In Summer Knight, Harry uses Toot and a horde of pixies to kill the Summer Lady. I got to thinking, how would one accomplish this in the RPG?
I'd model this as:
- Harry invokes an Aspect (his High Concept, if there isn't a more appropriate one here) for effect to call in Toot and The Gang and creates the aspect [Valise Full of Pixies].
- Billy goes to Wal-Mart and uses Resources to maneuver [Armed with Box Knives] on the pixies.
- ...in-between stuff happens, then Harry reaches Aurora at the Stone Table.
- Harry maneuvers with Rapport or Intimidation to place [Distracted with Monologuing] onto Aurora
- Harry releases the pixies to attack Aurora, using Contacts as an Attack, tagging [Distracted with Monologuing], [Valise Full of Pixies], and [Armed With Box Knives] for a +6 on it (alternatively, Distracted might be tagged for effect for Aurora to defend at Mediocre). The Box Knives count as Weapon: 1 and automatically act as a Catch vs Aurora's Toughness/Recovery powers, and Harry maybe invokes a few more aspects
- Presumably, Aurora has already taken some Mental and/or Social consequences in the lead-up to this fight, between arranging her plan properly and being driven insane via Nemesis, and therefore the attack is enough to take her out.
How would you model this instead, if you disagree with the above?
Secondly, if you were playing Billy-the-Werewolf or Elaine-the-Traitor, how would you feel about watching the Scenario end this way?
