Doppleganger Damacy - Exalted

[Jokarun]

I'd take melee 5 with the +2 sword and the distracting breeze charm, its in our best interest to be able to distract people so we can strike with our fangs...

[STARSTRUCK]

I say we take Ox-Body Technique x2 and Melée 5. Our Dodge is decent enough for now IMO. We need to be able to take somebody tough down should the need arise.

EDIT: Nnnnnngh it requires Resistance 2. I switch my vote to Melée 5 and First Melée Excellency.

For the record, some Charms have pre-requisites. Ox-Body does. Ox-Body x2 would require Resistance 2 or more, which the Doppleganger doesn't have, so if you vote for Ox-Body, you have to take Resistance as well.

Melee 5 and Elemental Aspect : Fire

Might as well try to find a charm to light our Daiklave on fire before we smack people with it.

[Verminator]

Melee 5 is a no-brainer.

As cool as hurling fireballs would be, I think it's not in our best interests right now.

Lore 3 ought to reveal a ton of useful knowledge to us about the local area, what's going on, Alvier, the monks and more besides. So I agree with Siber and say we should take that. It might facilitate some nice murders later on.

[Hades]

Agreed with Verminator, we should take Lore 3 and Melee 5.

[Chiiro]

Lore 3 and First Stealth Excellency.
Unexpected attacks > higher melee dicepool.

Melee 5 (+2 Sword Specialty) and Lore 3 acquired!

You lie on the bed and sigh contently, closing your eyes. After that meal, for some reason you feel very sleepy. You manage to resist the urge to drift off to sleep and sit up, doing your best to clean away the evidence of your crime. You find a few trinkets and coins, as well as a pair of Red Jade Short Daiklaves, magical blades roughly 3 feet long. You don't really have the motes to spare to attune to them, but fortunately they're rather light, so it's a simple matter to pack them away.

Afterwards, you sit on the bed, looking in the mirror. After eating the last few people, your appearance has altered enough that you no longer look like "Morriah". You might be mistaken for her at first glance, still, but there are enough subtle changes that no one who knows her will think you are her. This will probably work in your favor. Having people mistake you for someone else can cause trouble.

Your mind has filled with the knowledge of the Dragon-Blooded you just ate. His name was Cathak Joren. He was an assassin working for the Immaculate Order, and his orders were to find and kill Alvier. He had been in his mid-twenties, and had been having an affair the Councillor's "Advisor". Well, you think to yourself with a smile, now they've been reunited. In your stomach.

What you do now is up to you. It's still a few hours before noon. If you have a question that you want to check Joren's memories for, just post it in the thread and I'll try my best to answer everyone.

[Verminator]

Why does the order want to kill Alvier, y'know, beyond the obvious reasons? Has he done anything to offend the order beyond just being a solar? Why does the order feel the need to send an assassin to kill him when they could just hunt him in the open? How many bubbles are there in a bar of soap? What are this weekend's lottery numbers going to be?

[Chiiro]

I think it's time we find our good friend Alvier and demand that he tell us exactly why we're doing things for him and what his problem with the order is. We're already gotten ourselves involved to the point where it just can't hurt more to know than to not know. Also, we need a news update on mysterious disappearances around town.

[Cynsye]

Why are they sending an assassin rather than a Wyld hunt. Also any information about the local order. Go and have a chat with Alvier about what you have found out. Also.. drop off that daiklaive somewhere you can get your hands on it easily.. it is monumentally unsubtle for general wandering around.

According to Joren's memories, Alvier himself is an assassin, and has been causing a great deal of problems for the Immaculate Order. They haven't had any luck hunting him down, so they called in an assassin to do the trick. Fortunately, you killed Joren just in time. He planned to attack Alvier tonight.

How many bubbles are there in a bar of soap? What are this weekend's lottery numbers going to be?

Har har.

You have no idea where to find Alvier, or even what he's doing today.

Also, we need a news update on mysterious disappearances around town.

According to Joren's memories, there have been no more bloodied crime scenes found, but several people have gone mysteriously missing over the last few days. The Wyld Hunt has been sent out to search for Fair Folk, who are currently believed to be responsible.

Also.. drop off that daiklaive somewhere you can get your hands on it easily.. it is monumentally unsubtle for general wandering around.

Wait... you want to hide away your best and most powerful weapon right after you went to so much trouble to retrieve it?

[Cynsye]

*Shrug* It will probably draw attention.

Well, we can go back to his house at some point and wait for him.. what to do in the meantime though is beyond me XD.

[Lizzie]

Head back to Alvier's house and wait for him, bring back all the daiklaves you've collected as well. I'm actually far, far more interested in those short daiklaves then the grand daiklave now but might as well bring the big one too. When you get back wait for him to come home, then inform him of your latest kill.

[Anna]

Well then, on that note, people might as well vote on which weapon they want to keep handy:
The Grand Daiklave is more powerful, but it's a huge fucking buster sword. Carrying it will draw attention, but it's not too hard to explain away.

The pair of Short Daiklaves aren't as powerful, but they're fast, swift, accurate weapons, and considering they're only three feet long, they're relatively easy to keep hidden and unlikely to draw much attention.
