Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Reader mode
Lydia' sheet has been updated.

Also we do not have a lot of votes so I'm going to leave this open for a bit longer.

-[x] Ideally in a moment when others are distracted.

If you want to wait for a distraction you are going to have to properly wait, that is the 'do it later option'. Right now you are in a private audience with the Queen of Summer, everyone is paying attention to everyone else.

The mechanics are very unclear to me. From just reading the crown in document I wouldn't expect anyone to be able to tell we are using it unless they can read Molly's mind, but it is apparently a risk or this vote would be a non vote.

Better to act than not act because of fear the QM is out to get you.

Normally most people cannot tell. This is not a normal sort of place, you are in a room with the Queen of Summer, specifically you are in her room, in the heart of her power. Next to you is the Archive, repository of all mankind's knowledge whose basic function is to gather and make use of information. One or both of them might have a way of noticing someone just fired off high power divination at Lilly.

In other words yes you can cheat, so might they and you do not know enough about how either of them might do so to be sure you are properly shielded from sight.

But we aren't firing it at her, we are firing it at you the one being who by definition knows everything.

I do not exist diegetically in this story. 'Ask the GM' is the same kind of instruction as 'roll willpower' , a mechanical instruction for the players, it does not indicate the IC existence of dice that decide the outcome. Your PC is also interacting with the universe in some way in character.

Well in that case it's still a case that you choose the nature of the interaction. It could be completely passive.

Now if you are saying that the people here might be reading our mind I suppose that is a legitimate concern.

Molly is obtaining information, something is talking to her in character. Is that something the other people in the room with you can sense? Molly is not sure, also in character, that is why we have a vote and you guys have to weigh the risks.
 
Can you guys plz vote to get a full list? There is no reason at all not to. This could be very important we don't know how Nemesis has reacted to Molly's movements or how fast it can jump to knew bodies but we do know that he knows Molly is after him.

Seriously not alot of people have voted but this could be critical time sensitive info.

Worth noting she mentions Fix was there too, so even if you don't particularly care about getting a global list just checking on Lily would miss him.

-[X] Use willpower on any rolls to pierce Nemesis' protections or interpret the results
-[X] [Stunt]: Looking over Lily, a terrible thought lingers in the back of Molly's mind. Wouldn't it just be perfect for the enemy if I cleared Summer of influence and handed a charm to the Summer Lady making her immune to possession and therefore beyond suspicion?
—[X] Deep within something bristled at the idea, an iron wind howling in protest as it grinds across frozen bones. As she opened her crowned eye liminal fire burned within a name carved above a brazen throne, flaring as she strained to see.
—[X] Taking a breath, Molly prepared to reach for a polite nicety or her sword and took the plunge.

We need a stunt, and technically the FCF are part of Molly in a literal sense. So having her stress response or other major charms that are also more like organs than tools manifest in it as well seemed like neat flavor.

I particularly like the throne bit. Molly is essentially invoking her crown to demand answers by her own name after all.
 
That's really good but I think it was posted too late. Hopefully not though.

Yeah for some reason I just realized that Nemesis can probably reinfect those we clear of it unless we give them the ability to not get possessed after. I think we need to give something to Meave at some point and check her again to be absolutely sure.

Although I'd expect that Nemesis would have a way harder time infecting her a second time around.

OK, things are pretty close but given the direction of the voting I think it is safe to close it here.
