Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

The Hinterlands - Farm

Ah.. well let's just say Koln is now outside talking to a shrubbery he thinks is Lacey. Being Malkavian sure is convenient. Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a happy new year! I'm posting a map so that everyone can see what is going on and where everyone is. On this map I show Koln standing next to the house and in front of a bush that he thinks is Lacey. Ruby and Clover are hiding in the bed of the truck. The truck is about 60 feet away from the house so in the pitch blackness you can see why the old man didn't see the truck. As mentioned before, Lacey walked into the house through the front door that the old man left open when he walked out into the yard.

After a short while, while Koln is talking to a bush, a window opens behind him and Lacey pokes her head out. She whispers in an agitated voice "Psst, hey! That bush doesn't look like me at all! I look much better! I think this old man is going to sleep, he locked himself in a room on the other side of the house. If you move quietly I'll help you get in this way."

Clover felt herself calm down as the man went back inside. Which was good because she wasn't sure what she would have done had he come her way. She was sure she could have done something to make him think of other things. But that wasn't fool proof.
Either way, she didn't like the truck being so close to the house. Smiling sheepishly, she looked over at Ruby, "You know, for a moment I was contemplating driving this truck away from the house so he couldn't see it. But I guess it would make more noise than it would be worth. Heh. You know what though, Ruby? I don't even have a driver's license! One of the perks of being a city girl, I suppose."
A silence fell between them for a moment as Clover thought about her own statement, then she shrugged as she innocently queried, "You know, I was wondering? What do the Amish do? Do you like... need a license to operate a horse and buggy or anything?" Realizing how stupid that sounded after the fact, she hoped that her question still came across as genuine... which it was.

Koln nods, whispering to the bush, "Excuse me Lacey, Lacey needs me inside the house." He excuses himself and does his best to quietly climb in through the window. As he moves it is evident the priest has had many years of training in the art of stealth - very ninja-like. Those demons won't know what's coming until it's too late.

Koln climbs through the window and jumps down landing on all fours while being completely silent. Lacey quietly claps her hands together in approval. Looking around the room you can see that this is the kitchen of the house. A stove, countertops, and an old refrigerator sit here. There is a closed door to the right and an open archway to the south leading off to another room where you can see a round wooden table with two chairs around it. The house is completely dark but through your heightened senses you can make out that the whole house is old and comes complete with a creaky wooden floor that should be taken cautiously. Lacey points towards the open archway where the table is suggesting that that is the best route to take.

Here's a map!

Koln nods, but being a professional at this sort of thing he takes her advice with a grain of salt as he starts to investigate the kitchen. Quietly cross stepping along the walls over to the stove, pausing for a moment, and moves to the fridge. He takes out his gun and slowly opens the door, using it as cover as he peers around it. (Insert ZUUL joke here... and besides the demon-dog, anything worthy of note in the fridge? also does anything pop into his mind from touching the fridge via Spirit's Touch?)

^_^; had to look it up to be sure on this one lol


"Yes that was a close one. Looks like it's too dark and far away for him to see it," Ruby said in relief.

"You know, I was wondering? What do the Amish do? Do you like... need a license to operate a horse and buggy or anything?"

Ruby thought on this a moment, seeing that a license is something she wasn't familiar with. "I have never really heard of a license, but I think the elders once told us we have to be educated in driving differently from everyone else because we cannot brand ourselves with identification. We think having our pictures taken or owning mirrors is vain and sinful, as if we are displaying our souls in a vulgar fashion if you will. Granted, we do get educated by visiting teachers and by our parents on how to drive buggies. It took me a couple of months to drive one myself with my papa, but it was a little scary riding along side of all the noisy vehicles in comparison, so I rarely took to the roads."
She laid back in the truck bed with her arms tucked behind her head. "I hope they are both ok in there.." she said nervously. "I can't pretend that I'm not truly worried about everyone anymore."

I will definitely look into getting that resource for the D20 guns. That looks like iot would help a lot with adding some rather cool weapons to our game. Thanks

Koln opens the fridge "ZUUUUUULE".

There are your average food products (just look at all those carbs!). There are also 3 bottles filled with a dark red liquid that looks like wine. When using Spirit's Touch on the fridge you see images of the old man using the fridge and the same younger man from before. The younger man is putting the bottles into the fridge.

You think you hear the horse whinny and it sounds like it is right next to you. You know that it would be impossible to hear that loudly from here.

Clover nodded and sunk down further into the truck bed, "I know. I'm worried, too. But it wouldn't make much sense for us to go after Koln. We would just hinder him. You know, honestly? I'm not sure if I'd afford Lacey the same luxury? I'm still not sure what I think of her. I mean, we barely know her, and..."
Just then, she heard a horse whinny. She knew it was odd since they had left the horse on the other side of the street, but then she also wondered if it might denote some kind of danger.
Jumping at the sound, she crouched on her knees and peered into the darkness for the horse.

Search for the horse!

(really, though, I'm assuming it has something to do with that stupid horseshoe, but I don't think that that would be Clover's first thought since she really wants to deny that she is "hearing" things)

You continue to hear a horse. It sounds like it is getting agitated and is kicking at something wooden. Ruby doesn't seem to take any notice.
