Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Yeah ... bit of trouble there considering the way CCC was set up

CCC was not used as you did not have anyone ruthless enough to enforce it to a level the charm would recognize. Both Michael and Father Forthill are too nice for it. If you had put a demon in the door that would have worked, but alas the church door does not have an electronic lock, surely an oversight of the design. :V
 
Key Skill, without counting the 1 these are 5 successes.

There is only one 1 in there that I can see which makes is 4 successes, still one short.

Actually only 4 successes when you ignore the 1, so we still lose... although, only 15 dice? We only got 1 die from the stunt? I could have sworn it was worth 2.

A stunt is worth up to three dice. In this case you were not using your environment so you just got the one. Using your environment for unholy intimidation would have been rather awkward in a church

If you can't see how temporarily trapping Molly in a potentially risky situation is an added risk I am not sure how to explain this to you.

In order to trigger CCC it has to actually be an impediment, like being locked in a room until Molly finishes crafting something, if it isn't a problem physically confining Molly it doesn't work. It can't be used to cheese risky situations without causing a problem because if it isn't a problem CCC doesn't activate and adding a problem to a risky situation increases the risk.
yes if its a problem it doesn't have to be a particularly hard problem though. Its also offset by the fact we can break out of many said restraint literally instantly. The problem can actually be a minor inconvenience. if its cuffs we can quite literally tear them apart it even works for awkward situations if we want it too.

System: The Infernal permanently reduces the difficulty of all attempts to escape from physical restraint or confinement by three. This Charm applies to physical actions (such as attempts to break out of a clinch or pick a lock), social actions (such as to seduce a guard), and mental actions (such as to come up with an escape plan, or determine the weak point in a wall).

Ooh, shinies!!
 
@DragonParadox
Okay, do we expect the Exorcism to be as damaging as our own option?

Also, do we have any healing options with us?

As far as I can tell the Sapphire Exorcism is very likely to kill the girl on its own, so we need options.

Molly does not know. She has no lore related to how the power of the White God might interact with bakemono. Keep in mind though you can brew alchemical healing potions that do heal lethal.
 
Citation? Because all indication is that she is a normal girl who allowed the demon in.

Fomor are a specific thing that is a mortal transformed ritually to be merged with a bane.

DP has consistantly called the Wan Kuei's helper here bakemono or fomor.

Huh. So she is a Formor.

Makes sense. Welp, vote deleted. The spell will kill her, what with it doing 10 lethal damage.
10 Lethal Damage dice.

It would need 7 successes to certainly kill her, which is not that likely.
On the other hand, massive internal damage might kill her over the next hours or days even if it doesn't immediatly bring her health-levels to zero, since she is not in any way supernatural (after the exorcism) and has no special resistance to bleeding out, or organ failure or stuff like that.

Even in the very best case we would have to bring a heavily injured and traumatized child to the hospital with not good explanation for what happened.

I wish we had at least Lydia's fist-aid Charm.
