Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

'Oh!'
"Thank you for grabbing the gun away Clover, I don't know when I would have snapped out of..." Clover held up a finger to silence Ruby. The group stopped.
'Oops, almost forgot.'
Clover jogged over to the nearest payphone, inserting a couple of quarters.
Ring Ring
"911, what is your emergency?"
Clover took a deep, simpering breath, then spoke hysterically, sobbing, "I-I..."
"Calm down, ma'am. What is your emergency?"
"F-Father Koln! I-I'm sorry I didn't call sooner. The shock! I-I..."
"All right, I'm going to need you to calm down. Now, what happened?"
"Downtown! There was a building on fire. And my priest, Father Koln... he ran inside!"
"I'm sorry, you said he went inside of the building?"
"Yes! I-I think he heard a kid inside. A little voice. And he ran inside to save her! Oh my god. Oh my god...."
"Ma'am, calm down."
"Oh my... I-I'm sorry. But, he hasn't come out yet! I think he's still in there!"
"All right, ma'am. Stay on the line with me. I'm going to need your name and telephone..."
"Please! The fire is getting bigger! He... *dramatic shrieking* An explosion! Oh my god. Oh my god!"
"Ma'am. Can you give me a cross street?"
"Help him! The building's collapsing!"
"I'm going to need you to calm down. Now, where are...?"
"The building's collapsing! Help him! Help Father Koln!"

Clover composed herself then slowly turned to her friends, sheepish, "Heh... there ya go, Koln. You're dead now." ^.^*

PS- Why are there still 6 bullets in a 6 magazine gun that has already been shot?

6 in the revolver and 1 in the chamber? Anyway, the police would already know that there is a fire going on but ok now they know that there was someone in there.

You all head back to the dorm and breath a sigh of relief (especially Koln) that you made it back alive.

 

[Strider_Koln]

Koln slowly opens the fridge. ((How much blood is stocked in there?))

"By the way Clover, you really need to learn how to punch, you're going to hurt your wrists swinging like that. When you jab, fire from your shoulder, and if you throw a strong right, put your hips into it, and in your stance you should have most of your weight on your back foot, I'll show you what I mean some other time... I'm sorry if I worried you two earlier..for a moment I did consider erasing my utter joke of an existence. Sometimes you just wonder, I think everyone does at some point, wouldn't it be great today if I was nothing?"

Clover turned her eyes slowly to Ruby, waiting for the water-works to start.
What a damned egotistical comment to make! But who would she be to call Koln selfish? Just a week ago, she had thought exactly the same.
Who knows.
Maybe she still did.
She was just a pathetic vampire. She couldn't fight. She couldn't do anything without leaning on Koln and Ruby as a crutch.
Totally useless.
Koln offering to teach her how to punch was a blessing. But that didn't change the fact that he had stupidly thrown out such an off-handed comment.
'Whatever, how much could it possibly hurt him?'
In anger (to punish him for selfishness, to test her patheticness, just for fun) she drew back her hand and punched out hard at Koln, aiming for his gut.

1d20+1 → [14,1] = (15)
Punchy punch! ^.^

btw- there are two blood packs in the fridge

Well, if we use Koln's flat-footed defense (which would be the case as he is not in a fighting stance) the punch would hit.

Clover Damage
1d3+1 → [3,1] = (4)

Koln takes 4 (non-lethal) damage.

The blow lands a solid hit but doesn't knock the wind out of Koln, not that it would anyway as he no longer breathes. It looks like Clover can land a punch after all!

 

[Strider_Koln]

Koln sighs, closing it. Only two left, better leave it for them just in case.
He then turns to Clover, helps her make a strong square stance.
"Go ahead, I want you to hit me as hard as you can."

Overconfident, Koln leans into the punch, so she will make contact with his face and.. WHAM "Ah! You hit me in the ear! No, it's ok, that was perfect!"

"Er actually, that was pretty ok.. but don't draw your arm back like that, it tells your opponent what you're going to do and gives them time to react, plus an opening to intercept your technique, again, fire from the shoulder if you're punching with your lead hand, and put your hips and fire straight out if you're using your right, that is if you're right handed. If you're left handed then it's the opposite of course since you'll be standing differently." Koln demonstrates for Clover what he means. "Or you can do what Ruby does, I'm not sure where she learned to fight, but seems to be quite the natural, very strong, fortunately I'm no longer in the business of hunting vampires in general, she would be an incredibly tough target."

"Keep your hands up too of course, by the way that reminds me..." Koln takes off his whip and hands it to her. He places it in her hand and guides her arm slowly. "This is how you use it, the whip will always follow in the motion of your arm, you see that? It's much easier to use that one would think, but effective. Back at the Vatican another hunter, don't remember his name, Morris I think, anyway, he used a special whip to dispose of 'unwanted' with great results."

Ruby starts grumbling aloud to herself upon hearing that Koln actually did contemplate burning in that building. She pokes at the gaping hole in her grey dress and frowns. Good thing she brought along her handy dandy sewing kit in her knit bag. She slumps down near the bed and starts threading her needle, still growling perturbed. "You assured us you wouldn't do that Koln.." She muffled through her growls.
She eyes Clover's training and shot a smirk "looking good there, try some uppercuts.."
Ruby wondered why all her combat knowledge was so wide. It seemed like everytme they encountered a battle, her observing others fighting soaked in like a sponge.

 

[Strider_Koln]

"You assured us you wouldn't do that Koln.." She muffled.

That hurt Koln much more than Clover's strike. He turns and sits down next to Ruby with his head in his hands. "I know I did... I'm sorry Ruby, at the time I wasn't entirely certain what I was going to do. But for some reason, the appeal of nothingness, I don't think you understand, I pray you don't... but please try to forgive me, I will never leave you again, I promise."

 

[izillama]

Hya! Hya! Hey, this was easy! Right punch! Left punch! Uppercut! Clover took what Koln had said and started trying to figure it out. She wanted to learn how to fight! She wanted to get better and not be so pathetic. But Koln and Ruby were talking.

That hurt Koln much more than Clover's strike. He turns and sits down next to Ruby with his head in his hands. "I know I did... I'm sorry Ruby, at the time I wasn't entirely certain what I was going to do. But for some reason, the appeal of nothingness, I don't think you understand, I pray you don't... but please try to forgive me, I will never leave you again, I promise."

Clover glanced sidewards at Koln as he said this, and her enthusiastic punches slowed dramatically. There was that look again.
'Sickening.'
'No! It's great. Good for Ruby. Good for Koln!'
'Don't kid yourself. You're drowning in jealousy.'
Clover pressed her lips together and backed away from her friends. She was clearly uncomfortable, but she hoped that they ddn't see it.
'Leave them be.'
Smiling shyly--plastic-like--Clover grabbed a towel and mumbled about going to go take a shower. She turned abruptly and left the room.
The air had been chaged with electricity. Her thoughts had been poisonous.

<insert sexy Clover shower scene>

You take a nice shower in the rather run-down bathroom in the basement of the dorm. When you step out to dry yourself off you swear you see a rat scurry off and round the corner of the stall. When you look to see where it went it is gone and there is no sign of any place that a rat could get in through.
