PrP TRoS On Watch for the Sceadugenga

    Dirt Nap rises into the night air, up from the Society Church parking lot. Even if it had been bigger, it was too late in the night to get a good updraft from the heat that came off the concrete in the earlier hours of dusk. The sounds of traffic mingled as he rose this close to the Capital City Freeway, making tracking by late night sounds of traffic difficult. Still, there were only so many option for a vehicle not designed for off road driving. The rail road hit 28th street not for past the gate.

    Either Wits+Survival to track or Wits+Comp to try and spot the car.

    Dirt Nap flaps like mad to gain altitude, knowing he's given the Raiders a big head start, and that while he can fly in a straight line when the car has to maneuver around obstacles if not stick to the road, he doesn't actually fly all that fast compared to a car particularly if it makes it onto a freeway.

    He looks around, trying to spot it by direction coming from the parking lot, but isn't seeing a likely candidate.

    Without seeing the car he would need to use deduction and memory to try to figure out the most likely path. Did he recall seeing a car driving across the field after they sped off? What were the local streets like around here that could make a quick get away? Had there been any clues to who the raiders were and what their next move would be?

    The Beast of course cared nothing for such questions. It prowled close to the surface of his mind, like all Gangrel. What importance was memory when there was the now and the hunt?

    Int+Comp+2 (recent) to remember vital clues AND Int+Survival+1 (Direction Sense) to guess most logical escape path.

    Hmmm what kind of bonus for Trained Observer and Eidetic Memory? Seems like remembering would be pretty good odds and observing in the first place would be helped as well? Oh and the actual Direction Sense merit too?

    Forgot you had Eidetic Memory. The bonus for the direction Sense merit is already included.


    Dirt Nap remembers Heinrich mentioning that "If these adversaries choose to flee, they will as like as not go to a large boat. Whoever was assisting me in covering for the incident tonight was hiding on one."

    Dirt Nap recalls Edward saying they'd head for a boat, but his first thought had been to find the car rather than depend on this information to anticipate its destination.

    Failing that, Dirt Nap does try to fly over towards the river, figuring to find the vehicle coming from the place they were towards the water.

    Thank you! Hope this is helpful!

    The quickest way to the highway without back tracking past the church would require driving over a fence and hoping the undercarriage survived. From there they'd start probably heading south.

    If escaping by car was their plan.

    On the other hand, the river was only half a mile to the north and the Sutter's Landing Beach could offer a place to beach and load up a boat.

    Dirt Nap would have to make a choice in his pursuit.

    North and the river? Or south on the highway?

    Dirt Nap chooses to fly North, towards the river. If they're on the highway, he won't be able to catch them anyway, so best to try the path he can actually catch up to, if they're on it, he reasons.

    Dirt Nap flies north to the beach and lo and behold, there’s a boat pulled up on the beach. Two in fact. Both high quality, even in the dark they shine with lacquered wood.

    The car is actually parked on the beach along with five others, and he can see figures moving to and fro, in hurried activity unloading the escape car. Maybe ten in total. He can sense the taint on half of them. And from a single lone unmoving figure, he recognizes Geir from his blood potency alone. He's talking on a phone, occasionally gesturing and giving commands.

    From the helm of one of the boats, one of the Kindred looks up as Dirt Nap crosses the moon, head turning to follow the owl’s movements. But then he goes back to his task, putting items in containers under the boat's seat cushions.

    Dirt Nap looks for a place to land where he will be concealed and distant enough to be difficult if not impossible to shoot at or reach from the ground and yet watch the activity around the two boats on the river bank below.
