You want me to tell you about Spider? I’m sure that you have heard all about him. Most have around here. Oh you want my take? Seriously?

Well I’m not going to tell you his secrets if that is what you are looking for. I am not even going to tell you that what you have heard isn’t true. It is all true more or less. The things he’s done, what he is…what he will do. All true but that isn’t the whole story of course. To try and say that all he his is foolish. Who among us is truly that one sided?

Maybe you are afraid that you will fall that far, maybe you fear the beast inside you so much that you think that you could never fall that far. You are lying to yourself if you think these things of course. The beast is in all of us that call ourselves kindred. We can all far so far that all remnants of humanity are forgotten.

Did he? Do you really care? Yes he is a monster but he is also very much a man and he is my love.

That is far more than you need to know.

Game: [Real time: 8-19-07...game time 6-27-05] again no Mark.

Ghost House Adventure: We travel from a portal that Renault already has set up not far from the chapter house and make our way through the twilight side of the city. It is overcast...though not in the regular world. We aren't sure of our direction so Cass uses her labyrinth communication to contact Father Willow and finds the way. They [Cass, Rick, Renault and Hal] move quickly through the city through building etc. Taking the straight route there. They are followed by ghosts. Rick notices that Hal's knife radiates strongly with ghostly energy, Hal doesn't seem that surprised. He comments that he's had it a while.

Talk about someone named sparrow, we also seem to see the ghost around Hal.

Rick brought his ghost boy and hand with him as well.

Cass has the orb. The orb seems to want her to implant it somewhere in her body...Cass does consider this, it would make things easier in a lot of ways as well as make it more difficult for someone else to steal it.

***************

We get to the House and talk with Father Willow and are let into the building. We go down straight away to find the seal. We go down more than one floor, there are secret passage ways, ritual rooms, dangerous ritual circles and finally the room with the seal in the floor. Ghosts of murdered children. Crying turns to maniacal laughter. Children's bones turn into a giant construct that guards the seal.

Cass works on draining/constraining the creature's energy while Rick battles it. Finally Rick destroys it but his ax is stuck in the seal and a crack is opened. If we pull/push the ax out then we risk opening the rift into the abyss (or whatever). The best thing seems to be to break the seal.

We plan to do this.

**************************

Rick goes out to feed on ghosts. Cass bled a lot for the other work so feeds from Renault (3) and Hal (2) so ends this bit at 9 vitae, 2 willpower and with 1 lethal wound.

Cass contacts Malcolm to let him know what we are doing.

xp: 5 plus 20 previous points =25

still need to finish this up next session...then onward to scion

Game today: [Real time: 8-12-07...game time 6-20-05 thru 6 25-05]no Mark again.

Rick calls Honcho to get him in on the take down of Tommy Nines
Cass Calls Andrew to invite him to the Solstice Celebration for the Following day.

Rick battles his doppelganger to take control of his new identity

Summer Solstice Ritual: [Cass, Eden and the Coven, Sarah, Andrew, Anton (in crows form0 Hal and the cult, Katya, Rick, Renault, Stag, Doretea
Michelle and Spider] Celebration, Ritual, blood, party and orgy. Music, Rick influences many toward the crone.

The Take-down of Tommy Nines: Rick, The werewolves, Cass, and Solomon. Cass lures out two thugs using dominate. Magical darkness, Snake spirit kicks ass and Cass taunts with thumb and Rick takes Tommy Nines out. One last thug jumps out of the window (crazy from werewolf nearness).

Rick gave us each 10 grand after the take-down (the money that was found split 6 ways)

xp: 3+6 (9) plus 11 previous points= 20

Ghost house adventure is next and then a bit of a break...

Game today [real time 8/05/07...game time 6/19/05] Mark didn't show up again.

Circle ritual for Sarah...dealt with the spirit, Cass did most of the talking to the spirit, Sarah was freaked out much of the time. Hal did much of the main ritual work and the BLS did the background chanting stuff. Rick and Stag were there as well as Eden and Anton. Cass got the spirit to agree to quarterly vengeance kills in it's name. Her vengeance spirit and Cass's snake spirit/cousin appear to be old friends.

Ritual aftermath...Sarah lures one of the terrorists to the city using the 4th level of Majesty. He and another show up obfuscated the next night. We lure them to the empty warehouse and Sarah kills the main guy in two blows and we capture the second guy and bring him back to the labyrinth dungeon to interrogate. We get information from him and then kill him.***

Rick's stuff...He was working on coils mostly.

***information from terrorist...that there are two cells, we got the location of one but not the other.
That they were planning to hit Boston in about a month, both Carthians and Invictus and make it so each would blame the other.
They are planning to look at Qeensport but doesn't seem to be on the immediate agenda that he knew of.

This information was passed onto the Carthian leader: Micheal O'Neil and to Cass's Invictus Grandsire Gregory

*************************************************************************

Out of Game we talked about advancing 5 years in game later one after we wrapped up current story lines. We all agreed that we liked this idea. I want to plan what I want to happen before then and what I want to happen during the 5 year in-between period. Also thinking about stories I can write for that period as well.

I need to come up with my new retainer soon...either a 2 or 3 dot retainer (probably just a 2 dot ordinary girl) Cass wants to be able to use her identity and have her help out with general tasks like shopping, make-up, etc. Simple things that an ordinary human could do I guess so a 2 dot retainer will work just fine I think. She will pick her from the outer circle of the cult. Someone very submissive, at least moderately attractive and youngish.


