Negotiate Further - Summer Rose will only accept the truth, and a world made 'safe' from my actions. What, exactly, does this mean? Is it possible to hammer out a deal with her at all? There is only one way to find out.

I really want to do this but don't know how to write out a good argument. Maybe asking what she would do if she was in Salem's place?

Quick question but does Salem know that Raven and Summer have relatives/kids back home?

If so, we could definitely try leveraging "Don't you want to see your family again?" To dissuade them from fighting and then maaaybe bringing them to the negotiating table again?

Either that, or we continue pulling them apart until Branwen leaves so we have more of a shot at killing Summer.

Salem doesn't know for sure, but she knows Summer's left Something back home.
 
[X] Plan Immortality and Pure Destruction
-[X] Resuscitate an Agent [Hazel]
--[X] Trying to change Rosie's Semblance to transfer afflictions rather than spread them had proven a false hope for release, but not fruitless. Share godly vitality.
-[X] Write-In: Exploit Weakness [Raven]
--[X] Keep vigil against Summer, feign an opening to Raven. Let her aggression draw her too close for Summer to save. Then, "share" your other affliction.

Hope my write-in option gets approved.

I'll allow both of those, yeah. I'd like clarification on which affliction precisely Salem is sharing, and I'd like to be clear, the latter roll is going to be Tough, but doable (thinking atm 3d10, Risky (2), potentially 4d10.)

EDIT: With the clarification that's 4d10, yeah. Complications would be ending up partially attached to Raven by goo in the transfer, being semi-immobilised doing this, or the process being semi-traumatic and reminiscent of Salem's attempt to kill herself in the Pool.

With Raven? The Grimmstuff staining her, presumably inside and out.

Not following up on our negotiation seems silly, but I've no idea where to take it further.

I suggest if this ends up even remotely successful, we go full on physical violence + desire for destruction next turn and hope to simply kill any one of them outright.

    • Whelp. That's going to be... interesting.

    If the Grimm goop works like Volume 7-8 showed, then contaminating every cell, every sinew, every bit of Raven's flesh is just going to instantly turn her to reddish-black slurry.

    But if it doesn't, if it somehow reaches a stabilizing or slowing point akin to Cinder Fall, then Raven's got a very painful but minor debuff along with a new tool.
     
    Only four votes isn't really that many, but it's enough to call it. Rolling now.

    EDIT: ... that's a close call. One success, one complication. But that's enough, for now.

    EDIT 2: Forgot to change the name of the second one, that's meant to be rezzing Hazel. Flawless success there.

    Damn, y'all really do be heading straight towards canon, huh...

    Welp. We have a success with the 8 since it's over seven, but we also got hit with a complication because the roll was Risky 2. I'm not sure if there were any modifiers, so the 3 and 6 don't affect anything.
     
    My thinking was that he'd be most capable of keeping Summer busy so that we can go on a proper offensive.
