Tale Weaver's Vampire: The Masquerade Game Board

[ladyphoenix]

The rats in Group 2 wander over towards Clover passing by Ruby on the way. They look up at Clover menacingly, unfortunately they don't look much friendlier than they did before.

Ruby gets an attack of opportunity and it's also her turn next so she can choose to attack the rats and still gets another move. Here is the updated map.

Ruby yelps as the impact wretchs her back and head. She slumps to the ground in surprise. Noone has ever hit her before, even her parents were against corporal punishment for crying out loud. Her old self would be in tears by now. She instead gnashed her teeth in anger. The pain subsided a little for the time being, since she had a new body that could take a few more hits. HP now at 29 from 36 (since I added the CON roll earlier in the OCC board
She now has seen Koln elbow the ugly right in the head, which didn't seem to phase the big bully.
Standing herself up, her right hand flicked open the switchblade she kept to herself earlier. Looking at the rats infront of her, she Threw them aside to her left 1d20+3 → [14,3] = (17) Throwing the rats Roll Lookup

She then jutted forward at the Hive master with an upward slash to his eyes.

Clover felt like she could cry.
Ruby being thrown against the wall upset her. Koln being so angry and violent upset her. The ugly vampire behind the rags upset her. But what upset her the most were the hundred of writhing, stinking rats encroaching on her feet, passing dangerously close to her black-stockinged legs.
It was strange; her priorities.
But really, seeing Ruby being flung so violently across the room had made her the angriest.
She found herself rejoicing ever-so-slightly when Ruby pried herself back up. The ugly vampire seemed a bit preoccupied with Koln at the moment (who was ranting and raving about how he wanted to kill the guy). But she wasn't so sure that he had dismissed Ruby entirely.
She saw a glint of silver flick up at Ruby's side, and she suddenly realized that Ruby intended to do.
'I'm not very strong, but if I could distract him for just a moment, then maybe she'd have a chance!'
Yes, a distraction.
She mustered up her courage. She hated the rats, but she had to suck it up and help her friends!
In a movement that surprised even herself, she flung herself across the room to Koln's side. He had just finished a particularly nasty comment about how he would like to sting the guy up in the street to show off his ugliness.
Clover felt venom rise in her throat, her bad temper coming to the forefront. She locked eyes with the hideous being and grinned, cocky, "I was just thinking the same thing. Bastard. Hell of a costume you have on there. Though you're so ugly, I bet you had to go trick-or-treating by phone this Halloween! Aww, did that make you mad? How about this one? You're so ugly, when you stick your head out of a car window, you get arrested for mooning! Haha, not liking this, are you?"
She heard Koln burst out laughing beside her.
'At least I seem to have his attention! Come on Ruby, we need a strong attack!'
The vampire seemed to be getting angry, though she wasn't sure.
She pushed further. Clover put hands on her hips, obnoxious (probably semi-suicidal, insulting a dangerous vampire). She stuck out her tongue, "You're so ugly, I bet you have to sneak up on mirrors! Hey! Let's try." She quickly pulled out her compact, opening it and shining it on him, "Oops, looks like there's a smudge on it... Oh no, my mistake, that's your face!" She laughed cruelly. This is insane, even for her.
'Hurry up, Ruby! Oh God, this guy's going to smash my face in for this, isn't he!?'
She couldn't help herself. She had one more. The sucker punch.
She sneered, "Hey! Here's one! You're so ugly, you should call up Webster and ask him if he wants a picture of you to put next to the definition in the dictionary!"
'Am I insane?!'

1d20+5 → [8,5] = (13)
Clover's insult bluff!

Clover's insult bluff!

Out of the corner of his eye he observes Clover get tough. This upsets him, and thinks about stepping in front of her for her protection, but after her "mooning" insult clicks, his rage-filled demeanor quickly disappeared and he brings his hands up to his mouth to stifle a chuckle. As she continues, he turns away, head in his hands, noticibly laughing at her string of insults. He then grins, and turns. "Hey, I got one! Get this.. *ahem* you are so ugly... hm... wait.. uhh.. you're so ugly... hm.. ah, you're so ugly you should just kill yourself!" Koln starts laughing at his own joke, slapping his knee and pointing insanely. "Heh, always knew I was funny guy, we should do stand-up together Clover." As he happily pats her on the back.

You can't throw the rats and attack the Hive Master in the same turn, we'll just say you attack the Hive Master as picking up the rats and throwing them wouldn't really be feasible as there are about 7 in each group. As for attacking with the knife, it's actually a lot simpler. "Exotic Weapon Proficiency" is only for uncommon weapons like a chainsaw or a rocket launcher. A knife is a typical weapon so you don't need that feat for it. You also switched the bonuses around, it's +5 to attack and +3 to damage so you end up doing 7 damage.

