Venice, Gangrel compound
Bernardo is not one to waste words or care much for the loss of human life that will occur here over all it must be done to preserve the secret of their kind so Bernardo nods seeing the reasons for it. well unless you have a need of me Sir or something you wish to speak of directly, I think we are done here and myself wish to move on with the business that needs attending to.

The Mausoleum -
Lord Benne listens to your commentary, "An eventful night then.
I am hoping that by tomorrow night we will have at least a framework for the Law of the Night as well as the final selections of Justicars. Assuming that is the case I will take my leave. I must report to my Sire and get in contact with Constancia as well regarding how she will respond to her role within this Sect.
Our Clan is most interested in getting back to our studies. Plumb the depths of knowledge of the mysteries of death. With the new powers acquired from the Giovanni Necromancers we are as close as we ever have been.
While I expect that you will attend to meetings here and pay attention to the Prince in my absence, your studies are the most important reason why you were chosen.
Tell me, what shall we do about this Samedi living with us? Have you learned what you can from him and should we encourage him to stay or move on?"
He leans in closer, "In my absence and with the defenses of this shrine lowered by recent activities, I cannot be entirely certain that this Yeti will not turn on you in my absence, notwithstanding the presence of Lydia".
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Other Prince -
The doors are unlocked and you enter the establishment finding no one present. You head up the stairs and find Alexander reading a book in one of the larger suites.
"Ah my young companion.
I trust this night was fruitful?"
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
San Cassiano Residenza d'Epoca Ca' Favretto -
K'haytall smiles, "I fear you just missed him Neonate.
I am not sure where he is off to at this late hour but I assume it must be urgent. Many things have happened this night and still will happen that should make tomorrow night... interesting.
Sadir is in residence though, upstairs, he may know where Querini has gone".
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
In the Hidden Salubri Haven -
"Ah understand, ah was here on a diplomatic mission wit' others...
Damn. I just realized tha' in ma' entanglements wit' Cainites tha' one o' mah allies went off ta' tha' Giovanni. Damn, I hope Dunsirn is alright".
Andrew looks frustrated but he continues, "I was ta' go back ta' my lands in Scotland an fight tha' English. Every day I care less and less about tha' struggle an more concerned ah've become about this new life.
Some o' us try an run businesses still, mainly through proxies. Others through a proxy of a proxy. Ah mahself just aided a Mortal o' this city in buyin' land ta' start a pipeweed farm just on tha' mainland.
Yer not bound here but Prince Narses himself saw ya' Embraced so I assume he will let ya' stay here fer the time bein' under my care fer now I suppose. Tha' blind leadin' tha' blind as they say.
I am sure that there is a Prince in a city as large as Marsailles but I know naught o' who he is or iffin ye'd be welcomed there.
Fer now, we can send post ta' whoever ya' got there as kin sayin' ya' need more time here. From there, we can figure what ta' do later".
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
Palazzo Abadessa to Alla Vigna -
Durdona appears genuinely crestfallen at the sheer callousness of the Elder but quickly recovers.
"Agreed, we have learned what there is to learn here.
Time to move on".
You head to Alla Vigna Inn, the rain having subsided almost entirely. While the fighting in the streets has not. The Mortals are playing Hunter themselves now. One faction hunting the other, you wonder what this city will look like in daylight, too bad you will not be awake to see it. Coups are bloody both in success and failure.
Durdona is singularly focused on what's next, that is for certain. Even though the hour draws late and these Inns force you to criss cross the city and the fighting forces backtracking as well. After all, you must remain out of these affairs as best as possible to preserve the Silence of Blood.
One of the detours brings you to Ca Formosa, the Nosferatu Haven. Dragan suggests dropping in and searching. Besides the mindless blood dolls who reside here, the place is empty. No Ghoul and no Cainite is present here at this time.
The hour grows even later and finally you arrive at AlLa Vigna Inn and enter the common room finding an altercation took place here sending the herd to the corners of the room cowering in fear even if their minds are dulled.
One Cainite is in the middle of the room, a stake in his heart, he is immobilized.
Two others sit at the bar, one you recognize as the Elder that you encountered in Padua, the older gentleman. If his companion is here you do not see her. The other seated Cainite present is a serene figure, dressed in white, the face of an Angel. He is pretty, likely enhanced by Tzimisce fleshcrafting.
Standing next to them is a Viking, long beard and hair braided, he appears bemused by the body in the middle of the floor and was mid-speech as you entered "...does not die. Just lies there?"
Behind the bar is a slight man whose face is hidden by a cowl of a hood.
Durdona steps into the room, "What has taken place here!
That Cainite is Antoine le Fanu Inner Circle of the Camarilla, why has he been assaulted...".
Then she gasps, "Bagrat, are you alright? The Prince has been seeking you out".
It seems that going Inn to Inn has led you to her quarry!
This situation though is more dangerous than she realizes.
The Elder stares at you ignoring Durdona's question, "It was unwise to follow me here from Padua Ancilla. You have no business here".
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Mausoleum -
Lorenzo nods in agreement at Lord Benne's comment about the studies of the clan, adding "I feel that beyond the study of the necromatic arts, we should put a focus on the Salubri discipline of Valeren, particularly their 'healer path'. Are not life and death just opposite sides of the same coin?"
When questioned about Yeti, Lorenzo answers, "He has already taught me the basics of the Path of the Cenotaph, which I believe is the knowledge Ambrogino sought to pry from our Samedi guest. With that knowledge secured and our willingness to betray Yeti to Ambrogino, I think it is best if we encourage Yeti to move beyond Venice."
"I am sure Lydia will continue to be a valuable asset to us, as will my newest ally, Brexiano's former servant, Moses."
Venice, AlLa Vigna Inn
Bernardo stands there cooly surveying the scene and listens as his somewhat dubious companion calls out that the man prince is looking for is in the room. After he is addressed Bernardo will say I took it upon myself to do some business for my prince in Padua who had me come here on a separate matter and I came into contact with the prince of this city who sent me to meet these fine souls I am with only to bring me once more to you. So don't flatter yourself, I could care less about you or why you are in this stink hole.
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
Via Orsoline -
The merchant prince seems inured, if a little distant as he salvages what he can... beheading the traitor when done.
Have I ever told you i do not appreciate this aspect of the transformation?
Thank you... Let's go.
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Mausoleum -
Lord Benne purses his lips, "An interesting idea Childe. Pursue that line of thought, perhaps the study of Life will reveal more of Death. Quite interesting indeed.
Good. Let Yeti know that he is now free to go. If he does not leave by the time I leave, I shall ask him to accompany me on my journey.
Ah. Who is this Moses?"
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Mausoleum -
Pleased by his Sire's apparent interest in his latest thoughts on studies, Lorenzo allows himself a small grin. "Of course, my Sire. I am glad you approve of the idea of studying the possibility."
"I will seek out Yeti before settling in for the day, and let him know that he is free to leave."
"Moses is a ghoul, once a servitor of Brexiano. It was he that Brexiano sent to watch over me prior to my embrace. With Brexiano currently absent, he sought a new patron. As I had a previous relationship with him and knowing that Dominic would no longer be available to me - either through what happened this evening or by Ambrogino's embrace - I simply took advantage of an opportunity to gain the services of a seemingly very capable ghoul."

