Holden is just one person (not a team with editors and such) and the crafting-doc is not even a finished work.
That doesn't make sense to me in context ands also not what refill means. If you ask for a refill at a restaurant they don't give you a third of glass, they get you a full one. If you borrow someone's car and they ask you to refill it before returning it and you put in half of what you used they're not going accept that as valid.
Okay I am going to say this. The crafting doc is as far as I can tell from his production of The Black Vault which is the expansion on exalted versus World Of Darkness revised is finished it's just not formatted. This is powerful but in the charm set there are I think two different effects that do the same thing except those effects also give you a scene long I think nine point attribute boost when you use them.
Remember if the Gate opens a good portion of America gets wiped. That seems to be what it's holding back and I highly doubt we can kill something capable of glassing a country right now or on our own.
This first one seems like a waste of a question to be honest, and for the second one I think you should phrase it differently. Something that includes the Sin-Eater like "is there anything you or we" instead of just we in case it can do something with the mantle in combat or beforehand to screw with the Dragon that we can plan around.
Maybe we should ask if the Sin-Eater can temporarily give us the Mantle until we find a proper bearer and what that would entail since Mantles can be broken and limit you in certain ways.
Fairly sure that Iku-Turso (or however that's spelled) was capable of similar feats if left unopposed. And it's a matter of how the feat is acheived. It might be a matter of built-up energy. I think we need to know. Maybe we can pass through the gate (if there's a gate) and deal with the problem from the other side, for example.
The first one determines at least some of our tactics. If they can flee, we need to devote someone (probably Harry) to preventing NeverNever access, for example. For the second - I would assume it's doing everything it can already, so the question is "what can we do, that you can't".
Alright I see the logic. I'm wary of going to what's probably the Outside to fight anyone though since we don't have an easy way back. If we end up trying it we should definitely wait until we have full essence and it should come after Sandra and the Dragon in any case.
I didn't understand that part, actually. What was Lash's issue here?
It's also a Raksha, iirc those are vulnerable to "stories" more than might of arms.
The Sin Lash had in mind involved her and Harry and as few clothes as she could get away with.
At least the people whose opinion she actually cares about are generally well meaning. There are worse starting positions.
That sounds a bit too much like volunteering to be the Dragon, who was the Sin Eater's bitch and not his boss.
He released two different updates for crafting, it's possible this is an error but I don't think so.
Magically irradiating most of a continent I think. Wasn't the description that it'd head basically remove the most populace areas of Mexico too? I don't remember where the stopping point is past that, but it's not a regional US problem.
You say that it might be a portal but we haven't gotten any solid information on what the fuck it actually is. Literally all we know is there is an outsider related phenomenon in this spot that if it's broken open using Outsider magic it's going to kill a significant portion of the continent that is it. It doesn't matter if it's gate or a being or entity at this point I just want to know what the hell is going on with it.
It's not that I'm saying it's a portal*, it's the Winter Lady saying it's a portal. When they sent guys to ask about their area of primary responsibility and got what the High Sidhe thought was a snub they swallowed it then went home because they think it's a portal.
There's a reason I said entity the first Outsider creatures we ever fought were claimed to be holes in the world that lead directly to the outside little tendrils of Greater Outsiders. Unless it's something literally like an outer gate it being possibly a portal is really not helpful for describing what the fuck it actually is. Literally for all we know it's a couple dozen of those little void dog things that we fought in front of Ebenezer and because mortal magic doesn't affect Outsiders super well they needed a God to sit on it and now it's been hundreds of years and the couple dozen void dogs are now a singular void Beast large enough for a hand of a great old one to pass through we literally don't know.
It being a portal is the most helpful description of what it is.
I was using them as an example but I was also said that after a hundred years of sitting in a same place they combined into a large enough hole that something could reach through essentially they became a gate due to sitting there Ebenezer is a insanely powerful wizard wielding the black staff. Without either of those things if you were just one or a couple of shamans that came together and there are dozens of things that you really can't affect with your magic and can't really kill maybe the sin eater is a better idea.
But she isn't saying that it's a portal:
It's either a being or a portal, or maybe both (possibly in the way how Yog-Sothoth is described as the Gate and the guardian of said Gate in Lovecraft lore). Maeve doesn't know.
