[X] Go into Shintai
-[X] "Pretender? Godling?" Your laugh is dark and throaty. And as you laugh, your voice transforms, becoming something altogether inhuman, the sound of brass twisted upon itself into a shrieking melody of tortured metal, underpinned by the howling of a distant, merciless arctic wind that somehow easily drowns out the rushing air swirling around the ruptured jet cabin that has become your latest battlefield. The laughter ceases abruptly, your surroundings tremble as if reality strains to contain your presence, and then you are more.

It's not about needing to do a barrel roll specifically. A fairly small airplane has a gaping hole in it right now. Uju is right. Let's not put it under any stress that might make DP start rolling for "structural integrity"
)E: ...assuming he hasn't started already -.-

I mean Ortega just used a retconned into aoe spell inside said small airplane too. Things are not looking good.It's not about needing to do a barrel roll specifically.

On one hand, Arianna's done more damage to us than a freaking Outsider, unprepared as it was. On the other hand, I can't help but conceptualize Molly going Shintai in response to Arianna's provocation to be the equivalent to pulling out a hand grenade because someone called you suss.

Fuck it. Apparently Broken Seerer wants to eat Arianna which would make killing him later even more difficult. Let's go into Shintai now so if he goes to swallow her we can better respond.

At least Shintai should boost our soak enough to survive the attacks by the other vamps that are good and ready now.

Eh, going Shintai seems premature? We are still mostly at full health.
Pull the fight out of the airplane and into the air where our flight and speed will let us control the engagement and pick them off one by one. If things get dicey enough then we can pull back and go Shintai. But doing it right here were they can attack us seems like a poor choice.

Yeah he rolled 7 bloody successes on it, so enough to put anything humanoid from fine to chunky salsa, a Garou would be in Thrall of the Wyrm about how, or as Broken Seeker calls it Tuesday
(Not that the Wyrm exists in this world, it is just that his natural state aligns to what Thrall of the Wyrm looks like, just with perfect mental clarity)

@DragonParadox does being forced to fight in z crowded aeroplane jn the sky with a number of powerful monsters trigger CCC?
Only if they try to keep you inside which none of them seem to e doing so at the moment. CCC is not triggered by claustrophobia, it is triggered by imprisonment

Also DP, are the effects of the Shintai permanent?

I'm just mad people still haven't learned their lessons when it comes to interrupting Molly's supervillain speeches. The only respectable opponent we've faced, who had the class to let us brag and posture without interruption, was He Who Walks Unbowed.
Meanwhile everybody else keeps cutting us short mid-sentence, right when we're about to do or say something really cool!
Really, nobody in this world understands the importance of timing and a good sense of drama. Makes you long for the good old days of Creation!
oh well, maybe after Molly kills Arianna the next foe she faces will be terrified enough of her kill list to let her monogue in peace (but still strong enough to warrant it, of course, can't waste a good stunt on mooks)

You don't want to waste a good stunt on mooks. I see mooks as a perfect opportunity to show off in ways that don't work against elites by mowing them down in creative ways. They're different flavors of awesome, and you need both for a proper well-rounded Exalt.

