Dpayne: As we last left off the door to the Archbishop's chamber has finally been opened and the clock has struck 13 times.
Aden: Oh, wait, Devereaux ...
Aden: Should he be here?
Devereaux: Yeah, I'm not in the building.
Dpayne: For Harbor Bay it is the witching hour, and eternal night fast approaches, and who knows what events are to come.
Barrett: Can't be helped that you sent him running miles away.
Dpayne: Devereaux is in front of the building.
Barrett: It could've been then but not now.
Dpayne: Rushing inside as we last left it.
Aden: I see.
Dpayne: Devereaux unless he suddenly decides to metagame and stop his action, will still make it in time.
Devereaux: Well, I stopped my bike in front of the building, so I don't know if I was actually heading inside yet.
Barrett: Yes, you were.
Devereaux: "You arrive at the park and your companions are nowhere to be seen. You notice to door a large ominous townhouse across the street is open, you also hear chiming."
Dpayne: Oh well, I don't want to force a player into something they don't think they decided to do.
Devereaux: Continue and I'll give you my next action.
Dpayne: Devereaux leave FTUvampire, and join #citystreets
Devereaux left the room.
Dpayne: The clock has finished its devilish chime, and the three of you sit in front of the Archbishop's door, which has opened just a crack after Aden's actions.
Dpayne: Throught he crack all you see is blackness.
Dpayne: Over.
Dpayne: Not Aden Barrett
Dpayne: Anyway...
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: I open the door and go inside.
Barrett: I look around for a light switch if they have something like that.
Barrett: over.
Dpayne: As you push the door open wide all you see is further darkness.
Dpayne: roll wits + alertness
dicebot: Dpayne rolled wits + alertness --> error: malformed expression
Dpayne: difficulty 8
Aden: All of us?
Dpayne: or perception + alertness
Dpayne: No just Barrett.

Dpayne: You stumble around in the deep darkness to only realize that there is no light switch in this room. Your mind begins to wonder how the bishop worked in such darkness perhaps he had a lamp.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: As before, I'll ignite my finger tip for some small illumination.
Aden: Over.
Barrett: "Aden light the room"
Barrett: I look for a lamp under the new illumination.
Barrett: over.
PingYu: I'm going to stay at the doorway, since I'm making the assumption that this darkness is in some way connected to the darkness of the park.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: Aden's lit finger provides just enough light to show an old small room with a bed and an oaken desk both covered in cobwebs, you see a lamp but there is no bulb.
Dpayne: It seems as if no one has been in this room for many years.
Barrett: So it's an electrical lamp then?
Dpayne: Yes
Dpayne: over.
Barrett: I walk over to the desk and try to open the drawer.
Barrett: over.
Dpayne: The drawers are locked, but common sense would dictate that the keys are somewhere in this room.
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: I check the bed thorougly under the blankets pillows and under the bed itself.
Barrett: over.
Dpayne: Ping roll perception + alertness difficulty 8.
PingYu: roll 3#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 3#d10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}
Dpayne: YOu find nothing under the immediately obvious places that you can see.
Dpayne: Perhaps if there was more light in the room.
Dpayne: Over
PingYu: Can I create light with an illusion? I'm not clear if that's possible or not.
Barrett: "Aden, set this bed on fire."
Aden: What are the walls in this place made of?
Barrett: they're fleshcrafted.
PingYu: Uggh
Dpayne: You can create the illusion of light, but it won't reveal anything that you don't know isn't there.
Dpayne: Since it's not a real light.
Barrett: over.
PingYu: I'll take out my lighter and see if the meagre amount of light from that helps.
PingYu: "No one has a flashlight?"
PingYu: Over.
Barrett: are there any other bulbs in the building?
Dpayne: The extra bit of light reveals a painting in the corner, it is encrusted with dust so you can't make out what's on it.
Dpayne: over.
Dpayne: There might be over.
Aden: So, this place has walls made of flesh?
Barrett: "Check the painting, I'll go look for a replacement bulb." I leave the room to search for another bulb.
Devereaux [Vinny@hide-79E680D4.hsd1.wv.comcast.net] entered the room.
Barrett: over.
Dpayne: The place is constructed mostly from bone and wood, there is flesh wallpaper in a large number of rooms.
Barrett: are there any torches? What's the usual source of light?
Dpayne: Electricity
PingYu: I'll take off the pillowcase and see if I can wipe the dust off of the painting.
PingYu: Over.
Barrett: So there are lightbulbs throughout this place unless it's lit by bolts of electricity.
PingYu: They're probably the wrong wattage.
PingYu: Or not the right type of bulb.
PingYu: They may have flourescent lights, normally.

Dpayne: As Ping removes some of the dust encrusted on the picture, you see what appears to be an old man holding an infant.
Dpayne: Aden and Barrett you recognize the man as the archbishop.
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: Is there anything behind the picture?

Dpayne: The three of you fail to find anything on the back of the painting, but you do notice that the picture is particularly thick for just being a painting.
Dpayne: Except for Barrett who notices nothing.
Barrett: sigh.
PingYu: "It's probably behind the canvas."
Aden: So, uh, do we notice that Devereaux is here?
Barrett: Is PingYu still holding the painting?
Dpayne: In addition to that you notice a small inscription at the bottom of the back of the painting.
Dpayne: "Commemorating the day my darling childe came into my life."
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux: You shouldn't know that I'm here.
Dpayne: No, Aden, you don't.
PingYu: Oh, it's like Angel. That horned guy is a child born of vampires.
Barrett: I hand PingYu my bone dagger expecting him to slice the portrait out of its frame.
PingYu: Her
Barrett: her
Barrett: over.
PingYu: I'll slice the portrait.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: As Ping slices open the painting a finger bone falls out and onto the floor.
Dpayne: over
Barrett: I pick up the finger bone
Devereaux: Over.
Barrett: and examine it closely.
PingYu: I'll jump back and start swearing in Mandarin.
PingYu: Over.
Barrett: over.