Querini Compound - Michele Querini
Michele is going to use his powers of Obsfucate to gain entry. When close to the building going to us Visceratika- Scry the Hearth to pinpoint the exact location of my father. There is an opposed roll of wits + stealth diff 6 if he is tryin to hide. Once I know his location I will proceed there. Marking off a Willpower point.

Winnowing Inn, the other Prince
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
Greetings Inn -
"Yes an experiment in control. Indeed, most of the western Princes have agreed to be bound by its "laws" at least for now.
The east, well, the east has a long history of fracture, especially the mid-east, the Assamites and the Saracen Cainites have no desire to bow to western will, especially not with the rise of their Mortal proxies.
What Clans stand to benefit most is hard to say.
One could argue that the Low Clans have an advantage as they now have a seat at the table when before they were dogs begging for scraps. One could also argue that the High Clans have an advantage as they now have even more control over the actions of their Low Clan cousins.
I would argue it is the Elders that win and the Neonates and Anacillae that lose.
The Prince stands to gain much from this unification. His prestige rises as his city is the seat of Camarilla power. In addition, Narses power was on the wane with the fall of the Cainite Heresies. Now he waxes as the visionary behind this new Sect.
I..."
Before Vykos can continue yet another Lasombra enters the room, more directly this time as he waltzes right in from the shadows in the corner! The Vhozd roars in challenge but Vykos raises a hand to steady the Beast.
Vykos stands and approaches the new entrant, you recognize him as an Anacillae Lasombra and Childe of the Prince, Lord Leopold Valdemar, "Seneschal, to what pleasure do I owe this visit?"
Valdemar frowns, "Vykos, you have barely attended Court. The Prince wishes to ensure that you are well. You lose the ability to have a direct impact on the course of the future of this new Sect by your absence".
"I fear that my Elders require a great deal of attention and I have so many to answer to that I have had little time to attend Court Valdemar".
** spoiler omitted **...
"Indeed I am, Lord Valdemar...Tassilo Donadei at your service. I know our paths have crossed at some point over the decades, the location however eludes me at the moment...Sicily perhaps? My ship docked earlier this evening from Constantinople, Vykos has done me the honor of getting me abreast of the most interesting events happening here in your city, I wish to learn more of this Camarilla, especially since I'll be calling Venice home for the foreseeable future..."

