Dark Ages Vampire - Bloodlines

Game Master Dennis Harry

Bloodlines is a continuation of the now defunct table top Dark Ages Vampire game wherein the PC's have created lineal descendants throughout the ages.

Attendees seeking a seat or have a seat in the Inner Circle:

Assamite - Lord Bajazet al Nasir.

Brujah – Lady Meridie de Chancie, Lord Criatas, “Dark”Selena, Robin Leeland.

Cappadocian – Lord Benne.

Gangrel – Milov Petrankov.

Lasombra - Prince Narses the Archbishop of Nod

Malkavian – Antione le Fanu, Lutz von Hohenzollern.

Nosferatu – Cristo Petradon, Simon.

Salubri – Brian Stack.

Setites – Sadir.

Toreador – Rafael de Corazon, Francois Villon, Helene la Jouste.

Tremere - Radek, Mistress Fanchon.

Tzimisce – Myca Vykos.

Ventrue – Alyssa Gilbert, Lady Jadviga Almanov, Lanzo von Saschen, Prince Alexander.

Remember - only those listed get votes. Of course influencing their Childer can go a long way to getting a vote.

Social Combat:

Let me first thank Sir Dunstan and his excellent Game of Thrones campaign as the inspiration for this rules tweak. A shout out to Vitaliano who also does an excellent job as a player in that campaign.

Game of Thrones has a Social Combat system that, while not translatable directly, I used as inspiration for this campaign.

This is a proposed rules set and I am more than happy to hear feedback from Players before I implement it in full.

Roleplaying is still required to get your point across. However, I think a mechanical system could be beneficial for this scenario, a scenario quite unlike anything I have ever done in a Vampire game before.

Making My Case

To convince a “voter” to side with your Sire, you may roll the following set of Attributes and Abilities:

1. Against someone who is clearly NOT in your favor --- Manipulation+Subterfuge+Politics
2. Against someone who is NEUTRAL – Charisma+Expression+Politics

The difficulty of all rolls is that Cainites Willpower. You will need to score as many successes as they have Willpower to win the contest. Once you engage the voter, you will only have three rounds to make your case and can only attempt do so one time per night.

If you have Presence – Awe or Enrancement, you may attempt to use these powers in conjunction with the above roll. Each success utilizing that Discipline gives you one more success on your total roll.

Beware, failing in using Presence in Elysium can lead to Sanctions by Thomas Brexiano.

Also beware, Cainites may try to turn this system around on you…

But What if Someone Else Tries This on a Voter I just Brought to my Side?

Amount of successes is a key factor here, you will want to score as many success as you can to ensure that a rival does not try to take that vote from you!

Certain NPC’s already believe that others are in their favor and would never change their votes. Those will be the toughest cookies to break.

Note this system cannot be used on:

Your In-Clan rivals, no amount of sweet talking or bribes will change their minds they all want this position badly.

Prince Narses, he simply will not entertain such discourse. Of course, this does not mean you cannot try to get into the ears of one of his Childer to have them speak with him…

Discerning My Quarry’s Intent

How can I tell if someone is for or against me despite what they are saying?

Make a Perception+Empathy+Politics roll.

The difficulty is 10, less that Cainites Humanity score. Those closer to the Beast are much harder to read. For every Century over 300 years that Cainite has lived, the DC will be increased by 1, topping out at 10, as these Cainites have well and truly mastered this game to have existed for so long in the first place.

Once you engage the voter, you will only have three rounds to ferret out their intent and can only attempt do so one time per night. You will need to score as many successes as they have Willpower to ascertain their intent.

If you have Auspex – Read the Soul or Invade the Mind, you may attempt to use these powers in conjunction with the above roll. Each success utilizing that Discipline gives you one more success on your total roll.

How else can I make my case?

The use of Presence, while frowned upon, is much less cause for censure than using Dominate. Dominate does not work on a Cainite whose blood is closer to Caine than your own. If you seek to use Dominate to convince a voter (or perhaps one of the Childer?) to vote for your Sire, it would be best used elsewhere in the city.

Boons – the boon system of quid pro quo can also be used to gain votes. You will need to offer something of course that that voter does not have or cannot get from another candidate.

