A walkin freezer is absolutely going to stop a mortal, but it isnt really armored against physical intrusion from a superhuman character. I still remember the one I visited and its flexing walls.
Empty containers are even worse; a 40-foot container weighs around 3.7 tons empty and its walls are less than half an inch thick.
Get a quote for a walkin freezer. One with the floor space for all the work we actually want to do.
Now get the relevant permits to fit a commercial-grade walkin freezer into this place, and the justifications thereof.
And then all of a sudden you find out that zoning regulations are relevant.
Chicago is a major city. There's all sorts of rules about what you can do in places.
This is a setting where the opposition has used chemical weapons, bombs, arson and magically empowered fortification crackers.
I am in no hurry to lock ourselves in somewhere we can afford to emplace defenses or defenders.
And especially not in a civilian residential area
First, this is paranoia. Second, this is what wards are for. And yes, any facility of ours should be warded to high heaven.
Why?
Distance is not an issue; they are in the same city. Duplicating facilities just raises setup costs.
And its not like we can use both locations at the same time.
Logistics. I will throw your question back at you: how are you getting a car down into Last Station to work on it? What about anything larger, like a mini-submarine or a helicopter in case we ever work on something large?
Hell, I fully expect your bogstandard Denarian would shrug off that sort of curse; when you have a Fallen Angel backing you, thats a lot of metaphysical heft. If the Archive didnt simply countercurse the Denarians to death after Small Favor, if Mab didnt curse the Denarians after Arctis Tor and Small Favor, we arent likely to have the metaphysical heft to do so.
Impervious Primacy Mantle laughs off unrestricted archangel's full efforts. That's E3. Same as ETE, actually (it's 3 dots, not 2). Exaltations are rather good at absolute effects and hitting above their weight. Were designed to be such, after all. And yes, primacy of defense, but still.
She isn't physically hurt. No blood just wine.
Pills with the wine suggest suicide attempt.
[X] Try to command the vampires to stop and open the door for you
-[X] intimidation excellency
-[X] Tool transcending Constructs to administer aid.
-[X] STUNT: "Step away from her, open the door, so I don't need to bother breaking it, and stay very still and quiet, vampire. I will have questions for you, after I am done with her. Depending on your answers, you may be allowed to live" you say, your voice projecting beyond normality, as a sudden blast of winter's chill permeates the house.
Not sure about the stunt, but yes, we need to question them. And these are killers, those who feed on despair. Intimidation is something we should be staring with. Everything else comes later. We are best suited to roll them over with "oh sh*t, sudden demon lord" tactic.
@DragonParadox is the neighborhood bad enough to trigger TLF? We are set on protecting the woman, after all.
