yes, clever of you not to specify which week it will be amidst

HOLLYWOOD
In the last episode, we were instructed by the prince to recover the sarcophagus from the local museum. Let's go.
In the last episode, we were instructed by the prince to recover the sarcophagus from the local museum. Let's go.
Well, if that scared you, just you wait till I start throwing my weight around in there
The mission is geared towards stealth, but this ain't Thief, so fighting your way through the museum is the more fun ( and easier ) option
the Aztec section
We take a vent into one of the offices
and surprise one of the guards
The email will give us a clue about the statue we have to recover for Pisha
BANG BANG
MUNCH MUNCH
more notes
We get into a bit of bother as we descend the stairs. Two cops ahead of us, two right behind.
We take cover behind the corners to stem the bullet storm
and put the last cop through the bullet proof glass
more notes
this window here is breakable. easy to miss on your first playthrough
and so we grab the fetish. note the Venus of Willendorf on the tabletop.
More dinos
this thing roars if you walk under it. got me the first time.
we continue onwards through a secure corridor
and finally, the storage area
goddamit
Beckett?? What are you doing here?
Did you get to examine it at all?
antediluvians?
gehenna?
caine?
thin-boos?
are there other signs?
why aren't you a believer?
how long have you been studying all this?
i .. can't quite recall what i chose here. probably 'evolution'
I agree
Goodbye, Beckett. Till we meet again.
We snatch the dinosaur as we leave the museum.
***************
***************
We drive back downtown, and pop into the abandoned wreck to hand off the statue
here
fascinating. I'll be back with the italian cook-book in a few days.
She gives us some parting words of wisdom
Alright then.
We hurry through the lobby and take the elevator to the prince
*Ahem*
Everyone respects your leadership
Yeah, yeah, what's all this about?
It has been stolen
I-
Ga-
I'll find Gary
Before we go, I pay a quick visit to Max Strauss. He has nothing new to say, but I find a new room. It may have been closed before.
Also, we stop over at the Last Round
Yeah..
Sure does. Should have seen the tantrum he threw when I told him it was stolen
Why though?
No, I haven't
what does this have to do with the prince?
what should i do?
Peace.
We walk back to our apartment. Heather has already moved in.
WHAT?? Where is he?
I'll deal with this
No you won't.
He disappeared. Rip.
Dump his body somewhere inconspicuous
We restart the conversation for more dialogue
Some people want me dead. It might have been them.
Jealousy, maybe. Just be careful.
And your appearance .. change it
When I get back, I hope I'm in for a pleasant surprise
*****************
We go to Hollywood to meet up with Isaac the baron. Some guy accosts us as we arrive.
Where is he?
I'll go over there right now.
But first, some sightseeing.
Asp Hole is en route to Isaac's, so we stop over.
Instrumental of this would have been amazing
Zoomer weeb
I don't know. Maybe if I saw the top of your head.
She'll be back for more
Booorn to be wiiild
I bet you will
We head upstairs to meet with the patron
You got a problem?
So?
Who are you?
C'mon tell me
Nice to meet you
The fuck is your problem?
I don't like your attitude
I'll hurt you if you keep this up
Something is seriously wrong with you, pal
What?
See who?
Ooh, you mean that retard with the plastic katana?
I can help
No
I'm a helpful sort
The sewers
yes, let's go
Ow ow ow
Well, a good time to frenzy, I guess
We get our hands on the crossbow
The sewers are teeming with hunters, and they can pack quite a punch
Unfortunately, for some reason, my upgraded Blood Salvo glitched out in this section, being limited to only one strike until the blood was finished with its 'retrieval'. This meant that I couldn't spam 3 or 4 attacks in a row like I could Salvo, hampering my ability to control the crowd.
Cover me Ash
GOVER ME ASH FFS
Back again
COVER ME ASH
Phew
And .. fuck off already
We climb out of the sewers for a nasty surprise
The mexican man that had greeted us outside burger king lunges at us with a knife
We obviously get the better of him, but ..
that triggers the cops. I killed a person of colour, even though it was in self defence.