Barrett: I tear some skin wallpaper off the wall and wrap the fingerbone and then place it into my backpack for now.
PingYu: "What was that about?"
Barrett: Is there anything else in the painting?
PingYu: "That wasn't what you freaks use as a key?"
Dpayne: No there is nothing else significant about the painting.
Barrett: "Oh yes, that makes sense." I take the finger bone back out and walk over to the desk and try fitting it into the keyhole.
Aden: Hahaha.
PingYu: Baka...
PingYu: Oh wait.
PingYu: "Baka..."
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: The bone does not fit in the keyhole, however as you take it near the lamp it flickers for a moment.
Dpayne: over.
Barrett: I hold it up close to the lamp.
Barrett: over.
Dpayne: You notice nothing until the bone grazes the power switch again causing a flicker.
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: I put it right up against the damn power switch.
Barrett: ovah!
Dpayne: As you put it against the switch you accidentally push it in with the bone, the lamp suddenly illuminates the room with a blue light rendering it more visible.
Dpayne: Next to the best you notice a small nightstand you had not seen before.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I shield my face at the sudden burst of light.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: bed not best
Dpayne: bleh
Dpayne: over.
Barrett: somebody else feel free to partake of the action.
Barrett: I don't mind but I don't want to HOG it all!
Aden: Metagaming...
PingYu: Ping doesn't want to find more pieces of people.
Barrett: Okay I open the door of the nightstand.
Barrett: And I say to some unseen force that I'm not metagaming and really just want to give everybody equal time even though it makes no sense to me or the situation at hand.
Barrett: over.
Aden: Metagaming ...
Dpayne: As you open the nightstand you see a yellow trade paperback with a little bit of dust on it the title is "Book of Nod for Dummies"
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: I pick up the book and flip through it.
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: over.
Dpayne: As you open the book you come to the chapter listing and none of them seem to make sense.
Dpayne: Tech support in the modern world.
Dpayne: Freight Trains and their significance.
Dpayne: The World's Best Lockpickers.
Dpayne: And finally Father and Son relationships.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I snap my fingers and beckon for the book.
Aden: Over.
Barrett: I hand the book to Aden.
Barrett: And then continue to look through the nightstand.
Barrett: Over.
Aden: I look through it myself.
Aden: Over.
PingYu: I snap my fingers and beckon for the book.
PingYu: Over.
Aden: I hold a finger up to say 'Wait."
Aden: '
Aden: Over.
Barrett: I spin around and point my arm towards devereaux and go "HAAAAAAAAH" turning my arm into a horrific torrent of twisting flesh tumors and veins that rockets out the door like in Akira and grabs him!
PingYu: ?
Barrett: Just kidding that doesn't happen.
Aden: Some private chats going on, presumably.
PingYu: Yeah, I guess Vinny.
Aden: Stupid invisible Vinny.
Aden: If I could see Devereaux I'd strangle him.
Devereaux: I'm not doing anything.
PingYu: Oh, maybe Derek had a puking fit.
Dpayne: I had to move my car I was about to get a parking ticket.
Dpayne: Sorry.
Aden: I toss the book at the woman and snap my fingers again and point at the kid.
Aden: Over.
PingYu: Ok, I look at the book.
Barrett: I look up at Aden wondering what he wants.
PingYu: Over.
Barrett: Over.
Aden: I point at him, then back to myself, then out to the hall. Finally, with my index finger and pinky, I emulate horns on my head.
PingYu: "Hmmm... it's too bad Devereaux isn't here. This book was written for him."
Aden: Then I turn around and head out.
PingYu: Over.
Aden: Over.
Barrett: I follow Aden out.
Barrett: Over.
PingYu: I follow Barrett.
PingYu: "Why are we leaving? And where do you plan on going?"
PingYu: Over.
Barrett: "Have you figured out where the desk key is?" I say as i walk behind Aden.
Barrett: Over.
PingYu: roll 5#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
Aden: I chew my bottom lip for lack of an answer, and when we get outside I take out my notepad, worn from use and being thrown on the ground, flip to a new page and write: MEETING PLACE.
Aden: I show it to them both, then do my best to find a cab.
Aden: Over.
PingYu: "This is the best lead we have, and you want to give it up to go to some random location that has no connection to the horned man?"
PingYu: Over.
Devereaux: Is Derek here?
Dpayne: Yes
Aden: I flip to another page, chew my lip some more and dart my good eye around. I write: SABBAT BUSINESS. YOU STAY HERE, LOOK AROUND for the Chinese woman.
Aden: Over.
Aden: I don't show that to the kid,
Barrett: Did I ever get my dagger back from PingYu?
Dpayne: Presumably.
PingYu: Yes.
Barrett: Okay.
PingYu: Hmm
PingYu: "Do you understand the chapter titles?"
PingYu: Over.
Aden: Do I see any cabs yet?
Dpayne: Yes a cab finally pulls up.
Aden: I ignore her, hobble over to it and open the door for the kid.
Aden: Over.
PingYu: "Barrett, you should stay."
PingYu: Oh wait.
PingYu: I don't know his name.
PingYu: "The boy should stay."
PingYu: Over.
Aden: I spit on the ground angrily. With great strain, I kneel down and face the kid eye to eye. I get my notepad, write on a page: I CAN GET YOU TO YOUR SIRE TONIGHT. I underline the final word.
Aden: I rip out the page, push it into his chest. Then motion for him to get in.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: Aden, Ping and Barret you suddenly notice Devereaux coming up, it seems odd as none of you can percieve which direction he came from.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: Fuck.
Devereaux: "I don't think you should leave with him, Barrett."
Aden: 'Oh, fuck off!' I think.
Devereaux: "I have a few questions about what's going on, and if you could answer them to me, maybe we can illuminate this situation."
Devereaux: Over.
Barrett: I look at the ground
Devereaux: "Where are you taking him, Aden?"
Barrett: "Rock paper scissors"
Barrett: I point at Aden and Pingyu
Barrett: "There's an equally good chance so I'll let fate decide where I go tonight."
Devereaux: Over.
Barrett: Over.
Aden: I raise my finger to the kid, to tell him to wait one moment.
Aden: I struggle to not wear my anger on my face, pick myself up and walk over to Devereaux, trying to inspect where he could have come from. With great patience, I write down: SORRY FOR EARLIER.
Aden: I stay very close to him, keeping anyone else's eyes off of my pad.
Devereaux: I look at the message and grind my teeth.
Devereaux: "Fine, I'll stop playing around."
Devereaux: "Vasquez is dead. We've been set up as patsies to die."
Devereaux: "Dolores Sinclair has diablerized the prince and now Archbishop Vykos wants him," I say, pointing to Barrett.
Devereaux: I remove the bloodied book from my jacket and hand it to Aden.
Devereaux: Over.
Aden: I'll inspect the book.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: The blood has soaked through all the pages rendering the entire book unreadable save for a single page.
Barrett: "So was Vykos behind the destruction of the blood den?"
Dpayne: That page goes on and on about how glad Vasquez is that Vykos is gone once and for all.
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux: "I don't know. I couldn't get any more answers out of Vasquez before he went into torpor."
Aden: I give Devereaux a very complicated hand gesture which is meant to say: This book does not corroborate what you are saying.
Aden: j/k
PingYu: "What does this have to do with the horned man?"
PingYu: Over.
Aden: I nod to insist on her question.
Aden: Over.
Devereaux: "The horned man, I'm assuming, is the 'Dominic' this book used to refer to before it got soaked through with blood."
Devereaux: "Dolores Sinclair and him are working together. Sinclair's plan was to kill him later and use his power."
Dpayne: The cabby begins to seem very irritated.
Aden: Yeah, I was wondering about that.
Dpayne: "This better be a good fucking fair, Christ!"
