Quote: That's quite an accusation at the end there. It can't be true, because I'm not sure Vinnie wants to risk making Liu Xi angry at him. Yes, I'm suggesting he's more afraid of her than of the Lair Legion. I don't think Vinnie's afraid of either her or the Legion. He's grown up in a very intimidating family and he had to find the guts to walk away from them when he chose to be different to them. He's not going to back down from doing what's right because someone might be cross at him now, or he;d be back home with his mother planning his wedding right now. On the other hand Vinnie doesn't like upsetting people, especially people he likes, and very especially people he'd like to know a whole lot better, so he'd want to avoid making Liu Xi mad at him because (a) he doesn't want her to be unhappy and (b) he bought a new matress a while back. Quote: I'm guessing Grace will take the rest of the evening off to investigate, because from her point of view this doesn't sound like something that she can risk leaving to chance.Grace has a job to do at the ER and that comes first for her. Mostly though she has no way of tracking the blood or of getting to Europe and she knows that the LL are on the case. The other issue is that Grace couldn't really take Vrykoulakos anyway. She got a major power boost from drinking Nosferos' blood a couple of years ago but to really access those powers she'd have to give in to her vampiric nature. It's like an alcoholic artist who can only paint masterpieces when he's drunk. Grace is having to be very careful. She could be one of the most potent undead on the planet, but she wouldn't still be Grace. Quote: They still don't have the vial of blood, though, so that makes the Legion 1 for 3 so far.Yep. Could be a problem, that. Quote: And I can see even the Shoggoth, a loathsome elder-being, showing heroic leanings - talking patiently to the crooked "businessmen", only intimidating them in a limited fashion. The Shoggoth isn't too bothered about most things but he does tend to be proactive on issues of slavery, demonic pacts, worshippers of Fairly Great Old Ones, and occult dabblers. When he's with the LL he also tries to play by their rules as he understands them. Quote: I created Lara Night as more of a grey-area hero. She negotiates too, and limits the amount of violence she uses, but her patience is much more limited. She probably would have taken the vial of blood by force or deception and made a quick escape instead, for efficiency's sake.Then she'd have walked into the trap by breaking the truce. She might have got away with the blood for a while but her problems would only just have started. She'd be hunted by the clans of the night until venegance was theirs, and Vrykolakus himself could track the blood and find her whenever he wanted. Quote: I just threw that in because I thought it interesting that the Shoggoth used a lot more patience than Lara probably would have.  The Shoggoth wasn't really being patient because that would indicate that he was in any way bothered. However, he did leave his wet sticky calling card to remind people of just what a bad idea it is to cross him before he left. | |||||||
