There was another vampire there younger who went down during the combat with Narses who was that?

That was Durdona. Will he believe though that Shabah allowed one of her own Clansmen, and a female member to boot, (though Bernardo may not know how truly rare female Assamites are during this time period) to be diablerized by you? Course, that's assuming that Shabah KNEW that Durdona was an Assamite. Hard to know what Elders know or how they know it of course.
Or you could say f+@+ it and try and kill Khay'tall right now!
How about it Michele, any thoughts on the best approach? ;-)
Well the tabletop version could not die when his head was cut off and his heart is not in his body. Better off to make the deal with the devil... I mean snake.
He was the snake in Michael’s garden and there is a reason for that.
“....... They have infiltrated different levels of society and perhaps even the Doge’s most fervent supporters the Dandolo’s. Perhaps that is why he excommunicated us.
LOL, nice play here, getting the Inquisition to look into your family's mortal foes ;-)
Figured make the most of my time hanging around. Can’t totally shake that mortal coil yet
I will move the Ranerius/Onfroi scene forward tomorrow.
Hey, can he turn my herd and I adopt them as my daughters?
As in, blood-bind them? That is not a generational restriction AFAIK.
I mean, no doubt one of them would eventually rise up and destroy me, but that means my next char would be Gen 5 - I am up for that :D
@Draining his vitae:
Yeah, that's gonna be a no from me.
Dude may be spent, but even with his base skills I could probably not even get a grip on him and trying to bite down I'd probably break my fangs on his passive Fortitude.
Thats before he pumps 10 blood points into his attributes and drinks me dry like a Capri Sun.
Or dominates me into a puppet.

Yes. But. They would need to feed and that would require the Prince's OK for them to reside here permanently (remember, you don't know he's dead yet). Of course, IF Narses tried to have Alexander killed, that puts you at odds with the Prince so maybe you don't care about that anyhow if you decide to aid him.
They might not necessarily rise up and destroy you, depends on their treatment. If you consistently reinforce the bond and treat them with respect (Love is a stretch in Vampire!) it's unlikely they would rise against you without some outside influences.
Well, either Alexander had a permit for his previous flock, or he did not care then.
He is siring them, so Franz does not exactly feel 'responsible'. But yeah, he would consider them a great asset.
So even if the new prince does not want them to reside here permanently, he would try and find a way to keep as many of them operational as possible.
(Of course, he could also try to drink a few of these choosen vessels dry to raise his own generation...) :D
(Not those in the house though...he brought his favorites for the maid training.)

Based on your conversation with him so far, you'd bet that he did not care.
He makes Mortal Kings you've met look like modern day therapists with respect to how self absorbed he is.
The younger the Cainite, the less chance to leave a soul shard ;-)
Man obfuscate six is neat

Especially against 99.9% of Mortals, then there's that .1%...
I see the Holiday slow down is upon us!
I await posts from the following players:
Franz,
Geoffroi,
Bernardo, and
Tassilo.
I expect things to be a bit slow the next few weeks but hope to pick up the momentum we had the last few weeks post 1/1/2021. Hopefully our 9th year of the game will be the best one yet!
How's that for a post? Machiavelli, eat your heart out!
Was trying to post but I've been working all f##*ing day long so yeah, tomorrow it is...
Sorry, Holiday slow down is right. I'll try to post in the next two days but at this rate 26th seems most likely
Been slow, only have Ranerius to respond to.
Taking tonight off again. Tomorrow I will respond to Ranerius and move forward with the next Interrogation in the Michele, Lorenzo, and Vitaliano scene.
Still here just slogging through the holidays like the rest lol
Writers block today, will post tomorrow.
Sorry for the delays, ran table top Vampire Monday night till late then my daughter kept me busy last night. Tonight just feeling tired and have some CLE to do before the year ends.
Updates likely at mid-day tomorrow.
Happy New Year folks.
Everyone take 2 XP.
Hopefully we can get those of you who have been away from the boards posting again soon... ;-)
I'd be happy to post, but someone's got a stake in my chest at the moment. ;)

LOL, I did not mean you but feel free to post thoughts about what you are hearing!
Hu-hum...apologies for the slow part. Holidays did one thing, but I'm still deliberating as well. Apologies. I'll hurry up and do...something.
Renarius, there is a post buried here for you to respond to
Apologies for the delay!
Folks, take 1 more XP for the great RPing happening IC these days.
Looking forward to seeing how things play out ;-)
Well, seeing as how the cat has everyone's tongues the last day or so, I'll go ahead and post... ;-)
It'll be a doozy!
Best be silent and learn then speak foolishly. I will not reveal any more then I must... Nosferatu 101!
I can only internal monolog for so long ;)
Well, we shall see what the other PCs in Court have to say about all this...
Well, we shall see what the other PCs in Court have to say about all this...
Note that if no PC has any suggestions, the ST WILL have some suggestions, I'd wager the PCs wouldn't think the ST's ideas to be the bestest of ideas, considering, ya know, I'm running a bunch of Elders and you're all running a bunch of Neonates...
;-)
Alrighty, a nice little quest!
Bernardo, you were left out for obvious reasons I think but if you wish to tag along you certainly can!
Such a shame not to be included. So happy to sit that little party out
Sorry folks, was looking to bring someone in to play Baldemar as a PC but that appears that it will not work out.
Updating now.
500 posts for Onfroi with that feeding post in game yeah!

Awesome!
Sorry for the silence all week folks.
That rescue is now essentially about to begin.
Bernardo, you also have a post up you need to respond to from last week.
I want to hit them from above and to the side at one time at the darkest spot in the city before they can go
Venice by Night, ambushing the stagecoach
Onfroi will spend celerity and just after the coach leaves the grounds he will board the coach from the back using stealth with his sword drawn prepares to appear from thin air and sh be it through the crossbow man's neck and will wait for Alessandro to jump down from above and then attack.
Finally, we are about to set free our long staked players! :-)
Bernardo, I need a response form you back at Elysium.
Ranerius and Tassilo, looks like you will both be sitting these scenes out...
My apologies.
A combination of RL troubles plus had me neglect this for far longer than I realized I had :( which is no proper excuse.

No worries, once this scene is over, jump back in, right now you are outside just watching the Basilica.
Sorry folks long day at work and I am beat, updates tomorrow.
Once again apologies for the delay, RL was a bit hectic end of last week and over the weekend.
Lorenzo and Michele you should both be unstaked within a post or two! :-)
In 6 days this PbP will be 9 years old. As an early birthday present, I will award all PCs 9 XP.
Hard to believe that I have been recruiting for an running this game since the same time I got my first Great Dane and 1 year before my daughter was born!
From this game I went on to run another 29 then life REALLY changed and now I am back to just running this 1 game.
I for one am damned glad you're still running it. It's been a lot of fun.
Thanks for the XP!

YW.
Yes, I am as well.
You all may have noticed that we have had some significant attrition lately.
Considering how long it took to get where we are I decided not to recruit (though I did fancy the idea of one of my table top PCs playing Baldemar if only for this scene). I do not want to bog down the game with someone new when bringing in new people is part of what bogged down the game for several years now.
We have a good core group now and I want to keep it that way.
Once this Chronicle ends, which will be THIS night in game, the next Chronicle will be the aftermath.
After the After I will take a poll on whether we should do one more Chronicle with these PCs or his that long awaited time jump into the 1400's with new PCs (who ideally will be the Childer of the current PCs).
