Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)
- Thread starter DragonParadox
- Start date
- Crossover Fantasy
Three reasons:
1) Politics - he's too visible and too high ranked in a known large scale organization. He's not an independent operator
2) Convenience - transporting him is not easy
3) This would leave Chicago way too unchecked.

We might as well spend half and a hour in our court both ways when doing pickup and dropoff to recover our essence. Still quicker than a car ride.
Fair enough.
Harry wouldnt go for it.We could put a demon in the plane technically. I see no way this could go wrong.
Too much apparent risk to civilians for no apparent gain.
This is a great suggestion.
Not if you spend 30 minutes in Rendered Villain Dispersal + Charred Sinner Renewal.
And while bringing people into Sanctuary costs 2m, bringing them out does not appear to cost
Chicago to Brass Courts for Vegas Party: -2m Essence, <30 seconds.
Molly returns to Last Station, spends 30 minutes soaking in bleach to recover Essence: +2m Essence, -30 minutes
RVD to Las Vegas via the Colorado River: ~1minute
Retrieve guests: ~1minute
Total time: 35 minutes.
Flight time from Chicago to Las Vegas by commercial flight: 4 hours.
That would allow you to recover what you spend on the way in not the way out, still down two essence, but yeah it seems more viable. Molly will do it this way. (no sense in having a vote, I don't want this to drag).
Good thing you guys reminded me she could do this.
Harry is literally the only trained and experienced investigator here. And the only one who can summon Wyldfae.
Cant afford to leave him behind. And this entire thing isnt going to last more than a weekend max; more likely to be a day or so, since Molly only needs an hour of sleep.
Lash is Willpower 8.
Only so much babying she requires, and we actually do need to extend trust if we are trying to build a relationship.
Not to mention everything else she brings to the investigation.
We REALLY dont want to find out her tolerances and limits when the Denarians show up.

By the way do we know what a sin eater is for purpose of this quests setting?
Nope.
Im guessing its at least a minor Incarna, something at least as powerful as Broken Seeker.
Probably more so, given that its been gorging on power for at least a century and is supposed to hold a gate closed.

If we were more prepared we probably should of asked Bob before leaving. Given they might not know there are as many things Bob doesn't know as he does after all worlds a big place.
To be fair, they are already expecting us, or someone like us.
Maeve already tried to open contact on this matter and has been ignored by the Red Dragon and members of his entourage.
Not rebuffed, but ignored. If I was Sandra, I would expect that Winter would respond to this sort of thing once they found out my location by calling in a favor or ten, and prepare accordingly. And Winter has a LOT of favors.
Being loaded for a small war is only prudent.
Bob is for all his deep lore not very useful in this instance. You do not have enough information to ask him about the magical topography and the politics of this place dates back to when he was in Kemmler's possession so has serous gaps in his memory

I was more thinking what is a sin eater.
A kind of demon. Sadly he does not have much insight on their either as the people who actually bound the thing were A) Long before his time and B) On a different continent. If you had more to give him he might have been able to contextualize it to something familiar, but as is... well Maeve did not give you a lot of work with.

Welp, good night guys, see you in the morning as Molly Carpenter goes to Vegas
Pay not attention to the sound in the distance, that is just Charity pretending to be a tea kettle

thats fairish there are likely countless kinds of demons out there he can't know them all. Surprised he doesn't even know rumors though he knows plenty of Asian, American, and European creatures in canon.
So when are we going to let them stretch their legs then? Because they're potential targets so long as outsiders capable of possession can access reality.
If we can't deploy them to get their feet wet directly under our supervision then there's no situation where they're really secure.

Maintaining the Agenda is our top priority
Do recall that Harry is an independent investigator with his number in the phone book. He does things on his own without representing the White Council all the time.
Considering the advantage he could give us with his specialty as a Starborn and investigator think its well worth the hassle of bringing him.
We should be gone for a week at most it's not like someone wants to destroy the place right now. Frankly this seems like a higher priority even if someone did considering what we recently learned of Nemesis.

Being starborn in this continuity means having an old soul and I know it means they were enlightened in a past past past ad infinum life ago. But, some of those souls from long ago were probably exalted right even if only very few?
There can only be so many Incarna before the term starts to lose meaning. I think it'd make sense to model it as a weaker spirit cheating on its fuel requirements to overuse its strongest abilities. Like a demon who's storyteller didn't properly enforce the throttle on pacts but didn't allow enough exp to buy up all the most broken abilities.

In canon in the nevernever I'm not sure Mab is that big a deal Hades is approximately her equal, plenty of other pantheons exist, most just don't have much access to the world and when they do they hit the nerf bat if they want to play actual game. Naagloshi are pretty big deals and their in the lowest level security of demonreach there are 6000 entities in demonreach. With dark gods, nightmares, nameless things, and immortals as listed inhabitants of it. So I'm really unsure it really is overused?
Edit: Given I imagine this quest setting is while plenty of shit exists is less bullshit than normal dresden files in amount of frankly quite bullshit powers. Cause canon is a multiverse and we've already been told in wog things can blow up the universe other than angels. So nerf bat probably exists in quest and there are probably far less things on Mabs level and higher than I imagine exist in canon.

Mab isn't a good person by many reasonable metrics, but she is an important one with genuinely trying to do an important job. She personally took the power of the people who mythologically speaking killed Balor himself in the first place.
Hades is powerful, but his job has "only" ever been to look after the souls of the ancient Greeks. Important? Yes. But on every practical level Winter is filling a more critical role and he hasn't eaten a lion's share of a pantheon lately.
