Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

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.
A lot of this is contingent on what we learn of the effect, but it's worth considering our options now.
Alternatively?
We know that flowing water can ground out (some)magic in the Dresdenverse. And at least one of the pipes on the wall has some, or should. Tool Constructs with a filter to purify the water might work.
 
If thee know it and Blades-Turn-Purpose-Twist or know not
Should be "thou", and delete the "or"
paper thin insulators
Should be "paper-thin"
sutures of of some failed surgery
Delete one "of"
As Lydia draws back a hand of marble spun
Should be "stone" or maybe something else?
One crashes into th far wall
Should be "the"
wings folded inwards a space
Should be "as"
Should be "you"
please let him me alright
Should be "be"
Should be "sword"
amour and dead flesh
Should be "armor/armour"
As one three airs of chains snap
Should be "pairs"

These guys died like chumps, even with being Lesser Akuma fighting on home ground with support. Guess that's what happens when a task force that could fight an Antediluvian rolls into town and starts subverting your assets before and during the fight.

Once this arc is over, we should take some time to really buff ourselves up. Have Tiffany give everyone 5s in Physical Attributes, use that Alchemy 4 to make it cheaper to increase Social/Mental Attributes, forge everyone some Splendors for armor and accessories, the full works.

Hopefully we can take some time to really get started on the Skyrim Alchemy Loop, so that the difference between Molly at Essence 3 and Molly at Essence 4 will be large enough to obsolete any info people have been gathering on her so far.

I dunno we've really been operating on some real weekly cartoon schedule kind of stuff so I'm not sure we really can. Might only be able to choose like one of those options really.

That seems too simple for a trick like bending time, but maybe being so obviously against the grain will make it more vulnerable or something.

The point of this group was not to beat us, there wasn't much chance of that unless we did something dumb. It was to sell their lives for as much of our time as they could get. From that perspective the time bomb allowed them to be fairly successful.
 
I'll be honest had I realized that MiM actually doesn't apply to mostly everything alive in the Wicked City I definitely would've been against the raid.

Nothing for it now but I'm quite bitter over it.

Yeah, honestly it's kind of coming off more as the GM artificially upping the difficulty than a genuine portrayal of the setting. The Wicked City was described as packed with spirits to the point of dehumanizing anonymity

In order:
-Physical 5s? Possible, though Id point at Lydia needing Stamina 5 as the overriding priority. And Lash upgrading herself
-Alchemy not so much; I dont think Molly's IC background is going to accept casually popping magic drugs or carrying them around as SOP

-Splendors I can see a case for Lydia and Lash. Molly not so much.

-Skyrim Alchemy Loop? Why? Molly hits E4 at the end of this story arc.
That unlocks Unbound Eschaton Shintai, which gives her a second, more powerful warform transformation, AND a second Signature Charm. As well as unlocks the full version of Green Sun Nimbus Flare. Significant jump in power there.

That seems too simple for a trick like bending time, but maybe being so obviously against the grain will make it more vulnerable or something.
I remember flowing water destroying the body of the Nightmare in Grave Peril.
And a circle containing the Erlking in Dead Beat, keeping Butters alive in the same book, depowering the Archive in Small Favor, and breaking Binder's summons in Turn Coat.

Dresdenverse magic can be funny like that.

Anyway? Its a standing effect. There's no machinery still maintaining it.
That suggests its being either being maintained by magic or nature, and we felt Yin chi try to freeze Molly in place before Lydia yanked her out. That means that all the conventional potential negators should be in play:
-Sunlight
-Fire
-Flowing water
-Magic circle to break the magic supply thats sustaining the effect
-With specific regard to Yin chi, Wood is its nemesis. And Lydia has a bunch of wooden constructs here.

Worst case, we pop shintai and assume control of the local time-space continuum.

We mostly avoided most of the inhabitants of the Wicked City.

We fought lesser akuma, who have some claim to mortality. And what appears to be programmed drones.
Not spirits and demonic servitors, who are deathless unless killed. And not greater akuma, who literally cant be killed permanently outside of Yomi Wan.

Im willing to cut the GM some slack here.

Tiffany already upgraded herself to all 5s in Physical. She should be able to do the same for Lydia and Molly and Harry.

I'm talking about the drugs that decrease XP costs for increasing Mental and Social Attributes. Molly should be okay with them considering they're for training purposes.

Molly could use an Essence regenerating/holding Talisman, and so could Tiffany with a Faith-holder. I'm sure Molly could upgrade her own armor and shield to be slightly better as well, maybe make some Awareness-enhancing glasses or even more speed-boosting shoes.

Or even just grab him and forcefully move him. Assuming that the time field is locked in space. In which case we will likely have to spend an essanse to stop from freezing ourselves, but it's a smaller price then Shinkai right now.

Ability is not the issue, its more about receptiveness.
Lydia will take it no question. Molly might with reservations, where she thinks she needs work. Harry wont.
And Tiffany still needs upgrades so that she doesnt get clapped by a stray bullet.

I dont think that would make much difference for Molly. Too much baggage IMO.

I dont expect any Essence regenerating item to work for a Solaroid better than the charms she already has, and its a poor use of Molly's limited slots for items. Not to mention it probably fucks with game balance.
Tiffany on the other hand, yes. Its even mechanically supported in Demon The Fallen as the Hoard background.

Risk of damage. Else just activating EIPP would be the most straightforward option.

7s. You can go up to 7 without causing delirium to poor mortals by your very presence. Also,splendor armors and equipment, yes. We definitely shall. I have that scheduled for the next month, among other things.

We bought those recipes for a reason. And Malcoffee already worked and was accepted. All hail to gateway drugs.
