It has links to other plots as well, showing only how widespread the story is. 'The Prequel' on this page thus only shows us the last scenes of the [[Robbing a Bank]] plot. Because, as turns out later, it may have links to Skeleton Keys! <br /> <br /> === 2011 === <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?11460-The-Low-Places The Low Places]====<br /> {{quote|God does not play dice.}} <br /> <br /> [[Anasztaz|Anastaz Veres]] stands at a silent, lonely corner of Freeport Boulevard. A scant few decades before, a plane crashed on the spot, killing entire families enjoying an ice-cream under the summer sun. Realizing what he is looking for is there, he calls [[Amelita Cardoso]] a [[Mekhet|Shadow]] Slave of the [[Ordo Dracul]]. <br /> <br /> When she arrives, [[Anasztaz|Veres]] stresses that assertive direction is paramount before explaining the significance of the place they stand on. The land remembers. Strong emotions leave psychic marks in the land that while they have many names, the [[Ordo Dracul|Order of Dragons]] call them '''Wyrm's Nests'''. <br /> <br /> As part of the lesson, [[Anasztaz|Veres]] asks [[Amelita Cardoso|Cardoso]] to focus and expand her senses. Touching a piece of earth, [[Amelita Cardoso|Cardoso]] is treated to images of the fiery crash, which alarms her beast but she remains in control. Just after, out of the corner of his eye, [[Anasztaz|Veres]] notices an engraving '''Cyphers. Suttle, &amp; Sterling.'''<br /> <br /> Not believing in chance [[Anasztaz|Veres]] thinks the words hold significance and mistakes them for names of the monument's makers. [[Amelita Cardoso|Cardoso]] uses [[Auspex|The Spirit's Touch]] upon the names directly, and sees an [[Muir|old man]] with the tip of his finger in an unfinished name. Intent on investigating further, the pair leave, missing the true meaning of a ''warning'' left many years ago.<br /> <br /> === 2012 === <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?17831-Meeting-at-Uni Meeting at University]====<br /> This is a short scene where [[Regent]] [[Erika Brady]] meets with [[Max Heinz]]. She has an ancient text with her, written on human skin. It is what she retrieved from the Kindred that robbed a bank for her. She asks Max Heinz to study it. He is able to discern that the text is in fact written in an ancient Hungarian dialect. Then, to his surprise, she translates it before him. <br /> <br /> {{quote|&quot;...Through the souls of my enemies, I will be free.&quot;|[[Erika Brady]]|[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?17831-Meeting-at-Uni&amp;p=218674&amp;viewfull=1#post218674 Ancient Hungarian Translated]}} <br /> <br /> Curiously enough, she gives him the text and a suitcase with a box in it. The box contains the old helmet. She trusts he'll take care of it. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?18438-Up-in-Flames Up In Flames]==== <br /> The same night that Max Heinz got the skin and the helmet from Erika Brady, he decides to destroy the text, and let the helmet sink to the bottom of a lake. The one who wrote the text was probably a Diablerist, and Max doesn't want anyone to become inspired by it. Or worse, he suspects that Erika Brady wants to say more by giving this to him. In any way, he prefers to hide the helmet and keep the text only safely in hidden in his memory. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?18824-Reeve-Office-Hours-12 Reeve Office Hours 12]====<br /> [[Callum McCann]] stops by the Office of the [[Reeve]] hoping to make a good impression and to offer his services. After questioning the new, potential recruit, [[Reeve]] [[Conner Greyson]] shows [[Callum McCann|McCann]] a picture of an ancient skeleton while inquiring if the [[Daeva]] knows anything about the “Vampire” skeletons of Bulgaria. <br /> <br /> Normally, this would be of no consequence half a world away, but [[Conner Greyson|Greyson]] reveals that one of these Skeletons escaped examinations by kine and Kindred in Europe and has landed in Sacramento. The [[Reeve]] admits that this is curious and worth investigating and with this in mind, offers [[Callum McCann|McCann]] two tickets to a social event at the museum currently housing the Skeleton. