Tollens frowns. "Well, I'd have to see. What else can you tell me about that deal, and about Pa-El? Could it have been sorcery or perhaps an artifact, or just her power as Exalted? If we can find and destroy your contract, we may be able to free you. Of course, if she has to see and know about...

Aw, cmon man. You know I can wipe his memory later. Also, you could have just decided it was a paper wall or something. On the bright side, I think we have a potential Limit Trigger for Kyros.

"Alright, listen. I'm going to tell you a secret. I'm not really a faerie. I'm human, just like you. My name is Tollens. The sorcerer Kyros sent me to get whatever Pa-El bought because he was pissed Red Wire didn't sell it to him. I only told her I was with the Paper Court because he's looking...

Alcohol and tea seem like good bets to me, they're valuable delicacies that you can't really make just any old where. Jewels and things for crafts too, though you might be able to get those from the Wyld (same to a lesser extent with everything else, but I don't think I'd drink anything a fae...

Man, I don't know whether or not to tell him I'm Anathema, given that a) he'll then think I'm a liar, and b) trading one kind of soul-eating demon in for another isn't the best. Maybe.... I can convince him I'm working for the sorcerer who works for the fae, and that way we won't get directly...

"I only poisoned them a little!" Tollens calls after her. They make a contemptuous tcha as the door slams shut. Tollens gives it a beat, then addresses the sailor. "She just doesn't want to give up the goods. I mean, I've been in her cabin, it's not like she can't afford it. And judging by...

Nobody mumbles expansively through the gag, doing their best to convey general disinterest. Once Pa-El ungags them, they actually talk: "Well, captain, if this is how you treat guests, I think you can be expecting the same hospitality from the Paper Court. But let's not get ahead of yourself...

Do keep in mind that all my limbs are currently broken, but I might be able to social my way out a little. But blood apes won't be terribly detrimental to that plan.

Nobody certainly does stop smiling, though that has five parts to do with their broken bones and three parts to do with the fact that Pa-El now has their blood, indicating two things: one, that she might be a sorcerer who could track them with it, and two, that they'll have to break back in to...

Nobody shrugs but winks salaciously at the sailor who ties them up, tossing Deathprice over their shoulder so it shatters against the wall. With hands tied behind their back, the hilt's reappearance in their furled palm is easy to miss, especially with obsidian shards already littering the room...

Nobody is an accomplished thief. They have broken into fortresses, stolen from palaces, and assassinated kings. But they are also an accomplished spy used to working in life-or-death situations, and they know when to fight another day. The spy throws down their knife so that it shatters on the...

...oh Sol, I've just read the rules for prone and smashing, and I'm at -3 Evasion and -2 Parry. Yeah, I don't think this is gonna work. I'm going to try some mental contingencies instead when she interrogates me. Still might throw the box out the window, though, or at least get Nobody's Friend...

No problem with it. At current I'm envisioning the Flower as the Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean, so my punning clan is to nick Pa-El for some blood, grab the box and jump through the window. We'll see about getting the Initiative for all that, though.

Nobody parries as deftly as they can, but the dagger's blade is simply too small to catch more than half the attacks. As Nobody hears the door slam open, though, they turn and slash at the empty air, the blade deflecting the stream of fire to both sides and narrowly missing the Solar. As the...

I've never played Exalted properly before (usually tabletop sessions with my friends consist mostly of cracking jokes and bullshitting the dice), so forgive me the obvious question, but Excellencying my Parry only helps it against one of the attacks, correct? EDIT: Also, I hope nobody's in the...

Well, I was going to steal Pa-El's memory of the box and jump out the window, but now I have to try and wait her out to sleep, so that's probably out. Let's see.....

What's the difference?

Fair enough, just didn't see an in-universe justification. Might as well make it Ritual, then, if it can't be used in any timeframe of turns.

Woof, sorry about the delay, it's been a heck of the weekend. Now, I have got something approximating a plan, but could you approve/veto this update of Theft of Memory first?

Nobody thinks back on and regrets their whole sequence of mistakes so far as a reflexive action. Nobody sheds a single tear.
