Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Tin Can Tim jumps back. He goes behind the fire and raises the can over his head. "Foul demon begone! Begone or I will land this can right between your eyes!" He squints at Koln and says "Oh, a man...or so you say. You speak gibberish. I've seen many things, but none so strange as a beast who calls himself a priest."

You are too far away to hear breathing or a heartbeat. Tin Can Tim's aura is a GOLD AURA COLOR: The color of enlightenment and divine protection. When seen within the aura, it says that the person is being guided by their highest good. It is divine guidance. Protection, wisdom, inner knowledge, spiritual mind, intuitive thinker.

Koln blinks and turns his head, looking over his shoulder behind him, as if thinking this person's addressing someone else. "Oh? Did you mean moi? Well I confess, no one besides our Lord is perfect, but ye who is without sin cast the first flaming garbage can...? Besides myself, I merely want information about anything else you've seen that's odd, it is a matter of faith you see. A small girl's life is in danger, as are all of the souls of Denver. Again I ask you, in the name of our Lord, have you seen anything not typical of human behavior?"

As you leave the club the man behind the counter says "Wait, now that you mention that guy. Aren't you and the red-hared girl friends of Edward? He told me to let you know that he wants you to see him as soon as you can. I think he might still be in a meeting but you can go back to his office and see him if you want."

Ruby stops in her tracks upon hearing this and turns, "Thank you, we will keep that in mind," she says curtly. She looks at Clover with a worried look. "Maybe we should all go back to him once we find Koln and hope for the best," she said. She wasn't ready for any cheerful news at any rate at this moment. She looked over her shoulder down the alleyways once they were outside. "We should split up and search. Too bad I don't know how to use those sell-phone things to communicate with." She scratched her head a bit in thought. "How bout I go with Mindy and she can call you or you can call us when we find him? I can protect her too out here if anything happens," she openly suggested.

Clover looked at Ruby with just a little surprise on her face. She was a bit taken aback by the fact that Ruby, of all people, had just suggested that they split up. Not because she didn't think the girl would ever be able to think of something so brilliant, but because she was sure that Ruby, like Koln, thought Clover too weak to do anything on her own.
She actually smiled at the compliment, nodding, "Yes. Of course. Good idea. Say we take... oh... one hour? Then we'll meet back here. Mindy and I will communicate via cell phone if anything should arise. Ok? Mindy, are you all right with this?"
She almost only remembered it as an afterthought to ask if Mindy was ok with splitting up from Clover and going with a girl that she barely knew anything about.

Tin Can Tim lowers his arm and clears his throat. "I suppose that's fair enough. I'm more or less a legend on these streets." He steps around the fire closer to where Koln is. Koln can see him much easier now, he's wearing a tattered trench coat and a dirty old Denver Broncos cap. He has a long beard that is mostly white with patches of gray.

He says to Koln "But you shouldn't jump out from under boxes like that. You'll give an old man a heart attack! As for strange things, I've seen a lot. There are things out here that most people would never believe existed. Recently though I saw a man bring someone back from the dead. A friend of mine had come down with some bad case of pneumonia, which is very dangerous for people living on the street you know because we are always fighting to stay warm during the colder months. Anyway, I went to go visit him to see how he was doing, I even brought a can of soup I had found to give to him. He lived right down the street from here right under the Route 470 overpass. When I got there the poor guy was stiff as a log, real shame I tell ya, such a nice guy he was. I heard someone coming and I hid behind some nearby bushes, but I could still see what was going on you know. I saw this man come over and he was dressed like he was going to a funeral or something, a black trench coat and a real fancy black suit. Anyway, this guy looks down at my friend lying there dead and starts saying something in a low voice. I couldn't understand what he was saying, I don't even think he was speaking english. But soon after this guy started talking he raised his hand over my friend and soon after my friend started moving again! I swear to the Lord this is true! The man left and my friend followed him, he moved kind of slow but he looked exactly the same. Well needless to say I was spooked shitless and I ran away from there the first chance I could! I haven't gone back there since."

