Cmp:<br/>The woman nods politely and takes a seat on the bed.<br/>" First off, allow me to apologize for such an unorthodox introduction. I'd been trying to figure out a way to contact you normally since you landed, without being too obvious but when I sensed you probing the area for thoughts, I figured I'd toss my own out there for you to catch. As for those other matters, I shall not delay you long, though I'd be more than willing to accompany you if you'd rather talk on the go.  I brought my parasol so the sunlight shouldn't be too much of a bother, for either of us."<br/><br/>As she says the last part, her smile reveals a set of fangs.  You realize that the woman in front of you is a vampire as well.  She has a really pale complexion, even for a vampire, and her eyes always have the red iris. Her hair is a pale white and travels down to the middle of her back. If you didn't know better, she could pass off as an albino, which is what she probably is.  Clothing wise, she wears a pair of jeans and a white turtleneck sweater with arms long enough to conceal her hands if need be, offering her reasonable protection from the sunlight.<br/>---------------------------------------<br/>Undercover:<br/>Lancer smiles, "Alright, you win. We'll investigate.  However, while I respect your desire to not be protected, that is one request I can not grant. No matter what happens, I shall be your knight, ready to fight for you and even die if necessary. Remember, you only have one life, while i have already lived mine.  Let us not tarry here and be off."<br/>----------------------------------------<br/>Digitl:<br/>The stranger shrugs, "I'll take that as a yes then." You can feel him erect another barrier in front of Assassin but she manages to throw the explosive before it is "up". This bomb looks different than the ones she's used previously, as this one has spikes jutting out of it.  The bomb explodes on the second shield, the one protecting you and him, and the tiny spikes are launched as shrapnel at you and the stranger. The stranger, out of barriers jumps out of the way of the spikes and reflexively covers all his vital organs with his arms and legs, but doesn't take any hits. (as this is a reflex save, you automatically win because of your lightning reflexes, since the lowest you can roll is 1 more than the attack roll.)<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: barrier placement<br/>Result: 11,<br/>Total: 11<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: bomb attack<br/>Result: 19,<br/>Total: 19<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20, adding -1to the total<br/>Comment: defensive perimeter block<br/>Result: 12,<br/>Total: 11<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: attack vs. Eddie and Vince<br/>Result: 4,<br/>Total: 4<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: eddie defense versus spikes<br/>Result: 7,<br/>Total: 7<br/>
