Chopping off the head renders the vampire inert (but it can be revived if the head is put back into place). quote:Romanian myth also states that vampires have an obsession when it comes to counting things, so dependent upon the type of vampire we are facing if someone threw, say, a bag of marbles on the ground this might actually be an effective delaying tactic. Sesame Street was apparently right. This gives us some bigger issues though. We have access to the Webley revolver, probably the most powerful handgun in the world, and because they're compulsive counters we can't reenact Dirty Harry.

I want to come up with a plan that involves coming in stealthily from the servants quarters and methodically clearing the ground floor going in a clockwise path, before going upstairs. However I'm almost certain that the undead have innate nightvision and an ungodly sharp sense of hearing. I think going in guns blazing is a better plan anyway. I want to wait for an alternative plan before voting, though.

Can we just set the mansion on fire as we assault? Should be one of the few things that's as bad for the vampires as it is for humans. Use some lamp oil to really get it going, or even make some

Burning the place down on our way out isn't a bad idea but setting a fire on our way in is just asking to be trapped between flames on one side and an angry bloodsucker or three on the other since I don't think anyone has any skill points in arson to set a controlled fire.

Sanaki's Lucid Dreaming posted:Wait, why am I the damsel in distress in my own dream? This is silly! I should change that. I'm gonna say I gunned down a whole lot of vampire stoolies with the Maxim before one of them sneaked up behind me, and then I tossed this piece of paper here on the still hot water jacket... Contingency Plan CASTLEVANIA If you're reading this, I've been kidnapped by vampires! And not the sexy and gentle kind, either! SAVE ME, ASSHOLES! Maxim Team: SYPHA 2x persons, equipped with The Maxim Gun (2 sp) 2x Blackjack 2x Webley Revolvers 2x Holland & Holland 12-guage shotgun 2x Lanterns as much ammo as possible for The Maxim Gun while retaining a move of 4-5. Pointer Team: ALUCARD 4x persons, equipped with 1x Holy Water (1 sp) 1x Dog (1 sp) 4x Derringers 3x James Prudley & Sons 10-gauge shotgun 1x Holland & Holland 12-guage shotgun 4x Blackjack 4x Pattern 1796 Cavalry Sabre 4x Lantern 4x Torches Enough ammo to retain a move of 6-7 Backer team: TREVOR 4x persons, equipped with 1x Holy Water (1 sp) 4x Derringers 3x Winchester M94 in 30-30 Winchester 1x Holland & Holland 12-guage shotgun 2x Wood Axe (1 for the shotgunner) 2x Cleaver 4x Blackjack 4x Lantern 4x Torches Enough ammo to retain a move of 5-6 SPECIAL RULES OF ENGAGEMENT One person each on ALUCARD and TREVOR should have holy water ready to go at all times. Should a vampire be found, IMMEDIATELY use the bottle. If safety and time permit, decapitate or burn all undead bodies. If you find me, get me out of the house ASAP! Chuck me over the railing or out the window if you have to--I can take a ten foot fall! Maybe sprinkle some holy water on as well, just in case one of the vampires looks like a Japanese soldier lady? SCHEME OF ACTION ALUCARD to breach the west window, under cover of SYPHA and TREVOR. As ALUCARD clears rooms systematically, TREVOR stands in positions to provide fire support and guard flanks and rears, while SYPHA remains outside and moves as needed to provide fire support through windows and weak walls, entering the house proper once the living room is secure. A rough point-to-point plan of the assault is attached--blue is SYPHA, red is ALUCARD, green is TREVOR. Clear the ground floor, then the first floor.

Plan Evictus. Assemble out front in an unruly mob and present a deed to the manor. Declare the vampire uninvited and they are evicted. Shoot them a lot when they are ejected from the building.

Partly because I believe in honoring the weirdly specific wishes of the disappeared, and partly because I had some half-jest, half-serious input that was incorporated, I'm changing my vote to Contingency Plan Castlevania. Also, a suggestion: keep a bottle of holy water in reserve. If there's any doubt as to Cartwash's identity when we find her, empty it over her head. Either she'll be very annoyed (which is good--annoyance leads to anger, anger leads to bloodthirst, and bloodthirst leads to more dakka), or it's a soon-to-be-ex-undead. bibliosabreur fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Aug 28, 2018 |

FrangibleCover posted:Excellent, another Sharpe fan. I'm not totally sure if they're the best weapons for this scenario but if you're offering them there's no way I'm not taking them. Do you know what you want for your other personal arms? A Webley, of course, the true pistol of a gentleman. And whatever else the Sharpe-sword-having class requires of me.

Plan Castlevania if onlookers have a say. The other plan completely lacks any opportunities to drop Maxim gun related one liners. p.s. Why no dog with the Sylpha team?
