No, that is alread counted in on our health-levels on the frontpage.
Otherwise there would be -2.

You are right that should have been 10 dice with the stunt
Re-rolls... Molly is still good, dear God the dice want this poor vampire to die.
lol.
Here's the ruling I was thinking of for the other thing by the way:
It's not explicit so I can see it going either way, but since we have to choose between healing 4 lethal and 1 Agg in an hour I think there's still an argument that doubling our lethal recovery could "fill" the requirement faster.
Your normal healing from 'wounded' level which is where you are now would be 2 days so going with halving Molly would heal the agg in 1 day as opposed to the 9 hours of healing one level per hour.
Okay. I was hoping to apply CSR to EIPP's 9 hours so we could be ready again in 4.5, but healing enough damage to disintegrate a regular mortal overnight is already pretty bullshit.

So, the Vampire-soul issue overshadowed it a bit, but wtf is up with Ra there?
Is that a damaged AI from prior ages?

Well it does appear to be talking Old Realm, and it is Old Realm not Enochean, it does not have Tiffany's accent.
Is it actually resolved? In the chapter Lydia is still talking about how it's not actually dead.
Did we split Nate's soul like a wishbone or something?

Huh..so then we are going to use our boss killing power to heal. Yet another reason having ox-body benefits us, if we try to roll Shintai again during a boss fight later it might not pop off now and we'd be relying on our ox-body to take any hits and not die.
Healing from a conceptual attack in 2 days normally isn't bad at all though. Diplomancy will be an even higher priority with the sin eater later on though since we won't have a guarenteed combat heal or powerup.

Okay, so three important points I can see:
1. Something has a claim to this Blampire's soul and throws a lot of dice at securing it at little notice and great distance. Path of the Sepulcre has a power to summon souls, but to use it in the instance of Nate's death means the caster must have had either a very strong connection to Nate (being his Sire?) or some kind of direct line of information to him, which isn't impossible since we know that Blampires can possess their lesser kin, so seeing through their eyes is probably an option for someone who had time to tinker with Necromancy.
2. Something about Ra is definitely weird, and not just in a normal spirit or god way. Speaking Old Realm and talking like a computer on the verge of breakdown are clear signs of weird shit going on.
3. We have just gotten a reminder why we have Steelskin, VLE and spend an action on parry no matter what else we do. High-end combat in WoD is not as hilariously lethal as in Exalted, but it can still chew through more than half of our health in a round if we don't actively try to defend ourselves.

COMMENTARY
General wakeup call about making assumptions about the ability of other people to hurt us.
And a reminder that Ox-Bodies are awesome.
No wonder Cobbler was feeling quite so confident about mouthing off to Molly.
Thats better than greater akuma immortality; the Will of Kakuri and its overlord didnt get an opposed roll when we blenderized its soul. The fact that this unknown Black Court vampire elder gets one for its minions has unpleasant implications re: power levels and affinities.
But it does validate the theory that a united council of the old Black Court's elders, could have contested Mab in a white room scenario. Thats at least a Methuselah, btw, if not an Antediluvian.
Which means there's at least 1x 5-dot reagent walking around in this universe.
I dont recognize the power used though; Path of the Sepulcher has nothing in its tree that would have allowed this.
Maybe Bone Path? Or Cenotaph Path?
Or something custom?
Cobbler's dead.
We need to remember to loot his pockets, and find where he used to sleep so we can loot any Egyptian shit he surrounded himself with.
We're down to 40% Health, and currently suffering a -1 wound penalty.
Molly's EIPP can heal Agg, but that takes 1 hour per HL, so she would need 9 hours of rest to heal everything.
Molly doesnt currently have the Great Beast charm, which would heal this.
Lash's Lore of Flesh can heal bashing and lethal, but not Agg; she would need Lore of Awakening for that.
A bakemono with Gift: Mother's Touch or Gift: Grandmother's Touch could do it, but we dont have one around right now.
I am not currently aware of any health potion that heals agg.
Regeneration potion might be able to do it, but thats Alchemy 4 IIRC, and I doubt we can find anything that potent off the shelf even in the Brass Courts.
Without Exalted speed boosters, advanced alchemy shit takes time to make, and will degrade in storage, so they shouldnt have any just lying around. Especially since Brass Court cosmology means they can just die and return.

A god wouldnt have been duped in its own temple by a Black Court vampire that doesnt even count as an elder.
Did the Egyptian pantheon salvage and empower some Age of Legends-era constructs?
Because thats what it looks like to me.

The closest option I can see would be Summon Ghost, the level 2 power.
Using it in this way, the very moment he goes from being a vampire to being a ghost, should be borderline impossible, especially contesting a soul-eating Charm with it, but I can see how DP could interpret it that way.
And if the baseline makes it look at least vaguely possible, then some ancient Necromancer can make a version that does allow this trick.
It is a ritual based on that yes. Keep in mind in every vampire of the Black Court even one that was made yesterday there lives a shard of the same darkness that animates their master, down and down the thread of making to whatever elder evil first crawled into a corpse and proclaimed it to be the house of its unclean being.
Dracula's currently one of the ice statues in Mab's garden, along with, among others, the French politician de Riechlieu and the god Anansi. Dunno if he's alive, but he's there, with his alleged lover.
Drakul is the one who's up and about.
Fair enough.
Sounds like something a bloodline curse would deal with.
Wrong priorities.
Identify, FIRST.
And be damn sure that you have the right permissions before even bothering to spend Crown foci whether or how how it can be repaired; doesnt matter if you can fix it if approaching it gets you stabbed with an Agg spear.
Spirit construct just shanked Molly badly enough that she's going to, at best, spend almost half of the coming day in recovery.
Its original functions and loyalties should be of deep concern.
Be damn sure it doesnt default to hostility before you think of repair/healing to factory specs.
Even if this was of Solar origin, its worth recalling that Solars were quite capable of distrusting or hating each other.
And we're not a Solar. We're an Infernal.
Save the Crown questions for AFTER we get a status and/or permission to approach Stabby McStabface.
With that in mind:

Its been less than four minutes since we started talking to the construct.
Etiquette Excellency should still be active. Use Age of Legends etiquette to request a status report.
So simply asking this thing whats wrong has a fair chance of working, even with Molly suffering a -1 dice wound penalty.
Burning a single WP dot to activate ATB because Molly is due to regenerate 1WP by dawn.
And she needs as many buffs in this scenario as she can get.
We want Cobbler's gun because presumably a bog-standard Glock off the shelf is not going to be able to damage a god-construct thing. So we both want to know what was done to it, and we can use it as a Crown focus to either find his lair with his other loot, or ask other questions.
Like who his Sire is.

Ok this sounds a lot better. We did just get shanked so we should verify before trying to repair it.

I think Uju is too paranoid, again.
Ask the questions first, then do the rest, not the other way round.

I mean, the update all but spell out that we have limited time to do things, waiting to asks the very important questions is just asking to not be able to do anything.
