Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

"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?"

Liverman watches as Koln sticks the gun in his pants. "You know, I was going to ask you to give that back after this over, but now I think I'll just let you keep it."

"Yes, lets get this over with then," Ruby says determined. She takes out her knife attempts to covertly hide it in her clutch. "Oh do I miss my old switchblade, but I think this one will do some good too," she says as she stares at her clutch. She looks down the block and prepares to walk towards #142 with the rest of the group.

Clover pressed her lips together and gave Koln a disapproving look for this comment (though she was certain she didn't mean anything... dishonorable by it.
Nonetheless, after a moment and watching Ruby stow her knife led the group forward, stopping them a few houses away so that they could observe from a distance.
What did the house look like? What kind of condition was it in? Were there any lights on? A car in the driveway? She peered cautiously through the darkness to get a better look.

Clover pressed her lips together and gave Koln a disapproving look for this comment (though she was certain she didn't mean anything... dishonorable by it.
Nonetheless, after a moment and watching Ruby stow her knife led the group forward, stopping them a few houses away so that they could observe from a distance.

This appears to be a typical blue collar neighborhood. Ranch style houses line the streets. It turns out that Klondike's house is also a ranch style house that is located at the end of a dead end road and rather tucked away behind trees. The time is around 10pm by the time you reach the house. It is a white shingled house that is in decent condition, there even looks to be some evidence of gardening outside the house, a huge contrast to Liverman's bachelor pad. There are no lights on in the rooms in the front of the house but the porch lights and other outside lights are on providing little cover around the perimeter of the house. There are no cars in the driveway although there is a closed garage next to the house itself.

Koln huddles up with Ruby and Clover, "I don't like this. Figures he has to have the LAST house on this dead-end street. So that means we have to walk infront/around all of the other houses to get to his. If someone is awake they could see us, especially me, who is supposed to be dead. Maybe I should wear a mask? It should be something inconspicuous... oh, I know. A hockey goalie mask! I will just look like I am a hockey player and no one would think otherwise! Brilliant! Write that down Clover, tomorrow evening, I get mask. Alright, happy we got that settled." Koln is about to break up the huddle until he hears Socrates squeak, and he re-huddles, as if he was just reminded of something.

"Oh, er right. How are we doing this? We could nicely knock on the door... but I'd rather not. If we're breaking and entering, you can leave that to me. However, it is illegal. You two have any other ideas? Oh! I could change into a bat and scout ahead! How's that sound?"

Clover thought for a moment, then shrugged, "I disagree, Koln. The last house on a dead end street suits me just fine. It'll be easier to stay inconspicuous. Now, I say we go in directly. More or less. If you think it's a good idea, I'll head up to the front door and give it a ring. If he answers, I'll see what I can find out. If he's not home, well, let's just break into the place. Ok? While I head to the front door, Ruby, you'll cover me from the shadows. Surely he'll take a Catholic school girl all by her lonesome to be non-threatening. Meanwhile, Koln, you'll head around back and keep an eye on Ruby. If she gives you a signal, which I'll give her, you can go ahead and do your breaking. Ok? Does this sound good?"

(Hooray! Gifts all around! A break-in for Koln. A possible fight for Ruby. And A chance to play helplessly lost schoolgirl for Clover. What can go wrong? ^.^)

Ruby becomes instantly giddy over Clover's mischievous plan. "Sounds like fun! Oh yes a signal, hmm... umm... oh oh how bout this?!" she says quickly. She punches the inside of her palm almost as if it was someone's face. "As much as I hope this person is welcoming, I do enjoy crashing things down," she says with a giggle.

Koln smiles at Ruby, and can't help but tightly hug her. "You're adorable when you're scary! Alright, so let's do this. Do what you can Clover, but take comfort for the Lord watches over... and so will I with my boomstick!"

As the approach, Koln keeps his eyes peeled. He stays low and moves his head to below the nearest window sill, not touching it, but straining to hear and peer inside.

Is Koln going to a window in the back of the house or the front?

Koln
[sblock]
Listening Koln can hear that there is someone watching a TV inside the house. If he is going around the back then he can see the glow of the TV through one of the back windows. No matter what window he goes to though he cannot see a person through it. All of the curtains are pulled over.

Koln creeps along the side of the house, facing Clover. Wanting to stay silent, he reserves himself to using signals.

He points to Clover and gives a thumbs-up, as a signal to go ahead with her plan.
He motions with one finger, and points inside, 'There is one inside."
Stops and points to his eyes and makes a tv remote motion, 'Watching TV.'
He points back to Clover and makes a screaming motion, a listening motion with his own ear, and a shotgun cocking motion with his hands.
Koln then procedes to point to the sky, using one of his hands as what seems to be an aircraft making helicopter noises. Then he spells out 'Y, M, C' A' with his hands, and then smiles wide with his fingers in front of his mouth, as if fangs. Putting one finger infront, pointing to something only he can see, he joins his hands in the form of a 'bird' flying away. He then looks at his wrist, as if looking at a watch, and then puts both hands on his head in the form of 'ears,' flapping them as he does some kind of dance... I am not sure what he's doing here, I am just his player.
Feeling confident he got the message across, Koln creeps back to the rear of the house and hides out of view of the windows.
