Vampire The Masquerade / Re: Transylvanian Chronicles OOC 2
« on: September 22, 2018, 10:55:17 am »
Honestly, I'd have to look through the setting notes again to really get all the details, but given Seth leaving I would just have his consciousness be subsumed entirely by Husayn after Husayn sees how weak and twisted Kiril was becoming. Something along the lines of "You aren't worthy of being Basilio's son"
Barabus stuff is too spoilery for me to reveal
Honestly I wouldn't even be all too opposed to continuing, I just wasn't sure if you guys would even want to given it's been a couple years since my last update and I would have to basically fudge the end of this chapter, basically retcon Kiril's participation by having Husayn take over and leave, and bring us up to the next one.

The main problem i'm having is just Seth's disappearance. Kiril is an extremely intensive character to play and RP correctly given that he's also Husayn, has one of the most important/complex mortal characters (Barabus) as a servant, and is prince of one of the most important cities in the setting. His character also has a critical role to play with the Assamite faction.
And him leaving the game actually Farked me super hard because I also have to RP Kiril as well as everything else now, and if I don't then all the characters i've built and associated with him, especially Barabus, will fade into the background/out of the game altogether.
It's just so much to keep track of at this point, and i'm sure you guys noticed but it was getting to the point that each update was taking me 1-2+ hours, and that was AFTER I just started fudging rolls to make things cooler/less stressful to keep track of (which i'm also sure you all noticed)

If it's deja-vu it would have to be as soon as he insisted on asking for the owner to show up after asking for the price right? Then I guess like when Sarapheen tried to destroy it it would be something along the lines of "Wait, didn't I already do that? Then mom... oh shit get the Fark out"

A pawn for the angels or a pawn for the demons.
At least the angels let me keep whatever's left of my soul.
What the hell's so good about being on one side of the fence anyway? Angels can't go to the dark realm, and demons to the light. When they get even stronger they can't even get to earth. When they ascend they go into absolute light or absolute darkness. Seems like they're just making their worlds smaller and smaller at the cost of their own personal goals and pleasure.
Seems awful, to obtain all that power and become incapable of using it outside of the worlds inhabited solely by your own faction. One that your enemies cannot reach.
What must it be like for the greatest of demons, I wonder, to be such malevolent creatures trapped in worlds where they cannot kill? For the angels, with their godly power, to be trapped in worlds where they can only watch misdeeds be done from afar?
Must be a lot of in-fighting and resentment all around. If Sarapheen knows what i've been up to like my mother is implying then they might even be desperate enough to keep someone like me on the team if I'm doing more good than bad.
"You can't really expect me to believe that you thought a group of angels would really sell you a demonic legacy did you? Let alone for as little as a million, when you're also contacting them through a corporation well known for being run by demons. That was never going to happen.
I would have had no way of getting the heart myself either short of killing each of the other disciples and escaping with it, and if you wanted me to do that you would have approached this a little differently I imagine.
You knew this meeting would happen the second you made that call," Killer says, dropping the cheerful act.
Is she stalling? Maybe the heart can only turn back time a certain amount and she knows how long that is.
She's trying to force you into a choice
"You're pressuring me right? Tell me you know i'm on the fence, come in here with a gang of demons and schoolgirls, I have the slow hungry kid and the arrogant ass I don't even like that much on my side, team's split and the angel's missing, we can kill these two and walk away mother and son, demonic legacy in hand, everything's sunshine and rainbows right? You probably even have a plan to get the two halves of my soul back together don't you?
Or I could stick on the edge of the fence i've been on and see what my odds are like.
Not much of a choice is it?"
Killer smashes the heart against the floor. For now, to see how far back it will take him, and whether or not his mother and the others notice that time turns back.