Eliminate my rivals. This one is obvious though failure to do so without detection may subject YOU to the Final Death!

Shadow's Status

Gunther Thesing:
"Yes Master Thesing. I will direct them to you if they approach me again". Cyrano heads back to the Tavern to set up for the lunch crowd. What would you like to do in the meantime?

Michele Querini:
"I was under the impression they were your friends cousin", replies Marco.
"If they are a new faction it looks like they are on our side", states Gino.
"Or they are trying to create greater friction between us and the Dandolo's. I am sure that the Dandolo's will investigate. Gino put someone on it".

The rest of breakfast is finished in silence as each wonders if there is something brewing beyond the control of themselves or their enemies.
The three head to church and Michele’s mother scolds him for being late. “I have someone for you to meet later on thus afternoon. She is from a good family and will make a perfect match for her. You will show up to tour father’s house to meet her Michele Querini. Do you understand me?”

You wave her off with a charming smile and an “Of course mother”. knowing full well you will not.

As mass ends Dominic Cappelli and his brother, your former physician walk by, the good Doctor does not recognize you perhaps it is the facial hair. You shake your head remembering when his wife died all those years ago and he seemed to have lost his mind luckily for him his brother takes care of things. You realize that you will need to get in contact with Dominic soon as a shipment should have arrived from one of your contact in Avignon a few days ago. It would not bode well if that was screwed up as the Cardinal seemed to indicate that this shipment should be handled with all due care.

“Michele, I need a bath I stink to high heaven. Would you like to come out for a game of cards later? I have some ladies coming you will want to meet”. You nod non- commitally as he heads home. What would you like to do?

Michael Santos:
You skip mass and begin to pilot the gondola to Hans’ home. If you remember correctly he had a sister though you are not sure what other family he had. Realizing that they are probably unaware of his death you steel your resolve knowing that you will be responsible for breaking this terrible news. You bring the gondola to rest near a pier where you know it will not be taken and you head on foot to his home which is on the western end of the lagoon where the houses are a bit run down. Not everyone in the city has been as successful as you.

Walking up the rickety steps you remember living in a similar place when you first came to the city. The smell of urine coming from hallways you pass forces you to wrinkle your nose in disgust. Perhaps you should pay your employees more if they are forced to live in this squalor.

Finally you arrive at his dwelling, a small apartment on the fourth floor of the building. You knock on the door and almost immediately you hear a lock turn and the door swings open. The woman begins yelling in a language you do not know, the only word you catch is Hans. Dressed in very little you feel your loins shift as from head to toe she may be one of the most beautiful you have ever laid eyes on with long black hair, bright blue eyes, and perfect curves everywhere. You snap back to attention as she shifts to a language you can understand, “May I help you sir?” she states in broken Italian. Realizing your eyes are upon her she closes the open shirt she was wearing and looks a bit nervous. What do you do?

Xing Shi:
Your mark sits down and eats making your stomach rumble. You push down the feeling of hunger hoping he moves soon. It takes him nearly forty minutes to get up and going. The three men rush out the door heading down the street. Luckily many of the buildings are close together and it is rather easy to move from building to building. Soon though they move into a crowded square to a building where hundreds of people are congregating. It must be some place of worship for the nailed God. What do you do?

Max Blood Pool/Current = 20/10

Xing Shi and Storyteller:
Xing Shi pulls her cloak over her head to cover her obvious differences from the Gaijins and moves into the building where her mark and friends went into. Not understanding why they would worship a man she ignores those in prayer and tries to keep a close eye on what she is here to do.

Volkov prologue:
"What??" yells Sergei. "We've burned places nicer than this to the ground! I will be damned if some croney id going to tell me I have to get out of here! Katriana, go see this man Gunther later, and explain to him that we simply cannot leave......"

Volkov prologue:
Katriana lets out a long sigh. "If that is your wish Sergei I will take care of it. I do suggest we find a more permanent base of operations sooner rather than later."

Volkov prologue:
"We also should get some new retainers, preferably ones that know the area. That's always a big help. First step, secure this room for a little while longer. Second, get some more people. Third, find a villa or something to set up shop. Fourth, start checking around for unexplained deaths!"

