Café de Nuit

Frustrated with his failed attempts to assail the creature, Nicolae cracks his whip again in frustration.

Whip Attack=21; Damage=1

(Still sickened)

After seeing the futility of his previous attack, Nicolae reaches for his whip. After Goren's seering light goes off, Nicolae cracks his arm back and lashes at the zombie with his whip while trying to maintain his balance on the increasingly unstable raft.

Whip attack = 19

Damage = 3

Startled, Nicolae reaches for his crossbow, and he his senses are instantly accosted by an overwhelming sense of nausea; he pulls the trigger on his crossbow and fires towards the foul creature that has emerged from the swamp. Crossbow Shot=24; damage=3 Threatened Critical roll=9; extra damage if a ...

Fortitude Roll=13 He is sickened.

I can't find the info for the sickened state in the book, so if it limits his actions disregard his crossbow shot.

Having nodded off momentarily from the heat, Nicolae's eyes burst open to the excitement amongst his comrades, and he realizes that danger is afoot. And he strains to assess the situation that is taking place.

Nicolae glances from the boat towards the direction to which the old man indicates, but he too is overwhelmed by the heat and foul odors of the swamp to pay much attention to much else.

Spot check = 6

Upon hearing the name of "Chicken Bone," Nicolae begins to ask a member of his party for details concerning this character, but his inquiry is cut short by the raucous that the questions stirs amongst the boatmen. Having noticed that the name seems to instill fear in the natives, he decide...

Nicolae responds in the negative to Vincent's inquiry. "I'm afraid I posses no knowledge that will assist us in this matter. And I wish I had no need of such knowledge; there are places I can imagine I would rather be than this bog."

Nicolae pauses a moment in order to take in everything that this man, Vincent, has relayed to him. After several prolonged minutes, Nicolae looks up at Vincent and says, "Then it seems likely that the best chance I have to find Jazelle's murderer is by accompanying you and your party into this ...

Nicolae pauses a moment to assess the meaning in Vincent's words. He then senses that others at the table are anticipating his response, and so he replies, "I would not judge myself to be a vengeful man;" he pauses weighing the prudence of his words, "However, the Tepestani are not a ...

Nicolae walks from his table over to Goren and introduces himself. He reminds Goren that he was the fellow from the doctor's house from the previous night. Sitting down, he orders another coffee when the bartender comes around. Meanwhile, he realizes that there is talk of a missing stone; his ears p...

After a night of strange dreams and visions from the past, Nicolae awakens to the fragrance of cooked fat and eggs from the kitchen in the Beached Alligator from the floor below. He is, however, unable to muster an apetite this morning, for he is tormented this day by visions of a former pupil. More...

Nicolae, upon hearing the doctor's interpretation of the recent events, exclaims, "Who would cast such a malicious spell upon an entire region, and for what purpose?! What could anyone possibly have to gain from the misery of an entire region of the world?" He pauses for a moment and ponde...

He's just trying to get a closer look at it while the doctor is distracted. He's not going to actually do anything with it though.
