Dpayne: Alright as we last left Sinclair was vomiting up blood profusely screaming, and the carapace around her heart had cracked after Barret shoved the liquid into her mouth.
Dpayne: Roll initiative for next combat round.
dicebot: Dpayne rolled initiative for next combat round. --> error: malformed expression
Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
Devereaux: So she's filled with vampire poison?
PingYu: roll d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=3 ]{3}
Devereaux: roll d10
dicebot: Devereaux rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{9}
Barrett: roll d10
dicebot: Barrett rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{4}
PingYu: 3 + 8 = 11
Aden: It was my turn...
PingYu: Was it?
Aden: We weren't done with the round.
Dpayne: You went before her I believe.
Dpayne: But then I don't remember.
PingYu: Yeah, Jason is right.
Aden: Dpayne: So Barrett, Aden, Ping, Sinclair.
Aden: 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.
PingYu: Barrett, Aden, Ping, SInclair
PingYu: And we stopped with Barrett.
Dpayne: Okay, Aden's turn
Dpayne: Devereaux will go last this round.
Dpayne: Since I don't remember the initiative results.
PingYu: He didn't roll since he was away.
Aden: Oh yeah, he was supposed to go last for being late.
Aden: Then you let him roll.
PingYu: Then he was away again.
Devereaux: Well, just play, I don't care.
Devereaux: So Aden?
Aden: I'm talking to Derek, sorry.
Dpayne: There is no multiaction penalty on the rolls however.
Dpayne: And that's the rule since there's no real action roll for your ability, double cost for 2 flames, triple for 3 etcetera.
Aden: Sorry everyone.
Dpayne: Okay roll accuracy difficulty 7.
Aden: I limp over to the newly exposed weak spot of Sinclair, conjure the largest fire I possibly can between my hands and thrust it into her, making it explode upon impact.
***Aden rolls 10 10-sided dice: 5 10 8 1 4 4 10 6 5 8
Dpayne: The exposed area of Sinclair's chest explodes outward showering gore on Aden's face, she stumbles backward but still remains standing.
Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
Dpayne: She seems severely weakened however and starts screaming, "You fools won't kill me, I can't die to you weaklings!"
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Hmmm
Dpayne: Ping?
PingYu: Yeah, I'm not sure what I can do. I can't directly involve myself because my strikes will do no good.
PingYu: I'll do nothing, I suppose.
Dpayne: Alright
PingYu: It seems like she's almost defeated anyway.
Dpayne: Sinclair screams and swats at Barret with her large meaty fist.
Dpayne: roll 2#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 2#d10 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
Dpayne: roll 5#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{10}

Dpayne: roll 2#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 2#d10 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}
Barrett: sinclair has really brutal rolls.
Dpayne: The blow smashes hard into the child vampire sending him flying and slamming into a wall breaking an arm and dislocating both his shoulders.
Dpayne: Barrett takes 4 lethal damage.
Dpayne: How much damage is that total, Barrett?
Barrett: Okay well did my arm that was in her mouth rip off then?
Dpayne: ?
Barrett: Because I made those bone barbs to hook into her should she try to yank my arm out of her mouth.
Dpayne: Your arm wasn't still in her mouth, I doubt you could keep it there when she vomitted up 5 points of blood.
Barrett: Okay then
Barrett: I don't know how much damage that is. Did I heal last turn?
Dpayne: Additionally the force of that blow would render your barbs useless.
Dpayne: You healed your lethal damage, but you have aggravated damage, and I need to know how much.
Barrett: Fuck. i have no idea.
Barrett: Lets see for the fire of being on her?
Barrett: I guess I've been there 2 turns and I took 2 damage from the explosion
Barrett: so I guess I had 4 damage
Barrett: plus 2 from the barbs I made
Dpayne: Okay that's what I needed to know.
Barrett: and 2 from being staked
Barrett: but those might have been healed.