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?19409-Reeve-Office-Hours-13 Reeve Office Hours 13]====<br /> Hoping that the [[Priscus]] of her clan would shed some light on her situation with her [[Dream Visions]], [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen McFarlane]] visits [[Conner Greyson]]. He advises her to study her clan's faculty with [[Auspex]] and though she is inwardly frightful of the [[Auspex|Sight]] she thanks him for his thoughts. <br /> <br /> [[Aileen McFarlane|McFarlane]] then asks if there is something she might be able to do for the [[Reeve]] in return, which inspires [[Conner Greyson|Greyson]] to ask if the [[Mekhet]] knows anything about the “Vampire” skeletons of Bulgaria. She does, and [[Conner Greyson|Greyson]] asks her to assist [[Callum McCann]] with his assigned task in investigating the one “Vampire” skeleton that has made it to Sacramento. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?19534-Aileen-McFarlane-calls-Callum-McCann Aileen McFarlane calls Callum McCann]====<br /> Right after her discussion with [[Conner Greyson]], [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen McFarlane]] calls [[Callum McCann]]. Though tentative and unsure of herself, [[Aileen McFarlane|McFarlane]] requests they meet up and compare notes. Suggesting they meet up at Temple Coffee, they agree to meet within the hour. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?19545-Putting-the-team-together Putting the Team Together]====<br /> At Temple Coffee and armed with a Sacramento Bee and a Travel Mug full of coffee, [[Callum McCann]] makes it first. Eventually, [[Aileen McFarlane|McFarlane]] arrives, unsure of herself but prepared to meet an unfamiliar beast. <br /> <br /> Once settled, [[Callum McCann|McCann]] explains that since the [[Reeve]] has given him tickets to a black-tie event at the museum currently housing the skeleton, they should become comfortable with one another. [[Callum McCann|McCann]] then describes that the pair of Kindred will arrive together and that he will deal with the people, if she can investigate the area; impressing on her that this could be a Masquerade breach in progress. <br /> <br /> A quick look on the internet reveals to [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen]] that the event is a supposedly mundane charity fundraiser for the arts. What ''is'' interesting is that there is nothing stated anywhere about the Skeleton the museum may have in its possession. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?19356-SK-Tracking-the-Package Tracking the Package]====<br /> Quiet, anxious, and far from excited, [[Anthony Marroletti]] drives a group towards Rio Linda Airport. '''Catherine Keys''' is irritated but would rather not be at fault for a Masquerade breach. [[Daniella Sage]] attempts to bring the conversation towards overcoming Airport's security, while [[Zachary Griffiths]] wonders about kine security guards in particular. Finally, ''Deputy Reyes'' attempts to get a handle on the situation. <br /> <br /> The group is on a mission to retrieve a briefcase, with suspicious contents. <br /> <br /> Arriving at the airport, [[Daniella Sage|Sage]] takes the device that tracks [[Anthony Marroletti|Moroletti]]'s package and the group heads in: two in the front door and two to the back door. With [[Zachary Griffiths]], [[Daniella Sage]] is able to easily pick the lock to her door. Meanwhile at the other door, ''Catherine Keys'''s then as they move away, [[Daniella Sage]]'s heightened senses catches a deal in progress. <br /> <br /> As they enter the large room, [[Zachary Griffiths]] and [[Daniella Sage]] find the men behind the voices: '''Gabriel D'Angelo''' and the [[Wilhelm Von Schusten|other]], a coiled spring of lethality. <br /> <br /> Stuck at another door, '''Deputy Reyes''' attempts to break down his door with one swift kick. He's successful but the door is booby-trapped, a fact both Kindred find out too late taking the full iron wrath of a shotgun to their bodies. <br /> <br /> [[Wilhelm Von Schusten|Angry Man]] warns [[Zachary Griffiths]] and, to some extent, [[Daniella Sage]] off one last time while drawing two short-swords. Under cloak, [[Daniella Sage]] frantically searches for the box and once '''Deputy Reyes''' appears issues three short words: 'Take him down.' However, [[Wilhelm Von Schusten|Angry Man]] is far more attuned to the battlefield and far quicker, slashing [[Zachary Griffiths]] from shoulder to hip. <br /> <br /> Finally, in the office, [[Daniella Sage]] finds her target. <br /> <br /> At the same time, the [[Wilhelm Von Schusten|Angry Man]] rips the light panel from the wall, killing the lights immediately and draws the [[Obfuscate|Cloak of Night]] around himself. A ploy that both '''Catherine Keys''' and [[Daniella Sage]] see through. Annoyed his ambush on [[Zachary