Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

4)Nobody says you have to come out of Undertown by the same way you came in, there's a whole realm beneath Chicago down there. Most entrances are guarded but not all and even for those that are your little trio is not what you would call lacking in the combat or social department.
Yes we have Mikelle with us. When we want to leave he can just focus on finding someone else to help and province should find us an effective route for that. There is usually someone that needs help. That might lead to some side tracking if there are many people that need help in undertown, but that's a small price to pay.

0 dots in Medicine, no healing spells, our closest Charm to the task is primarily designed for something else entirely, and only helps with healing as a side-benefit to the main purpose: still got a legendary 5 successes on the roll.

Exalts: Cheating Cheaters who Cheat since before the dawn of the First Age.

Also, I'm putting this in my mental folder of evidence that our Exaltation was a Twilight Caste back when it was still Solar. It still remembers when Medicine was a Caste ability for it, and Exaltations can only be changed, but not made lesser.
 
I wonder if what we're seeing is something like the Capriocorpus having bodyjacked her; and is planning to use the fact that she is now in the body of the blood descended child of the oldest Ankou as a hook to steal his mantle.

Perhaps sacrificing her soul in the process.

@DragonParadox, can we ask Gard how fresh the tracks are, etc. she should be an accomplished tracker with her experience?

Well you know there are bats producing guano all over the place and yet the tracks are clear enough for Molly to recognize the shape of them. They cannot be older than a few hours. No one present knows enough about guano accumulation to make a better guess than that.

If we had realized just how good our success would be we would not have bothered calling 911. Also we really need to get a dot in medicine if we wish to continue avoiding lethality as much as possible.
 
911 is still good to remove the mooks from activity for the weekend.
I doubt they would have been very active anyway. No one wants to tear up their stiches. Mostly I don't think that the hospital will be able to give them anymore care then we have already given them. Only thing that they will be able to provide is a bed and a bill.

I think only 2 or 3 are seriously wounded, the rest could theoretically go active again.
One even surrendered unharmed.

Those seriously injured enough to be in hospital will be sedated. The others will be in jail.
Thats means Kattrin cant interrogate them for information on who staged this raid, and has to wait for whatever the police can find out and write in reports for her contacts to get.

Thats worth the trouble.

1) AK guy is on sedatives and antibiotics for the next week, and on inpatient observation for at least 3-5 days.
The others only require painkillers

2)Kattrin doesnt strike me as the sort of person overly concerned with minion healthcare.
They'd all just get painkillers and crystal meth

Besides simple charity and an abundance of caution in the event that we missed something? Calling the cops and EMTs means Kattrin cant interrogate them or just recycle them and put them back in the field with new weapons; those not receiving medical care will be held by the police on firearms charges till at least Monday. Which reduces her manpower availability.

Essentially the same thing they did to Dresden, just with lower level mooks.
Every little bit counts.
Recycling 4 mooks isn't a huge deal for us, but the cops or the FBI Coming down here might be.

When we go to leave we almost certainly need to take another way out at the very least. Which could be fun if we're in a hurry.

With our Crown and Urge, we are so painfully a Twilight, it's not even funny. But even leaving that aside, we are "Brigid's heir". I am choosing to interpret this as us having her exaltation. Which obviously means that we are Twilight based.

I would disagree.

Look at the time and effort we've spent to clear this tripwire without warning Kattrin. Giving her spare troops allows her flexibility of response too, and we have to account for a broader spectrum of scenarios.Whittling away her mooks is not going to solve the problem on its own, but its worth a couple dice in its own right, assuming we were modelling this as a dice pool problem.

Especially since she isnt a Chicago native, or familiar with the city, and literally only showed up like 3-4 days ago.
But is trying to run an op here.

    -[X]Crown of Eyes on shoeprints: What have the shoes that made those prints witnessed since they were bought.
    -[X]STUNT: Frowning, you stare at the distinctive shoe patterns, then crouch to get a closer look. "I think I know those shoes. I think I know the owner of those shoes." Focusing, you open your eyes and look for a single, endless moment, then shake your head. Throttling the impulse to run the tracks down, you turn away. "Let's get Cindy first. I'll fill you in."
