Elysium[/b] – Durdona

Durdona looks at the Prince and then the Dark Hunter. With a small waiver in her voice she says. "Yes my Prince. Do you have the names of the Inns where the other Canaanites stayed?"

"Does the Hunter speak or just give you information as needed?"

She opens her cloak to allow the creature to hide in the shadows there.

"I will do my best to find what I can my Prince. With your leave."
She bows and gets ready to leave Elysium and head out to Find Dragan in the rainy night.

Elysium – Durdona

Durdona shivers as she rises and hears the wind and rain. She stands quietly for several minutes in deep thought. How did it all come to this. I wanted a night of fun. That will teach me to try to break convention. It was a high price to pay. At least I have some decisions I can make, or at least pretend I can make them.

She finishes dressing, and turns toward the door. Search for the Prince's relative. See if the Doctor is available to help. Use Dragon if possible, but be careful he's dangerous. Prepare to be trained my the Assamite Lord. That should be interesting. She ticks the things on her mental list off as she tries the handle to see if the door opens or if she's locked in her room. I wonder if the Assamite will see me as something worth training or be like my Uncle who saw no worth to me.

I'm sorry for going MIA. All I can say is I'm sorry, and depression sucks. I'll get caught up as quickly as I can.

Sorry friends. I've had a week that kicked my rear. I'm doing my best to catch up, and try to have a post up by the end of today (Wednesday). I just wanted to let my games know I'm alive and kicking the week back as best I can.

Inside Narses Court - Durdona

"Thank you my prince for the additional assistance. I'm good at seeing things that need to be seen, but extra eyes to watch over me are appreciated."

About the matter of Lord Bajazet. I understand that my clan has special skills that I need to be trained to use, yes? As well a secrets that all clans have. I don't object to spending time with the Lord in Venice. It's preferred to leaving the city for an unknown place."

Inside Narses Court - Durdona

"I will be careful. The doctor, Lorenzo Cappelli, has offered his assistance and that of his bodyguard with this matter as well. I have no reason in particular to turn down his assistance. Of course I'm new to court, and don't have a good grasp of the subtleties yet." she shurgs as if to say it is your decision on his assistance.

"Vykos did not name a name, but he did say he believed that a Cainite was responsible. Either to ruin the alliance between the two of you, or to ruin him in some other way."

My condolences on your loss. Puppies are a big part of our lives. Too bad they don't live as long as we do. I'll give mine a good long hug in honor of your loss tonight.

Geoffori I hope things get better. I can imagine some pretty awful stuff, and i hope none of it happened to you.

Inside Narses Court - Durdona

Durdona bows low. "Yes my Prince. I have distressing news. Bagrat Kansarakan is missing. I went to the Inn as you requested, but the Lord there said that he had not returned for several days. He assumed that he was here at Elysium with you."

"I have offered to look for Bagrat, and Lord Vykos has offered the assistance of Dragan. He seems to be a hunter of some type." She continues to stay bowed waiting for the Prince's reaction to her failure.

Venice by Night - Sunday March 30, 1309

Outside Narses Court - Durdona

Durdona decides not to wait any longer to give her news, and ask for guidance. She enters the building, and looks around to see if now would be appropriate to ask for a moment of the Prince's time.

Venice by Night - Sunday, March 30, 1309

Greetings Inn - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

"Of course my Lord. I shall return." She bows and takes her leave of the Inn to return to Elysium.

Venice by Night - Sunday, March 30, 1309

Greetings Inn - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

"His last surviving relative? That puts a slightly different spin on things. Who might want to hold on to him for leverage over the Prince? Would that even be an option or a terrible idea?" She quickly glances and the noise, and nods as Lorenzo and Lydia leave the building.

"I will return to Elysium since that is the last place anyone acknowledges seeing him. Thank you for your offer of assistance. I'll all I can to locate him. Can you send Dragan to speak with me there. There have been so many people missing from the voting you may wish to leave my Lord." She take her leave after her questions are answered.

Venice by Night - Sunday, March 30, 1309

Greetings Inn - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

Durdona waits for the answer from Lord Vykos before she responds about having Dragan along. If the Doctor is going to assist, they may not need him.

Here to figure out how not to die...again.

Venice by Night - Sunday, March 30, 1309

Greetings Inn - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

Durdona does her best to stare straight ahead after a quick glance around. She's still so new to this unlife that her remembered human sensibilities are shocked. She looks toward Vykos, and tries her best not to stare at the "throne" he sits on, "I'm sorry to hear that sir. The Prince is concerned and send me to fetch him. Should I deliver a message to the Prince regarding this? I offer to search for him, but I am sure your resources are greater than mine."

She steps back and waits for the clan leaders response, and to see what the Doctor and Lydia has to say.

