I almost feel bad for Mikaboshi. Almost.
Actually, could we theoretically pull a coup d'etat?

Sweet. The metabolic realities of denser bone structures weren't exactly on my mind but I should probably have that.
Yeah this is weird primium countermeasure the technos somehow weaving this innate counter magic directly into mage's bodies without affecting their ability to do magic and I don't quite get how that's possible maybe it's like an Attunement like thing but yeah that makes sense that for sorcerer's version you would need to train it or like get used to having it or something like that.
He's very, very, powerful here and we didn't set up for that. I'm against trying to pull an assassination when even a small slip could bad end the quest on the spot.
instead we should proceed with putting the plague in the whole city's air supply and taking Joe back, then periodically kick Mikaboshi while he's down until we have time to invade properly.
Usum: I knew you would come around to my advice eventually glorious majesty. First you need to pull out his beating heart, or equivalent organ then...
Basically Try and Find Out, but the demon in your head does have instructions.
It's like trying to kill Molly in her own Hell. The five billions of her subjects would be glad to rip you to shreds. Mikaboshi may not have people loyal to him out of love but I doubt he doesn't have his own army to throw at intruders.

We've already had so much mission creep it's more creep than mission. We should keep this next part as simple as possible and stop biting off more before we've even started chewing the last chunk.
Yeah. Let him baste in hyper rebel pox until we have time to put him out of our misery.

Dragon Paradox wasn't the plan to spend willpower instead of essence?
Fixed, thanks for the reminder.

Like I said, I want to get this over with so we'd better go straight to Joe, and although it's going to be a contested idea, I think we should split up. It doesn't take all of us to come to the rescue him and the most quickly the plague take effect, the fewer guards or opposition we will encounter.
[X] You know where Joe Magarac is, where the plague should be triggered, fly in now and trust to the Shikome disguises to carry you
-[X] Split up so that you can do both objectives at once

BWAHAHAHAHA. *Wipes tear.* That's one Hell of a welcome mat.
Still, better stay focused.
In, out, shake it all about.

Yeah.
But Im really curious about Perdition's Edge. Especially with the fact that we're rolling at -6DC right now.
I really want a preliminary look,
Hell no. NEVER split the party unless you have absolutely no other options.
Better to risk a fight with Molly having a -6DC buff than to split up and risk the group without Molly biting off more than they can chew.
Especially since Molly is the person who gets the benefit of TLF + BSM + CCC.
Tiffany and Lydia would both be subject to the effects of All is Poison outside of Molly's presence, which can scale from +1DC to +3 DC depending on area. Nergui might not, but I wouldnt bet on it.

I only know this through other people talking about it on this forum, but aren't there exeptions, notably Shadowrun, to that rule?
Cause we are in Shadowrun territory right now, just with an OP character.

I can vote for going in a group but I'm totally against wasting more time on another sidequest. We can see the Perdition's Edge when we conquer Mikaboshi's weakened hell in the future.
I dont really have much Shadowrun experience, but nothing Im aware of makes them an exception
We're in a Hell with a bunch of permanent AoE debuffs to intruders, and the only person with a permanent counter to it is Molly.
I cite:
Splitting up increases the chance that whoever isnt with her will fail or run into a major response force unawares.
Thats a hard pass for me.
There is no option for a side quest at the moment.
Just either sneak into Perditions Edge, or go loud from here.
Joe Magarac is in Perditions Edge anyway, according to our last information.
Unless that has changed in the several hours between Molly doing her research, and her arrival.
Either way, I want to sneak in first and confirm before going loud.
And it also gathers information that might be useful to Molly later. Crown foci, people's faces, and the like.

This is like a Shadowrun mission you're running against an Aztechnology black project that has gone completely 'mask off', has Horrors roaming the corridors, and Harlequinn has decided to tag along for the funsies. In such cases, you stick to Harlequinn like he literally glued you to his ass.

[X] Try to infiltrate Perdition's Edge in the guise of an Akuma before starting the raid in earnest
Confirm that no one has moved Joe Magarac from where he was at last check(Perdition's Edge) before going loud.
It will also also allow Molly(and Lydia. And Lash.) to gather further intelligence that might be useful in the future, from divination foci to the faces of people and servitors.

I'm not sure what we could get out of infiltrating tbh, though I'm pretty sure we can manage it. I mean, perfect disguise plus an all but guaranteed unwillingness to question a superior…

Is Clippy recording everything as always, or is it somehow dangerous for her to do so?
This is probably stressful for Clippy. We should do something nice for her after this.
Should have been strands, fixed thanks
As for Clippy, he would be rather noticeable seeing as she is earth tech, so no she is not out.

Last it should be is.
the strands of a web camera are here might flow a bit better.
Fixed, thanks.
Shouldn't that be -7 (-3 CCC, -3 TLF, -1 BSM)? Also, I see that Lash didn't buff us. Ok, this means she can do this now.

-[X] Do the objectives sequentially, with the understanding that even with the worst possible reaction time from the Wardens you will have to deal with outside security
-[X] Have Lash improve everyone's dexterity as much as possible before starting to move
You still suffer from [Minor] All is Poison which makes it 'just' -6.

We should take advantage of these DC adjustors to try and get some forbidden knowledge from otherwise impossible sources; even the Crown requires a DC 9 to get info on Nemesis, but here we can get secrets on its plans and regenerate that lost Essence, two birds with one stone.
Time can flow differently in the NeverNever, so I dont think we can expect Molly to know how much time has passed since we entered Yomi Wan.
But I would strongly suggest confirming with our own two eyes that our target is still in Perditions Edge where we last scryed him, and that the conditions havent changed.
BEFORE doing anything.