Devereaux: "Vykos cannot find the kid."
PingYu: "So the Archbishop Vykos faked his disappearance?"
Devereaux: "It seems that way."
Barrett: "Why? What do I have to do with his plan?"
Kostas [chatzilla@hide-105ED6A9.wireless.mcgill.ca] entered the room.
Devereaux: "I don't know."
Devereaux: "By the way, Aden."
Devereaux: "Sinclair is the one who used Carmella as a scapegoat."
Devereaux: Over.
Barrett: over.
Aden: I pause.
Aden: To Hell with this. I gesture to both Devereaux and the Chinese woman, gracefully suggest that they both convene about this. Then I bow away, grab Barrett by his shoulder and attempt to tug him into the cab with me.
Barrett: I decide to get into the cab with him as there are no further answers to be found here.
Barrett: over.
Kostas left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 2.0.0.20/2008121709]).
Dpayne: The cabby turns to the two of you.
Dpayne: "Where to?"
Aden: I make sure to shut the door behind the kid and lock it.
Devereaux: I turn to Ping.
Devereaux: "What did you find in there?
Kostas [chatzilla@hide-105ED6A9.wireless.mcgill.ca] entered the room.
PingYu: "Now is not the time."
Aden: I motion for the driver to start driving, then begin writing down the address of the meeting place.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: The taxi begins the pull away from the curb.
Devereaux: I begin to grow irritated.
PingYu: I'm debating whether I want them to leave or not.
Dpayne: Ping Devereaux, the last thing you see is Aden handing a piece of paper to the cabby before it suddenly puts the pedal to the metal.
PingYu: I'll create an illusion of a police cruiser with sirens blaring to pull them over.
Aden: Christ.
PingYu: Actually, that doesn't seem reasonable/.
PingYu: Scratch all that.
PingYu: I'm not really invested in them not going because I don't believe Carmella's note.
Aden: Should we split chats?
Dpayne: Yes
Dpayne: The group has split.
Dpayne: Ping, Devereaux go to #bloodden
Devereaux left the room.
PingYu left the room.
dicebot left the room (Kicked by Aden (Aden)).
Aden: As we sit in the backseat, I pat the kid on the leg. I flip to a new page and write: WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
Aden: Over.
Barrett: I take the page from him and write something in impossibly tiny letters and hand it back to him.
Dpayne: Aden roll perception + alertness difficulty 9.
***Aden rolls 9 10-sided dice: 8 4 9 2 1 3 5 1 9
Aden: ugh
Dpayne: You make out a B, but fail to see the name.
Dpayne: or read rather
Aden: I look at the kid with frustration. 'Fine.'
Aden: I sit back in my seat and look out of the window.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: The cab winds and drives for a while and comes to the warehouse where your group first met.
Dpayne: Out in front of it you see several armed guards.
Dpayne: The cabby turns back and says "Look I don't want any trouble just get the fuck out of my cab and we're even."
Dpayne: over.
Barrett: I get out of the cab.
Barrett: over.
Aden: I nod in appreciation and hurry Buster or whoever out of the car.
Aden: I walk over to the armed guards, see how they react to me.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: "You don't look like no fucking she-wolf bitch, but whatever you brought the kid come inside."
Dpayne: They motion for you to enter the warehouse.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I give him a casual little "After you" motion.
Aden: Over.
Barrett: I follow them inside.
Barrett: over.
Dpayne: As you enter the building Barrett, you feel the sharp sting of a wooden stake piercing your heart as you collapse helpless to the ground.
Dpayne: Aden you turn to see this, and as you do several large men are upon you pinning you down.
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: "heh" I think as my body goes into shock paralyzed.
Aden: I do my best to hold my hands out, displaying them open, in a sign of peace.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: Several large men pick up Barrett and drag him to a corner of the room and drop him there.
Dpayne: As this happens you both notice the woman from earlier in the evening Sinclair whisper something to them before turning to Aden.
Dpayne: "Now I really have won."
Dpayne: She smirks.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I'm still pinned?
Barrett: I can't speak while staked, right?
Aden: Yeah, I think we're both incapacitated.
Dpayne: One of them men laughs and drops a pen and pad by your one free hand Aden.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: Ugh...
Aden: I'm humiliated.
Dpayne: Sinclair glances down at the note.
Dpayne: "Now why would I do that?"
Dpayne: "All you did was bring me the boy I would've found eventually anyway."
Dpayne: "And now that I've dealt with Dominic, there's really no need for me to rush in that regard."
Dpayne: "All you did was expedite things for me."
Aden: No...
Barrett: smooth move ex-lax.
Dpayne: "And I really doubt that's enough to warrant releasing that Camarilla cunt."
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: Thinking...
Kostas left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
Dpayne: Carmella cunt excuse me.
Dpayne: "Well now that I have both the Prince and Vykos's power, I would have to say... The world."
Aden: How many people can I see?
Dpayne: "With Dominic done, I can figure out his ritual for myself, I will control the beast in the park and spread it's power."
Dpayne: "I will be the dark queen this world deserves."
Dpayne: "I just need enough time to figure out how to properly "sacrifice" the boy."
Dpayne: She laughs.
Dpayne: "Although I do suppose you deserve some reward for bringin him to me."
Dpayne: She motions to some men and they move out of view.
Dpayne: Aden you see about 5 guys on you plus probably about 5 others.
Dpayne: But you can't be sure.
Dpayne: The two men suddenly come back from the distance and drop a woman on the ground badly beat, bloody and burnt.
Dpayne: She has a stake in her heart.
Dpayne: Through all the bruises and scars you finally recognize her as Carmella.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I let out an awful, screeching mute-scream.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: "Oh but don't you want your reward?"
Dpayne: She laughs again as she kneels over Carmella's body and pulls out the stake.
Dpayne: Carmella gasps.
Dpayne: "Hello, cunt, guess what, your lover boy brought me the kid despite you insisting he wouldn't. Isn't that funny."
Dpayne: Carmella cries, "No, Aden, no, please I know what you're planning, don't!"
Dpayne: Sinclair laugh again, "Now it's time for his reward, what better for someone who loves you then to give them your heart."
Dpayne: As she says this she thrusts her fist into the open wound in Carmella's chest and rips out her heart.
Dpayne: You see tears streaming down Carmella's face as the life fades from her for the last time.
Dpayne: Sinclair tosses the heart at you.
Dpayne: "Enjoy."
Dpayne: She then cackles madly before walking away but turns and says one last thing to the guards.
Dpayne: "Kill him."
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I don't even think as I summon up flames, it comes as naturally to me as breathing used to.
Aden: I'll take a multiple action and conjure two bonfires above me, trying to ignite those pinning me down.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: Okay give me a second because we have two big things going on at once so this is going to take me a second.
Dpayne: The five men on top of you suddenly scream in agony as their bodies are engulfed in flames, they leap off of you and begin running around in a craze.
Dpayne: One of them collapses dead right there.
Dpayne: You take a point of aggravated damage yourself from the burn, but you are now free.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: Any men still able-bodied and ready to attack me?
Dpayne: 3 of the men have readied their weapons, the rest have fled in terror.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I stand.
Aden: Flames are swirling around me and I am looking like the most horrific motherfucker that has ever lived.
Dpayne: roll 2#d10

