The Truename quest is supposed to equal Essence, which in this case is 12.
Which means a _horrendous_ Quest, to be sure. Meaning expenditure of Good
Karma: lots of this. Also, I'm not sure how you guys play things, but we have
a house rule that allows magicians to burn Magic Rating (under the adequate
role-playing conditions) to assist in magical stuff if they run out of
Karma: I'm expecting to do this too.

I'd rather not let the cat out of the bag as to exactly what I've got planned
just yet (I'm in contact with some people by email), but I have agreement
from Shade that I'll undertake the Quest for the name alone, which will work
but leave Thel in need of some recuperation, at least in the short term.
Then, with the name, people can work on making the ritual stuff to prepare to
confront it. The full effects of what happened on the Quest will become
more evident later. =)

One thing I think we'll need for the confrontation is firepower, both magical
and mundane. Which means if any of y'all want to give their riggers a chance
for target practice, the chance will come.
