Too slow. For all that they had seen her coming they were too slow.
First the one she could feel. Her Beast roiled inside with satisfaction at the caving to its demands.
Her second strike for the friend. Not as strong. She blamed the distraction of her Beast who howled for her to focus on the other Kindred.
8 successes
Twist's attacks ignore 2 points of enemy protection and her knives have Armor Piercing 1

The man with the Beast goes down before he can even move.
The second... bleeds! Twist can smell the it coming from his wound. She can see it flowing sweetly down from the cut!
They dive for the boat's steering wheel as the Kindred falls unconscious, spinning it violently. The boat takes a sudden turn in a desperate bid to make Twist fall into the water.
Dex+Athletics (3 succ needed) to keep your balance. Success: you can act as normal. Failure means being thrown overboard.

Twist could taste it on her tongue. She didn't need it. But that didn't mean she didn't want it. And in that moment of distraction the boat lurched under her. She shifted, trying to roll with it, but it wasn't enough. She felt the deck slip away from under her feet.
To try and regain access to the boat what is possible? Looking to either grab something to prevent hitting the water or punching into the hull to grab on once in the water.

Twist sees a couple options.
She can try swimming to the before it pulls away to grab onto the ladder at the rear (Stam+Ath-3 to swim (Celerity negates penalty) and either Str+Ath to hold on (take one bashing from being dragged behind the boat) or Str+Ath-3 to climb back on deck.)
To punch through the hole Str+Brawl-3 (must get 4 successes, 3 negated by durability and 1 to punch a hand hold, take one bashing if attacking unarmed) and Str+Ath to hold on (one bashing) or Str+Ath-5 to climb back on board.)

The water was cold. But such things don't matter to those who have skin scarce warmer than the grave. Or for those who don't spend much time in it.
Fingers curl around the ladder rungs, dark eyes looking up toward the deck as she climbed back. The job wasn't finished.

The bleeding man notices the undead creature climbing back on board, delicate and seductive features drenched in dark water. It could have been something out swimsuit issue.
"Oh my god," he whispers in fear at the sight.
Rather than swerve again, he reaches into the glove box and pulls a gun.
He spends his turn 'drawing' a weapon. Twist is up.

Thoughts flickered through her head as she made the final steps onto the boat's deck.
No. Not thoughts. Options.
"I could have been."
It had been an option after all.
Unfortunately for him, it was not the one she went with. She probably didn't need to let the second blade slide through her fingers but he was pulling a gun on her afterall.
Precision + Twin Blades

The man goes down clutching a hand to the tiny wounds. The tiny... well placed... organ piercing wounds. He doesn't even have time to look down before the light of consciousness leaves his eyes and he falls to the deck with the clatter of a gun and crumpling flesh.
The engine goes quite without a helmsman. Leaving the Daeva standing over to corpses with just enough time to set up delivery or disposal as she chooses. These raiders at least, will not be a threat to the domain any further.
Combat and scene ends.
