Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Strider_Koln]

A toothy grin escapes from Ruby's lips as the shuttle comes to a halt. "I will certainly do my best Koln." They both stepped off and began navigating the streets once again.
She pauses in the middle of their quiet walk and thinks aloud. "Say, are there any other club around this place, maybe other people know about Edward, possibly rival sanctuaries in the city?" She clutched her chin in deep thought of this. "Just a suggestion at least, but we can always check the diocese along the way as well."

Upon exiting the shuttle, Koln's heightened senses trigger, hoping to alert him to any possible spies or attackers in this unfamiliar part of Denver.
Koln thinks hard... there was another club, but what was it called? "Ruby, it would be best if we kept a low profile for now, and just keep our senses open, hopefully we can eavesdrop on conversations and get intel that way, instead of directly asking for information and making ourselves noticed. Now first, like you said, we need to find a likely place for vampire rumors..." Koln looks around, searching his surroundings for their next destination.

Help! Where do we go DM? 24th Diocese again?? Straight to Edward? The mall to burn down hottopic?

Rob uncontrollably wraps his arms around Clover. "I suddenly find myself wanting to hug you" he says. He looks into her eyes, "How beautiful"

'It's not fair...'
Clover allowed herself to grasp back at Rob, almost desperately. A war had erupted in her mind. Rob's scent was so perfect. She could smell his blood: a fine wine, succulent and aromatic amongst the foul smell of beer-flavored life forms around them.
But she didn't want to destroy him.
If she could cry, she felt like her eyes would have begun to tear. Her mind--her humanity--fought her the entire way as her body moved on its own.
She stood on her tip toes to reach Rob's face, placing a tender kiss on his cheek and trailing her lips lovingly across his jaw and to his ear. Clover could hear every beat of his heart, and she felt the blood course hot through his veins as she grasped firmly into his well-muscled back.
'I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.'
She lay a single kiss on his ear and heard a choking sound rise from her throat. Her inhuman attempt at conveying tears.
Then, she grasped him closer and suddenly found her fangs sinking into his neck.
'I'm so sorry! Please don't suffer any more than I already am. This isn't fair.'
'He tastes so good...'

Help! Where do we go DM? 24th Diocese again?? Straight to Edward? The mall to burn down hottopic?

Here is the map again so you can get an idea of where you are. The Downtown area is near the mall.

Ruby and Koln walk up and down the street looking for anyone who might give them a clue as to what exactly is going on. There are large groups of people at both the mall and at the 24th Diocese. The walk takes about an hour to go between the two locations.

You can sense possible vampire presence at the 24th Diocese but it is hard to be sure as there is a large volume of people inside.

Clover sucks vigorously on Rob's neck taking in all the delicious blood she can. She can see the boy's face start to pale as she drains him and manages to pull herself away in time to keep him alive. He faints in Clover's arms and she is left holding him up with her new found strength.

Clover gains 5 blood points bringing her to 10.

'He's ok.'
Clover slowly lowered Rob to the floor, supporting his head until she heard it hit the carpet with a dull thud.
She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and her eyes shut for a moment as she felt full and whole for the first time in a few days.
'I need to go. I can't stay here.'
She suddenly wanted to be by her friends. Koln and Ruby had headed into the city, didn't they? She should go and be with them. She was sure she could find them. Right?
Clover whipped out her cell phone, eyeing Rob carefully as she texted Mindy.
<Spending the night. Don't wait up >
Then, with one more look at the boy on the floor, 'Delicious blood! Perhaps I'll pay him another visit soon?' she opened the window.
'Second floor. I can do this.'
She jumped.

Clover lands rather clumsily on her butt after jumping out the window and tumbles down the small hill outside landing in a bush. Embarrassing but she remained unharmed.

In the future just use tumble checks if you have any skill in that. Clover can easily catch up to Koln and Ruby if she can find out where they went as it took them awhile to scope out the scene.

"I think I sense... yes, evil..." Koln quickly turns in the direction of the 24th Diocese. "Perhaps Tony has returend... Good, I have plenty of questions for our old chum, let's hurry." Koln briskly walks in the direction of the club with Ruby at his side. "You know, even though we might both die tonight, I'm having a good time ^^"

[sblock=The Long Version]Clover jumped to her feet, quickly dusting herself off and looking around to see if anyone was watching.
'Um... totally meant to do that. Yup!'
When she was satisfied that no one had witnessed the clumsy moment of quite possibly the worst vampire in existence, she began to run.
'Like hell I'm ever leaving this campus without a weapon ever again!'
She stopped by her room and grabbed her whip that Koln had given her. She hadn't gotten a chance to try it yet, but hey, how hard could it be?
Then, tying around her waist and concealing it under her shirt, she ran once more: this time to the shuttle.
She wondered where Koln and Ruby had gone in the city? No doubt they were doing something productive... she hoped. Maybe finding out some information about this Edward guy? Looking into the whereabouts of Tony? Going about locating Lacey? Not burning down any more buildings? She hoped...?
The shuttle stopped downtown and she departed. She felt very lonely, all by herself in the middle of the sidewalk. Partygoers passed her in droves, and she suddenly felt very scared and confused. She had never liked crowds.
Clover found herself backing against a brick wall as a protective measure. What was she thinking? She didn't even know where to start looking! Should she just walk up to a group of people and ask, "Hey, I was wondering if you've seen any vampires around here? One of them looks like a priest who confusedly thinks that he is some sort of goth rendition of Tuxedo Mask, and the other one looks like she just stepped off the set of Little House on the Prairie."
She snickered. But this was no longer funny.
If anything, she might as well make herself comfortable. The 24th Diocese was becoming like something of a second home to them all and, if nothing else, Bill the bartender might be able to point her in the right direction. [/sblock]

[sblock=The Short Version] Clover falls-down-go-boom, decides not to be an idiot and graps whip from room, goes into town, and decides to go to 24th Diocese. Tada... [/sblock]