Aden: I leave my cane down on the ground, raise my hand to one of the men and try to burn up his head.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: Two of the men suddenly drop their weaons and begin backing off.
Aden: The one still holding his weapon, then.
Dpayne: The one who looks determined suddenly finds that his hair has burst into flames and he begins screaming before his whole face is engulfed in fire.
Aden: I scream.
Dpayne: You see bone skin and flesh melt.
Dpayne: The man collapses onto the ground in a heap.
Dpayne: The other two men now run screaming.
Dpayne: It is now you alone in this room with a fountain of blood.
Dpayne: And the boy staked in the corner.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I want to light those sorry bastards up too, if I can.
Aden: I don't care if it's unnecessary.
Aden: Raise both hands, simultaneous discharge of flame, licking at their heels.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: One of the trips and is suddenly engulfed whole in flame.
Dpayne: The other sees this and keeps running albeit with flaming pants.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I'm down to only two blood points now.
Aden: I walk to the fountain, drop down and dunk my head inside.
Aden: I drink and drink and drink.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: You drink until you are full and now your thoughts can only think of Sinclair.
Dpayne: But she is nowhere to be seen.
Dpayne: You know she couldn't have left the building howerver.
Dpayne: however
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I wipe the blood from my good eye, walk back over to Carmella.
Aden: I bite into my wrist, tearing it open, no thought to my own well-being.
Aden: I want it gushing.
Aden: And I desperately press it to her lips.
Aden: Over.
Barrett: isn't her heart missing?
Aden: Yeah.
Aden: I'm kind of fucked here.
Dpayne: There is no reaction, you realize that this must be what final death is.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: Did the armed guards outside enter in, or are they still posted?
Dpayne: They've fled.
Aden: A single blood tear rolls down my cheek.
Aden: I close Carmella's eyes, then hold her heart in my hands.
Aden: And burn it.
Aden: Then I burn her too.
Aden: To ash.
Barrett: you know I might have at least tried to reattach that.
Aden: I'm sure Derek would have allowed that.
Aden: I stand up again, limp over to the kid and pull out his fucking stake.
Dpayne: Barrett you suddenly feel control return to your body.
Barrett: why would she leave me in the corner after going to all that trouble?
Dpayne: However you took 2 lethal damage.
Aden: I don't even look at him. I splash more blood in my face to replenish myself from the pyre, and heal my wrist.
Aden: Over.
Barrett: and why is there a blood fountain in this warehouse?
Barrett: Well anyway I cough up some blood and struggle to my feet wondering what just happened.
Barrett: I look at Aden. "What...what is this?"
Barrett: over.
Aden: I pull out my old notepad.
Barrett: "nevermind" i say putting a hand up to his notepad.
Barrett: "i imagine it's too much to explain. Where is my sire?"
Aden: I look at the floor.
Aden: Sigh.
Aden: Despite his protest, I write LIED TO YOU on a page, then rip it out and let it fall down. He can read it if he wants.
Barrett: After a moment any hope leaves me. "I see."
Aden: STUPID, I write on another page, rip it out, let it fall.
Barrett: I pick up my backpack and leave this warehouse and Aden.
Barrett: Where I'm heading I don't know yet.
Aden: I keep fucking writing.
Aden: SORRY, I write. Rip it out, let it fall.
Barrett: I ignore any further writings.
Aden: Let it pile up.
Aden: GET OUT.
Barrett: As I'm already out the door and gone.
Aden: I know, shut up, I'm doing this for myself.
Barrett: over.
Aden: HAVE A LONG UNLIFE.
Aden: And again: SORRY.
Aden: I let them all drop to the floor, kick at the pile of paper, then toss whatever's left of my notebook into the fountain. Pen too.
Aden: Then I start looking for Sinclair.
Aden: Over.
Barrett left the room.
Dpayne: Roll perception + alertness difficulty 7.
***Aden rolls 9 10-sided dice: 7 3 6 3 4 9 9 3 2
Dpayne: You find indentations in the wall of what seems to be a doorway, but you can't think of how to open it.
Dpayne: You don't see any immediately available lever.
Dpayne: or switch.
Dpayne: Perhaps more investigation is necessary.
Aden: I pound my fists on it retardedly.
Aden: Then turn around, lean my back against it, look for anything that could help.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: As you lean against the wall it suddenly opens up almost causing you to trip and land on you back.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: Hell.
Aden: I turn around and examine wherever I am.
Aden: And I pull out my dusty old revolver from my vest.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: You see that the passage leads to a long downward stone staircase that is dimly lit, you cannot see the end of it.
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux [Vinny@hide-79E680D4.hsd1.wv.comcast.net] entered the room.
Aden: Get outta here!
Devereaux: Too bad.
Dpayne: Aden you hear someone run in behind you.
Dpayne: You quick turn to see that it's Devereaux.
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux: I'm also riding my motorcycle into the warehouse while popping a wheelie.
Devereaux: Not really ...
Aden: I push him away.
Aden: Then I take every single one of those goddamn stone steps with my dead, useless leg dragging along.
Aden: Over.
Devereaux: Also, I look around to get a sense of the place.
Devereaux: Over.
Dpayne: You see the blood fountain, and a lot of piles of Ash and bone, Devereaux.
Devereaux: Are the bones still warm?
Aden: And a pile of notepad paper.
mode (+v Devereaux) by Aden
Dpayne: Yes
Aden: Also, I'm covered in and dripping with blood.
Devereaux: I look up at Aden climbing the stone steps, and around at all the ash and bone and am reminded what I read in Vykos' journal.
Devereaux: Is the blood fountain flowing?
Dpayne: Yes
Devereaux: I heal my aggravated damage (or at least the portion not required by a night's rest), and drink until I'm satiated.
Devereaux: Over.
Dpayne: You can't heal any aggravated damage it takes a full day of rest.
Dpayne: But your blood pool is filled.
Devereaux: Oh, I thought it was that plus 5 blood points or so
Devereaux: and I was just getting that part out of the way
Dpayne: 5 points and a days rest
Aden: You have to spend them at the time, cheater.
Devereaux: OH.
Dpayne: Plus you can heal an additional point in that day for each extra 5 blood points you spend.
Devereaux: I see.
Dpayne: Yeah aggravated damage is rough.
Devereaux: I move towards the notebook paper and flip through it, looking to try and piece together what the fuck happened here and why Barrett has ended the alliance.
Devereaux: Over.
Devereaux: I flip through the paper and toss it away. I move towards Aden.
Dpayne: Aden as you descend you see that Devereaux has caught up with you.
Aden: NOW I push him away.
Dpayne: You both descend for several minutes and you wonder how far below the surface you have actually gone.
Dpayne: You finally come to a metal door.
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux: "Aden, you're walking right into their trap."
Devereaux: "They need both you and Barrett."
Devereaux: "I don't know what's happened here but ... does any of this mean anything to you?"
Devereaux: Over.
Aden: I turn to him, stare him in his sparkling, pretty eyes and shake my head.
Aden: I think: 'I'll make damn sure they don't get me.'
Aden: Then, like I did earlier tonight to Carmella, I hold up my index finger and light a small candle flame on it.
Aden: I make sure Devereaux takes a good look.
Devereaux: I hang my head and snort for a second.
Aden: Then I blow it out, and shrug.
Devereaux: Err, that came out wrong.
Aden: With my right hand, the one holding the revolver, I push him away again and open the door.
Aden: Over.
Devereaux: "Fine, have it your way," I think.
Dpayne: You open the door to hear a familiar sinister female laugh.
Dpayne: But what you see is not familiar at all.
Dpayne: A grotesque monstrosity stands before you.
Dpayne: A large bone hide with large chitinous breasts attached to two large meaty arms with hands the size of a mand's torse make up the middle.
Dpayne: The lowar half would best be described as spider like with 8 bony insect appendages extending from a large bone covered abdomen.
Dpayne: At the top is a beautiful woman's face with long red flowing hair that appears to be made of strands of bloody muscle.
Dpayne: "I was wondering when you'd arrive."
Dpayne: The monstrosity bellows with the voice of Sinclair.
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux: "This must be the true metamorphosis ..." I mutter.
Devereaux: I attempt to regain my composure in sight of her grotesque form.
Devereaux: "Did Dominic do this to you?"
Devereaux: Over.
Aden: I can't believe he's still here.
Dpayne: "This power is my own from devouring and supplanting Vykos years ago. None of these fools understand the true power that can be achieved with our blood, and Vykos's vicissitude has mde me even more powerful."
Dpayne: "Soon with Dominic's blood in me, and the darkness from the park, I will rule this world as the dark beautiful queen that I am."
Dpayne: She once again cackles wildly.
Aden: Ignoring Devereaux, I raise my arm and point my revolver at the creature, staring at it without fear, only resignation. I limp forward.
Aden: Over.
Devereaux: "Once I heard that you had betrayed me and sent me off to die, I thought of how wonderful it would be to cut your beautiful skin."
Devereaux: "But now, your nothing but ugliness."
Devereaux: I start to head towards the large metal door.
Devereaux: "I'll let you two kill each other."
Devereaux: Over.
PingYu [~Feuilly@hide-7327B50C.dsl.teksavvy.com] entered the room.
Barrett [chatzilla@hide-BF797D4D.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
Aden: Oh come ON.
mode (+vv Barrett PingYu) by Aden
Devereaux: Hey, I thought she was MY NEMESIS.
Dpayne: As you turn to head towards the door a large metallic table slams in front of it blocking the exit.
Dpayne: "You're not going anywhere, Pretty boy!"
Dpayne: Over.
Dpayne: Also, everyone roll initiative.
Aden: What about Ping and Barrett?
Dpayne: You don't see them.
Barrett: what else is in the room?
Dpayne: They also roll initiative, but they're hidden.
***Aden rolls 1 10-sided die: 10

