Anyway, removed last post - bring on the mayhem then...

whoaah. Sandor is awesome.

Way of Fire 5 + Way of Spirit baby.

But he must be exceptional in Way of air aswell, to be able to fly and all.

Also, Lucien will exhange letters with the rest of the coterie between the main campaigns if possible, exhanging plesantries and asking hownthe ruling of their cities go. He may not like all of them, but keeping up with his allies is important. He will have dinner parties aswell. for the mortal nobles and cainine alike.

Damn those pesky Botches.

Damn, failed your frenzy roll on second try.

Drakilian · « **Reply #208 on:** May 16, 2015, 06:28:10 pm »

On the bright side, there are those two dots of Celerity Steeple got for me to play with.

Drakilian · « **Reply #209 on:** May 16, 2015, 06:33:00 pm »

Now, you do get the chance to direct your actions with willpower rolls, and given your very high willpower you'll probably succeed for the most part.

Drakilian · « **Reply #210 on:** May 16, 2015, 06:34:06 pm »

Also, hats off to you guys for managing to get this badly screwed before the sidequest even really began XD

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #211 on:** May 16, 2015, 06:34:38 pm »

All I wanted was to try out my Clinging of the Insect in the one and only scenario in the entire chronicle where it would actually come in handy.

Drakilian · « **Reply #212 on:** May 16, 2015, 06:56:56 pm »

It's totally a useful ritual! And Steeple will have the opportunity to use it again.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #213 on:** May 16, 2015, 07:33:19 pm »

Steeple needs to get a box of spiders then...

Steeple: "SOMEBODY TOSS ME A MOUNTAIN GOAT, QUICK!!!"

Wait is Nadia a ghoul or vamp?

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #217 on:** May 16, 2015, 07:56:54 pm »

Still a Ghoul.

And I can foresee no possible complications with your plan to fix Steeple, none at all.

(Should have thrown him the goat).

Forge · « **Reply #218 on:** May 16, 2015, 07:57:49 pm »

Yeh, if there was a goat...

Will vamps stop frenzie if they get some blood?

Three things can stop the Frenzy:

1. Steeple being left alone for a long enough period of time

2. Steeple absolutely gorging himself on blood (About three humans worth).

3. Steeple being beaten into incapacitation.

Also, I was expecting you to send Andreas into the slippery blood patch with the frenzying vampire (also known as a deathtrap), not for you to go in yourself too. That should be interesting XD.

Note that all grappling rolls would be made at 10 in the patch, and the difficulty to break out would be lowered to 4 for the person breaking out, raised to 8 for the person holding on.

Looks like 1 or 3. What about staking him?

Forge · « **Reply #222 on:** May 16, 2015, 08:28:36 pm »

Yeh I didn't think the penalties would be that bad. Time to drain him before he gets free.

Then Heldic can go mad and Steeple can cause the plague...

Basically made the ritual have the exact opposite effect as intended, it's uber slippery. It's why Steeple wasn't even able to get up, haha.

Drakilian · « **Reply #224 on:** May 16, 2015, 08:44:52 pm »

Err, he's still going to be frenzying if you guys drain him of all his blood. Only difference is he's going to be a lot hungrier...

Also, Berka, can you do me a favour and have Steeple act more bestial and furious? He won't be having sufficient control of his faculties to formulate sentences the way he did in your last post, think "vocabulary of a beastman"

Forge · « **Reply #225 on:** May 16, 2015, 08:45:35 pm »

Let's both go edit!

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #226 on:** May 16, 2015, 08:48:46 pm »

OK, Editing.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #227 on:** May 16, 2015, 08:51:10 pm »

At least Steeple is also -2 to grapple back with you guys.

Forge · « **Reply #228 on:** May 16, 2015, 08:54:34 pm »

Yup, sadly I am wreaked after an 11 hour drive so didn't think the situation through there lol although seeing your partner suddenly spout blood and start to frenzie would put you off your game too so I think the responce is fair.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #229 on:** May 16, 2015, 08:56:54 pm »

Yeah, guess we'll have to try storming the mines again the next day.

Meanwhile, from within the mine, the bad guy's are scrying on the team and are like -"Wha? Dufug is this shit?!?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #230 on:** May 16, 2015, 08:58:30 pm »

Anyway, got to retire for the night - good luck pummeling Steeple's face in haha!

You can still try again today. Though it would be a hilariously bad idea (for reasons I can't tell you).

Well, that too.

While i'm not updating today, took a second to write out the Abyss Mysticism ritual i've always dreamed of that gives wings:

Quote

Wings of the Fallen:

Within the depths of the Abyss ancient creatures long forgotten by man and Cainite alike lie imprisonned, their torment has long filled the dark realm. Yet the incalculable powers of these beings is nothing to the Abyss, and the mystics know the strength they hold over them. Thus they take the wings of the Fallen as their own, and in the world of man their prey know terror as only the demons of old could inspire it.

System:

The Cainite uses the Obtenebration power Nightshades to summon two shadows from the Abyss that will form into a pair of identical wings on his back. He then uses the Obtenebration power Nocturne to summon a shroud to give his wings substance. Then calling on the dark power of the Abyss, the Mystic spends a willpower point to have the wings take on a semi-solid consistency that will allow the vampire to fly as if they had the Flight discipline (Rank 5).

The wings are always black and feathered, when flying they produce no sound and when attacked any weapon will simply pass through (except for fire, which will burn the wings and destroy them within 3 rounds) and sunlight (which destroys the wings instantly as per any normal Obtenebration effect - the merit Strength of Shadows does not apply here, though Fortify against Ahura Mazda works normally).

The power lasts for a number of hours equal to the user's Obtenebration rating, and can be stopped at any time before it's duration runs out.

If used while in Tenebrous Form the wings do not manifest as such but merely allow the vampire to levitate itself as a rapidly moving cloud of dark smoke.

Side Effects:

While under the effects of the ritual, the Cainite gains the Harbinger of the Abyss, Hand of Hades, Light Sensitive and Animate Shadow flaws. In addition, whenever seen in a mirror the cainite appears as a withered husk with broken, skeletal wings (as per Death's Reflection, with the winged caveat).

1. Ooh! Free XPs!

3. Meh, I've seen worse
4. TPK
5. TPK (with table flip)

Do the Kupala seem like a proper threat?

If so, i've done my job!

If not, well, they exclusively deal aggravated damage, get an extra automatic action per turn, have the ability to possess others, possess mind control, and can spend Rage to take another extra action on top of the automatic one they have, so that'll be corrected soon enough XD

Really though, there's a reason you guys were brought to such a remote location, and why only one fleshcrafted slave (who was quickly killed) was brought - Vozhd would have just been possessed (If you think a normal Vozhd is bad, imagine a Kupala Demon Vozhd) and others would have been corrupted.

So as of right now, the Kupala's options for possession are basically "Tree, and whatever animal wasn't scared off by that big-ass storm Sandor summoned".

Daedalus · « **Reply #249 on:** May 21, 2015, 09:00:20 pm »

and there came the table flip!

Now update again! I want to see how Luciens attack against the greater demon plays out. Using its own speed against him when he swipes at its leg!
