Oh, I don't think it's that extreme. Really assuming dancrilis made social attributes Isabella's primary, there's still enough to have two dots for both charisma and manipulation. And then there's freebie points too.

You've crosswired a nWoD rule into oWoD there.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that in some oWoD editions - not like there are a few of those - but maybe I was wrong. Oh well .

Edit: Can I try to roll for Benghi knowing/seeing anything particularly disturbing about this "local custom" Lothar is performing? I am thinking perhaps int or per + occult or health knowledge .

By the way, dancrillis, Lothar isn't sneering at Isabella. Luca's sneering about her, but he's not doing so to her face.

Hmm ... the way I read it both were sneering.

I didn't have Isabella reference Lucas's sneer as I figured she would not have noticed it, (although I did think it was sneer then turn away personally).

Yeah, I meant it as Lothar sneering at this beautiful woman in front of him. He's a bit of a pervert. May have been poor word choice on my part, sorry.

The_Shaman, go ahead.

I have a fever, and the only cure is more oWoD!

But yeah, "sneer" has a connotation of disgust or scorn; "leering" would probably communicate your meaning better. It has more to do with the eyes than the lips though.

EDIT: You could also say "perverse grin."

Thanks. I blame my tiredness at the time.

And in response to your question, Lothar has not greeted Marianna and Luca at all yet. Since he personally selected the guests who received the honor of coming to the Earl's manor, I have to make a special post for you.

Oh bother.

I'd hoped that a new noble would be more easily impersonated, but I have my crazy hand ready for whatever you throw at me!

Oh and to clarify: Alenka believes that Celement will die of pneumonia if he's sent out into a rainy, cold night without shelter. That's why she's making a suggestion.

He'd probably get sick in the cellar too. Hopefully, he has a church or something he can crash in.

Clement was expelled from his order shortly after he began criticizing Earl Giovanni. What a coincidence.

But that's all it is. Right?

This horror about the priest reminds me of the last Dark Ages game I was in when our troupe of Vampires rocked up into town and burned the local church down with the priest still in it.

Speaking of this...

@Dark Seeker:

Where should you prefer we look for to get stats for any gear. So that if someone wants to say bring a knife or go bedecked in armor in case Earl Giovanni turns out to be a horrible undead vampire that wants to kill us or something.

VtM 20 and DA:V handle them a bit differently, I also know some other source of gear info are around.

Minor pedantic correction: Solder is a low-melting fusible alloy, while a soldier serves in an army.

Not really familiar with DA, but a friend linked me to a page showing the stats for dark age weapons and armor. They're below, for your convenience.

http://darkagesvampire.wikidot.com/mechanics:armor

http://darkagesvampire.wikidot.com/mechanics:weapons

If you want, we can use them.

Keep in mind Sir Lothar may object if you show up in a full suit of platemail.

Couple things.

@The_Shaman: Luca was trying to strike up a conversation with Benghi. If you don't feel like talking, that's cool, but just so you know that the option is there.

@dancrilis: *blink*

Virtuous? She just let a sleaze lick her hand and gave him an easier time of it. She's about as virtuous as Borat.

dancrilis, I'll let McStabbington reply before I work up a final post for the scene. It really depends on if he stays around.

I must say, I was not expecting this. You may have corrupted the poor Brother!

Everyone else, feel free to post in the current scene. it's a short interval, then you'll be arriving at the manse and things will really start to get interesting.
