let´s say a 20% less than the risks, the reward for winning what could be a possible Game over is still incredibly MASSIVE.

And guys, Relax, as we are now we would pass with an average roll, and that is before getting any extra bonus.

Well, I am voting "no" on the Sea part. That being said, if it does win I will contribute by trying to make a decent omake to help get that +5 bonus for Lin.

The issue is that you were blatantly trying to overplay things and make it out like taking the option would be an instant win button when that is not the case. We don't know what we could be getting and for all we know we may just end up getting some info we can't even make use of until much later considering that Durin mentioned that this is the equivelent of poking the end boss while we are at a third of the way through the story.

I'm thinking we'll need Lin to do a triple down on the Lizard Trade (Both) action if we want him to try. Even with a DD the success chance is low.

Unfortunately that means that it will have to wait until next turn, since slot B is still occupied this turn. We can do a "if the vault succeeds, write" plan and get the writing over with, but since that only starts in Y4, it leaves the problem of what to do with Y3.

Everyone knows that there are no silver bullets, but that doesn´t mean that what we can gain is not massive, and since we are risking a bad end here I am pretty sure that the reward is going to be massive
