Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[Strider_Koln]

Koln's still pouting, "Monsieur sparkle doesn't let me have any fun! I was going to save a soul.."

 

[Tale_Weaver]

The Broadstreet

OOC: If we need a map I'll make one but otherwise we'll just roleplay this one out.

Initiative Order:
Sabbat Vampires
Ruby
Koln
Duke and Edward
Clover
Grivane
Lacey

Soon after telling everyone to run down the alleyway towards her car, Lacey starts yelling and throws her arms up defending herself against some invisible force. "No Freddy, you get away! Get away from me! This is no time for games, I'm not a pinata and I don't love you!" Lacey yells as the pipe that she dropped on the ground earlier careens into a wall behind her.

A group of four vampires round the corner behind The Broadstreet and stop by Grivane, eying Duke and Edward and drawing their guns. "This is the Prince you fools! Let's get out of here, we accomplished our mission now get me free!" Grivane yells at the vampires.

Ruby runs down the alley away from the sabbat vampires where Lacey pointed.

Koln's turn!

Updated map.

 

[Strider_Koln]

Koln takes off his hat, scratching his head confusedly.

"Mon dieu.. and they say I am crazy. They come on the Prince's turf, after we scared away Thaddeus? The Devil's logic is simply not mine to comprehend, is it mon ami?" He asks Socrates.

For a moment he seems ready to combat the Sabbat menace but, feeling guilty for before, decides to keep Clover's safety in mind. He takes her hand and heads to Ruby.

As Koln leaves with Clover Edward takes out his phone to call for backup. He hangs up and says to Duke "We better clean up these sabbat douche bags before the police get here!"

Duke doesn't say a word but lays a huge fist into the nearest sabbat vampire's face practically taking his head clean off. The others start firing their weapons at him in alarm.

Clover's turn!

 

[izillama]

Finally! Koln was showing a modicum of good sense! Happy, even, Clover allowed Koln to lead her off by the hand, all too willing to leave the Prince and Duke to their own devices and say "good riddance" to the other vampires who seemed intent on killing them.

Except...

Clover couldn't help watching Lacey in the throes of madness as Koln pulled her past the alleyway. Um... was she having some sort of Malkavian seizure or something? Would she be able to get away in time? And drat! Lacey had pointed the way out of the alley, after all. Did she even know what she was talking about? And had she just pointed them to some sort of dead end?

Suddenly, not only did Clover not want to leave Lacey behind (for guilt's sake, actually), but wanted Lacey around in case they had to blame her for pointing them the wrong way.

She pulled her hand out of Koln's and found herself running over to the ranting girl, "Ok woman, let's go!" She attempted to grab Lacey's hand and pull.

Grivane reaches wriggles his hand into a pouch on his belt underneath his jacket and produces a smoke bomb. He pulls the pin and lets it go off behind him, letting white smoke start to fill the area around him. He gets up and will try to make a run for it next turn.

Lacey jerks her hand away from Clover and screams "Get away! No, no! It's not my fault! I don't want to be dead like you!" She draws her guns at Clover.

Lacey jerks her hand away from Clover and screams "Get away! No, no! It's not my fault! I don't want to be dead like you!" She draws her guns at Clover.

Lacey lowers her weapons and flings herself against the wall of the alleyway, leaning her back against it seeming to brace herself from falling down. She puts her guns away and holds her head "Heh, it looks like he took the short bus home..." She then looks up at Clover and smiles "Oh, Clover! You came for me! I knew you wouldn't leave me!"

Lacey takes Clover's hand and pulls her behind her as she follows Koln and Ruby down the alley "This way, this way! We'll be there soon!"

When you get to the parking lot at the end of the alley you see a straggler vampire run out onto the street from the parking lot. There is a body lying on the ground in the middle of the parking lot. There aren't many cars there but Lacey's red pickup truck is parked in the back.

Koln hurries over to the dead body, patting the body's cheek, trying to revive the dead person. "Mon Dieu, open your eyes, please... Clover, Ruby, Lacey, Socrates, they got Stephen!!"

Composing himself, stifling his anger, he places Socrates on the person's chest as Koln prays for the person's soul, his voice low, cracked, and pained.

The body is horribly mangled and has obvious,wounds on it that would suggest the victim was fed upon violently before being killed.

Ruby kneels down next to Koln and says her own prayers, her hands clasped in front of her chest in amish reverence.

Lacey walks past the body entirely still dragging Clover behind her, she lets go when she sees everyone stop. "What's everyone looking at? Oh, some dead guy? Yes, the sabbat like to do that you know."

Clover shot Bern43Yo a look, still brandishing her whip, "Hey, no crossing the third wall! Can't you see there's vampires all around here? We ask that no outside mortals interfere with our masquerade. But you're free to watch." She smiled, showing her fangs a little unnervingly.

***

Clover stopped next to Lacey, crossing her arms over her chest as she stared at Koln and Ruby praying over the dead man. She gave them a moment of silence, yet she allowed her eyes to dance suspiciously around them, as though their next attacker could be ready to pounce.

Finally, she broke in, "Koln, Ruby, what's dead is dead. You've said your good-byes. We need to go before we regret it. Those guys could be on us any moment." She sounded heartless even to her own ears.
