Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tale_Weaver" data-source="post: 4938929" data-attributes="member: 77228">Live Game 9/20/2009We had our live game and here is what happened:Koln, Ruby and Clover decided how they were going to go about fooling the bank manager into letting them retrieve the contents of the lockbox that Jacob Prestor placed in the United Bank of Denver. They put Ruby's signature in a blank beneficiary slot and came up with the story that Ruby is going to play the part of Prestor's adopted daughter. Koln buys 50 rounds of .45 bullets for $20 online. They will arrive by Tuesday.The next night the group find a note on the floor from Miny it describes how Mindy met with the bank manager and set up a dinner meeting at 8pm at the Mountainview Resturant. The group gets ready to go and the 3 of them plus Mindy take a taxi to the resturant.At the resturant the group meets the bank manager Mr. Pilkersmith who looks over the paperwork and even though Clover got a horrible roll on Forgery, he accepts the signature on the paper and the story that the group gives him. He decides to drive the group to the bank and let them go through the lockbox on the condition that he himself gets to supervise. The group decides that this will certainly not do and Clover convinces him to leave the room and uses her 'Command' ability to put him to sleep. Koln and Ruby go through the box and find the following:- A deed to Prestor's now burned down house- Registration and insurance for his car.- A false birth certificate and driver's license- $10,000 in used $20 bills- A copy of Action Comics #1 in Fine condition- A box of 10 test tubes which contain liquids of various colors and consistencies, some of which have the consistency of blood. 2 of the vials have a white powder inside them.- Prestor's journals, 10 volumes written in FrenchThe group takes everything but the legal documents. Clover wakes up Pilkersmith and he checks the box's weight before putting it back in the safe. The group then decides to take a taxi over to the 24th Diocese to see if they can find Tony.The 24th Diocese is rather empty, which is not unusual for a Monday night. They ask around but fail to find any sign of Tony. Clover leaves her number with Tony's favorite girl Candy before leaving on a promise that Candy will call her if she hears anything about Tony. The group then decides to head over to a Starbucks down the street to look over their newfound treasures.On their way to Starbucks Mindy is stabbed in the back by a hunter named Grunfeld Bailey. As Mindy falls to the ground unconcious Bailey recognizes Koln and introduces himself as a free agent who was sent to Denver to assist Koln in defeating Thaddeus. He produces Koln's cross that he picked up in the alleyway outside of the 24th Diocese. Bailey sees Koln cower at the sight of te holy symbol and realizes that Koln is a vampire. He attacks the group and eventually they are victorious. Bailey's last words are "A fitting end...this must be God's will. I have killed many...some monsters...some not...all because...of vengeance. Kolnyre...do not let yourself fall down my path...Follow the path you truley believe in..."Bailey had the Bloodthirsty Firegun on him as well as 5 rounds of .45 ammo, a knife, and a stake. Koln takes the gun and ammo and Ruby takes the knife. Koln then checks Mindy to see if she is still alive and she is, in fact her wound has already begun to close. She has lost a lot of blood though so Clover uses 1 bloodpoint to feed Mindy allowing her to recover fully. Koln throws the hunter's dead body into a dumpster in the alley and the group flees the scene before the police that Clover had called earlier arrive.The group walks back to the University and brings Mindy back to her room and then they go back to Clover's room to read the journal. The journal is in French so Koln reads it and decides to scim through rather than read the whole thing. It takes him about 2 hours to get through it all.Prestor's Journal[sblock]The first entry was written on September 30, 1895: I have done it, they all think me dead. And I, Louis Pasteur, am dead. With the aid of the serum I made with Georges, I live again after a fashion, that I may seek a cure for all those similarly afflicted. But Louis Pasteur is dead, for now I shall use the name Jean Regineau. I am sure it will be the first of many."The rest of the diary contains obscure chemical references and a great deal of talk about tracking the infection, by which he means vampirism. You quickly come to understand that Prestor thinks of vampirism as simply another type of disease, and therefore something that can be cured.After about 5 years, the diaries begin to mention that Prestor fears some force is attempting to stop his research. Shortly after, Prestor makes the first reference to 'He', a reference that shows up regularly in the diaries from there. Always 'He' is bedeviling Prestor, interrupting his research, even on occasion attacking him via agents, but never allowing Himself to be seen by Prestor.There are also continual comments made about Georges and the research that they did together, although there is no mention of encountering Georges again in unlife.The diaries mention a name change to Jacob Prestor as well as a relocation 2 years ago from his base in Boston to Pennsylvania where he describes embracing Ruby and then being forced to flee soon after because 'He' burns down Prestor's house hoping to catch him in the blaze. Prestor says he fled to Denver after that.As the last 6 months or so of entries approach, Prestor makes mention of Roger Liverman, a biochemist in the University of Denver he hired to aid in performing some analyses for him. Liverman, he notes, has access to facilities and equipment that he, Prestor, does not.In more recent sections, there is a commentary about how Prestor felt that he needed allies, and how he chose to focus on Kolnyre, a vampire hunter from the Vatican. He agonized over the decision, but his conviction that it was only temporary soothed him somewhat. He gives reasons for selecting Koln based on his knowlege of vampires and his devoutness to duty. It is not until the last entry that he commits himself to Koln's transformation.The last entry is dated 1 week before the fire, and reads "I am certain 'He' has followed me again. I require help and can delay no longer. I hope they will forgive me, but it is of the highest importance, and I have no choice."[/sblock] The group got the Achievement: Hunting the Hunter (worth 2xp) as well as the Achievement: Old School Tactic (worth 1xp). The group also recieved 3xp for completing another chapter.</blockquote>
