I'm not sure there's enough time before the BAT for them to organize enough. Harry can't lead them because of his conflicted interests. Murphy had the free time but she ded. Molly's got a job, Butters has a job. The Alphas are Wardens-types, not Senior Council-types.

And I don't trust Kumori Elaine far enough to her, so...

RIP magic users if both the White Council and Paranet are utterly subverted.

I agree, and I am looking forward to it. A Langtry versus McCoy showdown would be epic. Although, I think Jim's style would be more in the fashion of a divide and conquer scenario by the Black Council.

I mean, strongest spear vs strongest shield is a classic for a reason, it'd be fun to see, it's a shame that Harry would have to be cuffed to a wall or something to actually spectate it properly.

At the rate things are going, I'm guessing that society might collapse entirely. If anything, she'll be asked by the surviving leaders to help recover what was lost, and she'll churn things out. But she'll probably be locked away, and nobody is going to have access to her.

I expect the ending will be a bit more optimistic than that.

Isn't Ivy the head of the Librarians? 

She runs the Venatori/the Oblivion War, not the Librarians.

A funny thought just occurred to me, the Archive has a day to day job outside of just being a neutral mediator, that job is basically sharing knowledge if she can (the premise of the Accelerated RPG being that Marcone commissioned her to write something up) so she can part with knowledge just fine if it doesn't clash with her neutrality agreement.

With the masquerade on track to collapse she's going to be known by more than just the supernatural side of things. Once this happens absolutely every culture that's ever lost stuff to attempted erasure and every historian in general are going to be knocking at her door demanding hundreds or thousands of books of content each.

She'd better have a spell for just pumping info straight into word documents because otherwise she's booked for the next 800 years minimum.

I don't think anyone was pulling punches. The Eye was a threat to the laws of reality itself. Newtonian chaos was about to break out on Earth. There was no do-over for this. There was no going back to the benches to figure out what to do next.

I don't see the big guns playing five-rounded Russian roulette with reality so Harry could have a big moment.

On that note I do wonder what the long term effects of that are going to be. Are they going to find out that you can't rebuild skyscrapers toppled by the eye because reality is just broken there? Is Chicago just going to have to deal with super-ghosts and easy access by everything else from now on?

I figure that if Michael didn't take him out the White Council definitely did when they heard that a Dragon got ganked and went to investigate everything related.

Yuillegan - I was not saying Rashid could not kill Harry - I was saying he could not kill Harry without a weapon that is not shown, or using magic against the Rules - which is what I referred to when I said he (Rashid) walks his own path - beyond the rules. I'm not sure even Eb or Langtry could stand against Rashid.

And I wasn't saying he would kick him out for being linked to the WCV as a BAD thing, but cutting him loose he may have to get allies like the WCV and being Winter Knight he brings the WCV closer to Winter. Not driving him away because you are against him - but putting him in the position where he becomes a liaison between the other two signatories. A job he likely does not take if he is still Council, and a regional commander of the Wardens. He has bigger jobs to do.

I mean if it comes time to kill somebody, he walks around with a great big stick and is quite good at knocking people out with sleep spells.

Doubtful. Nobody but Harry knows Elaine is anything more then a minor practitioner, and even if they did, Elaine is the Anti-Harry- she's very busy keeping her head down and her nose clean and looking out for number one.

I can't see her joining a group like the Grey Council.

She's pretending to be a minor practitioner but she's still taken a fairly prominent role as head of the Paranet.