Griffiths]] has been foiled, the [[Wilhelm Von Schusten|swordsman]] delivers viscous blows to both [[Daniella Sage]] and '''Catherine Keys.''' <br /> <br /> Though, '''Deputy Reyes''' grapples at the [[Wilhelm Von Schusten|swordsman]] electricity runs through the Mexican Lord's body, destroying his cellular phone. Sensing the strength of the Mexican Lord, [[Wilhelm Von Schusten|the swordsman]] bites into ''Deputy Reyes'' attempting to remove the man's vitae. <br /> <br /> Backtracking, [[Daniella Sage]] takes the package and uses her faculty with [[Obfuscate]] to hide it. <br /> <br /> With the situation spiraling out of control, the [[Wilhelm Von Schusten|Angry Man]] breaks his grapple, and blurs away into the darkness of the hangar. <br /> <br /> But, the danger has not subsided. A droning sound gets louder and louder, until it resolves to be part of an airplane, driving down the tarmac, straight for the hangar and the group of Kindred. Only ''Ricardo'' manages to see who is at the plane's controls – '''Gabriel D'Angelo''' – while the group flees from the hangar, package in hand.<br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?19764-Skeleton-in-the-Closet Skeleton in the Closet?]====<br /> The upper-crust of Sacramento have gathered, hoping to outdo one another in their 'appreciation' of the arts. Among them is [[Callum McCann]] and [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen McFarlane]] who have a whole other motive in mind. Unfortunately, their target is not on open display. <br /> <br /> Splitting up, [[Callum McCann|Callum]] puts out his feelers and hobnobs easily through the small knots of conversations, eventually arriving at knot holding Mrs. Lewis, the museum's curator. Meanwhile, [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen]] searches for a place to simply disappear and eventually falls from sight. <br /> <br /> Hoping to impress the Daeva with Movie Star good looks, Mrs. Lewis lets slip to [[Callum McCann|Callum]] that they just got in a pristine – lovely if you are morbid – piece. <br /> <br /> Beneath her cloak, [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen]] overhears staffers talking about the 'vampire skeleton' as well as a large sarcophagus that none dared to open. Curiosity piqued, the Mekhet moved with the staffers but stops as she hears Mrs. Lewis offer to show the rock-star the “Vampire Skeleton” – in private. Unknowingly, all three enter the large room, while Mrs. Lewis propositions the potential Deputy. <br /> <br /> That, however, is about when things take a turn for the strange. [[Callum McCann]], Mrs. Lewis, and the cloaked [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen McFarlane]] come upon an open sarcophagus being carried by a woman much too small to do so. The mysterious [[Rahyna|woman]] immediately puts Mrs. Lewis to sleep. In the tension that follows, [[Callum McCann|Callum]] informs the [[Rahyna|woman]] that she is trespassing, to which the [[Rahyna|woman]] responds by attempting to dominate the hopeful deputy to sit down and be quiet. <br /> <br /> This fails and the world explodes into furious strikes and hits. <br /> <br /> In the stalemate that follows, the [[Rahyna|woman]] escapes in a bout of blinding speed and only after she leaves, does [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen]] drops her cloak. Knowing that they cannot leave the sarcophagus in the museum with a Kindred bent on taking it, [[Callum McCann]] calls [[Martha Villiers]] who sends '''Deputy Reyes''' with a hearse to pick them all up. <br /> <br /> As Mrs. Lewis begins to stir, [[Callum McCann]] works quickly to staunch any potential breaches with the cougar and the group hits the road; sarcophagus in tow. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?20824-A-Skeleton-and-a-Ford-in-the-Key-of-E A Skeleton and a Ford in the Key of E]====<br /> In the Ford E-350, [[Callum McCann]] and [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen McFarlane]] look into the plain sarcophagus finding a desiccated corpse within. To [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen]] it is a well preserved male skeleton or rather, a torpid elder dressed in Spanish armor from the 17th Century. What's more, is that it bears a particular heraldic symbol with the Latin phrase 'plus ultra.' <br /> <br /> The pair's initial examination is cut short by ''Deputy Reyes'' alerting them to a follower on a motorcycle. <br /> <br /> The [[Rahyna|woman]] is persistent and intent on getting her prize. <br /> <br /> With ''Deputy Reyes'' pulling into an unattended parking lot, the [[Rahyna|woman]] seems to reconsiders her options and after pulling along side the van and getting a good look, speeds away. <br /> <br /> It gives the group some time to escape with the sarcophagus, pulling into [[Cedar Fields Funeral Home]] where [[Martha Villiers]] awaits.