Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Not just that we are flying after bursting into a house uninvited.

If nothing else, we just barged through a threshold.

Not just barged through it, but we did so without the least bit of apparent effect on our powers. That alone has to send some alarm bells ringing in the elder's head.

I wouldn't be surprised if the fact Molly just did this hasn't quite sunk in yet for Older Whampire here. This is fairly fast paced after all. Do they have enough biological processes left to soil pants in terror?

So, the girl is actually in an interesting position magically and theologically speaking, I think. She hasn't yet murdered anyone, so she's not damned like Red Court (and most White Court) vampires are. She was in the process of doing so, but that might have been uncontrollable (it is for Raiths, if I recall correctly). I'm not sure if she is a White Court vampire yet. Something in-between. Something unique, possibly, if she lasts long enough. A human with a chained Hunger, rather than a White Court slave of their Hunger.
Could someone explain me, please, why we did not include Demonic Primacy of Essence in our plans or why we don't do it now?
It's always on. It's a passive effect, we don't need to trigger it and, in fact, have no way to stop it being active.

Whampire are mostly human. They have all the biological processes. Shame he is likely to figure it out fairly quickly and not attack.

I don't want him to leave this place alive and not our minion.
 
So, really, the two paths before the girl, and us (in what we offer her), are:
1) To bend the knee to us, and remain human, or mostly human. Stop herself at the edge of losing her humanity.
2) To feed on her elder and to become a white court vampire in full

That's a rather ideological choice. And I think I want her to choose for herself here, which path she will follow.

-[X] STUNT: With nary a sound, the corona of green flames expands around you, the banner of your soul made manifest. The flames gently caress the young vampiress. You speak, and you voice echoes, reverbating across the shadows of room: "You haven't yet killed anyone, Sitha, and so I shall grant you a choice. Bend the knee to me now, and your Hunger will abate, for none shall touch those that swear to follow me. Or feed on your elder - he shall survive it, this I guarantee. The woman, however, is not for you"

3) try to get past us and end up a corpse.
 
We should not spend anymore temp willpower here. We are already lower than I feel comfortable with and it will take most of a week for us to recover.

Interestingly, the reason we look like an elder Wan Kuei is probably because we seem to have just used an elder level ability of demon shintai, one of their disciplines to partially manifest features of their demonic self.

Attempting to intimidate an Infernal

Well, that definitely was something, guy really put his all behind that one, clearly, what a great success, oh, wait.... :V

Think letting the girl serves us is worth the price for not having any death here.

We cannot allow the information about ending the hunger to spread. We have to kill the old guy, even if she accepts.

As Yog said, we can't hide it long, it is too automatic for that. And trying to kill someone dear to a person we want to recruit just to stop him from talking is stupid. At best she attack us too, at worst she waits and betrays us by telling it to others and/or trying to have people kills us, no matter what we don't recruit her with your way.

Removed the *Sitha* from the stunt, given the discussion on it maybe not being a name.

I considered that, but I think it would be a very IC mistake, and a misunderstanding:
1) From Molly's (mine, when writing it), the intent was to make the words more personal. Trying to use her name is trying to establish a connection
2) From the vampire's point of view, this probably reinforces his opinion that we are also something old.
 
Still digesting the update. Commentary much later this evening when I get back to a comfortable place.

QUESTION
1)Is our Intimidation Excellency still running?
2)How old does the girl appear to be? Teenager yes, but do we have an age range? And how expensive do her clothes appear?
Molly should be able to judge female fashions quite well.
3)Can we assume Clippy has a good view of all the occupants in the room? Or do we specifically have to stunt this in?

Mercy is the property of the powerful. And none are as powerful in these dark ages as the Princes of Earth, rightful holders of the Mandate of Creation.

The MiS is too easy to trigger for it to remain secret.
1)I dont like your stunt for several reasons.
But I'm going AFK for a while, so explanations will have to wait.

2)Leadership Excellency does not apply.
We are not her leader or currently in a position of authority over her.
Its either Empathy or Intimidation, depending on your choice of approach.

  1. Yes, it's still on
  2. Late teens, 17-19 would be Molly's guess. They are definitely good jeans and those are some kick-ass boots, she would like a pair. And yes she does feel guilty for noticing that when someone is dying next to her, but in her defense she is rolling -4 for perception right now.
  3. A stunt would be useful so I can make a call on what DC they would have to pass to notice her

Let me guess, cosplaying a demon lord / fallen angel way too much?

Thanks. I corrected it to Empathy.
