HELL PLOTTING

PLOTTING IN HELL↴ This is a plotting post for everyone who is going to be participating in RESCUE MISSION: HELL! Below I'm going to make top levels for every section, so that people can announce that they plan on tagging into certain threads and to do other planning. HAVE FUN!

This also doesn't really fit in all the above b/c it can deal with all sorts of people stuck in hell, but Strange can do scrying magic and will happily be offering to creep on any supervisor/captive/what have you.

This is creepy spying, not any sort of tracking magic. Basin gets filled up with water, spell gets cast, reflection of the person and what they're currently doing appears in the basin. It's not good for things like finding people, but it is good for things like checking on what conditions some of the supervisors/babyvamps are in before everybody goes charging in all Leeroy Jenkins. Scrying magic can be pretty imprecise so it can work or not work as needed. I'm 100% up for either handwaving or threading out 'and then Strange used magic to creep on a supervisor to see what they were like before the party got split' or 'well Character X knows that Character Y's a beat up vampire in the vampire playpen because creepy magic' as needed. As a note, he'll only be able to use the magic to see the people in hell while they're in hell: you can't check back on so and so at the carnival.

This also means that he'll be lugging around a footish width basin and probably has to make a tiny rainstorm every now and then to actually fill up the basin when he inevitably runs out of the water he'll bring along, look, english magic is respectable, not convenient.

Why does English magic have to be so impractical FFS.

Anyway, Lambert already knows Strange is a squishy-ass wizard, so for the record if there was any discussion of roles he'd be like 'stay at the entrance you idiot' with no real belief he'll listen. He'll certainly avail himself of that scrying shit tho, if only because the sooner they find people the sooner they can clear out.

I'm glad to see they already know each other so well because hahaha he's not gonna listen to that stay behind part. c:

[atouts]

i have no idea what terms they are on at this point since /waves at other thread

BUT I am checking to see if he'd scry up where Joker is for him, like, before he makes the poor life choice of disappearing into the depths of literal Hell to find him or if he would tell him to get bent for being the huge jerk that he is instead.

p.s. pls try not to die, Strange......

[kingsroads]

Thankfully, saving people will take priority over the fact that Childermass is a HUGE BUTTHEAD. so yeah, he would straight up scry up where Joker is & what his condition is, sulking will happen later at the carnival

p.s. we're working on that not dying thing, buddy.