I have 11 xp at this point

[July 29, 2007 real time]

Cass is working with Sarah on the ritual, Anton has been invited and is in the city now. The feds are still looking for Rick. Cass is making plans for going into the spirit/shadow world with Renault, Rick and Hal sometime in the future.

Cass is working on finding someone in her blood cult to take under her wing and act as her personal assistant and "body double" [retainer].

It was a fairly low key and short session, Max was missing but Rick was there.

Interlude
Title: Interlude
words: 1,019
fandom: new world of darkness/vampire: the requiem

8 points spent on a 4 dot retainer/ghoul...Hal

hmmm...crazy, heroin addict/demon raising/devil worshiper with a thing for pain, yeah this is a good idea ;) Hey, at least now Cass has someone around who can read latin and will be loyal to her!

she has him move into her apartment so she can keep a better eye on him.

points spent on:

craft with specialties in homebrewing and painting under that skill.

paintings done so far...

In oil colors...

• "Hands"...two hands interlocked (spider's and hers) dark, red shadowing background. 3.5 hours and 14 successes 24x36 canvas


• "dream sphinx"...the crone as sphinx as in her dream...3 hours and 15 successes 30x40 canvas

she is also working on sketches of Devon to work into a painting later on.

The three plants she'll try first are the three successful ones she knows of...spider plant, the queen of the night and the devil's ivy (Rick's succeeded). They were started on Sept. 1 (will be ready to see if any become mandragora on dec 1).

They are all in Devon's room in the labyrinth...not too close to him.

The things Cass has done during the two weeks since last session:

Works with Peter a couple times a week
Got the first batch of blood mead started with Rick
Talked to Rick about starting a new band
A lot of meditation
Visited with Mary
Visited with Agartha
Gets ready for starting school soon


Cass starts dressing more and more romantic/gypsy less slutty unless she’s going out to clubs and then she dresses for clubbing. She’s dressing more like a college student (though a slightly goth/pagan college student) to get into the mood for returning to school. Cass is also exploring the local pagan community to get ideas and make contacts for creating her blood cult (herd).

Cass will probably set up the inner circle of her cult in her apartment so they are contained and easy to get to ….dark pagan/free love/commune from hell ;) All women? Women and men? Aim for both men and women, depending on what is available in the pagan community, who seems best for it. How many people?

Three bedroom condo/apartment…3-5 main members? (upper level that live there) and maybe others that come and go and know/are shown very little? Probably a total of 13 in the cult is what she’ll aim for. Out of the main members she will look for “the perfect” assistant/ghoul for her, someone that would work well for being groomed for the coven if they were ever embraced…as well as someone that would be very useful for cass and her needs.

Herd can also be used for $$$...reason to up resources maybe at some point as well as for buying points in contacts/allies/retainer eventually.

Cass has ordered a honda oddessy (delux model of course) with $39, 000 of her money and puts the rest of the money from the coins (11, 000) into her investments/savings (for future raising of resources maybe or to use in an emergency)

Only one of Cass’s 6 plants that she tried to make into Mandragora this time round made it and the rest perished. The Spider plant in the kitchen at Devon’s place is the one that survives…she moves it to her apartment at this point, since it is a hanging plant and fairly portable.

She starts plotting out her next Mandragora experiment to be done inside the labyrinth where Devon is sleeping. This was set to start the first of September so is already in motion when we pick up in game.

She chooses only three plants this time around…though one will be a larger (2 vitae) plant maybe. I’ll post what those plants are later.

Cass is looking at this with black inside and out, the touring model...top of the line. Of course we're talking close to $40,000

eta: but still not sure when or if she'll get this, she's just thinking about this, maybe for soon, maybe for later.

devil's ivy

vampire lily

Queen of the Night

Cass buys some new clothes...long-sleeved flowing shirts, more jeans, long-sleeved t-shirts...

has Tommy buy some brewing supplies and bottles for the blood mead experiment.

Cass also buys some lab supplies.

she also buys some school supplies (her class starts next month) notebooks, pens...whatever.

She also starts shopping around (online) for a minivan.

stuff to cover...

• visit to coven (already covered)


• work on trying to communicate with the snake spirit (meditation)


• start the blood mead experiment


• find out what plant(s) made it to mandragora


• plan out next mandragora experiment


• work with Peter at least once to get that going*


• talk with Spider about things in general and maybe feel him out about the ritual she created*


• talk to Agartha again*


• visit Mary to see what she notices what is new about her maybe see what she knows about the council of serpents and snake spirits in general*

*to play out a bit

I have 9 xp...I'm going to spend 7 on the first level of nightmare finally.

Future stuff to do...


we need to visit Boston again soon, need to talk to the crones there for the dragons again...visit Gregory probably, check in with contacts. (in game stuff)

work with Peter more (out of game)

The Anniversary of our embrace is coming up soon...Halloween is coming up shortly after that (and the anniversary of diablere a bit before that)

Confrontation with Cass's "grandmother".

In the Winter the Wolves will be coming, we should think about prepping for that. Can we get tranq guns liquid silver?/silver nitrate? Still have time for that.

visit with Salem Coven and teach them her ritual. (out of game)

Eventually Death's Shadow with be coming (order language books she can find on line).
