"Alright, so down their throats it goes"

Brando moves towards the prisoners, ignoring the vampire. He had to stall though. Brando had tested his leg before doing anything, still limping

He gives each of the almost ghoul prisoners their dose, and turns away. He had to keep his patients alive. Usually that meant staying wary of them, but right now it was about to involve combat

"So...who are you aniway?"

I don't know if Amber got a lot of pots bottles, or one big one that holds for them, but there it goes

[Frosty]

(I forgot, is Brando in human form now? I'm assuming he is)

The vampire, with his unzipped white jacket (with nothing underneath) and a pair of slacks with some expensive european logo, looks positively relaxed. He says, "I'm Jamelle, and I'll be the one who today gets to experiment with how powerful a MAGIC-USING ghoul and a were-animal-ghoul can be. You fools will meddle in my business no longer, and soon I'll have an army to CRUSH my opposition in the house!" There appears to be something bulging in his pants. Either the stories are true about how well the White Court vamps are endowed, or he's packing *something*...

[DukeGod]

(Edit: Yes, human form)

Brando gets closer to Grim and takes his cellphone from him. He tries to stay far from Amber, he really needed this to work

"Look. I don't want to become a ghoul. We can cut a deal. I got a lot of money, I'm sure we can reach an agreement. I'll...I'll...tranfer you about a hundred grand as sign of good faith okay? Let me get my bank account"

Of course, he lies. Instead, he quickly writes a text message to Aria.
"Jamelle vampire making ghouls. Ambushed us at warehouses. Plans 2 destroy Raith. BRING HELP" aaand sends it.

In case he doesn't buy the lie, he just writes as quickly as he can and sends it off before he can be shot. He should be able to take at least one shot

I'm not sure if I need to roll to lie. There's no skill trapping to lie apparently. I'll go with Presence (Good +3)
(4d3-5)[4]
I need some Fate Points ¬¬'

"Soon you'll be dead and your plan will fail, unless you surrender. You already had to run away once, this time you won't be running away." Amber states calmly. She knew she was low on energy. "Aside from me being here, we've got a bunch of other Wardens in the area. The second fighting starts they'll sense it and be here as soon as possible."

She glances at the prisoners then back at the vampire. Her orders were to free the captives, but if she could stop this vampire here it would end it all.

[Starbin]

Grim glanced back and forth between the groups, grinning to himself. "I guess I lost that bet, Warden. I would have never guessed they would walk into the trap THAT easily. Who knew they were just like the bad guys on tv!"

[Frosty]

(Before we do anything else, gotta see how the lying goes. And there is a skill called DECEIT for a reason. Roll that Actually, all of you roll Deceit since all of you are lying to some degree.)

[DukeGod]

(My last dice was a 9 (-5 to end in 4)
Sine I have no Deceit I guess that becomesa a 1?)

Deceit roll
(4d6)[1][1][6][1](9) +1
Total: -1 =-=

[Frosty]

As you try (horrible badly) to bluff against the pretty vampire (who doesn't sparkle), a few more *THOOMS* can be heard fromt he next warehouse Dresden is really lighting it up. You do see a momentary look of concern on the vampire's face before he pulls something from his pockets!

Begin initiative! Who has the highest alertness and Speed upgrades?

[Major]

Spoiler

Show

I got a +2 to alertness

[Frosty]

Spoiler

Show

Well, Amber is not going first. I'm specifically looking for people with Inhuman Speed, and comparing their Alertness.

[DukeGod]

Spoiler

Show

In human form my Alertness is +1, and there's no inhuman anything

[Starbin]

Spoiler

Show

well, I posted in OOC, but just to follow suit - Grim has Alertness 5+ and Supernatural Speed

[Frosty]

Grim gets the first action! Grim sees the vampire pull *something* out of his pockets, but it's hard to see what it is. What do you do? Try to shoot it? Try to shoot the vampire?

[Starbin]

Spoiler

Show

What would be the skill check to run over take it from him and run back?

