Vincent has felt this sensation before, and it never meant anything good. He may be brave, but fighting alone and unarmed is just too foolish. He isn't going to die for nothing; not here, or at any other place. He moans in pain as he forces his legs to move. This isn't the time to lick his wounds and rest; he must flee. In moments, he breaks out into a run as he heads back into the safety of the mansion.
They can't follow him there. Not there. Why can't they follow him there? He doesn't remember, really. But it does sound like a good enough idea. He stays on course and heads back to the mansion.
Suddenly, the images flash in his head again. A field of spears. A severed leg. A young girl's doll. But he manages to stay on his feet. He isn't going to. He isn't going to die here. He isn't going to die here!
"Not here!" he mutters as he runs forth.
Weapons. He needs weapons. He isn't going down without a fight. Quickly, he makes his way back to his room to collect his favored instruments. A longsword, forged with blessed steel; he still thinks it looks expensive. After checking the blade's sharpness, he returns it to its scabbard and ties it to his waist. A crossbow armed with fifteen silver-tipped bolts; surely these will hurt when they hit. He slings this behind him, as it is quite bulky. A Colt Peacemaker, heavily modified by the Church and loaded with five specially made rounds; just what he needs for emergencies. The pistol he pockets in his coat, making sure that it is well hidden.
With renewed confidence, Vincent steps out of the room and waits for his opponents to arrive. Now that he is prepared, they can come at him. He will play their game as much as they like. And so he waits. And he waits. And he waits a little bit more.
"..."
His mind must be playing tricks on him. No one is there. However, he does feel much safer, now that he is armed. He steps calmly toward the dining room. For some reason, a warm cup of tea sounds really great right now. He arrives at his destination without fanfare or incident, but no one seems to be inside. However, he does notice that two of the sitting cushions around the table have been disturbed recently.
Vincent still feels a bit shaken.
[ ] Head over to the kitchen. He might find someone there.
[ ] Take a seat and wait patiently. You need to calm down.
[ ] Make yourself some tea. You can see a pot of hot water nearby.
[ ] Leave the crossbow beside your seat. It is bulky.
