| 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, Clarice, Franca & Max. Agustin bowed out & Sawyer merely expressed a wish to go and encouraged new players to go give it a shot. |

Are these street level image of the cemetery essentially correct? And the google map? Google Stuff "Hither Green Cemetery is a large cemetery located on Verdant Lane, in Whitefoot, London, England. The cemetery is situated between Catford, Hither Green, Grove Park and Lee. Next to Hither Green Cemetery is Lewisham Crematorium" Edited by Margo Moreau, Saturday, 26. July 2014, 23:44.

Essentially, with a few stretches of stone wall. ![]() The Chapel, abandoned ![]() The Remembrance Garden ![]() The Cemetery This is World of Darkness so imagine things are a bit more run down and prone to graffiti and crumbled up. |

Well... I hope Clarice doesn't get eaten while the rest of us wait for Franca. Good luck with that hun. I guess this begs the question... was any plan made by the team, or any instructions given by the senechal other then... okay you four go check this place out? Was the team even briefed together or did they speak together before this night? Edited by Margo Moreau, Saturday, 26. July 2014, 23:39.

I would assume Henderson alerted them that he was asking more than one person to go. Given that he is an organized person who wouldn't actively want to see them eaten. |

Did we have names and contact information for the team members? (after Franca gets there, and if they wait awhile... if Margo has contact info and such she will be texting Clarice asking where she is...?) Edited by Margo Moreau, Saturday, 26. July 2014, 23:48.

Given that Mr Henderson is a very careful and efficient fellow consider that he probably gave you each a burner cellphone with the numbers of the other phones inputted into them with whatever name you would prefer to be called. |

Clarice is hyped as hell, scouting ahead. I'd say she went no further than 10 meters away from the fence and 50 meters away from the gate where everyone gathered |

Have we been provided with weapons besides those we own from background? |

Henderson might provide a decent sized knife if you need one but he generally doesn't provide much in the way of weaponry, especially for what might well be nothing more than a scouting mission with nothing that comes from it. So assume a blade or two but probably nothing more than that. |

How do we determine who dodges what, who hits whom and how badly? Maybe it's explained elsewhere but I don't see it. |

The writers basically work things out between each other. As long as people are being fair and not basically making themselves immune to everything that is coming their way it's generally not an issue. The key to writing free form combat is appreciating the give and take of battle and how things can go bad even for experienced fighters, and even clumsy novices can get lucky. The goal is just to make it as realistic for your character as possible without trying to make yourself immune to everything. |

I´m not quite certain - can Max use Celerity directly again? But doesn´t it take a while to activate it? If it does, then he has an attempt at dodging now, and nothing else. |

He can use Celerity each turn, but each time he activates it he burns a pint of blood. So keep in mind that if he uses more than say 10 pints of blood he'll be dangerously close to frenzying from hunger. Even if, as an older vampire, he can manage to hold around 12 to 13 pints of blood the hunger will grow strongly enough that he'll be at risk of going mad with the need to drain something to reclaim his lost blood. As a Brujah he's even more at risk than others because he is naturally more inclined to frenzy. |

Does our generation have any effect on the blood pool? I think none of us is a 13th, even though it was decided for different purposes. |

As for the issue of frenzy, I felt that "monster dog over me & eating my throat" called for some primal reaction (self control roll succeeded, thought). I wouldn't do it for every random confrontation because, well, it doesn't make sense. Let's see if we need some guidelines, though. |

Gen Blood Pints 9th 14 10th 13 11th 12 12th 11 13th 10 We don't really use Generation on the board so just consider that your character holds somewhere between 10 and 14 pints of blood. So I'll be keeping track of how much blood you spend over the course of the MiniQuest and if you hit the 10 mark I'm going to be pointing out that you should be nearing frenzy at almost every provocation because your beast is screaming to be fed. The less blood in your system the harder it is to avoid giving in to loss of control. |

More technical questions: does healing take a whole turn? How much blood does it take? And if I drink more than I have consumed (I used celerity twice and the ghoul shoul have 5 points) can I use the remaining three points to heal or are they lost? |
