I mean it was a dud, so basically she had no chance to notice something, because nothing happened.

I keep forgetting that you can't do that. In any case the lunar charm looks like it allows this.
The infernal one places restrictions on the attack, which implies if the charm doesn't give a restriction on how you use the attacks it die and have one.
These are additional attacks, so it implies they go after your initial one. So the number goes to 10 attacks.
Problem is that asking risks exposure of that particular ace in the hole, while we're under the scrutiny of a lot of magical heavyweights in the heart of Summer.
And Im not sure its worth the risk.
Possible, but unlikely in this case IMO.
If an Exaltation was used to make Balor's Eye in this AU, I'd have found it more likely to be an Infernal or Abyssal or even a Solar Exaltation, given the associations of burning and destruction and obliteration, and Balor's association with the Fomorians.
There's no associations of change or mutation, like you usually see with Lunars.
A Lunar Exaltation just doesnt seem to fit in my opinion.

Not sure what you are saying here.
If you are saying, attack same target multiple times in a turn, then V20 says no.
I checked and only the Infernal charm allows you to do so at the cost of not being able to attack anything else.
Area attacks are a thing, though.
Anybody with proper support is terrifying. That goes without saying.
Fomor with proper support are terrifying. Winter Knight Dresden almost got killed by pixies with proper support.
No we didnt.
The Crown didnt trigger because the answer was null, so noone saw anything.
Does this include Appearance? Because you can fleshsculpt Appearance. Anyway, this is probably solvable with some additional stealth charms.
Anyway, this means that we can assume base 5 stats (possibly with base 7 dexterity and Appearance - those should be concealable), and base 10 for any combat where we are the aggressors. And, with a permanent WP point sacrficice, that's permanent, meaning it's on the character sheet. Meaning that excellency works off it. Then you throw in rage form, and coiled cobra strike, and probably some other charms, and you are making attack rolls that completely ignore armor (armor rending claw fist) and rolls 30+ dice for both attack and damage at at least -2 DC adjustment. Fairly sure that from ambust a lunar can kill almost anyone sans perfect defense.
Not with that ability, there is a different five dot lore for appearance.
Looking at ExWoD:
The first section says you can't make more than one attack using the base multi-action rules, which directly nixes the thing I was starting with on rolling out attacks prior to the charm.
The next section specifically talking about extra actions that generate other attacks just warns that they exist and stipulates the order they happen in. It doesn't add any clause about distribution, and if there was going to be one it should be here.
Infernals can make extra attacks against a single target, Lunars just generate extra attacks without a rule in the base or the charm itself saying otherwise.
It's just like the counterattack charms that generate extra action attacks against whoever tries to hit you regardless of who you attacked this turn or what your last counter was aimed at.

? Fleshcrafting explicitly has rules for modifying appearance:
The rules mentioned are:
That is a vampire power, Lash does not have that. She's got shape flesh which does not do appearance.

Since he is a single foe and basically offers a duel, I suspect he's something of a puzzle-boss himself.
For most of our fights the work around and before them was important, as well as our priorities of different foes and targets during the battle.
None of this matters here, we don't get preptime or multiple targets.
And we don't have multiple offensive options really, just different buffs.
So unless DP wants to make it into a simple roll-off, there's probably some trick involved?
Sorry for the misunderstanding, there's a lunar charm I was talking about:
Oh sorry I saw Tzmice on there and thought you meant to use the actual discipline they have. Yeah that charm works for appearance.
I was confused because Lash also has an ability that can make permanent improvements to people
Part of the question here is if he's a dupe or a willing agent.
A willing agent is presumably irredeemable and up for the chop. A dupe is something that we might not want to kill out of hand, because presumably the people who imprisoned him instead of murdering his ass did so for a reason.
Assuming we can kill him of course.
We dont really have any charms at the moment capable of stopping him from running the fuck away if he takes enough damage to matter, just like last time.
At the very least, we want to minimise what Nemesis can gather from this.
Ask that Titania blind/deafen the Nfested Sathar, so that Nemesis cant gather intelligence through his senses.
QUESTION
1)Is Lily here? Or Fix?
Im thinking that this would be a very good opportunity for someone who is familiar with Avalon and its defense, like Ellawyn, to attempt to sneak in and either free the other Nfested, or work havoc.
2)Is it safe to assume that every member of Titania's Court currently present is aware of the Outsider threat being addressed? Because it will affect how freely Molly might want to speak.
3)Should we put up a charms list? Or can that wait until next turn?
- Both of them are present
- They all know what they are here for, namely to witness an exorcism
- If you want to do combat sure that would be good
On a tangentially related note, since SCE is ancient sorcery and splendors are on the same wavelength so to speak does having access to both make us capable of making an exorcism item? Something with the same general requirements, but that someone else could activate.

