Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Klondike Ranch

Frowning a little, Clover pressed her lips together and didn't answer immediately. Instead, she slowly crossed the hallway and found herself in front of the table with the mirror. She ran her hand over the wood and looked up into the class, seeing herself and Klondike reflected.
She spoke quietly, staring almost fixedly at her fake rosy complexion in the glass, "Now, what makes you say that, Mr. Klondike? Or haven't you heard that vampires don't have reflections?"
Clover turned and regarded him carefully, finally giving in after a moment and letting down her defenses, "And no: Liverman didn't hire a vampire as an attorney. How foolish would he be to hire someone who took no interest in his personal gain? Who only cares... about her own interests and survival?"
She nodded, taking a few paces back towards him, "Now, Klondike, my reasons for being here are my own. And I have no intention of causing you any harm, if it can be helped. So, here's the deal: Hand over Liverman's research and I'll leave."
'Not that I can say the same for my friends.' *grin*

Klondike laughs and says "If there's one thing I've learned from dealing with vampires all these years it's that you can never take anything they say at face value. I'll tell you what, how about you give me a taste of that delicious blood in you? Just a little bit. If you haven't noticed yet I'm a ghoul. Luckily for me I have no real master at the moment. The lady of the house here is away and I certainly don't want to sign myself into another blood contract. One sip of your blood can save me from a rather horrible demise." Klondike strokes his beard and flicks a switch on the wall that looks like a light switch.

Koln
[sblock]
You are minding your own business hiding in the shadows in the back of the house when all of a sudden it is daytime! You look up and see the golden rays beating down upon you. Your skin starts to simmer like bacon on a griddle. You feel no pain but you are certain that you are burning alive!

In actuality a row of lights just turned on under the awning of the roof right above where Koln was hiding.

Clover allowed her eyes to quickly flick towards the light switch as he flipped it. What was that for? Did he just call for reinforcements? Set off some sort of alarm? Who knew?
Either way, she found herself growing suddenly wary of him. His request--was creepy--seemed a bit suspect.
She tread carefully, buying time, perhaps, "And whom may I ask is this, quote unquote, lady of the house? Likewise, what would be in it for you? Drinking my blood, that is."
Her mind's eye flicked momentarily to the adoring eyes of her roommate, who was so weak to her influence. What would he gain from it?

"You know, we haven't really gotten to know each other yet. I just met her a few days ago actually. She's new here as I'm sure you are as well. But enough of that. I need vampire blood to survive at this point. Being a ghoul for so long, I've lived well past what a normal human would expect to live and so I need vampire blood every once in awhile to stay alive. As you can see, I'm already starting to age. So you see, your donation really could save a life here!" He gives Clover a rather silly grin.

Koln finishes loading his shotgun, giving it a pump as he waits. He heard Clover enter the home and prays for her safety, but his paranoia is slowly getting the better of him. What if she needs help, and he's just sitting idle outside? 'Grr... I shouldn't have left this up to her. I should be in there. Nothing against her, but if stuff goes wrong I am better suited to take care of myself. I'm a fool for allowing her to come in harm's way...' He debates whether or not to take action, unsuccessfully trying to calm his fears.
As soon as the lights flicker on Koln curses under his breath and grips the handle of the backdoor. He thinks it's safe, he did not hear an alarm beep when the front door was opened.

Koln turns the knob.
If it's locked, Koln attempts to force it open via lockpicking/smashing the knob with the butt of his shotgun.

Open lock
Roll Lookup
1d20+5 → [15,5] = (20)

If unsuccessful, Koln attempts to kick the door down,
Again, this is only if the lockpick fails.

Kicking open the door
Using one bloodpoint to bloodbuff
Roll Lookup
1d20+4+4 → [19,4,4] = (27)



(If either attempt succeeds), Koln enters the house with gun drawn, angrily yelling at him to what she demands or else. "Enough Klondike! You do not want to try my patience, I am ing batshit crazy and will not hesitate to decorate your walls with the between your ears that you call a brain! Give her what she wants and you will be spared Hell's fury this night. That is if I don't somehow forget moments later you cooperated and return to kill you anyway, which is a possibility." Koln is purposely acting crazier than normal, a psychological tactic meant to make the victim feel less in control, despite the reality of the matter that he actually has the advantage. The message that Koln's getting across is that he is at THEIR mercy, and he has no right to make a deal on his terms.

You sense that he is telling the truth about being a ghoul and needing blood.

I'm going to use the scenario I made for Koln. The lockpick would have worked but the door is locked from the inside as well from a different lock. Kicking down the door wouldn't have worked without help so I'm not going to take your blood for that. Both scenarios would lead to the same outcome anyway of alerting Klondike that there were others outside.

Klondioke and Clover are talking when all of a sudden they hear screaming coming from the backyard. You see koln running across the front yard with his shotgun out patting himself all over as if he's trying to put out a fire.

Klondike turns to Clover and draws a handgun, pointing it at her. "What is the meaning of this? You have spies hiding out trying to break in here? You're working for Thaddeus aren't you! It's just like him to send spies! Get out of this house now! Tell Thaddeus he can come get me himself!!"

Hey no fair! You didn't say that in the original post! W/e, fine. Koln's outside doing that I guess. >,<

I had changed it and it looks like we ended up posting at the same time. But now Ruby can do something because she sees Koln running across the yard

Suddenly taken away from her pine scent, Ruby hears alot of commotion from the yard. "What in the world?" she says as she sprouts up from the bush. She sees Koln flailing about as if he's on fire and rushes to his aid. "Koln! Whats wrong??!" she says as she tries to steady him with her hands. She then notices he's perfectly fine. "What the heck is going on?" she says while scratching her head. She sees that the lights are on in the house from his perspective and gets suspicious.
She will follow if Koln busts open the door, if not, she could try it herself

If you try to break open the front door, roll a Strength Check but keep in mind that he is right there.
