Shovelheads minus a leash are dangerous things.

After sucking Bellisa dry in the basement of the hotel the shovelheads recovered their senses enough to try and figure out what happened.

Through the pain and the violence of their embrace it was never made obvious they are vampires. That indoctrination comes after the madness of digging yourself out of the packed earth.

The two shovelheads are trying to just get home. They are staying off the streets and cutting across plantations and yards... This yard, was a bad idea to cross.

The cameras will pick them up as soon as they come over the wall. A pair of bloody, ragged, muddy pale freaks. One looking distinctly Nosferatu...

 "Sir, we have intruders on the lawn," says Jiles after a brief knock on the door.

"Full alert Jiles, tell them to shoot to kill. Immediately moving to a vantage point where I could have a better perspective. I start  leaving the room and as I clear the threshold of the door, appear out of the doorway leading to one of the higher balconies.

I survey my demesne looking for the errant visitors. I expect the gunfire or wards to be the first I will see as to my visitors whereabouts.

The Dogs are the first thing the regent will hear. The trained guardians are rushing across the lawn at breakneck speeds barking their heads off.

Two figures are sprinting across the well manicured fields. They had made it maybe a quarter of the way across the yard before the dogs were realeased... Someone probably thought they were neighborhood kids until a camera got a good look at them...

Upon seeing the intruders the Regent reaches out his hand summoning the arcane formula and erupting a live flame into his hand (Lure of Flames)
2008-08-07 18:05:18 Regent Thaddeus  rolls 8 dice to Lure of Flames (Bonfire) (Diff 7) 8,4,4,7,9, 9,10,3 (5 successes)

He targets the first, hurling the ball of flame and engulfing the Kindred. [(Diff 7 to soak with Fortitude, otherwise no soak)  2 aggravated wounds/round while engulfed and Rotschreck rolls for both]

"Thou art as vermin within this demesne, thou hast emperelled thine lives, There is no escape..."

I just decided to give our guest a little supprise as Two Black oak began to protect the chantry. The Oaks have order to not let the guest get away as they move toward their oppents.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The fireball engulfs the first, and obviously Nosferatu blooded kindred. He stops running and stands with his arms out at his sides like a flaming scarecrow, his scream dies in his throat as the fire purges the oxygen from his lungs and the air around him.

The area around him is suddenly brightly lit, his friend, the skinny, junkie looking female flies into the red fear. Her panicked screams fill the air as she tries to flee, only to find herself caught beetween a high wall and a suddenly moving tree...

 I stare at the woman screaming burning another blood, willing my strength to pick her up.

2008-08-08 09:30:26 Regent Thaddeus  rolls 8 dice to Movement of the Mind (3) 1,4,2,1,5, 2,7,8 (failure)

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Kindred engulfed in flames seems to accept his death. Calm as a Hindu cow he stands there with his arms out and his head thrown back. The magical flames roar around him and he drops to his knees as his flesh is eaten from his bones....

The Tree ent swats the girl into the wall. She turns on it and hisses in vain, her frenzied state makes her even less capable of coming up with a plan of attack against an animated tree.

She is caught off guard when it suddenly slams down on her and pins her to the ground, she wrestles and flails against the branches in vain.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Wont bother attacking, she cant do anything to it anyway.

Ent  1 roots begin to encompress the pin girl and began to tighten like chains. Ent 2 just make sure the girl can't escape it mighty branches.

Sebastion and my ghouls walk up to secure the situation. My ghouls follow the regent order to kill on sight as they began to fire at Nos.

(Occ I'm just going to say that it a relent to death)
The spread of bullet take out the nos who was just waiting for death.
Sebastion look at the ghouls and says,"We are taking the other alive." The Ent 1 began to drag girl back to the slave quarter as the rest follow keeping the guard up for any more surprises.

The Nos was dead even before the bullets ripped his mostly Ash and Bone body to shreds... He crumples into a smoldering pile on the grass. The magical flames dissapearing as the final Death takes him...

The second Kindred cant hope to defeat or escape from the mighty tree ents. She screams her head off and claws wildly but to no avail. She will be taken prisoner...

I send one of my lackey to get chains,  and a gag as we wait till we transfer her inside the slave quarters. I have me ent raised specific body part so my ghouls can chains and gag her once she is secure i open door and head down stairs.



moving to a new thread.

Why?
------

 Having thwarted the obvious intruders, the Regent is still a bit concerned it was but a ruse for the truly daunting foes. He places everyone on high alert, to shoot whomever breaches the grounds and the dogs are to be loosed throughout the night.

(occ oh it may go on for a while)

 Again the slaves quarters shall have visitors. After about an hour. I will descend into them to greet our guest and determine the nature of our visit this evening.

She has been chain and moved to a cell.

The prisoner has been freaking out ever since she was chained and gagged. Bloody tears run down her face and she struggles endlessly. She screams into the gag and generally carries on like a pcp-freak out mental patient.

 I enter dressed in dark 'work' clothes. I have done this before, the last occasion with the ghoul so delightfully given by Hyde. This is a bit different though, this is my realm of expertise.

I entertain myself searching through the various surgical implements I keep here for looks, they have no use other then intimidation. I turn walking toward her slowly "Calm Down".

2008-08-14 18:13:51 Thaddeus rolls 7 dice to Command (calm) (Diff 4) 10,2,5,4,2, 4,8,10,4 (7 successes)

She immediately becomes quiet and complacent, exactly what I want. "So it would appear that you siege was ill-concieved, what was your purpose here?" walking and catching her gaze.

2008-08-14 18:30:59 Thaddeus rolls 8 dice to Conditioning  (Diff 4) 10,5,8,2,1, 4,6,1,1 (2 successes)

The panicked lick just stares at the regent with wide eyes. She breathes heavily even though she has no reason to... she smells like dirt and bonfire...

'My what?.. i have no idea what your talking about man.. something happened to me and Luke, i was just trying to go home...'
