(OOC) San Francisco by Night II: A Requiem in Fog

Good luck! Don't get sick.

For what it is worth, Erulasto's roll is not a dramatic failure (I had to triple check this). You can only get a dramatic failure with a 1 on a chance dice, which only occurs if your negative modifiers would drop your dice pool to zero. Aisling had Presence 2, with a negative modifier of 1, meaning her 1d10 was not a chance dice.

Kinda unfortunate, because I had a great idea for how to resolve the dramatic failure.

Take the beat and make it a dramatic failure, I want to see this idea of benno's. :)

[Erulasto]

Benno....is it too late to take a beat for said dramatic failure? Hehe

[Bennosuke]

I think now that my cards are partly on the table, I just want to keep things moving. But there will plenty more opportunities to take dramatic failures

[Bennosuke]

Before I reply IC, I want to make sure; it sounds like the plan for now is for the players to meet up, except for maybe Anna who is going to Lady Miho first.

@TC: If this is the plan, would you be okay with running both scenes simultaneously in a sort of time warp just to keep things moving?

Yes I'm perfectly fine with that; Anna will be in both scenes right?

[Bennosuke]

Yes, we would run both scenes simultaneously, maybe the one with Miho in a Spoiler.

I actually have to get some work done now , but will post IC today with both scenes.

The only thing the players could do for me (though I will decide myself otherwise) is where the coterie is going to meet.

[Bennosuke]

Just going to move things along then. Hope everyone is holding up okay with the COVID scare going on.

[Bennosuke]

It looks like a lot of my clinics are being cancelled this week, so my post rate may be skyrocketing over the next few days... for what it's worth.

[Thundercracker]

Think we're done with the Miho scene, unless there's something else to add?

[Bennosuke]

That sounds good to me. Stay safe everyone!

[Erulasto]

Hello from the front lines!

I apologize for the delay in posting the last couple days. I've been working so much OT to help staff our ER during this crazy time. I've actually got the night off - finally - and am trying to get caught up.

[Bennosuke]

Going to let the group keep chatting.

[Bennosuke]

Should I give other players a chance to respond to Anna's statement, or should I just reply?

[Thundercracker]

Should I give other players a chance to respond to Anna's statement, or should I just reply?

Depends on how quickly Gabrielle's response comes and what it is. If there's no reply, or if it's anything but what she asked her to send, no amount of convincing is going to stop Anna from heading over there packing heat, but she'll take whoever else wants to come with her.

[Bennosuke]

Let's just say Anna will hear back before she gets in her car... and as it's only been 4-5 days since her last feeding, she's probably not in florid withdrawal yet.

Ok let me know what her response is IC and we'll play it out. :)

[Bennosuke]

I am letting the conversation IC continue. Let me know if and how you want me to move things along.

[Erulasto]

I'm okay to move things along, though I think we should probably decide how quick we want to deal with Gabrielle. I do think kidnapping her might be our best and most expedient resolution.

How many steps Blood Bound is Gabrielle to Aisling and Anna, respectively?

[Bennosuke]

She has a first degree blood bond with Estella and a second degree with Aisling. She has a second degree blood bond with Anna.

For what its worth, this information is listed with each character in the NPC list on the first page.

Ooh, interparty disagreement, this is getting interesting.

[Thundercracker]

Anna will go for a hunt if there is time, otherwise I’m done.

[Bennosuke]

It looks like we are closing out this scene. Not to delay things, but I guess I will ask for some rolls and double check a few things.

In regards to character plans for the upcoming night, I just want to confirm:

-In the upcoming night is the meeting for all Invictus to choose a new Primogen (Karl and Lillith)
-Karl has a 9PM meeting with the Prince
-Aisling and Alejandro have an 8PM meeting with the Prince
-Anna is going to investigate the hospital with Lady Miho

@TC: Do you want to just give me a roll, or do you want to play out a feeding scene?
@Erulasto: Please give me an Int+ Academics/Occult roll +3
@Daishain: Anything that Karl wants to do before the end of the night?
@Ladorak: Anything Lillith wants to do before the end of the night?

[Daishain]

Karl will likely check in with the English law firm for a status on his nephew and whatever can be gleaned concerning where the police are leaning on the matter and if it looks like they have other suspects.

In regards to your earlier comment. No, I wasn't thinking of Karl just abandoning the MS13 thing. But priorities often shift when there's a changing of the guard, Karl would be thinking that his orders concerning the gang could easily change and had intended to ask about them in the upcoming meeting. Especially since he got the impression half the reason for the orders in the first place was Gorman testing his continued usefulness.

[Thundercracker]

I’ll just roll. Once for tonight and once first thing tomorrow, so hopefully at worst she’ll be one below full. Anna will feed in the Rack for the bonuses.

(6d10)[4][6][4][8][6][2](30)

10 again: (6d10)[10][4][6][1][3][4](28)

Edit: oops, messed up that first roll but at least there’s a success on the second, can we say she’ll be full from that for the hospital scene?

[Erulasto]

Intelligent 2 + Occult 1 + 3

(6d10)[2][10][6][10][9][8](45)

Possible 10-Agains.

(6d10)[8][8][5][5][4][3](33)

EDIT: Wow.

We can just assume that Anna feeds once before meeting with Miho, and recovers the two BP she needs.

EDIT@ALL: Also, I think we will call this upcoming night's worth of activity the end of the scene/play section and will give out some beats and spend some XP. Just FYI for everyone.

[Erulasto]

Hey Benno, I'm ready to move on to the next night.

If you'd like a hunting roll or whatnot to ensure that Aisling does, indeed, show up fed to meet Alejandro then I can totally do that!

Be...what...Dex + Stealth?

(6d10)[5][1][8][1][8][3](26)

[Bennosuke]

Do you want to RP through the hunt? I assume not, but still, I'll need to know how many BP you want to grab.

Sorry everyone, it's been a much busier day off than I expected.

I can, but only if you need filler to keep pace with the others.

I'll double check how many BP Aisling needs in a few.

[Bennosuke]

It's okay. I don't "need" you to. I do think I will include an "intermission feeding scene" soon. I'm not sure I like feeding just becoming a requisite roll to refill the empty tank. I want it to retain some meaning and style as part of a vampire game, but I don't want to slow down the flow of current story lines either.

Let me know how much Aisling is going to take.

[Bennosuke]

Rolling for Karl (5d10)[4][5][7][2][2](20) and 10 again (5d10)[1][7][10][10][3](31)
