[X] Try to figure out what the time freeze bomb did to Nergui (Wits Occult; Excellency still active)
COMMENTARY
Timestop bombs. Way to stoke my paranoia.
Countermagic just jumped WAY up on my priority list.
We killed a Warden.
Murder is Meat should proc for that, I think.
QUESTION
Can we see the running Warden? All Things Betray is still active, and that gives -3 DC to Perception rolls.
If we can see it, MHM can grapple him no problem; its a line of sight ability.

At least we have a Shaping Defense against that kind of nonsense.

This will be a fine addition to our collection of weapons.

Yup. We and Lydia do.
Most of our allies dont, though. So Countermagic and Counterweaving/Unweaving is going WAY up in importance.

QUESTION
This shouldnt cost an extra action.
Mind Hand Manipulation is line of sight:
All Things Betray is still active, giving us -3DC to Perception rolls.
Thats in addition to TLF, CCC and BSM still being active and giving another -5 DC; we should be able to snag this guy without even moving.
Taking the time to figure out what that bomb did is going to be a skill roll just the same and will take focus since you are dealing with strange magic, that is an action. You could try to flurry them and take +1 DC to both. They are different kinds of actions.

It's shackles, and I think that tainted Yin should be used once.
Also, strength is misspelled in the warden pinned notice.
Did the drones only have one hit box or something? SCCP doesn't do very much damage IIRC?

-[Stunt] You ignore the billowing clouds of yellow steam, broken idols effortlessly protecting you from shards of broken wires and rusted pipes. It's a good thing I got my tetanus shot, you think, letting morbid humor overcome the flash of fear.

The slaver drones took most of their damage from Lash, that 1 Bashing Damage put them over the edge
Okay.

RATIONALE
Grabbing the Warden with MHM:
Normal difficulty is ~6DC
We have a -5 DC bonus (TLF 3 + CCC 3 + BSM 1 - All Is Poison 2)
20 dice (Int+Occult + Excellency + Stunt 2)
Examining the Timestop Effect:
Normal difficulty is ~6DC
-5DC bonus ( TLF 3 + CCC 3 + BSM 1 - All Is Poison 2)
18 dice(Wits 3 + Occult 5 + Excellency 8 + Stunt 2)
A +1DC malus to doing both at the same time wont materially affect our efforts. We should succeed at both.
Plus, if we capture the fleeing Warden, we can...ask him questions about the timestop thing if we have to, and dont want to use our Crown here unless absolutely necessary.

Whatever Lash did knocked a memory loose. No clue what this could be though.
Molly continues to be at her strongest when fighting in Hell.
@DragonParadox Does that Warden qualify for MiM?

@DragonParadox
I take it that the three iron elementals are free since we destroyed the Warden they were bound to, so to free the other three Elementals we need to destroy the fleeing Warden?
If so I vote for this as well:
[x] Chase after the fleeing Warden

He does not, Greater Akuma do because they are proper immortals, these were Lesser and do not.
Yes and to get another three you have to kill the one who got nailed into the rock, though Lydia and Tiffany can handle that one.

Huh. I (and some others I believe) voted to make the assault on the Wicked City under the assumption that damn near everything here would count for MiM. Noted.
Huh.
So if we want all nine iron elementals, we need to grab the last one.
And freeing them will probably get us bonus reputation in the spirit world, even if it doesnt get us bonus XP.
Well this is going to be a problem. We would have saved time here, but this is an anchor around our throat that could be serious trouble.
We really need to work on keeping all our alchemy knickknacks around. It's possible that anti magic potion we have a recipe for could help here. Not sure what else we can do about this here and now, most of our stuff is too slow.
Maybe a trinket? Molly is typically bad at those but with our DC adjusters being what they are right now we're a lot better off. They're also specifically intended to be build on the fly out of scrap while under fire, so we can potentially get it done faster.
Trinkets are weird and can interact with the supernatural in useful ways even though they're not technically enchanted. See being able to make true sunlight grenades.
Maybe time manipulation would typically be out of their scope, but under these circumstances I'm not so sure. One of the benefits of that book we wrote was supposed to have for others was that it would reveal laws of nature in the hells to a degree nearly unrivaled outside of the Yama Kings themselves. Stuff that could be exploited if you're willing to enter them to try it. We have the uncut version of that information on tap and are draw some significant power from the Wicked City right now. I don't see why we couldn't abuse the same loophole he is.
We've got a few dead cyborgs; that's plenty of parts to harvest for a mad scientist time prodder.
A lot of this is contingent on what we learn of the effect, but it's worth considering our options now.