PingYu: It's wits + dex + d10, right?
Aden: Yes.
PingYu: 8 + 8 = 16
Devereaux: 7 + 4 = 11
Barrett: 7 + 5 = 12
Barrett: You said there was some lab equipment, can you elaborate on that? Are there any recognizable chemicals or syringes etc?
Dpayne: No, nothing percievable, just glass beakers and tubes things you might see in a magician or shitty scientists' home, but there might be something if you take a closer look, it will take a full turn to sift through the equipment.
Barrett: Would Ping or I be able to sneak over to it without her seeing us?
Dpayne: Alright, Ping, Aden, Sinclair, Barrett, Devereaux
Dpayne: Yes, you likely would.
PingYu: I'm going to defer to act until after other people do.
Devereaux: Me too.
Barrett: yeah might as well keep our element of surprise
Aden: Uhhh, you're last, Vinny.
PingYu: I'm not really sure what's going on.
Devereaux: Oh, I thought that just meant not saying what I want to do until it was my turn.
Dpayne: Boss battle is what's going on.
Aden: If that was the case everybody would do that.
PingYu: I mean, is Dominic dead, or what?
Aden: You should learn the rules.
Barrett: that's probably something we'll learn when and if we kill her.
Aden: Anyway, since Ping is yielding.
Aden: I'll continue limping closer to her and empty my clip, aiming at her face, just to get her attention on me.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: Emptying a clip isn't a multi action, Right?
Barrett: I don't know, is it an automatic?
Aden: It is, since it's not an automatic.
Dpayne: Ah, okay
Aden: Wait.
Aden: I might not even be able to anyway.
Aden: Yeah, I think I can only fire two shots with this gun no matter what.
Dpayne: Okay roll dex + firearms twice difficulty 6, first roll minus 2 dice, second roll minus 3.

