Points of Order:
1. It takes two (2) points of damage from a stake to paralyze a vampire.
2. Once paralyzed, combat ends immediately. No further strikes are possible.
3. Rescuing a paralyzed vampire from torpor costs no blood from any vampire
(Except: self-resue, once untapped, still costs two blood).
4. Multiple paralyzations (not currently possible, but who knows), would not
"stack" - a paralyze marker is not cumulative. One rescue would suffice.
5. Fast hands could not be used to retrieve the stake, since combat would have
ended.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
