One is either in charge, or he is not, there can be no in between".Storyteller Shadow (alias of Dennis Harry)2021-11-07T23:58:27ZRe: Forums: Play-by-Post: Venice by Night - V20 Vampire the Dark AgesLorenzo Cappelli (alias of Talomyr)https://paizo.com/campaigns/v5748p75ivkqm/gameplay&page=33#16052021-11-06T00:53:11Z2021-11-06T00:53:11Z<p><b>Venice by Night - Wednesday - April 2, 1309</p>
