Essence bite lookalikes are fairly easy to pull off.
- Knife Hand Dream (and Essence 3) lets you add 5 to your unarmed damage - for 1 gossamer if you're using the Charm yourself, or free if it's a behemoth employing it or you take it as an Adjuration. Armament of Flesh can stack with this, or (taken as a charm) give you always on benefits.
- Endless Yawning Void creates an aura of environmental damage with your flavor of choice. It can be put into an Inward Facing Oneiromancy to combine with more powers, granted to a behemoth, or taken as an Adjuration. As it's a Ring charm (and not easy to get), those are the easiest options.
- Teeth of the World and so forth give you attacks that manifest as blasts of elemental energy / attack by random animals. Must be taken as a Charm, though.
- An Outward Facing Oneiromancy with the old standards of people tampering can probably help too. Emotion Weaving Style to reshape the Motivation of those you hit, Behemoth Forging Meditation to grant them new forms, Heart Stealing Kiss to steal a few virtues and motes...
I'll wait a bit for more reactions to the bandits before posting in the IC.

When the Fair Folk are angered, Creation itself shakes. At least, it should. Those who swear to follow the temper of the legendary pixies find that they can make the Creation-born tremble somewhat, at least. Once mortals nearby have been warned three times that the Raksha is going to lose its temper, hundreds of tiny flying humanoids appear, armed with sharp and painful spears, and apply them to anyone who dares remain close to the angry fey. Only when said wrath has been properly assuaged, or tempered with offerings of oats and honey cakes, will the creatures dissipate.
1-dot Adjuration
Endless Yawning Void - in an area (Ring) yards around those sworn to the Adjuration, creates environmental damage from furious pixie stick attacks. Damage is 2B/action, Trauma is (Ring).
Is the less than serious route, only costing 1 committed mote. If taken as part of an inward facing Oneiromancy, you need gossamer to power it but get a lot more options. Such as...
The Mantle of Flame
The Raksha have heard of some barely significant Exalt named Brigit, famed for her dress sense above all. After all, what else is a mantle good for? In order to prove their narrative superiority, a group of southern Fair Folk created the Mantle - and were quite angered when they found out that Brigit was not, in fact, possessed of any taste in clothing. Warping the enchantment bond in their Mantle, they granted it the power to overcome the flaws of Brigit's lesser creation - while still looking really hot.
1-dot Oneiromancy
Assumption of Fire Form - a hooded cloak wreathed in ever shifting flames, it still somehow manages not to burn its owner.
Endless Yawning Void - when the Mantle's power is invoked and the hood is cast back, flames erupt around its bearer and threaten to consume anything that draws too close. Yet these fires are magical and burn slowly, that one may admire the Mantle longer before being devoured by the flames.
Imposition of Law - the owner of the Mantle cannot fail a concentration roll when casting Sorcery, becoming capable of completing spells so long as she lives.
Fire Transformation - if the Mantle's wearer inverts it, turning the fiery side inwards, she is transformed into a being of elemental flame, gaining great powers thereby.
Rarefied Air of Inevitable Victory - the sheer pulsing heat that radiates from the Mantle will deflect incoming blows.
- EDIT: Vote! What gender is the Monarch? First to get three votes with no replies within 24 hours wins! In case of quick replies, I'll have to count, I suppose.
Welcome again!
For my vote?
Lady, because the "weak king, strong queen" is a very well-tread path in Exalted, and I like to mix it up a little.
Oh, and my sheet's done...but I need meschlum's email, since the forum's email application doesn't allow attachments, far as I can see.

I had to count, but we now have Niamh, queen-to-be of Drayne among the overall NPC cast!
And why is no one posting IC? Give it another ~2 hours, and then the bandits will respond to the one person to address them, and the others trying to lure them in.
As the matter may be slowing things down, I have created a hotmail account, with my username here as the name there. Hopefully, spam will not follow this indirect statement, and character sheets will.
I've had a rather busy day and now too tire to post. Though I may try. I'm a little shocked that we've not posted much. But its been a bothering busy weekend.
Yes, the bandits will respond to your threats, offers, and blandishments. I just wanted to establish the beginning of conversation and lets others step in.
Next post will have them discussing the varied offers (or running in terror, or... depending on what you do).
I know one from a ass-kicking work of Simon Bisley.
Hehehe, we might need to make for the Queen a 'klave that doesn't cut, but stuff parts before it.
Myllina, I tried to threaten the bandits with You lot. I need something off of them. A dream-time and 5 gossamer would be ideal, but anything I can swindle them off is game.
Now, the Fox will make an offer ... shall I do some rolls here ? Or first write down the "offer" for the bandits ? Anyhow, I'll reply IC and You decide what to do with ze rolls, if any, ST.
EDIT: And Meschlum, Fox don't have elfin pointy ears ! He have Foxy ears.

