I don't think we should go out of our way to try and kill any Outsiders. Some are coming to us we should just target those otherwise the Dragon will target someone else when we break.
 
Okay, thinking this through.
If we don't keep the focus of the Dragon, he will kill some 1dx friends and allies of ours per round.
So we have to keep fighting here.
Using EIPP makes sense. If Sandra is bringing the Wyrd, we are doing the Exalted thing and rejecting it.

With a thought the light changes, becoming bright and steady as if from a thousand spheres of glowing crystal, showing the outline of each of the lesser Wyld-spawn for your allies to slay, as you continue your work.


Going a bit deep into past lifes, but what if not a fight in the closest thing to the Wyrd that can exist in reality would trigger those memories?
 
I'm adding that if Outsiders are within meele range and we get an opportunity while fighting the Dragon that we should kill them for recharge. We shouldn't go out of our way and disengage the Dragon but if they are on top of us we should MIM them. Also use will instead of essence since they gave us one back anyway.

Well at the very least we are in Shintai form so all allies* who die around us right now should be reborn in our Kingdom. The wheel is a feature of our Kingdom. Of course that will certainly make them COD if they aren't already.

*Enemies too I guess if we want.

@DragonParadox would knocking Sandra out stop the effect? And would that be an action covered by TLF, since I am fairly sure the DC adjuster is an environmental effect which we'll be protecting others from by knocking her out?

If Molly makes herself immune to the effect the sphere of chaos is about a non-issue. Everyone else is going to shoot at the dragon from as far away as they can manage. No one else is going to try and wrestle with it and if they did the -4 DC wouldn't actually make their situation much worse.

I had a knee jerk reaction*, but after thinking about it a Area of Effect a Sphere 8 ft in Diameter just doesn't really matter in this fight. Which is weird. In just about any other situation a super blood dragon surround by a aura of bad luck would be extreme overkill**, but right now it's not actually the right tool for fighting the force that we are. Which is a group of majority ranged fighters and a melee fighter that can ignore shaping effects.

*Mostly to the sheer cheese. Fairly sure that ability is not meant to be to have friendly fire off sort of defeats the whole point of it being chaos.
**It would kill Broken Seeker and all the Vampires on that plane no problem.

She is running very low on resources so yeah, I did not want to spend a mote just to make a better perception roll, especially since if you win this you will have a lot more time to investigate.
 
I am hoping that the Dragon doesn't realize that we are stopping the bad luck and attacks us thinking that our soak and dodge rolls will be pathetic.

You are underestimating the Sphere of Chaos a bit.

It's not bad luck, it's reality being distorted and broken.
From the description:
When actions fail due to theincreased difficulty, they fail because of fluctuations inprobability and natural law. A bullet falls apart before reaching its target, gravity suddenly increases under ajumping athlete, a computer suddenly starts displayinggibberish and obscene messages, et cetera.

This might not affect our people's ranged attacks while they are outside, but it can definitely affect their damage-rolls (since that happens inside the sphere).
If bullets fall apart, so can lasers loose cohesion.

Molly can make herself immune to this kind of thing, just as she could immunize herself to the environmental effects of being Outside (@DragonParadox At least that's my read of what Shaping Defenses can do), but everyone else will have issues attacking the dragon.

Actually, until Sandra is down I'd prefer for the Fire Teams to focus on other targets, like the lesser Outsiders, since they are so unlikely to harm the boss.

Votes are all over the place. I'd suggest choosing something more thorough and with a stunt.

It's not.

In the baseline version everyone, even the Earthbound Demon who cast it, suffers the difficulty on everything, except invoking Lores.
You don't break reality for fun, it's an emergency measure if you are otherwise overwhelmed.

@Artemischanged Unshaped to Shinma in the stunt. Should we use Leadership excellency? Yes, it's the last mote of essence we have, but it might be important, and MiMing Dragon should restore us some motes.

I don't think that's necessary.

If our peeps have to spend a WP per round to resist the intimidation, that's acceptable.
This won't take so long that they might run out.

Also I'm not sure if the Dragon is a valid target for MiM. It's not a spirit, it will likely die if slain. And we don't want to kill the Mantle of the Sin-Eater's chosen permanently, I think.

--[X] Sweep M20 Anniversary pg 423 Roll: dexterity + melee Difficulty 8 Actions: 1
--[X]Stunt: "Fire everything you got!" I scream to the denizens of my soul who have so generously taken this risk upon themselves as I launch carried by the iron particle filled winds of my being into the leg of the false dragon. Ramming into the near tree trunk thick leg of this Elder vampire. Usum's blade finds purchase in the false scales of the draconic Pretender. He's thrown off balance shaking the cavern as he lands on the ground knocked from Sandra's horrific reality bending curse no longer able to scrunch inside of it. Wellsprings of liquid oxygen start to spring from the cracked earth. Onto on to the Elder Abominations false flesh. Then my men open fire no longer hampered by the foul workings of the outside.

Explanation
I just straight up think that if our agents are given the opportunity to shoot using their rage and weapons in an environment where he's taking a -2 difficulty to hit and already has a -1 due to his size as well as not having to contend with the chaos sphere +4 that surrounds his flesh they might be able to blow most if not all of his Health levels off in one turn.

Dragon Paradox said he has to scrunching on himself to be able to stay within the area of the sphere of chaos anyway so by knocking him out of it we don't have to spend another Essence on a defense for a relatively minor area of effect.

As well as allowing us to not spend another Essence just to do relatively mediocre damage. Because the difficulty of an average hit equals out to eight anyway in this sphere of Chaos.

Might as well do something that allows everyone in the room to hit him possibly ending it instantly as he drowns under Electro laser fire.

Thus the Dragon emboldened twists and pulls away curling in fouled sanctuary, riding the madness. Yet the light of the hand-star is steady and by that light perhaps as much as by centuries of skill two shots find their mark, one in the wing another halfway down the serpentine neck.

Now that might have been two of the luckiest shots ever for all I know but he did take five damage 1/4 of his health bar in two hits from a squad that we know has the ability to make multiple attacks a round and that there are more than five of them I think.

Those shots were in fact pretty lucky, I tried to express that in the text, but just to be clear, those guys were redlining their implants and they got lucky.