Ruby's strike with the knife goes right to the Hive Master's face barely missing his eyes and tracing a huge gash over his fetid skin.

The Hive Master takes another 7 damage (slashing). He's taken 14 so far.

The rats are going to go and then Clover will do her taunting on her turn.

The rats that were in the corner of the room charge at Koln, they obviously like their new chew toy!

Rats, Groups 3 & 1 Attack
1d20+5 → [13,5] = (18)
1d20+5 → [8,5] = (13)



One group manages to climb up Koln's boot and bite into his leg, the second group can't land a hit as Koln struggles to get the rats off him.

Rat Damage
1d4 → [4] = (4)


Koln takes 4 damage (piercing). He's down to 10hp.

Koln starts laughing at his own joke, slapping his knee and pointing insanely. "Heh, always knew I was funny guy, we should do stand-up together Clover." As he happily pats her on the back.

Clover walking over to Koln gives both the rats and the Hive Master an attack of opportunity.

Rats2 Attack of Opportunity
1d20+3 → [9,3] = (12)

Hive Master Attack of Opportunity
1d20+5 → [10,5] = (15)

The rats jump at Clover as she walks by them but they fall short of latching onto her legs and biting her. They sure do look like the most vicouse little creatures anyone has ever seen, you wonder just what the Hive Master does to these rats!

The Hive Master seems to sulk at Clover's harsh words, *sniff*"At leassst the ratsss love me..." he shakes his head as if snapping out of a daze. He turns to Clover and backhands her across the face "Enough of your nonsssenssse!"

Hive Master's Damage
1d4+5 → [3,5] = (8)

Clover takes 8 damage (pimp slapping).

Hmm, everyone's so close together....perfect for a throw!

Hive Master Grapple
1d20+5 → [20,5] = (25)


Ruby Grapple
1d20+5 → [17,5] = (22)



The Hive Master reaches out and grabs Ruby by the throat and slams her into Koln.

Koln Reflex Save
1d20+6 → [17,6] = (23)

As Ruby collides with Koln he rolls back tumbling with the force of the blow and takes no damage (he did get pushed back a space though putting the Hive Master out of his reach).

Hive Master's Damage
1d4+5 → [2,5] = (7)

Ruby takes 7 damage (bashing). She's taken 15 damage so far.

It's not Koln's turn. Lots of moving around, here's the map.

Koln growls, dusting himself off as he gets up. He looks back at the rat that bit him. "Did it taste good, friend? I am sorry, but I cannot let you stand in my way from helping my real friends.
Use one more blood point, 2 left I think, or one, whichever.
and if allowed, I'd like to hand Ruby one of the blood packets in this turn, figuring she might need it, and Koln can sense that Clover recently fed.
He then produces from his pocket the mighty Ceincaled, glowing with green arcade magick... or rather, his tazer. He aims at the closest rat, and sighs, cannot hurt an innocent animal, especially since they now have more in common with them than humans. He lifts his boot, the rat shrieking as if it thinks Koln's going to squash it, but he just pets its back with his heel before turning and rushing to Clover's side to get an attack on the true villain. He moves at an angle, hoping to block her from the Hivemaster as his fist comes down on his face like a hammer.

"In the name of God and all His angels, saints, and children, just fu.." Koln has to stop himself, almost let out an F-bomb, mid prayer. "Er, just die already!"

1d20+6 → [12,6] = (18) that should be fine, but if not, hm, +2 since Koln was charging.

You can't charge since you don't have a clear line from where you are to the Hive Master. You can hand Ruby a blood packet and move next to Clover but you won't be able to attack. We'll save the roll though for when you can attack If handing Ruby the blood packet is what you want to do then it would play out like this:

Koln passes Ruby one of the packets of blood he got from the bio lab as he walks behind her. Ruby feels Koln pass the bag into her hand, it is cold but Ruby knows that it will satisfy her. Koln moves next to a stunned Clover who has been recently bitch-slapped. Koln can feel the hunger build up inside him, it hounds at him making the rats look like little sausages.

Koln uses a blood point to gain 10hp. He has 2 left.

Ruby struggled in a grapple between herself and the hive master, but has found herself being once again thrown around. This time, she was flung into Koln, who felt like a stone wall as well. She was sick and tired of being the weak rag doll. Just then she felt Koln slip a cold packet in her hand. She knew right away what it was. She sadly looked upon Koln for selflessly bestowing her the gift when he needs it most himslef. He is in danger and she wants to end this once and for all! Ruby didn't want his gift to be in vein.
Ruby uses Discipline "Blood Healing" Vitae 9, HP 31
She then used "Blood Buff" -1 vitae (I think) vitae 8, +4 strength
She then attempted to throw the Hive master herself for once. (If I have enough action to do so, I'm not sure if Blood buff counts as an action)
