Wait, did Andreas punch Heldric or the assassin? What happened to forge

Drakilian · « **Reply #706 on:** December 15, 2018, 08:40:12 pm »

Andreas punched the assassin.

Heldric got blindsided by something else

Drakilian · « **Reply #711 on:** December 18, 2018, 08:27:17 pm »

Both Anton and Saladin have the most fascinating reasoning here. There are an unknown number of enemies with bows and poisonous arrows, so let's fly upwards into the the killzone they've set up where they'll have an unimpeded view of us.

I would also mention you're ignoring heldric but, to be fair, Forge said he cloaked himself before opening the door so you actually would have no idea that he's there

Not Aman · « **Reply #712 on:** December 18, 2018, 08:31:35 pm »

Hmmmm

How bad would it be if Anton broke into a house? Could he do it right now?

Drakilian · « **Reply #713 on:** December 18, 2018, 08:36:33 pm »

Anton could break into pretty much anything pretty easily with the tendrils he's got on him right now.

As for bad, it wouldn't be great but depending on how this all ends up going down a lot could be forgiven.

Not Aman · « **Reply #714 on:** December 18, 2018, 08:37:08 pm »

Is there cover in the street?

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #715 on:** December 18, 2018, 08:52:29 pm »

Edit - Steeple boosts dex, not str.

Drakilian · « **Reply #716 on:** December 18, 2018, 08:54:13 pm »

Some wooden stands, tarp covers that serve as shelter from the rain, might even be a cart or something you can duck under. As this is Venice there are also canals that you could conceivably dive into and hide underwater in, which would be pretty easy actually, since you don't need to breathe, and water would make any projectile fire useless even if they were still able to see you somehow.

Forge · « **Reply #717 on:** December 18, 2018, 09:12:11 pm »

Also a newly opened door...

Cos yeh I cloaked before calling out lol

Daedalus · « **Reply #718 on:** December 19, 2018, 03:06:04 am »

To be fair, i was going to use his telekinesis to make a barrier around him, But maybe that wont work? To push air from different angles hard enough to make a solid barrier?

Drakilian · « **Reply #719 on:** December 19, 2018, 10:11:16 am »

So Steeple’s mercury one isn’t nearly enough for him to reach the assassin from in the sky (path 1 is only like, 5 or 10 meters), but I can write it to work pretty easily anyway so i’ll accept that

This isn’t possible under the normal system (and to be honest neither is deflecting knives like you did with Anton) but it should be and we’re already favouring rule of cool so i’ll allow it. It would only lower the number of dice hitting you by 5 though (your telekinesis dots), you’d still be getting hit with arrows, just arrows at -5 damage.

I like what you did with it though - thanks!

Next time, I'll have Steeple drop out of the sky and teleport just before hitting the ground, sideways, into an opponent. How would that work out?

Drakilian · « **Reply #723 on:** December 19, 2018, 04:53:54 pm »

You would both take the same amount of damage, but that isn't necessarily a bad plan if your durability is significantly higher than your opponent's, or if you have marble skin from Protean 6

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #724 on:** December 19, 2018, 04:56:33 pm »

Can Steeple use Aura perception to 'see' through the shadows?

Drakilian · « **Reply #725 on:** December 19, 2018, 05:28:42 pm »

Aura perception would let him know instantly if something is a shadow (or if it has an obfuscate rating higher than your Auspex), but it wouldn't let you avoid the dice roll penalty that nightshades give you.

Now, I don't know that Steeple would have the knowledge necessary to make any of these decisions but these are the following ways you could get rid of a nightshade summoned by a Lasombra (That I can think of with Steeple's toolset):

The nightshades, much like the shrouds and the tendrils, can only be summoned within eyesight. Out of eyesight the Lasombra can still command them to do a specific action, but will be unable to guarantee that they do exactly what they are supposed to. That is to say, if someone is running away and they leave your sight, but you have a shroud floating after them, you can make the shroud move forward, but you can't guarantee that the shroud will move at the same pace as the person, that it won't pass over them and continue moving forward, or that if the person turns around a corner the shroud won't turn the corner itself. The nightshades are sticking to your flesh right now but if you were to teleport again, unless the person commanding the nightshades has vision of you, the nightshade wouldn't be able to stay on your person, as they would no longer be attached, and would just swirl in place.

It's the same with the tendrils. Even if the Lasombra isn't within eyesight, he can still order the tendrils to attack and restrain whatever they are attached to.

Alternatively, all Lasombra shadows are extremely vulnerable to sunlight and fire. Steeple could set himself on fire (not recommended), or summon a fire elemental to cover his body in flames without burning him, both of these run the risks of rotshreck but would destroy the nightshade.

Steeple could also walk out into the sunlight (not recommended).

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #726 on:** December 19, 2018, 05:40:05 pm »

Ah, good to see option haha!

Drakilian · « **Reply #727 on:** December 20, 2018, 12:06:52 am »

Did... did you just toss your half dead blood brother at an insane Lasombra being possessed by the soul of the ancient assassin he devoured?

Forge · « **Reply #728 on:** December 20, 2018, 12:22:39 am »

Yup...

Hedric thinks he is screwed either way so distraction and hope Andrea's just gets bashed aside which he can survive then stab the guy with poisoned arrow...

Daedalus · « **Reply #729 on:** December 20, 2018, 07:31:25 am »

Uh, damn. So much for getting off easy because he's my sire. What are the options available to Saladin? I just dont see anything i can do without smashing the houses around him with telekinetic force. And i'm not sure im even able to do that, with Saladins entrails on the floor

Daedalus · « **Reply #730 on:** December 21, 2018, 08:41:50 pm »

How did Steeple restrain the shadow and cut it with one arm?

Did he jump up and hold the shadows with his legs? Because i can totally picture Steeple doing that

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #731 on:** December 22, 2018, 08:58:42 am »

Lady Z & I are too old to be killers (unless we are the highly successful type who have never been caught ) and anyone can see our real selves on EliteTSD.Com.

You have met Drak face-to-face and lived to tell the tale, so at least we know he won't chop up his gaming buddies and stick them in the freezer.

Forge is a Medical Professional, so we can totally trust him, even if he brings his bag of scalpels, bone saws, and other medical implements with him to cabin con.

That jus leaves Killa, who is obviously the serial killer among us, because he has been to the Philippines and has the word "Killa" in his username in a reverse phycology way of trying to throw off suspicion.

Wow, harsh. I'll have you know my body cellar has been clean for weeks now, and what happens in the Philippines doesn't count!

I'm banking on Drak, playing the long con by allowing Aman to live and lull the rest of us into a false sense of security.

But yeah, I actually wouldn't be against something like that. I've done a few in person dnd sessions with buddies of mine and the they were a blast. I imagine it's even more fun with people that have attention spans longer than an hour and actually know what they're doing lol.