Venice by Night - Sunday, March 30, 1309

Side Alley of Greetings Inn - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

Durdona bows to Vykos, Thank you for your time My Lord. I have a question to ask regarding Bagrat Kansarakan. Our Prince has sent me on this matter. May we step inside for a moment to discuss this matter?"

Work kicked my butt for the last week or two. End of Federal Fiscal year sucks. Hopefully my posting will get back to a more consistent one.

Venice by Night - Sunday, March 30, 1309

Side Alley of Greetings Inn - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

Durdona remains quiet as the Doctor and Moses speak. She files the information away in for future thought. She shudders at the thought of what she might find inside.

"We'll wait. Please go speak to your master, but be quick about it. Will you also bring me Bagrat Kansarakan? I need to speak with him at the behest of the Prince." Durdona waves the man away with an imperious movement of her hand.

Well I would have posted tonight except a storm rolled in and the computers had to be shutdown

Take care of yourself. Maria.

In Front of Greetings Inn - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

Perception+Alertness: 2d10 + 2d10 ⇒ (9, 8) + (3, 3) = 23

Durdona gives Lydia a slightly raised eyebrow. "There's someone inside. Can't you hear the footfalls and movement?" She knocks on the door.

I'm here. :)

I'm still here.

At least you survived the deadly couch.

Take your time. As a heads up I'll be away from good computer access July 11-22.

Take care of yourself.

Venice by Night - Sunday, March 30, 1309

Ubriaco Marinaio - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

Durdona laughs Lydia's quip. "We could, but I understood it to be a sanctuary of sorts. I'm to meet someone there, and extend an invitation. I've eaten. If you wish, I'll join you for dinner if you wish for company Doctor, and Lady."

Take your time.

FYI: I'll be away from good access May 23-27 (Paizo Con), and completely away May 30 - June 3 (family visiting).

Venice by Night - Sunday, March 30, 1309

Ubriaco Marinaio - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

"My Uncle has fled the city in shame, and Suam Celsitudinem has agreed to take me on as his ward. All in all a much more advantageous situation than I was in before. How about yourself? Have you been staying occupied these last few days?"

Venice by Night - Sunday, March 30, 1309

Ubriaco Marinaio - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

"Good evening, Durdona. Nice to see you again." Lorenzo says in greeting. "We were on our way to the Greeting Inn, but were somewhat disappointed to see it boarded up. Am I to understand that Ubriaco Marinaio is closing now too?"

Looking around at the bustle of clientele, he says, "Seems rather open to me."

She gives the dangerous looking woman a quick glance and a frown. "Of course. Doctor."

The Ubriaco Marinaio is open. I just spend a lovely evening with a new friend there. The pasta was divine. I' feeling a bit crowded on this busy street and was just looking for a quieter place for a few minutes when I saw you."

Getting a post up now. The site hated me over the weekend, and I had a heck of a start to the week.

Venice by Night - Sunday March 30, 1309

Ubriaco Marinaio - Durdona Checheg & Lorenzo Cappelli

Durdona, as you are looking for an exit from the tavern, you spot another Cainite here, Lorenzo Cappelli. He is arm in arm with a beautiful but dangerous looking woman. They are whispering and looking in your direction...

Durdona gives the other Cainite a look. She nods to him and decides to approach. She gives them both a curtsy, "Good Evening. I'm so disappointed this Inn is closed. Were you also trying to visit here? I'm afraid it looks as if it's been closed for months."

Venice by Night - Sunday March 30, 1309

Ubriaco Marinaio - Durdona Checheg

She smiles and giggles at the man for a while. I need to wait for the streets to get a little emptier before I try to move on her mission. Might as well use him for a little while. "You would have been such a nice man to know before." she says quietly, and gives him a shy smile.

When an hour or two goes by, she'll do her best to extricate herself from the young man, and head back to the Greetings Inn. She'll look for a side or back entrance.

Greetings Inn - Durdona Checheg v20

Make a Perception+Alertness roll DC 7.

Perception+Alertness: 2d10 + 2d10 ⇒ (3, 5) + (1, 7) = 16

"That's too bad. I was hoping to see inside. Thank you for showing me here. You wanted to go somewhere else I believe? Shall we?" She makes note of location.

Venice by Night - Sunday March 30, 1309

the Streets of Venice - Durdona Checheg v20

"Perhaps I shall take you up on that offer of a drink after you show me the location. I'm interested in seeing the building for myself even closed." She puts a hand on his arm and allows the poor sheep to lead her away into the night.

Venice by Night - Sunday March 30, 1309

Sequestered in Darkness - Durdona Checheg v20

Make a Charisma+Carousing roll DC 6 to ask residents where Greetings Inn is exactly OR make a Perception+Investigation roll to find it yourself based on the Prince's instructions DC 6.

Durdona nods in understanding and finds herself standing alone in the night air of Venice. She straightens her shoulders, and looks around for a likely person to ask about the location of the Greetings Inn.

