Quote: 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.Liu Xi won't hurt him unless she's forced to - and he'd have to turn *really* evil for that to happen - but she'll be upset and stop talking to him if he sells out the Lair Legion. That's what I referred to, of why he's probably more afraid of her than the LL. All the LL can do is hunt him down and arrest him - Liu Xi can curse him with loneliness...and then hurt his conscience by not asking the Psychic Samurai to remove his living quarters. Quote: 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.Actually I was thinking she might be able to talk to the old vampire as a peer instead, or get his blood back for him so it's not in evil's hands. Quote: 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.Except for eating the buffet table. Quote: 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.Lara can avoid the clans of the night. And she'd only have to long enough for the contest to finish. She would *want* to meet Vrykolakus though, either to make it clear just what everyone has been doing with his blood (in case he'd disapprove), or maybe to make a better deal with him to take it back. Either way she knows the blood is way too dangerous to be passed from hand to hand, so she'd find a way to get rid of it. Quote: 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.Lara can be very patient when it's the object of the "game", but if people are just wasting her time she won't wait too long before losing her patience. | |||||||
