[X] Destroy everything. Ruin as much of the Crone's village as possible, force her out of hiding!
Can I just mention that we just birthed a mini-me, since nobody is remarking on it? (EDIT: Except @Captain Spatula, who 
ed me)
They've got:
Lesser Spirit of the Sea (water - our origin)
Moon (grants action to boost water/astrology/trickery, causes weird)
Silver Moon (grants actions to strongly alter Astrology Actions)
Capricious One (just like mommy)
Nox Arcana (our freaking ascension).
Isn't it great that we went for this instead of Minor Spirit of the Sea + Classical Element - Water + 1x random?

Punishment damage is a Lure roll
45+18(Trickery) = 63, Good Success
So unbuffed Lures do:
Minor Success - Negligible damage, we kill a few dudes who aren't important in the grand scheme of things.
Per success above Minor - +1 damage.
Straightforward?
Seski likes her music and she likes playing with amber. Give her more amber and see what she makes of it?
Actually, since we activated Nox, the Crone's Mysticism is suffering a major debuff. If we're not in her shrine, I don't think she CAN succeed at the ritual after the Tier gap. If we're in her shrine, then...going to need to math this.

DC is 80. Double moonlight saved your bacon. I pass bonuses from Moonlight down first.
Nope, it was just 2 below the pass threshold, moderate fail.
This was the one that ate your pop mod as a strong penalty.
Not particularly. Future reading is more accurate closer to the point of the event, but they becomes fuzzy too close just like it can too far away, it's like having one eye that can only see exactly a minute into the future, actions you take spontaneously fuck up the reading, and while it helps judge what may happen two minutes into the future, it's best at telling you what will happen in 1 minute, barring yourself. Omen reading, conversely, is an eye that sees in the present, with the full suite of a super-computer-grade 'physics' engine, it tells you what will happen if you do X, to a fair degree of accuracy.
EDIT: Whoops. Confluences are generally ambrosia condenser based. They are the product of highly specialized rituals, or, more rarely, natural events. They are effectively major planetary ley-line catchers, and they take advantage of peculiar mechanics of magic, typically to form ambrosia based on a particular type.

Speaking of the kid, that isn't enough water traits to make him able to live underwater is it?
@Powerofmind this has probably been brought up and I'm being dumb, but how are you handling ascension for Demi-spirits/gods born from fear spirits? I've forgotten most of the ascension mechanics from AA but didn't they need like half the parents total legend or something?

Oh, i forgot we had 3 lures in the plan, thought we'd just had the two--though according to PoM thats not how that roll worked
Ooh yeah, forgot that would apply there
...Demand appeasement is harder than i thought
Ahh--so we just barely stayed above negative rolls...
That makes sense. Astrology is about the movement of celestial bodies - great patterns, but ones that are largely fixed, not flexible. In contrast, Omen Reading is all about superstitions and the like. If you break a mirror, seven years of bad luck. If you follow the Crone into her Shrine, you are going to face grave danger. That sort of stuff.

Powerofmind definitely. Probably Abby as well.

Does the fact that we failed the appeasment mean that the Rite didn't go up and we will still be at Fear 4 next turn?

They need to acquire your spent legend in personal legend in their natural lifetime to ascend with Ur-spawn.
Well you did roll a 4. You were actually forced to do serious punishments, that's just what happens. You basically can't lose all of your pop-mod on an appeasement check, though. It gets progressively harder since I read the strong penalty from the difference between your current and 'death point' pop mods, so the less you have, the less damage the initial failure punishment does.

No, you will not have to recast, that was just a sort of 'She won't really do it' game of chicken. Technically, everybody lost.

Huh. Well in maybe 20 in game years we'll have some competition. It's 20 years because that's when I think we're going to murder the kid accidentally.

I mean, its not terrible, its just risky...which is why my plan was to do blessings the same turn we demanded appeasement--though even then i didn't know
1. That the DC was 60
2. That we took current pop mod as a strong modifier on "How much does your reaction to them fucking up, fuck them up"--And then this post shows up right before i hit post:
Ohh, so its not "+ <Current pop mod> Strong", its "+ [<Pop mod minimum> - <current pop mod>] Strong...interesting.

Any damage when we're this low is bad though.
Woah, that's one ball I did NOT catch. Good thing we made it from Moonlight.
Hmm, so finding one is basically:
-Find a past ritual site from a fallen civ
-Look for a natural energetic event.
Curious.
Ah, basically Appeasement always works, the Fear roll is to see whether they need to get punished first?

40. 14 is inside the 0-19 range, which is 2 degrees of failure for a 40.
They must always be punished. -Seski (after her ascension brinks out her kinky side).

Another question
Another question
Do we know if this is a roll penalty, and how big the penalty is at our current Minor Success roll?

...Wow, the whole "exams are over, brain can shut down for a month" thing was more widespread than i'd thought *facepalm*
