We are going to meet the spirit hounds of Arawn's lost kingdom
These hounds will remember Arawn's FIRST wife.
They dont know his second wife, or his daughter.
Do remember that the QM does not usually time this kind of prompt unless its relevant.
This is likely to be plot-relevant.
Yes. And I don't want to anger them beforehand. I am working under the assumption that Arawn isn't sabotaging Lydia's attempt right now.
I dont get this argument. Lydia is literally right there. Her whole claim to these dogs are based on her ancestry.
The subject of her ancestry on both the maternal and paternal side is central to any claim/negotiation with a single hound, or a pack of them. All you are achieving right now is making sure that neither Molly nor Tiffany can be prepared to help, since they are not prepped beforehand.
Which is a bad thing, since Molly has the most maximum effort social dice in this place, and Tiffany has the most base social.
Ignorance really doesnt help us, and it is literally Molly's Urge to avoid ignorance whenever possible.
How would he? He's sleeping in a demesne, and his only link with the world abroad is through Lydia's senses when she lets him. Arawn gets no say here.
His actions and choices, however, do impact on his daughter's options.
So it is going to be very important to know who Lydia's mother is, the woman who succeeded Arawn's much-liked former wife, before approaching his former subjects.
Because they will also demand to know, whether its night or not.

Then maybe it's better not to say it out loud and use other methods that won't attract the enemy's Agro to us?
He gets to advice her. His advice is "don't discuss this after dark". Assuming that's not sabotage, I am inclined to follow that advice.

Sure we didn't hit him with a shadow spite curse? I figured that we were in bottle to act as a bad luck charm.
Nope, that double botch is all his natural fate.

Then why didn't she? Do we need to include it in the plan?
Arawn's instincts are towards secrecy. He's entirely comfortable routinely leaving his allies in the dark.
This was the same guy who didnt tell his daughter about the entire situation with the Kemmlerites that he was taking her into until she almost got et by Corpsetaker.
Im pretty sure his advice with regards to pacting Lash was "Dont do it".
His daughter ignored him then, too.
Thats like hunting deer with a 120mm tank cannon.
Appropriate tools for appropriate situations.
Because you need line of sight to do that and you do not have line of sight inside a bottle. The plan would have had to include that instead of the bottle.

What methods? Writing will draw the same attention.
Molly does not have telepathy(her clones do, she doesnt), and the only person with telepathy on this party(Olivia) does not have the mental defenses to matter against someone/something that could potentially hear a discussion from another continent.
More to the point, what action was it supposed to be targeting?
SSC is not a general debuff; there has to be something its specifically trying to penalize.
And there was nothing to penalize that we wanted penalized.
The attack presumably, it is the only one he took.
An attack that Melee 0, Brawl 0 Lash could have handled on her own just by boosting her own Physical Attributes with Flesh 3.
Like I said, using tank cannon to hunt deer.
And a terrible narrative spot to debut a new charm anyway.

We were in the scene which could have been used as a focus for on him.
Also better than doing nothing.
Main reason I wanted to get SSC was to make being carried around a more viable option. Will also note that all range limits are not in the charm and were added after the fact.

Crown of Eyes?

Those are the same limitations the Crown of Eyes has, no charm can be more permissive than that, which is to say line of sight and line of effect. Things get rather silly otherwise.

And crown of eyes could have used being in the same scene as a focus.
It could not, all you were getting was the sound transmitted through the water, you could not 'concentrate fully on the target' because you could not even perceive the target well enough to know they were attempting an action. Molly guessed that it had been an attempted knife attack once the knife fell out of his hands.

Fine we will make a pendent. Should be able to whip one up in less then 5 minutes.
Not sure why she'd bother to actually fight him. Set his stamina or dex to zero and let him collapse. I doubt he'll make a difficulty 8 willpower check to resist.
