They're basically social/investigator types and have NPCs to do the combat once they find the target. One of the players convinces me he knows about Pentex, has stock and wants to head to a stockholder's meeting in Houston which is pretty much unrealted to the Baali but related to the one characters quest to eliminate such evil from the world (twisted upbringing: he and his childer weren't really vampires but preserved at the instant of death by the power fo God to hunt down evil). They fly down to Houston, catch a cab to the meeting, and the one main character goes inside for a boring meeting while the other two players hang out outside with all the Pentex stockholders chaufers. I decide to throw them a bone and they recognise one of the chaufers as Raven, then infernalist Gangrel that acts as muscle for the Baali. I expect them to lay low, get the licence plate number, pictures of the Baali when he comes out, and other information and follow up on it. Instead they decide to confront him.PC: Are you Raven?Raven: Ya? What of it?PC: Well....we don't like what you're doing and we're going to take you down!Raven: (still leaning against limo and only now looking at PC) So, what? You want to fight?PC: (pause) Ya!. Ya, I'll fight you. (PC grabs dice)Raven: Whoa, whoa! Not here. (Such disputes are unseemly but not uncommon so all the other fomorii and such around them aren't paying much attention) Let's go someplace private.PC: OK.Raven: Where do you want to go?PC: Uh, we don't know the area.Raven: Ok, get in your car and follow me.PC: Uh, we don't have a car.Raven: Ok, I'm not stupid enough to let you drive in the passanger seat behind me and hopefully you're not stupid enough to ride in my trunk, so call a cab.PC: Uh, we don't have a phone.Raven: Would you like for me to call you a cab?PC: Please.Raven reaches into the limo. Calls a cab for them and then they drive out to some fields within sight of the little airport that the PCs flew in to. Once out of the cars, raven tells them to wait till the cab is far enough away to not see them. They wait. Cab turn the corner about a mile down the country road. Raven says "Ok, now!", everybody rolls intintiative and combat begins. He proceded to kill the PC that had talked to him, ignoring the other one whose attacks were inefective. While the first PC was being diablerized, the other ran to the limo and I was kind and said the keys were still in it. As he's driving away, Raven jomps onto the back and smashes out the back window. PC decides to do some evasive manueverings and knock him off. I let him decide the target number they'll both need to roll on and he chooses a 9. It works and he is flung off into a feild. The surviving PC gets to the airport where the other PC is waiting and they climb into the plane and fly away while watching the vampire running towardds them about half a mile away.</blockquote>
