Will be posting today. Work has been busy for me lately and I have been up at 4 or 5 am every day so at night I am getting sleepy in my old age... :-)


Shadow's Status

Work sucked today. Updates tomorrow:-(

We are 3 days away from this game being 8 years running. Was hoping to be a bit farther along at this point this year but life has become... a bit too interesting lately.

Everyone earns 8 XP.

I am going to endeavor to post more here than I have the last 4 to 6 weeks. Lot of heavy RL drama playing out on my end.

Yay @ XP. Just to remind you - there's still a spending ban in effect if I remember correctly?(and unless I missed something)

Yes still in effect but does not mean you cannot GAIN XP :-)

Aye, but I remember one time you wondered why nobody was spending any XP despite several individuals having saved up a reasonable number - just figured I'll remind you that there's a reason :)

Apologies on the radio silence on my end. This has been one of those rare moments when I have decided that Vitaliano needs to shut up.

He has made some voicing earlier but with it moving on to actually choosing of justicars, it seems a good place for him to be quiet. He is after all, mostly an observer for the council as he himself was not chosen but his sire.

I think Sadir, Michele and Alyssa know all that. Talisman told us.

Sadir knows a LOT.

Alyssa knows what Alessandro told her which is I believe everything.

Michele on the other hand likely did NOT know all of that... :-)

Well then, I stand corrected! :-)

Does "act" include speech? Or do you mean bodily tactical movement?

Act is bodily tactical movement.

If you fail, you can still interact.

Sorry, will try to post tomorrow. RL frustrating things

Oh well, let's see if this gets my Toreador staked. *Knock on non pointy wood*


Shadow's Status

How is everyone doing out there?


Shadow's Status

In light of the mad mad world we live in today, I will be lifting my strictness on posting delays. Post when you can and things will move along, eventually :-)

Is the Willpower expendature needed to physically act, act against Talisman or speak as well?

To act.

You can speak freely.


Shadow's Status

I will respond to the Conclave scene tomorrow, want to consider where I want to go next with it! :-)


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

Tenuous at best, but Alessandro does have a high Charisma 4 (Urbane) and the Natural Leader merit, if it matters for anything.

Either calling Sebastian forth or influencing the knights/hunters.

Empathy/Expression are a 2.


Shadow's Status

I believe this is the 3rd or 4th combat we have had in lo so many years. Should be interesting...


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

Alessandro is held there, but just needs to spend a Willpower to act, correct? No additional check.

Correct.


Clan Malkavian Blood Pool 19/30

I feel like I've been on the sidelines for some time now, I'm hoping to Sunday start looking everything over and making sure to interject where needed!

Also, apologies for being quiet, as I said before, this was more stuff that was not of my clan's input and also not much that a fledgling without his Sire close by could speak up courageously (Or maybe the Sire is just incredibly quiet atm, all the same.)

Your Sire just spoke up but he's been quiet :-)


Shadow's Status

There is a post up for the Elysium folks - Franz, Lorenzo, Vitaliano and Onfroi.

I will give it a few more days and if none of you jump in I will move it along.


Shadow's Status

As I am not sure whether Savio is still with us, I will be bringing in a new PC. Someone I have known for some time. Savio is still in, let's hope he jumps back into gameplay at some point.

How come you only rolled 1d7?! Eeek!

Well, at least you are not frozen! FYI. You can pump Stamina for extra soaking dice if you so choose.


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

Sorry I'm flaking guys... this seems like a no win situation and I'm used to the players/PCs being on the same side.

It's like when you play Risk and realize no matter what you do... you lose.

You are not necessarily on opposite sides, yet.

Do the extra soak when you have a moment, I am going to move on to the next round tonight.

What's the mechanic for an extra soak?

You would spend 3 blood points to pump your Stamina to 6 and roll. I stated that you could so I was not sure if you missed that post so I am giving you the option.

Update tomorrow.


Shadow's Status

Update to the Elysium scene tomorrow.


Male Ventrue 8 Generation 14/15 BP

Aye, catching up now.


Shadow's Status

updates tonight (late) or tomorrow.

Are any cainites or carnies helping fight Talisman, any direction from Alyssa?

No, all Mortals. Alyssa is held in check by Presence. The PCs are the stars though Michele did something drastic last round...


Male Nosferatu 6th Generation; BP 28/30, xp saved: 0, spent 155

Drastic... That's one word for it


Male Ventrue 8 Generation 14/15 BP

That said, I am here, but waiting for more reactions. Franz is probably utterly confused right now. He FEELS they should wait, if only because he wants to learn more about what took place, but at the asme time, has not understanding/cconcept idea of what just took place.
So he'll go with the majority there...

Everyone is your enemy, everyone is your friend. Every possible series of events is happening all at once. Live that way and nothing will surprise you. Everything that happens will be something that you've seen before. Game of Thrones, Little Finger

Shadow's Status

I am bringing in a new Lasombra character to replace Savio just an FYI as he has not responded to a few PMs over the past two months.


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

Is Sadir nurturing or making sure she is dead?


Shadow's Status

It's not clear exactly what the hell he is doing, he seems pretty conflicted. He says to kill her but cannot bring himself to actually do it.


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

Would like to use Celerity for additional attack/action and Potence for additional damage. Expend blood points to Addie she's destroyed. What do I roll?


Shadow's Status

Disciplines

Note that all the systems for Disciplines are still in the original Campaign Info Tab.
