I leave the finer details up to the people actually doing those parts but in general the back team are either busting in quietly immediately or however they want after things go to poo poo, and outside team is keeping an eye on whether JP turns up or if suddenly an entire horde of vampires appears.

Positioning's really up to Xylo but presumably we parked in somewhere that the club can't see the car.

The SUV's in a parking lot down the street where other club-goers parked, presumably. If you guys want to park somewhere away from other club goers or somewhere away from everyone, you'll need to tell me so, and also find somewhere for the outside team to wait/observe.

Presumably he'd have a clear line of sight for upstairs. Anyway assuming everyone's ready for this plan to totally backfire...

Also, yes, Doug can see the upstairs area, but it's also a blur due to the people partying up on the balcony obscuring the view of the office.

Selene and Marvin are going in the front, Boon and Alf are going in the back, Swires is waiting outside as backup for whichever side needs it.

Raj, Doug, Jarrod, which team are you guys joining? You're all also in easy radio range, keep in mind. Also, there's still one healing apple, who's got that?

Marvin spends a gnosis to activate the mindlink power with Selene and heads toward the bouncer.

"Hey mate, got a meeting planned with your boss, one Mr Jet. He's expecting us. Got some great plans for this dancer and the rest of her troupe here. He's thinking of spicing the place up a little, give the people some more of what they really want." He winks.

Marvin apologises through the mindlink.

Selene accepts the mental apology, trying to ignore how weird it is to be engaging in telepathy. *"Just hope they don't ask me to actually dance, I've got two left feet unless I'm kicking someone with them."*

Raj wants to be on the lookout team, so he'll be with Swires. He last had the apple, but can pass it to someone else. Like Marvin!

When you first start talking he looks like he's about to shove you back and tell you to get lost, but when you get to "dancer" he tenses. He says through clenched teeth. "Mr. Jet wants to see you, in his office immediately." He lets you two pass.

Jarrod, Alf, and Boon go around the back. The tail end of the line to get in can be seen on the far end of the building. The back door is no longer propped open, and it's locked from the inside.

There's like a hundred goth kids dancing, several bartenders and several servers running around (I don't know what they're called in nightclubs). Loud industrial music is playing, flashing lights, fog, girls dancing in cages, you know the drill.

When Jarrod returns with Swires Alf waves the walkie at him. "Hope you enjoyed the exercise!"

XyloJW
Jul 23, 2007
Swires fiddles with the lock for a moment, and the door glides open.

Gnosis (4) difficulty 8. 1 success.

Boon, Alf, Jarrod, you hear the busy sounds of washing dishes, and the thumping bass of the dance club. Every minute or so the music gets drastically louder, as the door to the dance floor is opened by an employee passing back and forth.

Selene, Marvin, the bouncer is gesturing for you to go upstairs.

Doug starts moving into position to get a view of the upstairs.

Coincidentally, Doug moves into position. He now has a clear view of just the office area. He sees 3 figures up there who aren't moving back and forth between the balcony and the stairway.

Almost immediately, the door opens. A steely-eyed tall bald man in a suit with sunglasses beckons you and Selene in.

Doug radios this information to anyone who's listening on the radios, and briefly raises his blindfold to see if anyone is sneaking up on him from behind.

Doug then moves so that he can see the staff-only rooms without the fuzzy mess of the dancefloor obscuring everything

Alf has his on because he sarcastically waved it in front of Jarrod.

Can we see the whole kitchen area (except the washroom) from the doorway? If so how many people are there?

Raj has a radio, and tells Doug he can keep an eye out for him while he's got the blindfold on.

If Doug needs to move away from the car to get a good view, Raj will stick with Doug rather than Swires.

XyloJW
Jul 23, 2007
I ask is it on, because either it's on and people around may hear it, or it's off and you don't hear it. It's a hand-held radio, though, so it's not like it's a comm-bead.

Alf hears Doug's report about the people moving up stairs correct timeframe so far? and then thinking it's too loud, turns it off. Alf gestures to Boon and Jarrod that there are 5 people inside using crazy combat hand language he learnt back in Vietnam.

I assume we have them off so that there's no inadvertent "hey so we murdered all the bar staff, did you figure out what the vampire wanted and tear his heart out yet" in the middle of the conversation. :v:

Marvin steps into the room, I presume the big guy is just another bouncer / thrall, and wait for Jet to start conversation.

Alf also tries to detect if the 5 staff in the kitchen really are ghouls.

Selene has her radio, tucked under her top and clipped to her belt. Turned off for the moment.

Taking a look around the room in an appreciative fashion, Selene tries to figure out the best escape route. Is there a window?

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
Boon nods, understanding Alf's hand gestures thanks to a Cricket Australia team building event once held at a paintballing range run by a crazy veteran.

"What's the signal to take them out?" he hisses into Alf's ear.

Okay. The tall Hitman-esque guy steps aside, and you both enter the small office. He shuts the door behind you. Though neither of you saw how Alf tore it up, it doesn't appear ransacked. The only way in or out of the room is through the bouncer and door behind you, and ahead of you through the window onto the dance floor--through Jet.

Behind the desk sits Jet.











Yes, he's dressed exactly like that.


He looks up at you. "We got us a lot to talk about. First things first: Where's Rob?"
