Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

[X] Plan Making Choices
-[X] Explain the medical situation to Alec and Izzy and present the options available.
-[X] Ask them to think on it for a few minutes, then make a choice when she taps them on the hand. At which point she'll use divination to learn what they decided on.
—[X] Use the crown targeted at the scene to pick up what choice they made.
-[X] Proceed with the treatment options they select

The point of this is to give them back some control of the situation and to respect their right to bodily autonomy. We don't need to compound the helplessness they're already feeling.

Seems like the best and safest option, also the quickest from the perspective of Izzy and Alec, would be to sedate both of them so that they are unconscious while the paralysis effect runs its course.

[X] Rather than delay treatment to find a more qualified physician or rely on the mystical solutions we or Harry might be able to come up with, ask that Izzy and Alec be sedated so they can comfortably sleep off the effects of the paralysis.

I really like these, so, by your powers combined

Incidentally, does this guy not know of the dreaded "boss' boss knows your name" syndrome? :V

We know who Ameli is now, if we're going to ask questions there are considerably better than even odds we'll ask after whoever we're familiar with and associate with the topic.

Whatever their day jobs were before everyone named in the last few scenes has an 80%+ chance of getting yoinked for advisor duty even if we didn't go out of our way to keep them around specifically.

No reason not to include all reasonable options, though I doubt they'll be interested in being helpless for that long.

With a word of command Harry conjured a light behind him that makes his shadow lengthen to the far wall. "I am Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden peace a wizard of the White Council I come in peace."

Harry just gave his full name when introducing himself. Which is a big no-no with Wizards. Because:

DragonParadox said:
By the time introductions are done and the Exarchs of the city had been properly notified to a meeting later today the head doctor, a blue-capped seta who somehow gives the impression of being cheerfully chubby despite being an enormous somewhat cybernetically enhanced flying mushroom explains what is wrong with your friends.

It's not as bad as you feared, but it is worse than you hoped.

"They are awake, aware, listening to us right now, but their ability to control their own bodies has been cut off, full paralyses for six hours. I could attempt to revive them sooner, but I am not very experienced in working with the entirely unenhanced. That would require a paediatrician."

"Or a zoologist," Ameli notes punctiliously.

You don't pay any attention. "Izzy, Alec it's OK, we are going to fix this."

They don't move. Of course they don't and of course Broken Seeker would not think of 'just' being locked into your own body as terrifying. You send a mental curse the skinwalker's way. He must have woken then up just as he was handing them off, it might have even be some twisted attempt to do you a favour by making them feel grateful for the rescue,

After considering what you know about the local herbs, minerals and other reagents you realize you know enough to brew the correct tea, to balance their chi. But it is going to take a bit longer than either letting the healers do their best or...

"Enchantments like this aren't my strong suit for obvious reasons, but I know how to break someone out of a trance and back to their natural state," Harry offers.

If I'm not mistaken Izzy is a White Court Vampire. And not one Dresden trusts.

This works. Also includes the people being treated who are in fact aware right now. Good job @BronzeTongue.

I do wonder how Molly translated 'Wizard' considering that is not a concept that the FCoF is familiar with? Did she call him a 'manyfold-sorcerer' or something along those lines?

Thaumaturge-sorcerer-scholar, closest she could get and he sounds like a dilettante because of it, the kind of person who dabbles in three kinds of magic, two of them with heavy cybernetic support. Of course he does not have any implants :V

Just out of curiosity, do the local sorcerers have a sight equivalent?

It's not clear to me if this is a case* of their traditions being radically different, or if the FFCF are strictly worse at magic.

* the existing of wizards I mean.

It is vastly different at magic, their divinations do not include something like the Sight as standard, but they do have various divination-focused path magic and techno-sorcerous artefacts that give one spirit sight.

[X] The doctors can handle it, lack of experience with the unenchanted or no they are healers
-[X] If they need a pediatrician, suggest teleconferencing one
-[X] Spend time explaining what is happening and calming your friends, even if they can't answer you

So they are mostly worse at 'pure' magic, but they make up the difference with their magitech giving them a lot of widespread consistency with a lower amount of 'personal flavor' that more traditional magic has? Besides sorcerer paths of course, but that might be more standardized to them as well.

A lower amount of on the fly flexibility yes, they do not have spheres, they have paths. That said they can do some things most wizards would struggle with, like for instance make efficient prosthetics. Just ask Ancient Mai, the foremost golem crafter of the White Council how easy it is to just make a limb that it as good as a biological one... and she will send you to a healer to regrow it.

Could Harry get purpose-built magical foci here, ones which incorporate magitech, that would not require constant upkeep on his part?

If maintenance on his regular magical tools didn't eat up a significant part of his free time, Harry could get a lot more accomplished, from extra training to simple leisure.

He might, the problem is that none of the enchanters here understand wizardry so there would be a lot of trial and error involved. He would be better off trying for some other kind of magic item, like a mag-rail pistol, that is what palace security uses for the most part and those are good for putting down even high soak enemies.

Question about police/guards and weaponry, in a world where killing a criminal or enemy is pretty much synonymous with them escaping, how advanced is non-lethal, disabling, and crippling weaponry? I would honestly expect any criminal in the FCoF to carry suicide pills on themselves as a 'get out of jail free' card, unless the government is very good at predicting respawn locations.
 
Well respawns can take a long time to happen and from the perspective of harm prevention it doesn't really matter if the criminal is in jail or reforming.

We have also heard that exile is also a common punishment.

Also if a criminal kills themselves rather than face justice seems like a good chance that they end up in the labyrinth prison.
