That's stupid. Once you kill everyone they'll become ghosts.
Everyone knows you can't sneak past ghosts.

That's a good point; ghosts can go through walls, so hiding in the closet helps none.

Also, I want to change my vote to negotiate, with the realization that if the guard doesn't let you pass, it doesn't necessarily mean you get attacked, right? So if that messes up, then just sneak around. Then the killing. Which would probably help you anyway, because you can loot the bodies, take their guns, and replacethe stuff you have now, then sell everything you don't need.

But that's the dungeon crawler in my crying out, so whatever works best.

[Jagos]

Sneak in, sneak out. She doesn't have to be royal pain about it and there's less fuss.

Now if we're talking there's other vamps... Kill everything that moves.

[Krylo]

Yeah, in retrospect, negotiate, and sneak if that doesn't work. Though it will.

It's probably more in line with her character to TRY talking first.

VtM vampires are pale at best. They've even been described as looking inhumanly so at times (I remember a book with a sheet-white Brujah with bulging blue veins). In the actual tabletop game, they can use a blood point to make themselves look normal for a scene, but I think that's just kind of handwaved in this game. There's also the Assamites, who go the other way and get darker with age.

Anyway, I say you try to negotiate, and try to fail in such a way that you are attacked, so it's not TECHNICALLY murder when you butcher everyone. And if your negotiating tactics sound more like "your blood shall colour the sea red!" Then so much the better.

Okay okay, seriously though; I say you try to sneak in. It seems like something she might try.

[The Argent Lord]

I'll go with negotiate, and if that fails and you're not under fire, sneak in.

And no one finds this weird? :shifty:

[DFM]

Yes, that's why they need magic to make themselves look human so people don't start going all "Hey why's that dead thing bouncin' around and doin' the bump?"

If you mean in Bloodlines then you don't look THAT monstrous and probably everyone just assumes you're some kind of goth.

Plus it's dark out and you know if I saw a grey dude covered in blood walking down an alley probably I'd just let it slide.

Edit: Goddamn it voting is exactly tied.

[Azisien]

Ok I switch to negotiate, self-defense if necessary.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Negotiate them to death.
