Yeah. I turned on DEBUG logging before I ascended.
KoLmafia's postAscension method does this:
Code:
...
// User-defined actions:
KoLmafiaCLI.DEFAULT_SHELL.executeLine( Preferences.getString( "postAscensionScript" ) );
ValhallaManager.pullFreeItems();
if ( Preferences.getBoolean( "autoQuest" ) )
{
RequestThread.postRequest( UseItemRequest.getInstance( ItemPool.get( ItemPool.SPOOKYRAVEN_TELEGRAM, 1 ) ) );
}
// Standard paths can change what is available, so check clan
ClanLoungeRequest.visitLounge();
ClanLoungeRequest.visitLoungeFloor2();
// Check hotdog stand, speakeasy, and floundry, if present
if ( ClanManager.getClanLounge().contains( ClanManager.HOT_DOG_STAND ) )
{
ClanLoungeRequest.visitLounge( ClanLoungeRequest.HOT_DOG_STAND );
}
if ( ClanManager.getClanLounge().contains( ClanManager.SPEAKEASY ) )
{
ClanLoungeRequest.visitLounge( ClanLoungeRequest.SPEAKEASY );
}
if ( ClanManager.getClanLounge().contains( ClanManager.FLOUNDRY ) )
{
ClanLoungeRequest.visitLounge( ClanLoungeRequest.FLOUNDRY );
}
//force rebuild of daily deeds panel
PreferenceListenerRegistry.firePreferenceChanged( "dailyDeedsOptions" );
Notice that it calls the user's postAscension script before doing various other visits and before looking at the telegram.
We intentionally do not visit the council, to allow the user to do that at the time of their choice, so they can enjoy seeing what it says.
A postAscension script COULD start out with a council visit, if that turns out to be necessary to unlock things - and I will probably make my script do exactly that.
My post-ascension script calls Ezandora's briefcase script. Here is what I see in the gCLI:

I visited the Council.
Code:
The members of the Council of Loathing are floating aimlessly around the interior of the Council building. As one drifts near you, you yell "Hey, what happened?"
"The Kingdom blew up! It was that stupid..." He floats away before finishing the sentence, so you're forced to wait for the next one to float near you to conclude "space invader thing!"
"What should we do about it?" you yell to the third guy to float past.
He gestures toward a list labeled "ADVENTURER CHORES" and shrugs. Another one floats by and flips you a letter.
letter from King Ralph XI You acquire an item: letter from King Ralph XI
You look at the list of chores:
Even after all this, they want a mosquito larva from the Spooky Forest for some reason.
The explosion apparently didn't solve the rat problem at the Typical Tavern.
The Bat Hole somehow survived all this nonsense, and still has the Boss Bat in it.
Cobb's Knob is floating around menacingly and you should probably kill the king before they try something funny.
Even though the Deep Fat Friars are now floating in an endless void, they're still asking the government of that endless void for help.
The Cyrpt is evil, and what's even worse is that now it's SPACE EVIL. You grab an Evilometer from a box next to the list.
Evilometer You acquire an item: Evilometer
The trapper, unperturbed by the fact that his mountain is no longer connected to the world, needs some help.
The Highland Lord has sent us another one of his "emergency" requests.
There's a tremendous amount of space junk floating around. The astronomers thought it was really close but it turns out it's just really large. Probably the giants. Deal with 'em, would ya?
Near the bottom of the chore list is a note about a package that arrived for you. No, wait, it's not for you, it's for Bramlet Abercrombie. My mistake.
There's only like sixty square feet of the Mysterious Island left, and the hippies and frat boys have gone to war for control of it. That needs to be resolved.
A bunch of stuff appeared in my charpane for outstanding quests.
"prefref quest" shows that every single "quest##XXXXX" quest is "unstarted".
The quest for the war still says "Remaining soldiers: 333hippy, 333 frat boys." Notice the lack of a space between "333hippy" as opposed to "333 frat boys". I expect they'll fix that blemish, by and by.
Back in inventory under Miscellaneous quest items, I now have:
Evilometer (usable)
letter from King Ralph XI (usable)
When I use the latter, I get:
pork elf goodies sack
disassembled clover
note from Clancy
I went back to the Council.
"You look at the list of chores".
I used the Bastille Battalion and popped to level 4.
I went back to the Council.
"You look at the list of chores".
Still no telegram from Lady Spookyraven anywhere.
I went to Spookyraven Manor and attempted to enter the Haunted Kitchen.
"You approach the open door to the kitchen, but before you can enter, there is an ear-splitting screech and the door slams shut in front of you.
Hmm. Apparently somebody doesn't want you going in there."
There is now a telegram from Lady Spookyraven in inventory.
Conclusion:
- Kremlin's Greatest Briefcase is a special case "you must talk to the Council first"
- I didn't get the telegram until I tried to go in to the Hanunted Kitchen - and there is, literally, nothing to send you in that direction when you start out.
Wiki says:
"Upon reaching level 5 as a new player, you will receive the following KMail"
and
"If you have ascended at least once, the KMail (and the telegram) are triggered when you enter Spookyraven Manor."
And yet, we used to be able to use the telegram immediately upon ascension.
Perhaps KoLmafia's onAscension method just needs to visit the manor before trying to use the telegram.
