"Greetings, oh Prince of the Earth. Long have I slumbered, waiting for your return. Let me guide you to your panoply. Your Warstrider is eager for battle". Or something to that effect.Imagine if we got a 108.

Just wait until someone tells them about the Archive. Knowing everything ever recorded by a human hand is just cheating.
Letting little folk and mobsters know where the dragon nest is will probably get us some competition for it. I think it's worth the effort to do it ourselves, possibly with the inclusion of HMP devils bound to handmade fun sized construct equipment.

Possibly, yes. WIn a lottery to buy a lot of mobile construction equipment, inhabit it with demons, have them help? Then use them as improvised guards / starting to expand into the underground network until we get a proper underground base. Yeah, I can see this. We still probably want to bring Harry and Bob here, to help with the warding, I think. And yes, buy an aboveground building somewhere nearby, to make our own entrance into underground. Maybe have Harry move in there. He could work as a guard for rent.

Collection of what Gard knows about us.
Molly downplaying her divination talent.
We do not want her to see us divining things.
Molly downplaying her crafting skills.
Molly demonstrating her crafting skills.
Molly surprisingly good at "medical crafting".
Phone capable of interpreting surprisingly complex orders.
Can scare near a dozen ghouls into flight.
Gard making a connection to our phone and divination.
Gard finding out Molly really undersold her divination talent.
Spirit recognizes us as divine, older and stronger than an Ankou's daughter.
Hiring Harry would probably be safe, but I doubt we could get him to move. He's pretty stubborn about his habits and space.
Nice. Now I'm jelly. Definitely voting for Flight.
The dice gods are happy with us
If this place is partly in the NeverNever then it might not be a physical distance thing, and more a resonance thing.
Probably gonna be costly to get a house that links to it anyway.
Im thinking at least a couple million, as compared to a tenth of that for a regular house. Gonna need that lottery
I think we're going to need to map out Undertown one of these days too.
Just pick the right focus and use Crown of Eyes.
Eh. She isnt stupid.
Needlessly antagonizing a useful respurce and risking antagonizing a Knight by spreading their secrets around is unwise.
We should probably ask though.
Oh sure.
I meant that Molly would just work on it weekends until its done; 2 AP per month would have us done by Thanksgiving.
Our birthday.
Ley line nexuses are known to everyone who bothers to map them. Not secret.
The Little Folk know where the site is anyway; cant keep the little buggers out of anything.
And Gard is here, so Marcone will know.
White Court vamps lurk in the vicinity as well. And I wont be surprised if we find ghouls as well.
We arent going to be able to keep the refurbishment secret either; there's enough traffic through here that people will notice.
And the place was designed as a train station. Thematically its a transit point.
We start to clean it up, it will draw people.
We will just have to deter any rival claimants by the time-honored precedent of Dibs.
I quote:
Hire them and some wyldfae; Little Folk work for pizza and possibly board.
We dont need construction equipment when Molly has Tool Constructs, just guards to help the Wyrm keep the place unmarred when we arent working.

The wyrm would be Buddhist?Imagine if we got a 108.
Not sure how we'd protect said building. On the other hand, if it's an occupied one, income from rent after we blow our lottery windfall building a manse, a hellbike, etc., and masquerade considerations would at least minorly inconvenience a significant subset of those who might wish to interfere with it.
I think we need to keep in mind that if we make it, as was demanded, "a place more fit to dwell", that sounds an awful lot like a home. I'm not sure if wyrms get thresholds (I think so, I think anything that calls a place home does, but I'm not sure), but making it a home and not living in it ourselves sounds like a really quick way to lose it to anything that does live there. Especially if we do get it warded, since I'm pretty sure they'd have to be the wyrm's wards rather than ours if they're going to endure on the wyrm's threshold.
We should plan to finish by our 18th birthday and move in promptly on that date.
And if by chance wyrms don't get thresholds, the time devoted to maintaining wards goes from "a significant favor from Dresden, requiring some thought given to repayment" to "every couple days at minimum, every dawn and dusk strongly preferred". And we are a very very long way from being able to afford the full-time services of a Wizard of the White Council.

White Court dregs might not be good workers (I think we would want at least some obedience / allegiance buying charm before we hire them). And HMPed heavy construction equipment should work as improvised guards, especially if we mount some firearms on it. In general, automated turrets with HMP are our best friends for protecting our layer, I think.
Would still be worth it.
We could try at least. And maintain a room for him in case anything happens to his dwelling.

Now I really want to buy False Spring Beckons to get some of those White Court dregs as our minions xD
HMPed turrets. Possibly HMPed laser turrets. All the turrets. And wards.
There are probably enough "good aligned" minor practitioners in Chicago that we could make the house (if it's a multi-apartment complex) exclusive for practitioners. Add in "all the utilities are proofed against techbane" (via HMP) and we'd have a very nice business going.
Kind of not feeling it, this place is to close to the Nevernever. Seems to open to attack as well.

An excellent idea, although that does kind of ring the dinner bell for all the many things that'd love to have magical snacks or to just gradually eliminate magic from the mortal breeding pool; see also White Night. We'd best be prepared to take on a lot more and a lot subtler opposition a lot quicker if we take that route.
We dont need them as workers, we need them as guards to keep troublemakers out. Call them a Station Guard.
And the only charm they need is Mercy in Servitude, which is 1 dot/4XP. The Dregs are having trouble with their condition as Whampires, and MiS fixes that as long as they serve. They stop serving, they stop benefitting.
This is not a situation for major construction equipment anyway; the basic concrete structure is sound, else the place would be collapsing. Its the surface and fittings that are all messed up.
Any expansions can wait until after we have the basic renovation done, and maybe until we have our Hell and its resources.

[X] Take the Earth Wyrm's offer, much faster transport around this area of Undertown (Cost 8 AP of work with the tools you have available; potential future access to Dragon's Nest)
And I want to point out that, if we're working in a Dragon's Nest to fix it up, we're going to get Dragon's Nest essence recharge rates while we're there. Meaning we can spend essence like water. That will let us spend it on not only the Tool Constructs and Craft Excellency Charms, but also social Excellencies while we're there.
8 AP, a month and a half of total time, exposed to the cheerful idle chatter of an Exalt running social Excellencies? By the time we finish fixing this place up, we'll have the locals eating out of the palm of our hand. There's a reason they say that if you let a Social Exalt talk, you've already lost.

They may be findable to people who can and do map ley lines, which isn't exactly everyone even if it's most everyone who's considered a true supernatural power, but this is the sort of place that's too much trouble to exploit unless someone else does all the work first.
The best play is to keep things as quiet as we can until we're settled enough that it isn't worth it to dislodge us.
A safe house is a good idea, but I really doubt anything will come out of attempts to get him to move.
Even if we could it might not be a good idea to try. His winter court godmother does things like maintain the nevernever defenses for his home. Considering how close the last station is to the spirit world she may get tempted to poke at us or something.

Does it? The charm only talks about bakemono/fomori.
IDK how the merging of exWod and Dresden Files affects that.
It also only suspends the torment while they are doing work for us and stops as soon they do anything else. Like sleep.
Which False Spring Beckons does. It works for Essence rating * weeks and costs a single essence.
Brainstorm, Gremlin from the wicked city possessing rats to act as Skaven contractors.
Remember;
With a dragon nest to put a nursery in we can turn Undertown into our own personal Skavenblight.

Also @DragonParadox sorry, but would accepting the wyrm's offer count as "binding an unwholesome being into service" for Essence regen?
