Fandom Vampire: The Masquerade: Chapter 3: Setting Aside Grievances

Birdsie said:

(Remember, this exchange took place in under 10 seconds.)

Your blades meet each other for a brief moment, but with a contest of strength that lasted only a second, you managed to push away the hunter's sword and followed it up with a very small, hinge slash at his lower torso, which just managed to get in between two plates of armor.

You follow it up with another, this time, much more precise slash aimed at the very base of his weapon. The intention of the attack was to disarm him. For what it was worth, your attack nearly grazed his hand before it was blocked by the other sword and he followed it up with a slash aimed at your face. The very tip of his sword scratched your left cheek, leaving a very small, red wound on your otherwise pale face. Thanks to your vampiric healing, the wound disappeared into your soft flesh almost instantly after being given to you.

3 AP to spend. This time you guys have a bit more liberty, since he's not doing anything particular in this turn.
  1. He's out of balance. Go for it. Quickly drop your sword to the ground, get near him, and bite your teeth into his neck. You know that vampiric fangs deal a hell lot of bleeding damage when used as a weapon, and can be very deadly. In addition, the searing power of your Kiss will disable him momentarily, as the euphoria of sucking someone's blood, or being sucked for that matter is nearly orgasmic in nature. (-3 AP. +55% vitae on success. 1d100 to win, with difficulty above 55. Severe consequences on loss. All or nothing gambit.)
  2. A brief, random slash of your sword. (-1 AP.)
  3. Thrust your sword forward through his defenses in an attempt to stab him. (-3 AP.)
  4. Swipe your sword a little bit over his shoulders in an attempt to quickly finish him off via decapitation. (-4 AP. You will simply have one less in the next turn. Incompatible with all other options.)
  5. Slash at a specific body part. (-1 AP. Can put in one more AP to make it more precise and powerful.)
    1. Left leg.
    2. Right leg.
    3. Right hand.
    4. Left hand.
  6. Attempt to disarm one of his weapons. (-1 AP. Can put in one more AP to make it more precise and powerful.)
    1. Right sword.
    2. Left sword.
    3. The cross on his neck. Just to make sure he doesn't try anything nasty.
  7. Use a discipline. Which one?
    1. Auspex.
      1. How?
    2. Dementation.
      1. How?
    3. Obfuscate.
      1. How?
  8. Write-in.
Health: 100% (bar will disappear next turn as it is full.)
Vitae: 55%

Fuck it. Ninjas take all or nothing risks all the time. So shall we. We attempt to bite the fucker.

And hey, if we don't kill the limey bastard, and we also survive this whole experience, we could make him into a ghoul. A professional vampire slayer under our service(and ONLY our service) is a VERY useful tool.

I doubt it. To ghoul someone, they have to drink your blood. We'd have to slip him a bit of ours into his wine or whatever. Hey, actually, that's not a bad idea. Y'know, catholic hunters having a sermon and all that? Slip them in some of your blood into the blood of Jesus (aka, wine,) and who knows, maybe they'll just find a new lord to serve?

You drop your katana, slightly surprising your opponent. Within half a second, you yank your mask off, revealing a face of terror -- smiling with your fangs out. Spontaneously, your hands grab onto the hunter's shoulders. You wrestle with him for half a second before your head moves close and you try to sink your fangs deep into his neck. [Roll 1d100. Outcome: 92, major victory.]

To say you drank his blood is an understatement. You sucked him dry and killed him within seconds, satiating your thirst to the fullest without necessarily succumbing to the Beast Within. He was quite healthy too. The blood tasted very good. It was a high-quality product. You regret killing him so quickly and not enjoying it for a bit longer.

You push the dead hunter's corpse away as your fangs slightly detract back into their sockets. His dead body lies limp on the floor, his skin now very white and pale, and his eyes unmoving. He was dead. The two, little holes in his neck didn't even have streaks of blood coming out of them. You have literally devoured all blood in this man's system within seconds. He was extremely dry, both metaphorically and literally. One's thirst for another's.

You give a mean look to the hunters around you, your mouth was clean, however, upon smiling at them, you reveal crimson red teeth. The wide ear-to-ear smile terrifies them. A vast majority of the hunters run away, and those that remain...

