Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

Ruby walks along Lacey as they make their way towards the smaller house as Clover and Koln head towards the larger. "I like that invisible trick you have there, makes good for sneaking," she says with a smirk as they reached the door. "As much as I would like to head in first it probably be a good idea if you easily slipped in just in case, I could follow you in when it is clear," she suggested.

"Fine, I see that there is no arguing with you. Although, again, the smart thing would be to have one (me) or maybe two (me and sidekick) people quickly scout ahead and come back since time is running short. Even if we split up and cover more ground, I doubt we'll be able to really investigate much. But you're the boss."
Clover stepped slowly out of the truck, nodding at Koln in thanks for opening the door. She mumbled quietly at his words, disgusted even with herself, "That's right. I'm the boss." She clenched her jaw after the words, hating to admit they were true. What Emerson had said came back to her in a rush, and she was sorry to admit that, yes, she really did feel like she was in charge. And that Ruby and Koln were bound to follow her wherever she went. Whatever she wanted.
It was sickening, yet strangely exhilarating.
After making sure that Ruby and Lacey were on the right track (walking towards the house, that is) she motioned to Koln to lead the way towards the barn. There was no way in hell she was going first!

Koln takes point with his gun at the ready at his hip. He walks slowly, paying careful attention to what his heightened senses tell him and being cautious to remain close to Clover. "I don't know about you Clover, but I pray this wretched night ends soon. I have this strong desire to rest... just stop existing for awhile. Have you ever felt like that, the need to disappear for awhile? Sure I have nightmares, who doesn't, but they're nothing compared to the nightmares I have when I'm awake."

The Neighbor's Farm

Ruby walks along Lacey as they make their way towards the smaller house as Clover and Koln head towards the larger. "I like that invisible trick you have there, makes good for sneaking," she says with a smirk as they reached the door. "As much as I would like to head in first it probably be a good idea if you easily slipped in just in case, I could follow you in when it is clear," she suggested.

Lacey nods at Ruby and whispers "Yes, I will go in first and investigate. First, let's see if there is a better way into this place. There might be humans inside." She motions for Ruby to follow her as she sneaks around the back of the house. On your way there you notice an old beat up truck in the driveway, it looks more beat up than Lacey's, brown rusty patches spotting the light blue exterior. Despite looking old it still looks like it would work. Next to that is parked a red sedan which is in relatively good condition.

When you get to the back of the house Lacey motions for Ruby to stop and points at the back door which looks like it has been kicked in. She whispers "Wait here." She quietly goes through the broken door creeping along. Moments later she pokes her head out and motions for Ruby to come inside but puts her finger on her lips to say that she still needs to remain silent.

Koln and Clover go to the barn. As they get closer Koln is first to pick up on the sent of death and decay, it doesn't take long for Clover to pick up on the same putrid smell. You pass by a field where cattle would most likely be grazing but all that is left are the bones and rotted remains of cows and other various farm animals. With the barn being much closer now you can see that the wide sliding door of the barn is slightly open, probably wide enough for a horse to fit through.

Make me some search checks if you are searching this area.

You notice that many of the animal carcasses are missing their heads.

Ruby slinks over through the opening once Lacey gave her the signal. She hunches low as if stalking her prey in an open field.

While looking around near the fenced in field a glint of metal catches your eye. Unfortunately it is inside the fenced in area amongst the dead animals.

Ruby tries to move quietly but her dress catches on the door and while trying to free it a piece of the broken wood falls off landing on the floor. Lacey, who is looking through a fridge turns to Ruby and shoots her a dirty look putting her finger to her mouth again and shaking her head as she looks through the fridge some more. Seeing as there is a fridge in the room, it is quite obvious that this is a kitchen, although it looks like it hasn't been used in awhile. Dirt is covering the once white linoleum floor and the sink is full of dirty dishes and murky water. Ruby notices that the light in the fridge is working as Lacey has it open making it so that she is just a shadow in front of the bright light. There is an archway to the north of the kitchen where Ruby can see the front door. To the left is a closed door.

Here's a map.

Clover couldn't keep a look of disgust from creeping over her face, and she felt her nose wrinkle. 'Ew... this is totally gross! And weird! What's with all the dead animals? And why is the shiny thing in there!?'
She leaned forward and hung on the fence, feeling her stomach drop as she surveyed the carnage. She whispered as she felt Koln step up beside her, "So much death. Who would do this to animals? It's sick."
Clover shook her head and pointed out her finger, "Look. Do you see the thing shining? I wonder what it is?"
'Oh... I'm terrible...' Clover set her face innocently as she looked over sheepishly at Koln, "I... uh... don't suppose you'd like to go check it out... would you?" ^.^*

"Now do you see the madness inherent in being a vampire? It's not all high school and sparkling now is it?" Koln moves in the direction of Clover's arm, walking towards the object, keeping alert to his surroundings. "This is all nothing I haven't seen before..."

While walking in the fenced in area Koln can hear them all, the sounds of their incessant yelping and brawing and talking and screaming and crying. "This is not a place for you, Socrates. I'm sorry."