"Well, demon's aren't supposed to be nice, but look at my wonderful mother, surrounded by hell's most benevolent entourage, the very image of kindness itself!
It's a rather strong lesson in the dangers of stereotypes."
Killer considers sending a prayer to Sarapheen but quite frankly she would just be destroyed the second she appeared.
If only Emend's mentor could teleport as easily as her, he might be able to help them deal with this lot.
I might not be the strongest mage out there but even Sarapheen, an angel, can't match me in Life spells. If they can stop mine from even going off I either got exceptionally unlucky or we've been massively outplayed.
We got too arrogant. We needed Beats, without him there's no escape route until I get better at space magic.
You still have a way out
The heart? I guess. Actually, maybe...
The heart undoes any series of actions that would end in its destruction. It's said to save its owner's life 9 times - I assume the owner takes it into themselves and the heart replaces theirs. Then whenever the owner dies the heart is "destroyed" and undoes the actions that led to his death.
Perhaps I could achieve the same effect by destroying the heart the second they threaten us? Their threat would lead to me destroying the heart. Even if the heart doesn't recognize their actions as the initiation for its destruction, I could stick us into an unending time loop, or until the heart is destroyed. Or maybe once the heart realizes I won't stop it will start pulling us further back in an attempt to save itself. It would be a matter of endurance between the three parties.
The heart leaves the destroyer with the memories of what led to its destruction. If it tells me in advance that my mother would show up to this meeting I can avoid it entirely.
Now the question is whether or not the heart can adapt to the situation, or whether or not my mother knows its powers enough to work around it.
Worst case, the heart has to have a limited amount of magical energy. It might even be massive beyond my imagination but it's still an item. Eventually it will just be destroyed and i'll keep mother dearest from getting her hands on it.
While he's thinking, Killer pulls out the case again.
"So as I take it, you're interested in this?" he asks, taking the heart out of the case.
The second he detects any sort of magic he will destroy the heart, knowing from Sarapheen's initial attempts that it could be physically destroyed.

Kill her
For a second Killer can't tell whether the urging came from Saint or himself, perhaps both - since they had split he had never felt more perfectly unified with his kinder half.
Almost as if urging him to move on the action, Killer can feel his magic being more responsive - like it was on the verge of bursting from his fingertips to rend flesh and bone.
Calm down. We're out-manned, outgunned and in a public place. If we're lucky they won't want to risk the paradox and take the heart by force.
She's done too much
Yes, she has, and i'll know that better than you ever will.
If she's anywhere near as bad as Kark was-
Then she'll pay for it. Later. I don't want to die Saint, not here, and not like this.
Turning his eyes back onto the woman who used to be Theresa Moreau,Giles Killer speaks up.
"Well, it seems like I was wasting my time. No need to get personally acquainted when I know the buyer so well already."
Smiling,Gi Killer looks to his companions and gestures towards his mother, "Isaac, Usdi, this is my mother Theresa. I'm so glad that you two are able to make her acquaintance, even if it's just for a business transaction."
Looking back at Theresa, he gestures for her to join them.
"Of course, how could I ever refuse my dear mother?"
He enacts a silent casting of Lizard Brain to trigger her maternal instincts as he does so - mostly to see if it would work, or rather, if she was even human enough to have a maternal instinct left to manipulate.

Killer leans down and picks up his own briefcase and opens the lock before sliding it across the table to Mr. Swane.
"Here it is."
Killer secretly prepares a puppetry casting if Swane or anyone else decides to try and make off with the item, as unlikely as that would be.

"Well then, you can confirm the authenticity of the heart but if your client wishes to buy it I will have to insist on negotiating with them myself. I'm not one for mysterious, impersonal transactions involving such rare and prestigious artifacts."
9 lives? Maybe another way to destroy it would be to kill its current owner 9 times?
Worth a shot at least. If it works we can even hold onto it.

Killer waves off the offer, confident that Usdi would be ordering more than enough to be polite regardless.
He casts a silent life sight just to confirm again that Robert was human
For obvious reasons he was unsettled at having to deal with an agent of a demonic corporation that they were at war with. Even an unwitting one.
All the more so due to his recent magical impotency.
"Of course, I appreciate you meeting us here."
He gestures to Emend, "This is Isaac, he's a co-owner for the antique and will be participating in any negotiations."
He does not attempt to explain Usdi-Yona's presence.
"Will you be verifying the legitimacy of the item yourself? I was under the impression that your client or one of his experts would be showing up to do so."

Sort of, from what I can tell the two final bosses actually scale with your level - with the pre-final being significantly weaker than you and the true final being 1-4 levels above you
Also I was a hella good doctor man until the end of chapter 6 and then I ate everyone with every clue unlocked (it took like 40 minutes of sitting through the kiling animations) and became a god.
Having 120 k+ exp to spend feels really really good by the way.
Thelma best character <3
But for real what killed it for me was the voice acting was legitimately awful, the combat was meh but I was expecting it to be. There were like, 3 good voice actors in that, and they all had so few lines. Elizabeth and the MC were terrible.

