Nothing specific in mind. I can call it a night.

Fun RP though!

Absolutely. Xing is not much of a talker, you need to draw her out! Feel free to keep RPing with her until the Coterie settles for the night, that's fine by me.

Giving Ranerius one more day to decide if he wishes to read the mind of those poor souls.

Apologies, house repairs and family drama. Hopefully it will be over by Wednesday

No worries.

Family in town. Posting will be spotty at best until Sunday evening.

@ Alessandro - I believe we can wrap this night for you. Take 1 XP.

@ the rest of the group, I will update today or tomorrow.

@ Geoffroi, will try and address some of the aged open stuff or your character this weekend.

no hurry. It's my fault that I was AWOL for so long

Yeah, that didn't happen yet... :-(

That's the most legendary botch I've ever seen in Vampire...

I know, right? I almost want a cookie or something.

Ah well, if Ranerius dies horribly because of this, at least I can say it was the most Toreador way to go


Shadow's Status

That is the third botch in a row, but at least this one is helpful!

Let's see what Heoffroi does. Ramerius is tripped up!

Geoffroi:
You actually made those rolls a while back (May 12, 2023 to be precise), here were the results:

Vampire Politics - 1 success. Despite your limited time as an "immortal" you are well familiar with intrigue from your time as a Templar. The attacks on the Inns where the Cainites slept was too well planned, they likely had that information for days! Creatures who have hidden from Mortal eyes for all (or most) of Human history could not have been so sloppy to reveal twelve separate locations, someone is a rat...
Mortal Politics - 0 successes.

Lasombra Politics - 0 successes.

I know the second set was better but have to go with the first.

No successes on Perception+Academics. You will need more time with the Book or you will need help to read it. My initial thought is that Geoffroi would probably want to put the time in first before reaching out for help considering where the pilfered it from!


Shadow's Status

Note that the Coterie does not HAVE to fight the writhing mass, it appears to be stationary. But, you all assume that it's current assignment, if not its greater purpose, is to retain possession of Lord Kestral.


Salubri | 6th Gen | BP 30/30 | WP 5/5

SS:
No worries on the rolls. Yes, Geoffroi will work on the book over time. He is a scholar of the occult, so I assume he will want some uninterrupted time with it, possibly in a library where he can consult other books for reference.

I can say now that Geoffroi will not suffer that thing to live


Shadow's Status

Lorenzo:
I assume you could throw that glob of disintegrating goo if you wish!

Make a Dexterity+Athletics roll DC 7 - 1 success to try and dissolve the main tentacle which is inserted into his neck.

If you so choose anyway.

** spoiler omitted **

Post edited to include the throw and apparently Lorenzo is doing his best Greg Maddux impersonation with the controlled throw.


Shadow's Status

Alessandro, I will be wrapping up this night with the rest of the coterie soon and you will be back in action!


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

Thanks but, no worries... I don't trust V:tM mechanics :)


Shadow's Status

After you feed or wake, or do not wake Kestral, I would like to end the night, so essentially by next Friday at the latest I want to advance us.

This will bring Alessandro into contact with the rest of the group and we can (finally) advance the plot to a confrontation with the Inquisition and their Vampiric Ally Sir Dunstan!

Sorry, not sure if Ranerius has returned yet to hear this

Probably not if you headed right down.


Shadow's Status

Was sick all week, just had enough energy to work plus both my kids started new schools this week so it was hectic on top of that.

Just updated.


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

Glad you're feeling a little better!

Me too, especially considering I wanted to be on the next night by now!


Shadow's Status

This week I will move you all to the new night.


Shadow's Status

Excellent folks, I will have the gang together relatively soon the next night. I'll get those posts up this week, probably Wednesday night.


Shadow's Status

OK terrific! You are all together, with the former PC NPCs you've quite the Coterie.


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

Wow, all oblivious.


Shadow's Status

Holy f*#+ing shit, that was 4 botches in a row! I've never seen that before in any game ever.


Salubri | 6th Gen | BP 30/30 | WP 5/5

Just a heads up , I will be traveling out of the country until next weekend. I’ll try to update if I can, but I don’t know what my bandwidth will be like.


Shadow's Status

That plot has been sitting dormant since 2016! Glad to get it out in the open finally! :-)


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

I love it when stuff like that happens!

Typo... or does Alessandro (not Alejandro) have the scrolls?


Shadow's Status

Alejandro the Lasombra Elder.


Shadow's Status

Feel free to post any questions in OOC as we are chewing through a lot of old plot here and spitting it back up for re examination.

Also, if you want to spend XP, now is a good time as it looks like based on votes you will all be seeking to force a confrontation with the Inquisition soon.


Shadow's Status

I'll post up on Ranerius' findings tonight.

Oh thank goodness. I was worried your next post would be something like: "Roll Stamina for Ranerius to see if his head explodes" ;)


Shadow's Status

Working all night tonight, I will try and update tomorrow.


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

Take your time, Sir!


Shadow's Status

I worked all night Sunday night as well.

I am buried this week, updates Friday evening.

Buried... like any self respecting vampire.

:) and ^v^


Salubri | 6th Gen | BP 30/30 | WP 5/5

Yeah, the week has been like that here as well. May you dig yourself out and resume your reign of terror


Shadow's Status

Still trying to dig out, I believe by tomorrow night I should be able to resume normal a posting rate.


Shadow's Status

Posts tomorrow.

Awesome!

I've been crazy here... life comes at ya fast!


Shadow's Status

Is there any other issues the Coterie wishes to discuss before moving to the warehouse and retrieving the Baali?

I assume you will all travel cloaked with Obfuscate or Donning the Mask of Shadows?


Ventrue | Gen 7 | Blood 20/20

It can be discussed as we move, but Alessandro is curious about the source of Ranerius' intel, the level of detail. It's also something for him to look forward to, having Auspex 2.


Shadow's Status

Tomorrow night I'll push along the narrative to the streets of Venice once more.


Male Italian (Toreador) Bloodpool 27 out of 30

Apologies, folks. I maybe a bit slow to post this weekend. Our dog has passed. She was very old, not healthy, so now is beyond pain, but still.. not at top of my game mentally right now :(


Shadow's Status

Very sorry to hear that,


Salubri | 6th Gen | BP 30/30 | WP 5/5

My deepest condolences. It’s never easy to lose a furbaby.

I will be traveling this weekend, but I’m sure I’ll have a chance to check in. I doubt we’ll be getting into any complex dice rolling. I’ll wave to you around 5am as I roll through NYC, Shadow
