Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

[jk] Have Clippy search the Dark Web for aspiring mad scientists. Surely there is at least one in need of large, perfect diamonds for a Doomsday Laser? Hollywood said so!

Usum: Fascinating... Tell me mistress why are they called 'mad'?

And then explain to our mother that we need to be trapped in a literally freezing room soaked in water so we can make better diamonds to purchase a car from auction to get one over on someone we have already killed.

Not water, antifreeze. Water would not stay liquid. Much more reasonable. :V

[X] Harry, wizards probably get paid in strange things all the time

Yeah, probably a wizard would make the most use of that. For a note, the quality and purity of diamonds made like that would be top notch - very attractive for wizards and scientists.

Excellent idea, I agree!

Don't 1s not count since Crafts is a key-ability?

Should be 7 successes, not sure if that matters.

You are right, but it still does not get you to the 11 successes you would need to fake natural diamonds. That is the threshold because it is literally inhuman 'bubble shaping nano-tech' levels of crafting

That was a tech roll.

It's craft, you are not making advanced technology, you are literally making a shinny rock, it's hard to get any simpler than that. True you are using advanced technology, but the same would be true if you used a electric saw to cut planks and it would be rather silly to call that technology over craft.

Not water, slicked in oil, as that clearly makes it better.

More seriously, locking the door when there are children around make sense, and it's easy enough to explain powers that work better in the cold.
 
[X] Lydia told you she has a lawyer who is used to the spooky side of stuff, maybe strange diamonds are covered

Machine oil works well, I think. Lower evaporation rate.

And you know what? Let's do this.

[X] Together with Clippy search Dark Web for Mad Scientists looking for artificial diamonds to use in their devices and willing to put their money where their mouths are
-[X] Use Boiling Sea Mastery by spilling machine oil over your head.
-[X] Have Clippy lock you in a garage until you find who you are looking for to trigger Cracked Cell Circumvention
-[X] Lower the temperature in your room via Tool Transcending Constructs below freezing to trigger Without Honor Without Hope
-[X] Stunt: "Mom, I'll be in the garage for the next hour or so, it's for a project to help someone; I'll explain later!" you shout, before locking yourself in, and pushing the key out under the door. Your soul unfurls around you, chilling the air to below freezing temperature, as Clippy takes over the electronic locks of the garage door. Time to look for the inspired inventors out there. If they are out there, you and your trusty demonic phone will find them.

Something like this. I'll probably switch back to Lydia vote soon. Still, it could be fun.

[x] Gard feels like the sort of person who would buy diamonds no questions asked

Meme plans have a way of not working terribly in this quest :3 also genius party member get.

So, chances of finding a mad scientist? Let's assume we need 5 successes at difficulty 9 for it to work.

Intelligence 4 + Clippy's Computers 3 = 7 base dice. 11 with whwh and stunt. -4 with ccc and bsm for difficulty 5. We have a chance. 50/50 probably.
 
Why would we deliberately give a mad scientist what they want? Also if they are rich enough to buy artificial diamonds why would they be buying them on the dark web instead of over-the-counter?

Well, they aren't called mad for no reason. And, well,
genius part member get.
Honestly, the more reasonable thing would be to go to Lydia. If it doesn't work, we certainly should. @DragonParadox how pressed for time are we? If we waste several hours on the search, are we certain to miss the window to sell the diamonds?
 
So, handmade nanostuff/molecular structure adjustment is somewhere in the vicinity of 11ish successes.

Interesting. There was an argument about possibility of getting second dot of soak on our chainmail; this does provide a rough target number for that sort of stuff, I suppose.

Maybe liquid sunscreen? Or just keep ourselves covered in essential oils. There are people that do that for fashion and various skin care. Might be a little expensive, but we should be able to afford it soon.

Or perfume.