<br /> <br /> === 2013 ===<br /> {{quote|This to bears pain.}} <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?22029-Skeleton-Keys-A-gathering-at-the-Reverence A gathering at Reverence]====<br /> Nervous over who might be listening and having lost trust in [[Erika Brady]], [[Martha Villiers]] sends a text message summoning a few trusted members of the Domain to her air. Under the guise of a research seminar, the group of Kindred investigate a mysterious torpid elder, dressed as a warlord, as well as an enigmatic metal puzzle box. <br /> <br /> The group discover that both torpid elder and metal puzzle box carry with them the markings of an 11th century Spanish Kingdom of Castille. Further investigation of the coffin itself, proves potentially deadly. After [[Teodor Raluca]] notices that one side of the coffin is thicker than the others, [[Chris Wooding]] slides a knife into a thin opening... triggering a trap of razor sharp blades to remove the Hierophant's fingers. <br /> <br /> Cowed by the apparent danger, the group turns to the metal [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_puzzle lock puzzle]. As this commences, [[Martha Villiers]] attempts to draw parallels to other happenings within the domain; bringing up [[Heathcliff Staley]], and the slayings of [[Sarah LaFleur]] and [[Thomas O'Connor]]; and summarizing the events of [[Hotel Homicide]]. As she speaks, [[Martha Villiers | Martha]], brings up former Princes [[Tobias Straiphen]] and [[Freddrick]] in tones of fear and awe and trying to wrest some common thread with all of these possibilities. <br /> <br /> With this in mind, the Kindred agree to meet in two nights time, this time at Avalon. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?23045-SK-A-Plan-of-Action A Plan of [[Action]]]====<br /> Just [http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?22029-Skeleton-Keys-A-gathering-at-the-Reverence after some of the Kindred] depart Reverance leaving [[Chris Wooding]], [[Callum McCann]], and [[Daniella Sage]] remain to further mull over the mysteries in front of them. [[Callum McCann| Callum]] and [[Chris Wooding| Chris]] agree that the best place to start, would be to track down the [[Rahyna|woman]] who attempted to steal the Torpid Elder from them. However, with most businesses close ideas to track her through her motorcycle fall apart. <br /> <br /> Their second idea is to see the curator of the museum again. Using pull within the Academic community, the trio are able to secure a late-night meeting under the guise of philanthropy. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?23018-SK-Grimm-Tale Grimm Tale]====<br /> As [http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?22029-Skeleton-Keys-A-gathering-at-the-Reverence agreed], two nights later at the [[Avalon Underground|Avalon]] [[Elysium]], the investigative group comes back together. '''Dr.Swift''' came prepared with the book of Grimm Fairytales, found at the conclusion of [[Hotel Homicide]]. The good doctor explains that while the book is an English Translation, the message 'This to bares pain' was hidden in the text. While the book does not give up its secrets easily, '''Dr. Swift''' does notice that the book is bespoke and the suspicion that there is something ''else'' other than pages sneaks in. With this in mind, '''Dr. Swift''' convinces staff at a nearby University to allow him to use a laboratory.<br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?22941-SK-Anthony-s-Package Anthony's Package]====<br /> Battered but alive, a group of kindred including [[Daniella Sage]], '''Catherine Keys''', [[Zachary Griffiths]], and '''Ricardo Rodriguez Reyes''', recover a briefcase before '''Gabriel D'Angelo''' rams a plane into a building.<br /> <br /> Once in [[Anthony Marroletti]]'s car however, the Daeva makes his own play for the briefcase. Turning the car towards the inferno of the building, he threatens [[Daniella Sage]] and '''Catherine Keys''' with fire. Both women decide to jump from the car with wildly different results: '''Keys''' is rendered torpid by the fall, while [[Daniella Sage|Sage]] lands without a scratch while still holding onto the briefcase. <br /> <br /> It's all for nothing though, as [[Anthony Marroletti]]'s force of personality causes love to blossom in Daniella's mind resulting in her willfully offering up the briefcase to the [[Daeva]]. With '''Catherine Keys''' torpid on the ground and sirens rapidly approaching, the Kindred allow their hard-won prize to slip off into the night. