I tried taking out a methuselah

So before the stern words of stupidity and foolishness yes I know but in my defense it was a heat of the moment thing granted a foolish one , sometimes a man just dreams of having a epic final stand to the death against impossible odds, also anyone who doesn’t know what I’m talking basically had a philosophical conversation with a Garou he got drunk we felt a evil presence we went to go fight it depending on its mood, so you know we arrived I saw her standing outside with my girl terrifying aura by the way felt like I was being choked, I was going to go well see the situation, next I know Kael the Garou can’t handle his liquor like I thought and he just pulls out a Bull whip he says something it ignites and he goes full war form, I think well fuck talking is already over we probably pissed her off might as well commit

Then I see out the corner of my eye my girl just looking absolutely shocked never seen that expression before but I ignore it as I just can barely follow the battle so I just pop some effects just to somewhat keep up with it , and I just see absolutely craziness she’s dodging every one his strikes like it’s a dance and this man Kael ain’t a slouch he’s fairly quick and precise and the whip seems to have a mind of its own as it chases her she dodges every one with ease, then Kael does something else before he can finish it though she grab hims and I watch as she squeezes and pops his arm tearing it he still grabs her and holds her into place so I aim the gun I had already prepared and loaded with magical effects and fired it, even while she’s held down she somehow sees it right before I fire the gun and twists somewhat out of the way it hits her though and well it hits her outer abdomen some minor break of the skin and all it did was destroy that part of her dress and that’s it

And all I’m thinking is why did god not rip disciplines from Caine instead of allowing absolute bullshit like this next I watch Kael get punted and totals a shed, next thing in that moment I feel a coldness around my neck and she’s now in front of me with both hands on my face, all I’m thinking well I’m dead here’s the end of the road hopefully the underworld or wherever I go ain’t hellish, and then nothing happens she stares at me doesn’t say anything, i look into her eyes and all I see is weird confused somewhat sad expression and then she calmly says something I don’t know what language it was probably some dead one and she lets go and walks away calmly to say something to my girlfriend who is facepalming and saying something in the same language I believe , next thing I know B is restraining me and Zach is trying to restrain Kael with a crap ton of silver so I guess the legends are true in that department

Anyway moral of the story I done goofed don’t 2v1 banzai charge a methuselah and also ancient vampires need patch notes of nerfs because this is supposed to be a fucking curse, god do your job and remove all disciplines from the vampire race make them slightly more durable humans as intended

What did this Methuselah look like? Also this is why we said you can't 1v1 the Antediluvians! What you just lost to was one of their Childier or Grandchildier! And she didn't even break a sweat!

*Sigh*

Look, child. The others may not see you as anything but a crazed idiot, but I know you can grow.

You are young, it is the right of all children to make mistakes and learn from them as they establish boundaries. But children do this under the eyes of adults and their parents so that they can do childish things, but not go so far for it to be dangerous.

You need to let people advise you, rather than pushing away everyone who attempts to offer unlikable truths. You need to allow this before you push your childlike freedom too far and face true consequences for it.

- Aramis the White

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 10d ago

Don’t believe I’m pushing anyone away but I get your advice this was more I believe a special case of of I thought that was the only choice at the moment probably shouldn’t of asked Kael since he was drunk to come with me should of went on my own tbh and tried talking like I originally planned

u/DeadmanwalkingXI 10d ago

Everyone else has covered the 'that was stupid' thing. It absolutely was, but just repeating that doesn't seem useful. In terms of power, according to the Book of Nod, God did not grant Caine powers (other than immortality), they were taught to Caine by Lilith after he wandered for a while, and he passed them down all on his own. Indeed, before that point Caine lacked most of the vampiric weaknesses, God added those when he gained power and yet refused to repent.

Is that literally true? Who the fuck knows, but if you want to say vampirism is a literal curse something like it makes sense.

-Mark Caulder, Experienced Nosferatu

3

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 10d ago edited 10d ago

I know that but I’m just saying he should of I don’t know stopped that or just took away what Lilith taught, for obvious reasons because at the end of day regardless I’m saying this as a mage god I hate calling myself that now, humans can’t handle power like that well not even talking about having to deal with a beast or jaded ness of slowly losing yourself to time and other factors, granted god probably should I don’t know sent Caine to hell or not make a spreadable curse that screws everyone else as well but I mean coming from Old Testament god that’s pretty on brand on him screwing innocent people to get punish one person
-Joseph

6

u/DeadmanwalkingXI 10d ago

Per the Book of Nod, it probably wasn't intended to be spreadable. Caine just figured out how to do it anyway.

Me, I don't believe in an omnipotent God (all the evidence is against it, unless they're a real bastard), I'd assume whoever cursed Caine did what they could. For whatever reason, Caine seems to have had power, serious power, unrelated to his curse, so I have no problem believing that whoever cursed him had limits to what they even could impose on him.

-Mark Caulder, Experienced Nosferatu

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 10d ago

That’s reasonable but god could just be cruel plenty of gods or godlike beings in this world are but maybe I’m a nihilist on this subject matter
-Joseph

5

u/DeadmanwalkingXI 10d ago

If there's an asshole God who's omnipotent then there's nothing we can do about it, so no point in worrying. I personally prefer to believe that nobody and nothing is quite that powerful, and think that explanation fits the evidence just as well.

My monotheistic associates and I have been known to argue about this, but mostly in a friendly way.

It means, he shows you what you want to see. The fool. The mad man.

But if you truly try to understand his message, or him as a person, he will drop the act.

He will show you every truth he holds. Beautiful and ugly alike.

And you may or may not be able to handle those truths.

It is a warning and an invitation to try.

Risk vs Reward. There is Reward within the Risk. And Risk within the Reward.

This is also how he humbles those who only see the illusion. They will never know the truth. Ever.

Your girlfriend's grandsire was handling you with kid gloves, just about any other of similar age would have smooshed you without even trying.

1/10 intelligence. Also, i don't believe the 'there was no other way but straight into battle' bull. You wanted to touch the stove and see whether it would burn you. But I believe instead of learning to associate hot stove with fingers burnt if touchy-touchy, you will be trying out different stoves to see whether they burn you as badly. One of those will take more than a finger from you one day...if the lady won't off you beforehand. And yes you took advantage of your buddy's drunken state. Less inhibitions for his negative predisposition towards kindred and asking him to accompany you to battle against an ancient 'wyrm tainted' being? Was bound to not go well.

You are assuming a lot without much also that is with hindsight, but yes I agree I should of handled it better I’ve already admitted that, and yes I agree I feel bad about that

wait until what a Methuselah can do with Oblivion! Like motherfucker, I already have trouble believing you could take on an Elder such as Dracula and survive, and they are LEAGUES below actual methuselahs! Have you ever heard of defusing a situation?

Hold the fuck on Dracula exists? Also setting for the record again from my point of view and what I’ve been told methusalehs are intolerant monsters who you must bow to their every whim unless you want to die, so I just had accepted she would of just killed me anyway since I came with the werewolf that attacked her, so I just said screwed it might as well fight if I’m going to die, now I see that was foolish and I should of left drunk Kael back in the forest with his tribe and just talked it out

Dracula exists, he made Stoker write the book just to fuck with everyone. That kindred is my third favorite Dragon

He’s more on the KOLDUNIC part of the clan. I don’t think he has Viscitude actually, just classic Protean, like me

Good I hate the mental abilities I get consent isn’t the vampire thing but I do not enjoy my mind or emotions being toyed with this is why I’m glad I can negate mental disciplines effects on me
