Do I assume you automatically use Iron Will to resist Dominate?

[Sethaniel]

Yes to both.

And he'd have to sniff the ground like a dog to maybe have a chance of following the trail.
You can't track something through scent on the air, it disperses.  Could maybe tell general direction, but not with all the buildings inthe way.

[Daedalus]

Yes to both.

uuh, you obviously dont know much about dogs. Depending on how close the target is, wind direction etc. Etc.

If its a old scent, then yes. You cant. Though sniffing the ground should still be a option though only for a few hours. Maybe more, depending on the weather.

[Drakilian]

There goes Steeple, activating the next event ahead of everyone.

It's an event that everyone's supposed to be present for too!

[Drakilian]

Haha, two successes and two ones, Charmed Existence just saved Kiril's ass (for resisting the Presence).

[Drakilian]

See Seth? I told you not to waste your luck until an actual fight happened!

You got no successes on the first summoning attempt, you can try again though (Summoning Arms of the Abyss doesn't cost actions, just blood).

[Sethaniel]

Haha, two successes and two ones, Charmed Existence just saved Kiril's ass (for resisting the Presence).

It was worth those 7 points ^_^

Trying again!  If I only get 1or 2, trying again!

[Drakilian]

Okay. I rolled before you answered, you got 6 on this one, haha.

[Daedalus]

What clan does the pronce belong to?

I want to know if i should sell seth out or not. XD

[Drakilian]

Ventrue. One of your mortal enemies. XD

You can't, asshole xd you don't know what happened, you weren't there.

[Not Aman]

Venture, looking at the neonate's disciplines. Probably not selling Seth out since A) supposed to be a team B) you know nothing about it, lol

[Sethaniel]

Forge specifically said held ric was keeping himself out of the way of misguided attacks!

He specifically said so.

 plot armor.  Farking plot armor. 

standing around waiting for you to transcribe the script out of the book. Since everything's already been decided.

[Drakilian]

Oh, this isn't Plot armor - I rolled for all of that.

Forge said he would keep himself out of the way of misguided attacks by standing several feet away from you guys. The shroud you created and summoned the tendrils from are several feet away from you guys (as Roland rushed forward after it was formed).

Heldric would have to move past the shroud (which would be blocking the entire alleyway) in order to see what was happening - so he moved past it, still staying several feet away from the fight, but close enough to intervene. You summoned tendrils from the shroud to attack Roland - and Heldric was directly between the two - how could Heldric know that the tendrils would come through the shroud? You could have summoned them from other places and he doesn't know your skill with Obtenebration.

He wanted to stay far enough away that wayward attacks (like sword blows or fists) wouldn't accidentally hit him, not far enough away to avoid sudden tendrils being summoned from out of nowhere, several feet away from the combatants and from behind him.

[Drakilian]

When a character has plot armor, i'll probably let you know (because it pisses me off as much as it pisses you off, and if I can i'll try and rewrite the story to get rid of it) - don't complain about it otherwise.

[Drakilian]

Oh, and the only thing actually scripted about that entire encounter was you guys meeting Roland, him trying to bribe you, and him running away if he got into a fight (which was initially supposed to be any fight, but which I changed since the entire group wasn't present). So calm the Fark down there Seth.

[Sethaniel]

But you're assuming heldric moved past the shroud, you never told him the shroud was blocking the alley.

Forge did not know his character was standing between the shroud and Roland.

And I never said I was summoning. From the shroud that time,  that was the first time, when it was on his head.    I could have summoned them from Other places.

[Drakilian]

The alleys are narrow, you guys were at a dead-end and Forge wanted to see the fight. Didn't matter if I said he had to go through or not, he would have gone through (though yeah, I should have described it).

You said it's where you wanted to summon the tendrils from the first time, I went with the assumption that you were going to do it again since you said nothing to the contrary. You're supposed to specify where you summon the tendrils from.

Yes, you could have summoned them from other places. You didn't.

[Sethaniel]

And he specifically said heldric was taking care to avoid shit like puddles.  He should have been warned about a (you never said how big) cloud of supernatural darkness that he had to go around.

[Drakilian]

The clouds summoned are uniform sizes. He wouldn't be physically capable of going around it, it was go through or no dice.

[Sethaniel]

So you decided for him that he walked through a cloud of magic darkness, just because forge said he wanted to see the fight?

[Forge]

At the moment, it doesn't seem like he would stand behind the guy... But I don't care, let's get the story moving.

[Drakilian]

So you decided for him that he walked through a cloud of magic darkness, just because forge said he wanted to see the fight?

The choice was be a part of the game that is happening at the moment or don't be a part of it, yeah, I thought he'd walk through the Farking cloud.


Look, Seth, if Forge has a problem with how I described the situation and if he thinks his character would have done differently, then i'll be happy to re-do that entire goddamn round.

