Shards of a Broken Sun [Deprecated; see link in final post for remake]

Reader mode
I'd say let her rest, and save the compassion channel, we need everyone to be in top condition later. For now, the excellency, raw dicepool, 1 willpower and any equipment bonus from JP field data should theoretically do the trick.
 
Let's just wait for Alectai to get back in and switch his write-in up a bit.

I've noticed people can be somewhat lazy about checking here to change their votes after Alectai's made a write-in. -.-;
 
Save the dice channel then, we can't afford to wreck ourselves over this. With 7 dice, we're still pretty likely to pull 5+ successes, which should be enough, especially if we get any equipment bonuses.

Let's leave Miki to rest a bit longer too if we can. One extra success and die is admittedly good (Because it puts us from "Likely going to get a 5/6 to a 6/7"), but the poor girl's been working tripletime lately. And we're trying to get as much rest as we can right now. Especially since this is just "Day One" of the "Week of Hell". Pacing ourselves is going to be important, given how the later Septentrions are much stronger then Dubhe.
 
Won't this make us eat another point of limit or so? I thought we got hit with a point when we tried to use a charm right after the Conception.

I mean, ideal scenario it's one point and since the Exaltation will recover in a day or two we don't get any other limit till after we've recovered all our willpower, but if eat another full limit track we're down to 4 Permanent Willpower. Which is a bit bad.

I know, but the previous winning option guaranteed at least 2 Charm activations, this one gets it all in one.

I'd avoid it if I can, but it's true that we need to try to do at least Something against Dubhe. This is the most effect with the least risk I could devise.

One thing I'm wondering is whether Amu's Second Occult Excellency will be needed to properly figure out Dubhe to plan a strategy around, beyond just observed characteristics.

Ah, really? Then this is way better.

Bleh, I tried to write a possible addition to the stunt based on flavoring the action as being done in a war room with one of those huge maps and having Amu stare at it/move figures around/read population figures, but the creative juices aren't flowing :(

If I have time I might attempt to do so later, or someone else could pick up on that idea of they want. It wouldn't meaningfully change the actual stunt, just be an environment flavoring that would hopefully up the rating.

I am currently harboring a grudge against peoples sleeping well(Having a whole body itch for the whole night isn't fun. Or conductive to sleeping either.), but the vote to wake Miki isn't going to win, so i am not bothering to vote for it.

Maybe we could use some of our Experience to increase War to 4/5 dots before doing the things in the vote? Raising Favored abilities work pratically instantly, so we should be able to transform the 3 automatics successes into 4 easily.
 
You have a relatively large amount of xp banked, and you're likely to get more before you have a chance to use it.

You can't actually raise abilities that way without Exa-kun, unfortunately.
 
That's the one upside to this lengthy time unable to spend XP, we'll have a ton of it when the smoke clears!

Then we just... Uh, need to send it. And unfortunately, given the pace of this game, we'll be hard pressed actually using it :(

I wonder if Amu and all her manifested Charas are enough to count as a minimum size mass combat unit for War charms.

5 individuals... So actually, yes!

Of course, we still need to hash out the bugs in her nature with regards to superpowers.
 
[X] Alectai it is.

I guess this means you won't get to see Hotsuin point-blank refusing you.