Geoffroi nods
“Certes, that is the best that can be done for the nonce. I had already prepared my staff for a prolonged absence, I shall send word that I am to be delayed. “
He looks thoughtful
“Perhaps you can show me what powers I do have? Or at least start to instruct me in their proper usage?”
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
San Cassiano Residenza d'Epoca Ca' Favretto - Vitaliano
Vitaliano had expected that there was a chance the man was not here. He had, after all, missed the council meeting. He nodded to K'haytall "Hmm, Sadir? I'm afraid I've not had the pleasure of meeting them yet? Would you mind terribly introducing me to them?[/b]" he asked politely as he stepped in out of the streets.
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
AlLa Vigna Inn -
The Elder shakes his head, "I served one of the greatest Emperors ever to live.
My Grandsire was a Childe of a Legend.
They were skilled at subterfuge, you are not".
He ceases to pay attention to you as he turns to Durdona, "He is here yes. I am waiting for you. Narses..."
As he speaks a shadowy figure emerges from Durdona's cloak, its body the stuff of darkness.
Through it Narses voice speaks, "Nemesis.
What brings you here? The same thing that brought the Malkavian here? You seek to stain my triumph?
The Dream is dead, it was dead before a century ago, the Mortals merely picked its carcass".
The Viking takes a step back, "What is this foul sorcery!" He draws a weapon. The Malkavian merely sits at the bar, languishing it seems in misery.
Belisarius retorts, "I am here to take from you".
He turns around and grabs at the ghoul whose eyes go wide, Belisarius pulls him over the bar and sinks his fangs into the man named Bagrat.
"NO!" screams Narses and the room gets dark quickly. Stepping through the figure, dissolving it is the Prince himself! Coming through with him are several tendrils of darkness.
There is murder in the eyes of both of these Elder Cainites.
Belisarius -

Via Orsoline -
Alyssa grins, "Yes, well, he was a traitor loyal only to his own lust for power. No loss in the death of that one".
You head up the stairs and can hear the twang of a crossbow being fired!
The bolt punctures your heart! You feel as if you may even freeze in pain but you try and resist...
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Mausoleum -
"Your foresight serves you well Childe. I am well pleased with your progress.
Speak with Yeti. I shall retire to my chambers".
You find Yeti sitting on the same bed under which he was held as a prisoner by Ambrogino some weeks ago, he stands up, "Lorenzo. Good to see you.
Now that I am an official member of the city, I am wondering what my role here in the House of the Cappadocians should be? I know by my appearance I am unappealing like a Nosferatu but with my powers of Obfuscate maybe I can infiltrate them for you? Outside of the Lasombra they are the other power faction in the city, at least that's what I used to hear the Giovanni say".
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
Querini Compound -
You discover that your father is in his study with three other figures.
There is a back door to the house through which you can reach that study with only a few turns. Obfuscated, even the few people that are walking in that area will not know you are there.
You take that route and stand in front of the door to the study, within you hear your father yelling, "How could he have done this without my approval! My son is missing and my nephew takes such bold action before we are even ready. The Dandolo's are now seeking my nephew's head, how can I not give it to them when this coup has failed so miserably!"
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
Winnowing Inn, the other Prince -
Have the Ventrue selected a Justicar? Lanzo was there yes?"
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
Greetings Inn -
Valdemar nods, "Yes, Sicily, the domain of Gratiano himself is where we met.
Constantinople eh? Narses is sorry to have lost it as a vassal state but then that particular Brother of mine was not nearly as clever as he believed himself to be.
Indeed, Narses would welcome new blood to Venice, we have had some.. attrition... among the members of our Clan recently.
I will arrange for an introduction tomorrow night, tonight is, too busy to do so".
Vykos interjects, "Tassilo, I fear that I cannot invite you to stay here as my prior guests will be returning with business most urgent. Valdemar, tell Narses that I have chosen myself as Justicar and do not object to any selections made by the other Clans.
If there is nothing else, I would ask you two to step outside and conclude your conversation there. I am sure that the Seneschal can give more insight to what is taking place in Court than I can my new friend".
Valdemar's lips pull tight in frustration, "I shall do so.
Come Tassilo. If you have questions or wish to set up lodgings for the night I can and will assist you.
Most of what I had planned this night has borne only frustration already. Perhaps more mundane activities will make the end of the evening more fruitful".
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Mausoleum -
"Good Evening, Yeti. Oddly enough, I was just coming by to speak with you about the future. We believe that you have been beholden to this place long enough, first through your imprisonment by Ambrogino and then your alliance with Lord Benne and I. As such, we felt it was more than time to grant you your freedom to leave the Mausoleum, if that is your wish. You have already introduced yourself to Narses, so that would no longer be an issue for you, my friend."
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
San Cassiano Residenza d'Epoca Ca' Favretto -
K'haytall leads you back in past the dreaming and languishing mortal morsels of the common room and up the stairs to a short hallway. There are further stairs leading up but three doors down the Elder Serpent stops and knocks, "Who is it?" calls a voice from inside.
"Sadir, I have a Neonate here to see you, the Malkavian..."
A few moments later the door opens and Sadir stands before you, breeches but no shirt. The room is dark and his look is foreboding.
His eyes narrow as he looks you up and down, "What do you seek from me Neonate? Has the Prince sent you to seek the whereabouts of my Clan this night? If so, you waste your time, I have already seen him".
K'haytall withdraws, "With introductions made. I shall see my way out". He heads down the stairs.