We don't, but he just asked for a duel with the Summer Queen's guest in her place of power.
I'm very certain she can force him to stay to the bitter end.
Running during a duel would very much go against the etiquette she is empowered to enforce here.
Im not.
He's an incarna-tier god monster from when the gods were actually allowed to walk abroad in reality, who was imprisoned by other gods/god-tier supernaturals of the time for being too powerful and too ornery to play nice.
Titania can defeat him no doubt; enforcing rules on him is a very different matter.
I am reasonably sure he can run, and Titania has other things on her mind than compelling him to stay.
Especially since its not like she doesnt know where he sleeps.
Think of it this way: Do you think Titania could stop an E1 Sidereal activating Duck Fate?
Not to mention that Im not sure the rules of the Summer Court would even extend to her stopping someone from running away from a duel.
If allowed, something like that would be at least 5-dots, if not NA, and would thus be only wieldable by serious-tier supernaturals.
I suspect Holden would say no.
EDIT
If you were doing it?
Id suggest something like borrowing Tolkien aesthetics and making them trees that bear fruit.
One in Winter, One in Summer.
Then all they have to worry about are giant spider spirits.

Maybe we should ask Iku-Turso what it's done to offend Nemesis such that the Outsider has gone to so much trouble to arrange its death. After all, it's not even been two months since we inflicted true death upon one of its fellow Walkers. Extruding only a portion of itself into reality didn't save the Walker, so what makes Iku-Turso so certain it will survive its second encounter with us, especially here of all places?
Is it so eager to be a sacrificial pawn in the games of a parasite?
Whether or not this has any effect on Iku-Turso itself, we have an audience to make an impression on.

It's just that I'm reluctant to share ancient sorcery stuff around because it's very exploitable and we can't take it back once someone had the authority extended to them.
That said, arranging it so the critical defenders of reality are defenses from possession and have a way to undo it if we're not around for one reason or another is a good idea.
Making infrastructure is a good compromise between those motives.
Something that's fey Queen level only would be plenty.
[X] Plan Look before you leap
-[X] Activate ATB with willpower
-[X] Use the scene to ask a crown question "what is the plan of the one behind creating this scene?"
--[X] If us fighting doesn't directly play into the prepared enemy plans
---[X] Activate VIridian Legend Exoskeleton, Melee excellency when needed, Steel Skin
---[X] Dive into the lake to fight it in the water.
---[X] Activate shintai, and form a localized dueling arena, with a chilled air and iron sand hurricane bound to your will
---[X] STUNT: "Let none say that I shrink from defense of Creation. And before you start worrying, I'll clean everything up by the time I finish this little bit of pest control" - so saying, you step forwards, first close , and then to stand directly onto the water. As you do, serene look of concentration passes over you, and both you, and the world around you shift. Your mortal-looking flesh is discarded for the armored form of your god body, covered in balefire glowing sigils you know to proclaim your glory to come. In the five corners of the impromptu arena, banners of the Five Cities rise, connected through am impassable circle of black iron snow, which even now howls and tears through the arena of combat, rapidly freezing it to the point you start feeling invigorating. All this changes happen between heartbeats, so seemingly subtle and natural, that a mortal mind would likely not notice the transition. None present here can precisely be called mortal. The preparations complete, you salute your opponent, and fall into the water, sword already swinging.
--[X} If you can't fight based on the information learned, help Titania how you can.
We really want to fight in the water. It provides way too many bonuses, and RVD can act as a substitute perfect defense.

Here and now I think she can.
Her word is pretty damn close to a physical law in this particular situation.
He arrived in the heart of Summer and merely by giving lipservice to the etiquette of a duel he has given Titania the handhold she needs for this.
If we are on the verge of winning and she sees the chance to make sure someone who is crashing her party gets true-killed, I believe she can and will take it.
And I don't know if she could stop a Siddie from Ducking Fate here, most likely not, but she could do a lot of other things in response to him doing so.
Setting the Wall/Gaunlet to 10 locally is the least of her options I think.
Given that his presence turned the water black it may count as essence regeneration too, not that we'll be in there that long.
I think you should modify the plan a bit though, cause it sounds like we're going to waste time on our excellency by having it up before the first turn of combat.
[X] Yog
Not close to, is. She can't warp everything at once, but when she froze time earlier that was her exerting authority over her throne room, not casting a rote or something.
1)RVD is not reflexive, and thus cant be used that way as far as Im aware.
2)Your stunt isnt really applicable; dude might be working for Nemesis, or could be a dupe. We dont know yet.
3)And I think I for sure oppose risking revealing the Crown under these circumstances.
You're risking a major strategic advantage for not all that much payoff.
And you're doing so right after the Archive warned us about the importance of keeping secrets in this war. Even from allies.
Not really.
See Arctis Tor, where something similar was tried around seven months ago; the bodies of the attacking and defending armies carpeted the approaches to Mab's citadel. The perpetrators got away clean
If MAB couldnt hold them, I doubt her opposite number can manage that in a similar situation.
