Seeing how the entire point of this little excercise is to get information, capturing the most well-informed ghost in the area makes sense.
Also, having a relatively strong ghost as an ally for the rest of the mission or even future missions could be useful.
Of course, we could just kill her again instead, because apperently killing the same person again for the lolz regardless of potential use is something some players want, for some reason.

...huh. I was reading through some of the older posts in the quest, and look what I stumbled on from around December time:
Is that good guesswork, the GM giving him/her spoilers, or just plain weird?
I think that's just being genre savvy: CG recieved elements of Exalted. Exalted has the metaphysics to allow for dead characters to return if dramaticaly appropriate. Villette is a named character and of some minor importance in canon, and we just walked to a shadowland where she died. It does'nt realy take a lot to make such a guess based on that.
Important: People who die in shadowlands always leave ghosts

Also important: People die in shadowlands if they are killed there. ...Wait, sorry, wrong series.

It makes more sense in context. So it isn't really mock-worthy.

It sounded like I was mocking veekie? In that case, I'm sorry, didn't mean it that way. It was meant to just make fun of the FS/N (which I still love), as I felt it was the perfect opportunity to bring that gem up again.
And you are right it is a relevant piece of information. This mean that if we are going to be killing any living beings here (especially Exalts other than Abyssals), we should probably make sure when first killing them that they don't come back to haunt us.

Was it actually a shadowland when she died, I wonder? It became one during the massacre/battle, but was it one yet when she actually died?
Pretty sure someone who dies in an event that creates a Shadowland would count anyway. After all, both the Hun and Po souls remain around for three days before the higher soul goes to lethe or the Underworld. Even if it was'nt a Shadowland the instant she died, it sure as hell was by the end of the day, so her soul would still be around when it turned into a Shadowland.

I mean that the full line is " People die when they are killed. That's how it should be." Because Shirou had just given up Avalon which had been repairing him from all the suicidally stupid things he was doing.
Edge case, but any slaughter which creates a Shadowland is also probably Significant enough to spawn a vengeful ghost after.
Especially without proper rites.

Oh, you actually meant making fun of FS/N? I knew the full version and the context when I made that post, but it is just so fun to make fun of it if you take that one sentence seperate from everything else.
Anyway, back to business. No matter what we do, I think that having the Anuhles as a distraction while our Exalts and other demons strike the ghosts while they are focusing on the giant spiders could work. As the one leading them looks to be quite fixated on demonic spiders and also seems to have supernatural-level awarness regarding them (though hopefully not against anything else), I think it would be a good starting point on how we will go about this.
@Alexander89 - are we in range to use our Stormrod on her?
Also, given we didn't do any rolls, did we actually use any of our Essence or stunt dice in the last turn?

Oh, right right.
Those that were described in the last posts. Essence-wise everyone is 3/4 full.
Sure, but that's probably better to discuss it via PM.
Less: she's 20 meters from where Lelouch is hiding.
I believe it's the first.
*cackles maniacally*
Better than I thought. Ok, I've got a plan brewing. It's night now, right? How illuminated is the area Villetta is in?

Very poorly. Lelouch has no problems thanks to WTD, but others aren't so lucky.
So, if, say I was to have Lelouch quietly begin singing The Itsy Bitsy Spider, we could use Darkling Grace Complete to have The Things Which Lurk in Corners generate a large number of shadow illusion Anuhles also singing the song as a chorus directly behind Viletta?

Also, have a video with the music in question sung in appropriate fashion to listen when you do the finishing touches for your plan.
Ok, got my plan done. @Alexander89 - let me know if there are any issues with it. To everyone else, let me know if you've got any other suggestions.
[X] Plan Itsy Bitsy Spider
Strategy:
- You will need to get out of your current location before the roof collapses, but you will need a distraction to do so. Fortunately, the knight commanding the enemy forces is close enough to you and has revealed something she fears. You will quietly begin singing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" and use Darkling Grace Complete to generate shadow illusion Anuhles who will sing along within enemy lines to cause a distraction, specifically behind the knight ghost. Once her back is turned you can shoot her with your Stormwand in an attempt to disable her. If she is incapacitated, once the other enemies are defeated you can see about possibly having Kaguya bind her to her will for interrogation after you leave, using threats of spiders to make her cooperate with the binding if need be. If not, you'll just need to kill her, so have Milly and/or Kaguya use their attack Charms to finish the job.
Charm Use:
- Darkling Grace Complete to create shadow illusion Anuhles within the enemy lines. Have them spawn in groups of seven.
- Reality Raking Claws during your shot againt the knight ghost, in case you have to kill her - that way she'll stay dead this time.
- If it's necessary to achieve a surprise attack, use Calulating Dho-Hna Angles. If surprise can be achieved otherwise (enemy's back is turned) don't bother.
- Three uses of First Oramus Excellency on the shot.
- Three uses of First Oramus Excellency to enhance a War roll, if needed.
Stunt: You are glad you are wearing a mask, if only so your allies won't see the devilish grin on your face. You begin singing quietly. "The itsy-bitsy spider crawled up the water spout." Soon enough, the shadows begin to join in, seven illusory demons spawning behind the enemy leader singing much more loudly. "Down came the rain and washed the spider out." You almost pity the ghost whose mind is snapping already as she screams at the unspeakable nightmares that have spawned behind her, desperately trying to fend them off. You take that as your signal to attack, round the corner and fire at her with your Stormwand.

wow, I think this plan is cruel enofgh that it also counts as a dig aginst the ebon dragon, since it rubs in his face exactly what he lost when oramus stole lelouch out from under him.
