As Marcus pulls around the station, the Christian, Suel and Jean notice there is a black van sitting parked across the street in the alleyway with its headlights on.  The side door is open.

In reply to Storyteller (msg # 1):

You two should do recon.   try to avoid being seen.   We will provide back up

In reply to Christian Fisher (msg # 2):

Before Suel and Jean have a chance to get out, Two figures emerge from the Police Station side entrance.  At least it looked like it was two for a moment but you can only see a single man now.  Tall with Dark Skin, and braided hair.  He is dressed in a leather trencoat.  You hear a "pop" as hes back away from the station and closes a door.  Then with one hand he grabs a dumpster nearby and moves it in front of the door.  He then turns toward the van and stops for a moment and look in the direction of your SUV.
He points in the van than at the Suv, and the the driver of the van leans out his window.  He is holding something in his hand, and everyone realizes what it is as the sound of rapid gunfire rings out and flashes of flames emerge from the barrel of the small submachine he is holding.
There are several pings as the bullets hit the side of the SUV, not doing much damage to the SUV beside a few small holes at at this range.  One does strike the windshield though and spiderwebs if cracks radiate out from the spot making it difficult to see.
The dark man looks like he is waiting for someone, and again you think you can see another figure for a moment by the van door.

Suel grabs the dumpster and hurls it at the machine gunner.

In reply to Suel Cummins (msg # 4):

Suel, the dumpster is next to the back entrance in the alleyway, where the Van is parked and you are being shot from.  The dumpster if just a few feet from the van.  You are at the end of the alley about half a block away, and were just exiting the car when this happened.  Do you want to run down to where the van is, and do that.  The driver will have a better shot at you as you get closer.

Jean let loose a barrage of profanity in French as the SUV got pounded. "[Language unknown: Man th thond!]" he said, as he started looking for some shadows or cover to hide.


20:50, Today: Jean de Griss rolled 4 successes using 6d10 with the World of Darkness 2nd ed system with a target of 6 with rolls of 8,5,7,10,5,8.  Stealth+dex to make it to cover.

In reply to Jean de Griss (msg # 6):

Jean jumps from the SUV, and finds a doorway that he can hide in.  He thinks he made it to the doorway without anyone seeing him, but did have to cross some of the road in the open.  there is another blast of pops, and you hear more bullets his the SUV.  The Shooter dosen't look like he is trying hard to hit anything.
The man get into the van and and hangs out the door, grabbing something inside.  He is also carrying a gun, a shotgun, which he had under his jacket.  He also point it toward the SUV while trying to keep most of his body in the van for protection.

(Take 2.)

Suel sticks with Jean, ducking for cover into the doorway while using his powers to conceal himself.  If only he were close enough, he’d rip them apart with his bare claws!

Moving inside the van she made sure she was in a safe spot to protect from any fired bullets in their direction.  She then waits to see what happens next and where they are heading to away from Christian's SUV.

Seeing the guy enter the van, Jean wondered if the roof was strong enough to hold his weight as he vaulted on top of the vehicle, before reaching in and grabbing the guy with the strange sounding musket.

In reply to Storyteller (msg # 3):

Do i have line of sight to the person shooting the gun?

In reply to Christian Fisher (msg # 11):

Joe manages to squeeze of of the door and duck behind the dumpster where he can see the dark skinned man, hanging out of the side van door, his Shotgun pointed up the alley way.  The driver of the van yells back to the passengers to hang on and he shifts the van into gear and hit the accelerator.  As the van starts peeling out toward the SUV, Jean launches himself from his hiding place, where he and Suel are concealed and lands on the roof of the van, but the sudden movement of the van causes him to lose his footing and he fall on top of the roof, grabbing the side of the van's roof where it meets the passenger window to prevent himself from rolling over.
Jean then tries to reach across with his other hand to grab the driver and succeed an grabbing his coat, but now realizes this is no Human driver, but kindred.  The driver shows his fangs, as he struggles to hold the wheel, the gun and pull free from Jean.

Christian does have line of sight to the driver through the windshield and can see he is also kindred.  The man in the doorway on the passenger side of the van flips his shotgun up toward the roof and is about to take a shot as Jean.

Jean, the shotgun man is going to engage with you.  unless something else interferes first, you and him will have to roll off.  This will be a major combat that will require several rolls.  If you try to keep your hold on the driver it will be harder to fight off the other kindred.  REmember he has a shotgun.  Please let me know how you are going to approach the fight (Not specific details yet, but if you are using hands, something else, taking advantage of any thing..  just in general terms to I can apply modifiers, then give me a single d 10 roll for round 1.

A voice from the back of the van give a order “Do not harm anyone or this will not go well for anyone present.

Hoping that Jean stops and let’s go and lands on the street

In reply to Nefertiti (msg # 13):

Once he establishes that nobody is looking at him, Joe will step back to the door and push the dumpster back to block it. This will ensure that the cops do not get involved in the shootout.

OOC: if required, 1 success on Strength roll to push it.

Suel rushes out of hiding to the van, where he reaches inside and attempts to use his superior strength to rip the shotgun away from its owner.

6 total successes, including two automatic successes for Potence 2.  19:13, Today: Suel Cummins rolled 4 successes using 6d10 with the World of Darkness 2nd ed system with a target of 6 with rolls of 9,8,3,4,7,9.  Strength + melee.

With the vehicle starting to move, Jean figures that the fastest way to stop it is to throw the driver out the windshield, face first.

20:35, Today: Jean de Griss botched using 1d10 with the World of Darkness 2nd ed system with a target of 6 with rolls of 1.  Throw driver out the windshield.
Well, I guess it is still a 1

In reply to Joe Dumestre (msg # 14):

Joe pushes with all his might, and the dumpster moves back in place blocking the door.

With Suel Jumping into the fray, he can take on the shotgun guy.  Suel, you will need to engage the guy.  We're using different combat rules.  Please see the post on combat.

Suel, you goal is to disarm the man?  Anything else?  You are just going to try to use your strength to overpower him?  If that is the case, please roll a single d10 and let me know if you pump any ability, or activate potence, etc... 

Jean, grabs the Kindred driving and slams him towards the windshield, but the driver is wearing his seatbelt, which is surprisingly strong and hold him back in the van.  His gun goes flying out the window though.  the van surges forward and turns as it gets close to the suv, slamming into Christian's Car's front end.  The SUV's windshield shatters, and Marcel covers Christian with  his body, protecting him from the glass.  Jean who is holding on to the roof almost slides off the van as it slams into the suv.  and his leg go swinging off the van.

Jean, if you want you can stay with the van by grabbing the passenger door or you can let go and end up on the SUV.  Staying with the van, will cause to bang into the SUV as the van turns and cause you 3 damage.  If you let go, you take no damage as you don't get caught between, but instead can roll ON the SUV. 

The van turns onto the street, its front right side smashed in.  The wheel on the side looks a bit wobbly, but seems to be holding ok.

OOC: since we aren’t doing one round at a time, Suel will grab the gun as he climbs in the van and will try to overpower the man by jamming his own weapon into his throat.  He is using his strength 5, brawling 4, and activating Potence 2.

19:56, Today: Suel Cummins rolled 1 success using 1d10 with the World of Darkness 2nd ed system with a target of 6 with rolls of 10.  Combat roll.

Doing his best to stay on, when he saw that the vehicle was going to crash, Jean leaped off and landed on the SUV, avoiding the damage.

In reply to Jean de Griss (msg # 19):

ooc: Two of our folks are at a gaming convention until tomorrow, so I am waiting for them to post before continuing.