Michael Santos + StoryTeller Shadow:

Michael Fixes his gaze to meet her Eyes. "Pardon me Madam, I didn't mean to disturbed you. My name is, Michael Santos, is this the residence of Hans?"

Volkov Twins Prologue:
Wilhelm interjects, "Sergei. I have Katya and Brice in another inn about a block away. Do you think we need more people? I mean I am fine with this Francois character you picked up but how many of us does there need to be?"

Francois replies, "You have seen these things. Volkov told me your story. I would take a hundred more men to aid us in this struggle!"

"Yes but we don't know who to trust. Anyone here could be an agent of these creatures they can hide in plain sight".

If the Volkov’s have no other plans to move about today we will hold here until the scene between Katriana and Gunther. Other things have to develop a bit before I jump there though …

Some background on your Retainers.
Sergei’s two:
Katya – a woman you rescued for being fed upon in a city near the black sea. She loves you but you only love your work. You often use her for “bait”.
Wilhelm – a man you met who was a hunter in the German city of Berlin. He agreed to work with you both a few years back though he disapproves of your use of vampire blood to lengthen your lives. He is decent with a stake and pretty strong but is strong-willed and opinionated.

Katriana’s two –
Francois – a man you met in Paris recently when you were hot on the trail of the vampire you think murdered your parents. He actually saved Katriana from an encounter with local ruffians in the les savory streets of the city. She began to sleep with him but she is getting tired of him and was angry that Sergei allowed him to tag along. He is “up her butt”.
Brice – a former lover who the Volkov’s met while in Hungary. He was a Crusader who had stayed in the country when he realized that the legend of the Whampyr was true. He is a hunter and a skilled fighter.

Michael Santos Prologue:
"Yes it is, do you know where he is I have been worried sick all night. He has not come home!"

Shadow's Status

Lorenzo Cappelli Prologue:
“Wait which watchman came to see you last night and why the hell would he come to see you! What do you mean he turned to dust? That certainly does not make any sense to me. Was this the warehouse near your home? ” Your brother seems genuinely confused by these revelations.

5th Generation Cappadocian | Bloodpool: 29/40 | Willpower: 6/8

Lorenzo Cappelli Prologue:
"What do I mean by turn to dust? I thought that was fairly clear, brother, just what I said he turned to dust. Yes, Dominic, it was the warehouse nearest my home. The watchman's name was Giuseppe. Now, about the religious items in the crate?" Lorenzo asks, clearly more interested in the crate than the watchman.

Michael Santos Prologue + Storyteller shadow:
Michael hangs his head low... pauses and takes a deep breath. With a look of Deepest Sympathy "Madam it is with great sadness that I must inform you that Hans has passed away. I would like to offer you and your family my condolences". Michael gives her a minute to absorb it all

Gunther Thesing Prologue - Storyteller Shadow and Gunther Thesing:

:
I think Gunther would want to spend some time with his wife and daughter now that he has a little bit of free time, possibly take care of some projects around the home that he'd been too busy to tend to.
Shadow's Status

Lorenzo Cappelli Prologue:
"That idiot, I told him to go to you if he had a medical problem not if there was a problem. I will straighten him out. Now as far as what was in those crates brother, that is something you should probably just forget about. We rent out most of our warehouses to Michele Querini. I don't ask what he puts in there and neither should you. Querini gold keeps me in the lifestye I have become accustomed to and you doing whatever the hell it is you're doing".

Michael Santos Prologue:
For a moment she is too stunned to react. Once that moment passes you are forced to lunge forward as she almost collapses to the ground in a hysterical crying fit, "Nahh. Nooo. Not Hans. Oh why why?

You hold her for a few moments feeling guilty that the desire you feel for her is increasing in her state. Once she gains her composure she looks up at you. "Can I see him? To, to make sure it really is him?"

Gunther Thesing Prologue:
Your wife is ecstatic at the time you spend around the house. Especially ona Sunday which is often the busiest time of the week with preparing for new arrivals and placing orders. Jordan is also happy about spending time with you. She confesses that there is a boy in the neighborhood that she likes and seeks your approval to date him. You may consent or not. As the day drags on you still have not heard from the guests who are less than thrilled about their "eviction".

