Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[ladyphoenix]

Do you think there are any animals around here who could tell you a little more about this place?" She smiled encouragingly. Anyone can tell by sniffing the air that there is a farm with animals of some kind over the hill.

Ruby nodded in agreement and smiled. "I suppose your right, we should tread carefully at first. I guess I can be overzealous sometimes."
She took a good whiff in the air. "Oh yes, there must be someone who can help us out here indeed.
Beckoning for the local wild/farm animals

Clover sniffed at the air after Ruby did and found her nose crinkling in disgust, "Ew. Well, I suppose this is a farm. Maybe some friendly chickens could offer us some insight? Or perhaps the neighborhood rooster?"
Realizing that she was beginning to sound patronizing towards Ruby's abilities, she amended what she said, "I mean, we're lucky that you have this power, Ruby. I may be able to control people's minds, but that's only useful if there are people around! At least there always seem to be animals. So you're lucky."

Way to dis Ruby Clover Just for future reference, Ruby has to specify what animal she is beckoning. She has to make that animal's sound.

You hear the whinny of a horse coming from the other side of the road. No horse arrives in response though.

Hope everyone had a merry Christmas! If anyone is confused, this is what is going on right now. Everyone is out of the truck and by the mailbox. Lacey is heading towards the house and we can assume that Koln and Ruby want to follow her. Clover is telling Ruby to stay behind.

Lacey whispers back to Clover "Good idea, Koln and I will take a look. There was something I wanted to show him anyway. Come with me Koln." Lacey motions for Koln to follow behind her.

Anyone can tell by sniffing the air that there is a farm with animals of some kind over the hill.

Koln nods and follows Lacey. However before leaving the mailbox he looks down quickly, searching for any unfamiliar footprints. If that well-dressed guy visited the mailbox recently there could be some tell-tale prints.

Spot check
Koln acting like Auerion?

Koln
[sblock]
You can see a few footprints in the dirt. Most of them look like they came from work boots that a farmer would wear. Some of them look like they came from some more casual shoes, fancier shoes.

As Koln and Lacey walk together Lacey moves close to Koln, perhaps a little too close. Koln can smell the faint scent of bath soap on her. She talks to Koln in a low voice, so low that without Heightened Senses even a vampire wouldn't be able to hear. "Now look here Koln, we Malkavians are like the ninjas of vampires! We can be inside this guy's house without him even knowing we're there! Now I'm sure that because you are a fairly new vampire you haven't explored all of your abilities. One ability that we have is called Obfuscate. I can't really show you but basically how it works is you get inside peoples' heads and you make them think that you aren't there, it's like you're invisible! If you're new to this ablity than all you are going to be able to do is hide in the shadows, but don't worry it's not just hiding in the shadows; it'll be like you've become the shadows!"

As Koln and Lacey walk up the path they can see a ranch up ahead. There is a one-story house with a large fenced in field behind it. There are no lights on in or around this house at all but it is in too good of shape to be abandoned.

It wasn't a dis. I said it was cool to talk to animals... after I suggested that Ruby should go talk to some chickens... ^.^*

Clover smiled at the sound of the horse. As most children of higher society tend to do, she had taken her share of equestrian classes when she was younger. She couldn't say she was the best rider, however she had a good love and respect for the creatures.
Completely ignoring the fact that the horse she was about to look for probably wasn't of the well-bred, well-groomed stock she was used to, she beckoned to Ruby, "Hey, did you hear that?" She began to walk across the road, making gentle clicking sounds with her tongue and calling out into the dark as she approached the fence, "Here, girl! Come 'ere! That's a good girl..."
She wondered if Ruby, being Amish, had even more of a way with horses and suspected that the girl could probably ride circles around herself, given the chance.

'Hehe, I guess she's up for some adventure now,' Ruby thought as she chuckled. She follows Clover up towards the fence where they are about to discover the newfound horse.
"You know, back home we would take retired racehorses donated from the tracks and use them to pull our buggies. They had some real pep in them and could even sometimes outrun some of the automobiles. They are one of the sweetest of God's creatures."

I just see this horse pulling a buggy down a road at 70mph

Over the river and through the trees Clover and Ruby go. They come to a fenced in stable area, too small for horses to get any exercise in but large enough to keep them in for the night. The stable is a small wooden structure with an open front. The inside is filled with hay. When Clover and Ruby approach, a single black horse pokes its head out of the stable.

Ruby slowly approaches the horse, making sure not to frighten him/her. Feral Whispers "Hello, we are passing through this area and are seeing who lives in these woods. Is your owner here at this time? We are also looking for someone who is like us and moves like us, a male version. In return for your information, is there anything else you need since we understand one another?" Ruby conversed with a smile as always. She looked back at Clover. "Is there anything else you would like me to ask it or tell it?"

 

[izillama]

Clover smiled, completely delighted by the sight of the horse. She answered Ruby offhandedly, "Yes, ask Black Beauty what her name is?" Then, she thought a bit further and shrugged, "Nothing more than what you already asked, I suppose. That about covers it." ^.^