Dpayne: Aden fires off two quick shots while advancing, the first on strikes Sinclair dead on in her head, but then drops to the ground in a chink and she smiles.
Dpayne: She second flies several inches past her face.
Dpayne: Sinclair seeing this performs two actions with blinding speed unbecoming of a creature this size.
Dpayne: First she bears her hideous visage at Devereaux and will use dread gaze.
Dpayne: roll 9#d10

Aden: The luckiest fucking vampire in the world.
Devereaux: Gee hee hee.
Dpayne: Devereaux giggles at the beasts attempt to be frightening flustering her, and denying her effective use of the power for the rest of the battle.
Devereaux: "You're just a bloated tumor now, Dolores."
Dpayne: He second action is to grasp Aden in her impossibly large hand and lift him off the ground.
Dpayne: roll 5#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}
Aden: Hahaha, God.
Dpayne: She lifts and squeezes you, not causing any pain but certainly denying Aden movement for the next round.
Dpayne: any pain yet
PingYu: Guys, we're in trouble. I think she may actually be stronger than Ping.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: So Vinny, then the rest of us.
Barrett: Well if it's my turn I choose to sneak over to the lab equipment and quickly shuffle through it to see what I can find.
Devereaux: I'm last.
PingYu: We deferred our actions.
Aden: It's Psaturn, then Vinny, then you, Theldorrin.
Devereaux: Oh, I see.

Dpayne: You shuffle through and manage to find one tube labeled with a familiar skull and crossbones warning, you don't recognize the chemical, but if vampires put a warning on it the it must be dangerous.
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux: I plop my ass over onto the upturned table blocking the door and relax.
Barrett: I grab the tube and sneak my way behind Sinclair so that we're surrounding her in an X-pattern
Devereaux: Oh, is it still his turn?
Barrett: over.
Dpayne: That's your next turn, Barrett.
Barrett: oh okay.
Dpayne: It's your turn Devereaux, Ping?
Barrett: over still.
Aden: Devereaux/
PingYu: So there's two doors? One is blocked by a table. Some lab equipment, books, and the boiler itself?
Dpayne: Yes
Dpayne: You presume it's a boiler.
Devereaux: I do what I just said and then say "It's quickly become apparent to me that both Sinclair and Aden are too dangerous to live."
Dpayne: The strangeness of this room and the depth could mean it's something else.
PingYu: Unfortunately I don't have the science knowledge to cause it to blow up, even if I did know it was a boiler.
Devereaux: "I think we should let the two fight it out."
Devereaux: Over.
PingYu: So I guess that means I provide a distraction, so that she won't notice Barrett, and maybe will leave the others alone.
Dpayne: What sort of distraction she is fairly focused on Aden and Devereaux right now.
PingYu: I'll create the sound of Vasquez's voice beyond the other door (the blocked one).
Dpayne: Alright
PingYu: I'll start it simple. And maybe build on it in later turns. So it'll be animate.
PingYu: "You foolish woman..." in a fairly loud voice beyond the door.
Dpayne: She hears the voice and mutters "No that's not possible, I killed you..."
Dpayne: Before turning her attentions back to Aden.
Dpayne: It's having an effect on her clearly, but it might take a little more prodding.
Dpayne: over
Aden: Initiative again?
PingYu: Yes. Is that the end of my turn or can I add more?
Dpayne: End of your turn.
PingYu: Ok
Dpayne: And yes initiative.

Aden: I think back to the fight with the werewolf earlier tonight. Everything fucking burns.
Aden: I'll summon a bonfire at her face.

Dpayne: She takes some damage but doesn't seem all that phased.
Dpayne: Over
Barrett: I take the tube marked with the skull and crossbones and sneak behind Sinclair. I open the tube away from my face and carefully let out a single drop to see what effect it might have on the floor and then recover it.
Dpayne: Aden take one level of bashing damage.
Barrett: replace it (the cover)
Dpayne: It doesn't seem to have an effect on the floor, again Vampires put the poison symbol on it.
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: I nod and look up at sinclair from behind trying to find a chink in her armor.

