Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Reader mode
I honestly don't know of any candidates for an invitation from the dead other than the Neverborn or the Deadlords. It's no wonder these attempts were unsuccessful... Although the Abyssals themselves are candidates, but that's doubtful.

In any case, a very creepy place in every sense. But the lore is extremely interesting
 
Just when I thought this place couldn't get any creepier... :o

Very fitting for the birthplace of something like the Black Court, though.
 
Yeah, this is a proper horror story of the lovecraftian nature. People who hide themselves underground in the ancient cursed catacombs, the whole community breeding themselves for the express purpose of dying, willingly, the only reason their master not having destroyed the world being their overeagerness to kill themselves...

Neverborn are foul, pitiful, disgusting things.
 
[X] Try to keep Necro-Bob talking, as long as he thinks he's torturing he'll have a reason to keep going
-[X] Try to engage it in occult debate - at the core of its self it is a spirit of knowledge arcane and foul in equal measure, playing to its nature should keep it engaged
-[X] Occult, Empathy or Subterfuge excellency, whichever one is more appropriate
-[X] STUNT: "Ah, herr spirit, should I make you a bird then, to fly away, or perhaps a goat?" you tease, making the appropriate figures on the wall of this foul tomb with your hands, the practice you had entertaining your younger siblings helping you in the most unexpected ways. "The shadow of a thing is way too easily manipulated, if one has an appropriate light source. What was the sun that cast these shadows, don't you wonder?"

I'm honestly very confused but… this seems reasonable?
 
Well that's horrific.

Though it makes me wonder if this place represents a vulnerability to the remaining blamps and anything associated with them. DF magic is big on association based thaumaturgy, and this hellhole is the place where those freaks were given form.

We were told that making this place into splendor is probably not viable, but that doesn't necessarily preclude adding one to it. Like an after market focusing lens for the Death Star, or our own line to the invitation offered here.

I'm particularly curious about what could be done if we integrated an Invincible Assertion splendor into the environment, tuned to allow a mortal wizard to cast thaumaturgy on things touched by this place. With the right set up we could make the sort of rituals that shake the world reasonably easy to execute, then get a Essence using wizard like Harry to pump free successes into it to make things even worse.

Who knows what we could do to these assholes with a mad science project like that?

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

You would first have to figure out how to bring mortals here without melting their insides, right now all you have are highly enhanced cyborgs used to operating in hostile environments

Anyway good night guys, see you tomorrow with ancient horrors man was not meant to know but had a hand in.