Well. They don't pose much of a threat to you.

~~~~

You reported back to the Prince. You've told him all about your discoveries, as well as the lack of sympathy the Gangrel Primogen showed toward your plight. Impressed, the Prince promised to provide you with a steady income for eliminating an average, yet deadly hunter organization. [Backgrounds added: Resources 2. Relationship with the Prince improved by 5.]

In addition, over the next week, rumors of you spread around the city; Aran the Bloodthirsty. Indeed, it is rare for a Kindred to defeat a hunter, especially alone. This is furthermore impressive considering that the Prince only asked you to find out who has his weapons.

Pick one Discipline to augment through training.
  1. Auspex.
  2. Dementation.
  3. Obfuscate.
Pick your adventure for the next chapter. (I have the actual adventures written down. Only names are available to you.)
  1. Making A Point
  2. Setting Aside Grievances
  3. Spaghetti & Corpses, Boss
  4. Path of the Splendid Crane

Hmmm I would kinda agree but we have to get rid of the cross first, because if we try to do an all or nothing gamble he may just skewer us with holy magic.

A Ninja must always be cautious before taking such a gamble. Besides we should weaken him first.

So my vote is... NVM we just fucking drank him dry...

Hmmmm for Training maybe 1. But not sure. If someone has a better one and explains their choice I'll probably agree with it.

Chapter.... I kinda like 2. So that's my vote.

3-3.

EDIT: Obfuscate.
We're a ninja.
TURN ON YOUR BRAIN EVERYONE?
 
Training, 3. Definitely a useful ninja trait.
Chapter, 4. We are a ninja, and that chapter sounds the most ninja-like!

You have spent the last week practicing the Way of the Ninja, or as it is more commonly known, the Obfuscate discipline. Obfuscate is a very useful discipline. Once activated, it grants you a sort of... cloak, so to speak. People happen to look away when you pass by. Shadows stretch to cover you. You seem a bit... invisible. In general, Obfuscate is a discipline used to hide your presence. It is very useful to someone of your skills. That way, you can deal with any problem in a discrete manner.

Speaking of which, there has been a problem in the city lately. The Prince sent you the details over email. Since the problem didn't concern him personally, he saw no reason to use strict, specific security measures for this issue.

And the issue? Well. To put it bluntly...

...

Zombies have been rising from their graves in the Keystone Memorial Graveyard. The Prince sent his men there. Currently, 3 Kindred and 3 Ghouls, all fully armed are guarding the graveyard and making sure no rotting corpse gets past the stone walls. To make sure no mortal hears the growling of a flesh-hungering, decaying monster.

Your goal? Find out why this is happening.

Yes, this is a second time the Prince entrusted you with an investigation. He seems to assume that just because you're a Malkavian you have superpowers that give you magical foresight. Then again, he is a Tremere. It'd make sense he, who knows a lot about the magical nature of the vampiric condition, would see value in you and your fellow clan-mates. You in particular, since everybody needs a ninja.

The question is, where do we begin the investigation?
  1. Go to the Keystone Memorial Graveyard and question those guarding the place about any clues.
  2. Contact the Malkavian Primogen for advice. For all his mental derangements, he is actually wise when he's not paranoid.
  3. Blame it on the Giovanni. If it has anything to do with corpses, it's always the Giovanni. Goddamn necromancers. Can't they last a few months without accidentally spilling spiritual energies over Camarilla territories and making the undead rise?
    1. Tell the Prince about your conclusion.
    2. Go to the Giovanni stronghold in Los Angeles, knock on their door, and literally accuse them of this to their face.
    3. Infiltrate the Giovanni stronghold to confirm your suspicions and see what the Necro-incestuous Mafioso Romans are up to.
  4. Write-in.

This all feels to neat and easy. It's almost like someone wants us to blame it on the Giovanni, as it's clearly their fault. But it's to easy. Our time as a vampire ninja has taught us a few things about the world hidden behind the Masquerade. There is no such thing as coincidences, things are never as easy as they first seem, and if a hooker is only asking for a few bucks, she's clearly got an STD.

After we got more money, we had gotten one of those new fangled Nokia's. So, using that, we'll call our super kawaii desu oni-chan senpai sensei Malkavian chan while heading over to the graveyard.

Wow, you figured out that it weren't the Giovanni instantly. I commend you.

We can just call him with our sweet new Nokia cell phone while we head over to the graveyard, though. Two birds, one phone.

You slowly arise from your coffin. Night for night, this is your routine. You sleep in a coffin in your bedroom, because if you slept in your bed, the sun from the window would kill you while you slept. You look out the window itself and see the sun has set, probably a few minutes ago. The city is now falling into darkness. Darkness. The domain of a ninja vampire.

Either way, what were you supposed to do tonight? Ah, right. The zombie crisis. First, you decide to call sensei and ask him for a professional opinion. You take your phone from your desk and dial his number...

...

...

"This is Grofhurst! What is it?" his voice had a hint of aggression in it. Good, old, paranoid, OCD-ridden sensei.

"Sensei, I have been tasked with discovering the cause with the zombie crisis."

.... Rambling....

... He's rambling quietly, on the other side of the phone.

"Yeah, well, let me know how that goes," he says, then hangs up. BEEP!

I did say: He is wise when he's not paranoid. Clearly, this wasn't the case tonight. Whatever! You can do this yourself.
