At the Fish Tank

Buffybot picked up immediately on the lone vamp. She shook her head. "Oooh big teeth I'm scared.....NOT!" She says mockingly. "No booze I checked on that. The cheap skate of an owner saw to that. But I can use some practice. I gotta fix that door."She engages the punk vamp succeeds in punching him twice.  WHAM!  WHAM!  And then she evades his attempt to punch her.  Buffy is flawless at the moment.




Between The Fish Tank and the blood bank.

"Master Norris taught me many things. First, when doing a pushup, do not push yourself up, push the earth down. Second, run so fast you can run around the entire planet and punch yourself in the back of the head. Third...if you aren't seen, then others are seconds away from death. If you are seen, it is already too late."

And then he pulled out a stake and drove it through the poor vamp's heart.

"Wait!  You really know Chuck Norris?!  Can you get me his auto...........aaarrggghhh!!!"

The vamp never finishes his sentence as he explodes into dust leaving Mike alone and still in possession of his blood supply.

OCC: Back to the combat thread for Buffybot.  Back to the main thread for Annabelle and Mike as their fights are now finished.

"Thank you for the power test."

Annabelle said down to the pile of dust, before grabbing her shopping cart and heading back to The Fish Tank, careful to keep an eye out for any police vehicles.  Most of them should still be at the Initiative headquarters, but all it would take is one to ruin her expedition.

At the Fish Tank


"What you're speechless? Didn't expect that huh?"Buffybot decides to really teach this punk a lesson. "You're going to pay for the door by the way."

But the vampire has other ideas as he ducks out of the way of her blow, but fails to land one on her. Stalemate this time.

"A lucky punch or two.  Don't get cocky you dumb broad.  You'll be begging for mercy soon." said the undead.

OCC: Back to the combat thread for Buffy, no damage to either side this round.

Mike gathered up his blood packets, and headed back to the fish tank. He didn't want to run into any further uninvited guests wanting to 'share' his winnings.

Inside The Fish Tank

"Yadda, yadda, yadda....First you trash the door and you pretend to talk tough. Oh pleeeease. You're the one that's gonna get it."Buffybot continues the slugfest but fails to land a blow, this vamp's more skilled than the "average" bloodsucker.

"No!  You're gonna get it!" The vampire rushes forward, grappling Buffy by the neck and then sinks his teeth into her."  But the fangs don't go very deep.

"Arrrgggghhhhh!!!!! My teeth!!!" the vampire shouts in pain as he quickly releases the hold and watches as a couple of sparks fly from Buffy's neck.

"What are you?!" screams the bloodsucker.


Back entrance to The Fish Tank

Mike approaches the back entrance to The Fish Tank carrying his blood packs as he sees Annabelle just a few yards behind him pushing her shopping cart. Both are just about to reach the back entrance when something springs out, blocking the door.

A Turok-Han.  Just one this time, but boy does he look ferocious.



OCC:  Back to the combat thread for everybody.  Annabelle and Mike have one Turok-Han to deal with out back, Buffybot still has a vampire to deal with inside.  Buffybot takes 4 points of damage from the bite attack.  Bite damage against robots isn't covered in the rule book, so I'm doing it as "bite damage divided by 5".  She has no blood to suck, but still takes some damage from the teeth puncture wound.

Inside The Fish Tank

"Does it even matter...You trashed the door. Ok Fang face take your punishment!" Buffybot continues to swing that this inconvenient runt and misses as the vampire lands a punch in her mid-section.

"No, you take your punishment!  Ha!  I've got plenty more with your name on it!"

Out back at The Fish Tank


"Get away from here you mindless beast!  You're not coming in!  The stench inside is dreadful enough already without you exacerbating it!" she shouted at the ubervamp while launching a punch followed by a kick at him that missed by a mile.


Mike was thrown off a little by presence of a Turok Han, and while he lept to Annabelle's aid, he did not do so gracefully. He tried a sweep, followed by an axe kick, but it was pretty sloppy.

The Turok-Han was unscathed as he launched a high kick at Mike's jaw with his right leg, and then
nailed Annabelle in the stomach with his left leg.

The Turok-Han smiled in satisfaction through his fangs.  If Turok-Hans could talk, this one would be saying "Now that's how you do a kick losers!" just about right now.

OCC: Back to the combat thread.  An excellent round.  For the bad guys! Mike takes 19 points of damage, Annabelle takes 23 points, and Buffybot takes 18 points.

Out back:


...If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Mike grabbed this Turok Han, and threw him high in the sky. His guard was much better now.

