The sky is a soul sucking grey, that reflects the boredom you are currently feeling, on top of this building. The past few days have been boring and relatively calm. You've done little more than sit around your shared room with Maria and helped ms stone with her new "toy", the nun, who has stopped screaming and now sobs and tries to scurry away like a beaten child, disappointing really, you thought she would last longer than she did. So while you do still look forward to your visits to her, you also feel something else everytime you see her tear stained face, a feeling you can't quite place, a feeling of.....remembering something, perhaps?you shake your head free of all the excess thoughts, turning your mind towards the most pressing concern. Which is how you'd get down from here, the door back was locked, and you don't know if your boots would stop you from becoming a broken mess of shattered bones and torn meat on the ground below. You sigh heavily as you get up and begin to think about your next course of actionWhat do you do?[] leap off [] knock on the door[] call for help[] other
>>35348174[] knock on the doorCant hurt to try
>>35348174>[] knock on the door
>>35348174>[x] knock on the door
>>35348174>[] other>Remember how we got up here
You knock on the metal door, and get no response, as expected, really. You sit back down, holding your head in your hands, remembering how you managed to get up here. You were testing your boots out, jumping on gradually higher and higher things, and next thing you knew, you were up here, and haven't been able to get down for sometime, how long exactly you do not know, you may have taken a nap due to a combination of warm food and solitary silence.You sigh heavily, and hear the door creak behind you.You turn and see a boy holding a large coat over his shoulder, and with a rather impressive pompadour staring at you in confusion."Uhh" He says staring at you "Hi?""Hello" You say standing up."What are you doing up here?" He says "I mean this isn't really a popular place to have your lunch"."I could ask you the same question" You say."I dislike crowds and eating with others" he says picking his teeth "Now why are you up here, and what's with the hoodie?""I was just thinking" you say walking past him "And it was a gift""Suuuuure" He says placing a brick to stop the door as you leave "well see you around cat ears". Ok that has to be the same person who picked you up, no two people would have such a silly hairstyle. You walk down the stairs, trying to ignore the peeling paint on the walls.What do you do?[] go to a class[] go back to your room[] explore
>>35348669Why not ask him why he helped us that time?
>>35348713Yes, why not ask him
>>35348669>[] go to a classHaven't been in the explosives class for a while.
>>35348669>>35348733Well, why don't we? Let's walk back in and do it.
>>35348669>[x] go to a class(explosives)
>>35348793Yeah, lets do it
>>35348669>>35348756Why not. It was such amiinor point, I didn't even remember until now. But getting to know more people can't hurt.
>>35348863Ok the way you worded that makes it seem like you meant to click the vote for talking to pompadour bro
>>35348917It was me changing my vote.
As you make your way down the dust covered stairs, a questions pounds away in your head. Why did he help you, he didn't know you, why did he help you back up, it makes no sense. You stop, turn around and begin making your way back up, followed by a soft clicking each time your heels touch the floor. You throw open the door and see the boy eating a sandwich, while sitting on one of the guard rails, you notice he has the same boots as you used to get up here."Why did you help me?" you ask "I don't know what you're talking about" he says with a coy smile"Don't bullshit with me" You say glaring "Why did you help me up when I was running from the poisons teacher". He wipes his mouth with his sleeve, chewing."Seemed like the thing to do, ya know" He says "wouldn't have sat right with my conscious to leave ya there, ya know?" "I guess" You say "But It doesn't make any sense why you would"."I'm a nice guy" He says "and as I said, felt like the thing to do"."I wouldn't have done the same" You say "She could've done you in if she saw you do it"."Neither would most people here" He says with a tone of disgust "and what's the point in living if you run away from everything that can hurt you, ya know?""Ok that I can understand" You say smiling "life is boring without a bit of danger, now isn't it?""Not exactly what I meant, but I suppose that's right as well" He says turning away [] EventThe door swings open, you turn and see an agent, panting from running up the stairs"Layla Miller" She says pulling her mask back to breath easier "Your aid has been requested by Maria Smith on a mission, do you accept her call for aid?". You blink a few times, somewhat confused at all of thisWhat do you say[] yes[] no[] write in
>>35349109>[x] yesOho, has our Maria found her appetite finally.
>>35349109>[] yesI want to see Maria fuck some people up
>>35349109>[x] yes
>>35349109>[x] yesLooks like we might get to meet "Maria"
"Sure why not" You say smiling "Talk to you later pompadour guy"."Later, cat ears" He says waving.You follow the agent down the stairs and through the halls, all the way to building E, catching some rather strange looks.You're lead into the back room, where you see Maria, holding what looks like some kind of high powered rifle. You duck instinctively. The man from last time you were here laughs."It's not like it's loaded" He says giggling."Can never be to safe around her" You say "nearly blown my head off twice, would have if she wasn't such a shitty shot". "Yeah" Maria says smiling before realizing what you said "LAYLA!""Hey it's true" You say shrugging."Well I'll yell at you later" she says "Thanks for coming with me for this"."So you finally got a taste for it then?" you ask."Oh no" She says " I just need to money to repay some....damages to school property and staff"."What kind of damages?" You ask excitedly "depending on your answer I may be in love"."Didn't know you two were a" The man says"We aren't" You say "I just love destruction, specifically when it's on school grounds, like a fire at a dance, now that is something to love"."As disturbing as ever then, Layla?" Maria says with a smirk "Oh, so you were to girl who burnt down half a school before coming here" The guy says "If you were older I'd take you out for some drinks".What do you do[] ask for mission details[] look at what Maria took on the mission[] ask why she needs help
>>35349451>[] ask for mission details>[] look at what Maria took on the mission>[] ask why she needs help
>>35349451>[x] ask for mission details
>>35349451>[] ask for mission details>[] ask why she needs help
>>35349451All three, I guess
>>35349451To drinks guy:>And if you ever built up the courage to ask, I'd drug you up nice and good before leaving you to comfort of the fires as they burn down the building around you[] ask why she needs help
"So who're we going to kill tonight?" You ask. The man hands you the information.A picture of a young looking man with a well groom goatee and a seductive look in his eyes, or rather a painting of the man. A small label reads, Thradrick Brausr, Count of a small region of....a....you can't quite make out what's written there.Reward: a thousand dollars, which must have taken a while for the peasants of the place to gather for this contract.Bonus obectives: find the missing daughters of the town of Brausrburge, Place Thradricks head on a pike Secret objective hint: the cup runneth over with scarlet.Misc. You'll be working together with a student of the guild of the twisted rose, one of our allies, so please play nice.You look at what maria took for the mission, and see she has three items on the small metal tablethe rifle from earliera large and brutish looking knifeand ragged cloak"So why did you need help on this anyways?" you ask as you place the dossier on the table"Well you see" She says "You're better at this kind of stuff, and even though I still think you shouldn't be going around killing people until you heal, I also don't feel safe going alone""But there's a assassin from the rose place coming as well" You say smirking "do you just want to kill people with me?""NO" she shouts "it's just that I know and trust you you, I don't know her"."You trust me?" you ask "for all you know I could be poisoning your food when you're not looking, or something"."Well you aren't" She says "are you?""Not yet" you say smiling. Maria looks slightly frightened"Oh I wouldn't poison my roommate" You lie with a small smile. She seems reassured,and smiles back[] Ok lets go[] lets waits What do you do
>>35350000>[] Ok lets goAssumning we have prepared all our syringes.
>>35350000>[] Ok lets go
>>35350000>First make sure we have our gear togetherthen>[x] Ok lets go
>>35350000>[] Ok lets goAnd now I must sleep, I may wake before the thread is over.
Man.. the anons who are poisoning our roommate with anything but harmless stuff need slapping for lack of self preservation instincts.
>>35350111But no one does that.
>>35350000Get our own load-out straight, see if they'll provide us with any special equipment that we have to return.then>[] Ok lets go
>>35350131>>35350111oh i missed a word.who are for* poisoning
>>35350111We'll only inject her with stuff we would inject ourselves.
"Ok" You say looking through your pack to make sure everything useful is there "Lets go""Don't you need anything?" maria says "Like maybe a gun or something""I don't use guns" You say "to loud and prone to problems, like losing them""Shut up" Maria says looking at her feet."Ok, so you'll be taken to the meeting point before you're taken to the actual mission area" The guy says "So follow me, we have to take a boat""A what?" Maria asks."Oh how exciting" You say following the man "come on Maria".You're lead to a small wooden boat on the beach, and after a wordless trip across the waves, A odd looking ship appears on the horizon. The man grabs some flags and begins waving them in the air.Within minutes you're at the edge of the ship, and some people in lab coats help you up as the man from building e rows back towards the shoreThere's a set of three chairs on the deck, sitting in one is a girl in what looks like modern leather armor, wearing the lower half of a white mask. Her hair is a similar shade to yours, but she wears it a lot shorter, and she's around the same height as Maria"Sit down" she says calmlywhat do you do[] ask her name[] ask her about the mask[] sit down without a word
>>35350377>[x] ask her name>[x] ask her about the mask
>>35350377>[] ask her name
>>35350377>[] ask her name>[] ask her about the maskWhile sitting down
>>35350377>[] ask her name>Sit down
>>35350377[] ask her name[] ask her about the masklet's be a bubbly excited schoolgirl and ask all the questions
>>35350377>[] ask her name>[] ask her about the maskGet in before she asks us about the cat ears
"So what's your name" You ask as you sit down in the chair with three legs, and shaped somewhat like a rose "And what's with the mask"."My name is Val, that is all you need and all you will hear" She says "and the mask, well" She takes it off, revealing a smileless face and a button nose, and the back of the mask, with interact inner workings and what looks like a place to put your mouth."Uhh" Maria says "what is all that exactly, looks complicated and....stuff"."It's my most important tool" She says putting it back on "And you, the one dressed like a small child". You wait a few moments, hoping she means Maria and her somewhat too large clothes"Oh fine, I get it, I look silly" You say raising your arms "But this is also my most important tool, see?""Wait, your hoodie holds syringes?" Maria ask"Yeah, why else would I wear it?" You ask"I thought you just liked the look of it" she says "what do you have syringes in your shoes as well?""No, but thanks for the idea" You say. Maria shakes her head"So" Val says "lets get down to business, how are we going to kill Count Brausr"What do you say[] explosives[] poison[] teamwork[] write in
>>35350646>That depends on the situation we find him in, if we get to him while he is preparing dinner we can poison him, but we might find him behind dozens of guards, in which case we can blow them all sky high, although we were supped to put his head on a pike so better avoid this, but you get the idea.
>>35350646>I prefer to look into their eyes while the poison does its work, but explosions are nice too, what do you like ? *biggest smile*
>>35350646>[] poison>[] teamworkCan't blow him up sadly
>>35350646>Teamwork."Right. I'll go in as a maid. Mask girl, you shadow me. We'll try to learn his routine and maybe poison him. Maria, you stay out in the hills. We'll send you a message on when to snipe his ass, if we can't find a good time to take him out."
>>35350801We should better all infiltrate his home, since we need to find a person there.
>>35350646>[] teamworkthis either way, we can't tell what to do until we know anything about the target and where it is
>>35350877The hint makes me think theyll be in the basement, drained of blood.This seems to be vlad the impailor style here.On the bright side, that might mean he is so old fashioned he has a closet with a shitter chute we can climb up and into his bedroom in.
>>35350646>[x] teamwork>[x] write inLong range shooting with modified rounds.Judging from the hints at >>35350000 , This count is a cheap count Dracula clone, the further we are from him, the better.
>>35350877No, Mask is there to search the place, see if the girls are on-site. While we're learning the man, Maria is going to be running long range surveillance, maybe see if the girls are elsewhere.
>>35350941Maria is a horrible shot, she can't even hit a person in fornt of her, let alone snipe someone.
>>35350966Rifle shooting and pistol shooting are actually quite different. Besides, she's got a scope.
>>35351022If she can't hit a person with a pistol in front of her, she won't snipe anyone with a rifle either, scope or no. I'm willing to believe she could hit someone from a hundred meter away with scope and rifle, but sniping implies something a lot more long distance.
>>35351083You seem to forget that she has this weapon for a reason.And that reason is her opposite personality can probably shoot well.
"As much as I would love to leave the countryside a smoking crater, we need his head intact" You say "And while poison will work wonders, we have no idea the level of security the guy has, so we'll have to work together, gather information, maybe long range surveillance to be safe, need to find a way into his abode, which as much as I want to just walk in from the front door, I doubt we'd live long if we did". Maria and Val look at you wide eyed."What?" You ask"I didn't think you'd be so" Val says "...prepared for this"."Yeah, me to" Maria says "seeing as you like to run at your problems from what I've seen, but it's good to see you realize you aren't immortal""Oh I'm not going to be so careful" You say smiling "there's not fun in playing with loaded dice after all""I made a mistake bringing you didn't I?" Maria asks with a small smile"Yes" You say "but hey, now if I die today, you can avenge me, isn't that nice"."No" Maria mumbles"So, the general plan is to gather information and be cautious" Val says "Seems rather basic, but the best idea we'll get from you two, we'll arrive in a few hours, I suggest you rest while you can". And with that she gets up and leavewhat do you do[] rest[] reenact scenes from the titanic [] search for goodies (roll 1d20)
>>35351189We don't really know her Maria/"Maria" deal yet, I wouldn't go so far to believe its a full blown alt. personality that has skills different from hers, let alone assuming rifle shooting is among them. At least I'm not going to rely on it until we have confirmation for her ability to shoot with a rifle.