We steal around the back and go to the jewellery store
This must be isaac's place
I'm looking for the Nosferatu.
Any idea where they are?
What do you want?
I'll make the pickup
I have some questions first
Thanks Isaac
We head back out
*******************
Some random stranger walks up to us..
I'm fine
Who are you?
You've made a mistake. I don't know you.
Samantha, you can't tell anyone you saw me..
And off she goes.. wish I have boil blood right now
And that's another masquerade violation. Thanks Sam. We blend in with the shadows whilst she's one the phone. When she hangs up, we're already gone.
Luckee Star Motel is up here as well. We have a keycard for a room. Let's see what's inside.
Just taking a look around
You a writer?
What kind of horror?
What do you know about vampires?
I see..
We leave him to his writing and head upstairs
We open the door just in time to see a grisly murder. The killer supermans out of the window before we can react.
Damn. Oldschool adidas logo. A true gopnik.
He does drop another clue - a Brothers Salvage card.
That's in Santa Monica. Should remember that.
There's a body in one of your rooms
Damn right
************************
We meander around Hollywood and sneak inside Red Spot's storage
Free monster drinks
We pop inside the Asp Hole to see if we've missed something
nothing interesting. So we go back and enter red spot proper.
2 cans of Damasco : check
1 packet of Chops Ahoy: check
and 1 roll of Poop Catchers: check
Nah man, I just want to buy these..
What's going on around here, anyways?
Anything else?
Great, I'll go check it out
Ok, I'll bite
Don't need anything at the moment, bro. You hear anything new about that serial killer?
(he doesn't tell us anything new or interesting)
Isaac's quest leads us to the internet cafe ( feel old yet? )
We walk around and log in to a few random computers
and then another pc..
and then another pc..
finally..
Alright.
We leave the cafe and meander some more. I head towards the back alley, but am soon waylaid by the bedazzling neon lights of the Sin Bin
Hey
What is this place?
Sounds like it. Tell about a few places around the town. Asp Hole
Vesuvius
that eastern-looking abandoned place
you have any..hardware?
We leave Flynn by the counter and scoop out the basement. His office lock cannot withstand our skill.
Fritz, get the sturmgewehr
You can also pay 5 bucks to see a fat woman try to dance
We exit the Bin and go to Vesuvius
There's a man doing lunges in a back alley
We find a newspaper
hey, isn't that the one we just saw at the bin?
Special, you say? What, you gonna smother me with the layers of lard on your thighs?
We peek into the side rooms
doomer
And finally we reach the centerpiece
Who are you?
Lead the way
Are you a Toreador?
Your passion
Appreciate it
What should I ask?
tell me about the hunters before we get the fingers involved
want me to kill her?
you don't have to ask twice
Few questions before I go..
Tell me about yourself..
so you're a stripper?
Of course.. Is Velvet your real name?
How did you become kindred?
...
We go back to the Bin
Now this part ended up being glitched. You're supposed to pick the machine, leading to client 1 leaving, then auto-lock the little windows from the main pc, which would lead to client 2 leaving, THEN kill chastity. Problem is that client 1 never leaves in my game.
This is the only time I've seen client 1 go out of the booth
I reloaded and stole the money before he reached it, but he never came out again..
even if chastity sees me and draws her sword, she doesn't leave the dance room..
where did she hide that sword?
We go back up to Flynn and ask him about Chastity
she'll do
we find a note pinned to the wall
but that fat fuck just stays there forever
with all other options exhausted, I resort to noclipping
We run out of the Bin just as the cops arrive
the sewers offer a respite from the gunfire and the cops. When they leave, we go to Vesuvius
the hunter's dead
Well, next time don't send me on a mission I have no chance of finishing ffs.
She soon changes the subject to her next quest
literally who?
Oh..
death?
So you want me to kill Hatter?
She DOESN't want me to kill Hatter. She wants the kindred, but Hatter's not to be harmed
What's there to do in Hollywood, VV?
Whaddaya think of Ash?
..
We go back to the motel
Do you have an extra copy of the manuscript?
