Who let the frogs out? (OOC)

Max is at the same place Persephone left her, waiting for her clothes, phone, and weapons. She doesn't really want to find Nefydd until she has those.

@vagueGM So Max wants to follow Nefydd to Chaudry (or at least the location that Nefydd goes to, where she assumes Chaudry will be), and then attack him with lethal intent so he can't spill the beans. You mentioned Nefydd would probably seek medical attention first, once Max tracks him there she'll probably no longer be hunting him and instead be shadowing him. The window between realizing where Nefydd is headed and being able to intercept him before he gets there is probably pretty narrow, do you think Keep Your Cool is appropriate, given that I didn't get a 10 on Bloodhound to make him alone/vulnerable? Or do you want to make this a gimme?

Just making sure that OOC you realise that Benji just saved Max. If he hadn't distracted the police you would have had to deal with them before you could do anything else.

I get that Max is 'aggressive' (Demeanor), and thinks she is the be-all-and-end-all, but I do worry that people may stop working with her if she continues to be such a ... shall we, euphemistically, say: 'female dog'?

Might do. OOC this was mainly to buy time for Persephone to get her Job done. If it suits the story we can have that happen, or skip it if that works better.
Morphling says:

Up to you all. Both in terms is whether he finds a street-doc or not, and if that changes your approach.
Morphling says:

Yeah, probably. And I assume we don't want to risk finding Chaudry, so I am loath to have a roll decide that part (unless we all choose that option).
Morphling says:
... do you think Keep Your Cool is appropriate ...
That would probably be the Move, if we roll one. It would be Keep Your Cool to avoid having Nefydd 'get inside', or something like that. Maybe we wait and see what the fiction brings, who all is there, and if you have a clear upper-hand, and if it is worth it.

You are all still at the park, but I will foreshadow (with a big, clear shadow:) that I will ask you what you face at Chaudry's:

• Is he, maybe, alone, hiding in a hovel (apparently easy prey)?
• Is he, maybe, with the Ivy Club, making a (slightly) harder target, but giving you access to the whole bang-shoot?
• Something else completely?

(Also, where they are in the city, and what they are doing, is up to you all.)

For the record I would enjoy turning the tables on Chaudry, especially if I could somehow feed him to the Hellhound or something. But I have no feelings about the dumb kid street magician.
Nov 10, 2025 4:46 am
I, too, don't have any feelings about keeping Nefydd alive or preemptively taking them out, that is completely up to characters.
Nov 10, 2025 4:55 am
Yes, to be clear, I don’t have any OOC objection to killing Nefydd. I just think Benji would have reservations. He’s not firmly opposed either — he’s just questioning if it’s actually necessary or if there might be another option.

OOC I am aware. IC, Max is certain that if Benji had just ran to them with a warning, they could have all fled the scene before the cops arrived. However, I have come to realize that Max might have been using Benji as a punching bag a little too enthusiastically this morning, and I think I'll reign it in from now on.

Can I Lend a Hand to Max’s earlier bloodhound roll or is it too late for that?

Hahaha it’s alright! He’s a bit of a doormat :P

@vagueGM Since Max has the supported blessing in her territory, could we say that she knows of a criminal safehouse that we could take a living Nefydd to hold captive for a while?

Go for it. Since the hunt is still barely started —you are still basically in the park— that seems quite reasonable.

Sure. That would probably be a Hit the Streets [ref] once you get to them to see if they can help you.

You can tell us who they are.

If Nefydd joins up with Chaudry and whomsoever is with him, then he, obviously, becomes entangled in the revenge plot anyway. So this is mainly about if we take him out first, so they are not warned. If Benji can get your Bloodhound over the 10+ level then Nefydd is vulnerable and you can use that opportunity to try capture them, we can see what the fiction brings and if any rolls are needed when the time comes.

@Morphling: When did Max mark Wild for the second time? I thought she only had Power marked right now?
Nov 11, 2025 4:51 pm
Wild when she lent a hand to Persephone to beat up Nefydd.

I thought that might have been where the confusion happened. See the Advancement [ref] note for when you mark Circles. Only the Moves that are listed there or that explicitly say you mark the Circle count. These rules are kinda convoluted. :)
Nov 11, 2025 4:55 pm
Ah, I see. My n00bness is showing. Will uncheck Wild.

Another 6! :/

(in RP) The mouth-watering smells of fresh blood and fear linger in the air.
oopsylon says:

Any thoughts as to why?

Is Benji too distracted by that smell?

Or does the smell of the Wolf overpower everything else? @Morphling: Maybe the Wolf smell was not there before, but after changing it lingers (till you wash it off? (I mean, we know it draws the attention of supernatural creatures))? (Might be useful to draw people away so others can act? (potential Opportunity with a Cost?))
