Hellraiser
Arcane
I'm voting B) for first and C) for second.
Yep. That's why I didn't suggest it. Seems like the older vamps enjoy every opportunity to mock poor Tony. Case and point, the short chair right after he became a Baron. I wouldn't be surprised if they organized a boycott of his soiree just to cause him to look the fool.Also imagine the horror. -The horror-. Of inviting everyone to your party and having no kindred attend.EDIT: That being said, such a classless display of wealth might very well end up pissing more people off than it would endear. Especially since that's precisely what happened the last time it was used.
Cripps would be beside you snorting phlegm like there was no tomorrow. And you can just count on the Nos to spread that info everywhere.
And on a metagame note: I could totally see grotsnik giggling as he wrote something similar to what SerratedBiz just wrote about Cripps. Remember the turd "floating merrily by" after Tony decided on that jaunt to the sewers?
And a limited zone of control it will be. I'm not saying that Anthony should have a monopoly on all relations between kine and kindred because that's impossible. However, he can have a temporary monopoly on the relationship between certain groups. Say a banker needs some info that the Nos can get. Will the banker go to the Nos directly? Of course not. He doesn't even know they exist. Wouldn't know how to approach them in the first place. Will the Nos contact him? Not likely. They don't give a shit about him. But Anthony can make the whole thing work and become more or less indispensable to both sides.
Choice 3
A) (DOMINATE.) Attempt to Dominate him to find out more. No more playing around.
Choice 4
A) It's been a long night. I think I'll just beat these little thin-blood pricks to death.
B) Why not let them take me to the Sabbat? I think I'd quite like to have a word with them. (Risky. Very risky.)
Choice 9
A) Help whoever’s trapped in there.
C) Well, since whoever’s in there will most likely be burnt alive anyway…I might as well head up there and drain them.
Choice 11
A) With the utmost care, lure several of the smaller body-worms up into Karthik's crates and return them to the surface.
Choice 12
C) Investigate Ogham in London, visiting the Tremere.
D) Plan for an expedition north - to Castle Howard. This could involve buying up muscle, gaining supplies, investigating its history...
E) An expedition into Chinatown.
Choice 13
C) Get someone to impersonate a friendly Sabbat party through Obfuscate
Choice 16
D) Agree to Eames' proposition (LIE).
Choice 17
A) Once Angelos is on the ledge, the bomb goes off. If Jamieson hasn't thought through how to escape, that's his problem. We're too close to dawn to delay this.
B) We call in the cavalry early; give Jamieson a reason to head up to the surface. He can always bluff that the Sheriff's people must have found the Caecilian. But will Angelos stay where he is if he hears the Camarilla are coming, or will he try to make his escape?
C) We wait. We can't afford to lose Jamieson. Hopefully he can find an excuse to get away from the caves of his own accord.
Choice 18
How will you respond to Dubrik's request?
A) Accept.
B) Refuse.
Choice 21
Where will you sleep, at the end of tonight?
A) There’s no place like home.
B) Eames’ rooms will be the safest.
C) Maybe I could stay at Fellowes’.
The discussion shifts onto less important matters; the question of the late Rannigan’s replacement, an ongoing squabble between two Toreador establishments in Soho, the matter of a certain ghoul working for a famous London newspaper…
That would ahve earned us the attention of the press and of Scotland Yard detective.The Burning House choice is a Humanity opportunity that we missed. Well, Codex consensus missed.
That would be poor larping bro, Anthony is not that type of guy.
The way I see it, Anthony is loyal to those that show loyalty to him, and only because it suits him to be an inspiring figure. As much as we like our buddies, we're Ventrue, we're destined for great things...Edgar and Erika are merely muscle, and Humphrey is just a pawn.Anthony has done some evil things. Probably the worst thing he's done is framed two innocent people so that he could protect a child molester with powerful political connections that he could exploit.
However... he also has shown a surprising amount of loyalty toward Eddie, Erika and even Humphrey. I think that his background of war trauma allows him to retain at least some faint echo of Humanity. He is a nasty motherfucker, but I don't think he's totally irredeemable.
I have an idea guys, let's flee London and start searching for Golconda.
Fuk yeah, middle eastern adventure, getting into proper PTSD.I have an idea guys, let's flee London and start searching for Golconda.
grotsnik, do you know how many words you wrote in the first 24 Chapters? Im guessing you know.
57.000, half a novel. Including the second part, a full novel.
What would have happened if we tried to dominate Karthik?
A) It's been a long night. I think I'll just beat these little thin-blood pricks to death.

He leans forward. A faint, eerie scarlet glow begins to creep over the top of his sunglasses.
