If our minions feel despair at the state of their lives, we are doing something wrong.
And since RVD doesn't render us naked, and Mana maggots aren't characters, I am fairly sure we could put them in a backpack and travel via rvd with them

"Inexperienced practicioners shouldn't try to magic away delicate problems, Exalted with absolute effects in their Charms definitly should."
Simply put mind-magic in Dresden Files is finicky and has side-effects even if used by the best, but Exalted doesn't have that problem.
I think a different lesson is much more sensible here:

So, just to make sure. Is this
Because if so, that's a proper magical material, as valuable as what it can be used to hold.
the same kind of black jade that was used to contain our Exaltation after it was unearthed deep in the subtle realms as described here:
?

Yes you did get more of the stuff although given that the only source of gossamer you know is not what one would call ethical Molly is not sure what she would use the stuff for.
Well, if it can hold gossamer and an Infernal exaltation, I am fairly sure that it could be used as magical insulation. So, making summoning circles out of it, and lining high tech items with it to prevent tech bane effects comes to mind. Maybe making stealth armor out of it, to prevent our aura from leaking out and being observed. There are certainly many applications.

I like the idea of recruiting minions to help us work on the train station. Yes we will be working at 5x or 10x speed, but even if we need 10 minions working to get half as much work done as we would in the same time, we are still saving time. We can get 10 minions, and our minions will have a lot less obligations on their time then us. We will probably still have to to the fine work personally, but there should be plenty of simple labor we can delegate. Maybe we can finish things before our meeting with Mab.
Lets turn Under town into a real town! Provide gainful employment!

They're crazy cannibals, even after MiS removes the base issue they're still probably going to be less qualified than Gollum for pretty much any job we could name.
The vampires are in the same boat, though their powers are more useful once they have a handle on them.

if we're sharing exp can we expect companions and future companions to do things outside of us that earn exp dp? Cause if we're splitting exp so many ways in the future or even just two ways now we're gonna see things not progressing all that much? Stuff like personal studying, personal quests, stuff just done when we aren't around?

funniest part we really did attack unprovoked.Brief paraphrase of this arc:
A group of noble scientists* who conducted a complicated set of beneficial** experiments which could significantly push forward the magic science get unprovokedly attacked and mercilessly slained by Princess of Hell and her pet vampires***!
*Let's not linger about appearance of these scientists, ok?
**Beneficial for the scientists themselves, of cause!
***And the servant of White God, but this does not matter, right?
Well, I think it is an appropriate header for the article in some kind of "Midwestern Arcane"!
That already happened, it's not like you were there or helping when Lydia persuaded Harry to take payment and that got you 1 XP.

I'm gonna point out dp it seems in dresden files from what we've seen the majority of gods are around and still just fine. Like a large amount seem to still be active if limited in their actions. Like you can change things word of god is gods are fine personally without worship though.
Gods which still have a purpose that hooks them up with a secondary mantle or worshipers are still active, most of the Old Gods have neither.

thats not said at all though thats just your head canon I believe? greek and roman gods, aesir, other gods etc etc. I doubt all of them strictly have important purposes. Plenty of gods are just in the nevernever and completely fine. They don't even need worshipers to interact at very low levels.

And so many of them are gone. It's not like we have seen dozens of Olympians in canon.

yes cause the books about gods haven't come up yet and the stuff they do currently isn't godly according to jim they do stuff like professional wrestling and can't actively interfere like they used to. Like what your saying is head canon heck butcher said both greek and roman gods are around they clearly aren't dependent on worship if both can exist.
Edit: Like word of jim their not around for obvious reasons their not allowed to be without doing what odin does at best they get things that don't affect mortal lives as jobs. other aren't dead so much as not present.

While I will do my best to follow the books I will not strive to follow random author notes as much.

I mean fair enough as long as you admit its heavy au and the head canons you have aren't all right then I'm good. I just thought you believed that said old gods are mostly dead instead of just not present or low key since thats all their allowed.

yeah I was just nerd triggered since these were coming off as him talking like this is canon when jim has as much said gods are around and doing stuff they just mostly aren't allowed to do meaningful stuff in the mortal world and of course we don't deal with nevernever gods. Their in the nevernever after all.
I am trying to reconcile two cosmologies with distinct world-building elements. Doing that and following every single Word of God post from Butcher is not really tenable IMO.

Oh no no its fine as long as its quest canon and not you saying its book canon. I enjoy the quest and so as long as thats clear I'm happy.
That would be funny, but my bet is that the ones that go crazy are biased towards the fear and despair brand vamps.
The young white court vamps are still pretty human, it'd make sense if the ones that can't smother their sense of empathy completely but need to induce say suicidal depression to stay alive would start having issues.
Not that they aren't all harmful in their own way, but it'd be easier for a Raith to lie to themselves about it until they're fair enough gone not to care.