>>35351358No one, we choose our jobs ourselves remember ? So Maria picked that one.
"Hey Maria" You say kicking your feet "want to reenact the scene from titanic?"."Which one?" She asks "The I'm flying one, if so then yes"."No I mean the one with the door and the ocean" You say laughing "You'd make a great Dicaprio". She looks at you and shakes her head with a smile."I doubt there's a wooden door around here anyway" she says standing up and walking away "I'm going to steel my nerves and think, feel free to come with me". You stretch and stand up."Nah, I think I'll snoop around a bit" You say walking away "hopefully I don't find something horrible". Maria shrugs and walks away. You search the ship, sneaking around and at one point imagining what it would be like to be a spy instead of an assassin, all the while avoiding the eyes of the people in lab coats.You find yourself in the hold and notice a lot of metal boxes, most of them cold, but ontop of a box, like an offering to a god, is five bulletswith a strange appearance. there's some kind of orange liquid in them in they look like they're used for a rifle. you pocket them, in case Maria runs out or somethingYou get bored or wandering around and sit up on the deck, watching the clouds float by as the sky turns from blue, to a near black grey"We're nearing shore!!" A woman's voice shouts over the intercom "Prepare a rowboat"You notice Val sitting in a chair sipping from something, and Maria appears from a door, rubbing her eyes You all load into a small boat with a motor, and head off, the sea smells of dead fish over here and is a foreboding, sickly greySoon you land on a beach, with more mud than sand, you can see a cottage on a cliff with lights onVal is stretchingMaria is putting on the ragged cloak from earlierWhat do you do[] go up to the cottage[] look around[] fuck around like an idiot[] other
>>35351671>[] look around
>>35351671>[x] look around
>>35351671>[x] look aroundLets see if we can find anything more about that cottage and how many people are in it, before we approach.
You look around., taking in your surroundings.You notice that the coast is covered with cliffs from what you can see, this being a small alcove with a small, worn down pier with one wooden ship rocking on the small waves of the ocean. there's the remains of a much larger ship nearby. Fish are rotting on the ground, decaying as birds pick at them. You cover your nose to avoid the stench. Maria doesn't seem to notice, and neither does ValThe cottage on the edge of the cliff, is a bit larger than Ms stones house/room. it has a straw roof, and is made from stonethere is a clothes line with enough clothes for one person.There is one path out of the beach, up the cliff. It's made out of wood, rotten looking.You can see smoke on the horizon."Ok, ready to head out" Val says "Operation begins now""Hmm" Maria says "right now, can't we prepare or something"."The assassination will begin shortly" Val says "We must gather information"."Oh thank god" Maria says happily "I'm not ready to, you know""You call yourself an assassin?" She asks"No" Maria answers"Oh come on now" You say "You killed, what two assassins in training that one time"."Wasn't me, I already told you" She says glaring at you"Okay" You say "Sorry, but hey, after this you will be one, no matter what". She looks kind of down at the thought of thiswhat do you do[] go to the cottage[] give Maria/val something[] go towards the smoke
>>35351971>[x] give Maria/val something>Give Maria the bullets you found, for "good luck"
>>35351971>[x] go towards the smoke>[x] give Maria the bullets
>>35351971>Look for a possible way to approach the cottage without walking up the wooden path.
>>35351971>[] give Maria/val something, bullets>[] go towards the smoke
>>35351971>[] give Maria the bullets we found>[] go towards the smoke
>>35351971>[x] go towards the smoke
You reach into the pocket of your sweat pants and pull free the strange bullets, trying you best to hide them from Val."Hey Maria" You whisper close to your roommate "Take these, for good luck". You basically force them into her hand, winking as you walk away, watching to make sure Val didn't see the transaction."We should get off this place before anyone sees us" You say."Who would see us down here?" Maria asks following you towards the stairs"You'd be surprised" Val say as she cautiously puts a foot down on a step, causing it to creek loudly."Why didn't we just get airdropped closer?" Maria asks sheepishly "Instead of having to walk up this rickety thing?"Too much attention to be drawn" Val says quickly"And besides" You say "you need the exercise"."Y.yeah I do" She says with a weak laugh as she grips a rail, which falls off with a weak and impotent wet sounding crack. "Ok, don't hold on the sides" You say "don't want you falling off now". Maria nods and follows close behind you, almost grabbing your back as she shakily makes her way up.At the top you can see this place looks like the setting of a bad horror moviewith a creepy forest, long stretch of nothing but overgrown grass and rocks, and a village not to far off from the coast with stacks of smoke rising into the air, as well as a castle on the horizonWhere do you go[] village[] cottage[] forest

>>35352417So ah, about the unarmed skill and sucker punch abilities?
You behind walking towards village. Val wordlessly following, While Maria makes a pathetic noise, that's somewhat cute, if it didn't tear at your heart and soul."So, what are the chance everyone here is verevolves" you say with a horrible accent "What about vampires?""Please don't talk about stuff about like that" Maria says weakly."Oh, I thought you'd love this kind of stuff" You say "You know from all the movies you watch"."It's different in real life" Maria says grabbing her shoulders and shaking "We could actually die"."Not really, and that's the fun part isn't it?" You say "and besides, it's not like verevolves and vampires are real". You hear Val chuckle, which makes Maria whine while looking at you."Poison and explosives solve all problems" You say putting your hands on the back of your head. Maria shakes her head no, unable to speakThere is a worn down dark green painted sign with the words Brausrburge in in chipped golden letters surrounded by ivy leavesyou can see some people milling about and few signs clacking in the wind.What do you do[] torment Maria more[] go look for an inn or something[] see if the speak English>>35352580I'm thinking about it

You walk into the village, ignoring the protests of Val and Maria clinging on your arm shivering like a small dog.You listen into some of the conversations, you can't understand whatever they're saying, they turn towards you and still speak not english."Vut is that you vearing?" A man with a large mustache asks"A hoodie" You reply."Yes ve have those here" he says "but...the ears""It was a gift, from a friend" You say as maria hides behind you "Oh come on he isn't that scary, I mean the large dog next to him is, but still"."Yes, you friend is right, I am not scary" he says "and neither is Vallus, aren't you Vallus, you're a big ol rug of kindness aren't you". The dog sniffs Maria, causing her to whimper slightly, which makes it lick her face. "I mean he's the size of a horse" the man laughs "But he's as harmless as a newborn pup"What do you do[] pet Wallus[] Make Maria pet Wallus[] ask about disappearances [] Look for a store[] talk to someone[] group meeting

The dog sniffs Maria, causing her to whimper slightly, which makes it lick her face. >>"I mean he's the size of a horse" the man laughs "But he's as harmless as a newborn pup"I'm all for not being afraid of the guy but I have second thoughts about this large and curious dude.
>>35353044>[] pet Wallus>[] ask about disappearances
>>35353171Not that anon, but I would put people I don't know under "not-trustworthy". Not to mention we have no idea about the local circumstances, we assume the townsfolk hired us, but we don't know if all of them are against the target.
>>35353044[x] pet Wallus[x] ask about that cottage[x] look for a store
>>35353171I don't think "he must be on our side" is a good assumption to make when it comes to strangers.

