The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
Yes the glamour / mesmerism is ok Gree, I would expect all vampires to be able to do that. However against people who are strong willed it will not work.
will the Lhamain sisterhood make an appearance at the ball.
I'm thinking that Manruss, Nagaina and Garrag will show up trying to get Simon's Ruby

Seems Settra is going to help and has said all he can be bothered to say
Unless Rowhaine or Lord Ratty has something to add?

I doubt that they would go unoticed in the largest city in the Empire at the Electoral Palace itself.
They could break in a back door and kill the guards quickly and silently.
I mean you ever read Ancient Blood? Strigoi are scary! (All though the star in that one is badass as hell)

It also begs the question of how they are going to sneak into the second largest city in the Empire unoticed, especially at the heightened security of the Electoral Palace. There physical prowess is irrevlant, no three vampires, save possible the Master Vampires, can hold off an entire city of guards. The Strigoi, deformed and noticeable as they are, are going to be noticed very quickly. Especially if they don't have a powerful mage like Lesa helping to disguise them.
I'd say they could sneak through the city at night, vampires can move exceedinly fast and silently even bulky Strigoi.
Wall Cities in history where not highly defended things apart from wartime, I mean yes ok the Palace might have archers everywhere but walls where generally manned by the likes of City Watchmen who would be tired and freezing.
A Strigoi could climb the wall and stick to the roofs
But yes if they where detected they would have alot of trouble obviously.
Edit: Nagaina looks like a good infiltrator from her bio? Perhaps she'd give the help they need?
If it was happening that is.

But in a city that has an abundant nightlife as Nuln? And a place as heavily guarded by the Electoral Palace?
Nagaina can go ethereal open a window for the other two
@ Gree easily nobody guards the Sewers

And she is going to do this unoticed in a heavily guarded palace while letting in two obviously inhuman looking strigoi in? Is the Countess's personal guard ridiculously incompetant or something? To be honest, I would think they would notice her two companions at the very least.
The more elite guard would be heavily distracted, a ball of the magnitude that the Bimbo Countess throws is bound to cause the Guards to be focused more around the ball itself rather than the entire palace.
A really smart creature with powers far beyond that of a normal man could likely achieve it as in regards to real world history there have been assassins that have got into heavily guarded places and they didn't have a vampires abilities or magic.
And I would even say the abundant nightlife would make it easier, not matter how many people there are no citizen will be watching the tall rooftops and with the noise a busy city would make would mask any noise sneaking vampires could make by mistake.
Plus if that female strigoi can use lore of shadows to a high degree then shes bound to beable to make powerful illusions.
The argument is academic really, its fiction so neither of us can proof we're right and on top of that DoN has to OK it as well
So its not too important.
Edit: Hold on there I'm confused, I was arguing based on the point that they where stealing the gem once the countess had taken it off her person.
Gree you sound like you are saying they're going to try and steal it right from her person?
Which one is being discussed because the first may be possible, the second surely not.

It's their job to Guard the palace, you cannot expect every single one to be concerned with the ball.
Get_of_W said:
However looking human helps, and two of the three are quite obviously inhuman. If the guards cannot spot two strigoi walking about then I seriously question their state of mind.
Get_of_W said:
You would not think that there would be any people then on those rooftops partying. But it's kind of inrevelant when the Palace is going ot be heavily guarded.
Get_of_W said:
That's pretty much the only way they can do this.

That goes without saying.
Get_of_W said:
What are you saying?
Get_of_W said:
Obviously.
Gree said:
And I didn't mean every single guard would be concerned with the ball, thats foolish, I merely meant a large proportion would have to be there and the guard would be less heavily guarded that usual.
Merely it would be easier than on an average day, not that it would be easy.
I believed one of the Strigoi is a powerful illusionist/lore of shadows user, so they would be hidden from those without witchsight.
Its unlikely they would be on many roofs throughout the entire city, its irrelevant anyway I'm sure they'd be using magic to hide from the start.
Indeed, that is what I meant, the idea of them being inhuman looking is irrelevant as their whole plan would have to revolve around the use of magic to hide themselves completely.
I would of thought that would of went without saying.

If it was illusion, but did not have a college wizard there?

Yes, hes in a joking mood and temporarily forgot the scary angry 7 foot death dealing machines inability to accept humor
He was also about to make a quick jibe about his wife...

A bit quiet on the posting front today? Time to move things on a little. I quite like the two elements we having going though, as long as some people are still going to the ball. The Lahmian idea was mean as a diversion for a few characters, not everyone.
Are we going to continue the whole Nuln Escapade in Chapter 44 or move on to a different thread. Chapter 44 is getting pretty long with all of this healthy discussion and with two plotlines going on its bound to get confusing after a while.
