Well, I usually try to keep my instigating combat before checking with the party to a minimum, and I did it recently in another game, so I'm gonna check in here with you guys before doing anything... rash.
In-character, though, Roy's definitely thinking Maria's gone off the deep end at this point. She's a liability at best, and especially with that last line, she's essentially an outright threat. Much as I hate to say it, she might need put down if we're gonna save the townsfolk (although it'll suck to have to explain to her daughter that we popped her mom for trying to save her... moral quandaries, here we come).
But, what's everyone else thinking?

I'm trying a Diplomacy. Hopefully that works. Otherwise, we're probably going to have to take her out.

I wasn't poking fun at you or the game, just trying to make wise cracks where I can (because of the character's personality). I don't need any new items to help me enjoy the game more :).
But gun's don't need to be magical... Maybe a magical clip that doesn't require reloading. Or special ammunition that explodes on hit. Or a scope that provides an accuracy bonus because of an enchanted lens.

Vampire facts for this game:
Vampires cannot tolerate the strong odor of garlic and will not enter an area laced with it. Similarly, they recoil from mirrors or strongly presented holy symbols. These things don't harm the vampire—they merely keep it at bay. A recoiling vampire must stay at least 5 feet away from the mirror or holy symbol and cannot touch or make melee attacks against that creature. Holding a vampire at bay takes a standard action. After 1 round, a vampire can overcome its revulsion of the object and function normally each round it makes a DC 25 Will save.
Vampires cannot enter a private home or dwelling unless invited in by someone with the authority to do so.
Reducing a vampire's hit points to 0 or lower incapacitates it but doesn't always destroy it. However, certain attacks can slay vampires.
Exposing any vampire to direct sunlight staggers it on the first round of exposure and destroys it utterly on the second consecutive round of exposure if it does not escape.
Each round of immersion in running water inflicts damage on a vampire equal to one-third of its maximum hit points—a vampire reduced to 0 hit points in this manner is destroyed.
Driving a wooden stake through a helpless vampire's heart instantly slays it (this is a full-round action). However, it returns to life if the stake is removed, unless the head is also severed and anointed with holy water.
A vampire casts no shadows and shows no reflection in a mirror.
Vampire are resistant to normal attacks unless the weapon (or bullets) are made of silver.

Alright, I've compiled a spreadsheet of what we've found so far. I'm sure this isn't totally accurate, but it's reasonably close. DireMerc, please let me know if I've missed anything glaring, and if people are already claiming or using certain weapons, let me know.

So, any thoughts so far on what's what as far as our personal arsenal goes?
Right now Roy's using the Python, and although the masterwork Hardballer is objectively a better choice, for now I think he'll stick with the revolver. Likewise with the Enfield--I haven't really claimed anything at this point, but I'd like to have a long-range option, and the Enfield's a good one. But that still leaves us with plenty of other weapons sitting in our trunks...
If no one else minds, I think Roy will also take one of the pairs of night-vision goggles. I could potentially take the shield, too, since Roy uses his Python a lot.

Everyone gets a vampire slayer's kit.
This kit is specially tailored for dealing with undead bloodsuckers. Because not all vampires are vulnerable to the same things the kit covers a variety of possibilities. The kit contains the following items: 5 wooden stakes, Mossberg shotgun, 5 white phosphorous shotgun shells, silver holy symbols (various faiths), hand crossbow, 5 bolts with wooden tips, small metal mirror, garlic clove necklace. All this is packaged in an aluminum travel case.
You also get 2 clips of every weapon you have of both silver and white phosphorous rounds.
You also get a bulletproof vest if you want.

One of them are called "daylight flares"

Is this how it works in your home game
That's how the rules say it but I want to ask about your home game.

Hey everybody,
This is a message I'm putting up in most of the games I'm in here on the forums. I feel bad about having to do this, but I'm dropping many of the games I'm in on here--pretty much everything that's been moving at a good clip. Life's become very hectic lately, and I don't see things calming down any time soon. Between everything that's been happening, my focus has been spent elsewhere, and I'm just not able to put in the time and effort to keep up with play-by-post right now.
I've enjoyed all the games I've been in here, and it's a lot of fun. You all put it in a ton of effort and excitement, and I'd love to do the same, but right now I'm not able to do that on a regular basis. It would be unfair of me to keep going dark for days or weeks at a time, but I don't think I'll be able to avoid that for a while, and I need to focus on other things right now. I'm really sorry about having to do this, but life has reared its ugly head, and I hope you all understand.
Again, I've enjoyed my time with you all, and hope that you continue to have great gaming in the future. I look forward to the day when I can return to these boards and join new games, and maybe even play with some of you again. But for now, I have to part ways from you all.

I case your not aware I have a lot of stuff going on at the moment. I will try to keep up with posting but I've been offered a new position in Hamburg germany that I have decided to take.
I currently live in canada and I never left the country before and I'm going there for several years so I have a lot of stuff to sort out.

Good luck, man. And congratulations.