You put a hand on Wallus and pet softly, causing the dog to flop down panting."See, not at all scary" The man says smiling "a real push over really". Maria nods, but says nothing"So, there was cottage outside of the town" You say "what's the deal with that"."Why are you asking?" he says closing one eye "and I know you aren't from around anywhere near here"."Me and my friend are on a trip through Europe" You say "And I'm interested in creepy cottages""Only two of you, surely you have some kind of guardian with you no, it isn't safe for young girls to be here alone" He says."There's another outside, she's taking pictures of birds" You say smiling "And what do you mean by that?""Nothing" he says taking off his round almost bag like hat and begins scratching his what remains of his hair "And old Villhem lives there alone, since the tragic passing of his daughter, crazy old man says our ....kind count was the cause, but it was simple sickness, a tragedy, but not a m murder". You can see anger in the man's eyes, burning softly behind pain."Any stores around here?" You ask."None that you'd be interested in" He says"You don't know that" You say"Not much, unless you want food, clothing, or a souvenir". You nodWhat do you do now?[] Maria pet wallus[] go to a store[] go ask around about something[] go visit Willhelm at his cottage[] make sure Val isn't doing something weird

(fuck lost the first draft of this post)"Well thanks for the chat" You say "I need to make sure my other friend isn't being weird" the man nods."Well just stay safe, and find shelter before dark" He says tottering off with Wallus following close behind "and enjoy your stay and Brausrburge"."I will" You say waving a hand as you turn around and walk towards the edge of town "and Maria, I didn't know you were scared of dogs"."I'm not, that just wasn't a dog" she says."Oh if Wallus could hear you right now he'd cry" You say. Maria shakes head"Though I don't trust his owner much" You say"Is it because he looks like bear pretending to be human?" she asks"No, it's the mustache" You say "anyone with that much facial hair has to be hiding something". Maria giggles."Yeah, it looked like all the hair on his head went to his lip" she says."Hey that's rude" You say with a large smile "and probably true" .You find Val looking at the sky."What are you doing?" Maria asks."Watching birds, I thought I'd leave the talking to you two" She says "not a people person"."I can see" you say. Val nods."So what did you find?" she asks,"Well Maria has a fear of dogs" You say "and the owner of the cottage lost his daughter recently"."That doesn't sound important at all" She says glaring."He may know something" you say jogging towards the cottage"LAYLA" Maria shouts running after you "Don't leave me alone""Amateurs" Val sighs Soonyou're outside of the cottage, Maria is panting and leaning against the wallWhat do you do[] knock on the door[] climb through the window[] shout for Willhelm[] other

>>35354046>[] knock on the door
>>35352738>I'm thinking about itWell, what has me confused is that we have beginner stealth from Alex's amazing tips but we don't have sucker punch or unarmed skill at beginner level despite being more experienced at this.
>>35354046>Layla peeks at window and the girls knock.That way we get to see if anything is being hidden and Layla has a way of being not suspicious despite doing suspicious things.

>>35354333We want peope to actually open that door. No one ever opens for door-salesman.
>>35354333Layla needs to get proper language lessons before we can try this kind of lulziness.
You knock on the seaworn door. You hear what sounds like cursing, and the door swings open. And a pitchfork is pushed an inch from your face."BEGONE DEMONS" An old man who looks like her was made out of twigs and stick with a beard touching the floor, shouts "I can see you for vat you are, blood thirsty heathens from hell itself". Maria is staring at him, with a strange look in her eye."You know, you are the second person this month to call me that" You say pushing the pitchfork down with your hand "I just want to know about your daughter"."She's dead, killed by your kin of the night" he says sadly, pointing the pitchfork at your face again "Now leave me before I send you back to your fetid den, beast"."She isn't a demon" Maria says in a strangly harsh tone"We are here to kill Thradrick Brausr, tell us about your daughter, and quickly lest you try my patience". The man looks at her."Two little sheep to the volves den?" He says sadly "Run off little sheep, this is no place for you"."Yes it is" Val chimes in, finally arriving here "As my associate said, we are here to kill that "Man". The old man throws his arms dramatically "Oh voe is me, three girls playing knights charging to there doom" He sobs "Come in and I shall heed your last vish". And with that the crazy old man walks back into the cottage. You follow, Maria taking an oddly time to come in, looking a tad tazed.The man is sitting at a table with two chairs, a plate of rotting food in front of one chair, you can't tell what it used to be"So what do you vish to know about my lost star" He says taking a swig from a large bottlewhat do you ask[] what she looked like[] what she was like[] how she died[] write in
>>35354498>[x] how she diedAh shit, no, Maria pls.
>>35354498>[] what she looked like>[] what she was like>[] how she diedAll of the above.And we might have to go back to the village since I'm not entirely buying the vampire story.
>>35354602Not sure if that makes a difference to us. If he is a vampire, that would be a issue, but if he isn't, then it doesn't really matter does it ?
>>35354498>[] what she looked like>[] what she was like>[] how she died
>>35354627The job is to kill him, but if he is a vampire, I'm wondering if there is a possibility for upgrades here.

>>35354671Well yes, if he IS a vampire, that would make a difference.

"So what did your daughter look like?" you ask"Oooooh, she was a scarlet haired angel sent from above to grace my and my vives life" He says taking another swig "Such a pretty things he was, and that made him want her". He downs the rest of the bottle and grabs another one from under the table"I don't think we'll learn anything from him but how long it takes a live to fail" Val says"Wait" You say "What was she like""THE K..Kindest little shthign" he laughs "she had not a single mean bone in her body, her smile could warm the devil's heart and make a miser give every coin he held to the poor, and now she...shes gone". The man drinks have the bottle and begins to wobble."You're killing him" Maria cries"Don't care" You say "How did she die?". You tilt your head and smile widely. The man places his now shaking hand on his forehead"She...was in the fields, picking flowers" He said "for her sweetheart, A man who I never loved, but he's a nice sort, and the count's men grabbed her and...they took her away...when she came back she was ill and...she". the man looks at you and then the bottle, and drinks the rest of it, placing it down, before falling head first onto the table"Well, that was depressing" Val says"Poor old man" Maria says dragging him to a armchair in the corner of the cottageWhat do you do[] search for clothes to blend in[] pat the old man on his bald head[] leave[] write in
>>35354924>[x] search for clothes to blend in
>>35354924[x] Play physicianWe have a first aid kit and a first aid manual. Medicine is not a specialty here but lets not kill someone who could give us more rewards.
>>35354671I think it is more like Elizabeth Bathory. Hopefully
>>35355011That's my suspicion too. But if he is a vampire, I want to test his weaknesses. And if he is a vampire without weaknesses, then I want in on that.
>>35354924>[x] search for clothes to blend in>>35354987He just passed out drunk.
>>35355056He's an old fart who drank too much and might choke on his own vomit and die.Lets play it safe and make sure he'll live. Won't cost us anything.
>>35355071Just put him on his side and he won't choke on his vomit. it's that simple.
>>35354924Back to the village store I say.Apparently we need clothes. And other items.
You search the cottage, and find a dresser of pretty and flowery dresses, one of which is covered in dried blood."What are you doing Layla?" Maria asks"looting" You say putting a dark green dress with images of roses on the hem into your backpack "You always said to loot everything""Only in video games!" She shouts as she makes sure the old man is comfortable "And those are his last mementos of his daughter, you can't just take them" "I'm only taking one" You say "and besides, he won't notice, he's crazier than Ms stone"."Who?" Val and Maria ask"the poisons teacher, acts like a less subdued me" you answer , Maria 's face turns into a grimace of horror as she imagines what Ms stone must be like."I don't understand anything you just said" Val says grabbing another dress."You too?!" Maria shouts"We do not have any of the regional currency" she says stuffing the pink dress into a small bag hanging on her side."You're both horrible" Maria pouts placing a wet towel on the old man's head.What do you do now?[] try on the dress[] go back to town and ask about something[] forest seems nice[] lets have fun storming the castle
>>35355313[] try on the dress+[] forest seems nice
>>35355313>Look who the dress fits best, you or Maria

>>35355313>[x] try on the dress>Get one for Maria tooWe don't want to stand out too much when we get close to the castleI also get the suspicion the count might be a poison enthusiast like us.
>>35355443this
You take off your hoodie, and put the dress on over your shirt and and sweat pants. It looks good on you, though you're afraid you'd trip on the long hem of it, which wouldn't be good at all. You twirl around, giggling like the schoolgirl you are. You take it off and offer it to Maria, she shakes her head angrily. You stuff it back into your pack and head out. You and Val wait outside for a few minutes, before Maria comes and joins you."So what now?" She asks"We go an ask more questions" You say jogging back to the villageWhat do you ask[] about the count[] about the town[] about the forest[] rumors
>>35355313What >>35355443 says.
>>35355613Lets start with rumors and then step it up progressive in town/forest/count order.
>>35355613>[x] about the forest>[x] rumors

>>35355613>[] about the town>[] about the forest>[] rumorsLets be careful about asking questions concerning the count, people apparently don't like those.
>>35355692I think we should only ask about the count when the rumors give us something to ask him about. Lets not be too suspicious.
Val follows you into town, but quickly breaks off, while Maria sits down next to a building as you go around asking question."Hear anything from the grapevine" You ask an old woman, knitting outside her house."Vell, I heard that hallow girl holding some foreigners bastard" She says smiling a wide near toothless smile."Anything else?" You ask."Vell I heard the count is looking for a bride" A old woman across the street says "about time if you ask me". That could be useful."So what can you tell me about Brausrburge?" you ask a young woman selling bread "it's for a paper"."Vell it vas founded by Thradrick's ancestor, Vallace Brausr, centuries ago, and it's been around ever since" She says "Now do you want to buy some bread?""No, I just ate" you lie."Your stomach says otherwise" She says smiling pointing a piece of bread at you."So what's the deal with the forest?" You ask munching on a piece of hard bread that tastes a bit salty"Do not go in there" the mustachioed man from earlier says "Volves you see, that have grown up on brausrburge blood, nasty beast that hunger for man"."Sounds fun" You say. the man shakes his head"You foreigners sure are suicidal" He sighs What do you do now[] gather the party[] head off alone [] forest

