Vampire: The Masquerade - Who Wants To Live Forever?

[Tale_Weaver]

Meredith glances back at Clover, "Just because I don't have a death wish does not mean I'm a lady." Meredith rips the broken nail piece off her claw and tries kicking the door again.


Meredith's strength check #2


1d20+4 → [3,4] = (7)

Needless to say Meredith fails to kick down the door with the second kick as well. Lacey laughs at the bickering "Looks like you need a manicure Wild Meredith! Why don't you let me look at the door. Doors and me get along like houses and fires!"

Lacey walks over to the door and takes a look at it.

Lacey Search Check

1d20+7 → [9,7] = (16)

Lacey says "Ah yes, this is a tough one, but I think I know how to open it." Lacey simply turns the knob and the door creaks open.

Behind the door is a large open parlor. As soon as you enter an uncomfortable heat engulfs you, uncomfortable even in your undead state. A human would probably be sweating. The source of the heat and the rippling orange light that fills the room is a large fireplace set in the center of the room. The roaring, snapping, and hissing of the inferno that fills it seems unnaturally like the spectral whispers one hears in a dream.

Apart from the fire there is little else in the room aside from six clusters of chairs each centered around a small wooden coffee table. One of the tables has what looks like an old tape recorder sitting on it. The arrangement looks like it was intended to break up a large assembly into smaller groups. Paintings are evenly spaced along the walls, each depicting tranquil land and seascapes.

Milling about the room are three figures in black cloaks, their backs all to you. Apparently they haven't noticed you as they seem to be tidying up the room, one even has a little duster and is running it along some of the paintings.

OOC: I never said the door was locked If this were Jim's game Meredith would be half dead by now from all the failed rolls! (just kidding!) Anyway, look at the virtual tabletop to see the updated map.

Meredith whispers to Lacey, "I knew it probably wasn't locked I was just trying to give the element of surprise but bursting it open but apparently there was no need as these three haven't even noticed all of the rukus." Meredith slowly moves around the door jam and into the room staying along the wall.

Clover shot Meredith an impatient look that said, "Yeah, right." Then, she began mumbling under her breath, "Great, and now we get to deal with crazy cultists. As if the crazy Malkavians weren't enough..."

She watched Meredith begin to slink along the wall and began to formulate a plan. Smiling mischievously, she crooked her finger at the Gangrel, whispering softly yet firmly, "Heel. Let's give them hell, Meredith." Her lavender eyes flashed in anticipation.

"I must tend to my flock..."

Koln boldly steps in front, with the open pill bottle in his hand, and loudly begins the rite Communion.

"Mes frères et sœurs,
This is ze Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world,
Happy are those who are called to this Supper."

"Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the Word, and I SHALL be HEALED!"

"Amen!"

"Amen!"

Meredith moves along the. Left wall until she reaches the part of the room next to the fire. After hearing Koln speak she stops and looks to the cultists to see if they notice.

Clover face-palmed inwardly, quietly speaking through gritted teeth, "And tomorrow's lesson will be in subtlety and the meaning of the word heel. Morons."

OOC: Have the crazy cultists turned out way YET? (before some members of our group get us killed...)

When Meredith moves one of the hooded figures takes notice. He stops dusting the shelves and turns to see Meredith. A shock of surprise comes over Meredith when she sees that the hooded figure's face is covered by a white mask. The mask has holes for the eyes, a little bump for the nose with 2 holes on the bottom and a slit for the mouth. The eyes and mouth are shaped into a jeering sort of smile that comes off as nothing short of creepy.

The man behind the mask says "Please miss. All guests are to be seated. Can we get you anything? Tea perhaps?" He gestures at one of the chairs. He notices Clover and Lacey who steps into the room behind her after hearing the man speak. He gestures for the two of them to sit as well. Lacey whispers to Clover "The pawns guard the king on the black square. I do not think they know their master is gone."

The other robed figures keep on cleaning the room although they did turn momentarily to see the new guests when the other one spoke.

"No tea, but thank you." Meredith says to the figure. Meredith looks at Lacey and Clover and goes to sit at the table nearest her but than notices the tape recorder and decides to sit at that table instead. Avoiding the fire, she walks around the back of the room passing Lacey and Clover, shrugging at them as shes goes. She than sits directly across from the tape recorder so that she can see the door in front of her and the fire at the same time. Meredith eyes the tape recorder, trying to see if it is on.

The tape recorder is not on but there is an unmarked tape inside.

Father Koln sighs. "Well.. it looks like we have to do things ze hard way, no?"

He stands there, deciding which cultist to offer the Body of Christ to first.

What does the pill bottle say? Also, using Spirit's Touch on it.
