Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Reader mode
I think we should point out we're already involved; any logical argument of our use to the case will be brushed off by Dresden, insisting he can do it on his own, because he's stubborn like that. If he thinks in someway he would be 'protecting' us by having us close though, he'll go for that. Can't really think of what to stunt for this though

Hail Clippy, she-who-awaketh-at-seven-a. m. Lol. What if Molly binds a demon to the Electric grid though...

The whole network, as in the wires and circuit breakers and stuff are not a valid target, now a computer that has control of it would be. As a rule of thumb anything with a microprocessor Hollow Mind Possession can bind to, though there are edge cases like one of those old time super-computers that still used transistors, just a lot of them.
 
[X] Emphasize all the skills you would bring to an investigation
-[X] Leaving aside the capacity for violence, which might come in handy when we actually find any Nazis, I've recently found a trick that will allow me to access almost any digitally-stored information. Since you can't even start a computer without burning it out, that seems complimentary. Also I'd like to gain some insight into investigative processes, might be useful in my future.
 
Harry wouldn't care what skills we brought, but if we told him we're getting involved with him or without him, he'd feel compelled to make it a With just so he can protect us.

As instructions for demonology these would normally be utterly terrible, but you did not draw a circle in salt and blood nor summon by morrtal magic, the pact between you runs deeper than words.

"Understood, I shall wake you at 7:00 AM tomorrow," Clippy proclaims. Then on the border between waking and sleeping you hear if you did not dream. "Thank you"

I have had this demon for five minutes and if anything happened to her...
 
Actually about that ranged attack, why not instead of Sandstrike Blast take Sinner-Boiling Stare?

It has no range-limit besides line of sight and can deal a lot of aggravated damage.
Oh, and it one-shots mortals.

Of course unlike Sandstrike you have to spend one Essence per shot and you have to spend the whole round on using it, rather than take secondary actions, but it's still good to take out a sniper.

-[X] Make sure to explain what you can do, so you can cooperate better.

I mean, talking him into it might work better, but I like this option more.

-[X] Note that you're pretty sure the sniper would have gotten a good look at your face when you were parrying his shots

-[X] Also offer the sniper's bullet. Either he can track down the owner, or we can use the Crown to get the shooter's name or current location, whatever is more useful in context.

well yeah but the specific bullets unless their insane and keep and name specific bullets it seems unlikely.

It would not have to be specific bullets, they are conceptually one thing in with a person can put great stock on or not. Like if someone was really intense about their hair and loved hairclips and lost one that could be used for thaumaturgy even if they did not stencil their name on the specific clip.
 
Okay, even assuming Harry has very low odds of success here, we can definitly use the bullet to ask a Question on the shooter, right?
Getting his currently used name would be a start for a detective like Dresden, getting his current location would also be an option.

We should loot other Yama Kings for their demons.

I suppose once we are Essence 5 we could just invade the other Hells from ours, using our population as an army while fighting the Yama-King ourselves.

The 10.000 Hells have grown that large by taking over nearby umbra-realms, so it stands to reason that we can do the same.
Besides, subjugating or killing the other Yama Kings is a big step towards becoming the Demon Empress of the Sixth Age.
