Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Tale_Weaver]

The Broadstreet

Clover began to carefully raise herself up on her good leg, testing her broken one on the ground when she stood. Curious. She had broken her arm once when she was younger, and had barely been able to keep a straight face for all the pain. Maybe her vampire nature absorbed the pain so she didn't feel it as much?

She watched Ruby walk off, dragging the semi-conscious vampire behind her. If Ruby hadn't been so... stupid, then the bastard probably would have gotten away! But still, she was too reckless. What if she had been hurt, or killed? How would Koln have reacted to her body blowing away in a cloud of ash, just like that other vampire?

She didn't like knowing that, while very strong, they were still so very fragile in their existence.

Pressing her lips together, she concentrated on healing her leg.



(I think this is how this works? I'll spend blood points to heal Clover's broken leg)

OOC: Basically the rules are spending one vitae heals 10 hit points of damage or two points of ability damage from a single ability. Spending two Vitae heals one point of ability drain. A severely injured vampire may have to feed several times in order to generate enough Vitae to heal herself.

Clover spends 2 bloodpoints to heal her DEX damage and heal her broken leg she now has 8 bloodpoints.

Of course Clover can't spend 2 bloodpoints at once so it'll take her about 1 minute to heal fully.

Ruby shoves the wounded vampire against the wall and says "You better start talking or you'll end up like your friend."

Vampire 3 starts to laugh and coughs up blood. The light is very dim but he looks like a young man, no older than 25. He has long hair that is so blonde it's almost white, almost like Clover's although now it is streaked with blood from an obvious head wound. His clothes look old and worn, like he's been wearing them for days. He has some nasty wounds on his face but they are starting to close up. He scoffs at Ruby "You think you can scare me? You're all done for!"

Duke hangs up his phone and puts it away "The Prince will be here soon. I hope you made out your Will motherer!"

Koln smirks at the vampire's remark, and gently places Clover down. He casually approaches him.

"Monsieur... if the angry Gangrel does not make you shake your boots, then surely the eternal flames of damnation must. And if not then, well..."

Koln puts his fingertip deep in one of the vampire's flesh wounds before it has a chance to close all the way, as Koln firmly places the mouth of his firegun right over his heart.

He speaks again, this time in a tone most unfamiliar to his friends, making his fangs perfectly clear as his eyes flash with maniacal cruelty.

"You Will Fear Me.... Now let us pray. Repeat after me..."

Koln presses his gun harder against the man's chest, and gives his finger a little painful tug.

"Heavenly Father..."

Koln waits patiently for his faithful lamb to repeat, as he wonders what other games he can play...

OOC: Koln also will use "Passion" to supplement his dice roll, whether it's successful and makes the vamp pee his pants, or fails and makes the vamp foolishly overconficent. WILL 10 + 2 + 5 = 17

OOC: Well the intimidation check certainly didn't work but let's see if he can make his Will Save.

I made a mistake and it should actually be +8 but he does make his save.

Vampire 3 continues to laugh "Kill me if you dare but you are all doomed! The sabbat will take this city from your pathetic Prince."

Duke puts a hand on Koln's shoulder, "Easy there Father. I'm sure we can get something out of this without putting him out of his misery."

The back door to the club opens and Edward comes out holding a pair of handcuffs. Not normal looking handcuffs either, they look much too heavy to be the ones used by police officers. These cuffs look like the kind you would find in a medieval dungeon, just these are made of steel. "What is the meaning of this?" Edward says walking over to Duke.

Duke says "Looks like we have a sabbat shovelhead here who wants to become famous."

Edward says "Is that so? Well let's see what he has to say. If you would excuse us Father." Edward motions for Koln to move.

Without a word Duke picks up the vampire with no effort and slams him to the ground face down, forcing his hands together behind his back. Edward snaps the cuffs onto him and Duke sits him up against the wall again. The vampire still has a smirk on his face "Oh no, so I'm your prisoner now? I guess that means I have to tell you everything!" Edward backhands the vampire across the face spraying blood against the wall. "You WILL tell us what we want to know if you want to have any chance of surviving this night!"

Lacey looks around at everyone, not seeing anyone making any moves she walks up to the handcuffed vampire mumbling about how the "talky one" should be doing this.

She stands in front of the vampire looking down at him scratching her head and then bends over looking him straight in the face "Is there something you want to tell me? C'mon, let me hear your dirty little secrets."