"Pretender? Godling?" Your laugh is dark and throaty. And as you laugh, your voice transforms, becoming something altogether inhuman, the sound of brass twisted upon itself into a shrieking melody of tortured metal, underpinned by the howling of a distant, merciless arctic wind that somehow easily drowns out the rushing air swirling around the ruptured jet cabin that has become your latest battlefield.
The laughter ceases abruptly, your surroundings tremble as if reality strains to contain your presence, and then you are more. "What... what did you do?"
Pride swells in your chest unbidden at having managed to get something as old and filled with pride himself as Broken Seeker to stumble over his words. There is a sense of anticipation in the very air, like a cord about to be plucked.
Lost 2 Essence Now at 7/15 Essence
Lost 2 Willpower -> Now at 5/9 Willpower
They scramble and they charge on filthy claws still gripping the tatters of flesh masks and expensive suits alike, they, they pounce from the ceiling with screeches of terror-made-rage, less than beasts and yet with eyes still horrifically human, like a drug-addled nightmare of a mad god. Claws scratch leaving no mark, drooling maws bite at limbs and the teeth shatter. Pieces of tables whole chairs break upon your back from those who even in their frenzy do not dare approach.
Though the din you can hear Duchess Arianna is shouting in some tongue you do not speak, Mayan maybe, Aztec, trying no doubt to bring some order to the chaos of the battle, trying to get those of her subordinates who still have their wits about them to do battle rather than lash out like cornered beasts. Amid the carnage three of the remaining elders reach you, each moving with unnatural grace as though puppeted by some greater power, moving though your guard like water to rip and tear at the joints in your armor... but they too find no purchase.
Lose 1 Essence -> Now at 6/15 (Melee Excelency)
Weaving between lashing limbs, ducking under wings like fetid curtains you fly straight and you fly true... right at Duchess Arianna as she raises her hands to once more claw magic from the air.
You had expected the speed, compensated for it. What you had not expected was that once one flurry, two broke past her guard the scorch-marks on her flesh should heal almost as fast as you can make them, veins shifting and writhing like serpents under her skin as they pump blood, so much blood over the wounds to heal them.
Arianna Discipline Revealed:Shatterproof (Protean •••, Fortitude ••••) A Gangrel with this power toughens his flesh and allows her body to absorb damage, spreading a blow's impact throughout her entire form to avoid significant injury.
System: The Gangrel may roll both Fortitude and Stamina together to soak aggravated damage. This does not include automatic soaks with stamina versus regular damage. Each use of this ability requires the expenditure of one blood point.
"How long can you keep this up?" you spit between the blows, keeping your guard up, physically and mentally
"Idiot girl! I have drunk the blood of gods! I am a goddess!" she screams, a film of blood flowing over her eyes, tears without mercy.
She's fast you will give her that and she is strong, strong enough to break this plane in half. Finally she manages to bat aside your sword and seems almost as surprised as you are by the fact, not even managing to chip your shoulder armor as much as her minions did
Out of the corner of your eye you can see Broken Seeker gut one of the remaining vampire elders in a fountain of blood from its ruined stomach and rip the wing off another to use as a improvised club, looking as happy as a little kid skipping though mud puddles.
1 Vampire Elder killed; 1 Wounded (3 more alive)
Even as the reek of blood claws at your nostrils, the screams of the remaining half-bloods mixing with the battle screeches of their masters you can still hear the distant storm, you can still smell the jungle after the rain, you can still glimpse in gaps between worlds the lights of cities infinitely distant and yet as near as your own heart. What if I were to draw it close? you wonder and you reach...

I guess we should pick somewhere humans can survive in if we want there to be any survivors. It's a real crying shame our kingdom doesn't have sunlight.
Anything else reds hate? Maybe we can manifest a church to our own glory?

[X] The Cities
-[X] (Stunt) Crystal and metal seems to grow from the walls and bottom of the cabin, walls and artworks from the City of Fountains. At first glance it only seems made to restrict the movement of the vampires, but on closer look barriers are also forming over the mortals and half-mortals that are passed out from the pressure-changes or catatonic from Seeker's presence. There won't be any more free drinks tonight.
First instinct to protect, I guess?

[x]A Proper Airplane
-[X] [Stunt] All over the airplane subtlety shifts. More cushions. The Aluminium shifts to some other metal. The hole torn in the side is replaced with an airlock. Wings of Aetheryc Spite's voice suddenly comes over the new loudspeakers "Thank you for granting this ones unworthy wish Empress allow me to show you proper flying". And everything jerks at as once commercial plane start picks up speed. There is a loud boom. "We should reach sunlight in just a few minutes Empress"

The palace has a security system, right? Could we summon a reflection of that security system to do something if we went with the palace?

That would be a person not terrain, since security is under the control of a SUTRA, but you could try to summon environmental traps from the palace to deal with the lesser vampires at least.

Someday we are going to have a fight against a serious enemy where we don't have to worry about collateral. On that day we are going to bring the worse parts of the wastes into the world.
Do our jungles have a bunch of blood suckers to deal with these blood suckers?
