I dont think she has any personal knowledge of the Pathfinders, let alone the local chapter.
Note that she's talked about her uncle when she was a kid, and stories told to her since then.
And she isnt in Cleveland.
If there were Pathfinders in Chicago and she knew it, she'd have probably dropped an anonymous tip to Dresden and the Wardens by now.
You are significantly overestimating the power available to minor practitioners, and underestimating the difficulty of remote magical surveillance for people who arent heavyweights.
Minor practitioners do not have the power to scry for people hundreds of miles away, and generally know enough to be cautious about scrying around carelessly. Note Gard warning us about how scrying for powerful targets can be intentionally or unintentionally perilous, with traps for the mind of the unwary.
Or how much precautions were necessary for Dresden to safely Soulgaze Molly.
And no minor practitioner is going to scry in the vicinity of someone who has admitted to being approached by the servants of an Outer God. Thats a good way to see something that will break your mind.
Permanently.
Not to be rude, but and? Most tragedies are grieved and remembered, they dont instigate personal crusades.
Rose of Autumn hasnt turned her life into a crusade in the aftermath. She approached us privately, she doesnt have a blog page warning about the perils of the Pathfinders. If she wont warn you openly on the public forums, she isnt going to travel three hundred plus miles to put herself in possibly direct harms way.
People who survive navigating the supernatural in the Dresden Files do so by either being very lucky, having serious backing, or having a keen understanding of their capabilities and limitations.
I mean, this is someone who was old enough to be living in Chicago when the Red Court had an operation here and hunted people.
Who is still living here while the White Court is running the strip clubs and porn studios. Who lived through the Darkhallow, when the Heirs of Kemmler were throwing hundreds of undead around and the Erlking led the Wild Hunt through the streets of Chicago.
How do you think they would have survived if not by knowing when to keep their heads down?
As for Harry, he knows we came to Cleveland with Michael.
And the vote literally says send him a message by way of Mouse's burner phone demon with a question about the Pathfinders. Unless we or Michael explicitly ask for him, he'll assume the Fist of God and the Infernal Exalt have this.
At most he'll ask if we need help.