You walk over to Maria"We're going into the forest" You say to her smiling. she stares at you for a few moments."W...why" she asks sheepishly, her eyes wide with fear"Man eating wolves" you say "or at least I was told there were man eating wolves, I want to see one, and you're coming with me". She shakes for a few minutes, before her eyes go blank"Layla" She says, her voice losing every ounce of fear "Lets talk about why you aren't going to go into that forest"."But I am" You say "you aren't going to stop me, and besides it's not like I can't kill a glorified malnourished dog". She gets far too close and stares into your soul with her empty eyes."Won't I now, I think I will" She says "I don't wish you to be torn apart by mere beasts, I will restrain you if necessary". Maria is acting weird.What do you do[] Fine no forest[] make a break for the forest[] write in
>>35356337[] make a break for the forest

>>35356337>>35356383We need her anyway, we aren't stupid enough to think we could deal with a actual pack of wolves by night anyway.
>>35356337>>35356353 changing my vote to >>35356420>>35356514I thought about it. If she's in murder mode she's likely to shoot us and either kill/kneecap us to prevent us from going.
>>35356554She said "I don't wish you to be torn apart by mere beasts, I will restrain you if necessary"Also, she can't murder us with muscle relaxants in her.
>>35356593Assassin school. Murder hobos. This is her murder face. Retrain could easily mean snap spinal cord.Then bashful Maria would just feel so awful and spoon feed us for the rest of our lives... life? Plural to singular is odd. I wonder if the voices in other peoples heads have this problem.
>>35356593I wouldn't be so sure, besides the fact that she has a pretty good point, since without the other two, we probably would be killed by wolves, I'm not sure we could actually get our syringe out and into her. She is a lot stronger than us, and she knows whats coming.
>>35356637Muscle relaxants.Seriously. She can't do shit.
>>35356637restrain*
>>35356651We can't do shit if she just pins our arms. Its not like she doesn't know what we are planning if we try to get our hands into our hoodie.
>>35356640> I'm not sure we could actually get our syringe out and into herIf she's going to try to subdue us unarmed we're just going to jab her somewhere, like her arm.Syringe is a bad weapon against real weapons, but fists and stuff are just presenting targets.
>>35356719Fighting one of our teammates before an assassination... is asinine.Do you really want to jack her up on relaxants before we need her to shoot something?
>>35356737It'll wear off by the time we actually get to our target.And trying to subdue us by force is also rather asinine.
>>35356719We would need to get our hand on our syringes first. Which she can easily prevent.Also, why would we want to anyway, she isn't doing anything right now. We casually threaten her with poisining all the time, its not something to get worked up about in a company of killers. This shit isn't nearly important enough to tear our team apart over.
"Hi "Maria" You say giddily "I've been dying to meet you"."You've already met me, and me" She says "But we aren't going into the forest, it's in your best interests to not even try to run"."Look if you're an evil count where would you hide the daughters you've stolen" You say "in the forest, I know I'm clever, no need to praise my genius""I'd hide them in a cellar, chained to the wall" She says "a forest has wild animals and exposure to the elements, a poor place to keep toys""Look we may find something in there anyways" You say "Who knows what we'd find in there, it's exciting just thinking about it". She stares at you unblinking"Trees, leaves, dirt, and wild animals" She says "I doubt anyone is stupid enough to hide anything of any importance in a forest, unless they needed to bury it from public eyes"."like corpses, or gold" You say "You can hide anything in there, it will be fun come on"."No reason to hide corpses when you have loyal subjects with tight lips" She says "And look at this place, they couldn't afford copper to hide, let alone gold".What do you do[] run towards forest (danger danger) 1d20[] give up on going to the forest for now[]syringe syringe (danger danger) 1d20[] find Val[] write in

"Fiiiiine" You sigh slapping your forehead with your palm "No forest, but if we don't find the girls in the castle, we're checking the forest". Maria smiles, and jolts for a second, she stares at you looking slightly confused. Maria is acting like her usual self once more. You drag the stunned and confused Maria while looking for Val, who you find, sitting on a roof, looking through a strange device."Looking at birds?" you ask ."Oh yes, there are some indigo breasted swallows on that tree over there" She says "And some lazy guards by the east gate getting drunk with a well payed village girl"."Clever" You say"Thank you" She says hopping down."But what if she gets taken!" Maria shouts, causing Val to put her hand on her mouth, shhhing her as Maria's eyes briefly go blank and empty."Then she will die" Val says "but no other girl will follow her fate, which is why we are here"."That's kind of messed up" You say "and wrong, but I suppose if it works we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, come on Maria, may be able to save her if we kill the bastard quickly". Maria nodsHow do you proceed[] all together [] Jump up a bannister (jump boots (1d20)[] dress up with val and pretend to be a village girl[] Sneak in past a more heavily guarded gate (1d20)

>>35357288That makes sense, but the writing could've been clearer on that front.
>>35357288That should be made clear in the text then, since we had other line already before about her showing a vestige of thes things with>also feel something else everytime you see her tear stained face, a feeling you can't quite place, a feeling of.....remembering something, perhaps>>35357310Yeah no, We're cool.
>>35357310Nah, sneaking through the gate really really well doesn't seem worth much.
>>35357310Are high rolls bad in this quest?
>>35357321>>35357334I wasn't thinking much at the time, I'll be more clear when Layla is bullshiting in the future
>>35357364High rolls are fine. Lucky coin makes any roll into a crit, and it turns a crit into a supercrit.Trouble is most of the time a supercrit isn't worth a coin.So we just save them for averting disaster or doing ridiculous untrained shit.
>>35357407>doing ridiculous untrained shitMostly in the event that this would actually be mission-critical.
>>35357407Well would a super crit make the count walk through the gate as we did? Or mean they opened all the doors of the castle because why the hell not?Has a supercrit ever been used? Sorry new to the quest. Don't have time to archive binge.
>>35357432We have only ever once used a lucky coin, which was to avert complete failure, so we don't really have a dimension for what a super crit does.
>>35357432This is only our second coin, and the first saved us from a terrible situation so we're really loathe to use this second one outside of a life or death situation.
>>35357432We haven't supercritted yet. If it gets us all the way to the count it might be worth a coin, but I'd rather save coins so that we could actually have more than one for once. If it seems like we can do it without a coin, spending a coin is usually a bad option.Last coin was spent on averting disaster when we had shit rolls on poisoning the yakuza boss. Autocrit made it a clean success instead of the highly probable death otherwise.
>>35357453>>35357466Understood.
>>35357480In theory it might be possible that we get a situation where we would need a super crit to succeed at all. Someone trying to poison Layla would probably need one for example, that might also work the other way, but we don't know.
>>35357432>Has a supercrit ever been used?We've only had one other crit so far I think, and that's when we were sucker punching someone in close quarters combat class. GM offered us a coin option but we declined because that seemed like a phenomenal waste.
"Follow me" You say "I have a fun little idea". You slowly walk up to the path to the castle, noticing it is a dark shade of grey than the rest of the stone buildings around here. You see the front gate is heavily guarded by men dressed like two bit knights, wielding two bit rifles.There are some bushes nearby, which you lead Maria and Val into "Layla" Maria says "what are you doing"."Watch" You say, before putting on a the poor accent from earlier "VOLVES VOLVES VOLVES HELP HELP!!!". the guards scream something in whatever langauge they speak and run off."I didn't think that would work" You say laughing at the aghast faces of Maria and Val "well lets go""What is she?" you hear Val ask as you practically skip towards the gate"A bit crazy" Maria says "You get used to it in a few days". You shake the gate, locked, but you find they left there keys. You don't show the others"We should go around, they'll be back any" Val begins as you unlock the gate"Wa la" You say bowing as Val glares at you."There's a reason we're called the guild of the lucky coin" Maria says smugly with a giggleYou are now in castle groundswhat do you do[] go through the front door[] Val any way in?[] Look around for the girls [] write in

"Val, Anyway in?" You ask, looking at the large wooden door with handles that look like small decapitated heads covered in gold"Well there's the front door you are fucking with your eyes" She says calmly "A couple of windows, a sewer system, and various side doors"."I think we should stay as far away from the sewer as possible" Maria says."Seems like a plan" You say"But it's the most efficient way to get in" Val says angrily "Every other way would likley end with our capture and death""Two votes against one" Maria says happily jumping up and down."So what do you suggest?" Val asks angrily"Side doors" Maria said "he can't have all of them under lock and key, and it's far more pleasant way in than trudging through waste"What do you say[] front door[] sewers[] side doors[] windows

"Sewers" You say Smiling like the devil himself "Thanks for agreeing with me" Maria says before her ears catch up with her brain "WAIT WHAT, WHY?!" She grabs you buy your hoodie"Because I knew your reaction would be hilarious, And look at this way, there would be no sewers in the forest". Maria glares at you"Show the way then, Val" you say, she nods and leads you to a grate hidden in a corner. She lifts it with a strange metal bar thing"So who wants to have the honors" She says covering her nose"I will" You say taking off your hoodie, and jamming it into your back pack that you then hand to Maria to hold "See you on the otherside". Maria nods at you as you leap down. You shriek in shock at how warm and liquid it is, before realizing that it doesn't smell that shitty down here, and in fact smells like copper"Blood?" You say look at the red river you're standing in, it's to thin to be just blood, must have something in it to stop it from coagulating."Are you serious right now?" Maria says sounding like a kicked puppy "Do you think it's""No I don't think it belongs to the girls" You say "to much of it, maybe animals blood or something". Val jumps in with a splash"Hurry" she says wading off "don't want to catch something"."Come on Maria, the water is fine" You laugh as you follow Val*splash*After awhile of walking you find a grate with a dim light shining throughWho do you vote to go first[] yourself[] maria[] val
>>35358300>[x] yourself