Michael Santos Prologue + Storyteller Shadow:

Michael holds her close to his body and against his better judgement indulges a little bit in his physical interaction with this beautiful woman but then addresses her question...

"I will take you to him, but I must ask you something first. The doc that examined him after the body was recovered stated the cause of his passing and the location where he was found does not match up. The Doc is asking for a more thorough "Investigation". Would you give consent to have an autopsy?"

Shadow's Status

Michael Santo Prologue:
She looks up, "Yes if it will make a difference. Can we see him now? Wait first I should be changed, pardon me. I will be out in a minute." She closes the door and comes out five minutes later with less revealing clothing on. "I am Anya, Hans' sister..." she chokes up but composes herself "who are you?" she asks as you both walk down the rickety staircase.

5th Generation Cappadocian | Bloodpool: 29/40 | Willpower: 6/8

Lorenzo Cappelli Prologue:
"Look, Dominic, your man came to me. I have seen what I have seen, and you know me well enough to know I will not let something like this go. Strange objects in one of the warehouses, dead men turning to dust, what in the hell is going on here, Dominic?"
Shadow's Status

Lorenzo Cappelli Prologue:
"Lorenzo. I am your brother and I am imploring you not to get involved. Maybe you imagined this man turning to dust. After all you do handle a lot of strange chemicals perhaps you just saw something that didn't happen. All I can tell you is that Michele Querini deals with a lot of nefarious people. He has legitimate and illegitimate businesses. I would just forget about it. Ah, here comes the food now. After we eat let's go out and carouse and forget this ever happened. Deal?" Dominic looks at you with a smile in his face but genuine fear in his eyes.
Make a Perception + Empathy check Difficulty of 5 to determine if he is lying to you.

Michael Santos Prologue + Storyteller Shadow:
Turns towards Anya. "Sorry I didn't finish introducing my self did I ... I am, Michael, I was your brother's employer. I own the Gondola Service Barca De Fiume." fights the urge to gag at the smells of part of the city. "Have you and your brother dwelled in this city long? I am afraid I didn't get to know him that well."

Gunther Thesing Prologue - Storyteller Shadow and Gunther Thesing:

:
Spending time at home with his wife and daughter is a rare thing for Gunther, indeed. Even though the time is spent mostly tending to chores and repairs about their home, they all relish in the quality 'family time' they've been fortunate to be given as of late.
The light conversation takes somewhat of a more serious turn upon Jordan's choice of topic of conversation.

"And just who is this boy that you are interested in, daughter? Do I know him?", Gunther asked with that fatherly tone Jordan has become all too familiar with ever since she stopped wearing her hair in pigtails.

"He is just a boy, Father. He lives not far from here.", she replied softly.

"Well, I would like to meet him. I want to make sure his intentions are pure and will treat you proper.", Gunther added sternly.

Fiona smiled at her husband, walked over to him, gently placed a kiss upon his cheek and whispered into his ear, "Go easy on her Gunther. Young love, is all."

Gunther turned to her and replied softly, "Young love often turns to young lust, wife."

Jordan looked over at her mother with pleading eyes, to which her mother replied silently with a wink.

"How about we invite the young man to dinner tomorrow evening?", Fiona suggested. "Would that make both of you happy?"

Jordan sprang and ran to her mother and threw her arms around her neck.
"Oh yes, Mother. That would be wonderful!"
She turned to meet her father's gaze and asked, "Is that alright with you, Father? Please?"

"As you wish. It seems I am once again outnumbered.", Gunther commented with a chuckle.

Michael Santo Prologue:
"We have been here six months only. We were hoping to save enough to bring our parents, it looks like that will not happen now. I do not know what to do". She cries softly and you steer the gondola whispering words of encouragement to her.
After thirty minutes of uncomfortable small talk, it is hard to cheer someone up you barely know, you arrive at the good doctors house. He opens the door and gives Anya his condolences.
"May I see him?"
The doctor allows her into the room and she nods that it is indeed him. She sits with the body while you and the doctor discuss options.
"She has agreed to have it looked at?"
You nod an assent.
"Good. A former colleague of mine, Lorenzo Cappelli specializes in this sort of thing, he will be able to get to the bottom of it. I will arrange for him to receive the body tomorrow".
Anya is informed of this and after some time you both encourage her to get some air.
You provide her with a free gondola tour of the city where she wonders aloud, "What now?" the question seems directed not at you and to no one in particular.