She almost only remembered it as an afterthought to ask if Mindy was ok with splitting up from Clover and going with a girl that she barely knew anything about.

Mindy says "Umm, I guess so. I'd like to see you guys find him again. Ruby, why don't you get a phone? I mean, doesn't everybody have one these days? I'll go with her but let's make sure I don't get stabbed this time 'kay?"

I haven't gone back there since."

"I understand. That person you saw motionless, that was your friend. The person that got up and followed this trench coated man, that is no longer your friend. Next time to see either of them, I want you to avoid all eye contact. In fact, keep your eyes low with your chin tucked down in front of your neck and pray the Lord's Prayer as loudly as you can and don't stop. If you haven't been to Church lately, start." Koln slowly approaches the man and opens his coat, revealing his holsters and magazines strapped across his chest. He takes out his S&W and hands it to him. He instructs the homeless man how to use it.

"Take good care of it, it has served me well. You will need it. If this coated person was who I think it was, then your life is in danger. The creatures of the night operate under the cover of darkness, where there actions go unseen. If seen, the only rational solution is to pluck out all other eyes... You were no doubt spotted or sensed, no offense but I smelled you some time before you came into this alley. There are thirteen rounds in the magazine, 13 just like how many there were at the Last Supper, you understand? If you see him again, aim here" Koln holds the muzzle of the gun to his forehead. "And squeeze the trigger over and over again. If you down him, immediately separate his head from the rest of his body. If you don't have anything sharp on hand, what I've been told to do is repeatedly dig the heel of my boot into the victim's neck, thereby internally separating the person's skull from their vertebrae. You will know when that is, you'll feel a distinct snap... and fire is good, put it to good use."

"Oh, and do not even think of pawning this gun for alcohol." Koln gives him a reassuring smile and places a hand on his shoulder.

"You are indeed wise to not go back... you said it was under the Route 470 underpass... I'm not exactly sure where that is from here. Could you give me some directions, and from there what direction they headed?"

That's right, despite being a vampire, Koln is still a model of good Christian charity! Giving the homeless not change, but firearms!

What church do you go to anyway

"Umm....thanks..." Tin Can Tim says as he looks at the gun in his hand. He puts it into one of the pockets in his coat. "Route 470 is about thirty minutes south of here. Just follow the road and you'll see it, it's a huge bridge. Be very careful if you go down there, you never know who else could be lurking in the shadows."

The overpass is where Route 470 crosses with Interstate 25 on the map. Right now you're right on the edge of Denver near where the mall is.

Mindy says "Umm, I guess so. I'd like to see you guys find him again. Ruby, why don't you get a phone? I mean, doesn't everybody have one these days? I'll go with her but let's make sure I don't get stabbed this time 'kay?"

"I will keep both eyes and a nose open for you Mindy,"Ruby says with a confident smile. She then nods at Clover, "One hour it is, don't do anything reckless that I would do now," she says with a wink. With that Ruby leads the way towards the alleyways of Broadstreet.

"Thank you!" Koln replies happily and starts, almost skipping, out of the alley and heading south. "I know Socrates, but I said I was going to get Thaddeus tonight, and I'm a man of my word. I cannot get my mind off of that name... I need answers."

"One hour it is, don't do anything reckless that I would do now,"
Clover wrinkled her nose at Ruby as soon as the other two turned to walk away. Compliment indeed! It was just as she thought.
Since she wasn't entirely sure where to start looking, she felt like the most logical thing would be to take a walk around and keep an ear open for strange talk. Since Koln only seemed to know of two bus stops on the shuttle route--one for the 24th Diocese and one for the Broadstreet--she shrugged and began a brisk walk towards the other club, assuming that he wouldn't have strayed too far out of the range of the two bus stops.
She kept her eyes and ears open, particularly listening for anyone on the street discussing a strange-looking priest, possibly accompanied by a rat.
