EssOhDeeYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. Don't ask me about the page title, it just says SoD? on my character sheet under 'Chronicle' 4 vampires wake up after 30 years of sleep. The world has moved on to some degree, but certain things never change. Vince, a Toreador nightclub owner, played by ZenStar 8 June 2004Lots of stuff has happened, mostly to do with Tremere and (worse) Tremere renegades. We get sent out to quell the rebellion (consisting of the Tremere primogen and his 7 (yes, 7!) childer). They are also in cahoots with a fsck-load of demons, and super hardcore demons at that. We pretty much all ended up either full of demon blood, or tainted in some way, leading to massive expenditure of willpower not to go psycho. My Assamite also finally got his first writ, for the death of Claudio, the Tremere primogen. Anyway, in the ensuing battles, Shift got crispy-fried trying to take on demons by himself and Vince got dusted by an ethereal Garou. Eventually Yu and I managed to take out Claudio, effectively stopping the ritual the rebellion were trying to get together, and the witch Erica helped us escape from the chantry (good thing, otherwise we would definitely be dead). So, I think we mostly succeeded... difficult to tell tho. And so, it ends... 20 January 2003Okay, this time we went on a little 'expedition' with the Brujah primogen. Shift was so in, cos we were jacking a whole bunch of milling equipment that he could use to make custom bike parts. It was fairly hectic, jacking these massive machines from a dock in Seattle. There was a bit of resistance, all I can say is thank god for Obfuscate and Celerity. We also picked up some very nice MP5s?, great stuff :) 13 January 2003Back, after the new year hiatus, and much lack of posting from me. Anywayz... This time, we got involved in a bike league, where Shift will apparently be racing the entire season. Should be a hoot, especially since one of the rival teams are all werewolves!! I mean, wtf! Fairly insane, hardcore racing, I would certainly be glad of regeneration ability if I were involved. But, there's a chance of a lot of money, and quite sme prestige for Shift, I presume. Oh, and biker chicks :) Always good. No combat this time, amazingly, we were all so good :) Oh! And Yu managed to pick up some cross dressing dude, thinking it was a hot biker chick! Damn hilarious. 2 September 2003Well, no repercussions as of yet. The security on the house with the coins is insane ! I'm talking automatic sentry guns and crap here. As the security expert, I woulda told them to go get fucked if they wanted me to break in here and steal the collection, but then the Toreador amongst us said he refused to steal the collection, let alone melt it down. So that saved me the trouble :P He was, however, giving us a very good deal on the coins, so if we can front the money somehow, we could buy it and sell a little later for a profit. Doesn't help us on the silver front, but does help with our cash flow, quite a lot actually :) Anyway, we decide to leave that decision for a little later, and start looking for alternate silver sources. We find out about a commune that offers courses in silverwork, and a little more research reveals that they are located on what was once a silver mine. Score! So, we go there. Now, it's out in the middle of nowhere, so we hire a 4x4 and mosey on over. What we find is a little disturbing... The complex is double walled, an outer fence and an 18' inner palisade of sharpened stakes... never a comforting sight for a vamp :/ Also, the field between the two fences is claymore mined to hell and gone, and for some strange reason we're starting to glow with weird little halos, which Vince and I can see because of heightened sense. So the other two go hide, and I obfuscate and try find where the glow is coming from. After a fairly scary sneak through claymore-land, I find a little bivvy with three snipers lying down, aiming in our general direction. Zone of Silence + Celerity + Strength 4 = 3 dead snipers, with nobody the wiser. They've got sweet shit, including red-dot laser scopes, only in the UV spectrum, with goggles that transpose the beams into visible light. So, with the goggles on, I find the other sniper nest and take that out too. Guns are difficult to obtain as it is, but this stuff will be worth a fortune. Oh, and they also use caseless shells, so no brass lying around afterwards. But now this leaves ut hanging around outside the compound, wondering just what the hell is inside, and what other defences do they have. And do they know that their 6 snipers are dead? Cos they had subvocs... Shit, now we are in the poo 26 August 2003With the recent werewolf encounter, we are missioning to try find some silver to make silver bullets and hopefully plate some of our melee weapons too. Unfortunately, in the time we were asleep, silver has apparently become very scarce. So Yu but out adverts for silver coin collections, and we got a response from a really large collector in Canada. Fairly close, which is good, but unfortunately like a couple of million euros worth of collection. That we would melt down. So we head on up to this small town in Canada to case the joint and see what's up. We first break into the architect's office to get the plans for the place, which was not exactly a mission, but unfortunate. The best/only way in involved two 50-foot drops onto concrete. Vince completely hashed his first drop up, and ended up taking 8 body levels of damage. From falling head first. Onto concrete. So instant torpor. After we sorted that out, we got the plans no problem, and made the second drop with a minimum of damage. But then we were feeling hungry, after healing all our shattered bones, so we went hunting. Well, when I say hunting, I mean rampaging. I lost control when feeding on a smacked-up hooker, and Yu and Vince just went wild cos they could (Toreador and Brujah - what do you expect?). Something about being out of town and hence away from the prince. That leaves a total of 4 (3? Not too sure, I was high on smack :P) hookers, a pimp and his bodyguard, all dead, one drained totally. So, we await next week to see what kind of trouble this causes, and whether it can be traced back to us. IntroOkay, you'd think that after 30 years of inactivity, we'd be pretty untargetted by most people. Not true. All we've been trying to do is feed, make some cash and stay out of trouble, but people just keep coming up to us! Weird little Chinese men who can burst into flames if they want, assailants with enchanted stakes, hordes of snakes that hurt some of us really badly, Russians on sweet bikes trying to assassinate the Assamite, etc. I mean, what were they thinking ? They all got fairly sk00led, but we ourselves got sk00led a couple of times. Oh, and another scary thing. We go after the Russian gang who were trying to kill me (twice, I might add), and one of them does not fall down when shot, he instead grows a lot of fur and some claws. This was almost as much of a surprise as the flaming man, let me tell you. We managed to kill it tho, must have been a baby (in which case were screwed if the pack decides to come after us) or something. It was very tasty :) Thank god for Celerity, cos if it had hit any of us even once it probably would have dusted us outright. Do not pass torpor. Do not collect eternal (un)life. Now, all we gotta do is figure out why this werewolf is allied with these snake abominations... |
