True, that is still a bit strong. I was kind of on the fence on this, but eh... we can halve the rate. They get one every two hours of rest and can double it to one every hour with meditation, it says roll Stamina+Meditation, but since that does not exist in this system call it Stamina+Occult DC 8 for the meditation.



That's Dex+Athletics so 6 die, no excellency

I didn't mean to call that out as a problem.
Lore-wise Chi is propably a lot thinner than Essence and mechanically we can achieve more per point spend, so it's fine if he regains it faster.

Unrelated, if we spend 1 Essence on using the Crown to learn what Gard is, do we get 2 back for following our Urge?

1)Its been barely a couple hours since we captured Gorfels et al. His getaway driver got away, but thats it; we captured the rest of his crew. In order for this ambush to happen, several prereqs
i) They had to get information to someone with the power to make a decision about killing or attempting to kill a warlock
ii) Said person had to know or have enough access to our decisionmaking process to predict we'd come here
iii) They had to have access to a trained marksman and scoped rifle at short notice, and be able to rush them across town
iv)They had to know where Harry Dresden lives, and to have pre-scouted sniper positions overlookimg the approaches

None of this is a trivial exercise. And combined it represents a significant amount of contingency planning and resources.

Conclusion:
We're dealing with an organization, and a reasonably well resourced and competent one at that with access to skilled minions.
Illnois Nazis it is.

2) The monks have been under Molly's eyes all along, so there's no chance that any of them is a mole leaking info on our activities.
Marcone's gofers, however, have not. And they have cellphones. That narrows things down to either a leak in Marcone's organization, or someone on the other side who is preternatuarally competent and prepared.

3)They tried to assassinate Gorfels.
That means he has information they want to deny us from extracting from him.
Valuable information worth keeping him alive for.

So we need to keep him alive.

4)The Valkyrie with destiny magic doesnt recognize what we are, just that fate has no claim on us.
I wonder if thats Hendricks driving.

The way Exalts dont get to recover Essence is a real bummer.
At the beginning of this update we had 6 Essence. Burned 1 Essence for Tool Constructs.
Remaining 5/10 Essence. -1 Wound Penalty.

Burning 1 Essence for the sword and another for an Excellency should get us to Harry's door and threshold.
Leaves us with 3 Essence.

[] Run for cover with the others, you did promise your dad not to take as many risks

Need to write a stunt.

'Maggots' in the context she was using, and it is supposed to be old Norse, but I don't trust the grammar for Old Norse transnationals of phrases like that.

QUESTION
Did we get any Essence for interrogating the minions for secret knowledge of the Society?

Unfortunately not, it wasn't occult enough to ping since a low level goon knew it.

"Caterpillars" was probably Google Translate stumbling over the context of "walking" (ganga) which makes it guess at a similar animal with legs.

Front page:
  • Once per scene The Infernal may replenish one point of Essence whenever she learns secretive or forbidden lore of the supernatural world, or binds an unwholesome being into her service.
  • Solars, Infernals, Alchemicals, and Dragon-Blooded gain (3 + Essence rating) points of Essence when the sun rises each day, whether they can see the sunrise or not. Abyssals, Lunars, Sidereals, and Liminals gain the same amount at sunset.
  • If an Exalted character begins a scene at 0 Essence, she gains 1 Essence.
  • In the Nevernever, Solars, Lunars, Sidereals, Infernals, Alchemicals, and Dragon-Blooded gain 1 point of Essence every three hours.

We don't have to burn Essence for the sword.
That Aspect comes from our Demonic Guide, not By Rage Recast, so it is always available.

Takes a turn to draw the sword without Essence. To draw it reflexively, you need to burn 1 Essence.
Given that we're in an ambush, we cant afford to do it the slow way.

Pity.

On the bright side, By Pain Reforged reduces our wound penalties by 1.
So Molly isnt suffering any penalty to her actions atm, so we're rolling full Dex+Melee 9. 18 with the Excellency.
Time to play parry monster.

We can track down the perp later.
 
Dp are we using the splitting dice thing for multiple actions or the one given in exalted vs the world of darkness.

-[X]Stunt: This is your life now. "Sniper! Twelve o clock high" you bark, as with a eyebending twist your blade returns from wherever it goes, cutting a second bullet out of the air. A quick, measuring glance of the distances, the vulnerability of the car, and you make up your mind. "Dad, we're running to the house. Go!" you continue, falling back to put yourself between the rear of the party and the distant marksman. Once, twice, three times your sword moves during the short rush, deflecting riflefire before you can even hear the shot. A snatching motion of your offhand grabs the last bullet out of the air as it deflects off your sword. Souvenir.


1 Essence to draw sword. 1 Essence for Excellency.
Quick party rush to cover.
Stunt to grab bullet for later Crown of Eyes bullshit in private

Sure why not.

Edit: @uju32 that may have issues with our Essence per turn limit.

Reflexive means you can do it on someone else's turn in response to their action, you do not get to overspend on essence in one turn. You couls let your anima flare on the excellency like you did in the fight with the Red Court to get the sword without spending the essence though

We presumably dont need to worry about glowing; its nothing he and Michael havent seen before.

But the sword is not produced via Rage Recast. It is from our Head Demon so we can summon it with no issues.