Dpayne: The child slumps down unconcious as his burns and this blow have overtaken him, and he slips into torpor barely clinging to his unlife.
Dpayne: Over.
Barrett: goodnight everybody!
Aden: I piss in his eyes.
Dpayne: Well you're not dead, and Barrett still has a role to play in the story.
Dpayne: Devereaux?
Aden: He's pretty much dead since he has no Humanity and he went under due to injury.
Aden: Unless we're changing the rules.
Devereaux: If I use Celerity, can I use blood points on my extra turns?
Dpayne: No, you can't use celerity to bypass you generational healing limit.
Devereaux: Then I heal a point.
Dpayne: Devereaux is starting to look healthy again, despite the loss of Barett, another player may be able to return to the fight.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Don't you have dagggers?
Devereaux: Yeah, but I'm mauled.
PingYu: I should just head in and take your shit.
Devereaux: I guess I'm whatever's above mauled now.
Dpayne: You've healed 3 of your 6 lethal damage.
Dpayne: You're fine.
PingYu: Initiative?
Dpayne: yes
Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{8}
Devereaux: roll d10
dicebot: Devereaux rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{9}
***Aden rolls 1 10-sided die: 1
PingYu: roll d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=2 ]{2}
Aden: 6 + 1 = 7
PingYu: 2 + 8 = 10
Devereaux: 7 + 9 = 16
Dpayne: Devereaux, Sinclair, Ping, Aden
Aden: It's all on you, Devereaux!
Aden: Finish her!
Devereaux: I guess I throw a throwing knife at her weak spot.
Aden: ugghhh
Devereaux: Wait, cancel that.
PingYu: I think that's the best you can do without a gun.
Dpayne: Are you going to heal another point of damage this turn as well?
Devereaux: I thought you said I was fine.
Aden: Oh God.
Dpayne: you still have 3 damage, but your fine to act it's only a 2 die penalty.
Aden: Please learn the rules, Vinny.
Devereaux: I know the rules.
Dpayne: You're not about to die is what I mean.
Aden: He can use Celerity, run up to the weak spot and stab it multiple times.
Devereaux: I can't run.
Aden: Throwing knives are worthless.
Dpayne: But you can go up to injured.
PingYu: Yeah, stabbing would be better.
Dpayne: The distance isn't so far that ti would be a multi action to run and hit her.
Dpayne: So you can heal and attack without a multiaction penalty.
Devereaux: So generational healing is only one per turn, but can I also do that with celerity and THEN pump up a stat?
Aden: No one said anything about upping a stat.
Dpayne: Yeah healing and stat upping are the same limit.
Aden: Nor did I say heal yourself.
Dpayne: Discplines are not however.
Dpayne: At least in my game.
Devereaux: I use Celerity, heal a point, and stab her in the weak spot twice.
Aden: Well, if Derek will allow it.
Dpayne: So you get 1 point for turn for healing or stat raising.
Dpayne: And then you can spend what you need on disciplines.
Dpayne: That will net you a pretty steep multi action penalty Vinny.
Devereaux: Then make it once.
Dpayne: Healing tacks on a penalty when coupled with more than one action.
Devereaux: Ok, nix the healing
Devereaux: Four stabs.
Dpayne: So you can stab twice with a penalty.
Dpayne: Heal and stab 1 for no penalty.
Devereaux: I'm gonna hack this bitch up.
Aden: Fuck healing, just stab the shit out of her.
Devereaux: I'm going to risk it.
Dpayne: I don't think you have a big enough dice pool to perform that action.
PingYu: I'm wondering if stabbing is even better than throwing.
Devereaux: I thought I was using Celerity?
Dpayne: On!
Devereaux: And wouldn't get penalized for multi-actions.
Dpayne: Oh rather
Aden: Stabbing is Strength+1, throwing is Strength-1.
Dpayne: Okay yeah you won't be penalized then.
PingYu: Yeah, but what's his melee versus his athletics?
Devereaux: Wait then
Devereaux: Can I pump up my strength then get my stab on?