San Cassiano Residenza d'Epoca Ca' Favretto - Vitaliano
Vitaliano looked mildly taken aback by the lack of actual introduction beyond simply his clan. He bowed politely "Forgive me, fortunately my arrival does not carry such a weighty voice. I am Vitaliano da Riva and I was here to simply seek out one of your clan, Michele Querini. The one who...introduced me, said I should speak with you and lead me to your door. I apologize for not bringing a gift of some kind, as you well have guessed, just came from the Elysium." he said simply.

The Elders ancient Byzantine blade makes short work of four of the six tendrils of darkness. His movements a blur!
The two remaining though grapple at the Elder and yank his arms apart, one crushes part of his wrist.
Narses lunges forward at his now grappled opponent and sinks his teeth into the Ventrue's neck! The Prince yanks his fangs out ripping part of Belisarius' neck with him. The Ventrue's head dangles forward his eyes flickering, it seems he is at the edge of the Final Death.
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
AlLa Vigna Inn -
Prince Narses, chin dripping with blood, grabs at the Elder Ventrue's chin and raises it looking into his eyes, "Centuries have I longed to have you in my grasp my old foe. And now, you die".
Time pauses for a moment, these two Mortal and Immortal enemies, so long to have plotted against one another, may have their rivalry ended in the blink of a Mortal eye.
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
AlLa Vigna Inn -
Then, from the top of the staircase emerges a ruffle of clothing. The figure is slight of shape its clothing dark, but not as dark as the shadows of the room.
It charges down the stairs and attacks the Prince from behind with a blade, you can smell the toxins emanating from this wicked weapon. It strikes the shadowy cloak of the Prince. The weapon explodes in a fine green mist but so too does the shadow cloak of the Prince.
The ancient Lasombra turns and hisses, "Shabah..."
This Shabah is still a blur, with her weapon turned to dust by her own deadly powers she uses knife edged chops to attack the Prince with her fists. The speed of it is almost impossible to follow, did she strike his twice, four times, six?
Her assault bombards the Prince and he falls to one knee, likely only rage holds him up. But then it seems even rage is not enough, he slumps, face first on the floor.
His tentacles still grip Belisarius tightly.

Via Orsoline -
For a split second you feel your body seize as wood almost pierces your heart, you smack the offending stick away and your body absorbs the wound in a way you could have never as a Mortal!
The Hunters call down, "My next shot will not miss!"
Alyssa rushes up the stairs, "No more time for subtlety..." She activates Celerity to reach the top of the stairs in a split second. And is shot at! The crossbow bolt deflects off of her chest harmlessly.
Wilhelm - Damage
Alyssa Soak

