[sblock=OOC]Sorry, Diego's finishing move completely distracted me.

This game is so swingy. It's cool b/c you're all vampires and basically anything can happen and you'll be fine, but it'd be pretty gritty for other groups.

Anyway, Beth saw Archer down in the shaft, then saw him slip down and heard the conversation so far. She can either come down and stay up, or whatever you like.
Climbing with the idol is awkward but not a serious thing.[/sblock]

[sblock=Deigo's condition]Diego is fine. Technically part of his torso isn't quite as attached as he'd like, but he's functional, and since he's a vampire he'll stay that way.

But he's only got 6 vitae, so if he heals he'll be at 5.
5 Vitae = hungry
hungry, as I'm sure everyone remembers, means "sight of blood causes Wassail (hunger frenzy) check"
Lotsa blood around.

Just mentioning it.

The woman grudgingly releases the blood soaked package to Cole. It's wrapped in thick paper. Maybe the size of an encyclopedia.

Diego said:
Woman, tell me who you are and why you are here."
She cautiously raises her eyes. Her lips purse, in obvious pain she says "No... engrish..."
 

Diego nods, and motions for her to stay where she is. "I know broken spanish, anyone know a fluent language?" He looks down at his torn body, "Bastard got me good. I need ......... food, and soon I think."



ooc: I don't know off the top of my head what is required (if anything) to speak another language. I would assume Diego would know at least some Spanish (hence the name)
 

[sblock=The language she's speaking]Isn't Spanish.
You buy "speaking languages", I think it's one skill dot per language.

I'd make an academics check, probably with some sort of penalty to try to identify a language. [/sblock]
 


Cole Braddock

OOC: There is no 'Speak languages' Skill on the Vt:R character sheet...... is there?


Carefully, Cole unwrapes the book sized object and sets it on the nearest counter. With a delicate hand he inspects what is inside. "Mr. Archer, would you mind searching Mr. Diego's newest master piece. It might contain some useful information."


OOC: Does Cole know what language she is speaking.
 

Diego shakes his head, language barriers sucked. "Diego." he said pointing to himself. He tilts his head slightly to the side, furrowing his eyebrows as he points to the woman. Seemingly asking her what her name is. "Perhaps....... we should take her to Nice. I would like to take the package to the Nosferatu, since they seem to have the ability to scrounge up information from anywhere."
 

Beth slips back into the room through trap door, bearing a big roughly covered rock.

From the shouts during the fight Cole didn't really pick up any words he's heard. From his travels on the continent he's encountered a smattering of different languages but nothing really comes to mind.

Inside the package is a book, it looks old. There is a looping gold script on the leather cover.

The woman's eyes flair when she sees the idol but otherwise she stays where she is.
 

Archer looked awkward when the subject of languages was brought up. Mandarin would have been useful at this point if he'd bothered keeping his skills sharp, it was a fairly common language throughout Southeast Asia. That said though, he doubted the odds of these particular folks being too familiar with it.

"I'd recommend Mandarin, if anyone knows it," rusty gears grinded within Archer's head, refusing to budge an inch.

It would take a bit of time and effort to dig up what was lost inside his head to negligence, something he'd have to do eventually.

Something Archer felt confident about.

"With pleasure, Cole," and he moves over to carefully review the book's contents.
