Summer Game - Session 1, 1942
The night started off with court being called by Thomas Moore in order to address the recent attacks by an unknown group of Gangrel. Because of these attacks, outside pressure had been put on the two largest covenants to formalize a government. The Ordo Dracul declared Praxis and placed Karishma as Prince. Despite some hushed conversations by the Gangrel in The City, the Ordo Dracul’s declaration of Praxis was met with little resistance. Though with the loss of Valentine (Josh) the decade before and now Johnny (Jennifer S.) recently leaving, the Carthians were in a much weakened position.
Following the Ordo Dracul’s proclamation, the new Prince replaced the old Sheriff, [Emily’s character], with a member of her own covenant, Freddy. In place of this loss of position, [Emily’s Character] was declared Keeper of Elyisum. Eileen Gentry of the Carthians was made Harpy soon after as well.
Following these events some of the Ordo Dracul followed up on the arrest and disappearance of one of their members. Their investigation turned up few leads except that the Bureau of Investigation (precursor to FBI) had some involvement, but not why.
Soon after returning to Elysium, the group heard noises coming from both the front and back of the art gallery. The vampires split into two groups, mostly by covenant, and investigated. The two groups found that the noises were armed men attempting to break into the art gallery. Following a brief combat, both groups took a single person prison for interrogation. Both groups found that the men were after a statue, the Onyx Bat, which was supposed to have some occult significance. Each group also got a different location from which the men were supposed to have originated.
The Carthian/Circle group investigated a warehouse downtown, but found an empty room that had been used recently. The Ordo had been given an address for a residential house. Once there they found that the place had been moved out of recently and that the furniture was mostly office and not residential. Via spirits touch they did manage to get a license plate number for a van.