I still played it to the max because it had vampires in it and I wanted a vampire game but like all vampire games it's kinda meh. Still waiting on a good vampire game to come out. It has to happen at some point right?

I assume they know we're disciples so I'm not quite sure why they would even call to ask instead of launching an attack to recover it but i'm thankful we've been given the chance to organize.

They must know I'm a disciple, why would they assume I would sell them a demonic legacy? Have I been found out?
Killer starts up the steps upstairs as he speaks, searching for Emend.

Normally Killer would ignore the call - probably nothing but a telemarketer.
But given the circumstances - especially that the number is from Arlington, he answers it - "Hello, who am I speaking to?"
I wonder why they didn't call Emend? Or is it part of the brood?

“I halved their numbers and I would imagine at least one of the big ones is heavily injured by now, some might die on their own. But this is getting exhausting, the radiation that demon left behind is still wearing me down. Emend, can you do anything about it or do we need to leave?”

Killer waits it out. When he senses only one lifeform remaining he’ll begin to cast killing curses one after the other, until he is sure that there is nothing left there alive.

Killer reaches out to the ones fleeing the fight and tries to influence them in tirn, reversing their fight or flight instincts - trying to make them fight that which threatens their lives instead of fleeing it. He suppresses their fear and amplifies their urge to fight (again Lizard Brain).

Nodding in agreement, Killer sits down and concentrates. He reaches out to one of the large golems and begins speaking words of suggestion, hatred, strife and pain. He amplifies the creature's animal instincts - or rather, as many of the creatures inside the golem as he can, demanding it protect it's territory. He amplifies its anger at all life, including that life which surrounded it right now. He amplifies its fight or flight instinct, that its natural response to its constant pain might force it into a fighting state.
He spends a willpower point on the attempt.
If all this is not enough he will even try to use his sword's enchantment to try to force a fight out of the golem.
(Lizard brain on one of the Vozdh, try to make it turn on the other ghouls in range).

"I really don't think we should mess with whatever is in there. Or at least, you shouldn't. I might be able to finish them all off from here but it's still risky if they get any closer."
Pausing a bit then backing up to explain to the others, Killer continues "Have you guys ever seen a kid make a bunch of little things with playdoh? Like little people, or animals? Cows, dogs, a family, etc? You ever seen them mash them all up together into a big ball once they're done playing?
That's kind of what happened down there. I'm not completely clear on the magic behind it but it's more or less like if I went completely insane and started experimenting on raising various animals into human and inhuman forms and fusing them together. Or at least I think they're animals. They're definitely not human anymore if they used to be. I don't think I possess the level of mastery necessary to undo what's happened, and we would need Morrowind or an even greater master to undo the damage to their minds. Would be a lot kinder to just put them out of their misery. I'd guess they're in about as much pain as Miguel was back in hell, probably moreso considering their flesh is still alive. Would be surprised and a bit horrified if the big ones were even still sentient."
"There are twenty four individual... things, and two of the large, golem-like masses of them. As savage and animalistic as they are I could have them turn on each other and then finish off whichever of the two golems wins. Or we could leave them here as bait, the vampires might come back to reclaim them - I imagine it took a lot of work to make them. Might even be able to turn them on the vampires, but I don't know just how strong their control over these things are. We might even consider asking Sarapheen to bring down a greater angel to undo the damage, if they could be bothered. Feel free to consider our options."

(Assuming Robor explains what he's trying to do)
Killer stays by and carefully monitors Robor as he establishes a mental link with foreign entities in the middle of a demonic lair, ready to wrest control of his body away from him if things suddenly go horribly wrong.

"Maybe it was a part of my studies. It's been a while."
With his sword, Killer takes a swipe at both tusks on the statue.

"As much as I hate to agree with him we're in no condition to continue Robor. I used up a lot of energy keeping us alive up until now, I won't be able to do it again. We're all in rough shape after that, walking into a trap wouldn't help. You can take comfort in the knowledge that they will burn all the more for their crimes when we are done with them."
Pausing for a second, Killer looks to the others.
"Say, does anything about that statue strike you as familiar? Something about it felt... well, I recognized the feeling when I came in here. I'm wondering if maybe that heart we got was originally a part of this or something."

I see no reason why this would not work out for the better
You have them all written out in that much detail?
