Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[izillama]

Lowering the smoking pistol, Clover allowed herself a moment to drop her forehead into an open palm. 'After so many minutes of shooting and fighting, the guy finally gives up because a couple of ravens are attacking him? I don't know whether to laugh or cry...'
Seeing that she was the only one left in a loft, she slowly picked her way down to the floor, glancing outside of the barn and wondering if she should go after Ruby and Lacey. But then, she figured Lacey probably had the situation under control (amazingly) and she really didn't trust herself to look Bothwell in the face and not mutter something malicious just yet.
Slowly, she walked over to Koln. Her face was set in genuine concern, "Are you all right, Koln? You took quite a fall back there. Don't worry about Ruby, though. She's tough. She got a bit beat up, but I'm sure she'll be fine." She smiled to show Koln she wasn't worried, but really she was worried. And, she thought, she would like nothing more at the moment than to make Bothwell pay for what he did to her friend(s)!
'Oh, just you wait, you *********************... Wait til I take you to the prince. Wait til I get you alone so I can give you a piece of my mind...' >.<*

 

[Strider_Koln]

Stoically Koln approaches Bothwell, completely ignoring Lacey and Clover. Without a word he kicks aside Bothwell's weapon. With no hint of emotion he briskly and unceremoniously raises his gun to the back of Bothwell's head, the barrel just barely touching him. For a moment it appears as if Koln's about to escort Bothwell at gunpoint back to the truck, that is until he squeezes the trigger, quite confident that the impact of the shot at this range would do the job. If not, the explosive fireburst upon the bullet's entry into his skull ought to do it.

That's right, I'm trying to off Bothwell. Not sure if I should roll for this... seems kinda silly to. I'll leave it up to the DM to describe what happens next. If Bothwell dies, which he so should, see below.


Coldly he puts away his weapon and turns to the others, "He resisted and refused to come back alive. That is what we tell Edward. Let's go."

No you won't have to roll because I'm too lazy but it won't be a coup de grâce because he isn't helpless. I'll roll damage and count it as a head shot. You do realize that the bullets don't explode though, they just deal fire damage. Also just note that his rifle was left up in the loft of the barn and is not on his person.

Damage
2d6 → [4,6] = (10)


Fire Damage
1d6 → [6] = (6)

Bothwell takes 22 damage (4 absorbed) from the shot to the head.

The bullet passes through Bothwell's skull and blasts out is left eye. He falls to the ground in a heap.

I'll just storyboard this next part.

Koln turns to face the stunned group "He resisted and refused to come back alive. That is what we tell Edward. Let's go."

Just as Koln is walking away Bothwell comes up from behind him and wraps his arm around Koln's neck from behind "All of you back off or I'll break his ing neck!" He grips tightly and you can all hear Koln's throat starting to crush under Bothwell's strength. For once Koln is thankful that he doesn't need breath to live or her would surely be suffocating right now.

Bothwell starts moving back slowly towards the road. Lacey gives the other's a quick look before going into action.

Lacey spends 2 bloodpoints to bloodbuff (STR).

She quickly breaks the chairleg over her knee and sprints towards Koln and Bothwell. She looks at Koln and whispers "I'm sorry..." before jamming the broken chairleg through his chest piercing his heart. Koln's world goes black as he becomes paralyzed. In shocked disbelief Bothwell drops Koln. Lacey takes the opportunity to drive the other piece of the chairleg into Bothwell's chest paralyzing him as well. She then proceeds to crouch down on the ground next to Koln, seemingly fixated on something that Clover and Ruby can't see and mumble to herself.

Ruby screams as she runs towards Koln's side, frantically looking him up and down.
"What have you done to him?!" she blasted at Lacey, horrified. She gently places her hand on his forehead "You'll be ok Koln, just hang in there.." she managed to say, trying to convince herself more than anyone else.

Moving close to Lacey Ruby can see that she is crouching over Koln's pistol. She doesn't seem to notice Ruby at first and instead is muttering to herself "Oh ok Freddie, I won't touch it. I know it must be dangerous. Yes yes, if only you could shoot yourself with it..." She then looks at Ruby just noticing her standing there and smiles up at her "Oh don't worry, he'll be fine. Hey, you want to help me take Mr. Bothwell to the truck? We can throw him in the back carriage and see how loud a thump he makes!"

Ruby wipes her eyes after Lacey's kind reassuring words. "Ok.." she said with a weak smile. She fixed Koln's hat so it sat comfortably on his head before she went over to Bothwell again. She felt a pang of sadness within her wondering if Lacey also had suicidal tendencies like Clover. Perhaps they had more in common than they each thought afterall... Before she hoisted Bothwell over her shoulders she looked over at the hovering eager ravens. Feral whispers "If he tries to escape from our truck, you may feast on his remaining flesh.." she said grimly She then hoisted Bothwell over her shoulders and headed towards the truck.

 

[Strider_Koln]

Awesome... but didnt Bothwell have to make a melee touch attack to grab Koln?

 

[izillama]

Angry and amazed at what Lacey just did (not even at what Koln just tried to do!) Clover snapped. She knew this would just aggravate things, but she had had enough. An angry, dangerous sound of rage escaped her throat as she lunged forward at Lacey.

I'm spending 1 blood point here (STR)

Enraged, screaming, spitting, intolerant of anything anymore, she made a grab at the collar of Lacey's shirt, thrusting (if I can!) the girl skyward.

Can I lift Lacey? I'm not sure if this is the right way to roll since I never blood buff.
1d20+1+4 → [16,1,4] = (21)

She roared, "What the **** is wrong with you you stupid, *******, moronic excuse for a woman!?!? How dare you do that to Koln!?!? What gave you the right!?"

Clover goes ballistic! Yay!

No no Koln, that is why I said storyboard. No rolling in storyboard, it's like a cutscene! Now for Clover, since she is doing a grapple the roll would look like this 1d20+8 -> [16,8] = (24).

Opposing Grapple
1d20+8 → [18,8] = (26)

Clover lifts Lacey up and Lacey looks surprised and angry. She beats on Clover's head with her fists "Let me go, let me go!" Clover drops the struggling woman and the two girls start having an all out cat fight.

The ravens flutter down near Ruby as if they are standing guard. Ruby puts Bothwell in the bed of the truck and sees that there is a canvas blanket back there with which to cover the body. When she turns around she sees Lacey and Clover slapping and yelling at each other off in the distance.
