Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

A thought just occurred to me.
Does hunting down Arianna together basically count as a date equivalent from his perspective?

Alas yes. Molly is trying not to think about it

Actually a little bit surprised by this I thought that our urge was something of a compulsion.

It is, but it's not all consuming. In this case if he murdered a bunch of cops and took their stuff Molly would be at a quandary if she should tell Murphy even though there is nothing the cops can do against Broken Seeker. Better not to know for a while at least.
 
There is a line between trolling and harassment and considering Harry's explicit lack of interest in pursuing a relationship with Molly (which I am getting tired of repeating) and what you guys are mentioning, I have to say that this is firmly in harassment territory and we should crush if it happened, not be amused.

Nobody cares about his opinion because he's a man? If this were a woman in these situations mentioned, it would instantly be seen as harassment.
Yeah, I went a bit too far here. I apologize. Still, entertainment featuring the idea of Molly (like children's cartoons and comics) is going to be interesting to see.

I don't think the Archive would pick up anything from there unless humans wrote it down. She's supposed to be an archive of human knowledge. It's only humans that act as anchors for the things she is trying to render forgotten.
Most builds have humans in our kingdom, not just devils.
Yeah, doesn't look like the vote will go that way. I know that I'm personally much more interested in the crafting charm, and would happily make the hell wait. Most everyone else seems to feel differently though
This is a very long and very action-packed arc, and we haven't yet covered Last Station (and I think there's also something else?), and are going down to hunt Red King's daughter. Plus the experience we'll essentially get refunded from experiencing our kingdom in the first place. I think we might be able to afford crafting charm this turn. This requires that we get 29 XP over the arc in total. Which might be doable.
The hell saves us having to do a lot of crafting ourselves. We should be able to get a whole brigade of armed vehicles out of our hell as well as make sure any Jade Dogs who want to fight are better armed then any U.S. infantry trooper.
Yeah, it shifts our craft towards quality over quantity strongly.
 
Eh not so much even an advanced tech hell maxes out at 1 dot potions effects, which is basically nothing once Molly goes up another dot in alchemy path 1 dot potions take 10 minutes max, at 4 dots Molly could reach the point of rapid fire 1 dot potions in mere seconds.
 
Stop: Rule 2 Violation
Just tell him to kill himself. Dude is never going to get it
rule 2 violation
@Acolyte This is not acceptable by any means. Rule 2 - Don't Be Hateful extends to fictional characters as well, including telling them to kill themselves. You've been issued a 25 point infraction and threadbanned for 3 days. Be mindful of yourself and of others in the future.
 
So, next update is probably going to be the vote on what build we're going with for the Kingdom charm... and the update after that we finally get to see it. The start of our future Primordial World-Body. Our personal realm formed from the substance of our soul. A place in the NeverNever made of real matter instead of ectoplasm.

The first true indication some people will get on the true scale of what we actually are. Because even with all that we've done, most people are still low-balling where we fall on the powerscale.

I can't wait to see the realization that Exalts don't exist to play the game like the other major supernatural powers do. Exalted show up to flip the table, and make everyone else play by their rules. We just needed half a year or so to ramp up first before we could show that.
 
Alas yes. Molly is trying not to think about it
Yeah, that would be a bit of an unclean feeling.

Interested in Harry, and instead she goes from cheating drug addict whose mind she broke to the Naagloshi she's going on a murder hunt with before she takes it down. Molly's love life isn't quite what she would have hoped. At least she hasn't eviscerated Carlos.

I think we might be able to afford crafting charm this turn. This requires that we get 29 XP over the arc in total. Which might be doable.
Fingers crossed.

We are looking for Sandra I think?
The woman who set up the events of Splattercon.
So, I checked, and the plan was the following:
[] Plan Obligations and practicing for family
-[] Attend school you have friends at school and you would like the memories of senior year and graduation even if they won't be teaching you anything worthwhile (If neither School nor getting your GED is chosen Molly will systematically skip class)
-[] Restoring the Last Station: Restoration efforts have been going well and according to Adam some more of the people down in the tunnels have shown interest in their newfound wealth and comfort (6/10) [+extra AP from potion]
--[] Use bonus AP
-[] Chariots for the One Eye: As part of her deal to ally against the Will of Kakuri you promised Odin vehicles hit for his warriors, time to show your chops.
-[] The Bridges of the Spirit, continue your training with Brother Divsimar not in the ways of the spirit but the mind, the Bridge of Dreams
-[] A friend in need. You promised Rosie that you would help and so you will, with problems material and ethereal
--[] Talking to the family, you do not like Mrs Wilsom and the feeling is mutual, but as your experience at church yesterday showed you do not have to like someone to turn on the supernatural charm. Maybe you could work something out, or at least explain some of what her daughter is going through
-[] The Seeker Sought given that you can teleport now maybe you can find a Medicine Man of the blood to deal with the Naagloshii. Given what you know of Broken Seeker and his... people now perhaps they would be more inclined to help you deal with them. Even if you do not find any takers you can deal with him.