>>35358300>[] val
>>35358300[] yourselfIf vampire is an option we so have to snag that. We'd make a bitching vampire.
>>35358498I cannot disagree with that
You grab the grate, with some help (Maria and Val grabbing your legs and boosting you up) manage to move it aside and scramble up. You look up from the cold and filthy ground and see a silahoutte, with arms outstretched, move to dodge from being grabbedand then realize that it isn't moving, you look around and gasp, in a mixture of admiration and fear. The room is filled with dead bodies, all women around your age, tied to the ceiling via chains wrapped around there bodies, there arms outstretched, their necks and wrists slitted. There are empty but stained bowls under them, used for collecting blood.There are some stairs in the cornerand torches light the room"Uhhh, holy fucking shit" You say laughing nervously."What?" Maria ask sound concerned,"Ve are dealing vith and vampire" You laugh "or someone who thinks they're one".You help Val up and she begins inspecting the bodies, putting needles into them and tapping her chinYou pull Maria up and the second she sees the sight of the drained corpses her eyes turn empty and blank again. Maria is acting odd againWhat do you do now[] why did they use so many chains[] clean up[] leave
>>35358644>[] why did they use so many chains
>>35358644>[x] why did they use so many chainsLet's also strike up a conversation with the other Maria, she seems fun.

>>35358644>>35358644>[x] why did they use so many chains>[x] clean up
>>35358716She just wanted to steer us towards the vampires, we're better as a vampire anyway.
>>35358742Yeah.. I agree. Still miffed though. We would have made a great red riding hood.
>>35358754But then the big bad would would have died of fatal poisoning from ingesting a tainted grandmother
>>35358800I motion we get our mace spray ready.
>>35358856Mace spray sounds good.
Why did they use so many chains?"Why did they use so many chains?" You ask looking at the cocoons of metal hanging from the ceiling."Yeah" "Maria" Says "it's should only take four at max to keep them in place, this isn't normal"."Yeah, it's like they didn't want them moving around or something" You say "Maybe Brausr has a heavy bondage fetish or something""Maybe" She says nodding "Maybe he did it to look intimidating and terrifying"."Well if that's so" You say Smiling "He failed, terribly"."Yep" She says in that weird monotone."What are you two going on about?" Val asks"nothing" you and maria sayYou clean up and put back on your hoodieWhat do you do[] prepare syringes[] Leave the room[] knuckle dusters
>>35358889[] prepare syringes

We have mace.
>>35358924this.
>>35358924It's the most ranged weapon Layla has, so lets go with that.
>>35358889[x] prepare syringes
>>35358983Actually we also have small marbles and Layla has a good throwing arm. We could probably put out people's eyes with those.
>>35359003Not a very good weapon though. We should probably look into throwing knives later.
You set down your pack, giggling madly as you pull out several bottles and syringes.Items gained3 pottassium overdoses3 paralytic injections3 shots of morphine 3 dose of muscle relaxant"Ok ready to go" You say placing the last syringe in place. And then you notice you're alone"They" you say "left me, oh what fun what fun". You grab your bottle of mace and put it in you pouch pocket as you race up the stairs, hoping to not find them, so you can savor this rush.You end up in a hallway, covered in torches and paintings of grim looking depressed people, as well as a pastel blue rug with images of dancing pigs on it, how interesting. You keep walking humming to yourself as you walk along, looking at suits of broken armor and weaponry put on display, all covered in very old blood. You find yourself in the main hallthe floor is marble, there is a large green rug in the center, a double stair case leads to the different wings, a chandelier swings back and forth. And you hear voices coming closer.What do you do[] hide somewhere (write in)[] try and reach the chandelier with the jump boots 1d20 [] sit down and smile like the cheshire cat[] run (also tell me when i should archive)

>>35359116>So keep gigglingNo, that ruins the stealth, but the cheshire cat smile is fine.
>>35359139Appears so. I'm not one to argue with a 20.
>>35359100I can't even imagine what a supercrit of jumping onto a chandelier would be, so no.
>>35359100No thanks.
>>35359148>giggles internally.
You crouch down and leap, flying through the air like some kind of bird, or a character from the shows Maria watches. You grab a hold of the chandelier and somehow don't pull it down as you pull yourself and sit down on it, smiling like the cheshire cat, oh if only your teeth were sharper, may need to get a file and fix that really. You watch as a girl in a dirty T Shirt and one of the guards stumbled around singing drunkenly, You begin giggling at the sight of them, causing them to look around, So you giggle louder and more child like. The begin to rush across, looking around as they do, looking for the source of the laughter as you feel a warmth rise in your chest as they nearly stumble over themselves while you sit up here. They leave, leaving you alone, with your giggles echoing. Do you really sound like that? How odd,, doesn't sound like youWhat do you do?[] jump higher 1d20[] jump down and trail them (aka fuck with them)[] write in

>>35359351Heresy is kind of our thing. I mean shit we're actively considering becoming a vampire if the option presents itself. A Vampire that enjoys burning things to the ground. This cannot go wrong in any way shape or form.
You jump up and once again fly through the air, you don't really know what you trying to reach. You then realize how bad an an idea this was as you hit a walkway with your head, you do manage to land higher than before, on a carpet, laid down on one of the higher floors walkways. Your heads hurts something fierce, but is not bleedingWhat do you do[] morphine (free action) [] Look around[] go into one of the rooms near you[] See if you can see Maria or Val

>>35359392>[x] morphine (free action) Aha! a valid excuse to use it>[x] go into one of the rooms near you
>>35359409This, and we should also breathe, focus on the pain, and try to imagine it flowing away.Then we should focus on the task at hand and look around
>>35359392>[x] go into one of the rooms near you
>>35359441Aye, lets try to recover normally too.
>>35359441That sounds like total bullshit. But I actually have a condition that involves chronic pain and it fucking works at least to a minimal extent.
>>35359392>[] See if you can see Maria or Val
Why are we not looking for Maria and Val?
>>35359441Yep this.
>>35359522They left us behind, fuck them!
>>35359522They're probably fine and or saw a target/objective.If they're in trouble we'll probably run into them anyway. We're looking for the big bad.
>>35359471It usually helps to accept that the pain is there too.Pain is your body's way of telling you "this shit's fucked up yo" so when you focus on your pain and tell your body "thanks I got the message" the message gets a little less loud.I've had fillings done by dentists where I had to do this because for some reason I am nearly immune to anesthesia. Works though. Pain doesn't go away, but it makes the difference between intolerable pain and tolerable pain.
>>35359542That's fucking retarded, Maria is our friend and asked us to help her on this mission and Val is very useful, we'll need both of them to complete this job and get out fine.I bet you wanted to go run around in the forest being a moron while we're on the fucking clock.
>>35359522Because it is more fun on our own!
>>35359587I bet you wanted to fuck around in the forest and shit while we're on a fucking mission.You can do that shit when we're back home, but not on a job for fucks sake.
You inject yourself with a bit of morphine, just a little. And then focus on the pain and imagine it flowing away. After a few minutes it leaves, though it may be the morphine kicking in, or your head realizing you don't need the pain at the moment you can't tell. You look around, feeling a bit floaty. You can see more grim and depressing portraits of the same guy, always look so sour. You Stand up, rubbing your head as you look over the edge, you'd guess you're on the third floor from the height your at, you think, not good with estimation really.You open a door, deciding to look for your friends or maybe the vampire guy, Oh it would be awesome to be a vampire, when you think about it, you always wear a hoodie, so the sun isn't a problem, and Maria would freak out so wonderfully .The room is filled with various devices of torture, two of which you notice instantlya brazen bull and an iron maidenas well as some of the stretching things, and some pointy and rusted forks and prods and serrated knives covered in dried blood . You wish you could take a picture, really. You close the door and turn to continue your search for somethingroll 1d20

>>35359709Good thing QM didn't ask for rolls.
>>35359745>Actually, do we even need to roll for this?Seeing as HM didn't ask for rolls, no we don't need to, why would you assume so when he always asks when we need dice?
>>35359694>>35359694Yes. Voice are always a good idea.
>>35359745No dice were asked for, so apparently we don't.
You decide to follow the noise, since it may lead to something, so you begin to lightly jog, following the voice through dark corridors for a while, not paying much attention to the feeling of dread growing and growing larger with each step, if nothing the feeling serves only to edge you on further and further as you smile wider and wider at the thoughts buzzing around your head. Click clack click clack, you can hear slow footsteps in front of you now.You walk slightly faster and can now hear whimperingOh, Maria is back, she must be very confusedwhat do you do[] run up and shout boo[] sneak up and tap on the shoulder[] walk up and say hello[] write in

You walk up to the shadowy figure of Maria, who looks like she's cuddling the rifle."Hello" You say "How you've been, you left me, no hard feelings really". She shrieks slightly, before calming down."Oh it's just you" She says panting "So where is Val"."You killed her" You say with a shrug and smug smile "just kidding, I don't know, you two left me for a while, so I played ghost a while and got bored, you?""I..don't know" She says scratching her head "So Maria went with Val, and then we got separated at some point"."I guess" you say walking along "Now lets find this vampire, I wish to have parlay with him"."He isn't a vampire, Layla" She says angrily "They....aren't real, they aren't real"."Keep telling yourself that" You say smiling "though you have to wonder about all of those chains on those dead girls, almost like they were being stopped from breaking out, ya know?". Maria shudders and whimpers."Stop that" She says "it's already bad enough"."But it's so fun" You say tilting your head side to side, "and besides, what else am I to do to pass the time until I get to kill a vampire"."He isn't a vampire" She whines.