Devereaux: Celerity, roids, three stabs?
Dpayne: You can raise your strength 1 point but it will take one of your celerity actions.
Dpayne: Same if you heal a point.
Aden: It's not a separate action to raise your
Dpayne: They both provide you with the same thing.
Devereaux: Well, I'll get 4 actions.
PingYu: Yeah, raising doesn't cost an action.
Aden: According to the book, stat raising isn't an action.
Aden: Only healing is.
Devereaux: So I can heal one per turn and then do Celerity and get 4 actions?
Dpayne: Really, okay then it won't.
PingYu: You didn't make me take an action before during the werewolf fight.
Dpayne: Healing would take one of your actions though.
Devereaux: But I can't up strength and heal, correct?
Dpayne: You can raise your strength a point and hit four times.
Aden: Vinny, raise your Strength, then use Celerity and stab four times./
Aden: Do that.
Dpayne: Or you can heal and hit 3 times.
Devereaux: What Jason said.
Dpayne: If you use celerity.
Devereaux: I'm just going to murder this bitch.
Devereaux: SUUURAROTEEEE!!
Dpayne: Alright roll 4 rolls to hit difficulty 7 (dex + melee) -2 die on each roll because of injuries.
Devereaux: roll 7#d10
dicebot: Devereaux rolled 7#d10 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}
Devereaux: roll 7#d10

PingYu: Shit. You have a high melee score.
Devereaux: I want to roll my specialty.
Devereaux: For that 10
Dpayne: Roll specialty
dicebot: Dpayne rolled specialty --> error: malformed expression
Devereaux: roll d10
Dpayne: Before doing next attack
dicebot: Devereaux rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{1}
Devereaux: guuuuuh
Aden: baka ...
Dpayne: You don't get a botch.
Dpayne: So don't worry.
Devereaux: roll 7#d10
dicebot: Devereaux rolled 7#d10 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}

Devereaux: Do I roll that specialty?
Dpayne: Yes
Devereaux: roll d10
dicebot: Devereaux rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{9}
Devereaux: Fuck yeah
Dpayne: Nice
Dpayne: Alright damage
Dpayne: So str+1+extra successes-2 (I'll roll it I'm just typing it to remind myself)
Dpayne: roll 2#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 2#d10 --> [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
Dpayne: roll 5#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=5 ]{5}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}
Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=7 ]{7}
Aden: I don't think it takes -2, Derek.
Dpayne: For injuries.
Aden: I know.
Dpayne: That would certainly affect your ability to do damage if it affects you ability to hit.
Dpayne: My question, is does it affect the roll to soak damage.
Dpayne: I suppose so.
Dpayne: roll 2#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 2#d10 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}
Dpayne: roll 4#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 4#d10 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=5 ]{5}
Dpayne: roll 2#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 2#d10 --> [ 1d10=8 ]{8}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}
Aden: The damage penalties only apply to action rolls.
Aden: It's not like it's a multiple action to roll for a hit then damage.
Dpayne: So you don't think the results are part of the action?
Aden: The number to the left of the lowest marked box indicates your current dice penalty. As your character gets more and more
Aden: battered, it's increasingly difficult for him to perform even the simplest of tasks. The dice penalty is subtracted from your
Aden: dice pool for every action (not reflexives such as soak) until the wound heals.
Aden: Wait, here it is specifically:
Aden: Note: Dice pool penalties from health level loss apply only to actions. They do not apply to purely reflexive dice pools, such
Aden: as soak dice, most Virtue checks, or Willpower rolls to abort to another action. If a character is Wounded and suffers more
Aden: nonaggravated damage, he may still soak with his full Stamina (+ Fortitude, if he has it). The health level penalties do apply
Aden: to damage rolls for Strength-based attacks, but not for mechanical weapons like firearms. Ultimately, this rule must be
Aden: adjudicated by the Storyteller and common sense.
Aden: OK, you were right.