We did the friend in need, the Bridges of Spirit (I think, this one I don't remember strongly), Chariots for the One Eye, the Seeker Sought is in progress, and is likely to transition to Attend School (to the see the fallout the events have on our friends and help them deal with it), and ends with Restoring the Last Station (where I think we might get a chance to make a second spontaneous buy of the arc and get Constructive Convergence of Principle to cap off the largest project we have accomplished so far).
 
If we end up with two 5 dot charms before we get a single Perfect Defense, I'm gonna cry. That we haven't technically needed a PD despite trading blows with some of the heaviest hitters in DF, on the other hand, shows that high soak can compensate somewhat given the relatively low damage output of DF (I think the most damage we've ever taken were from bullets, despite having fought demons and outsiders in melee).

My desire for the capability to wield tactical nukes is undaunted (Principle-Invoking Onslaught ftw!!!), but given we currently have zero dots in Firearms I wouldn't feel safe using that charm to its fullest capability without a Perfect Defense just in case.

Can we take earhly flora and fauna of our realm in exchange of some of the disadvantages like the resistance movements???
 
[X] Yes: Spend -20 XP Take The King and the Kingdom: The Thousand and First Hell (•••••)

If you have an option to take a Reality Marble/Palace/hidden realm/Domain Expansion/mental world etc, you take it.
 
Well... this looks settled.

Let's see how this scene looks like to Michael and Harry shall we? :V

Arc 8 Interlude 4: Soul's Grace
Soul's Grace

18th of November 2006 A.D.

Not that I was minded to share that fact share but I'm no stranger to dealing with demons. After what Chauncy had done I'd been firm in my decision to stay the -figurative- hell away from them so as not to end up in the literal one. But even at my most daring, call it what it is, reckless I never would have thought to make a deal with something as old, cruel and crazy as a naagloshii so when Molly had said the thing would just hand off its hostages on her word that she'd help him hunt vampires well that had sounded like the opening bell for an ambush to me. Fire flood and earthquake, rain of cats and dogs only the cats and dogs were warlocks, the works. My left hand drifted towards the duster pocket where I kept the Dream-catcher I'd made last week. God, or maybe the Holy People in his case, knew if I'd done a good job at it with only second hand accounts and one broken example to work off of, but it should hold the monster in place at least for a few seconds, long enough for the Sword... the swords to give it the worst day it had in centuries, hopefully its last.

Then the van came, the van went, the demon-thing kept its word which, a good thing for those kids on skateboards going past and the guy in the pizza delivery truck trundling by, but I sure as Winter's heart was cold didn't trust it. Maybe it had messed with their heads, that would be a way to get to Molly if it knew her history and as cunning as it had been so far that was a good bet. Poor kid looked like the was about to start crying just at the sight of them, unconscious on the sidewalk...

It started as a sound, a wind out of out of nowhere whistling that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Magic... magic was pouring into the world, I realized, as though the eldritch mechanism of Molly's power had suddenly started working in reverse, flowing thicker and thicker by the moment from wind to mist, to waves of power lapping at the sharp edges of reality.

"What are you...!" The words died in my throat, as the magic impinged upon the air I realized it wasn't formless at all, the patterns un it had just been written too small for me to see, but now... now from static emerged script, fractal impossibility made real that burned though the eye and the mind as it grew, expanded, breathed.

The air felt heavy and tasted of brass, the air smelled like the Charity's cookies, which I'd been lucky enough to taste only once. I'm soulgazing her... no, that's impossible, I've already....

The MAKERS did not know what they had wrought. They sought... champ... wearing gilded collars, gestalt-reflections of their own magnificence. But the Green Sun... were more... ever ant... Within them slept a greater power than the... own: the power to... nature and be REBORN. A new era is at hand. THE WHEEL TURNS.

The Sight does not work like that, some distant part of my mind says in defiance of the fact that is clearly did as my Inner Eye was blasted open by light and music, space and time.

"Essence my host, that is the Essence of one who is Becoming," I heard Lash whisper into my ear.

"Becoming what?" I asked, for once not even thinking of the implications of who I was asking.

"That which she is." There was something in her voice I had not heard before and it scared the shit out of me, awe.

Do you take Harry and Michael with you into your world-soul?

[] Neither

[] Harry

[] Michael

[] Both


OOC: I know you guys want to get to the hell vote, but I am drawing this out as a sort of moratorium-with-interludes to give more than the normal day or so between updates to debate what you want to do with your hell as well as give people time to finish off any hell-concepts they may have. Initially I had thought of doing Harry and Michael in one go, but the tone of their interludes did not fit together.
