[Sialia]

Noticing the mist, Mirella will find a nearby public bathroom. She'll step inside and disguise herself with her disguise kit, including wig and change of clothes. She'll put a wig on Butch, and spruce her up with some makeup, but will not go to the same effort as on herself. She will then find a cafe to sit in, watching the unnatural mist slowly descend.

[Sialia]

((Nikolai is really quite well fleshed out. I like the way he thinks ))

[S34N1C]

((Thanks, although syvarris did all the work. I really did want to avoid threatening her, but she is fucking adamant about stating at that desk))

[Sialia]

((Social and manipulative play styles are very strong in that a few rolls can avoid hundreds of future rolls worth of combat but in the end sometimes you just have to use force regardless.))

[Sialia]

((Aigre is far too busy with exams just at the moment to update, so he has asked me to to an update for the thread to keep it moving.))

Yeah, gonna go ahead and loose a tnt arrow at that, detonating it in mid air.

The arrow explodes, but the mist is insubstantial. The fragments of the arrow hit nothing solid as they fall.

Nikolai sighs, seeing that this receptionist isn't going along with his plan. He wanted to do this without violence, but she's forcing his hand.

"Well, I must be off, but before I go,"

Nikolai leans across the desk so he can hold both her hands. He looks her in the eyes, smiling pleasantly.

"Listen to me very closely. There is a room in this building that I need to get to. You are going to escort me there. If you refuse, I will find that precious little prefect girl, and rip her head off her shoulders. If you try do run while taking me there, I may do the same to you. Do you understand? You are going to take me where I wish to go."

Nikolai rolls his manipulation + intimidation for 2 successes. The receptionist tries to pull her hands away, but unsuccessfully. Her eyes widen with fear for herself and for the girl. She offers a weak ‘ok’, but is understandably terrified.

What?  The mooks are rebelling?  Leadership them into obeying!  Nobody ignores the Donald!

We’ll roll Manipulation + Leadership vs the mooks’ composure, as they have no relevant skills. Trump rolls two crits and the mooks do as they are told. They are quite shaken, however, as if they don’t follow orders they believe they will not get their pills, however if they kill a teammate they may also not get their pills. They will refuse to do further harm to Sean.
Clearly this has distracted the mooks, making them nervous as one misses outright. The other would be easily dodged by Sean should he choose to do so. (You can decide that in your post Sean, but the rolls say that if you try to dodge it, you succeed. I did not increase the difficulty here, the mooks just rolled horribly.)

Noticing the mist, Mirella will find a nearby public bathroom. She'll step inside and disguise herself with her disguise kit, including wig and change of clothes. She'll put a wig on Butch, and spruce her up with some makeup, but will not go to the same effort as on herself. She will then find a cafe to sit in, watching the unnatural mist slowly descend.

Mirella and Butch blend into the patrons within a café

There is an eerie silence as the mist rolls in, falling over the whole town. It is hard for anyone to see three feet in front of them. On top the poor visibility a deathly silence falls over the whole town. The residents appear to have all shut themselves inside. There’s nothing, not the sound of a single car engine nor voice to be heard.

[S34N1C]

"Хорошо, now come with me."

Nikolai lets the woman get up , not releasing her hand. He pulls her to his side and walks calmly to a room on an upper floor with a window that overlooks the hospital.

[MidnightJaguar]

nah just take the blow. Might as well impresse the trump meister with my ressilaince.

[syvarris]

((Yay for Sialia!))

Trump accepts the punch to Sean, nodding and smiling to the mook who performed it.  Immediately after, his anger turns to the one who whiffed his punch. "What was that?!  Are you afraid to punch that moron?  That's sad, just terrible, you're terrible, afraid of him.  He's a coward who punched me and ran, he can't even fight, he's not tough, and so aren't you, you're soft.  Just so very sad."

Trump delivers the little batch of insults above, then seeing [whoever]'s gaze wandering behind him, turns to look at whatever spectacle is surprising enough to make someone stop admiring his majesty.  He quickly notices the approaching mist.  "That's disgusting.  We're leaving, before that reaches us.  Corrupt vampires, messing with the air to catch us.  We'll kill them all after it's gone!"  He then starts briskly marching towards the nearest building, which just so happens to be a school.

Let's go to school.

((Apologies, S34N, but I have the feeling a sniper won't be super helpful in this mist--and keeping the group together is a priority otherwise.  Plus, the school is full of delicious potential hostages.))

[Egan_BW]

"Ah, bugger it."