Aden: But it doesn't affect soak rolls.
Dpayne: Alright well that'll be the case for the next two damage rolls.
Dpayne: Actually it would be the same in this instance because he's hitting a weak point I even made a note about it.
Dpayne: So yeah the results would be the same.
Dpayne: roll 4#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 4#d10 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=7 ]{7}
Dpayne: roll d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled d10 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{4}
Dpayne: roll 2#d10
dicebot: Dpayne rolled 2#d10 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}
Dpayne: Lucky bitches.
HarveyMilk [biscuitbut@hide-E164C225.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] entered the room.
Aden: Suck my dick, Harvey Milk.
Aden: Unnng... it's sooo goood...
Dpayne: With blinding speed Devereaux flies at Sinclair and it appears almost as if four Devereaux's are attacking her at one time stabbing the same weak spot in her chest, Sinclair lets out a gasp as Devereaux leaps back and then begins scream wildly as her carapace begins cracking and the flesh under begins to bubble and boil.
Devereaux: So ... beautiful ...
Dpayne: Blood starts pouring from her mouth and eyes as she screams, "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN, I HAD SO MUCH POWER, HOW COULD A WEAKLING LIKE YOU KILL ME!" soon her shell shatters and in milliseconds he bubbling flesh overflows and she explodes raining blood and gore all over the room.
Dpayne: The resulting explosion causes a sort of reaction, and yet another door to a passage appears behind where Sinclair once stood.
Dpayne: Over.
PingYu: Shit
PingYu: Can we play out of order now?
Dpayne: Yes
Dpayne: Combat has ended.
PingYu: I clap and enter the room. "Very well done."
Aden: I fall to my knees in despair. I'd come to this room to die... now I don't know what to do...
Aden: Over.
PingYu: Over.
Devereaux: I lay amidst the rent flesh and viscera, my body mangled.
Devereaux: Over.
PingYu: I'll inspect Barrett's body.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: He appeards to be in torpor, but his injuries don't seem so overwhelming that this would be the end for him.
Devereaux: I want to increase my strength to five with two more blood points.
Aden: I grunt and groan, pick myself up back to my feet; my eyes are tearing up with blood. I limp to the passage.
Dpayne: That won't last until the end of the scene.
Aden: Over.
Devereaux: I don't need it to.
Dpayne: In fact I'm not actually sure how long that would last.
Devereaux: Will it last ten seconds?
Aden: Is Devereaux about to kill me?
PingYu: I hope he's not about to kill me!
Aden: Well fuck that, I'm already in the passage!
Aden: And I shut the way behind me!
Aden: So go to Hell!
Dpayne: you cannot shut the way.
Aden: I damn well do it!
PingYu: I'm waiting for what Vinny is trying to do.
Dpayne: I'm going to let Vinny raise his strength to 5 and perform his action.
Devereaux: Oh, I move the goddamned heavy table from the original entrance.
Dpayne: Because honestly I don't want a hissy fit later that I forced you guys into a certain conclusion.
Dpayne: Okay you don't need a strength of 5 for that.
Dpayne: 4 would suffice.
Devereaux: Then that's fine, whatever.
Devereaux: I wanted to chuck it into Sinclair's face in battle but I got smashed.
PingYu: I'll leave Barrett behind and follow Aden.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: With a little pushing and prodding you manage to get the table out of the way.
Devereaux: I weakly limp up the stairs to the original room with the blood fountain.
Aden: Fucking powergamer.
Devereaux: I need to heal, nigger!
Dpayne: Yeah that's not going to happen Devereaux.
Devereaux: Fine
Devereaux: Devereaux has a lapse in memory, looks around confused, then pushes the table back into its original place.
Dpayne: Anyway you have 4 or 5 blood points and your fine.
Dpayne: Now the table is moved I needed one of you to do that eventually anyway.
Devereaux: I follow Aden because why not.
Barrett: am I going to be needed in the next ten minutes or so because I have to go eat dinner.