Winnowing Inn, the other Prince -
I have decided that I will stay in the city. This will be the new center of power and I wish to be at its nexus.
Narses no doubt will wish me gone. Use your influence with your Sire to argue that I remain. That shall be your task prior to the Conclave tomorrow evening".
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
Elysium to Home -
The Prince nods to you and you withdraw from the Prince's Court.
With the chaos of the Mortals in the streets, you manage to find the Inn where the Tremere are rumored to be staying. You are greeted by Veronica Acqua who informs you that Radek has not been staying here and she has no idea where has has been staying. Moreover, her Mistress has taken her leave from the city.
As the hour is late enough and the way home may be dodgy, you opt to settle the girls in rather than hunt the city for Radek. You can always organize a meeting tomorrow night at Elysium.
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
Querini Compound -
After a few minutes of waiting, one of the guardsmen comes down the hall and enters the room, you follow, still Obfuscated.
"My Lord. Your Nephew Marco has been rumored to be captured. The Tiepolo Patriarch has denied involvement in this plot and disavowed any in his family who will be found to be a part of it".
One of his advisors turns to him, "I suggest you do the same.
Cast away those who must be cast away to save your self!"
Your Father sighs, "Such as it must be. The neonates are the future but the elders must be preserved for the greater good. The clan must go on and sacrifices made.
I just wish that we knew what is happening with Michele!"
The two advisors and the guards exit the room to carry out your Fathers orders and close the door behind them.
Your father stands and turns to a portrait of the family, himself, your mother, you and your siblings. His old hands caress the oil painting and he growls in frustration. His breathing is heavy and his heart is pumping, you can hear it beating in your ears you are so close to him...
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
San Cassiano Residenza d'Epoca Ca' Favretto -
"I am no Tzimisce and require no gift Vitaliano.
K'haytall seeks to unnerve all those around him. He is aware of proper etiquette and protocol but simply does not care to follow it and he breaches it to his advantage.
My Childe is out performing a task for the Prince himself. It is unlikely that he will be back until very late. If you wish to wait for him downstairs you may. You may also stay here by Day if you wish. Just like your Inn, we have plenty of rooms available.
Drink up, soon these Mortals will all have to be slain anyway and this Inn scrubbed or burned. The Silence of the Blood demands it. After all once the Conclave has concluded, we cannot continue to occupy so many of the city Inns so blatantly.
That was my plan all along of course I just wish I knew where the Kestral was to aid me in unwinding all of these plans. Damn Talisman..."
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Mausoleum -
Yeti pauses, "I had not considered that was an option...
Do you wish me to stay within the city? I believe that I have fulfilled my promise to you. Much as I am now welcome here, I fear that Ambrogino may again seek me out if I remain here.
You must know of course that if I can I will strike against him".
Venice AlLa Vigna Inn 1309
Bernardo will activate celerity, activate protrean for claws and better senses and spend the rest in what ever will make him run fastest.
Using celerity Bernardo will move forward grabbing the downed prince and his mortal friend and and Bernardo will run as far and fast with them as he can into a home with a dirt earth courtyard making sure he keeps the mortal breathing he will sink into the earth and hope to hide with them
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Mausoleum -
"Indeed, your promise has been fulfilled. As to if you stay in the city, that is up to you, my friend. Ambrogino has left Venice, but I can not say as to where he has gone. If you are to maintain an advantage against him, it may be better if he does not know your whereabouts." Lorenzo says.
"I fully understand your feelings toward Ambrogino. I hold no fondness for him either. That being said, I can not do anything to help you in that endeavor, but rest assure I will not do anything to hinder you, nor will I lift a finger to aid him." Lorenzo comments, his distaste for the Giovanni vampire obvious.
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Mausoleum -
"In that case, I will take my leave tonight.
I shall find lodgings in the bowels of the city for I do not trust that Ambrogino cannot enter this place and exit it at will.
Once I have decided whether I will remain or stay I shall inform you.
Though your Sire placed me under obligation I know it was you who freed me, were it not for you, I will still be trapped within a tomb in these walls. It is a debt I may never repay but know that I shall not forget it".
Venice by Night - Monday, March 31, 1309
The Mausoleum -
Lorenzo nods.
"Be safe where ever your travels take you, be it here in Venice or elsewhere." he says before leaving the room.
Before returning to his own quarters for the day, Lorenzo stops by to inform Lord Benne of Yeti's decision.
"My Sire, Yeti has been told that is free to leave and will do so this night for fear of Ambrogino's return. He has not decided whether to leave Venice as a whole as of yet, but said he will inform me of his final decision of whether to stay in Venice or not."
His report given, after waiting briefly to see if Lord Benne has any further comments on the matter, Lorenzo heads off to his own chambers to sleep away the day.
Venice by Night - Monday March 31, 1309
Querini Compound - Michele Querini
Many things are going through Michele's head. Plotting out different scenarios in what seems to be hours is merely seconds. Michele comes to the conclusion that it is best to make this quick to preserve himself- no more loose ends. His father is old and would die soon anyway. This would be quick.
Michele will cup his father's mouth to muffle any screams as he sinks his teeth into his neck, drinks some, and then rips out a piece of his throat to finish it. Michele will lay his father's body on the ground and using his knife make an incision over the bite wound to make it look like someone cut and bled him.
Michele will take one more look at the painting and his former life. Cloaking himself to be invisible leaves the compound and makes his way back to the inn.