PingYu: Wow.
Barrett: with that kind of roll i hope she trips over her own legs and crashes into the wall.
Dpayne: It's not a botch.
Dpayne: But it is an awful roll.
Dpayne: She fails to grab Aden and screams, bringing her other large meaty paw down to smash him.

Dpayne: His leg is still crushed.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: Until now my face was expressionless, dead. But feeling the incredible sensations of this pain, I begin to rejuvenate. I'm not deterred from my goal, but my lips begin to curl, and soon... I'm smiling again...
Aden: And soon, I'm laughing, sickeningly.
Aden: Over.
PingYu: It's probably a good idea I didn't decide to goad Aden on by using the voice of Carmella.
Dpayne: Poor Carmella...
Dpayne: Ping?
PingYu: "You made a mistake, Camarilla scum... And now you're all alone, with no escape."
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: "I killed you, how is this possible, you're dead, DEAD!"

Dpayne: Devereaux takes 6 levels of lethal damage.
PingYu: Devereaux sort of deserves it.
Aden: Is Devereaux in torpor now?!
Dpayne: Sinclair laughs heartily at the comical image of Devereaux's head hanging by a thread looking around in desperation.
Dpayne: No he is one level of damage from it.
Aden: How many points of aggravated damage did he have?
Devereaux: I had one.
Dpayne: He had one, and I'm making them seperate pools.
Aden: Oh, really?
Dpayne: At least for this sake.
Aden: Then I need to update myself.
Dpayne: 2 and I would've put him in torpor.
Dpayne: The first level of damage in each pool doesn't stack.
Dpayne: At least for my rules.
Aden: Oh well, time for BEHEADED DEVEREAUX.
Aden: WHERE IS YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE NOW?
Dpayne: Devereaux's turn.
Devereaux: How many points will it take to heal the lethal damage?
Dpayne: 6 to heal all your damage.
Devereaux: Jesus Christ.
Dpayne: You can only heal one a turn.
Dpayne: Hence the advantage of good generation.
PingYu: Now you understand why I was pissed off when you got us into that car accident.
Devereaux: I didn't do it!
Devereaux: Can I crawl behind the upturned heavy metal table or will Aden's body crash through it and kill me?
Dpayne: You can crawl sort of behind the table and heal one point of damage if you like.
Dpayne: It won't provide much cover but you will have a little protection.
Devereaux: I'll do that.
Dpayne: Devereaux's head reattaches slightly as he drags himself weakly behind some cover.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I continue laughing like a maniac, coughing up blood, and I heal myself as much as I can.
Aden: Is every part of her that can be on fire on fire?
Dpayne: Yes
Aden: Then I'll start looking around the room for the most flammable looking objects, particularly for structural shit.
Barrett: maybe you can cook her from the inside out.
Dpayne: The boiler sticks out to you, and she's between it and anyone else in the room.
Dpayne: It might not burn, but the fire would certainly generate a reaction.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I'll go for it. Campfire.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: The boiler bubbles and explodes, it fails to cause any damage to the monstrosity but it knocks her on her side scrambling.
Dpayne: She loses her action next turn.
Dpayne: In addition steam shoots from pipes and they start poking through the concrete cieling cracking it and weakening it.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: 'This place is burning straight down to Hell,' I think, grinning as blood pours from my mouth.
Dpayne: Oh yeah
Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
Dpayne: Her flaming hair also seems to cause her some aggravation this turn.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: "Your diablerie has been exposed, you know. There are no safe havens left for you."
PingYu: "Anyway, I hope you enjoy the morning sun. This warehouse won't be up come morning."
Dpayne: Willpower difficulty 8.
PingYu: And I'll waft some smoke under the door.
Dpayne: roll 9#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 9#d10 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}
Dpayne: "YOU'RE DEAD, I KILLED YOU!"
Dpayne: She screams.
Dpayne: Her penalty isn't increased, but the difficulty to resist next turn is increased by 2.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Over for me too.
***Aden rolls 1 10-sided die: 9
PingYu: roll d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=3 ]{3}
Aden: 6 + 9 = 15