Dpayne: Go ahead.
Barrett: thanks.
Dpayne: Aden wanders down a long winding dark passage, a few minutes into it the way becomes lit by blue fire and all of you feel a strong sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Dpayne: This is a dark and horrible place, but the three of you trudge on.
Dpayne: Eventually Aden you see the end of the passage opening into what appears to be a large cave area lit with blue torches.
Dpayne: In the center of the area you see a circle drawn with blood with strange ruins written around it.
Dpayne: You still can't see all the room yet however.
Dpayne: Over.
Aden: I continue forward without hesitation, listening... listening...
Aden: Over.
PingYu: I follow him.
PingYu: Over.
Devereaux: Same.
Devereaux: Over.
Dpayne: You finally see the back of the cave area and resting upon the throne appears to be the very same horned man all of you have encountered at least once tonight. His eyes appear to be closed and he does not make a move.
Dpayne: Over.
Dpayne: The three of you see the horned man's mouth move as he seems to speak to Aden, "Drink".
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux: I stay motionless, trembling in the presence of the horned man.
Devereaux: Over.
Aden: I limp forward, very slowly, until I'm at the throne. I touch his shoulders with my hands, squint at him, mystified.
Aden: I mouth the words: "Who are you?"
Aden: I pause for any kind of response.
Aden: Over.
PingYu: I stand in slack jawed amazement.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: "Call me, Dominic..."
Dpayne: Over
Aden: I remove my gloves for the first time in years. My hands are old, and scarred, from when I desperately, futilely tried to guard my face from the flames over a century ago.
Aden: I press my fingers into his wounds, rub my skin with his blood.
Aden: I cry.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: Again you all hear the voice now powerful and booming.
Dpayne: "Drink and burn the world."
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux: I fall to my knees at the sound. It's overwhelming, and I feel weak.
Devereaux: Over.
PingYu: roll 5#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=9 ]{9}, [ 1d10=1 ]{1}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
Aden: I force my good eye open, look behind me at the two of them, desperately.
Aden: Over.
PingYu: roll 5#d10
dicebot: PingYu rolled 5#d10 --> [ 1d10=4 ]{4}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=3 ]{3}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}
Aden: I extend my fangs.
CalvinT [chatzilla@hide-87E9CA7C.cfl.res.rr.com] entered the room.
Dpayne: Alright message me what you want to say.
Aden: I push his head back, exposing his neck.
Dpayne: Carmella's voice seems to echo in the cave
Dpayne: "Aden, don't give in... You're stronger than this."
Aden: I scream.
Dpayne: "I'll always love you, but you mustn't do this."
Dpayne: Over.
Devereaux: "It's pointless ... this whole world is gone ..." I mutter, frightened tears welling up in my eyes.
Devereaux: Over.
Dpayne: "DRINK!" echoes loudly again.
Aden: No.
Aden: I can't.
Aden: I won't.
Aden: I don't deserve this.
Aden: I retract my fangs, release his head.
Devereaux: roll 4#d10
dicebot: Devereaux rolled 4#d10 --> [ 1d10=10 ]{10}, [ 1d10=2 ]{2}, [ 1d10=6 ]{6}, [ 1d10=4 ]{4}
Dpayne: "YOU WILL ACCEPT YOUR PRIZE, ADEN! IF NOT NOW, SOMEDAY, AND WHEN THAT DAY COMES THERE WILL BE NO RETURN OF CARMELLA YOU WILL JUST BECOME ME!"
Dpayne: There is a furious flurry of laughter as Dominic suddenly becomes engulfed in blue flames.
Aden: I stumble backward in shock. I fall to the ground.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: The pyre burns wildly for a few moments before waning and disappearing.
Dpayne: There appears to be no sign of Dominic, and somehow the three of you, perhaps with a lot of luck, have stopped the inferno...
Dpayne: For now
PingYu: "Is it finally over?"
PingYu: Over.
Devereaux: I don't move.