[Frosty]

Spoiler

Show

Well, he is one zone away. you can use a supplemental action to move over there, then attempt a Fists maneuver vs the vampire's Athletics (or Fists, if higher). You would not be able to move away in the same turn, however.

[Starbin]

Spoiler

Show

Well, it might be a little more risky than Grim is used to doing (especially given my rolling), but I think it makes for a cooler-looking move (or attempt)

As the vampire reaches to pull something out, he suddenly glances up to monologue when he realizes that Grim is next to him, reaching for the object he just pulled out.

"Whatcha got there? Is it my precious?"

Spoiler

Show

Okay, here's where cinematic meets the die roller and probably gets donkey stomped! Not sure if I can use any stealth or anything to improve my chances, but here goes my fists (+4): (4d3-4)[4]

[Frosty]

Spoiler

Show

Jamelle defends using Athletics @ +3, but with Inhuman Speed boosting it up to 4. (4d3-4)[4]
It's a tie, so Grim manages to knock the objects out of Jamelle's hand. they look like...small, round, black objects of some sort. You can fit about 3 of them in an average sized hand. Explosives of some sort? You can't be certain in this split second.

(more to come later)

[Starbin]

Spoiler

Show

would my supernatural speed boost my attack, too?

[Frosty]

Spoiler

Show

The "Speed" line of powers boosts all uses of Athletics. This was an application of "Fists" so no.

[Frosty]

"You annoying little twerp! Ghouls, EAT this one! As for YOU, little girl...your magic has been a thorn at my side. Let's see if we can't get your mind onto something else?"

The vampire has a lecherous grin, and stares intently at the warden. Suddenly, Amber's nipples grow hard as all sorts of delicious images flash across her mind. Lots of Mr. Wrongs that look so very much like Mr. Right Now try to do very pleasing things to her in this psychic assault. Can Amber resist the distraction?

Spoiler

Show

Jamelle using Incite Emotion (Lasting Emotion) At Range on Amber, attacking using Deceit vs Amber's Discipline. If this attack matches or exceeds Amber's defense, this is a Weapon: 2 mental attack.

Deceit at Great: (4d3-4)[3]

Does Amber still have her Flustered minor consequence?

[Major]

Spoiler

Show

Yep, mild social.

(4d6)[4][6][3][2](15) +5
Total: 5

Will wait till result before I post since I got an aspect that can be tagged.

[Frosty]

Spoiler

Show

Jamelle spends a FP, compelling Amber's "Frustrated" consequence in order to get a +2 on his roll to match your defense. Do you wish to spend a FP in order raise your defense for Amber?

[Major]

Spoiler

Show

Sadly, no more fate points. Oh boy...and magic already lowered my metal attacks >.>

To clarify since at work, I can't have all my stress boxes filled right? Gotta take a mental consequence?

[Starbin]

Spoiler

Show

Can Grim spend a point to help her? It's kinda like when they first met ...

[Frosty]

Spoiler

Show

You can indeed have all of your boxes filled. You can't go PAST it without getting taken out. Amber doesn't need any external help to stay in the fight right now, but if she takes another psychic hit, she'll be too consumed with lust to fight.

[Major]

Spoiler

Show

Oh ok cool. Wasn't sure if my boxes were "once out your out" or any hit after out. Thanks.

Amber forced a smirk, crossing her arms as if amused but in reality doing it to cover her chest and hide her erect nipples. "You think they'd send a Warden that couldn't resist your charms?" Amber asked amused. However, despite her comment she knew she was in trouble. She was unable to focus her magic while also defending her mind against attacks. At the moment all she could do was talk and keep the guy distracted. With her mind focused on resisting, she was just dead weight here.

[Frosty]

Spoiler

Show

Doesn't Amber have any other attack skills?

[Frosty]

Anyhow, Amber is up next, the the Ghouls, then the good doctor.

[Major]

Nope! I'll have to make a mental note for future games to fix that :P I mean I HAVE weapons +4...but I didn't get any. >.>
