Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Reader mode
Well we at least know odin is benevolent word of god from jim butcher though uhhhh doesn't mean we couldn't be at opposite ends at some point who knows. Also how many mantles he has who knows before odin he could of been something else who knows in dresden files after all. and mantles affect their users who knows how many he has and what hes wearing at any given time.
 
@DragonParadox does Molly actually know of her shintai form IC? That would be a tactically important information to reveal to avoid blue on blue incidents during the upcoming fight.

Also, we might want to reveal CCC. We could ask Gard to swear an oath to prevent us from leaving the fight until Katrina is either defeated or escapes, which would trigger CCC.
 
[X] [Reveal] You can sword good, and have some decent knowledge of occult. You also have a grab-bag of other skills, but you'd like to only reveal them when relevant as they can be rather specific in their function and you'd take awhile detailing the exact stuff. Also you're a lot more durable than most mortals. If you can get away with it, flash your caste mark briefly, and inform her of what it is.

[X] [Ask] Any specific powers you should worry about aside from supernatural skill?

Can't think of anything else. Though I would like to spar with her when she has time! :D

I think you might have misunderstood. Molly does not know about her Shintai form IC until she uses it, that is why the vote to chose it was all OOC.

Yes, I get that. What I think I am misunderstanding is this vote. Is this "what will we be actually using in the upcoming fight" OOC vote (where choosing to use shintai is an option), or is this "what do we tell Gard our abilities are?" IC vote for planning the upcoming fight? In the latter case we can't choose "reveal shintai" since we don't know of it IC.

It is what you tell her about. If you use something you did not tell her about she might look at you funny, but I am not going to tie your hands behind your back on account of that. One thing you may want to consider is if you tell her about your more subtle powers as well since before the fight you also still have to find the enemy.
 
I think we should keep it simple and straight forward here, not revealing anything irrelevant to the upcoming conflict, and at the same time we shouldn't try to pry too much information out of Gard.

[X] We are an extremely skilled melee combatant, specializing in the use of a magical sword we can summon or dismiss at need. When we will it, our sword can harm beings who would normally be resistant or outright immune to damage, and this damage is difficult heal, even for creatures capable of rapid regeneration. We, in turn, are more difficult to injure and can fight at full capacity with wounds which would be crippling if not fatal for a regular mortal. We are also highly resistant or immune to effects which target our mind.
-[X] Share with Gard what we have learned of Capricorpus and Matthews' likely abilities as well, along with the likelihood of mortal backup possibly being empowered with rage spirits or other supernatural enhancements.

[X] What abilities should we expect Katrina to display? What about Gard herself, at least that which is relevant in this situation?

Anyway

[X][Reveal] You are a powerful and hard to put down melee fighter specializing in the use of a magical sword we can summon or dismiss at need. Of the more supernatural abilities you possess, three are most relevant. First is the ability to summon and command minor spirits of technology, which is how you are tracking Katrina. Second is limited clairvoyance, which is how you'll be locating Cindy using her photograph. Third is how you are able to grow more powerful if physically confined to a certain area, which is why you'll be asking her to swear an oath not to let you leave the place of the fight until either Katrina is defeated, the child is saved, or Katrina escapes.

[X] [Ask] What are Katrina's known capabilities? How does she fight, what should you look out for? Importantly, do you need to worry about death curses when fighting her? And, if Gard knows, how is she afraid of death? The ritual she's attempting won't work otherwise, but such a fear seems to run counter to her nature.

Something like that. CCC is too tactically useful not to set it up here. And we have to reveal demons in some way. Too noticeable to conceal. Revealing a misdirected Crown ability is also needed, since I am not compromising on saving the child.

Wait a second... Gard is a Valkyrie who works for Monoc Security. You might as well ask "Is Odin still around?"

"We are none of us quite what we were but we remember still honor and valor. Even in this changed world, there will still be warriors true and so there must be those who choose."

Does learning that Odin is still kicking around running a security company count as a supernatural secret for the purposes of essence recovery?

Not exactly a big one, but it is a hint on the status of modern divinity.
 
We really really really should talk about Lydia to Gard.

Irrespective of the fear mongering about Molly approaching Arawn via Lydia, if Gard does so as a representative of Monoc Securities there should be no chance of any of the scenarios were imagined to stop us doing so coming to pass.

Of course, we may well already have wasted that opportunity, and she may already be captured.

Actually, you know what, let's KISS.

[X] [Reveal] Be straightforward about your abilities and answer questions. You don't need to hide much here aside from the fact that you're still growing. Everything else is basically fair game really.
 
What is likely to come up?
  • Melee with always available sword
  • immune to mindcontrol (bodysnatcher enemy)
  • anima flare, we are likely to spend enough essence to flare it. We'll probably want to flare it manually too
  • our helper spirits. We do need to justify our info somehow
  • don't mention our crown ability, pretend we found the girl's location via our helper spirits

I don't want to mention anything about our Crown Ability. Our intellectus. That'd make us a very big target.

We need to grow a bit before we can handle that much heat.
 
[X] Share everything but our Demon Summoning, Crown of Eyes, and Shintai (because we dont know about it IC). If pressed about the tracking ability, share that we can track electronics we come into contact with.
 
We should most certainly not reveal we get more capable of imprisoned, as that's an incredible ace in the hole to keep secret as long as possible.

At most we should say:

[X][Reveal] We're supernaturally competent at a limited range of skills, can heal from injuries that regular humans can't, have some limited clairvoyance, and can summon minor spirits of technology.

[X] Explain your suspicions about Lydia to Gard and ask her if she can pass/underwrite a message warning her and her father of the danger.

By far the most urgent and important thing we need to do is warn the targets of the necromancers, not just sit here gossiping while they are in immediate lethal danger that we're doing nothing to stop.

CCC might not come up on its own, but it is too damn useful not to abuse and thus should be mentioned.