"Dominic, I know what I saw. I even took a damned sample. I get the feeling you are not telling me everything you know. You know damned well how I analyze, perhaps over-analyze everything, tell me what is going on...please. Let me know what is going on and I will be happy to join in a day of carousing, even though you know how much dislike that activity, especially since I lost my Constancia."
Shadow's Status

Lorenzo Cappelli Prologue:
You sense that Dominic does not know much. You also sense that he really is afraid.
"Brother if you want to know, I will set up a meeting with Michele though I am pretty sure you know where he lives, he was a patient when you used to practice no? In the meantime let's just try to enjoy the day".

5th Generation Setite| Bloodpool 40/26|

Storyteller Shadow:
After mass I will head home to rest, bathe, and get dressed for the game of cards. I will make sure to look very clean/crisp, will bring some extra money for the cards, a knife in my boot and my rapier by my side. In additon I will bring a jug of good red wine, cheeses, and dried meats for all to enjoy. As I am heading over I will be a bit more carefull of where I go and who is there- still remembering the events of the previous night.

The Volkovs:
The Volkovs wish to have the retainers actively look for a more private residence, as well as start to looking for the "unexplained phenomena". We are aware this will take more than one night

5th Generation Cappadocian | Bloodpool: 29/40 | Willpower: 6/8

Lorenzo Cappelli Prologue:
Sensing his brother's fear, Lorenzo backs off a bit. "Thank you, Dominic. Yes, he was one of my patients, though it has been quite sometime since I have visited his home. If you would set up the meeting, I would be greatly appreciative."

"I know that my curiosity can be quite frustrating to others, thank you for continuing to put up with me." he says with a faint smile, and then tries to change the subject for Dominic's sake. "So where did you have in mind for our travels today? Bars, brothels, or both?"
Shadow's Status

Michele Querini Prologue:
The day is bright and beautiful. People hail you as you walk by after all you are one of the pre-eminent citizens of the Republic. As you open your door you see a note has been slid underneath. You open it.
Chaio Michele. I trust you are doing well. I apologize for the unorthodox delivery of my message but time is of the essence. I have a shipment coming from Constantinople which must be delivered to Venice by March 18. The cargo is sensitive in nature. I know you will be discreet. Please meet my agent on Monday March 2 at 5 am, the usual dock.
Eternally yours,
Sadir.

You easily follow your mark through the winding streets of Venice. It seems he is important or at least well known as many people hail him on his way. He seems intent on getting home and ihas not figured out anyone is tracking him yet.
As he arrives at what you hope is his home he stops in the doorway and looks down opening and reading a note. What do you do?

Shadow's Status

Lorenzo Cappelli Prologue:
Dominic grins back relieved at the ease of tension and change of subject matter. "In honor of your beloved I would not force a brothel upon you. I will though insist you become sloppy drunk for tonight we dine with our sister. She will be delighted to see you and give me a pass for my debauchery so long as you are with me. Deal?

Xing Shi Prologue:

Tired and hungry she is growing weary of this cat and mouse act but hold still waiting for her mark to go inside.

If any food carts come through the area she will try to get something to eat while she waits for him to go in and eventually leave again

Shadow's Status

Xing Shi Prologue:
The man steps into what is presumably his home and the waiting begins again. By noon a food cart comes down the street late for its lunch run in a nearby square. The man seems curious to look under Shi's hood but his eyes focus squarely on the coins in her hands once she produces them and his curiosity is forgotten.

Servants come in and go out throughout the day but finally after the excruciating hours of waiting pay off as the man finally steps out of his home.

His clothes look much finer than they did the previous night. At his belt is a slim sword and in his boot the telltale sign (if you know what to look for) of a knife. He holds a sack and a jug of some liquid and heads down the streets back in the direction he came from earlier in the day.

What do you do?

Max Blood Pool/Current = 20/10

Xing Shi Prologue:

Confident this is his residences she sneaks up to the house and tries to find a way in. Once inside she will look for anything that will identify the man for who he really is and what he does for a profession, if he has any family members and any link as to why someone would want him tracked.