Who cares about Val, you're sure she'll be fine, and if not well you'll hold a funeral at sea. Or you'll find both at the same time, that would be interesting"Say Maria" You say "can't vampire hypnotize people?"."Shut up" she says quietly "please""Ok, just wondering" You say "because it would suck something fierce if Val is hypnotized or dead"."He isn't a vampire" She says as you sneak past a guard sleeping in a chair. You walk up flights of stairs and through halls, past guards and progressively dark and disturbing furniture choices, some of which look to be made out of people. The walls are slick and the portraits are gaunt and pale. and the carpet is all stained, how disgusting"Know any vampire songs?" You ask."Shut" Maria says with tears in her eyes "Up, please" "Fine, just trying to lighten the mood" You say as you creep past two more guards, who look rather dead in the eyes and flesh yet still walking, causing Maria to gag and whine in fear.There is a metal door in front of you, slick with gore and warm to touch as well as internally carved with images ivy vines and boarsDo you open it y/N
>>35360216Y
>>35360216>YAnd no more vampire jokes, we've teased Maria enough, we need her to be alert and ready, not a gibbering mess because we scared her.
>>35360216Obviously we should open it
Maria should load those special rounds we found on the boat right about now and be ready
>>35360216>yNo point making Maria even more upset until we are done, we can resume teasing once we have killed the guy.
>>35360241If we get the option to be a vampire I'm voting for it. We'll tease her endlessly.. by existing.
>>35360301That would have to give really good perks to make it worth it.
>>35360301Oh please, that joke got tired hours ago.I'm fucking sick and tired of anons going "Sure we'll go on this job with you" and then doing everything they can to sabotage it and fuck around.Fuck off with that nonsense.
>>35360301Guilt her into being our blood bank.
>>35360301Fuck that noise.I just want to do this job, maybe snag the bonus objectives, and get the fuck out with Maria, and Val if she makes its out.We can mess around and tease Maria back at school, but not when we're on a fucking mission.
>>35360310Pretty much this.Vampires have a lot of shitty weaknesses.If all we pick up by turning into a vampire is:>Severe aversion: Garlic>Deathly weakness: Sunlight>Dependency: Blood>Also maybe holy water or running water weaknesses.That's just gonna be fucking awful.
>>35360317Yeah! Goddamn. Clearly this should be handled absolutely seriously with optimum efficiency. No jokes no dicking around. No jumping on chandeliers.
>>35360216y
>>35360346>>35360346At the very least we should harvest some of the blood. We need to see what sort of effects we can get out of that.Might be a temporary healing agent or some such. Ala' ghoul bonuses.
>>35360346Most of those weaknesses aren't things the average target will have in their bedroom. Vampirism would still be a net gain for an assassin in my opinion.
>>35360389Sunlight alone is a pretty big hindrance.
>>35360403Relegated to night time missions. Might be worth it for the super strength/agility/hypnosis etc etcWe'll see what comes up.
>>35360389For a poisons expert, being a vampire is just 14000 steps backwardsthe minor advantages are completely rendered useless by all the massive disadvantagesits all round fucking retarded
>>35360408No it won't be worth it.We can't just give up on sunlight or daytime because you want +0.7 to AGIFuck off already.
>>35360403We don't know much about vampires in this setting. Does strong enough sunblock help? Is it enough to wear our hoodie or a large hat? I say we at least do some experiments before we get ourself turned, so lets make him turn Maria so we can figure out what her new weaknesses are.
You throw open the doors and"Woah" you say in awe of the room before you, skeletons in armor thrown around with great tears in there armor, red stained steel covering the walls, and a simple wooden chair with a ragged looking man and Val sitting on it."Impressed young killer?" the ragged man asks standing, Val holding onto his leg like a member of a harem "So they sent children to free me from my eternal torment, how disappointing, maybe if I cut you down they'll send more fitting slayers to end me"."So are you a vampire?" You ask walking forward as Maria goes strangely quite again "Curious, you see, just curious". He walks forwards, his ragged and stained cloak fluttering in wind that isn't there. He smiles"Oh you love what you do don't you" He says "and the other hates it let has no qualms about it, such corrupted youths, and so young, how depressing"."You're a real kill joy of a vampire you know that?" You say."Most would've screamed by now" he says "but you haven't, tell me, what do you truly seek here, I am harming no one, besides some peasants who never live to begin with""Well to kill you" You say "To help my friend Maria here, since it was her job and all and she need a bit of help"."DO you really believe you can kill what is already dead?" he asks walking closer."Yes, Poison solve all problems" You say "and if it doesn't well, I have other plans with how to deal with you". The ragged man smiles."That bloodlust" He says licking his lips "So refreshing, well then, come, young killers STRIKE ME DOWN". And with that he throws him arms out, waiting for the first strikeWhat do you do 1d20

>>35360629Decapitation is our objective, so there's really only one weapon: katana.
>>35360788Assuming that works on him.
GoddamnitHEADMASTER DO WE HAVE THE SWORD?
>>35360796But where is it anon? because nowhere in this thread has it been said bby the QM that we brought it along with us.
You pull your mace from your pocket pouch. This is flammable right? Ah well, better safe than sorry. You pivot around on your heal and throw it like a baseballBangKrANGa large ball of fire fills the room as Maria puts a flaming bullet into the pressurized can, showering Count Brausr in fire and shrapnel. He staggers for a moment, before righting himself and brushing off some of the metal sticking out of him, he's moving somewhat slower now and is on fire, he is certainly on fire."Impressive first strikes" He says "unfortunately it is my turn now, please try not to die, I still need to die today as well, so don't be selfish". And with those words her moves fast, very fast, almost a blur of fire and depression roll 1d20 to avoid getting tossed around like a rag dollsharpest object on you is the combat knifebonuses, jump boots.

Rolled 14 (1d20)>>35360817>>35360829No it doesn't because the katana is fucking huge and not something we can conceal, therefore we don't bring it by default since it fucks up our default cover.
Rolled 11 (1d20)>>35360817>sharpest object on you is the combat knifeTake that, katana-fags!
>>35360823You're joking right? The classic test of a proper katana is if it can cut through at least a single guys without stopping. A good katana can cut through multiple guys. Yes, they stacked corpses to test a good sword (although usually I think they used like bundles of wood or crap to simulate the resistance).This seems to be a proper high quality katana here.
>>35360829All of our stuff takes a few boxes. trust me, we don't have all of it here.
>>35360829Layla doesn't walk around with her Katana.It is not part of her present gear.
>Retards argue that we shouldn't waste time training with Katana or learn how to use and conceal it>Retards then go on and on about how it should magically appear next to us when we don't bring it with us because we haven't trained with it and can't conceal it...
>>35360881It's two different groups of retards
>>35360868>Yes, they stacked corpses to test a good swordNo they did not, this is just rampant propaganda and myth.The moment you hit bone, guess what happens to that fragile blade? It shatters.
>>35360868No, the classic test is if the katana can slash a guy open, not cut completely through him. Katana's are great at slashing, but very bad at hacking and dismembering.
>>35360868That doesn't make it a good weapon for decapition, only because a grown man can decapitate a person being held to the ground with it, doesn't mean a teenage girl can do the same thing easily.
>>35360899Our strength state I think was at weak.BUT CLEARLY A KATANA THAT HAS BEEN FOLDED OVER 9000 TIMES WILL SLICE THROUGH ANYTHING!
>>35360912I still think we should give it to Maria at some point, she at least has the strength to actually use the thing.Once she stopped being such a pussy about murdering people.
>>35360892>katanas>fragileLook, I'm not a superior katana >>> everything weaboo, but seriously. Stop acting like Katanas are pure fucking fail like that. They did function as swords and katanas were mostly specialized into straight fucking cutting power.To say that a katana cannot cut through a person is to say a katana is a failure as a weapon.I'm sure a crappy katanas bad enough to break exist like you say, but proper katanas can go through at least a single person. Because they are meant to do that. It's part of the design.
You see him, you see him, you don't see himHe's next to you. You twist around in time to see a flaming foot aimed for your face,. You crouch down, recieving a knee to the everything, sending you flying, but like the cat your hoodie is designed after, you land on your feet. Maria meanwhile is tossed against the wall, before Thradrick turns and sees you standing. The soul searing laugh fills the room."Oh you are a treat" he laughs, clapping as he approach you "it would almost be a shame to drain you, but sadly, You've dealt a respectable amount of damage to me".

>>35360817>sharpest object on you is the combat knifeYou know, this whole mess could've been averted if you were clearer before.
>>35360931No they aren't meant to do that, they are meant to cut the soft parts of the body, not cut through bone. The large amount of folding that they needed to do to make up for the impurity of japanese steel makes the balde of a katana very brittle.

>>35360950Fucking this.They didn't fold them 9000 times to make them sharp or to make them strong, it was to hold the shitty impure steel together, end result was having to heat treat them relatively high, thus making them very brittle.
>>35360943>[] play along>Paralytic syringes
>>35360945>>35360950Seriously, look it up. There's nothing strange about a sword cutting through a whole body with bone.
>>35360931Katana's aren't fail, you are just misunderstanding what they mean when they say cut through a person. They really mean cut through their soft parts. Katana's are slashing weapons, not hacking weapons, and anyone who says differently is foolish.
>>35360978>a muscle relaxantwhy that and not a stronger paralytic?or why not both?
>>35360943>[x] play along>then jack him with muscle relaxant and potassium>>35360985A sword does that, a katana does not. Not all swords are made for the same purpose and tactical enviroment.