Charisma + Carousing D6: 4d10 ⇒ (3, 8, 9, 3) = 23

Venice by Night - Sunday March 30, 1309
Sequestered in Darkness - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona is distracted for a moment or two with the potency of the Prince's blood.

"You find the ghoul favorable or the Lord favorable?"

"I understand my task is to bring the ghoul to you. What does he look like? Do you think he'll come easily to see you or will he argue? Does he have a weakness that I might exploit to remove him from the Inn?" She thinks through the possible list of issues.

"One other question, I don't expect you to know. Who can I ask where the Greetings Inn is located?"

Even if he doesn't answer her questions, she's ready to head into the city to complete his request.

Venice by Night - Sunday March 30, 1309

Sequestered in Darkness - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona hesitates for just a little too long. "Thank you." She moves in to drink from the Prince's wrist.

Venice by Night - Sunday March 30, 1309

Sequestered in Darkness - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona stands and bows. She looks interested at his request for the evening. "As you wish Prince. What do you need me to do this night?" She knows he's not really interested in how she slept, and she's a little excited to get to see the city at night as well as being hungry.

She knows she needs to feed, but isn't really sure how she feels about it yet.

Venice by Night - Sunday March 30, 1309

Sequestered in Darkness - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona wakes in the darkness. She has time to sit and think.

Well Durdona. What have you gotten yourself into? Nothing is safe here. The Prince wants me as a pet assassin if I believe what I was told. The Assamite elders want me to travel or my after life will be forfit. That Helene woman wants me to be friends with her childe. Probably wants to curry favor with the Prince or get information from me. My Sire is still out there who knows if and when he might return. All I wanted to do was go out for a fun night on the town with my friend, and look what you got yourself into. My father would be shaking his head if he were still alive.

Elysium Front Entrance and Into Elysium - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona moves to the Prince, and bows. "My Prince." She looks around to see if anyone is nearby.

"I see the vote for this evening has ended. I don't think Lady Helene's childe wants to be my friend. The Burjah Leeland and the Asaamite childe spoke of the vote and the future. All in all an eventful evening for all."

Venice by Night – Saturday March 29, 1309

Elysium Front Entrance - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona gives Victor a nod in greeting, and a slight curtsy. "It's my pleasure to meet you. Friends in new situations are nice. It's hard to understand what is going on and who is who in this new court."

She looks around Elysium clearly thinking about a childe being an extension of their sire. "Thank you for your wisdom. I appreciate your assistance in understanding the court, and a childe's place in it. At least when tempers or control is lost you know where someone stands. I'm used to watching ones back for the knife sticking in it without warning. Again thank you, and I do hope to spend some time with you in the future Victor." She politely takes her leave entering the court once again.

I'm alive and kicking. I swore I got Durdona's last post done, but it must have been eaten. Updating now.

Venice by Night – Saturday March 29, 1309

Elysium Front Entrance - Durdona Checheg v20

"Yes Madam I believe I have. I am under the Prince's protection, and we have spoken about a place for me." she gives both the Toreador and her childe a long look as she contemplates speaking further, "May I ask what do you think this evening's events? I'm quite new here, but it seems striking your childe in a fit of pique in front of your peers doesn't show one in a good light. Is that normal behavior in this court? I've been in the courts to the east, and things were a bit more subtle there."

Venice by Night – Saturday March 29, 1309

Outside Elysium - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona waits until she feels the coast is clear, and moves back inside Elysium.

Venice by Night – Saturday March 29, 1309

Outside Elysium - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona's head tilts as she continues to listen to conversations not meant for her ears.

Elder against Childer. That does make sense. My sire sacrifice me for him in a moment.

She stays still as she hears footsteps approaching. Not recognizing the two speaking she waits to see what might happen next, and she doesn't want Giovanni to know she was close enough to hear his conversation with Leeland.

She continues to stand in the darkness and wait as the two leave.

Sorry for the slow posting. I'm getting caught up. Last week was a bear of a week.

Venice by Night – Saturday March 29, 1309

Outside Elysium - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona continues to stand in the shadows and listen. Interesting. Why try to recruit someone like Leeland? From what I've seen he's not one to be controlled.

Venice by Night – Saturday March 29, 1309

Outside Elysium - Durdona Checheg v20

Durdona stands still for a few seconds. Might as well try these new powers. She concentrates and tries to make herself unnoticeable as she carefully moves closer to the duo.

Using Obfuscate 2. Is there a roll for that?

Venice by Night – Saturday March 29, 1309

Outside Elysium - Durdona Checheg v20

"Well that's interesting. Why would a Childe of Lord Bajazet al Nasir be talking to Leeland? Leeland is out to take over, and that would be bad for Al Nasir.

She tries to slip closer in order to try to overhear what is being said.
