V5: Alone

New V5 game!

Two old hand players, two I know but haven't GMed for.

Nothing much to report yet, we did Session Zero.

Little updates after cut

A Brujah campus activist.

A Malkavian history student.

A Toreador bar owner.

A Thin-Blood runaway.

Reuel: Anarch trash

Me: And proud!

A quiet first session of introductions - apart from the Thin-blood being hunted by an older vampire.

Emily the Thin-blood goes to Monica the Brujah for help because she knew her sire. She calls in Stephen the Malkavian and they take her to Dane the Toreador for support.

Dane finds that the older vampire is from out of town - though the local Ivory Tower don't particularly want to help, at least his sire will back the not-quite coterie. And Stephen finds that another Thin-blood has gone missing recently.

With help from Dane's sire, they find and search the missing Thin-blood's apartment. Stephen gets an image of a struggle, and a possible location.

"He's still alive?"

"Maybe."

And so, with a small amount of NPC backup, they go into a small boarded-up office to find the victim. Which naturally means bringing Emily straight to the elder trying to catch her. But not alone. And carrying kerosene.

A couple of weeks later... Monica and Emily are on campus when another student approaches. He knows Monica's a vampire (though he doesn't know about Emily...) and needs her help with something stalking the students...

The coterie find the monster and whatever it is, it's not Kindred. Some other kind of vampire? And one of the Prince's agents comes to question them about the news of attacks.

The agent is prepared to share information but wants the credit to herself if she helps bring the monster down. The coterie are fine with this, which she seems to find amusing. Monica and Stephen do some snooping, with the agent keeping an eye on Emily. She heard what happened. "Sure this thing isn't like you? "

Finding the... whatever it is... they manage to corner him/it. He looks almost human, but has black eyes with golden irises. They frighten him off with a show of numbers. He seems to understand their threats, though he doesn't respond. The Prince's agent tells them to call if they see something like that again. She doesn't explain what he was. The student who asked them for help confirms that he knows about vampires from a 'friend'. He says he knows not to talk...

Emily follows the student by day. He's working with a vampire with a haven nearby. A vampire who wants to bring the Prince down.

So Emily has a choice. She can throw in with someone she hardly knows, go to the Prince who would have let the elder kill her, or use her power to walk away during the day...

And there we end for now.
