Actually, I think we only have Steel Skin up and not VLE. So kind of backwards. At least, the last couple updates called out essence spent on Steel Skin and not for VLE.

We alrealdy use this too:
We just don't know how many sucess we have, DP don't put the roll.
Oh, you get the max of Stamina 8 out of that, hard not to with the DC reductions you were under.

Well we made the roll with I think -6 to our DC? So I expect enough to max it out.
Of course right now we are using a Shantai health bar so soak doesn't matter that much. In 15 minutes or so the health bar fades away in any case.

So our absorption has already a plus 8 (with Viridian Legend Exoskeleton) which, combined with examples of our absurd damage (even without the full strength of the Green Sun Nimbus) and our Shintai we can kill these monsters easily until the Gate closes.
No need to vote for anything else. Just attack.

I'm partial to throwing the bag away, not like it helps us.

We did activate it here... I think?
Those did run out while you were making your way down. You only have your most recent buffs.

And what are they? Because I'm confused.
*checks back*
Looking back I was confused, (sorry about that
). You guys had activated Manipulate Flesh way back when you were in the tower, that is what finally ran out after the fight with the Wardens. Anything you put on before that fight is still on.
Do we have VLE active? Do we have omnious chanting boss music going? I missed that, sorry (had to write and defend a proposal for the next six years of funding for the last week, and it wasn't very easy).
Anyway, the hounds seem fairly heavy hitters based on their response to Lydia's bolts, so we should keep the buffs and shintai. The witnesses aren't a problem - Tiffany can heal agg, and can certainly use a boost to her cult. We could probably convert them all, Tiffany could make some deals, and we could buy out whatever firm they are a part of. Not an issue, really.
We should probably also stunt using Shintai to convert this place into a pop up fortress. That would benefit us in the actual fight if they press the issue, provide cover for the bystanders, and mitigate the damage to their property.
Property damage isn't the most serious issue here, but crushing the home or place of business of someone riding the poverty line can put them in a literal death spiral.

We might as well just turn the area around the gate into that secure kill zone room we had installed in the palace.
The people here are not riding the poverty line, that is the better parts of the city. Here, in the place just on the other side of the veil from hell you would be lucky to find someone who is in sight of the poverty line.
Also fun thought, you guys got Open the Calibration Gate for New Years and it looked like you might not use it for a while, but the month was so packed that you did use it just before the end of January.

Man, it's still January?!
Talk about making the rest of us look bad. First month of the year and Molly's already made fantastic progress on her New Year's Resolutions: cutting off bad friends (giving Sandra to Winter), getting a good job (ruler of Boston sounds high-paying), cultivating a professional network (Mongolian Vampire and Vice-Chair of the Federal Reserve, oh my!), even making a good impression on her social peers (Yama Kings now know better than to throw hands with Molly).
This is gonna be a crazy year if things still this consistently insane.

That works, I'm not too particular beyond replacing the area so that when it snaps back after leave we won't leave any damage behind.
The problem is that this is the sort of thing that needs to be done with care and purpose rather than as a surprise. Especially since Nemesis wants to knock it over to advance its plans.
I think we need a solid foundation for the paranet and multiple major governments in a position to manage absorb the impact first.
Fair, but I think the same rationale applies.
Tiffany: When did you learn to do that?
Molly: Dunno, a few weeks ago maybe? Noticed it while watching fireworks. Why?
I wonder if we can get the same vein to pulse at the same time on Tiffany and Uriel's foreheads. You know, to help her connect with her estranged uncle like a good friend.

COMMENTARY
Dacca is in Bangladesh. Thats the tropics. In daytime.
Eesh. PR as well as tactical implications.
OTOH?
Its only been a year and half since the events of Dead Beat had zombie armies fighting on the streets of Chicago, and Dresden rode a zombie T-rex through downtown Chicago .
The Iphone was just announced this January, Samsung Galaxy only gets announced in 2 years.
Cheap smartphones are not yet a thing anywhere, whether the First World or the Third World. And there are no security cameras on construction sites in the slums in the Third World.
If this is an active construction site, that means its daytime.
And Nergui, as a Yin-aspected kuejin, only gets a couple minutes of direct sun exposure before he begins to take damage, so he isnt going to be much help out here.
On the flip side, that same sunlight will have an effect on demon servitors and similar minions from a Yin-aspected Hell; they step out here, those of them vulnerable to sunlight are taking debuffs from the sunlight.
Any akuma will have to roll for Wave Soul because sunlight.
Doesnt matter. Nergui has Authority.
He can burn 1 Chi and jedi mind trick all the mortals here to leave.
While Molly + Lydia + Lash defend the Gate.
VOTE
[X] Some of you try to get the people to run while others fight at the gate until it closes
-[X] Nergui uses Authority to clear the area of mortal civilians, and then gets out of the direct sunlight: 1 Chi
-[X] Molly + Lydia + Lash (+/- the rescues) defend the Gate until it closes
-[X]STUNT: "Get the civies gone, Nergui" you bark, deflecting a claw before half-swording a Hound through the neck, ripping its essence apart even as Lydia's bolts takes another in the face. "And get into cover." As you speak, two miles above your head the world bends to your will, concentrating a shaft of sunlight around your location, and through the portal into depths of the Wicked City that had never before felt its touch. You grapple the suddenly limp weight of the Hound, as Lash detonates another flashbang in the face of the attackers, and then you hurl it like a missile through the Gate.
RATIONALE
Its the tropics in daytime.
Nergui is a Bone Flower, hence Yin-aspected. He's an elder, so he undoubtedly has mitigations, but the direct sunlight is not great for him. And he speaks Bengali, so he can talk to the civilians. So disperse the civilians with Authority, then duck into a building and provide arrow fire.
Molly, Lydia and Lash have no trouble with the sunlight. Neither does anyone else.
And the three girls still have Physical Attribute 10 from Lash's buffs.
Molly specifically is at like Soak 21, Health 23/27. They can hold this.
Im half-inclined to let the attackers step out into the Sun and roll for Wave Soul because sunlight + Hell Queen + Demon + Death Exalt. But Im not sure all of the attackers have the standard suite of weaknesses that akuma do.
This would have been a great time to have the charm that gives you a magical chaingun.

Your own inner quote says "The victim must be able to understand the vampire" to give commands. Am I missing something?

Less than 500 years ago. It's still understandle, I think. I can double check if you'd like?
Why not Shintai up a big reflective wall to bathe the corner of the wicked city we fled from in natural sunlight? That'd be fun to charge into as a demon and might do something screwy to the other side as a final dig at Mikaboshi.

I didn't consider the sunlight issue and I am guessing that DP didn't either. It certainly puts a damper on this whole gate defense thing. Most of the stuff that might come through will melt like sugar in rain.
Part of the reason the maskerade holds up. This sort of thing just doesn't happen in broad daylight.