"Back to basics. Annabelle, finish him!"

The primitive vampire went straight up and  then crashed back down to the ground on his back.

"Consider him finished Michael!" Annabelle shouted, drawing her stake and aiming for the heart of the now downed vampire.  But this Turok-Han was fast, even while on the ground.

He rolled out of the way of Annabelle's stake attempt and then with a flip-snap was back on his feet, ready for action again.

Inside The Fish Tank

Buffybot had nothing else to say. The damage this clown of a punk vamp meant nothing....yet. It was a stalemate in the last exchange she is determined to change that. Her fists connected with the vampire, but he can give as good as he gets. He then reached forward, grabbing her around the neck once more, but this time he didn't bite.

He twisted her neck with all his might then let go, expecting to hear a snapping sound then watch his foe fall to the ground.  Buffybot remained standing, but that hurt!

OCC: Back to the combat thread.  27 points of damage to Buffybot.  The Turok-Han Mike and Annabelle are fighting is not dusted and back on his feet.

Inside The Fish Tank

Buffybot snarls and it make her even angrier. "You're expecting a snap and a deep sigh and collapse in a heap? Wrong answer. She continues her efforts for a quick end but fails to connect, but then manages to successfully dodge the vampire's attack.


Out behind The Fish Tank

Mike wasn't quite as perfect this time, but even in his lesser showings, he was still quite competent with his favorite trick.

"Annabelle? The stake goes in the vampire, not in the ground. Have to send you to remedial Slayer school."

But this Turok-Han was no slouch as he evaded Mike's grasp, but failed to land a punch to Mike's mid-section.


"Well that went swimmingly." Annabelle said dryly as she missed a punch at primitive vampire followed by a spin kick so pathetic, the Turok didn't even need to try to dodge.


OCC: Back to the combat thread.  No damage on either side this round.

Out behind The Fish Tank:


Mike apparently needed to go to remedial grab and toss school, because this grab wasn't any better then the last as the Turok dodged his grasp again.

His defense is still pretty airtight as the Turok failed to land a kick on him. Mike wasn't risking himself.

Annabelle was less than pleased at Michael's critique of her staking form.

"Thank you for the advice Michael.  Now then, may I suggest you attend remedial grappling school because your current form is absolutely dreadful.  A geriatric octopus could do better." she said as she attempted and missed a judo throw to take the Turok-Han to the pavement.

But the Turok's failed attempt on Mike killed his momentum to attack her, ubervamp was unscathed this time, but so were they.



In the Fish Tank:

Had this guy had training it would've been a much closer fight. At least this guy can do some damage just the same.....Buffybot smiles in hope that she still end the fight soon as both of her punches nail the vampire in the face.

But he's still got some fight left in him as he launches an impressive spin kick that crashes into Buffy's mid-section.

OCC:Back to the combat thread.  Buffybot takes 21 points of damage. These two villains are acquitting themselves well. Or rather the dice isn't loving the good guys.

Out behind The Fish Tank:


"Maybe I'll look into it."

He isn't even pleased with his own performance, only marginally better now. The Turok once again manages to evade his attack.

Annabelle was now frustrated beyond belief.  This prehistoric monstrosity just wouldn't dust and Michael's usually effective grappling and tossing skills apparently decided to break for tea.

Taking aim with her stake, she summoned all her newly anointed Slayer power and drove it towards the Turok's heart.

"Die you monster!! DIE!!!!"

Thok!  Annabelle's stake nailed him right in the heart as the prehistoric vampire burst in to dust leaving Annabelle and Mike alone behind The Fish Tank. No other Turoks appeared, this one was apparently traveling alone.

Inside The Fish Tank:



Buffybot shook her head in an attempt to make what others would say a low percentage move. That or her luck hasn't turned yet.  The vampire ducked out of the way, but failed to score a hit on her.  Another stalemate.

OCC: Back to the combat thread for Buffybot. Annabelle and Mike can now enter through the back of The Fish Tank, but can't join into this fight just yet since they don't know there's a fight going on until they get inside.

Mike chuckled.

"The power of a Slayer. Well, you're supposed to be better then me, anyway. That's why there was one of you and lots of us back in the day."

He headed for the fish tank....

Annabelle put her stake in her back pocket and wiped off her hands.

"Well now there's one less Turok-Han roaming about." Annabelle said grabbing her shopping cart full of food supplies.

"Hold the door for me please Michael so I can get all this in and put away. Maybe now we can stop and breath for a moment.  Figuratively speaking in your case.