>>35360950>The large amount of folding that they needed to do to make up for the impurity of japanese steel makes the balde of a katana very brittle.Believe it or not, modern katanas don't follow those rules since people have proper refineries these days.Some katanas aren't folded at all.
>>35360943>[x] play along>stick that syringe in his eye(paralytic)
>>35360985A fucking greatsword with a 250lb knight atop a warhorse? yes that can go through a body.A katana? No fucking chance.\If you weren't so fucking stupid and actually tried looking up this you might shut the fuck up once you realise how retarded you are.
>>35361044I linked a video that sums it up.
>>35361038Whih makes no difference since a) we don't know when ours was made, and b) a katana is still too thin, too light and Layla to weak to cut bone with it.
>>35360943>[] play alongReady the knife just in case, we don't know if drugs work on vampires.
>>35361038Believe it or not, our katana is not a modern made one.If you actually read this quest instead of spouting nonsense you'd know ours has a storied history and is an old old blade.
>>35361058If it was made in the last 100 years refineries existed.
>>35361038>>35361058See? So obviously our Katana is not for decapitating or dismembering. Now, if we want to learn to use it like it's SUPPOSED to be used, I.E. cutting an opponents guts open, I'm all for that.
You decide to play along, walking along like a zombie towards the burning man, who's missing half of his face. He laughs as you slowly get closer as he moves his charred finger back and forth. He reach towards you, opening his mouth wide, give you a nice toothy smile, one which you mirror happily as you grab and jab three injections into his neckHe howlers and slaps you away as he tears them out. You laugh weakly as you stand back up, tear rolling down your face as you watch him move towards you, his remaining eye shining a near blinding red. He's moving even slower now"Insolent" He growls, his teeth full of fangs "worm"."Hey you wanted to die" You say "I'm just helping, be greatfull you burning cunt"."I'll tear your head off" he says "with my teeth"."Bring it on darling" You shout arms spread out wide.roll 1d20 to avoid the fucker

>>35361074Even so, It was probably made the traditional way, by folding it 9000 times, since it seemed to be a family heirloom. So still not a blade for dismembering.
>>35361074And until Hitachi started making their Blue and Super Blue range of tool steels, you would not find a steel able to handle that in that blade profile.Does not matter whether you have a refinery or not, if the steel is shit, the steel is shit, and early WW2 made katana's brought back from China were blades that had very impure steel, the wavy lines in them that look cool? A sign of impurities in the metal.When layering steel like that, if you use good steel and do it properly, you cannot tell where the seams are.Stop talking out your arse.

>>35361120Well at the very least it should be good enough to not get hit while he flails and speeds up the poisons effect.>>35361131No they fucking can't, the Japanese had blades made for chopping and hacking, the katana was not that, so fuck off back to whatever weeaboo hole you crawled out of.

>>35361150http://anydice.com/program/4852Odds for your DC
>>35361131No you idiot, they don't cut clean through people. They slash into people, spilling their guts or cutting at muscles. >>35361159Except for the fact that the weapon we are talking about was specialized for something else and has been shown time and time again to not have chopping power.
>>35361159Yes it does because they, being the ones who built and used the fucking things knew what they could and couldn't do.So why don't you run back to your shitty Cold Steel videos and drown yourself in Doritos's and mountain dew.

You drive your hand forward, laughing as you stare into the made eye of Count Thradrick Brausr. There's a sickening crunch and you're lifted off the ground, your arm in his mouth, his teeth digging into your flesh. And then you're in the air, your knife gone, and your arm feeling like it's in tatters. You force yourself up, and see your knife, sticking out of what used to be his remaining eye. You smile. He didn't suck your blood, just nearly tore your arm off. or maybe he did. Who cares, this is fun, THIS IS SO MUCH FUN. You smile widely as you watch him thrash about and scream impotently as he claws at his eye, he doesn't look that human anymore.

>>35361586Bah, with vampire powers we can make her love us.
>>35361576We can at least drink some of his blood
>>35361591Headmaster just straight up said blood makes the sun not affect you.
>>35361598For all we know that might make us his thrall if we drink it while he isn't fully dead.
>>35361586So we bring back the blood and make the nun drink it.Give her the curse and see how her god loves her after.>>35361591>Lets not become vampires without knowing exactly what the benefits are.This, test the blood on the nun first
>>35361526[] marble + rifleIt's the highest roll anyhow.
>>35361586I remember the secret objective was blood in a cup. Even if we ain't gonna drink it remember to get it.
>>35361586>and the nun would never love youSays you. We'll make her love us just like Winston Smith loves Big Brother.
>>35361600Because thats the entirety of potential downsides vampires can face...>>35361607Rolls are independent of the choice.
>>35361586Bitchin'>>35361591Well, we can already tell based on him. We get enhanced speed, apparently regeneration if we have enough blood, and tenacity
>>35361600And he also said its a curse, and having to drink blood every single day is crippling, no matter how he tries to sugar coat it.If you are that determined, then bring the blood back and test it out on our nun, thats why we kept her alive for fucks sake, for exactly this.Once we've tested it on her and have more info, then we can decide.
>>35361604We've still got Maria here to finish him.
>>35361620Yeah but still. It sounds like a decent idea and voting the winning roll is a thing we do.
>>35361600So you're just ignoring every single other glaring crippling weakness?Like anons say, test it on the holy bitch first, see how she likes it.
>>35361621He has all these things after being centuries old. We have no idea what it gets us for a few days.>>35361627Maria is currently K.O. and we have no idea for how long.
>>35361610I think that the cup was just a part of the riddle and isn't necessary>>35361623We don't know it's every single day.
>>35361623Either way we're bring the blood back it's an objective. - Testing it on the nun may super power her. That could be ugly for us.
>>35361558This right here.
>>35361637>- Testing it on the nun may super power her. That could be ugly for us.Us and Allie have loads of drugs, you've seen what Allie's can do to her, and we can get Horsefur to restrain her.It's in the name of science anon.
>>35361636>We don't know it's every single day.Exactly, we don't know! So we shouldn't drink any shit before we know what exactly it does.
>>35361637I think drinking the blood is the objective, because that blood is not going to be good for long.
>>35361634In lore the sun is typically the biggest one that causes problems. Blood everyday isn't exactly crippling.. that's like food every day or water.Its annoying but not exactly earth shattering.
>>35361635>>Maria is currently K.O. and we have no idea for how long.Ok, then it may be a horrible idea
>>35361636>We don't know it's every single day.SO TEST IT ON THE FUCKING NUNWE ONLY KEPT HER ALIVE TO TEST OUT THIS SHIT TO MESS WITH HER AND SEE HOW POISONS WORK, HOW THEY EFFECT HER SO WE CAN BETTER MAKE AND USE THEMTEST IT ON HER FOR FUCKS SAKE
>>35361651We have no reason to meet the objective since becoming a vampire would be the only reward.
>>35361659Calm down anon. There will be a vote. ALL CAPS DOESNT MAKE YOUR POINT HIT HARDER!Just.. vote man. We'e got a system.
And OP had to shit everything up by going all supernatural when things were going fine.
>>35361654Dracula wasn't hurt by the sun, and its ambigous if that was the case for Carmilla, so as literature vampires go, its not the most urgent one.>>35361654Blood is a lot harder to get than food or water.
>>35361662Bad luck we couldn't just de-limb him and bring him back to our school for more testing.
>>35361659If we test it on the nun, we are giving her super powers, so we don't know if we can restrain her. And like I said, the blood is probably going to go bad before we get it back there. I'm pretty sure it's a now or never deal
>>35361672Shit has been supernatural since day one I think... what with the shapeshifter. We're also full of blood that apparently thinks poisons and medications are a joke. So we're on the super human side of things already.
>>35361668Does not matter if we've got a system when anons are retarded and don't give two shits about how badly they fuck everything up.
>>35361654Drinking blood ain't the problem, getting it is, which is fuckloads harder to get than food or water.It's like forcing yourself to each pufferfish every day.
>>35361688So typing in all caps and saying it's a bad idea works? I think it just pisses people off and drives them further away from your point.
>>35361672Supernatural is fine, we already got a posessed katana. Offering a transformation as intrusive as vampirism to the protag is whats the problem.
>>35361687>We're also full of blood that apparently thinks poisons and medications are a jokeAnd drinking his blood will probably fuck all that up and get rid of our own blood and its advantages.You don't just merge them together for a buff.
>>35361526Lets just do this >>35361558 and be done with it.
>>35361679I'm sure the school has access to a blood bank>>35361688Could you stop shadow running and try to have fun. Honestly, I can see Layla wanting to become a vampire. It would make things more exciting.
>>35361698We have a nun and a guilty roomate
>>35361684>I'm pretty sure it's a now or never dealThen I'll take never thank you.>>35361703>Offering a transformation as intrusive as vampirism to the protag is whats the problem.Yep, poorly thought out idea.
>>35361716And we want to be the schools bitch for the rest of eternity ?>>35361718I'm fairly sure "Maria" would take issue with that. And the has drugs and poisons in her 24/7.
>>35361722>Then I'll take never thank you.I'll take "now" then.
>>35361712We'll ask Headmaster for a run down of buffs and debuffs when it comes down to it. Stop acting like some one is trying to kill your waifu and calm down.I want to see what the perks and problems are before we give it a shot or toss it under the bus.
>>35361718That nun is a contaminated food supply with all the drugs and poisons we've been pumping her full of.Trying to drink from her is just asking to die.
>>35361726>That mission you invited me on turned me into a vampire to save your life.
>>35361726Hey, to be fair, the school has been pretty nice to us. And who knows, since we'll get more powerful, we might become the new headmaster of the school.
>>35361726>the nun has drugs and poisons in her 24/7.Our poison resistance is already ridiculous. I'm going to guess that becoming a vampire will only enhance that.>>35361732>Trying to drink from her is just asking to die.Don't exaggerate. If the nun can survive that, we definitely can.
>>35361734>Also they're real.
>>35361734You think "Maria" gives a shit?She doesn't.
>>35361729Layla is mai waifu :(
>>35361745Sheisnotyourwaifusheisanabomination.jpg
>>35361741You keep guessing shit is whats the problem, its explicitly alsom a curse, therefore it has downsides. You keep assuming everything will automatically turn out in our favor.
Well this job has been a clusterfuck...
>>35361745Your waifu is an shit
>>35361753>its explicitly also a cursefucking this, the QM outright stated its a curse and tried to sugar coat it
>>35361753I'm sure it does. But man those PERKS.I'll take it.
He stops moving, and so do you. he's tracking you by sound. You grab your marbles and make a break for it, tossing them behind you as you grab the rifle, you hear a ungodly roar behind you as you feel his fangs start to reach for your neck. He stumbles for a moment, you grab the gun with an effort, turn, and pull the trigger. You're sent flying back. Your ears ringing from the almighty boomYou see the vampire a foot or two away, a smoking hole in his chest the size of a basketball, not looking so scary anymore, almost like a scared child really and then he smiles and begins to laugh"You" He says "in all my years of life I've never known one like you, One who could face down the devil and laugh, you reminded me off myself before I chose to damn myself, except already insane"."Still alive" You say nursing your arm "well aren't you a tough bastard Thradrick" He laughs."I can say the same to you" He says "A clever little rat, who killed the cat, now that is wonderful, but I have one last request of you, rat, before I pass on to my finale reward, be it good or ill, Take my blood, you've earned the right of my legacy, do it young killer, become the wolf among sheep, become the hunter of men".You smile as you look at the pathetic charred thing before it, and ponder what you should doWhat do you do[] spit on him[] drink some of his blood(you will become a vampire, no way to go back0[] fill a chalice with it (Turn one character into a vampire, may fuck you over, cannot turn them back)[] Finish him off with on last almighty bangI sense a shitstorm a brewing And to answer some pressing questionyou'd keep your ungodly resistant to poisonsThe longer you go without blood the more the sun hurts (one day is stinging pain)You may go feral in combat if you get injuredcrossing water is a problem, but you can swim if you've drank recently Senses increases*gets better the more people you drain*strength increases the more powerful blood you consumeCont

>>35361830What? You'll like to count things? So we become more mentally unstable?

