But today is a Sunday so we have school tomorrow. Which will kinda suck since we are Wounded which takes 2 days to heal then another 1 day for Injured to heal with Bruised and Hurt fading in the 13 hours after that. So Molly will still be hurting until Tuesday and won't be fully healed until sometime around Thursday.

Michael did not appear able to see though that shadow spell. Knights of the Cross are very very good at spotting the unholy or things that compromise free will. That spell was neither.
Somewhere in the middle of the miniature riot that has developed from all the rage magic. Michael does not feel he has any obligation to save them from being arrested, nor to get Marcone his money. The monks just grabbed their stuff and are presumably content not to pay for it.
Molly can say something about getting them out if you guys want.

And he got this mission on the day when he's bringing backup that can no-sell this because of bring your daughter to work day. Chances that this is a coincidence? I'd say somewhere around 0.

Micheal would have been in a bad situation here without us.
Not terrible, he would have won and secured whatever object this was about, propably, but there would have been innocent dead.
Uriel picked a good first mission for him to get support.

Its never a coincidence with the White God / Knights of the Cross.
As bad as the Maidens smh.
IF.
Oh yeah. They are supposed to be selling stuff to the monks, so Im assuming that we grabbed them and tossed them in the back of the van as well.
Molly has pretty poor ability to notice anything.
Her Perception is 2 dots, she has Alertness 0, Awareness 0, and Investigation 0.
Usum and her anima have been carrying her through fights.
Your ruling of course.
But this is like basic fae Court starter kit stuff in the Dresdenverse: you cant see me unless you're strong willed enough to break my whammy, or Im putting out a Love Me field and you have to resist it.
I dont really think its all that impressive for a Dresdenverse warlock.
Or would be something a Knight of the Sword wouldnt be protected against.
There's a reason properly trained wizards use veils instead.
Michael does not have an obligation to save them from being arrested in the normal course of things.
But if he was asked along as a guarantor by either side, he arguably does have one to get them their money since they do not have anything to do with the attack. Which in this case means saving them from being arrested, and making sure the monks pay them.
The monks asked for a Knight of the Sword as a ridealong. They should know the score.
Molly shouldnt have to ask.
Its like asking the Archive along as a mediator and then still trying to cheat.
EDIT
And frankly, the monks should know better than to attempt to loot that stuff and run away.
Because it means that if there is a next time, Marcone wont sell to them. Other people will be wary of doing business with them if they think the monks will take advantage of any happenstance, and will crank costs accordingly if they have to deal with them.
Reputation is important in the magic world. Even total assholes like Nicodemus live on rep.

Okay?
And the anima can continue carrying us for a while.
Its not going to work without Essence raising anyway as we want to turn it on at the start like Exce.
Edit: Comparatively not much is going to carry against being shot by a lot of people because we don't have Fivefold Bulwark Stance. We do have a Skinned Alive equivalent, but that'd be a lot of EXP.
My main concern is Essence. Boiling Sea is good and cheap, Hellscry is good to get as we don't have Sight anymore and Opened Eye of the Hurricane is...not good for a good while. It rolls Dex + Athletics...

- Knights are not Exalts, they do not have blanket immunity to things, if someone were trying to mess with their heads and force them to do things sure they get to fight it will against magic even if the spell does not normally allow it. If someone is just trying to walk way... someone not a demon, not fey just old and wicked but very much human sword's not going to ping
- He knows what is in that bag and by any reasonable code of ethics it is theirs by right, it only ended up in Marcone's possession by a combination of malice and random chance over the years. Michael does not enforce contract law with gangsters over the sanctity of holy things to be in the proper keeping. He is not fey and there is a reason the Knights never signed the Accords because those might force you to do just that

Why you complaining this is a good thing as far as I'm concerned?
By the way I'll note fey aren't subject to the Seven laws neither are pretty much anything not human. Though outsider stuff and accord specific laws still apply to many of them for obvious reasons it's just specifically the seven laws they aren't bound to.
I am not complaining per se right now.
But it does make me want an anti-scrying Charm.

So far all we've seen of the white god is good. Very very limited though if also uncomprehensibly powerful. Honestly depending on the cosmology a lot of these rules might be in place to prevent another super deicide via mortals and abuse of power. At the very least even what our demons told us has shown their benevolent. Though honestly I forsee in the future is them being unable to answer any things we really need knowing cause free will shenanigans which are probably there for good reason.
Just noticed the edit, keep in mind that Marcone is some gangster in Chicago who happens to know about the supernatural, it does not seem likely that monks in Nepal would have much reason to do repeat business with him. At least she does not think they are buying smuggled guns, drugs the services of professional escorts etc...

Also while true he does as far as we know basically have the biggest crime empire in pretty much the world. Not that he's all powerful in it he's got connections pretty much everywhere though if very little protection power outside the states most of the time.
Nah, sorry but I don't like the restrictions.
I am 99% sure its for a good reason and not out of character at all, but for example I voted against accepting.
White God also has too many Theion similarities for me to not be suspicious.
And who knows what if we become a Demon Emperor? If we don't die somewhere along the way, its inevitable as we grow.

The strongest furthest seeing and most powerful entity in the entire setting is currently bending causality in a pretzel to assist us and you want to... prevent them from doing that?
I mean I respect the paranoia and everything, but I dont think it should be a priority.
I am pretty sure the biggest criminal empire in the world would be in some place with a much weaker state than the US, places where the distinction between crime boss and government blur. Marcone is nowhere near that, he is just tolerated because he keeps the crime less violent and out of the papers.

I mean we don't exactly have to be directly opposed to them even if a demon emperor. Also being honest even at essence 5 fairly sure the white god is far above our pay grade.
Hey dp how's exp in this arc so far I assume more than the last one cause killing outsiders alone should even if outsider mooks the first time should probably be worth more than anything weve done yet cause outsiders, crafting for the first time, beating up sorcerers, the dreaded school.

I mean, we don't absolutly have to conquer the other hells and kill or vassalize the Yama Kings.
We will end up as something great, but it need not be the Demon-Empress of Yomi-Wan.

Arguably most yomi it would be nice to kill. I am kinda worried their less nerfed than us though what if they have stupid amounts of essence?
He is way overblown controlling a single city, which he does not might seem big. It is a feat would be big in the states, but small compared to say Mexican Cartels. The Cartels outright rule large parts of the country.

I'm pretty sure if we pick world sized our domain becomes about the size of every other hell combined

Is that actually true I thought a lot of Hells were stupid huge and often non Euclidean? Unless their far lesser than what they once were which I could see.I'm pretty sure if we pick world sized our domain becomes about the size of every other hell combined
@uju32 I am not going to change the Marcone thing on Michael's part in part because I know what is in that bag and so does Michael IC and it would feel immoral to him to ask anyone to pay Marcone for it simply because it was in his possession. As far as Michael is concerned it was never owned by Marcone indeed it could not be owned by Marcone given its history and nature.
Being righteous as far as the Knights are concerned is not the same as being scrupulous with terms and conditions and honor is derived from doing good not being perfectly observant of niceties.
I hope this is not too close to spoiling plot points, but I wanted to explain my reasoning with regards to the character.

Oh I think it's perfectly in character for them though Michael is savvy enough to know this isn't always the most pragmatic enough he is down right an actual Saint by most standards. Any chance we will have the opportunity ask the monks what was it they were buying? If they refuse to answer that's fine I won't pry just I figure both in and ooc we are interested.