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?23212-SK-Returning-and-Reporting Returning ] and [http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?23076-Escaping-into-Elysia/ Reporting] ====<br /> Driving [[Anthony Marroletti]]'s car, [[Zachary Griffiths]] attempts some levity with [[Daniella Sage]] wondering what the punishment for failing the Domain is. They consider getting the torpid '''Catherine Keys''' a drink, but talk is interrupted by a text from '''Erich Passions''' as they reach [http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?23076-Escaping-into-Elysia/ Elysia]. Eventually, after being intercepted by [[Erika Brady]] and '''Erich Passions''' on other matters, [[Zachary Griffiths|Griffiths]] and [[Daniella Sage|Sage]] are able to report to [[Martha Villiers]]. <br /> <br /> [[Ciara Maskelyne]] covers the Masquerade by seeding the Media with the tragic story of Equipment failure and arson. <br /> <br /> The torpid '''Catherine Keys''' is delivered, finally, to Cedar Fields. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?23410-SK-A-Night-at-the-Museum A Night at the Museum]====<br /> Successful in setting up an appointment at the museum, [[Chris Wooding]], [[Callum McCann]], and [[Daniella Sage]] arrive hoping to uncover a clue or two at ground-zero. However, oddities happen immediately. Mrs. Lewis, who [[Callum McCann]] had bent to his whim, does not recognize him. <br /> <br /> For the museum matron, Mrs. Lewis sees an opportunity to 'cultivate new donors,' especially with their request to see a private exhibition. After a bit of tit for tat, the group comes to an uneasy agreement and easily gives the group a tour of the museum including a collection of positively ''fascinating'' landscapes. <br /> <br /> But, not the exhibition the group wanted to see. <br /> <br /> After [[Daniella Sage]] excuses herself to the bathroom, [[Chris Wooding|Chris]] and [[Callum McCann|Callum]] attempt once more to gain entry. Though Mrs. Lewis is able to get her pound of flesh from [[Callum McCann|Callum]], neither man is able to see the exhibit they come to see and all three leave the museum as uninformed as they came.<br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?23620-Skeleton-Keys-Academic-Digging Academic Digging]====<br /> With '''Dr. Swift''' having used his influence in the Academic Community to secure some laboratory time, the other half of the investigative team including [[Aileen McFarlane|Aïleen McFarlane]], [[Teodor Raluca]], and [[Martha Villiers]] congregate. Their mission is much the same as the group at the Museum, though they are unaware of the Museum Group's failure. <br /> <br /> '''Dr. Swift''' is prepared with a battery of tests to perform on the Brother's Grimm manuscript, and the first tests conclude that the manuscript is a skilled forgery. It is then that '''Dr. Swift''' realize that the covers, themselves, may hold a clue. After painstakingly prying the covers apart the group find two things. The first, is a sheaf of papers – sealed with a wax seal of a stylized S. The second, is a desiccated hand – crushed as flat as it could be. <br /> <br /> Using her gifts to see past the mundane [[Martha Villiers]] sees a jumble of strong emotions. From the supreme focus of '''Dr. Swift''' to the hatred of the woman who assembled it. As talk once again moves back to [[Tobias Straiphen]], [[Martha Villiers|Martha]] fears inwardly that he is aiming to seize back his throne. <br /> <br /> Turning her attentions to the desiccated hand, [[Martha Villiers|Martha]] bears witness. She is witness to it helping remove the Torpid Elder; witness to it supping from another; witness to the hand holding a sword against another; witness to the hand's severing and a woman watching coldly with out of sync reflections. The woman is [[Erika Brady]] while [[Wilhelm Von Schusten]] slides the hand into the cover. <br /> <br /> Immediately distrustful of the group around her, or who could be listening, [[Martha Villiers|Martha]] only mentioned [[Wilhelm Von Schusten]] and resolved to speak with the Prince immediately. To the group, the [[Martha Villiers|Herald]] notes that they locate [[Wilhelm Von Schusten|von Schusten]] and takes care to mention his combat prowess and stands to the side to draft a letter to [[Asa Clarke]]. