"I will accompany you to Lord Bion's as I am also curious on his reaction to the news."

Waiting for a chance to speak, Michele chimes in. "My sire had abandoned me to increase his chance of survival as the hunters were abound so I am not sure of his thoughts on the matter of support of you.
I do know the Elder K'haytall has given his support to Valdemar."

"Fahdi Mohammad? It has been many centuries since your serpent grandsire slithered into by Parisian Elysium and announced himself to me". He chuckles, "I recall his coterie mate Councilor Radek being a belligerent pest, so much so that I had to remove his arms from his torso and promised only to return them when he learned proper manners.

He never did, I believe his arms are still somewhere under Notre Dame, I will have to remember to ask him how he acquired new ones".

i do not remember much but I remember when that scene actually played out all those years ago!

Michele flatly states.
“I am Michele Querini , child of the Serpents. My sire is Sadir and my grandsire is Fahdi.”

Michele will drop the obsfucate.

”He is here.”

Michele will start to unwrap the area by his face so it can be properly known it is him.

"I agree that we should move swiftly with all we must do."

"If possible, maybe we should stick together so that way everyone hears what is happening in case someone can connect dots or add anything."

Uwe, Michele, Ranerius, Geoffroi, Alessandro, and Lorenzo

"I am more inclined to think the same as Lorenzo and Ranerius, Uwe, but what you say has truth to it. I believe I would not be able to make up my mind until I hear from the other "contenders" as well.
No reason to rush, correct?"
with a slight grin Michele takes a little step back.

Uwe, Michele, Ranerius, Geoffroi, Alessandro, and Lorenzo

A pale Cainite that looks to be in his late 30's that is well dressed but a bit disheveled walks a bit forward. "My name is Michele Querini and" motioning to Lorenzo "what he says certainly stands if you wish us to take our leave. Know that the steward of the city, Lord Bion, is whom we have been dealing with."

Summon Moses:

"Lorenzo, I was successful in regards to Moses."

Turning to Andrew, " Be well and know that you have a place in Venice if needed.

Turning to Lorenzo, "Of course once we are out of these chambers. where do we want to head? Back to my villa or to Narses?"

" Lord Bion, Dunstan became powerful quickly as he consumed at least 2 others after his embrace. He is quite fast and strong. He embraced my cousin, who was held by the Doge, to use him against me and kill me to take over the Querini household."

Looking to Lorenzo, "Ok, with that then what of his suggestion in regard to Dunstan?" Michele will look to Ranerius. "Unless someone sees other use for Dunstan then. I do caution you Ranerius only because his will in unlife was very strong."

the Doge's Palace

Michele comes down to his natural form and shakes his head. Looking at each of the coterie.

"Thank you all as I did fear that I, among others of us, would be lost but Dunstan and my cousin needed to be stopped. I am bringing Isaac back as I believe we have a great opportunity to help solidify the idea of the Pope vs Venice and put to task the hunters. Isaac and the guard(s) he knows can corroborate that the knight Dunstan was rescuing my cousin from his cell and was stopped by him and the men. As the saying goes this seems to tie things up rather nicely."
Michele pauses for a moment and clasps his hand.

"I think we take the 2 others to Lord Bion and explain to him what occurred and give pause see what is the best next course of action. also to see what he things of the others that fled. Isaac can inform the other ghouls what has transpired and have them help us to sake our thirst from this battle. What do you think?"

I currently fully intend to attack Dunstan when it’s my turn since all his actions are taken. If we can bring him down or hurt him enough we got a change. He has to do 7 damage to me to put me in torpor.

Spend 1 BP to activate Typhonic Maw

Michele's jaw distends to his chest, his fangs grow to the size of small daggers, his tongue forks at the tip and lashes out a meter long,
and his throat expands to consume anything he can
get his mouth around.

Split my dice pool to attack Dunstan twice with the tongue

Strength plus 1 aggravated damage (11 dice) if I hit. Doing this I do not need to grapple him.

Michele snarls at his cousin on his back then turns to the grappled Dunstan and bites.

Storyteller Shadow:

Using 6 blood- 1 to strength, 2 to Dex, 3 to Stamina. See below as the forms gives another +2 to Str, Dex, and Stamina. Currently those 3 stats are all 10s.

Also add 2 dice to bite damage.
Either form gains two dots to Strength, Dexterity,
and Stamina. The animal form moves at twice the vampire’s
speed, does two additional dice of bite damage,
and reduces difficulties to resist losing balance by two.

Michele sees Dunstan stiffen and transforms into a beast. Standing as a tall jackal with a hard, forked and spiked tail, with severe, pointed ears and a long
snout. He is black as the deepest night with accents of red.

Storyteller Shadow:
Using 8 blood- 4 blood to transform reflexively, 2 to strength and 2 to Dex. See below as the forms gives another +2 to Str, Dex, and Stamina. Currently my Str is 9, Dex is 8 and Stamina is 7.
Also add 2 dice to bite damage.

so if someone "hold" their action as they do not want to reveal themselves then do they go at the end of the round or they can intercept anytime after their original turn and the end of the round?

Michele looks at the coterie. "Apologies my friends.
Then Michele starts walking slowly and calmly away from the coterie and closer to Sir Dunstan and his cousin.

Storyteller Shadow:
Will utilize 8 blood and bring Str-5 Dex- 4 Stamina-5

"It has become quite apparent that we will not reach an agreement. I came here for Sir Dunstan and my cousin so if you others wish to leave, now is the time. You will not get this leniency from me again.

Storyteller Shadow:
Utilize 6th dot of Presence- Passion to inspire fear of me. Not on one person but the crowd.
Man + Expression Dif 7- will use 1 willpower to also get 1 additional guaranteed success.

"Sir Dunstan, if you truly mean what you say then let your side appear and I will ask the others with me to appear also. If we are to work out an agreement then we should all be heard as well as seen. What say you?"

Michele drops his obsfucate.

“Sir Dunstan, let us look at the long view here and do as the other suggest and speak to Lord Bion. Even though an Elder he can be spoken to. “
Michele pauses and looks to his cousin. “Forgive me as I did what was best for Venice and the survival of my house. With what Sir Dunstan has done and changed you we can figure out how this can all work.”

"Being on the Great Council does have some privileges. I know where it is." Michele stands up and heading towards the door that the Ghouls left to get Arcadius or Isaac.

"Well this is certainly not good..." His face grimaced "We certainly need to deal with this immediately before all is lost. we should call Isaac and Arcadius back as their 2 ghouls have access to the Doge and to that prison I am sure. sigh

Venice by Night - Sunday - April 6, 1309
Narses Haven on Sant'Erasmo

Michele pauses a moment and begins, “Arcadius led me down the intial stairs and unlocks a door. The door opened to a metal ladder that leads down perhaps 20'.
A single flickering candle alights on a round table as I set foot in the underground room, which the stairs deposits you in the center of this room. Around the circular table are four seats, their design quite old.
Around the circular room which is about 15' are what appears to be doors but are actually “portals” that Narses used the shadows to transport himself to other parts of the city that were not know to Arcadius.
There were statues in the spaces between the portals that were very old from antiquity and range from Greek and Persian and Egyptian to styles that I didn't recognize.
There were seven such portals and seven such statues.”

Michele pauses then continues, “Yes we need to find a way to track Dunstan down but I can think of no easy way. I had not met him so I cant even try to summon us to him. I am sure the knights do not know where he lay at night. Perhaps some of these ghouls can help us during the day but time is fleeing to fast. Does anyone have any ideas?
