I think that yes, the Denarians are scary and we shouldn't underestimate them. But Molly and the rest of the crew are also far from little children and I think our special tricks slightly weigh them down due to the fact that we are free, yes.
But all this shows is that we need to pack our things for our team... And one more thing, Akariel really underestimated how dangerous it is to give away your power in an attempt to threaten during a villainous monologue. Classic mistake.

[X] Kill Akariel, it will likely win you favor with Silver for her nature, certainly with Azhi Dahaka for his history
So what are we going to do to turn this into a more stable connection with Azhi?

We aren't Micheal, don't have to follow the Knight's rules. There's something to be said about some Denarians being victims to eldritch intelligences older than the current creation in of themselves though. Don't.. really have the time to properly secure him right now and he has plenty of blood on his hands. Locking up Denarians is particularly dangerous since they can summon the Coin back apparently. Probably wouldn't work in Molly's soul since the Swords aren't allowed in there and the Swords need to be able to counter and respond to them for their game to work. So keeping him locked in a dungeon is likely an option though I don't really want to spend the essence.
Also killing him would get some points with Azhi and not doing so would probably turn this into an argument with him which would I could see resulting in certain people spending even more essence on an excellency to try and convince him. Not worth it when everything is still on fire and this is a marathon not a sprint and we've spent enough here as is. I feel like he'll have an issue with how we tend to spare people who surrender (not always killed the Hollow Man for example) later on if we continue to work with him but like Molly said that's a problem for the future. The guy doesn't even know he's speaking to royalty yet.

The corpse would probably make for a good regent and Crown foci besides.

There is a difference between Molly trying to be like her father, an Molly trying to be like a Knight of the Cross. We can still offer a chance of redemption to someone like Sanya, without being obligated to have to offer it to older hosts, who are only theoretically redeemable. And since we have derailed the canon, this should be Akariel's old host, who would have gotten killed in Small Favors.
The host could have had value as an intelligence asset imprisoned in Sanctuary, if we had captured them alone, but right now getting brownie points from the Abyssals is more valuable.
That's another reason to kill right now. To show that we aren't unreasonable about dangerous enemies who don't surrender.

@DragonParadox if the coin bearer is a shih, does that mean that we don't have to worry about a death curse since they are not a magic user?
It makes a death curse far less likely. The Coins are a path to many abilities some would consider unnatural, to quote a certain Chancellor, but a full wizard talent is not easily given even by the likes of them.

Yeah nah fuck this guy.
Yeah nah fuck this guy.
This actually sounds super strange. I would actually have expected Azhi Dahaka to have been wrong since he doesn't have all the information. Usum is part of Molly's soul , as much a part of her being as her fist or teeth are. Or, from another perspective, Usum is a demon Usum, and the edge of his blade is as much his teeth as they are those of a sabertoothed tiger. Of course, he's also conceptually a weapon of sorts... Yeah, this is something that we shall keep in mind, ok.
Still, we did good to follow the abyssals advice - it builds trust.
To clarify - would shaping defense stop the effect?
For him, and all others, I kinda want to, after we finish the remaining two abyssals, call Uriel. We have his Name from his own lips. Call him down, maybe even get Harry to do this, and ask him to provide what briefing he can. Maybe do some preliminary talking ourselves (definitely do that).

Yes, though you would still have to pry him out since he would be in a kind of metaphysical grapple.
