Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

"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.
That right there is an amazing bit, and also the reason we shouldn't pick a broom closet hell. This is the shit you become a planet after starting.

This is very personal on one level, but I think we need the other perspectives to moderate what's going on. Being entirely in Molly's head would lessen the impact.
 
Incidentally the snippet Harry (partially) Saw is the introduction to Heretical Charms in The Broken Winged Crane, which is both a sourcebook for Second Edition and an in character text that changes with time.

So, I am guessing that either some of the infoblocks are coming loose on Lash due to being in the immediate presence of an awakening Primordial, or she has deduced something, or she blatantly lied to us about not knowing what we are (unlikely, in my opinion).

If she is just realizing what we are... what are the chances she'll switch sides to team Molly? I mean, a friendly Primordial is a very good thing to have at your back.

And, ok. Fine,

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.

So I guess this answers if we're being particularly noisy too. Poor Chicago. :V

Not quite full protagonist power, but still a good showing considering his head didn't explode.

Just out of curiosity, is this the sort of exposure that he can learn from as a wizard? They're all about weird information, but I'm not sure if he's the type to be able to see fractal essence growth displace the edges of reality and retain an impression to help with his gate spell equivalent, rune carving, or whatever.

@DragonParadox, just checking, I assume we are also taking Izzy and Alec with us whatever we choose, as the Molly's in character impetus behind Kingdom acquisition indicated, and not leaving them unconscious on the sidewalk for however long we would be absent?

Yes, this is the kind of thing that can lead to a deeper understanding of magic, mechanically a higher Arette. Hell if he keeps getting blasted with Age of Legends lore he might get a very exotic specialization out of it

Yes, you are taking them regardless.
 
Well, that's just more reason to take him with us. I still have hopes for an endgame Twilight Solar Harry exalting with "oh, so that's how her bullshit works".
Still disagree with that by the way.

Throwing away years of training and more years of practical experience for an entirely new powerset would be a waste.

Mages are one of the few splats who can easily stay relevant near Exalted and so he should.

Harry won't ever forget his view of our apotheosis into a Queen of Hell. Not so much due to the momentous nature of the event, but because it blasted his Sight open and what the Sight sees it always remembers. You're welcome, Harry!

Harry now has a fragment of literal Yozis holy text forever inscribed into his memory, on the plus side if he had rolled 5+ successes he would have seen 'Yozis' instead of 'MAKERS' which, because he was not actually reading text, but bearing witness to an act of cosmic significance, would have come with a vague understanding of what the Yozis were (?) mutilated world-creating titans, turned demons who became their own Hells.
 
The Exalted shoving every Primordial up Malfeas' asshole before turning him inside out and shoving him inside his own ass was truly a t-pose of dominance. Hopefully, Molly won't suffer the same fate as those world-creating Titans! :grin:

It is worth keeping in mind that as a Green Sun Princess Molly is one of those Exalted, or the reincarnation of one at least. She both did the thing and later tried to undo the thing.

It's too bad he didn't then, because it seems like he has enough information that with that bit of lore he could put a lot together about Molly/infernals.