I know a few people..
He wants to be famous too..
I guess Santa Monica is our next stop
We walk into our apar-
..
She calls you 'master' and walks around your home in her underwear. First Arcanum, now this. Troika will forever be the most based game studio. Looking at Outer Worlds, you can't help but lament their downfall.
She has a third attire as well.
We check our email
Caine is spamming my email with more PGNs
Dark thoughts cloud my mind. Jack's words resurface in my memory.
"when a vampire drains another more powerful vampire to death"
"when a younger vampire diablerizes an elder, the younger vampire gains all their powers"
What did he mean by 'drains'?
I'm Jeanette's elder, and am much more powerful.. Perhaps she's not as innocent as she looks..
We leave Heather to strut around our apartment and head down to the beach for a one-to-one with Julius
You've been wagging your tongue
the punishment is death
they aren't my rules
I wish I could Julius, but my low humanity has locked me out of any choice
Time to d-d-d-d-d-dd-die
Brother's salvage is nearby
the suspense is killing me..
we're attacked by a guy who seems to be flinging cars our way
we pursue him through the car park
FUG FUG FUCK GUF FUK
care to plead your case?
Murderers? Tell me what happened
Well, when you put it that way..
what did you think of when you killed them?
and now?
you're letting the beast take over
control the beast, lest you must answer to the sheriff
listen to me..
I'll waste no more time on you..
******************
VV, here's the manuscript
sure
and I took care of the source as well
how much do you appreciate it?
Well that's that.
We leave Vesuvius for good.
Isaac's courier is in the alley, as promised
The tape. Isaac sent me.
Relax. What's going on?
that bad, huh
what is it?
just give me the tape
he runs behind the corner and disappears with a sound of a manhole opening and closing. you can find the gore in the sewer.
Back at Isaac's
he didn't have it
said his life was in danger. turned out he was right.
No. He did mention Ginger Swan though, before he died.
where is she?
the internet cafe has some pertinent info
the entrance to the graveyard is hidden away in an alleyway. We get attacked by a ginger hunter on our way there.
cool torch. Gimme.
We walk inside
who are you?
so you kill zombies?
sounds fun
What do I do?
why, do you turn if they do?
I'll do it
Fun mission. With blood salvo, at least. Not sure it'd be much fun with a pure melee build.
We go into his shack and take all his ammunition..
The graveyard houses the mausoleum where Ginger Swan is, presumably, interred
yep
and here's the tape
She gets cornered and attacked by some weird monsters
so they're connected, somehow?
where do we find it
smut, eh? i know just where to look.
Flynn!
ever heard of Death Mask Productions?
I have a certain tape..
I need to find them
I'm a collector
thanks for the info
wish I could, Flynn. Wish I could.
We arrive
and here we get another jumpscare. It's a good one. One of these langolier-looking mofos bursts down the door and comes at me. We smash his head in with our torch
they start coming thick and fast. Their attacks hurt, but their hitboxes are finnicky, and you can usually knock them out of the air before they cycle through the animation
the place is one of those babe-tv channel studios
"Yeah, Tim. We'll put a dead hooker right on the floor, right here. And guess what, we'll make her look underage as well! He he"
We finally find a survivor
You were doing some pretty cool stuff down here
Here's the 2nd half of the tape
Mansion in the hills, he said
Hmm
Yes, got the full tape. Put it on.
The full tape isn't much better. We get a shot of the woman entering the house.
Thanks Isaac..
Who then?
Taxi-man, speed me to the king's! We're a-huntin' fiends!
******************
Modern architecture is a crime against humanity
more biters
I think this makes me heal 25% faster?
Oy! No running in the hallways!
there he is. a full grown groyper.
I think one of your underlings shat itself as I whacked it
Not really. Mind explaining what exactly is going on here?
Dunno really. What's going on?
"The sewers are clogged with my creations"
You're with the sabbat then? What's the plan..
Did you make these little turds-with-teeth yourself?
Where did *wheeze* you get the *wheeze* .. raw materials for the operation?