At the moment, it doesn't seem like he would stand behind the guy... But I don't care, let's get the story moving.

Even if he'd stayed to the edge of the wall, some of the tendrils would have struck him and pushed him forward, breaking his obfuscate (it was a narrow alley).

If he'd gone through the shroud, it was inevitable.

[Forge]

Let's assume he gets hit by some or all, while he is being commanded, wouldn't they then move against the guy anyway though?

[Drakilian]

Tendrils don't get more than one action per round.

Not an actual rule (there's no rule saying how many actions they get), but it's how Seth played it in Whitechapel and i'm inclined to agree (they're already quite strong enough).

[Sethaniel]

Well, if you (forge) don't care either, whatever.

It's just frustrating, feels like We lost a fight because We had incomplete/incorrect information about the scene.

I mean, am I going to have to ask you fifty questions before every action I take In order to get you to tell me pertinent information that would affect my decisions?

Yeah, I believe we also ruled they act whenever the controllers intitiative is.

[Drakilian]

Yep, their initiative

I can describe how that fight would have gone to you if Heldric wasn't struck by the tendrils if you'd like me to :p

The tendrils rush forward - with his Auspex Roland will more than likely hear them whistling through the air and push further forward right up to the wall (while dragging Kiril with him), out of their range.

Heldric, having somehow avoided the tendrils, appears. He strikes Roland - and likely does no damage, as Roland's fortitude and Stamina is larger than Heldric's entire damage dice pool

He then mesmerizes Heldric, who will then attack Kiril as he did before, right as the group appears. Roland then vanishes, unwilling to take that fight.

The only difference in events would be that Roland wouldn't have the necessary time/actions punch you in the face before talking to you. Obviously a very unlucky roll on his part would mean that he wouldn't notice the tendrils coming at him, but if you count on unlucky rolls you'll always lose. Heldric ends up mesmerized in every case (even if he spends willpower), and then Roland ends up running away in every case. You didn't lose the fight (he left before it really happened).

By the way, Heldric recognizes that the man used Vanish from Mind's eye (Obfuscate 4) just now. He probably hasn't gotten too far, but no one has remarked on his appearance so far so they probably aren't able to see him.

It also means that he almost certainly heard Lucien's comment just now, as well as Anton's.

[Sethaniel]

Auspex lets you hear shadows now?  Since when has darkness been audible? XD

[Daedalus]

Ever since someone made them solid

[Drakilian]

Auspex lets you hear shadows now?  Since when has darkness been audible? XD

He wouldn't hear the shadows, he'd hear them disturbing the air (since the tendrils are solid - they have to be in order to affect others things).

And yes, Auspex lets you do that. Heightened senses is awesome (since it gets progressively stronger the higher your Auspex rating is).

[Daedalus]

And reply to Lucien and Anton already, i want to know if Lucien gets to play with Kirins face or not!

[Sethaniel]

And reply to Lucien and Anton already, i want to know if Lucien gets to play with Kirins face or not!

I'm working on it! 

[Daedalus]

And im working on your face! 

[Sethaniel]

Turning his gaze onto the Nosferatu, Roland does not recoil with horror - perhaps he does not see what Heldric is?

His magic auspex lets him hear darkness and know heldric is cainite, but not that he's a nosferatu. XD

[Drakilian]

Heldric has a 5 in Obfuscate, that's a really high rating XD

You only need Auspex 2 to read Auras though.

[Sethaniel]

So Roland only saw Heldric's aura, not Heldric himself?
(this is an actual question, not a sarcastic one)

[Drakilian]

(this is an actual question, not a sarcastic one)

Yep, Heldric's facade stayed in place (even if his Obfuscate 2 power broke). He still looks like a perfectly normal, plain person here.

You can hide your aura if you are completely hidden (as they need to see you to see your Aura) or if you are using the Obfuscate 6 power Soul Mask.

I think there's also a Vicissitude/Obfuscate/Auspex combo discipline that lets you change your aura.

[Drakilian]

Yep - Soul decoration, lets you change your aura for a certain number of nights, need Auspex 2, Obfuscate 2, Vicissitude 3

[Daedalus]

Yeah im going to have him learn obf. 2 for that later on.

[Sethaniel]

Yep - Soul decoration, lets you change your aura for a certain number of nights, need Auspex 2, Obfuscate 2, Vicissitude 3

There's another one too that changes your aura. Veronica had it.  I don't remember exactly what it was.

[Drakilian]

Maddening Halo? (Drives anyone looking at your aura mad).

[Drakilian]

For Fark's sakes will someone ask her her name already? XD

(She's not mortal, haha).

I'm getting to it!

Edit: There.  edited it in

our characters does not know that. And when he do find out he'll apologize. ^^

Not a vampire either, mind you, but not a mortal (if she was a vampire she'd have never been up on that stage).

Mage!
