Do you have to activate celerity at the beginning of turn or can it be done as needed?
Should really be activated on your turn each round, otherwise I'm not sure if you'll have more actions to account for or not. I responded in thread with damage rolls for you to make :)
Edited the post, 6 successes with Potence.
No celerity if fine. I'll deal with the consequences. Conserving blood.

OK!
This combat has the best rolls I've ever had running Vampire, ever.

Geoffroi, you are now on the 48 hour clock as Round 3 is winding down.

Hah. Fended off both a Gangrel and three lawyers concurrently! Huzzah!

Hah! That's my line, ask Michele...
Some of them WERE in your favor :)

OBJECTION!
Round 3 Recap -
Ranerius went down, but he's not quite out yet - I posted your "decision tree" for Round 4 I/C.
Giovanni is down, I'm about to remove him from the "board".
Michele is down, and it looks like his Cousin Marco, if not stopped, may finish him off as he's mid-Frenzy.
Dunstan is fresh and Lorenzo knows that his power just expired last round so he's back at full strength.
Lorenzo is on fire but managing that pretty well so far!
Geoffroi and Cantor are dueling, so far, Geoffroi is getting the better of the Gangrel.
Gunther and Andrew exchanged nasty blows, with Gunther having the advantage. So Andrew is down, but he's not quite out yet.
Nicolo and Onfroi are probably going to duel as well, Onfroi goes first and will probably bring Nicolo down.
Alessandro stands alone on the field and is probably best suited to "rescue" Michele.
Start of Round 4, Bassanio just exited stage left via Celerity, so his surrender is quite real!

I hope you are all finding this Finale as Epic as I am folks!
Ranerius, you are once again on the 48 hour clock!
May not like the answer but what Generation is Dunstan, 7th?
And when say "fresh" you mean 100%?

Dunstan is 5th.
Fresh as in one maybe two damage so far this combat.
Lorenzo and Alessandro are now on the 48 hour clock!
How many attacks could I get on Nic(c)olo?
How many attacks could I get on Nic(c)olo?
Onfroi goes before Nicolo.
Marco is currently in position to deal the Final Death to Michele.
You could get two attacks (your max essentially with Celerity 1 without splitting your dice pool which should only really be done in desperation) on Nicolo OR on Marco. If you look at the map you are equal distance from either one.
Tactically, I may be more effective against Nicolo. I feel my attacks would be wasted against Marco.
Conversely, Onfroi shouldn't "waste" his attacks (being more powerful) against an nearly downed enemy. Additionally, story-wise he should be the reason for Nicolo's demise.
Celerity is 2, not 1.
Is that 8 successes and 4 successes? +4d10 & +2d10 for damage?
I'm uncertain when/where 10s count twice.

Marco was Embraced 30 minutes ago, he's absolutely the weakest character on the field.
Also unless you behead him, your sword cannot kill Nicolo, drive him into Torpor sure, but not kill him. Vampires are made of sterner stuff than that!

Ah, 1 Potence 2 Celerity! I see now.
10s count twice on the attack because you have a 4 Dexterity & a 5 Melee.
They don't count twice on damage because you only have a 3 strength.
The game gets wrapped up in whether your "specialty" at a 4 or 5 applies to an action being taken, I don't like the rules to be THAT subjective where one could argue that a specialty should allow for 10s to count twice, instead I just take the position that in any given challenge where you have a 4 or above on a stat, you have sufficient mastery to allow for 10s to count twice.
Attack #1 - 8 successes = 3 to hit and +5d10 to damage.
Attack #2 - 4 successes = 4 to hit and +1d10 to damage.
Are you saving your third action for a potential Dodge or Parry later in the round?

And, here I was thinking that was Alessandro's claim!
I figured he was Brujah (physical) and a generation more powerful that Alessandro. Our poor merchant prince would just get pummeled.
Also, since Alessanfro isn't flashy or uber in any way... trying to RP more. I get the rivalry between Onfroi and Nicolo, but maybe Alessandro is trying to show a "friend" that it's OK to let go.
It's the game within the game within my mind (and perhaps my mind alone).

I would actually attack a 3rd time, trying to end it quickly.
I rolled the 3rd attack.