Devereaux: Over.
Dpayne: I'll let you guys interact for a bit before epilogues.
Dpayne: Since your characters clearly have something they probably want to say to each other.
PingYu: I walk up to Aden and pat him on the back gently.
Aden: I close my eyes, lie on the ground. I move my hand down into my pocket, and in there I can feel the deed to Carmella's wine shop. And I think: 'No. I won't become you.'
Aden: I raise my hand to ask Ping to help me to my feet.
Aden: Over.
PingYu: I help him up.
Aden: I look at both of them. I wish I could apologize.
PingYu: "It's alright now. It's over."
Aden: I need to go back to the other room. I need to look after the kid until he wakes up. I owe him that much.
Devereaux: I slowly rise to my feet, shoulders slumped, the will sapped from me. I look into the darkness, my eyes unfocused.
PingYu: I suppose I'm the only one that's elated.
Devereaux: I shuffle towards the exit.
PingYu: "What are we going to do about the boy?"
Devereaux: The foreboding sense of impending doom still with me, the pointlessness of my existence made evident.
Aden: I motion for Ping to follow him, before me. Just give me one minute alone.
Aden: Over.
PingYu: I head on out after Devereaux.
Devereaux: Over.
PingYu: Over.
Dpayne: As Aden ponders his fate alone with find this chapter in the saga of Harbor Bay come to a close.
Dpayne: The city itself rocked by these developments losing it's vampiric leaders leaving a power vacuum with no qualified candidates to assume the reins.
Dpayne: What will become of the city is unclear and perhaps the subject of another tale.
Dpayne: Aden determined to resist the temptations offered by Dominic takes up ownership of Carmella's wine shop.
Aden: 'I'll live,' I think. I'll tend to the wine shop, I'll get the boy healthy again. After everything I've done, I don't deserve Hell, and... I certainly don't deserve Heaven. I'll just... live.
Aden: Over.
Dpayne: He takes the boy Barrett with him and assumes a father role to him after he revives from his torpor.
Dpayne: Barrett slowly finds this situation appeasing and begins to lead the semi normal life he was denied by the plotting of Dominic and Vykos.
Dpayne: Out of gratitutde he uses his horrific fleshcrafting abilities one more time to heal the significant damage Aden endured before his embrace allowing him once more to talk and appear as a normal man.
Dpayne: Ping Yu returns to Chinatown to report her success to the Jade Dragon to find his location no longer exists.
Dpayne: She returns to her life of gambling and getting by awaiting her next orders, and hoping that the Inferno never truly arrives.
Dpayne: This continues for quite some time for her until one day when a familiar jade statuette begins to glow.
Dpayne: Devereaux was left significant changed and depressed by this experience.
Dpayne: Losing his carefree hedonistic attitude he loses himself in depression and forced torpor.
Dpayne: Self induced torpor.
Dpayne: He eventually rises from this slumber however with a new determination, he will stop the impending inferno by eliminiting its harbingers Aden and Barrett.
Dpayne: But first he would need power to do it.
Dpayne: He would leave the city, but his return is inevitable and what this holds for Barrett and Aden or Harbor Bay itself only time can tell.
Dpayne: As for Dominic, well, pure evil is rarely so easily defeated and only time will tell.
Dpayne: The End...?
Aden: Well done.
Devereaux: Yeah, that was good.
PingYu: Yes, that was very good.
Barrett: That was awesome
Barrett: Despite my current bitching
Dpayne: Alright final chapter experience.
Dpayne: Everyone gets 4 points, plus 10 for stopping the inferno.
Dpayne: Devereaux and Ping get a bonus 10 points for solving the mystery.
Aden: Aw.
Devereaux: Oh, Vykos and Dominic raised Barrett as the key to unleashing the inferno, but Vykos couldn't do that to Barrett and Dominic killed him for it.
Devereaux: Bonus points ... ?
PingYu: Remember he was going to give 10 points to whoever solved the mystery?
