He can't possess us. Not if he had unlimited divine power, certainly not as it is.

For emotional tricks or other mind-magic we still have to spend Essence to activate Impervious Primacy Mantle though.
We are not naturally immune to the whole sphere.
 
[X] Ignore the ghosts, you are tough, go after Lydia
-[X] (STUNT) You do not move, you move and the world trembles, knowing better than to oppose you. The air parts, sound muffling, light bending, all giving way to you. You see a rain of blows falling down on you but you persevere. Resisting spectral hands to get at your prize.

This is Capriocorpus. How long does it take to assume shintai form? This definitely calls for the shintai form.

Thus why I want to try to trick him to go strait for the possession. That would be a classic villain twist of the knife and it's one he doesn't know we are absolutely immune to.

He jumps out of her, into us, bounces, then eats Holy Sword to the face.

Turn of concentration, 2 essence, 2 willpower.
 
Whew! Was not expecting Capricorpus to be piloting Lydia. How badly did she screw up her summoning to let that monster in?

Our Shintai is not optimal for this kind of enemy.
Cutting the Capricorpus down is no harder than just killing Lydia, it just wouldn't stick.
We have to let our dad do the heavy lifting here.

If and only if the Capri decides to stick around after being expelled and making herself a big and powerful Astral Body manifestation, then a Shintai might be useful.

Kinda Though ill note they can't body jack us or our dad and cards probably got at least decent defenses against it. Aside I'm more worried they can escape than anyone else and I want shintai for the evil valkyrie.

Also honestly unsure how much of their power they can permanently take. Jim says taking a wizards power permanently is possible though with wills and other people in general the risk is that you basically become them in addition to who you already are. For example if they tried to take Dresden body talent and all they'd essentially become Dresden for all intents and purposes in the process and its basically just another form of death if technically a continuation.

So, for practical action we should do two things:
1. Activate Impervious Primacy Mantle. The Capricorpus is a Mind-mage, as proven by the fact that DP rolled Mind for clinging to the possession. That means it can fuck with our head if we let it.

2. Activate our Anima. If we get attacked by ghosts we absolutly need the surprise-negator to avoid extra-damage.

We should activate IPM as well.
Do we want to spend will power or essence?

-[X] Trust your father to deal with the possession. Trust Gard to deal with the spirits. It's your job to ensure the bastard doesn't get away with his hostage. Tackle her to the ground and grapple her

Keep in mind old Coorpsetaker is actually quite clever and good with the talking, if someone with an affinity to death and a lot of power going around were to say start loudly asking questions on the spooky side it would get to her sooner rather than later... and she does have answers. She might well have talked her way in seeing as she was not in the driver's seat until Lydia almost gave the game away with her 'I'm not alone'.
 
Corpsetaker can do veils.

We really should add activating IPM to our votes, lest she get away.
Gorfel almost managed it.

Ah, Capriocorpus, that's a wrinkle to say the least.
They're an experienced old monster, hopefully their arrogance will give an opening.

Hopefully they try to jump us and we can cut them.

... If we get Capriocorpus, and Holt here, we probably strongly derail a lot of plots to come.

Also, we now know that whatever it is with Holt, it's not Capriocorpus. That's good to know. At least we will be fighting them sequentially, and not at the same time.

And SHE is a teenage girl empowered by the spirit of a dead necromancer. WE are a teenage girl empowered by a shard of godlike power from before history. One should triumph over the other.

Oh if she were within reach definitely. Unfortunately she's what 20 feet up and x feet away while being close to a portal and Molly can't fly...

Yes I am becoming persuaded to vote for flight
 
So, should we maybe still consider throwing our shield at the door to jam it? Allowing her to escape is a fail state, after all.
 
Might we want to spend a willpower here? This is going to be a roll that is both difficult and very important. If she gets away we are going to be in trouble.
