What if our presence is actively harmful to it? Have you considered that? What if it's not a person at all, but an automated system? Rocks pretending to be divinity. We need to know what is going on before confronting or not confronting the being/thing causing this.
Considered and dismissed as implausible.
Its operating in Las Vegas, the catchment area of a Sin-Eater, and a city that feels wrong enough that no White Council wizard is willing to live here. If that wasnt an issue for the spirit, Molly isnt likely to be.
You can roll when it makes sense, but if you are missing context or are wrong, lots of dice don't help, as I understand it. You just become wrong grander.
Not how it works, as far as Im aware.
Because Exalted are bullshit that way; if you are missing context or are wrong, thats represented mechanically by an increased DC.
Furthermore, the Dresdenverse has established community standards for this sort of thing.
Not a given at all. Lydia could well be right - it could be an autoamted divine artifact. And we don't know if these guys can function in the modern supernatural world. They are newcomers. We don't know how well they operate. Like, both Order of Cauldron and fomori are forces in the modern world, with very different etiquette requirements.
See above.
If it was that sensitive, it wouldnt be viable in Las Vegas, which was literally established by the power of a demon.
They are not newcomers; Adkin has been at this since Victorian times.
The Spring Resort is canonically Summer Court territory; thats why Arlene was surprised at their somehow getting permission to set up a temple here.
Not everyone is an accord signatory. And customs can differ a lot. And Dresden is a bad example. You can have a cult and not know what the Laws are for quite some time, as shown by Charity's cult.
You dont need to be an Accord signatory to know what the Rules are.
And the Accords are largely a formalization of existing supernatural community rules and standards.
They arent a mystery.
Charity's cult was a magic cult led by a young man bargaining with randos for power.
This is a religious cult led by an old dude who has been worshipping for decades, and has sufficient standing to negotiate with the Summer Court to use one of their outposts.
They arent comparable situations.
At the same time they were called children of Nergal, I think. I'm not sure this is not a "son of a dog" or some other variant - essentially a swear. Like calling them bastards.
Fair enough.

COMMENTARY
Rolling 11 dice on a Perception + Awareness roll in whats supposed to be its own temple?
Yeah, that isnt a god. It might be a spirit servitor of a god, or an automaton provided for one, but its not the god herself.
Be courteous, but if it starts shit, we're ending it.
Poor cow. Maybe Lash can keep it alive?
Man, I like this Cobbler dude; for a minor character thats made only a minor appearance, he's made a pretty strong impression.
He has balls, and thinks quickly on his feet.
Lets kill him and loot his stuff.
Assuming this is him, and not some mook Blampire that he created and is Dominating from a distance.
