That one only deals damage if people respond to Molly by the way.
Still very effective, but enemies can be instructed to shut up and they won't suffer any damage.

well yeah but most wont know to shut up until its too late.
We have inherently different, probably irreconcilable views on what is and isn't relaxation.
We are talking about enemies who can pass a self-control roll against a social Exalt.
Wont shut down any bosses, and might not even cripple some minibosses.
But the minions? Down.
Like back when we fought the Will of Kakuri and had to deal with lesser akuma providing fire support.
Fire up a taunt, they reply, and suddenly they are all blind.
Anyone who has learned Blind Fighting, or has other senses, is probably good, though.
Its not just relaxation, its family and friends time.
Family time is spending time with the family.
Being in a workshop making things for them is not family time.
The dude who took overtime on his kids birthday to afford the birthday party probably does love his kid.
But he didnt spend time with them.
And at a point, time >>> stuff.

It's attention that matters, not stuff itself. Using our powers for something non-confrontational and even fun. When was the last time Molly used her abilities for something fun?
As to spending time with our close ones - we do. It's just not depicted. We are still living with our family, and have rebuilt our relationship with them. We interact, probably even hang out with our friends.
Attention, yes.
Spending that time doing stuff for someone is not attending to them.
If we spend the next month building someone a computer, or a house, it may be for them, but we arent spending time with them.
Fun is personal time. Sometimes also friend time. Not necessarily family time.
Not really. We explicitly had an option for taking family time to hang out with family and siblings for several turns. We havent taken it.
And there is a Family Time category of potential actions.
Its separate from the making stuff category for a reason.
My two cents.

so @DragonParadox I was curious do you have any uh informationals ready for or in your mind about our hell that their preparing for us? Like economics, important organizations, important people, weapons, services, problems, etc etc?
I have notes on some of that yes, though you should not expect too much math in terms of how the economics works, that is not my forte.

I was more thinking names of businesses and products really than numbers. Its not like we'll ever have to worry about affording something in our hell.

so guys what books should we prepare for our people in hell? On top of whatever the wizards going into our hell are going to teach and provide to them? I think world history, american history, supernatural species books, Laws for the u.s. and european countries, the laws of magic, the accords, a book about modern languages, uh honestly if we can get the books for a standard education from elementary school to college and just hand that out to them sounds like a good idea right?

My worry is more that Molly has to spend essanse on every social interaction with him and we are about to go into a fight. Better if we can have a full tank.

I know we have basically the internet in our hell offhand how old is the internet in our hell? I'm wondering if we have basically hundred year old streamers.

He proved it by getting them to search the guy's room. Apparently the stuff he uses is trivial to identify if you're holding the bottle and he just leaves it lying out where you can find it in a few minutes of searching.
High level prodigies are kind of a headache, but the low level ones could entertaining for silly gifts. Making them mortal approved involves a cost bump, but we can still make it work for very low level stuff or by adding detrimental conditions to their use.

I don't recall what tipped Dresden off, I think it might have been something that came up when he was investing Madeline Raith.

Are you thinking actually useful stuff, or things that are as much about having fun as the advantages involved?

Lydia: A pair of stiletto heels that have better stability and protection than high grade boots. I haven't forgotten her giving us shit about being a magical girl, the natural retaliation is to make her best footwear for a fight into Hollywood grade combat heels. 
Izzy & Alec: Groucho Marx glasses that disguise the wearer's identity, but always in some way the user would find embarrassing.
Daniel: An unfolding shield like Molly's enchanted to always be at hand when he need it (surprisingly this is a one dot effect).
Matthew: Glasses that make it easier to read Japanese, but flash menacingly when he pushes them up. Because weeb.
Leech: Improbably Useful multi-tool (difficulty reducer for the physical crafting part of her robotics thing. Enchantment only functions if she whistles while she works.
Amanda, Hope, & Harry: FCF themed blaster toys that shoot sparkly looking (but entirely safe) beams.
Micheal: Grilling shoes that act as better than high grade boots. So he can take his dad energy with him when fighting Denarians.
Charity: An incredibly mundane looking hammer that is always in reach when she needs it.

to fuck with harry we could just get him a gold bar or something. A lot of harrys stuff would be helped if he didn't have financial issues. I'd like to give him a safe but super realistic light saber. But, we've already had this discussion.

