Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Strider_Koln]

That would normally mean in GM terms "forget about the door and try something else" but since everyone is so obsessed have it your way!

The door bursts open with the kick and you are faced with a long hallway that looks like it is part of some kind of office building. There are panicked voices and people running in the rooms beyond. You can distinctly hear a woman say "Was that a gunshot!? What's going on!" There are footsteps running down the hallway in your direction.

I'm all for the indirect approach... if it wouldn't take another week to attempt it!

Koln collects his shell casings, putting them into his pocket but hears footsteps approaching. He rolls under the desk and whispers to Ruby and Clover, "Hide in the lockers! No, not the same one. Don't put all of your eggs into one basket!"

He then fades into the shadows under the desk Cloak of Shadows

Clover gritted her teeth and hissed some indecipherable curse under her breath. Then she grabbed Ruby by the back of her shirt, whispering, "You! In!" She shoved Ruby into one locker, shut it quietly, then stepped into the other, shutting it with barely a click behind her.

Clover locks Ruby into the locker full of dirty clothes and hides herself in the one with pipes and a hammer. Soon after the girls are hidden two security guards show up with their guns drawn. They stop and examine the door one saying to the other "Definitely looks like a break in. They couldn't have gotten far, there's no way out of here that wouldn't have led them right into us." While one guard searches the hallway outside the other one moves through the office to check the other door.

Koln needs to make a Hide Check with the +8 modifier.

Koln watches from the shadows, getting ready to quietly take both guards if he's discovered. What are their auras?

Guard Search Check
1d20+5 → [2,5] = (7)

He sucks and doesn't even think to check the lockers.

The guard passes through the room without taking any notice of Koln. He checks the door on the other side and peeks into the room with the control panels with a flashlight. Not noticing anything out of the ordinary he goes back to the hallway with the other guard and closes the now broken door behind him. You can all hear the two guards talking to one another outside the door.

Koln slips from under the table and makes a 'quiet' motion with his finger over his lips as he passes by the lockers. He takes off his hat and moves his ear close to the door.

Listen check, wonder what they're saying. Hopefully some clues about where the hell are we, who are these people, and why are they working so late at night.

Ruby, with her nose pinched by one hand from the stench, slowly steps out of the locker. Her lips are in a full pout from the unpleasant experience. Watching Koln placing his ear to the door, she moves in and does the same.

"Oui, it smells like poo-gas.... I hate having heightened senses sometimes." You know how the 'sewer level' is almost always the lamest level in any videogame? Yeah... PLEASE LET IT BE OVER SOON! I miss tripping the light fantastic up at the 24th Diocese. Oh, and biting people! I used to do that too!
Er not me of course, I meant Koln ^^


Koln keeps his best to keep his voice as quiet as possible, practically at an inaudible level and hoping Ruby's keen hearing can pick up what he's saying.

"Any idea what time it is? And what kind of office would be below the University of Denver? Unless... can it be that we have traveled so low below the surface we have arrived in Hell?! Granted, I always believed I'd be there, and am grateful that I am there with you Ruby... but I always imagined Hell to be somewhat different than a mere office building. Uh... oh... on second thought, maybe not.... Abandon all thought ye who enter. No problem..."

Clover also emerged from the locker, immediately (and characteristically) crossing her arms in annoyance. She meant to grumble something to Koln about how he basically just abandoned them to the shadows back there, but thought better of it. She rolled her eyes, 'What does it matter? No one listens to me, anyway. Look at those two over there: All lovey-dovey and pressed up against the door together like puppies salivating over the treats on the other side. It's sickening! And another thing...!' *Clover's thoughts trail off in a myriad of similar directions as she pouts and scoffs silently*

Koln gives her a quick cold look and very quietly reprimands her, "Shh, you're grey-matter is too loud. Keep it down. ...And there might be cake."
