[VtR][Mature] Born into Darkness: Arc 1

[Bloodweaver1]

Cole Braddock

In his line of work one often frequently encounters what he often called 'hositile negotiations'. After a while one gets use to it. At that point nothing really surprises you and you can react calmly and according. Such as Cole. He emmites a cool and collective arua as the choas around him unfolds and with steady hand, he moves back towards the door and looks for a light switch.

Upon seeing the knife Beth reacts almost instinctively, darting into the darkened room and snatching up the closest one.

ooc: Beth will activate Celerity*, then make her move--which should be damn quick, at least to the human.

[sblock=OOC]Thanks for your responses. Just waiting on Archer now.[/sblock]

Diego failed his freakin M.C. roll lol. I may not use it again with such a crappy dice pool.

M.C. on stabby guy (3d10=18) [/sblock]

 

[Festy_Dog]

Being unarmed Archer steps out of the way and allows by those with a plan of action.

"I'm not much use without a gun in hand," he shrugs apologetically and looks into the store for a fire extinguisher.

[sblock=Doesn't somebody have the holdout?]Thought Archer had the hold out, from when Cole gave it to him.
Anyway, somebody ought to.

Not that I mean you should have it for this scene, or use it, or anything, but somebody should have it. It seems improbable that the group left it somewhere, no?

The vital importance of the acquisition of weapons had been a thrust of the groups activities tonight, to my recollection anyway.

Biggs has the shotgun in the car, of course.

Cole, standing near the doorway, and slips his hand out and flips on the lightswitch.

The sudden light is dazzling to everyone. Both Archer and Beth react quickly enough to turn down their Auspex before they're incapacitated.

Beth vaguely hears Archer say something as she vaults through the doorway and onto the table, snatching the knife in one fluid motion She's balanced on top of the small table, a thick carving knife in hand as the Primitive Slasher scuttles along the ceiling trying to get past her and deeper into the shop.

[sblock=OOC]He's not past you yet. He's fast, but he's climbing along a ceiling, and he's just mortal (or at least he's doesn't have celerity).

From the floor, without being on the table, he'd be tricky to reach without jumping. Being on the table this won't be an issue for Beth.[/sblock]

Diego wrenches the knife out of his throat.
There's something green and vile looking on the blade. The handle is made of bone.

The thief tries to reach down and pull out his beast and push it through his eyes, but it won't cooperate. Instead of pushing through his eyes he feels his fangs extending. He could swear he heard a snarling voice, demanding the creatures blood.
[sblock=MC dice pool]-With- the caviate that it's lower than it has to be 3 dice gives you a 65% chance of getting a success (without considering 10-again).

It's not terrible. If I were a player in your situation I might very well have considered using it as well.

You'll have a chance to spend some xp soon though.

[/sblock]

[sblock=Fire extinguisher]Despite being made almost entirely of wood the shop doesn't seem to have an extinguisher any place Archer can see.[/sblock]

[sblock=Next Round]Please declare actions. Remember that you have lots of willpower points available.[/sblock]

 

[industrygothica]

Beth sidesteps on the table as necessary to ensure that she's in the guy's path as he tries to pass her. She maintains eye-contact with him if she can, trying to stare him down, and will attack with the knife when the opportunity presents itself.

ooc: keeping celerity active, and spending a willpower point on the attack if it happens.

 

[OnlytheStrong]

Diego shrugs when he realizes he can't pull the beast out this time, and reverts back to his prison days. He moves barely into the room, and throws the same knife that stabbed him back at the man.

[sblock=action]
Thrown knife attack (1d10=10, 1d10=9, 1d10=10, 1d10=1, 1d10=9, 1d10=1)
4 success, 2-10's

Cole Braddock

Not too sure if this is possible but can he use Dominate * to command the creatures attention and then use Dominate ** make him stop? If so then that is what he will do. If not then he will attempt to move to the back of the room to prevent the assailant from escaping.

OOC: I Believe Cole gave the pistol to Arcs, if not then we can presume that he still has it.

 

[Festy_Dog]

[sblock=ooc]Archer gave the holdout to Cole here, when he didn't expect to be fighting his way into the store himself.[/sblock]

With their assailant scuttling towards the back of the room Archer moves into the store and looks for a fire extinguisher behind the counter.

"This is far from ideal. Far from ideal," he mutters.