"Works...sort of...for me."

Mike ever so gentlemanly opened the door for the lady. And picked up the blood he'd had to defend, again.

Another stalemate but somehow she is playing not to lose to this stupid vamp. Buffybot continues to slug it out.....and misses again.

The vampire didn't as his fist nailed her right in the nose.  "Ha!  How'd you like that one?!" the vamp said feeling confident....

Until he glanced to the right and saw Annabelle and Mike enter.  Three against one, not his type of odds.


"Uh.......hi!  If you guys are looking for booze, I already checked.  There isn't any left.  So I guess I'll be going the vampire said, beginning to back away.

OCC:  To the combat thread, you can all join in now.  Three against one.  Buffy took 18 points of damage this round.

"You're going nowhere except back to hell you unholy monster!" Annabelle shouted as she rushed towards the vampire and leaped in the air, trying to nail him with an impressive jump kick.

Her leap was breathtaking, her kick not so much as the vampire managed to dodge out of the way.

Mike also got in on the action...feeling the spirit of Chuck Norris flowing through him, he nailed a vicious sweep attack at the vampire, that sent him on his kiester, and followed it up with a vicious axe kick to his downed self.

"Kickin' it old school."

"Leaving already? Awwww so sad....NOT! I'm far from done with you! Game Over Pal! So time to shut it!" Buffybot punches the totally wimpy vamp, now an easy target on the floor.


"Arrrggghh!!!!! Do you have any idea what this floor smells like?!!" the vampire said getting a good sniff of The Fish Tank floor.  "Good thing vampires don't catch disease, I'd probably have a virus by now just by touching this thing!  It smells like sweat mixed with booze mixed with dirty socks that haven't been washed in years! Did the people who came here have any idea what soap is?!

OCC: Back to the combat thread. Vamp's on the ground, but still solid.  Someone needs to finish him off.

"Oh yeah we believe it in SPADES! Before you came in and tried to take advantage of a so called 'easy mark' now you want to run away. As the other lady said YOU'RE NOT LEAVING! One more peep of you or I throw household cleaner all over YOU!" Buffybot moves in for the finish and delivers a  couple of bonecrushing punches.

"Ahhh!  Owwww!!!  You're real tough now that your friends are here!" the vamp managed to get out, despite being in tremendous pain.


Mike goes for the coup de gras.

"If you're going to make an ash of yourself, I should help."

Thok!  Foom!  The vamp explodes to dust, leaving our heroes alone in The Fish Tank.

OCC: All enemies defeated.  Back to the main thread.

Buffybot shook her head. "Tougher then you......youre the one that's dust now pal. The sad thing is that he really almost had me there. That's that." She looks at Annabelle and Mike. "So are you two ok. I assume you had issues as well."

Mike shrugged.

"Nothing overly important. Killed a vamp who wanted my blood, we killed a turok han together, then we finished this guy off. All in a night's work, really."

"I encountered and slayed one on my way out of the marketplace. Annabelle said returning to her cart full of supplies and pushing it towards the back room, hoping to find a working refrigerator.

"Then as Michael said we were intercepted by a Turok-Han who tried to block our way into the back entrance, whom we've now slain.  And Michael is apparently kicking his enemies now. That's new.

I got bored. Decided to change it up. Probably because the first vamp I killed talked about Chuck Norris. Decided to show him what 'Master Norris had taught me'"

Even though the truth is that Mike's fighting is more a matter of speed and strength then skill.

Annabelle finds a working (and surprisingly clean) refrigerator room  in the back of The Fish Tank with plenty of room to store her food and Mike's blood supply.

A door in the back of the refrigerator leads to a freezer to keep any frozen foods.

"Well now isn't this a peachy surprise." Annabelle said as she began to unload all her frozen and refrigerated foods.

"Michael, get back here!   There's a working refrigerator for you to keep your blood packs fresh!" she shouts out to the other room.

Mike quickly makes use of it to stock his supply of blood. Now if he gets a case of the munchies, Annabelle is no particular danger.

Moments later after the refrigerator was stocked with food and blood, Annabelle turned her attention to the next order of business.

"I think we could all use some rest and recuperation for a few hours.  And honestly I'm anxious to see if my Slayer healing works like it should.  But first we need to barricade the front and back doors, lest any other vampires looking for alcohol wander in.

A few minutes later, both front and back entrances have been secured.

Annabelle and Mike take the two cots in the back of The Fish Tank while Buffy shuts herself down as our heroes try to grab some much needed rest.