Lacey will use Passion as well.

Ok so Lacey's Passion worked. Vampire 3 looks noticeably nervous, beads of sweat start to form on his face which is impressive for a vampire!

Seeing his courage falter, Lacey decides to take a shot at intimidation. With inhuman speed she draws one of her guns and puts it under the vampire's chin "You know, I'm not the girl you want pointing a gun at you. They say I'm crazy, that i should be locked up! I could hallucinate, see you as a giant duck or something and blow your head off! I could also get spooked by that annoying ghost and my finger could slip....we wouldn't want that...would we?"

Ok so he's scared shitless!

Vampire 3 says "Ok fine I'll talk! I don't need my head blown off by some crazy bitch!"

Lacey smirks and says in a soft voice "I thought so." She puts the gun away and stands up straight.

"So I'm Lacey and I see you're already familiar with Ruby, she does have a way with men! Of course you know the Prince and that's his best friend in the whole wide world Duke! And the other vampires who kicked your ass, Father Koln; he's a priest, but don't worry he's not the molesty kind, just the Spanish inquisition kind! On second thought....you may want to worry! And then there's Clover and Clover is....umm" Lacey looks Clover up and down "You know, I don't know what Clover does, but she's a Clover and that's what matters!"

Turning back to Vampire 3 she says "So who are you and what the hell are you crashing the party for! Koln was really excited to see the band tonight!"

The vampire gives Lacey a look like "seriously?" but still talks in a much less confident but still aggressive tone "My name is Grivane and we were just scoping out Edward's little club here, you know for target practice. For the Prince of the city I would have expected you to have better digs man, I mean a blues club really? This is 2011 man not 1950!"

Edward's face starts to show some anger and he says "Keep talking moron, what are the sabbat doing in Denver? What rock did you decide to crawl out from under?"

Grivane laughs "Wouldn't you like to know! You have some powerful enemies Edward and your paranoia gets the better of you. The sabbat will take this city from you very soon." Edward belts Grivane across the face again.

Grivane coughs up blood again and says in a low voice "Does that mean no more questions?"

Though quiet, Clover had been silently unfurling the whip from around her waist; uncoiling it and beginning to pull it absently through her fingers, right in front of the Grivane's face. After Edward struck him a second time and he had the audacity to ask if there were any more questions, she suddenly shot him an intimidating "shut-up-mommy-and-daddy-are-talking" glare.

She tilted her head towards Edward, asking conversationally, "Wait, time out. So, what's a Sabbat? Is that some kind of cult or rival gang or something? If I haven't heard of them yet, it seems like they musn't be all that important..."

All the while she continued to finger the whip lovingly, pulling it into great lengths and loops and coiling it back up again almost as quickly.

Grivane gives Clover a sheepish look and stays silent.

Edward looks at Clover and says "The Sabbat make up the less intelligent of the kindred. They don't give a damn about the masquerade or any rules in general really. Bloodthirsty and stupid is no way to spend eternity. All you really have to know about the Sabbat at the moment is that they are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs, don't get yourself involved with them if you can avoid it."

Edward walks over Grivane and gives the sulking vampire a kick. "So Grivane, who are you working for? There's no way you're in charge, you're obviously just a grunt."

Grivane laughs weakly "Wouldn't you like to know."

Edward sighs and waves a hand to Duke "Alright Duke, he's useless. Put him out of his misery." Duke takes a step towards Grivane, his large hands reaching for Grivan'e throat. Just then there is the sound of cars speeding down the road outside the alleyway, there are gunshots and a few people screaming in terror. There is the sound of glass shattering which can presumably be from The Broadstreet's front windows. The gunshots and shattering glass are followed by some small explosions.

There is the sound of screeching tires as another car stops in front of the club and doors open. Grivane laughs and says "It looks like the cavalry is here!"

Edward turns to the group and says "Get out of here! We'll handle this, just go and get me those serums!"

OOC: I'd like everyone to roll initiative even if you don't actually end up fighting anyone.

Well, no one would have to tell Clover this twice. But as for the others...

She looked at her friends and Lacey, barking, "Well, you heard the man! Come on!" Then, as an afterthought, "And don't make me make you!"

OOC: Lacey is hurt that Clover doesn't consider her a friend!

Lacey points towards the alley where Vampire 1 ran. "To the bat mobile!"

You can hear footsteps running through the alley on the opposite side of The Broadstreet.