Dpayne: Yeah you guys earned it earlier when you found the diary and pieced everything together in Vykos's chamber.
Devereaux: Oh, sweet.
Aden: So what would have happened if I'd drunk from Dominic?
PingYu: Bad ending, probably.
Dpayne: Although no one seemed to pick up on the fact that Sinclair had diablerized Vykos and assumed his roll with fleshcrafting.
PingYu: SHIT!
Dpayne: So that she could manipulate Vasquez into helping her and Dominic.
Devereaux: Sinclair was probably super powerful from eating so many goddamned souls.
Devereaux: I was totally going to Diablerize her but there was nothing left.
Dpayne: Sinclar was generation 6.
Dpayne: In her monstrous form she had a strength of 8 guys.
PingYu: It's good that I dind't bother engaging her.
PingYu: didn't
Dpayne: Anyway give me a nice one sentence summary of a lesson your character took from this story.
Dpayne: She also had a potence of 2.
Devereaux: Devereaux's near-death experience and the impression Dominic left on him made him realize he was leading a pointless life, and he could no longer find joy in it.
PingYu: Ping has learned about the power of love, and how easily it can be exploited.
Devereaux: Hahaha
PingYu: It happened with Vykos, too!
Dpayne: Barrett?
Barrett: I didn't learn shit because I was dead.
Dpayne: Well anyway the 3 of you get 4 points for what you learned.
Devereaux: yaaaaaa
Dpayne: Barrett gets nothing.
Barrett: Hehe
Dpayne: And you all get 4 points for roleplaying.
Barrett: I learned that Vykos is my true father and sire...
Barrett: Or that Ping claimed that he was and even though I never got around to reading the journal that's good enough.
Dpayne: Devereaux gets 4 for dealing the final blow to Sinclair, Aden gets 4 for a tough choice, Ping gets 4 for heroism, and Barett gets 4 because he poisoned the bitch.
Devereaux: Yaaaa
Dpayne: And that's eperience.
Aden: In addition to the roleplaying four?
Dpayne: Yes
Devereaux: Goddamned, that's a shitload of EXP.
PingYu: So I got 14 + 10 + 4 + 4.
Dpayne: Yeah well the next story might be about who tries to take control of Harbor Bay.
Dpayne: So stronger characters might be a necessity.
Barrett: so has anybody kept track of total XP?
PingYu: I've kept track of my total xp.
PingYu: It's probably in the logs.
BruceWayne: No, everyone is just going to make shit up.
Devereaux: I assume I got the same at Ping, and I had 3 left so 35 EXP total.
PingYu: I have a ton of XP.
Aden: Uh, there's a place to write it down on the second page of your character sheet, dumbasses.
Devereaux: I never got to use my Obtenebration in front of you guys/on you guys.
Barrett: I never spent any XP
PingYu: Obtenebration?
PingYu: Gosh!
BruceWayne: Wow, how did you get that?
Barrett: So I have however much I ever made over the course of the game.
Dpayne: You can also keep a pool of xp with me and use it occasionally on any new character you make.
Devereaux: I acquired it after Aden set me on fire.
Dpayne: It'll give you more leeway with purchasing out of clan disciplines and such.
BruceWayne: Uh.
Devereaux: Well, I acquired during my attempted Diablerie of Vasquez
BruceWayne: That's pretty silly.
Devereaux: Well, it's awesome.
Devereaux: The super awesome orgasm of Diablerie awakened my stand.
Dpayne: He got close to diablerizing a powerful lasombra, I don't see anything wrong about him getting a point of obtenebration out of that.
Aden: I'll send you my final sheets, Derek.
BruceWayne: Just seems weird to me.
Dpayne: Okay also if you guys could send me your chat logs Including private logs.
PingYu: Aden's sheet has changed?
Dpayne: So I can start putting this together to put on the board.
Devereaux: I'll send you what I got.
Aden: I'll spend my experience before we start the next game.
