Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

The shotgun is a pump-action Ithaca 37. It does look loaded but feel free to blow your head off to find out Here is a picture of what it looks like. From what you know of this type of gun you know it takes .50 callibur ammo.

Stupid question, but it does? I'd assume this shotgun is a 12 gauge, so 12 gauge shells would obviously be what it takes. Isn't .50 cal ammo more typical of machine guns and rifles?

Koln turns the gun over and looks to see if it is loaded.

Clover continued to smile. Pretty. But definitely deadly.
She turned to Ruby and nodded, "Give him that journal Professor Jones gave us. Remember? The one that none of us could understand?"
As she waited for Ruby to comply, she continued to abuse the poor doctor. Crouching down, she balanced on the balls of her feet, her knees gently touching the floor. She leaned in towards him, looking smug, "Now, while we wait for that, tell me, Doctor. Whose side were you on? Did you create us? Or did you want to destroy us?"
Clover smiled again. More fangs.

Ruby smiles slyly and pulls out the chemistry journal from her homemade clutch. "I wish I could understand this myself, I was always fond of science but unfortunately my education only covered the basics," she said solemnly. She handed it over to Liverman.
"I am releived that Prestor's intentions were to cure vampirism, however I wish he wouldn't create us in the process and doom us to eternal damnation," she said coldly.

I'm sorry, it is a 12 guage. It's a shotgun and not a rifle, it's just a single-barrel shotgun.

Koln can see that there are 4 cartridges loaded into the gun.

Ruby smiles slyly and pulls out the chemistry journal from her homemade clutch. "I wish I could understand this myself, I was always fond of science but unfortunately my education only covered the basics," she said solemnly. She handed it over to Liverman.
"I am releived that Prestor's intentions were to cure vampirism, however I wish he wouldn't create us in the process and doom us to eternal damnation," she said coldly.

Liverman stands up and takes the journal from Ruby. "*Ahem* Maybe we can go over to the table here where there is better lighting to look at this. Besides, this girl over here is giving me the creeps." He walks away from Clover and moves to a dining room table in the next room. He clears off some pizza boxes and other papers that he has lying sloppily on it and turns on an overhead light. He sits down in one of the chairs and opens up the journal, skimming through it quickly.

"I see...well, this isn't actually what was stolen from me. These are his notes. I'm very glad you brought these. This is actually what I was looking for in Dr. Prestor's house after the fire. Unfortunately that still leaves out part of the puzzle here. My own notes are missing and I need those to completely figure out what was going on here." His pauses, and it seems that he is lost in though. His eyes wander on the table and he spots something that catches his interest. He pulls up a scrap of paper that was lying there and looks at it. "You know, this is starting to make sense. I bet you it was that dirty little guy who wanted to buy the results of my research! I have his phone number here" he says showing you all the scrap of paper with a number jotted down on it. "I had forgotten all about this. I bet he was the one who broke into my house and stole the notes. that little bastard!"

Pouting, 'How in the world did he break my spell? Why did he stand?' Clover strode into the room and snatched the piece of paper out of his hand.
Enough games!
Enough phone numbers!
Answers. Now.
Solution?
She took out her cell phone, grumbling, "Enough games and running around. Let's put an end to this."
Clover brought up Internet Explorer on her cell phone. From there, she headed to Google and punched in the number, seeing who or what would come up.

(And yes! You can Google phone numbers. It's rather creepy. At the click of a button, someone can know who you are and where you live.)

"Well excuse me..." Liverman says as Clover snatches the paper from his hand. "That number is definitely a Denver home number and not a cell phone. I never thought of tracking it because his strange call just dawned on me now."

The number is easy to track, it is a listed house phone number. The number belongs to a Robert Klondike and the house is located in northern Denver right on the edge. To be more specific, the house is located here on the map.

Koln, holding the gun from a little above his waist, keeps it aimed at Liverman with the barrel tilted upward in the direction of his face. "Actually, no. This is not making any sense whatsoever. But I'm insane, so I just mostly smile and nod. I was in Disneyland just a second ago or so I thought... Oh I love the teacup ride, have you ever been? And Splash Mountain! I even got a picture with Socrates! I later got kicked out of the Haunted Mansion, rather not talk about that... but got pictures with the Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy the Dog! Er, anyway. This man, why would he want your notes so badly? What would he gain from it? This is all nonsense, a 'cure' for vampirism. Heh, I hold the cure right here, and I intend of distributing it one shell at a time."

Clover flashed an honest smile at Koln as she saved the address to her phone. She stifled a small laugh, then nodded to Ruby, "Well then, since we seem to be on a roll... Koln? Why not stay here and keep the good Doctor company. Ruby and I will head up to Robert Klondike's house and nip this problem in the bud. Doctor Liverman. With any luck, we can have your research back to you this evening. Then... we'll talk more."
She nodded cordially at Liverman and smiled at Ruby, inviting her out of the house once more.

She nodded cordially at Liverman and smiled at Ruby, inviting her out of the house once more.

Liverman says "Wait, I can drive you there. I mean, wouldn't that be easier? I can drop you off near the house and you can do what you need to to get it back." You follow Liverman out the door and he opens his car for everyone to get in.

It takes about 30 minutes to get to Klondike's house and the car ride is quiet and awkward. Liverman sees Koln smiling and staring off into space in the back seat next to Ruby. "So...is being crazy like a bad side effect of vampirism or something? I mean, you two girls seem to be with it and Dr. Prestor was a genius, that guy knew more than anyone I've ever spoken to about Biochemistry. It's too bad he didn't write a book or leave more documentation about his studies."

When you get to within 2 blocks of the house Liverman pulls over onto a darkened dead end road. "I'm going to drop you off here. I don't know much about this guy and what he's capable of. He could be a vampire too for all I know. I don't think you'll have to get violent with him, I don't know maybe you can bargain with him or use some wierd vampire powers on him. I'll wait here for you and I'll look over these notes while I wait. His house is right down that street there, number 142." Liverman looks at Koln still carrying the gun "You know, it might not be a good idea for you to bring that gun with you, I mean, this guy sounded pretty paranoid over the phone. Up to you though."

"Exactly, he could be a vampire..." Koln mutters as he takes out the shells of the shotgun and puts them in his pocket. He then turns away from everyone, taking off his belt, and sliding the gun down his pants, using the strap of his underwear as a makeshift 'holster' to keep the gun's handle upright. He then slides his belt back on. With his heavy coat on and hanging over his shoulders, the bulge in the side of his pants is not very noticeable, although sitting would be an obvious problem.

"It's a little trick the priests showed us when I was a student with the Church, able to get all sorts of things in our pants covertly. Anyway, shall we go?"
