Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

If you want to ask stuff like who benefits, I think a bettet question is "what are thr consequences for the way the deal was carried out for those who took part in it."
To catch negative consequences too, just in case since she prob didnt want to release an Exaltation and may be planning to use the new variable.

If they are trying to pull some tricksy bullshit. On Molly Carpenter. Who is currently decked out in what is probably iron weapons and armor.
...well they deserve what's coming to them.
Maybe
[] How can we help Dresden and our Mother in this situation?
Never underestimate human stupidity.
My understanding is if you say save a fey life they are in-debt to until the preform equivalent acts in repayment. But you can say get me a pizza, and say that clears the debt in its entirety. Fey can't do that but mortals can, clear debts to them for minor effort.

Depending on what we learn from the more general question, we could narrow down our insight down for a question about an individual later on.
Uh, Sidenote: is us using the crown going to make us flare up in atomic fire? Even so, I guess we'll just burn innocuously in the corner and gather information.

I looked at the Ancient Sorcery spells in a bit more detail.
Other than stuff like Emerald Binding and Sapphire Unbinding and the gate spell, one more also looks interesting, but for combat.
Usually combat Sorcery wasnt good in Exalted (but Flight of the Brilliant Raptor is good here we just already going to get Agg dmg elsewhere), but Invulnerable Skin of Bronze + Viridian Legend Exoskeleton could let us have huge soak.

3 Essence = Anima, so I think it will?
Anyway, I'm just going to toss an explanation in now that we have a moment to breathe.
Can we ask questions like that? I thought we needed to ask for information about the world, not for plans or courses of action.
It's the Crown of Eyes, not the Crown of Strategy.

[X] Talk to your mother about the deal you made and what it means
-[X] 'It wasn't really something specific' you blurted out, now that you had a moment of quiet while Harry chatted with the newcomers. 'Not like I swore to serve anyone or anything, in fact he explicitly said I could do whatever I wanted and I just needed to pick it up and.' In hindsight, you're not really helping much, but you feel like if you let things sort of play out on their own here, without even trying to set the record straight, it'll cost you something important. 'I mean, I don't feel like I've got to be all cackling evil, or corrupt or sinister or anything, just that I've got a tap to some kind of magic nuclear reactor that I can just dial up and down which includes a magic sword that comes out of my soul, and I'm not really helping am I? Dad is going to be so mad with me, isn't he?'
It's a bit spaghetti-fell-out but I think that actually works here. And to be entirely honest, the best time to be discussing something like this is when we're getting a free universal boost because of the environment, plus, the emotions are still high so that nobody can really call it some clever scheme or something. It's an investment to make things a bit easier later on! Hopefully!

Should we mention that now? That reads like a good approach for this situation, but I don't see why we should give Summer free information by talking about this now.

I mean, it doesn't give them anything actionable is what my focus was on, nothing that Aurora probably hasn't already intuited, and as I said, the important thing is to establish right now that Molly isn't some walking demon-vessel first.

The question goes directly to DPs desk.
As a rule of thumb. Exalted powers do everything not specifically excluded. As long as it's in line with said power.

It's somewhat of a choice between Molly attempting to somewhat wrest control of the situation by using the tools she just had grafted to her to learn how everyone stands to benefit from this incursion and her rescue. Or, she attempts to connect with her mother and reassure her she's still her daughter and not just some entity wearing her face.
I see the appeal in both choices, but I'd prefer stalling the latter until later for now since we're still in the middle of Arctis Tor.
Does it establish that? They have no reason to believe that without testing Molly. Or for her specific assurances to actually mean anything if she is in the driver's seat. The "free power if you just pick it up" sounds almost identical to many of the Denarian's pitches.
The level of detail you're suggesting isn't actionable, but it is vastly more than they currently have. In that it tells them anything at all about what Molly is.
We're in a movie theatre in Chicago.

I guess it's fine as long as no names are mentioned
Edit: Actually what if we just state that we're the same person we were and aren't possessed and encourage Harry to use a soul gaze to verify if he thinks it necessary

Must have missed the transition if that's the case. My bad.

Even if we were our mother would probably try and kill the Fey for implying that.
As fun as it would be to get imprisoned again and destroy the summer court on the way out.
Molly should know better, and so should everyone else here.

Don't be stupid, we need Harry functional right now, and a Soul Gaze while Molly's New Soul Sword is out will shut him down until he can process it.

Then call her father and then do the soul gaze and which part of the scene requires Harry's participation?
I think I also second this for now. Staring at the fusion of a ancient power older than the current order of the world and a mortal's soul just sounds like a terrible idea barring any weird partitioning of soul portions. Especially with all the information a Soul Gaze seems to give you.

He's not here right now.
The point is that Charity is a very opinionated woman who has a lot of baggage to be carrying, and once she makes up her mind about something she sticks to it come hell or high water. Sometimes this is very good, because she backs her friends and family until the heavens fall, and sometimes it leads to shit like her abjectly refusing to believe Harry is a good person until the aftermath of this very arc when he put his life on the line for Molly, even straight up disagreeing with Michael, one of the Best Men In The World on the topic.
She's currently figuring shit out and reassessing, but a piece of evidence on the pile of "My daughter hasn't been killed and replaced by a demon" will probably help avoid a lot of heartache later, and unless a lot of very foolish stuff happens, we're not just going to sit tight while the hounds are baying at our heels.

In this case I'd probably scream in frustration shout at my mom for not believing me and then storm off home.
This seems like a very in character move for a 17 year old.
