Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)
- Thread starter DragonParadox

That was not one round, that was two, you spent the essence for excellence before Ebenezer came out as soon as the smell hit you, it just did not flow well to have the text broken up by Lost 1 Essence twice in one paragraph, sorry for the confusion.
So the sequence is...
Smell hits
Excellency.
Ebenezer and enemies appear
It becomes turn 1
By Rage Recast
Events of turn 1
It becomes turn 2
Anti-mindfuck Charm
Events of turn 2
Is this right? So the Exce lasts Ess+1 or 2 turns, so it counts from Turn 0 to turn 2?

Sorry to keep picking on this, but if we activated the Excellency earlier then it should have ended earlier too and we are back at the same problem, only in the second turn?
Hmm... @Artemis1992 is right on this one, that does not quite work, animal flare it is. One moment while I change that.
Makes sense that Infernal powers are inclined to fix reality, you can't reclaim something if it has been destroyed after all.
The Yozi wanted what was left of their masterpiece back, not ashes.

Uhh... not so much. The Yozi were very happy to burn Creation to the ground, especially Malfeas - the point was just to have it back, no matter what state it was in. In fact, breaking it until it resembles Hell was basically their entire plan, because when there was no difference between Creation and their prison they could just come over all by themselves. Would it work? Probably not, but then I'm not an insane world-titan so what do I know?
That said, it still does make sense for them to have reality-repairing powers. The Outside is probably analogous to the Wyld more than anything, and, well, it was the Primordials that separated Creation out from the chaos in the first place.
Sometimes I wonder if the Outside is if the Void somehow spilled into and contaminated the Wyld. Since only horrible, reality ending shit comes out of it, not story based Raksha.
And the diminishment of Creation should enhance the Wyld and free it from the yoke of linear time.
Yzarc
The Spark of Madness
They are, if you consider cosplaying as Cthulhu as story based.
Some one should get the Rakshas to stop playing Call of Cthulhu, especially since Eldritch horrors were never meant to be playable.
Rakasha are allergic to the idea of listening to a DM though, so if it was the wyld it'd make sense for at least a few things to flip the Cthulhu players the bird and show up to try playing pathfinder with real wizards or something.
Yeah, they wanted Creation back, they didn't care if it at all resembled the decaying remains of what the Exalted had turned it into.
To the Yozi Creation had already been mangled to hell and back, it didn't make a difference to them to literally drag it to hell.
What they don't want is it actually destroyed by reality eating abominations.

Thinking about Dresden cosmology and marrying it to Exalted, it's almost like someone took the Underworld or at least Oblivion, and wrapped it around Creation, Hell and part of the Wyld.
For all that the NeverNever is confusing and infinite in size it's nothing like the deeper Wylds, it's pretty darned stable and orderly in comparison.
And we know that the Void can change things to serve Oblivion, maybe Outsiders are just things and shades that have spent untold ages soaking in the Void without actually being fully dragged into Oblivion.
New tinfoil hat theory: all of the DF universe is actually a slice of creation, the marches, and some wyld wrapped completely in the void. The rest of creation is still there, but the locals had to reformat reality to account for being cut off and exposed to the void.
If we succeed hard enough this whole campaign becomes the back story to a full exalted game.
I guess I could see the cosmology being like...
Neverborn mostly won Creation, whatevers left, Exalted, Yozi, Primordials, Incarna, whatever escapes into Nowhere and makes Seal of Eight Divinities 2.0, The Outer Gates and makes a new world with barely any resources, resulting in a weak ass copy.
Edit: The Outside would be Underworld + Void + Neverborn horror amalgam.

All of that seems to be really reaching to fit the Exalted cosmology into the DF cosmology. Sure, you can get a round peg into the triangular hole of you take the hammer to it, but there are easier and more sensible explanations, IMO.
Creation, like all of the other supernatural planes of existence in DF, was much more likely just another realm in the Nevernever, though one of unusual size and power, which can be explained by the number of extraordinary Powers which came together to imagine it into being.

I wouldn't believe it.
Even the barest echo of Holy Theion can eject Angels, which are Pillars of Creation in DF, with barely any Essence around.
Which are universal between realms iirc. And its not even close to a real Infernal with Theion themes because its just Sorcery with Infernal Essence.

[X] Plan 'Totally Normal Girl Having Totally Normal Reactions'
-[X] Hug your dad. Gently. Ask if he's OK.
-[X] Clarify that you're OK.
-[X] Thank McCoy and introduce yourself (politely).
Which is comedic when you imagine how magnificently torn up and inhuman we are right now. We probably have jagged ridges of crimson crystals coming out of our back from where our blood flash froze the moment our flesh was torn, glimmering in the light. Nor do I have any idea how you hug someone in that state.
This? We're golden, except we're going to need dad to fetch a change of clothing when we get back. Charity would take one look at us and make sounds that are normally only produced by bats or misaligned hydraulic presses.
If this was the worst that came down the pipe we would be asking what all the fuss is about. We just know that this really, really isn't.

I'm still not comfortable with asking for any more that we are already getting without horking up actual cash money. The dude needs a break and these manhours aren't exactly helping him in any way.

I just realized something, with your anima now flaring you can use the secondary power of your crown, which means that you cannot be surprised or caught flat footed in a fight, not even by invisible foes let alone by the vampire who was using regular stealth, that means his DC for success is two higher which means he only inflicted 2 damage. One moment while I edit that in
Sorry for the confusion guys, but I am still new at the system.

We'll happily ignore it even if we are torn up like a victim from a slasher movie. Our clothing, less so.
We're probably missing cloth from our nape to the small of our back.
