I thought plan B was the sort of thing you were supposed to see through your eyelids? Then again "Unleash the Kukla" sorta is Hunhow's plan B, because killing Autochton first didn't work.
Ebeli Quest: How to Manage your Plot Devices and Save Creation
Given attempting to summon the Kukla instead results in summoning one of it's guards, could we do that to just tell the guards about the attack much quicker?
Or, heck, just summon up the Kukla into a section of Autocthon's forge that's uninhabited and then seal it similar to how the Ebon Dragon is.

Summon the Kukla into the Underworld! That solves multiple problems!

And how many does it create?
It varies.
If it's nighttime in Creation and the resulting destruction can reach out of the Underworld via Shadowlands significantly more problems are created.
Also, what exactly the creation aspect does to the underworld could be variable. It might just expand the underworld, it might create a region toxic to the rest of the underworld, the new region might act as a vector through which the Neverborn can attack Creation due to the Kukla's nature as an Elemental dragon.
Although I doubt the last one will happen.
Welcome to the Jungle! We have fun and games!

[X]Pray to Gaia. Plus side: Best wealth of information. Negative side: You have Gaia's Attention.
-[X]Find the Eye. You're close, it could be useful.
You nod. You point. "Shell, Ray. Take Shell's colossus form, go to the Pearl Court or whatever's there now, and see if you can get the Eye. We're going to try need some prayer strips so we can contact Gaia to ask about the Kukla."
Ray produces a set of gold strips from her jump suit and hands them off, before grabbing Shell by the elbow and walking her out of the sitting room. You take the strips, hold them up. You write down on them the situation-
You wish to know the location of the Kukla due to the unprecedented situation regarding an otherworldly invasion. Additionally, you graciously request the aid of Gaia in making sure the Kukla remains sleeping against the efforts of this threat, so it may not awaken and shatter Creation.
However.
Glancing between yourself and Sky, you cock an eyebrow. Neither of you are really good at...well, the priesthood thing. You could go up to the bridge and have Ligier send the prayer, as he is excellent in all things. But you also want to make sure that Gaia receives the message.
(Int+Occult, 15 dice, +6 autosuccesses, 16 successes)
So you tap the bracelet. "Need you to do something."
Elsewhere opens. The Encounter Suit, clad in a smock, walks out.
"Yes, Sorcerer?"
You hand the prayer strip to Autochthon. "Burn this prayer strip. It's addressed to Gaia. I need her to pay attention to this, and a prayer addressed to her by the Great Maker will no doubt have her full attention."
The facet eyes rotate. "Very well." The jade coils built into the palm of the suit glow red and the strip burns to ash.
You awaited an answer- the ship continued to Whitewall. Perhaps you could gain the aid of Whitewall's Dawn Caste if you had to face down Hunhow's servant. The ship continued on, and you retired for the night in the sitting room- you and Sky in particular retired on one of the couches to wait for the ship to arrive.
You don't remember making the conscious decision to go to sleep. But apparently, you did.
Because the two of you find yourself sitting on something leathery and shifting, moving like a membrane beneath you. You shoot up, turn, and lock eyes with the eye on the 'armrest' of the couch which stares at you through a nictating membrane before the rest of the Yeddim-sized frog rears up and croaks.
Sky slides off the impromptu seat, hand on Stone Splitter's pommel.
The frog only croaks and hops away, shaking the ground in its passing. You watch- the size of the creature is...beyond what something that requires regular immersion in water and a permeable skin would make possible. So, given as it is a violation of the Square Cube law, it must be magical. Meaning this isn't natural. Or it's just supernatural.
You look around, your sight shifting to essence. Flavors of essence whirl in the world around you- like Creation, but different. Similar. Elemental and alien at the same time.
"Did we eat any mushrooms?" Sky asks, "Or drink anything that had been exposed to Hegra?"
"No, and yes, that usually leads to us having some sort of shared, weird dream." You shrug, and find your staff in your hand. You turn, and a tree uproots itself in the forest surrounding you, walking out of the way and clearing a path of dirt and stone.
Taking the hint, you walk- you and Sky walk along the narrow, natural path through the living forest. You'd think it was demonic, but the trees are natural- green leaves, wood bark. Except they're alive, but they're not assholes. So no Kings of the Woods.
The air invigorates you- filled with life. You don't tire, despite the hours that seem to pass when you walk. The path leads to a lake, and on the other side of it is what you know is your destination. But there are no paths. No lily pads. No bridges, and you can feel eyes upon you.
Waiting for how you act.
So you take off your shoes and step on the water. You feel that it is more than just water- it is filled with life. Microbes. Sea life. Plankton. So full that it is a surface for you to walk across, and it supports your weight even without magic, even without charms. You and Sky walk across, confident in this world, in this dream or vision quest.
The path leads to a canyon- formed of jade, white jade. Purer than any you have ever seen. Canyon walls rise in sections, like a coliseum. Slowly, animals fill the seats. Some familiar, if odd. Varied fowl and farm animals, dressed and upright. Not elementals, but uplifted or aliens.
Some truly alien. Things too big for Creation. Things too strong for Creation. The question still burns at the back of your mind- where is this? What is this? You have a very strong suspicion, so you tap your bracelet.
"Get out here."
Elsewhere opens, and Autochthon walks out. The audience gasps. As does Autochthon, who's facet eyes go wide before he promptly hides behind Sky. His encounter suit folds in on itself into a floating ball, hovering behind your husband, and you turn to the direction that the ball is pointing at.
You blink.
"That's Luna," Sky says.
You nod. "And she's eating popcorn."
Well, fuck it. You reach into your infinite resplendence amulet and pull out the brass serpent. "Where are we?"
The brass effigy of the Ebon Dragon looks around, and cackles. And then says something completely true.
"You're on Pangaea."
The ground rumbles.
Are you strong?
Well that's...not a good question?
"We're Solar Exalted," Sky says, unsheathing his sword, "We are."
That which is strong, survives. That which is weak, dies. To speak with Gaia-
The coliseum cheers. The ground erupts. A serpent, with a maw of claws and teeth, trailing acid and stretching into the sky, bursts from the ground.
Prove your strength!

And God-Forged Champion of War might not work, because there might not be any little gods for it to call upon.

In case anyone needs reminding, Pangaea is Gaia's worldform jouten. Currently using Gnosis as a ride through the depths of the Wyld and the Faraway.
We wouldn't release him; we can't. We'd be using the brass serpent as a bludgeon, much to the Ebon Dragon's annoyance.
Incidentally, there's a shrine on Silver Chair that Luna can use to call up the Ebon Dragon if she wants to talk with him. She's used it on occasion. Now that he's doubly imprisoned, can Luna still contact him via the shrine?
Also, changing my vote to:
[X] Cast Unity of the Closed Fist with Sky and Autochthon.
- [X] Throw the Ebon Dragon at Ladon as a distraction.

Do we have a casting prepared? Because otherwise I don't think that Ladon will patiently wait for us to cast it.

I'm pretty sure the Ebon Dragon would have told us if he'd slept with V'neef.[X] Improvised weapon: Ebon Dragon Bludgeon.

Grandmotherfucker.
I was going to say that, but such relations haven't been confirmed yet.
