Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition Interest Check - Still Recruiting! Ignore post count.

I'm considering starting a VtM campaign, acting as the storyteller, for the guild. We would be using the core rulebook for the fifth edition as the primary source material.

If there is enough interest in the system alone, I will open a thread for the roleplay and we will go from there. As it stands, I'm looking for four players, no more, and I'd start with three.

Feel free to ask questions; I'll do my best to answer.

Edit: My game is not designed to let you be super heroes who are vampires. Actions have consequences, the world is full of things that can kill you in a heartbeat, and you're the second from the bottom on the totem pole. You've got some neat tricks to keep you alive, but you're gonna have to make damn good use of them.

I got an 11 for my init.

Alright, post up.

@Mae Does Einkil know how to activate the wand, given my previous roll to understand it, and my perception roll to hear the activation phrase?

[5E] Peasants of Mass Destruction

Einkil had been right next to the once-old wizard as he spoke, and had done his best to listen carefully to ensure he knew what needed said to invoke the wands. Having held one in hand, felt the power in it, he was fairly certain he knew what it did, and how to make use of it. Saying he was eager to give it a go was something of an understatement, and with more than a dozen already in hand; He felt he had ammunition aplenty.

(Perception check to hear what the wizard said to activate the wand: 19)

When the wizard had reversed in age, though, that gave Einkil pause. As short of words at the moment as the crowd, he could only nod in reply when asked about his brews, something he would normally go on about at great length. While he tried to regain his composure, though, an orc approached the small group-himself, the wizard, and oddly enough a kobold-with his weapon drawn. A firm grip on the wand, Einkil had full intent to unleash its power on the perceived threat if things turned hostile.

(Ready Action: Fire the wand at Krusk if he makes a hostile action against a dwarf.)

Speaking low to the wizard, he addresses him in dwarven. "Do not worry much about the green skin. If he proves a problem, the swamp is filled with places to dump vermin. As it stands, kinsman, I believe you should tend to yourself. Your display seems to have cost you a bit of manhood. You look as young as a pup."

Einkil was about to speak to the orc, but Bartholomew got in the way. The tavern keeper was well known to Einkil, even when he wasn't sober, and trusted as a regular client. He seemed intent on peace, which suited Einkil's preference just fine, but with a kinsman, missing his golden years no less, and himself under the press of an orc given a seemingly self-appointed badge, he was not inclined to lower his guard. He would speak, though, this time in common.

"Aye, orc. Ye'd do bast teh listen teh Bartholomew. Put awey yer stick an stop posturin'. Ken ye nah see when ah man is no a man no more? Begger issues at han' then suckin'the shereff's cock." As always, his accent was thick and his drunkenness did no favors to clearing it. If he recognized the local blacksmith, he showed no signs of it. At this point, his emotions were fairly easy to read; A desire to protect his kinsman, and a lack of respect for law enforcement.

Obviously he is speaking of the dwarf selling the wands.

@Kenshi

You mean the one standing next to the crate of open wands, holding an armful of them, or the one giving a live demonstration?

Keeping in mind; dwarves don't like orcs, Einkil has no love for the law, and dwarves have a habit of loyalty to each other with little hesitation.

[5E] Peasants of Mass Destruction

@Kenshi Please specify which dwarf. You mentioned guard, and Einkil is technically a criminal.

[5E] Peasants of Mass Destruction

@Mae
19 If I did this correctly.

Well, that's amusing

[5E] Peasants of Mass Destruction

@Necroes 1d20 + int since he's still trying to use it like a wand. You can either make a dice campaign or use an old one if you have one

@Mae

Could you please expand on this? I've literally never used dice rolls on this website before. Every dice game I do online always has a matching discord server devoted to dice rolls.

[5E] Peasants of Mass Destruction

@Necroes +wis if Einkil's using it inappropriately to stir a pot or something, +int if he's genuinely trying his best to be magical. Technically with magic missile you're supposed to have a target, but I like this way better.

@Mae

How and where would you like me to roll? Currently, Einkil was just wagging the damn thing around, and is using it as a pointing stick. The rich guy is the current 'target' though Einkil isn't actually actively trying to use it.

[5E] Peasants of Mass Destruction

@Mae Well, if we're going to be rail-roaded, might as well get to the meat of the matter. What do I need to roll to determine if Einkil accidently fires off the wand?