PingYu: 3 + 8 = 11
Devereaux: 7 + 8 = 15

Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
Dpayne: Barrett, Devereaux, Aden, Ping
Dpayne: Sinclair spends her turn standing.
Dpayne: But it's after Aden.
Aden: Barrett and Devereaux go simultaneously, btw.
Devereaux: I heal a point.
Barrett: I jump on Sinclair's back or thorax or whatever and do my best to climb my way up to a point where I'm right by her face.
Dpayne: Devereaux's head now seems firmly attached albeit still gashed. His jaw however, is still hanging by a loose flap of skin.
Dpayne: Roll Dex+Athletics difficulty 5, then dex + brawl difficulty 7.
dicebot: Dpayne rolled Dex+Athletics difficulty 5, then dex + brawl difficulty 7. --> error: malformed expression
Dpayne: 2 die penalty for the first one, 3 for the second.
Aden: Plus his damage penalty.
Barrett: roll 5#d10
dicebot: Barrett rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}
Dpayne: Oh yeah, you do have a penalty.
Aden: Haha, what a teacher's pet I am.
Barrett: well what's the penalty then?
Aden: You forgot to give us homework!
Dpayne: You succesfully jump upon her back.
Dpayne: 1 for the next roll.
Barrett: d10
Dpayne: 1 adittional so 4 dice away.
Dpayne: Over.
Dpayne: Still dex + brawl.
Barrett: so 9 - 4?
Dpayne: Yes
Barrett: roll 5#d10
dicebot: Barrett rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}
Dpayne: You manage to climb up and get near her face.
Dpayne: You take a level of aggravate damage because you have to grip her flaming head of bloody hair.
Barrett: am i out of actions?
Dpayne: But you are quite secure near her head.
Dpayne: Yes you are done for the turn.
Barrett: okay
Barrett: over.
Barrett: i'll brb
Dpayne: Aden?
Aden: Is Devereaux done?
Dpayne: Yes he healed and stayed hidden.
Dpayne: Not a lot he can do at the moment.
PingYu: It's all up to you, Aden.
Aden: Do the cracks in the ceiling expose flammable targets?
Dpayne: Well you might have caused a gas main to break, you can check by rolling perception + alertness difficulty 8.
Aden: Would that be my whole turn?
Dpayne: Yes
Aden: Hmmmm.
Dpayne: You aren't exactly a contractor so it will require some attention on your part.
Aden: Can I take a multiple action?
Dpayne: Yes
Aden: And choose my second action AFTER this roll?
PingYu: powergamer...
Aden: noooo
Dpayne: Yes, but you need to declare number of actions first.
Dpayne: So I know the proper penalty to apply.
Aden: I'll heal two points of damage, then examine the ceiling, then take one further action which will depend on what I see.
Dpayne: roll perception + alertness - 3 dice difficulty 8.
dicebot: Dpayne rolled perception + alertness - 3 dice difficulty 8. --> error: malformed expression
***Aden rolls 6 10-sided dice: 7 1 3 6 2 8
Aden: Damn.
Dpayne: You can determine if on of the things shooting shit is a gas main, at this point it's a gamble.
Barrett: back in black
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: All right, I'm throwing a campfire onto one of the chemical tables, hopefully something on there is nicely reactive.
Aden: Over.
Barrett: I hold on tight
Aden: Actually.
Aden: I redact that.
Aden: I will try my luck at the pipes.
Aden: Aden wouldn't pass this up.
Devereaux: I don't think I can play any longer.
Aden: =-O
Barrett: hang in there faggot!
Barrett: we're almost done!
Barrett: at least till my next turrrrn!
Dpayne: One of the pipes catches and shoots a stream of flame straight at Barrett and and Sinclair.
PingYu: :O
Dpayne: Barrett take 2 levels of aggravated damage, you fortunately don't catch fire.
Barrett: rock
Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=3 ]{3}
Aden: Do I notice him yet?
Devereaux: Well, if this the last chapter it'll be awhile
Dpayne: Sinclair also seems to be hurt as bone and flesh melt cieling up one of her eyes.
Devereaux: If not, auto-heal me for the rest of the fight
Dpayne: Yeah you noticed him when he jumped on her.
Aden: Oh.
Aden: Well, welcome to Hell, kid.
Aden: We're all going down now.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: I'd rather not end on this turn, but we might want to pause it, because this probably isn't the final battle or at least beating her won't be the end.
PingYu: That's what I thought.
Barrett: don't end heeeeere!
Aden: Damn.
Barrett: I have to say my big line.
Aden: Why do you have to go, Vinny?
Dpayne: Let's do one more round.
Aden: Is it something stupid that you know we'll reject as a reason?
Dpayne: And pause after that.
Kostas [chatzilla@hide-F92D0DA9.rez.mcgill.ca] entered the room.
Dpayne: We'll give Barrett a chance to use his bottle.
Aden: baby needs his bottle...
PingYu: I'm going to create the sound of girders groaning above us, and puff out more smoke under the door.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: Anyway sinclair screams in pain but is now standing looking extremely determined and pissed off.
Dpayne: You all doubt that the damage she's taken will affect her ability to fight, yet...
PingYu: Hopefully Barrett will do his thing
Dpayne: roll 9#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 9#d10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}
Dpayne: She seems quite perturbed
Dpayne: "How is this possible, how can you be doing this, I'll kill you again and again!"
Dpayne: She recieves another further penalty to her dice pool.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: roll d10

Aden: 6 + 5 = 11
PingYu: = 9
Barrett: 6 + 7 = 12
Dpayne: So Barrett, Aden, Ping, Sinclair.
Barrett: I hold onto her flaming hair with my left hand and yank the cork out of the bottle with my teeth gripping it in my fist. "EAT THIS, YOU GIANT TREE TRUNK PIECE OF ASS!" Barrett sticks his half bone barbed arm in Sinclair's mouth and attempts to shove it down her throat.
Dpayne: Okay, roll str + brawl difficulty 7.
Dpayne: Are you going to use a willpower point?
Barrett: yes
Dpayne: And remember 2 die penalty because of damage although you can take it down to 1 with healin.
Dpayne: so I'll recommend you do that to because I'm nice.
Barrett: Okay so I heal first?
Barrett: And then I can perform the full action?
Dpayne: Yeah, alright, roll str + brawl difficulty 7 - one die.
Dpayne: Yes you can heal and perform one full action without penalty.
Dpayne: It only causes a penalty with multiactions.
Barrett: the willpower point negates a bad roll though, right?
Dpayne: It's an automatic success.
Dpayne: It doesn't negate a bad roll, but it will negate a botching roll..
Barrett: roll d10
dicebot: Barrett rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=3 ]{3}
Dpayne: No
Barrett: huh?
Dpayne: You have 4 dice.
Barrett: oh

Dpayne: Str (1) + brawl (4) - 1 dice
PingYu: Wow.
Barrett: This is what it means when worlds coliiiiiiid
PingYu: Good roll.
Dpayne: The small child smashe his arm and the bottle through Sinclair's face into her mouth, she begins gasping and vomits up 5 points of blood, as the carapace around her hearts begins to crack and expose a soft fleshy spot.
Dpayne: "What have you done to me!" she screams.
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: over.
PingYu: I'm tempted to diablerize her...
Barrett: go for it.
Aden: shut up bitch
PingYu: Are we going to stop?
Dpayne: Well the fight isn't done, but we better pause and wait for Devereaux.
PingYu: I think he's gone.
Dpayne: Yeah that's what I'm saying we should pick it up tomorrow.
PingYu: Oh, ok.
Barrett: That's fine
PingYu: It doesn't bother me, because my chat client shows me the history right above .
Aden: Yes, mine too.
PingYu: Same time tomorrow?
Dpayne: Someone at least save the last part and send it to me.
Dpayne: Yeah that works for me.
Dpayne: We should pick it up soon.
