Still heading for the exit for fresh air.

Tell the bouncers he's going to get lucky.

You lead each other and make it to the bouncers at the main entrance. Both bouncers at the main entrance smile at your comment, and you know all 6 bouncers watched you often as you flirted and put on a show for any of the wealthy gamblers that helped you with a bet, as they rotated through their bi-hourly shifts. The one closest approaches and says, "Well, we know you'll be back before midnight for the car drawing. We'll just hold these for you until you get back, and make sure nothing happens to them..." He grabs the rack of black chips your holding, and after he takes them as your heading towards the exit, you quickly calculate that you had something north of 5,000gp in chips... you watch them put it in a seperate drawer and put your name on it behind him in the bouncer section.

Ashe's turn: you rolled a '15' and can act normally this round as your focus goes in and out, but your feeling great stays constant. You briefly remember the last two rounds while you were spacing out the serving girl flirting with you and leading you back to your old seat in the bar area. Ashe's turn...

After Ashe, Telgarth rolls a '1' and is completely out of it this round, then Blade's turn, then Angel rolls a '4', then Ember rolls a '12' and can act after Blade. Ashe's turn, then Blade's turn, then Ember's turn...

Oops! Blade, then Ashe's turn, then Blade's turn again, then Ember's turn...

You guys are rolling horrible on keeping focus...

Ill try and lead the serving girl to the exit. If she doesn't want to go then I will head myself. Move and a move.

Okay. What do you do/say to her to get her to follow you? (in character)

Blade's turn, then this turn, then Blade's turn again, then Ember's turn...

Let's go somewhere a little more private. I know just the place."

I will attempt to free myself and Telgarth.

Krystoff wrote:Let's go somewhere a little more private. I know just the place."

She tells you, "I love that idea!" as she uses every excuse to brush up against you (some of them pretty flimsy) as you both randomly burst into fits of laughter. You don't ever remember feeling this good... <arm in arm with your new lady friend, you do 2 1/2 speed moves toward the main entrance.>

Ross wrote:I will attempt to free myself and Telgarth.

Naturally, but what does Blade say & do to accomplish this? You see Ember & Angel about to walk past the bouncers through the main entrance, and a hot serving girl just grabbed both yours & Telgarth's elbows in a very flirtateous manner and is attempting to lead you north to a table where you can gamble and she can bring you both some bread soup, which is great for someone who drank too much, and it's really tasty! You also see Ashe coming out of the bar arm in arm with another serving girl with a 'getting a room' look in their eyes. They both look like they're having a great time.

It is Blade's turn, then Ashe's actions above, then Blade again... (then Ember's turn)

When they touch me and raise up my hands and say angrily, "I hate being touched man. Keep your grubby hands to yourself. And don't be touching my boy either. Your food here sucks so we are leaving to get some McKeyD's and be back later for some more gambling.

Say to the bouncer, I'll be back for my money daring. If l don't get it back I'll be very anger with you. And trust me, you won't like that!

I'll leave with Angel with my hand on his ass guiding him to safety.

At that, she let's go of both of you, looks up at one of the cameras pointing to you two and holds her hands up to the camera, then starts walking off, leaving you alone...

Your first move puts you mostly out of the entry area between the 2 doors, and your second move action puts you and Angel outside. You see Blade & Telgarth just walked out of the casino too.

After Ember goes, you see that both Ashe & his new lady friend both seemed to be lost in a hilarious story (both missed their saves, so Ashe didn't move toward the exit, and she didn't move him back towards the bar). The parking lot is sparsely populated and you don't see any casino staff outside. From outside the casino, you lose track of Ashe.

Once out, Telgarth can act normally (next), then Angel is distracted, then Ember can act normally, then Ashe can act normally, then Blade's turn. What does the party do next?

Interesting, does Blade think the effect is a combination of the food and presence of 'vampires?' Go to the car, rest if there is time, if not collect my items and check in with Giles.

Blade rolled a '1+5=6' insight, and didn't notice any Vampire vibe on the waitress or bouncers.

Does everyone else outside want to move on to the car too? Initiative order matters if you're going back inside, but if you're going to the car, it doesn't (as that would be a new initiative roll if it matters). At TG dinner, I gather that Ember wants to go the car so Giles can help everyone clear their heads before going back it for Ashe.

Blade, Angel, what do you guys want to do?

By the way, what specifically does 'collect my items' mean? Blade, I assume you want to retrieve your hidden weapons now, let me know if that's different. Angel, having missed your next save also only matters is you want to go in the casino. If you go back to the car, and it matters, we'll re-roll all necessary saves too. Blade, Angel, go back in, go to car, something else?

Am I clear enough to determine if we could go back and get Ashe, without risking the domination effect?

Jeff,is your avenger LG?

Embers thinks going back in for Ashes will draw attention to us.
We should wait here and see if makes he comes out on his own.
If he doesn't, we go back in a few hours before The witching hour. we need to make a plan.
Giles aren't you suppose to prepare us?

I'm heading back to the car to rest.

I sugguest only someone not being affected goes in. Looks like blade is clean so he could get others stuck in there.

Might want to "aid another" to give them a bonus on their saves...

You know what's been posted so far...

Giles is back at the car, about a mile down the road and/or through the woods, but was supposed to start your training this morning. You are directly outside the casino and not with him again yet. He's definitely going to feel like he has his hands full trying to train you all once he sees everybody...

Looks like so far the majority vote is to go back to the car. Blade, head back with them, go back in after Ashe, or something else?

I'll go in after Ashe.

Telgarth is Good

Ross wrote:I'll go in after Ashe.

Cool. Do you tell everyone else to wait for you or go on ahead? Telgarth, Angel, Ember, where & how long do you wait for Blade?

I'm staying outside until whatever affect we're under goes away.

No use going in if we're going to be effectively stunned every other round.

Telgarth is going back to the car. After he sees Giles and collect his items, he will reevaluate the situation.

But your feeling great! :-)

Fyi, I couldn't tell if that meant wait outside the main doors or start heading for the car...

Either way it doesn't matter... Ashe made 4 consecutive saves (the caffine pills helped on 1), and when you get to the main entrance, the serving girls realizes where you are and stops just before she walks into the sunlight. She was about to say something to you, but then Blade walks up to you and the serving girl that helped him walks up to her.

All five of you are together walking to the car in the cool morning mountain air. You walk a few hundred feet, and a couple curves down the road away from the parking area, when...

Good; I was going to pipe in that I would not take the serving girl back to the car and/or tell her about Giles.