- Which Abilities are Caste / Favored? You are under no obligation to put a dot into all of your Caste Abilities, though it's an interesting approach.
- What are your three free specialties?
- You seem to have used the pre-errata character creation rules. Willpower and Virtues are no longer linked (and cost less). You start with more bonus points (18 instead of 15). You start with 10 Charms rather than 8.
- Is your Assumption permanent? If not, you'll need gossamer to activate it, or an Adjuration.
- Regeneration is an Abomination, and therefore costs 6 mutation points, which is more than a 3-dot Adjuration will grant.
Before I make an IC post, I'll roll Intelligence+Medicine (so just Intelligence) to see if Rulenizo knows what a spleen is and, more importantly, what it does.
Intelligence - (7d10)[6][9][3][7][9][5][3](42)

The spleen is an internal organ, fairly hard to locate and of debatable use. What's certain is that Creation-born without them tend not to live too long, but that may be linked to the rigors of removing it. Incidentally, it is a great favorite among quacks and charlatans, since it is just obscure enough to sound familiar without risking any customers worrying about it before it's snake-oil time.
Or wikipedia. (i.e. success! Though a Fair Folk slant for interpretation would be appreciated)
The False Crone is always open to having more useful things. It's just a matter of why such a creature would be useful to her. As for rolling, just put the rollv tags around the number of dice, the letter d, and the sides on the dice. So, seven ten-sided dice would be 7d10 inside the rollv tags.
Demo - (7d10)[2][6][5][8][4][5][6](36)

Valor roll for the bandits, following the sudden appearance of hungry looking demonic beings all around them.
(2d10)[4][6](10)
Edit: Terror it is, then.
Incidentally, I think I'll count evoking things as a diceless action (speed 3) limited to one use per 'flurry', which can be used reflexively, just to have some numbers - and avoid summoning infinite amounts of objects at the same time.
Mobility has its advantages, but not if the door is too high for potential customers to reach.
You can get bureau in the city, right ? Trustworthy customers would be led to Crone by some expendable minion. Saying so, as my little Fox is more cunning than I am ... would Crone be upset upon being called "Madam" ? Or if Fox would try to recruit her into Fox Clan ?
I plan on using the Mites to scout The Wood inmediately after talking with bandits, regardless of results. Must start my demenesne building early, You know. Skilled cooperators would be worth their gossamer in we ... I mean height of wisdom !
Meschlum, can I use Mites to scout the Wood for my research necessary to start working on demenesne-crafting ? Wood aspected or, if I could shape beliefs of local population enough to give it spiritual significance (staring meaningfully at our local Telechaosist Leliel) to Spirit Fox.
How do I imagine this ?
Imbuing the place with lots and lots of Foxy essence ... I can make apporiate sacrifices (of other people). Snacks of Banditia Vulgaris seem to run around constantly. I'll think of some apporiate ritual, too.
Making surroundings a perfect nest for Fox infestation. Mites could build lairs and several villages wich will concentrate on chicken farming.
Making foxes a part of local spiritual folklore, will be easy with establishement of a Religion where "Guardian Spirits" actually work their end of the bargain, unlike Creation's Gods. Will have notice that virginal sacrifices for my Fox should be delivered unharmed to his house, too. No need for some grisly internal organs, yuck.

- Which Abilities are Caste / Favored? You are under no obligation to put a dot into all of your Caste Abilities, though it's an interesting approach.
Really? I thought you got one free dot per Caste ability.
- What are your three free specialties?
D'oh.
- You seem to have used the pre-errata character creation rules. Willpower and Virtues are no longer linked (and cost less). You start with more bonus points (18 instead of 15). You start with 10 Charms rather than 8.
Sorry, I couldn't find the rules for Fair Folk errata, or assumed they applied to Exalts only. Going back to it.
- Is your Assumption permanent? If not, you'll need gossamer to activate it, or an Adjuration.
No, it isn't. Assume the Oath of Shifting Beauty does that.
- Regeneration is an Abomination, and therefore costs 6 mutation points, which is more than a 3-dot Adjuration will grant.
Ohhh. My apology, I didn't want to risk loading Splinters of the Wyld on this thing as well.
Sorry, this is the first Fair Folk I've ever done.
I'll rework the sheet.
And for the social attack: Would that be Charisma + Presence, I think?

- You pick five Caste abilities among the ten possible ones (5 from each of your Castes) - each of these five gets 1 bonus dot, and can go up to 6 dice. The other five abilities do not get bonus dots, and are not Caste abilities.
- You then get 3 Favored abilities (these do not stack - though you can select them from the five 'left over' abilities). These get 2 bonus dots, and can go up to 7 dice.
- Willpower starts at 5, and is increased at a rate of 1 bp per dot. Virtues also cost 1 bp per dot to raise.
- Charisma + Presence if you're trying to affect one person, Perform is feasible if you want to target them all. Your pick: the bandits are Extras, so they're not liable to resist very well without a mob backing them (and they don't have a mob).
