Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

[X] Just what case Mab gave Harry
-[X] [Stunt] You are tempted, oh so tempted to ask this being for knowledge. To lean ever so forward, adjust your clothes just so, making best use of your beauty to lure lore old, obscure and perhaps forbidden from it. But no. That would be crossing the line from helping to betrayal. To do this would be to take advantage of his situation for your own profit. You won't do this. And when Harry learns of it, maybe you'll be able to ask your questions in the open.

We shouldn't abuse Mouse or Harry's trust any more than we have too.

It's also probably a dead end to ask about exaltation related stuff. Harry had plenty of time to consult with him, and if he knew something relevant he probably would have shared it.

Plain and simple, it's better to delay the detailed talk with Bob until Harry is there. For a whole number of reasons.
 
Mmhh. Especially since its not actually combat exclusive.
Dump a swarm of rodents in a house to find something hidden, or a swarm of birds/insects to run a grid square search for someone thats missing. Or have rats attempt to track a fleeing perp by smell.
Not sure if the swarm would be smart enough to do something like that?

As you move a little closer to look at it you feel a cold draft around your ankles and freeze. You don't feel normal cold. Looking down you see a brass circle inscribed on the bare concrete. There is something there in the middle, no under it, bound by stone and circle, old and powerful... and oddly familiar. Lasciel, that is where be put the coin.

Wait a second, why can I feel it? You wonder abruptly, it's not like you could feel Harry's focus or his shield bracelet even when you were sitting next to him in the car.

As you reach out for the unwavering flame of certainty at the heart of your mind, or your soul the cold goes away. It was reaching out to you revealing itself to you. "Cute, better luck never bitch." You like to think the core of Lasciel is seething in her magically enforced time out.
I am kinda curious what would happen if we take up a coin.
Not enough to try it, at least until we have Ego-Infused Pattern Primacy to be absolutly sure she can't fuck with us.

But still curious.

@DragonParadox
Also a totally different question, would Lash dissapear from Harry's head if someone else took up the Coin, or is she independant enough to remain?
 
Yeah, secret lore is tempting, really tempting, but that's not what we came here for. Let's not violate Harry or Mouse's trust, or waste time when we don't yet know just what kind of deadline Harry is on or how difficult the next step of our self-appointed task will be. We've got to leave ourselves time for a good bleach bath, too, since we're getting very low on Essence.

  1. The Fallen would bounce off you like stone striking stone, the Celestial Exalted cannot be possessed so cannot be hosts to the Fallen, nothing would stop you from communicating with it or facilitating the coin's journey to some other place where a mortal can find it
  2. Lash would remain until Harry is killed or she is removed some other way. Odds are the new host would be instructed to kill him to prove themselves

IIRC, the Lash which lives in Harry's brain is just a diminished snapshot of Lasciel, not an actual extension of the Fallen. Unless Harry picks up the coin again to give the original a chance to update and/or tamper with her copy, I don't see Lasciel and Lash ever being able to interact with one another.

I believe the case is different here compared to canon because we have Exalted's cosmology added to the setting. I think DP mentioned something about this early in the thread.

Say @DragonParadox can you tell us how much xp we have currently managed to get?

There are a bunch of things people are gunning for and I was curious if we can get them all in one turn.

I think giving Mouse the power of speech should be worth at least 10 XP. Regardless of anything else we do, that single act has made the world a much better place. 🐕

We can do that at the Carpenter's place so I don't think we need to worry about it too much.

We can just have Molly sleep in her bleach bath like she did at the last level up, and wake up early enough to clean up the mess before leaving.

That said, we should probably scram as soon as we have the details on this job so that Charity doesn't get her mace and shotgun out to come looking for Molly.