>>35361830Oh for fucks sake...Why don't you just railroad it then if your going to fuck up the vote and tell us how you're going to cripple us after the fucking vote?Might as well just delete the last 50 samefagged posts and redo the vote with this info.
>>35361868It makes it a lot harder
Just forget the vampire shit, why do you think its a good idea to derail the quest like that? When did this stop being assassin school quest?Supernatural stuff as opponents and trophies alright, but making it a integral part of the fucking MC is just idiotic.
>>35361850No fucking shit, and you fucked the vote up by only telling us the bad stuff AFTER the vote...>>35361885>Just forget the vampire shit, why do you think its a good idea to derail the quest like that? When did this stop being assassin school quest?Fucking this.Headmaster, just get rid of this shit, if you want to run some faggoty vampire quest, do that in another quest instead of ruining this one.
>>35361868>>35361882More importantly, it's a recount that will stop complaints about him typing up the weaknesses after the vote started.
>>35361885This.Fucking this.Brilliant fucking idea HM, utterly genius, the first mission was fun, this mission just broke the entire fucking quest.
>>35361894This
>>35361885Well said anon.
>>35361901I'm not willing to give up on this because of one shitstorm. Layla is a extremly fun character, which is part of why I'm so much against this transformation thing. She stopping to be a human monster would make the entire thing different.
OkDreadfully sorry if any of you get angered or upsetdid not have enough room so I had to continue in a another post and by then there were a fuck ton of votes, I am sorry, I am not a very fast typer Vote1[] blow the fucker away2[] chalice 3[] spit on him

>>35361968They equal out anyway
>>35361830>you'll like to count things
>>35361965Seems to be collecting it in a chalice, which we can then choose to give for the bonus objective, drink ourselves, etc.
>>35361965Noit's keeping the bloodto give to someonefuck withsellor drink if you change your mind, which I do not expect in the slightest>>35361968i am aware
>>353619201
>>35361975>>35361980Not anymore
>>35361979Prefer to use it to create a bloodbank vampire to use to create poisons and potions from.
>>353619201
>>35361982This is the last valid vote
>>35361992Well I'm not sure that would work well, what about a vampire is poisonous?and poisons have to be tailored to the animal, what works on a vamp might not work on a oomie.
>>35361920Could you tell us why you thought this shit was a good idea? I really don't get it, I stomached some shit with this quest, like you going "oh no you can't kill other students" kj´just because on fag on /qtg/ whined about it. But this, I really don't know what its supposed to add to the quest at all.
>>35361920 2
>>35362007The poisons teach injected herself with something that made her more energetic. It could be used to our advantage
>>353619203Just because no one else voted for it.
>>35362008My guess increased variety. Judging from the votes plenty of less vocal anons are interested in it.Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everything is ruined for everyone else
>>35362008>But this, I really don't know what its supposed to add to the quest at all.Neither do I anon, all it does is drive a rift between the players and radically change the MC, and I'm not sure even the stats are worth such a change.

>>353619202>>35362025A lot of us just lurk a thread until there's a vote we're actually interested in voting on. I know I do.
>>35362043>Oh mostly to show that supernatural bullshit does exist in the setting.We already fucking knerw that. We have agoddamn posessed/cursed katana already in our posession, I talk about the transformation.
>>35362043>Oh mostly to show that supernatural bullshit does exist in the setting. Like the katana, Headmaster marrows, or the feelings of being watched. the jump boots are even slightly supernaturalThen you could have very easily showed that instead of this mess.We already had inklings of the supernatural in the background, but this? This just broke the spine of the quest over its knee.Stupid idea.
>>35362043ooooooh, I like it. Let's just keep it as a souvenir.
>>35362062Or we could drink it and one anon who is addicted to caps lock up the fucking wall.
>>35362008Forget about it anon. We just take the stuff and make it disappear in our inventory.
>>35362043>Oh mostly to show that supernatural bullshit does exist in the setting.We knew that...Brilliant work there OP, you've got the players tearing each others throats apart and radically changing and fucking with the MC when you could have just made it something we saw or were told or found out, instead its this...
>>35362039As stated beforeyou don't need to drink the bloodYou can use it to create a zombification drugor turn a friend into a vampiresell it for shit tons of doshburn it for some reason >>35362057and I am an idiot, I don't think much through
>>35362074As much fun as that sounds, I want to keep it as a trophy. Or sell it to the school for something awesome
>>35362062Onto the trophy rack with our Katana.
>>35362086Vocal minority screams that it doesn't like thing for reasons. Is mad.
>>35362090Speaking of dosh, lets loot his place, put his head on a pike, and go announce the whole thing with the girls.
>>35362090>zombification drugAha! there is a use to create a bloodbank vampire.
>>35362062>>35362093I like that idea, but we would have to make sure that Maria or someone can't drink it.
>>35362090>You can use it to create a zombification drugHelloooo
>>35362086Holy shit can you stop being such a sore loser?
>>35362097Indeed. It's looting time!
Thread seemed sorta interested in it near the start of the thread, he probably thought he'd give it as an option.I'm a faggot who likes vampires so I was interested up until people had strong feelings against it, it is an odd shift in tone so there's no need to do anything. Whatever, let's move on, having the blood around only gives us more options and doesn't commit us to anything.
>>35362090OP, its usually a lot smoother if you slowly lay out the seeds of an idea like this, see how we react and where we go with it instead of suddenly pulling the curtains away.
>>35362097Yeah lets just forget about this mess and make some more cash.At least that we can all agree on.
>>35362097lootz lootz lootz>>35362111>but we would have to make sure that Maria or someone can't drink it.Yeah, that would be a problem.
>>35362090Just a tip, but you might want to wait a thread or two before letting us vote on what to do with it, just to let things to cool down and calmer heads to prevail, emotions are flying and tensions are high right about now.
>>35362123Thread seemed interested in it since I raised the possibility in >>35354671.The rest of the posts about wanting to become a vampire (other than >>35355038) weren't even from me.
>>35362133>lootz lootz lootzI shall second the call for looting the shit out of this place after we put his head on a pike.
>>35362123I like vampires too, doesn't mean every MC needs to be one when it doesn't add anything to the character. And weaknesses like vulnerability to silver just isn't worth it.
>>35362123I was pro vampire until I saw the extreme disadvantages. Now looking forward to it's poison and enhancement drug capabilities.
>>35362144Can confirm have a weak spot for vampirism. Primarily prefer to consume it. Will never vote to give it to another because it would be empowering someone other than Layla. This cannot be allowed.
>>35362123I voted against drinking it, but preserving it seems like a good idea, most of those "lets be a vampire" faggots aren't going to be around most of the quest anyway, so we can focus on making stims out of the vampire blood.
>>35362186I'm not entirely pro vampire but I'm not going to throw out some goddamn supernatural resources because a few people are afraid of them.That blood could make some wicked poisons apparently.
>>35362186Our own personal poison which no one will ever have the cure for. But we do have to hunt more vampires for ingredients. Who knows we might become a vampire eater.
>>35362186I'm mostly voting for becoming a vampire because of the delicious butthurt on the other side.
>>35362214Well that's just rude and uncivilised anon.
You grab a chalice, resting on near his chair, Val is on the ground moaning, in pain perhaps. Maria is passed out soundly. You place the chalice next to his throat, and watch as he uses what his awesome strength across it, tearing it like paper. dark red, near black blood flows into it and stands stillThe charred corpse stands up nods at you, grabs the rifle, places it to his breast, and fires.He crumples down to the ground, still smiling. a heavy sighed follows as he vanishes into naught but a memory and a charred corpseYou go an help Maria up"What the hell happened?" Val asks sleepily"Me and Maria killed a vampire" You say ignoring the massive ammount of pain of possible broken bones within you"Did you touch his blood?!" she shouts"No" you say "thought about it, realized I should fuck around with it before wasting it all on something as pointless as being able to turn into a bat or something""Good" She says "I'll call the extraction, don't drink that blood if you value your humanity""Don't care" You say sitting down "Just get me some nice medicine so i can forget about my arm being used as a chew toy"mission completeBonus objectives complete: find out what happend to the girls: ownership of his manor or the burnt out husk . mount his head on a pike: Complete post mission by several townsfolk cheering on the 'heroes': A large bottle of strong vodkaPost mission report: boss, I once again would like to suggest killing her before she decides she doesn't need us. hell I will do i[request denied]DO you wish to visit the nun Y/N
>>35362220Hey, we all get our kicks somehow.
>>35362220To be honest that's kind of why I'm for it as well. One anon is seriously raging like a goddamn child. I want to see him cry.KATANA A SHIT VAMPIRES GO HOME I HATE THIS!You don't like the way things are going? Leave the thread. Don't rage at everyone else. Vote with your votes not your sperging.
>>35362125Yeah well, I wasn't think so I fucked up

>>35362227We should have some bandages and disinfectant in our first aid kit, I believe.
