• Govi Trap

Vampire the Requiem - Ancient Bloodlines

According to Vodoun tradition, a govi is a small, earthen bottle used to trap a ghost. In modern nights, any container with a lid may be used (an empty peanut butter jar, medicine bottle, or plastic Tupperware container may serve as a govi). A Gatekeeper can compel a ghost to enter and remain within a govi until such time as it is released.

Effect

Dramatic Failure: The attempt fails. Further uses of Govi Trap incur a -1 penalty for the remainder of the scene.
Failure: The attempt fails.
Success: The character succeeds in compelling a specific ghost within range of sight to enter the govi (which may be any small container with a lid), trapping it within. The govi will hold the ghost for a number of hours equal to the Gatekeeper’s dots in Carrefour. If the lid is removed, or the container is broken, the ghost may flee.
Exceptional Success: The attempt succeeds, and the ghost is so intimidated by the Gatekeeper’s power that it agrees to answer one question absolutely honestly, to the best of its knowledge.