Are you related to brother Kanker perchance? Anyways, those machines you "created" are a bit ugly, and a bit broken
Must have been a lot of "work" to create these "machines"
Ah, "metamorphoses", of course..
I tire of this bollocks. Time to clean up the shit.
Well that was easy
We open the hatch and delve deeper into the sewers
blah blah blah, noises here, noises there, got lost, HELP ME
I can't memorize dis.
we find an ammo crate
never knew american sewers had turd combine harvesters in them
We break it and climb over
The controls flood/drain two reservoir tanks
I spend 8 minutes floating back and forth trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, until I have up and noclipped to the reservoir exit.
Woooahh..
We're spat out in the old sewer system, which houses more formidable strains of Tzimmy's creations
WHACK! BAM!
I'm so bored of this mission by now that I start to speedrun, trying to run away from fights and taking a lot of hits in the process
We come upon something resembling an arena, and sure enough a mini-boss of sorts pops out
She kills me, so I restart..
By now I've upgraded my Tremere magic to full, giving me the 'Blood boil' ability
Once we reach the arena, I climb up the ladder and out of reach of the 4 armed bitch. She resorts to throwing dead bodies my way, to no avail.
She's dead
A long drop down
The last stretch is the toughest. Those 4 armed fems and fatties infest these sewers, making this a war of attrition. I try my luck by running, but..
.. I end up in a dead end, where a Nosferatu is getting pasted. It doesn't take them long..
2nd attempt, I methodically exterminate every single enemy, kiting the big ones whilst burning through my ammunition supplies
still hasn't seen me..
oh..
There's a key here
It unlocks the final door
and finally, we reach safety
Nosferatu's abode is grim, with a smattering of neon signs scattered across the rocky walls
Could have used some help
Some questions
what is this place?
not many people here
what do you do?
I can help
What do I do?
How did you wind up here?
I'm sorry
Is Gary here?
Next up is this beauty
Who?
And you are?
And your last name?
Why not just kill Tawni?
So what's stopping you?
I'll help you
What are you hoping to find?
What's my payment?
Ok, I'm in
And here's Gary's place
Show yourself
Come out so we can talk
Where are you?
What do you want?
I'm here about he sarcophagus
why'd you ask then?
show yourself
yes, come out
Who are you?
where's the sarcophagus?
I got rid of Tzimmy for you
A Kue what now?
tell me more
deal
aren't the kindred at war with them?
got anything for protection?
I'll do it. But you keep your end of the deal, you hear me?
Then it's as good as done
We leave Gary and climb up some rickety planks of wood
Fresh air!
That's it (thankfully) for today. Next episode is sweeping up in hollywood and paying a visit to chinatown.

as an ancient philosopher once said, i want to have the gods piss on you from a great height be a vampire
hello friend sphere, how goes the update?
badly
in all seriousness, I've had to cut down on gaming due to life stuff. I also had the galaxy brain idea to do all the nosferatu quests before going to chinatown. Unfortunately, all of them are stealth based. I have a steadfast commitment to not cheat in my LPs, so I spent a big chunk of time brute forcing them via save scumming (1 of them I just gave up on and killed everyone anyway). And I still have 1 of those quests left to do in Hollywood.
Delterius
Arcane
as a tremere you can just dominate level 1 and make everyone go sleepy sleepy as you clumsily stealth around them
Do I have it or is it something you have to upgrade to? And will it work unconditionally of other stats? From what I recall I have auspex and then that bloodbuff thing
Good. It would be best if we manage to get this thread to the next page before that. Reading it is a pain at the moment.
better?
A lot. Thank you.
what foul creature goes bump in the night
Oh the list of possibilities is endless:
1. Zombies from the Hollywood graveyard.
2. Zombies from the Giovanni mansion.
3. Bishop Vick's plague zombies.
4. The freshly turned Sabbat Setite guy from the Clan Quest Mod.
5. Andrei's creations, especially the weird fat dudes who shoot you with stuffies from their left arm.
6. Grout's patients.
Aaaand we're there.
Aaaand we're there.
