Vampire: Chapters, Overview, Dates/Times.

i'm not sure if i can make this or not. i won't know til sunday.

Vampire: Chapter 1b.

Well, we had a few new characters this session, and the "Maniplulator" problem has been missing this session. This chapter all happened the same night as as Chapter 1a, we left our characters in the Docks for the night, so when they awaken, they will "Hopefuly" catch up together.

New Characters:

Ysabella (Elizabeth) - A gangrel. She never spoke more than... 7? words (She shy and sorry for it guys, this is my GF I always talked about, I thought she would talk more >_< she said she would next game) She swung a sword 2 times I think though. Her abilities pertain to: Seeing in pitch black, Growing claws, hiding underground.

Jordan - Like Elizabeth, didn't speak much. He shoots a gun. (I have no idea why you didn't talk as much, maybe because we confused you with the plot. This won't happen next session because it will be alot simpler, plus, you already know the +Basics+ of combat, which should help)

Christine - She uses quick flashes of her sword to destroy all of those within range. Her mission is to turn all vampires to her path, or to have them join her in her path to total purity amongst vampires. Her abilities pertain to: Silence. Superspeed.

Hood - A bloodthirst son of a b*tch (Played by me ^_^). He as a vengance towards humanity, he follows the path of Vengence, and has no memories of being human, let alone what being "Humane" was even like. He has an accute sence of smell, but only towards human blood, he can literaly smell it a mile away, and he WILL randomly leave when he smells it to "Do away" with the smell. He loves all types of human blood, but he also has the most painful feeding a human could ask for. This isn't a natural irregularity, he just enjoys causing a human as much pain as he can before sucking them dry. His apilities pertain to: Telekinesis ^_^ (He also mentions something about fire?)

Summery:

[quote]Ysabella walks into "Club Vampire" expecting a nice time, when she notices Jordan, she walks up to him, but before she can mutter a word, they hear screaming. They turn to find 2 shady characters, one feeding grusomely from a human, the other looking away in disgust. Then, the one looking away (Names Catherine) made an anouncement, everyone in the club must turn to her path, or she will personaly slay them. Only Ysabella and Jordan agreed to follow him, Hood kept as many as he could bound in place, while Catherine finished them off, until all were slain.

They then headed towards an alleyway to kill 3 gangsters, teaching these "Less distinguished" fighters a trick or two to the trade. Afterwich, Hood smelt human blood, and imidiatly left, sooner than you could expect, a dead corpse fell of from above, followed by hood saying "Caught him"

They disposed of the bodies, then head to a nightclub, a BDSM club (Owned by Angelica) Once there, Hood got drunk off of cold human blood, then smelt something and went outside, Catherine attempted to stalk another vampire while she was working, but to no success, while Ysabella and Jordan simply enjoyed what the club had to offer (Wink wink)

2 hours passed, and hood made no return, suddenly, the front door of the club opened, and hoods head popped in "Guys... I need some help..." Catherine replied "What did you do this time... Or rather... How many did you kill this time?" Hood looked behind him before replying "About 20... Wait..." He imidiatly popped his head back out, and all was silent for several seconds, then, the door oppened and his head popped back in "Make that 21..." With a sigh of disapointment, Catherine and the rest stepped outside to clean up the boddies, before Hood could even pick up one, he smelled something, and went on his way, Catherine stuffed the bodies into little crevacises and such, while Jordan and Ysabella looked in horror, shock, and completly repulsed. Then, out of nowhere, a corspe flew off of a building into the pile. "GOT HIM! IT WAS A WEAPONS DEALER!" said hood. Hood then just opened a manhole, and threw all the rest of the boddies down there. "Ehh" he said, walking off.

"What will you do when the sewers back up?" Catherine asked, Hood replied with a mere "Ehh". They headed down to the docks on a rummer of a strong vampire Hood had heard, when they got there, it was almost sunrise, so they stayed in a warehouse till morning. All durring that day, the smell of human blood was strong to Hood, he tried to hold in his urges, but he runs off of instinct, not self-control...

(Don't worry Catherine, I didn't kill anything!.... Yet.... I am just saying, holding it in is REALY hard for Hood. Even harder for you to hold it in because he has instinct, not self-control)[/quote][/code]

[quote="CloneDark"][quote]"What will you do when the sewers back up?" [b]Catherine asked[/b], Hood replied with a mere "Ehh".[/quote][/quote]

[quote]>Ohh, well in that case. +He walks up to pick up the crushed body, and throws it into the sewers, then decdes to throw the rest down there as well+ Perfect...
>sighs, shaking her head as the wound closes "Get control over yourself. You don't think when I walked into the bar I wanted to kill each and every one of them?!"
>"Don't you think someone will notice when the sewer backs up that there are 20+ bodies down there...?"
>Hmm +Pulls out matches+ Do you think?
>"Yes, but apparently you dont"
>frowns, shaking her head with another sigh "Forget it. He won't change."[/quote]

[/nitpick]

I at least talked a little, though yes, the story did confuse me a hella lot.

And, in all fairness, I wouldn't call one of Catherine's abilities 'superspeed'. She actually possesses 0 levels of Celerity. In VtM, you can take multiple actions in one round at any time (instead of waiting for the 'BAB' to raise for you to get a second attack, in the unrealistic ways of D20 ;))

The problems with that are that for each action you take (provided you take more than one in a combat round), you get -1 to your die pool from your [i]first[/i] action. Each action after that gets a cumulative -1 die. So for instance with Christine (Dex 4, Melee 5 = 9d10) getting 3 attacks, it would be:

9d10 - 3d10 = 6d10 (1st attack)
6d10 - 1d10 = 5d10 (2nd attack)
5d10 - 1d10 = 4d10 (3rd attack)

Whereas four attacks would be:
9d10 - 4d10 = 5d10 (1st attack)
5d10 - 1d10 = 4d10 (2nd attack)
4d10 - 1d10 = 3d10 (3rd attack)
3d10 - 1d10 = 2d10 (4th attack)

One of Catherine's (hitherto unused granted) abilities is bending shadows.

Oh, and Xeio? In DnD to get three attacks you need to make six rolls (1d20 (x3), damage (x3) assuming they all hit). It's the same in VtM. Three attack rolls, and three damage rolls. The entire reasoning behind the 'extra' rolls you saw are if someone does an action they are specialized in (Christine with Swords for instance), you reroll any 10's that you get with that action (attack and damage for instance) in order to try and get 'extra' hits.
So if she rolls 2, 10, 10, 6, 8, 5 with her sword, she scored not only 4 hits, but can reroll two of those (both 10's) to try and get up to two more hits. Unless those come up 10... in which case you reroll [i]again[/i].

Any skill/attribute that is 4+ has a spec automatically. Look in the book for 'usual' specs.

Alright, my fault on the sewer thing, I was eating dinner at the time and was more or less "Skimming" what people wrote, and hence just kinda wrote "Ehh" I assumed you had celleby, because you were attacking many times in a turn, I was aware you are able to do it with penalties, I just thought you were doing them without. My fault. Also, Elizabeth's character's name is "Ysabella" not "Elizabeth". "Elizabeth" is her D&D character, I have no idea why she left it so for V:tM.

She also sends her apologies for missing most of the game, things kept coming up, and she finaly returned the second we all disconnected >_< Horible timeing, I know.

Chapter 2 is still schedualed for Thursday at 6, it has not changed.

I (Marco) will be there tomorrow. Look forward to seeing what happens when all the characters meet up.

... heh... looking forward to it?
