Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Not particularly.
Molly is an Infernal Exalt, and thus a Solaroid, and that only worked for Sanctuary natives who were all already sworn to the service of the Empress that Was To Come.
Ok, let's use tree statue zombie hack. Because that's what it is.
I wouldn't delay her defense for it, but I think the ability to deploy one or two hundred drones probably has more impact on her combat effectiveness than a weapon of the same grade would.
She doesn't have essence for so many, not unless she relocates to a dragon nest.
@DragonParadox
Which skill does Molly use to play Gateway? Occult?
Leadership:
That would be an Intelligence Leadership roll

-[X] Use leadership excellency

-[X][Stunt] "Not in this life, no. There are so few that remember it, after all. Rare as True Gold, one could say."

Sure, I'm intrigued.
 
I think it's been ruled that MiS is automatic.
The person has to individually make that decision, and Molly has to extend the offer
We cant just bestow it on someone who isnt in service.

INT+Leadership, it is a war game.
*checks*
Intelligence 4, Leadership 3, and an Excellency.
So 14 dice, 16 dice with a stunt.
BSM for a 1-DC buff.

QUESTION
1)Whats the forfeit?

2)Can we ask Lash for a tune up? Flesh 3 will bump her Intelligence, and Awakening 3 will heal any damage.
And more importantly, should we? Molly is Etiquette 5, she should be able to tell us whats within the rules, what the Fae will respect, and whats against the spirit of the rules.
 
Choosing to take that as a compliment, it's a little late to take it as anything else, you help Mother Summer up. At first she feels a lot heavier than she aught to be, you are resolved to do it and so it is.
This seems like something that might have unintended consequences.

Does make me wonder what sort of splendor it would take to completely flout this rule for both of the mothers.

[] Businesslike: No time to be distracted, you'll speak of this later

[] Impulsive: Spend one of Winter's Favors for that Artifact
[] Write in
Using a favor for it would get us the artifact, but probably counts as boring to the fey which isn't ideal for networking. So let's play a game.

We need a good stunt though.

I thought about this, but it probably opens Opal to getting help from Mothers. Not worth the risk.

Oh.
I thought we were playing one of the Mothers, not Opal. If its Opal, then probably just the Leadership Excellency and BSM, since we're planning on showing those off anyway as part of the crafting exercise.

You guys can change it with a write in, but by default it's making a Splendor of her choosing with her resources

It would be rather gauche yes. Gateway is not a team sport
 
I've got to agree with @uju32 on the charm thing. Lydia is a weird pseudo exalt and her excellency being good doesn't change that. The power scales stop meaning anything if everyone converges at solaroid because we want to squeeze as much power as we can from them.

Terrestrial charms should probably not be given the same leeway celestial and especially Solaroid ones are as a matter of course.

She's apparently been using multiple nests controlled by ghosts across the city. If she buries them in those locations when she's not using them she can draw however many she wants into

Has much as the AP pains me I'm almost as interested in that as I am in winning. Not paying for it means we can make some wild stuff.

Wildly irresponsible use of cosmic power you say? Did you think adding the saltiest primordials to solars would make them more responsible with their knickknacks? :V

Opal is a Raksha old enough to remember Creation. Don't underestimate her.

We don't know if Lydia is a pseudo-exalt. I still say that Kemmler delved deep, unearthed something, and possible tortured a family line of dragonblooded for their exaltation.

That's... ok, that can be kinda terrifying, but hell, why not?

Im nervous about blank check guarantees to unknown Fae.
But I am curious.
Fair enough.

"You had my curiosity" you say, taking a deep drink, then gesturing with the bottle "but now you have my attention." You empty the remnants over your head. "Lets play." You hesitate, remembering your manners. "Uh, by your leave mothers."

I don't think he'd have given it away if he had one. It's possible that her mother was dragon blooded and that's how she ended up with Arwan in the first place, but that's about as far of a stretch as I think is viable.

It is stuff like remembering Gateway that really makes me want to pick up some dots in Past Lives. Not for the mechanical benefits, but for the narrative and lore that Molly might get out of it.
 
If we are doing it may as well go all the way.
