More on the putting, or not putting, Dana on the Panoply action. Think about it in the narrative sense (which often is a good method in Alectai -quests). Do you really want to leave the details of making biomechanical warmachines to just-converted cultists, without any oversight in the mortal realm?

Even if Dana doesn't bring it an extra special bonus, the native +10 from having her around is good, so we get +40 to a DC80. Stack all the bonuses on the thing that's critically important to succeed.

Dana only gives +10 to Charity and Preaching actions, not Kinetic. There is no inate +10 hero bonus just for putting her on any action, so even with her there the total bonus is still +30, same as if she wasn't there. That being said, the benefit to having her there is if the action falls through she can run damage control and try for a better result than total all out failure.

I think Throne Emperor long lost most of his more humane parts. The only thing is left his pure near-suicidal willpower to resist against all odds. Any sort of compromise no longer possible as he thinks all things based on cost and benefits. But surely we can feed on or convert his more humane part like Starchild aka his mercy.(If they exist in this quest)
I wonder what happened to Abby's sword?

Ah, thanks. And when there's 49% odds of failure, then yeah, having a mitigating factor along is good. 51% shots are nothing to bet on.

We're rolling at +30 on a DC 80 task - there's a 30% chance we crit, in which case we want Dana there to control the crit, and there's a 50% chance we fail, in which case we definitely want Dana there to ameliorate the failure.
As for the other actions - I want to have the book written before we get to Cult Size 1 - the bigger our cult is, the harder it'll be to institute those kinds of controls. But even if we went all in on recruitment, it'd be a couple of turns before we hit that breakpoint, so I don't see the book as something urgent enough to take this turn, while we've got the looming spectre of invasion and famine hanging overhead.
So for me, the second action is basically a choice between long-term investment into getting a bigger cult, or focusing on the immediate issues by shoring up the famine prep. And in this case, I think immediate concerns have to be top priority.

I would think so too, actually. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
As for Abbadon's sword, I'm guessing it's gone somewhere or gone for good - either one of the two.
They are probably not gonna like it if we survive.......
Well, looks like they are likely gonna be an enemy no matter how well we hide.....

I mean, the Evangelions aren't gonna be subtle. I don't think we can really get away with diplomacy either way when they return. Luckily, we'll have a few years to get rooted before then.

Something that I just noticed about the tally: It doesn't count identical sub-votes in the plan twice, even if they are beneath different subvotes themselves. Which is why Dana doesn't show up in any plan in the tally more than once. Its pretty much too late to start adjusting it at this point of the vote, but something to remember in the future, and for Alectai to be aware of when he starts rolling and writing for this turn.

@Alectai Just caught up with the quest, and I really like it so far! My only complaint would be that you don't include the results of the previous vote at the start of each update. This makes it a little hard to follow what's happening/has happened, and in particular makes it harder for new readers to get into it, as they won't necessarily have read all the in-thread discussion and seen the appropriate vote tallies. Anyway, thanks again for a fun quest.

Oh, I'm sorry, just thought that plant that can MAKE ANY ORGANIC BEING ALLERGIC TO SUN(!) could be weaved into a stuff of nightmares. SO sorry you feel that common hogweed, a plant that can be found NIGHT EVERYWHERE, that can be inconspicuously spread without attracting attention, can be easily repurposed into a weapon, even without modifications.
or that Death apple can be burned and it's super poisonous smoke easily dealing with whole regiments.
Well, tough luck.
If we're lucky and have a few years (preferably more than a decade) prep-time, our Planet will be safe from those, chaos-wannabes (let's be honest, current Imperium is nothing else that materium equivalent of Chaos-lite. F*ck 'em)
P.S.
Will this be how our plant being look like?
