Planned a big assault but one of our players had to leave early. So our Gangrel wandered off on another "personal quest". This time, my Mekhet followed her.
Apparently her personal quest is basically to start fights and win. She's getting better, though - in the session I missed, "nothing" happened (in other words, whatever she did she managed to preserve the masquerade. However, she's no longer rolling humanity checks for manslaughter.....)
I had to reveal myself and help this time, though, because she's still rolling atrociously badly for regular punching whenever I'm around (and then randomly rolling crazy high whenever she frenzies from desperation and grows giant masquerade-violating claws). I had my incendiary ammo loaded, too... wasn't pretty. One of the patrons actually managed to stumble outside, bleeding, and I had to chase him down before someone happened by (it was like 3AM). As soon as he was dead, I was able to cloak the corpse in obfuscation so nobody noticed it.
I very nearly experienced an anger frenzy myself. I *almost* resolved the situation nonviolently, by throwing a smoke grenade and shouting a distraction. Two problems:
1) I acted a little too late, the gangrel character was already in a frenzy
2) The guilt over that murder I premeditated caused me to shout, basically: "Everybody get down, this is a raid! We're looking for drugs! Okay, Kayla can recognize my voice, and that I'm causing a distraction." Yeaaah, I'm suffering from honestly my favorite derangement ever: When I commentate on the game, as I have a habit of, my character often unconsciously monologues it aloud.
I actually almost blew my cover a couple rounds early by volunteering "clever" one-liners during the initial fistfight. It's the perfect derangement.
Oh so I almost frenzied because I came so close to resolving the situation (my hope virtue) but then someone lost an arm to giant fuckoff claws, AND I failed to even save the bartender by botching my grapple check, and she shot me point blank with a shotgun. I didn't frenzy but I did basically cuss out everyone involved as I gunned them down. I rolled 1 success for all 7 rounds, juuuuust barely resisting the frenzy but simmering violently.
