Essentially yeah.
Fair enough I suppose. I'm not enthused about the possibility of getting sucker punched by a trap we thought we defeated though .
Might be worth telling them to gather at Helen's. It is their second best safe house after all.
Not sure what you mean here.
Probably not worth it without an escort to and fro, and we wont be free to do that job.
Later, after this crisis is averted, she should commission some nice wooden combat puppets from Michael. They could be crafted to fold up into innocuous wooden blocks complete with handles and luggage-style casters for easy transport.
I mean that Harry got his change slipped into their trap unopposed because the will of Kakuri wasn't around when he tried. That doesn't mean he won't look at it again until we show up, and Dresden isn't exactly subtle most of the time.
Maybe, but if they were going to play more hostage games then I'd have expected them to make the play all at once.
Well if they are made of wood the Yin vampires might find them more scary then people with guns. No minds to control and their touch disrupts Yin chi.
Ah.
It took Dresden a few hours to screw with, and he isn't a specialist. They had someone skilled enough to set this up in the first place, so I wouldn't bet on them missing it or necessarily requiring more time to deal with it than Harry needed to twist it.
Or you know Molly's training charm to turn them into combat monsters in a few weeks. And every person you have to defend against is horrendous that is a +1DC to all your rolls both offense and defenses per enemy.
I think it's actually +1DC and -1 dice. There is a reason we think some wooden dolls might be useful. Even if all they can do is clumsy attempts to try and grapple just forcing dodging is a big deal.
Maybe.
1)Dresden actually is a specialist here.
Hence why he's able to do stuff like whipping up a tracking spell in a couple minutes with a hair, or to bind the loup garou in combat time.White Night chapter 2 said:
Inverting the trap on him and poisonong him would be a welcome bonus, but still just a bonus.
the scary thing about demonreach is good chance the akuma would be on the minimum security level.
Less minimum security and more "why is this fellow here?"
Alternatively, Ancient Sorcery has two spells that might be of use.
Molly, with Occult 5, demon advisor and a lot of background, thinks she can take a naagloshii if she can prevent it from fleeing or veiling in a one-on-one fight.
Molly has civilians to worry about. HER minions.
My point was, and you damn well know it, that you are either severely underestimating kakuri faction, or overhyping naagloshii to high heavens.
It will be. You are proposing negotiating from a position of desperation and absolute weakness with both Eiko and Gard. And if Gard might, by word of Jim, be considered benevolent, if not nice, Eiko isn't. She's evil, whether it's for her own sake or for Emma-O's. We don't have tools to ensure her loyalty, and that's assuming she is a traitor. Because that's far from a given.