Grab my warbow and go to follow Trump.

[Sialia]

Mirella sees the others all converging on the school across the road. She exits, and reluctantly follows after them. She turns and smiles to Butch. 'I won't ever treat you that way, you know that? We're in this together, you and I.' She is of course in disguise and so she hopes that Trump won't be enough of an idiot as to mistake her for someone else. He would shoot first and ask questions later if that were the case.

[S34N1C]

((Nikolai is unaware of the fog, he's been inside for several turns. I'm also hoping I can get a shot at Lewinski before the fog gets too bad. Also, I doubt the vamps will care about us taking these children hostages))

[Sialia]

"Хорошо, now come with me."

Nikolai lets the woman get up , not releasing her hand. He pulls her to his side and walks calmly to a room on an upper floor with a window that overlooks the hospital.

The woman is not very composed. As they arrive at the room, she realises she is alone with this man who has both tried to seduce her and threaten her life. She needed this job, she needed it to support her dying mother and now she’ll be killed for it.
It can’t be helped, she begins crying.
Nikolai finds himself in an upper level of the old school chapel. The upper level has been disused for a number of decades with only staff access allowed. The old chapel has several doors leading off but only one small ladder up located behind the stage area. If you would like I’ll make a basic map later if it ends up mattering. The building has been connected to the rest of the school via an extension that appears much newer.

nah just take the blow. Might as well impresse the trump meister with my ressilaince.

The mook is not impressed with what he is having to do. The strength behind the punch is not what it should be. Sean’s armour soaks the punch (Because he’s wearing a goddamn shark suit!) however he would do well feign pain for the sake of pleasing the sadistic and vengeful trump.

((Yay for Sialia!))

Trump accepts the punch to Sean, nodding and smiling to the mook who performed it.  Immediately after, his anger turns to the one who whiffed his punch. "What was that?!  Are you afraid to punch that moron?  That's sad, just terrible, you're terrible, afraid of him.  He's a coward who punched me and ran, he can't even fight, he's not tough, and so aren't you, you're soft.  Just so very sad."

((Apologies, S34N, but I have the feeling a sniper won't be super helpful in this mist--and keeping the group together is a priority otherwise.  Plus, the school is full of delicious potential hostages.))

The mooks, torn between pride in their new status of secret service members and worry that Trump will order them to do something that causes them to lose access to their supply of pills, follow him loyally, but with caution.

"Ah, bugger it."

Grab my warbow and go to follow Trump.

You follow Trump, the team sticking together for the first time since the mission began.

Mirella sees the others all converging on the school across the road. She exits, and reluctantly follows after them. She turns and smiles to Butch. 'I won't ever treat you that way, you know that? We're in this together, you and I.' She is of course in disguise and so she hopes that Trump won't be enough of an idiot as to mistake her for someone else. He would shoot first and ask questions later if that were the case.

Mirella and Butch join the others.

The reception appears to be empty when the team enters. Nikolai has already left with her, and there is no real sign of a direction where they have gone. Rather, the teachers all appear to be gathering the children up in and walking them from the classrooms, all in the same direction...

The fog is now thick and dense. It weighs heavily in the air and like soot in the lungs. The team all have the slight nagging feeling they are being watched.

[S34N1C]

((I am really hoping that we aren't in a vampire elementary school))

"Shhh, it will be ok. . . "

Nikolai puts the woman in a sleeper hold until she loses consciousness. He then sets her down and assembles his rifle. He opens the window and gauges the visibility at this height.

[Egan_BW]

"Now, surely this building is destructible. Damn lazy devs, putting in invincible buildings."

Stick a nice big remote bomb by the entrance. Get an arrow and remote ready to fire.

[Aigre Excalibur]

Maybe I'll let Sialia GM this segment, she can improvise the story better than I can.

Yea I was doing the exam fretting thing.

So... here's my sheet, can I play?

Baron Tangorn of Gondor

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Bio: Baron Tangorn, Lieutenant of Gondor is a veteran of the war of the ring. He spent his early career as an agent of the Gondorian foreign station in Umbar, and later as an infantry commander during the war. As a spy, he is a linguistics expert, and good at analyzing unknown languages. He is also an accomplished swordsman who has gone blade to blade with the many monsters of his world.

The Baron also has an insufferable sense of honor. He is the sort of idealist who would choose according to his conscience, consequences be damned. His career in espionage would have been interesting, if he didn't make the switch to the mainline military.

One day, while taking a bath, the good Baron fell through a gap in the worlds into this one.