It would be very good for business to have someone as attactive and for my own personal pleasure to have eye candy to .... shakes away the thought. I could help this poor girl get accustom to live here in Venice and provide her with means to get by.) Michael changes the subject. "What is it that you do for work? Did your brother provide for you both? Do you have an talents, skills that you can get by on? Your Dreams may still be within reach. Opportunities are abundant in this city if you know people. Can you sing, dance, row a boat? What can you do?"

what i mean by opportunities is that she can help work with my business attracting Clients, or I could get her to work in the Hotel or location i am connected with or I could keep her as a baby sitter which I can develop the story a wife and two kids old boy, a girl and a Dog.

Gunther Thesing and Katriana Volkov:
The day is spent in joy in one part of the building and in anxious waiting in the other. As the day wears on the innkeeper retrieves Katriana, "Master Thesing will see you now".
Katriana follows the man out if the inn and next door to a modest home set back from the canal. He opens the door for her and sitting at a kitchen table is a large somewhat intimidating man. Please describe one another. " This is the guest who wished to see you sir", states Cyrano. The young lady who walks into your kitchen is quite the beauty.

Michael Santo Prologue:
"Then it is decided, I can teach you to drive a gondola, but only during the day will I allow for you to operate. Until you grow familiar with the city it is far to dangerous for your to run around during the night. It will take time for your to be able to navigate the water ways, learn the layout of the city but if your up for the task it can be done, Or If I heard correctly you did say that you cook and clean. I have a very well business relationship with a good friend of mine name Gunther which he runs an Inn I could see about putting in a good word for you to work in the Tavern. It will be "interesting" work none the less but a good days pay."Miachel reveals in delight a this wonderful feeling to aid this wonderful beautiful stranger." After your occupation is taken care of we must find you a better place. Somewhere nice where you can get a good view of the water and all the splender the city has to offer whatdayasay no?. Miachel is now feeling good about the charitable work being understaking a task such as this worthy in nature, and yet guilty pleasure at heart. .oO(I couldn't do much in his passing but I can serve well in her living.)Miachel Starts to Sing as he Steers the Gondola onward.

Gunther Thesing and Katriana Volkov:
Katriana is 5'8" Brown hair, shoulder length. She looks like she is in her early 20s. Wearing very nice clothing, with a giant gold cross around her neck. The thing you notice most about her right away is that she is absolutely gorgeous. More than that, you feel you know her from somewhere........but where???

She smiles shyly at Gunther. "Mister Thesing, thank you for taking time from your busy day to speak with me. My name is Katriana Volkov, my brother Sergei and I just arrived in your wonderful city."

Xing Shi:

WOOPS
When the glass crashes to the floor Xing Shi quickly takes off and heads to where she can meet up with her contact to provide whatever information she has gathered thus far.

Gunther Thesing and Katriana Volkov:

:
Gunther Thesing appears to be in his early-to-mid 30's, stands 6'2" tall, weighs approximately 220 pounds with broad shoulders and frame, has wavy chestnut-brown hair and a full mustache & beard. One distinguishing characteristic you notice immediately about him is the scar across his left eye from his forehead to his cheek; his eye is milky white, blinded as a result. His other eye is dark brown.
His clothing are of common thread, yet are of brilliant shades of green and gold with hints of burgundy. You can tell he takes pride in his appearance.

Gunther stands upon Katriana entering the room.

"Miss Volkov, he begins as he slowly appraoches her with his hand extended, it is a pleasure to meet you. What can I do for you this day?

He pauses a moment to ponder to himself.

"Have.... have we met before? You look strangely familiar."

Michael Santo Prologue:
She looks back at you, "That would be wonderful. Thank you so much for your generosity. I don;t know what I would do without you". Her eyes well up, "My poor poor Hans. So young to be lost to me. Oh my parents will be devastated. Perhaps I can borrow money from you to provide him with a decent burial someplace nice so I can visit him everyday?" She sits back and listens to your singing with a slight smile but sadness permeates her body. Let me know how long you want to be out for and where you bring her back to. You can try to arrange a meeting with Gunther the next day though you will no doubt also receive some news from the doctor regarding Hans.