It seems there was some brain damage after all
The less we have to speak to BS the better. I don't want Molly burning through essence just to talk with him before we ambush the Reds.

Fair enough.
He lured him out.
Long explanation below:
After he discovered that Madeline Raith was working for the baddies and had already called the White Council with an anonymous tip, he called the White Council switchboard himself, declared that he had been sheltering Donald Morgan for several days, and that he had definitive evidence that Morgan was innocent via an informant, and they could come get him if they wanted on Demonreach.
Demonreach being what it is, there is no direct Way that ends up on the island.
So anyone coming there from Edinburgh has to pass through Chicago.
His bet being that the traitor at Edinburgh couldnt afford to ignore such a declaration.
Even if the traitor thought he'd covered all his tracks, he would have to check. Before the White Council could get to Morgan and get him back to Edinburgh.
So Dresden arranged for multiple factions to show up at the same time
- Three Senior Council members + a Warden high threat team,
- A White Court vampire assault team looking to rescue Thomas, and to capture/kill Madeline Raith if she shows up
- Madeline Raith and Binder looking to capture/kill Morgan
- The naagloshii looking to exchange Thomas for Morgan
- Peabody and an unknown second person showed up a little after the White Council and Whampires, with NeverNever spiderfae summons
Fight breaks out.
The naagloshii showing up distracts Dresden for most of the festivities, so he never sees or identities Peabody or the second person, who get away clean.And the White Council team never gets close enough to see the perps. The Senior Council can confirm that two attackers showing up is definitive that traitors exist, but it doesnt clear Morgan of the murder.
But as backup Dresden had a mortal PI camping the exit on the fastest Way from Edinburgh to Chicago with a telephoto lens camera to take pictures of anyone who used it that evening.
And Mouse as a credible supernatural witness who could recognize anyone who used the Way.
So the PI photographed the Senior Council members and the Wardens, who were supposed to be there.
AND Peabody, who wasnt supposed to be there. Then Dresden showed the photographs and his explanation to McCoy, and brought Mouse as a witness to the Council assembly/trial.
The photos provided probable cause for McCoy and Ramirez to search Peabody's quarters and turn up physical evidence.
Which in combination with Mouse's identification as a foo dog by Ancient Mai, makes it definitive.
Then Peabody unleashes a mistfiend, which Dresden later calls an Outsider, as a distraction and makes a run for it.

Looking into her death in the quest might give us an actual link to Peabody's business.
It seems unlikely that she'd be in as deep with the black council as Madeline was if her association was new at the time of Morgan's framing.
If we find something tangible we can work out acquiring or fabricating copies of real evidence and have Dresden present it as something he uncovered as an incidental result of investigating the major Outsider activity Molly stumbled into.
He can claim he got critical starting data points from us, like which people were actually working with Outsiders, without it seeming more strange than anything else.

I wouldn't worry Molly not having any common language is only +2 DC at most. You should be able to convey complex idea though pantomime and read though what people really mean better then many natives.

Offhand I know we don't really see any in Dresden files and they're hard to get for anything we have. But, who do you think we'd need to bargain with to get like something similar to a bag of holding? I'm basically any capacity? Maybe Odin or actually Santa if anyone could make one it'd be the guy who holds all the gifts for the children and is a magical god. Cause while not world shattering something like that is definitely worth some level of bargaining.

I could see a bag that is deeply connected to a place in the never-never to the point that the connection maintains even if you move the bag. That seems like the most likely way for a DF wizard to manage because I don't think we ever really see any space bending magic at all.
So Santa might have a bag connected to his workshop.
We should be able to manage something like that connecting to our kingdom once we get the magic item crafting charm. I would actually expect it to be easy because we have already managed the hard part of having a magical kingdom that we are deeply connected to.
