Past and Present

[Kelreth]

The outer wall of the club building had done a good job of insulating the outside world from the sound system. It's loud. Even back here, walls away from the dance floor, both of the Call can feel the bass and almost make out the words clearly. Moving up the stairs the wet cough gets louder and louder.

"We clear now?" A clear, hard, voice says loud enough to be heard over the music. Followed shortly by. "Don't forget we're the nice ones. All you had to do was talk to our people up front and listen to them. Was that so hard?"

The only response to their questions is another hacking cough as a third person tries desperately to regain their breath.

[Bleeds Well]

Alpha beckons so Bleeds Well acts.

The midnight wolf in man form, Bleeds Well is a shadow as he follows Hector up the stairs. The sound of voices causes him pause, he looks for a place to hide instinctively. Silly, they'll just sniff them out. And he can do the same.

The human nose crinkles, he draws in breath through it deep, olfactory senses tingle.

WTF p.180 Moderate scent range is 30 ft in open space, not sure the lay out and if doors are open or closed, but I'm guessing moderate scent range to be 10 or 15 feet in a building. Success gives information of Sex and Form if there's a wolf, E-Suxx tells exactly where the scent originates.

[Hector]

Hector is playing dangerously now.

Moving carefully, quietly, up the stairs - but only so far. Unlike Bleeds Well, he remains in insensate Hishu so he has to be in a position to see.

To see and and understand.

2020-05-01 20:08:50		Hector is being really perceptive rolls 4 to Wits + Investigation (10 Again)		2, 9, 10, 9, 2		3 successes

@Kelreth -
I went with Wits + Investigation as Hector is trying to squeeze out as much information as possible, which means he is being focussed and more attentive to detail. It is also a lower pool than straight perception.

I'm going to keep his previous stealth roll rather than pointlessly throw dice. He is still on the stairs and being careful.

[Kelreth]

Finding what looks to be a reasonable hiding place where the stairs and the wall meet Bleeds Well is able to get close enough to smell them. There are two, both men, both in human form. It also smells like blood, and the sweat and breath of a third human person.

Taking in the location, the behavior that's been seen, and the noises Hector hears. It sounds like someone showed up expecting to be taken seriously or expecting to be obeyed. That someone clearly didn't anticipate pissing off what likely is a pack of werewolves. In fact its fair to say that they likely deeply regret this choice. It's also a safe guess that in this lions.. wolf den, the pack feel right at home.

The Increased Difficulty modifer doesn't allow for a non-esuxx roll to turn into an esuxx. It's a bit more complex than that and explained here: http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php...ulty-Modifiers. As such we'll consider the two rolls as they are.

[Hector]

Two.

Just two.

Hector grinned wickedly.

He turned his gaze briefly to Bleeds Well wondering how far the Suthar Anzuth was willing to go. They had their confirmation now. Everything they needed.

But Hector so wanted to shake the Anshega in their fortress.

Would the Rahu agree or would Cunning and Wisdom win the day?

[Bleeds Well]

The scent of the two Uratha stir his blood. Bleeds Well wants to leap up the stairs and deal with this pack that would dare to encroach on the territory of Clarion's Call.

But this is not the time or place for such confrontation.

His eyes dart around the room, taking careful note of what is by the window as he carefully makes his way back to the door. One finger tapping on his head towards Hector. He has an idea it seems.

[Hector]

Hector notes what the Rahu does.

The Cahalith gives the Anshega a last, whistful, look.

Then he too, slips quietly down the stairs and follows Bleeds Well

[Hector]

le BUMP?

[Kelreth]

The hacking wet cough continues from the third person. "No no don't die on us now, that'll make us have to do even more work." A whine of pain sounds off. "Don't squirm, this was the risk you took. Like my friend said you should have listened."

"Lets try this again, you are going to go back and talk to your people. Tell them to stay off our turf and we in return won't find where you all live and burn it down. We're trying to improve this city, make it better for the right people." There's a heavy pause that isn't filled by any other sounds. "Good. See? We can work together just fine. In fact pretty sure our boss wouldn't mind adding your people onto our payroll if you play by our rules."

[Bleeds Well]

Bleeds Well pauses at the door, torn between the desire to fight and the desire to control the ground that he fights on, Sun Tzu or some shit.

He looks to Alpha for guidance, and what the fuck are they talking about upstairs?

He looks like a free safety, the last line of defense before the end zone as a running back comes trucking straight towards him. Which way do we go boss?
