| Welcome To The Night You find yourself in London on a dreary, foggy night like any other. But what lurks in the shadows is the stuff of fantasies and nightmares, far from mortal reality. This game uses the cursed and immortal vampiric condition as a backdrop to explore themes of morality, depravity, the human condition, salvation, and personal horror. We are a writing and roleplaying community dedicated to telling complex and engaging stories. Your fate is your own. Mingle among the ivory-tower elite in the Camarilla, join the fight of the discontented and chaotic Anarch rabble, or set out independently and attempt to survive in London's nighttime underworld.

Name of your MiniQuest: Shifting Shadows Number of available slots: 0/4 We are Officially Full. Margo, Clarissa, Franca & Max please report to the Cemetery. Skills required: Investigators & Combat rolls Level of danger involved: 3 to 5 out of 10. Does this contribute to the canon of the forum: It is a Canonical MiniQuest however it is DEEPLY unlikely anyone will actually die during the quest. Unless something really dumb is done. A brief description: Shifting Shadows is a search and overcome MiniQuest. The characters will have to track down the source of the disappearances, find the lair of the creature and remove it to prevent the Masquerade from being breached. Through his spy network the Seneschal Henderson has discovered this growing problem and requested a few brave souls to seek out the cause of the disturbances and bring it in for rehabilitation or destruction, whichever is required. |

Margo: medium (its a cemetery... ghosts?), Proficient at auspex & high perception/alertness (though no investigation training), combat capable. Prior experience in at least one field operation. |

Alright. I am hoping to have a decent pace when it comes to posting speed. As long as everyone is good about posting every few days or so. There's no real time frame but I'm hoping it won't take more than 2 months or so to wrap up. That's not directed at you Clarice, just a general info blurb. Doesn't have to be an every day post to like Zippo Run, but if people can commit to posting at least once every 3rd day that'd be awesome. |

Raise the retirement age?

I'm inclined to put Agustin in as a maybe. He's smart and relatively combat-capable (after some lessons from Sawyer and Orissa). The chance for some glory would be attractive to him. I might drop out depending on my ability to post when it starts, or whoever else might want in. Agu in a cemetery is a recipe for fun, tho'! |

I suppose the 2/4 in "available slots" means that 2 of 4 slots are occupied? I would very much like to take part with Max. He can´t do Auspex, but he´s good at combat. Edited by Max Keller, Saturday, 26. July 2014, 00:26.

That would put the group at 4 if Agustin converts his Maybe to a Yes. |

Actually, I'll bow out at this point. Agu's too little fish, and has other concerns. I will keep my third eye out for the next quests, tho'. |

So that puts us at 3 of 4 for the Quest. One more and we can start it. |

I don't suppose you could use a grumpy firearms officer and her partner? ;3 |

Fox has the build of someone who works out extensively, focused more on agility and endurance than power, at a guess she could be a long distance runner, possibly a gymnast. English Russian

The bad-assy Ancilla Brujah sheriff of Dresden is actually the bad guy... I know it! It might take four of us to bring him down. |

I'm probably too overloaded to join this, but I do want to encourage any new kids to jump on this! Two mini quests (Into the Ruins and Big Bad Voodoo Theater) were just about the first things I did on DM, and both were awesome experiences (even if they never actually ended!). If you want to make connections with both players and their characters, this is a great way to do it! |

I would love to see Fox in a MiniQuest, but given this one is designed to stop a Masquerade breach it's probably not a good idea for an unenlightened Mortal to jump into this particular storyline. I am rolling an idea around for a MiniQuest that will require nothing but ghouls/mortals to pull it off. So keep an eye out. So we have 3 out of 4. Margo, Clarice & Max so far. One more volunteer to get on the Seneschal's good side and we're ready to launch. Remembering you're promising to post at least once every three days. |

I'd love to join if I am allowed to stay in London :). No Auspex but I can fight. Just tell me if I'd be twisting my timeline too much (I still have to do my presentation, I guess I wouldn't even know about the quest before that). |

Unless there is something that makes it unlikely you'll be allowed to stay in London that should work out. Since there is a good chance the MiniQuest will take a month or two to complete depending on the speed of the posters it's going to have to be at the end of the timelines, sort of moving steadily into the present as it goes on. To reflect the danger of the quest. After all, if you get badly maimed but you've already talked about in a thread where you've never been hurt, it would make sense for the Quest to have taken place after said "I've never been hurt" thread. So consider the MiniQuest to be in "the future" which becomes The Present as soon as it's wrapped up. |

Alright leggies and genglefen The fight night of the MiniQuest shall take place on a New Moon. You'll all have recently met with the Seneschal and been informed that there is a possible Masquerade Breach situation taking place in the Cemetery in question. Mr. Henderson has requested that you look into the area, discover what is going on and put a stop to the wholesale disappearances of so many mortals before the local authorities step in. Since the whatever-it-is seems to only come out on the darkest of nights this is the most logical night to try and catch it in the act of person snatching, as it is both heavily overcast, threatening rain and there is no moon. So the park shall be quite dark. |