Oh Marco's ripe pickins for good eatins for Alessandro that's for sure! You chomp down on him via Diablerie you'll be 6th, pick up a dot of Potence and almost ZERO chance of a soul shard as he's not been around long enough nor was a Mortal of force of personality enough to try and attach himself to YOUR soul. Diablerizing more powerful snacks gets you more goodies but more risk of a soul shard - its a Risk Reward issue. If the Coterie wins, Michele is going to behead him anyway. Diablerie DOES auto reduce your Humanity by a dot though, no way around that.
If Marco was 6th and Embraced the same time as the rest of you, he might have that generational advantage, but not one that's a guarantee of being "smashed".
Now a 6th Generation Elder, that's a different story!
From a roleplaying perspective it certainly makes sense. If you bring down Nicolo, Onfroi can argue he turned the other cheek when Nicolo kept coming after him i.e. Onfroi has no vendetta against the brood of Simon.
Let me fix what I posted earlier as I made a damned mistake:
Attack #1 - 8 successes = 3 to hit giving +5d10 to damage.
Attack #2 - 4 successes = 3 to hit giving +1d10 to damage.
---
OK, Attack #3 - 9 successes = 3 to hit giving +6d10 to damage.
Just need to know damage for Attack #3.

Exactly!
As it turns out Alessandro, you actually CAN behead Nicolo, if you so choose.

Michele, you are on the 48 hour clock, we discussed options last night, the ONLY sources of available blood at the moment are Lydia and Giovanni.
Does Nicolo being incapacitated mean certain final death? If not beheaded...
Would Alessandro need to give him a blood point to assure his survival? He's a diplomat and peace-broker, not a butcher.
Earlier in the story, he'd approached the Nosferatu trying to broker an alliance.
Also, are these individuals essentially anarchs? Or are they representing their clans and acting on behalf of clan factions?
Technically, is Alessandro Justicar in Venice... dotted line speaking for his grandsire, Mithras?

No, he's currently IN Torpor as you beat him senseless. But that's not Final Death, beheading is Final Death.
No, he'll survive, though ONLY Lord Bion can wake him at the moment (unless Lorenzo has that Necromancy power, I don't recall). His time in torpor is based on his Humanity. Of course, you will have to take him WITH you assuming you all win. Don't want to leave him here for the Humans to find!
Ah yes, then you absolutely don't want to butcher him. I just need to give you options as the ST.
Anarchs? What are Anarchs? [They don't exist yet]. You don't know who these guys are acting on behalf outside of what they said in the "parley" before combat began.
You could make that argument, whether anyone buys it is another matter altogether. Archons aren't a thing, yet.
Geoffroi, you are on the 48 hour clock!
This is getting intense... <<< Link
First thought as I considered Andrew and Gunther losing it... and Alessandro's reaction.
thank you all for saving my ......for now
Geoffroi has a few more rolls/decisions to make at the end of Round 4.
Dunstan still has to act, but he is waiting to see how the Geoffroi vs. Cantor confrontation ends.
Michele has held and still gets to act, HE is waiting to see what Dunstan does!
Onfroi has one remaining action left.
Once that is all done, we are at the end of Round 4.
I'll give a recap once everything plays out! I get the sense that Round 5 maybe 6 will see the end of our confrontation...
Round 4 is nearly complete.
Michele, as this is mission critical, I will let YOU handle the rolls yourself. Dunstan has no bullets left in his gun, you are the last to go.
Onfroi is now down, he probably has blood left,, but he's down.
the Foes: Dunstan (barely touched but hampered by Lorenzo's power). Gunther and Cantor (who is in frenzy) are both up but injured. The two Salubri are dueling with them.
the Friends: Ranerius is up, at 2 Aggravated Wound Levels.
Lorenzo is up and has ZERO damage.
Alessandro is up (I believe you are also uninjured correct?).
[As noted, both Salubri are up but tied up].
Michele, may be able to be up, it's not clear.
Onfroi, may be able to be up, its not clear.
---
This means that it's likely up to Alessandro, Lorenzo, and Ranerius to take Dunstan down!
I believe unharmed. We had that back and forth, but you judged no damage. If there was damage it was just 1.
I will reiterate my previous sentiment... LOL Run AWAY!
Can Alessandro reach Cantor and get 3 attacks, as he had on Nicolo? He seems to have an angle... (straight path).

You can but Geoffroi is essentially rocking the same abilities as you...
You can certainly flee as well but Dunstan will finish off Lydia and Michele, and Onfroi and then seek you guys out. This is your best bet to beat him now. It's 3 on 1!
Ranerius, you are on the 48 hour clock!
I removed from the Initiative counter, the characters that are 100% no longer in the fight.