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, as '''Dr. Swift''' attempts to pry secrets from the sheaf of letters he finds the wax trapped. It bursts into flames which cause the [[Mekhet]] in the room to stay away. Due to quick thinking, the sheaf is saved and what's left, is that the nine pages form a diagram – or map though without any appreciable markings, is hard to tell what it is a map ''to'' and only [[Martha Villiers|Martha]] feels the spark of recognition while studying the map. <br /> <br /> Deciding to break to run computer searches with the intention of reconvening, the group disperse. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?24450-A-sealed-letter-handed-to-Asa...

[[Martha Villiers]] admits that they are uncertain as to who to trust and that the scale and depth of the treason is potentially unknowable. <br /> <br /> She goes on to overview the last few years of investigation, name checking who she believes are part of the cabal – [[Erika Brady]], [[Wilhelm Von Schusten]] – while also suggesting it is on the behest of [[Tobias Straiphen]]. Finally, the [[Martha Villiers|Herald]] theorizes as to the capabilities of the 'enemy.' <br /> <br /> [[Martha Villiers]] closes the letter with a list of people she believes are still friendly to the domain. <br /> <br /> ====[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?25761-Skeleton-Keys-More-Pieces-More-Puzzles More Pieces More Puzzles]====<br /> The scene opens with a realization that the map rescued from both book and fire, are ley-lines and potentially from a memory that is much older than the tangible map in their possession.

<p>July: </p> <hr /> <div>Characters who face danger and who live to tell the tale still need time to recover physically. They need to heal their injuries. Short of being fatally injured or falling unconscious (see [[Incapacitation]]), your character can continue to act while any of his Health boxes remain empty. If any of his last three Health boxes show injuries, he is debilitated with penalties to his dice pools, but he can still be up and around. Wounds recover at the following rates.<br /> <br /> [[Bashing]]: One point is regained in 15 minutes.&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Lethal]]: One point is regained in two days.&lt;br&gt;<br /> [[Aggravated]]: One point is regained in a week.&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> *Note that some supernatural beings can recover from injuries at abnormally fast rates, even regenerating them automatically or healing them at will. Humans (including Mages and Changlings), of course, do not have that luxury.<br /> *The rates are in relation to when the scene enters continuity. (ex. 2 actual days after the scene closes)<br /> *This is, as always, subject to the ST<br /> <br /> Your character doesn’t have to rest or receive special attention to clear Health squares. They are cleared automatically as the prescribed amount of time passes. The exception is if he is ever reduced in Health such that he is dying (see above); this requires intensive medical care. <br /> <br /> Lost Health is recovered on your character sheet from right to left — in the reverse direction in which wounds are recorded on your sheet. Your character’s least severe injury (that in the rightmost box) is recovered first. The damage marked in each box is erased as your character becomes progressively healthier, until his last (leftmost) box is empty and he is fully healthy again.<br /> &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> {{header|vtr}}<br /> ==Vampire Healing Wounds==<br /> <br /> A vampire can use Vitae to heal wounds.<br /> * Spending Vitae to heal wounds is a [[reflexive]] [[action]].<br /> * In one '''[[Turns|turn]]''', a Kindred character can expend '''one Vitae''' to heal '''two Health''' points lost to [[Bashing]] damage.<br /> * In one '''[[Turns|turn]]''', a Kindred character can expend '''one Vitae''' to heal '''one Health''' points lost to [[Lethal]] damage.<br /> * In '''two nights''', a Kindred character can expend '''five Vitae''' to heal '''one Health''' points lost to [[Aggravated]] damage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> {{header|wtf}}<br /> == Werewolf Regeneration ==<br /> <br /> * Regenerate 1 bashing at the beginning of action for the turn (reflexive).<br /> * May spend 1 essence to regenerate 1 lethal INSTEAD of 1 bashing (reflexive).
