Letter from Phoenix

This letter was received by Prince Miles on 01/18/2017, concerning the kindred of Utah.

From the Desk of Pollux Xenos

Gangrel Primogen of Phoenix, Arizona

Dear Prince Miles Sterling,

I hope this letter finds you and your domain well. I am replying to your inquiry about the behavior of kindred from the enchanting state of Utah at our previous gathering. I am pleased to inform you that the Camarilla loyal kindred, from your domain of Utah County, were exceptional examples of decorum and civility while visiting Phoenix. Elder Malthael was particularly delightful in conversation.

Unfortunately, I wish I could say the same for the Anarchs who reside in your state, but I cannot. The Baron of Salt Lake City acted in the most unconscionable manner. She and her minions were most boorish and uncivilized. They spoke to me without proper decorum and attempted to destroy the reputation of the Gangrel of your domain, Anastazie. In addition, I overheard one of them, I later learned he was called Mouse, threaten to destroy her or find someone to do it on his behalf. In addition, they attempting to sow dissension in my very city against yours!

I'm must say that their behavior appalled me. I hope your associations with that group is fleeting, for association with them must be embarrassing, to say the least. I wish for the stability of your domain to last forever and that you may have swift dealings with the disrespectful Anarchs of Salt Lake City. May Your Nights Be Never-ending.

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me by letter, or call me at (602)555-1234. (OOC: Actually contact me by E-mail: pollux.xenos@gmail.com)

Your Friend,

Pollux Xenos

Primogen of Clan Gangrel

Problems with Anarchs

The gathering was small, but three Anarchs arrived into the domain of Utah County, Anthony, Tyr, and Mouse. In addition, the unaligned kindred who calls himself Hope came with them. Prince Sterling welcomed Anthony and Tyr. He made Hope pay two minor boons per two months of welcome, for Hope is a heretic. Hope agreed. Then, Prince Sterling told Mouse that he was told by three trusted sources that Mouse tried to have Sheriff Anastazie destroyed in Phoenix, AZ, when they both traveled there the previous week for a large gathering.

Now, it's War.

The patrols reported unusual activity at an abandoned Kmart. William recognized one of the people there as a cultist. Everyone gathered to discuss the possibility that this was a trap.

A leather clad, dual weilding trap.

In the meantime, Prince Sterling was admonishing Mercedes, for making dates with cultists and told her that she needed to obey the Traditions. Mercedes said that Prince Sterling was not her father and the Prince told her that he was a father to all in his domain. He placed her under the accounting of Mr. Sampson, the Tremere, as long as she remained in the city. She stormed out of the meeting, vowing to leave the city.

Action, Reaction

The night began on a somber note, as Prince Miles announced the removel and disgrace of Oliver, for his breaking of Elysium. Oliver humbly stepped down with no complaint, or comment. The Prince then named Maltheal as his new Seneschal.
While all of this was going on, Joe was on her way to the meeting, when she was attacked by two cultists. They were not shy about using their infernalist gifts. Joe beat one into submission rather quickly and the other grabbed his friend and fled. Joe continued to the meeting and reported on what had happened.
Anastazie was feeling fine, with no residual effects from the blood potion, so she was allowed to resume her duties as Sheriff. She took Joe and a new Toreador, to hunt the cultists. They left at once.
At the scene of the crime, they discovered the blood of one of the attackers and tracked it to their hideout. The three kindred scouted the perimeter and made sure they knew where the men where hiding. They kicked open the door to discover some sort of ritual going on, with the injured man laying on the ground, blood being poured into his mouth, while two others chanted something. Being surprised, the men did not have time to react. They were all knocked out, except one, whom was killed.
They tied up the unconscious men and looted their apartment. They were taken to the meeting place, a country club at a golf course, and placed inside the freezer. Preperations were being made to transport them, when someone smelled fire. Some kindred fled, but the ones who investigated discovered that the kitchen was blaze and the freezer was open. The locks had been melted from the inside. The men were nowhere to be found.

The next game will be January 6th, at the Orem, UT Dragon's Keep, 48 west 300 north, at 6pm. Join us.
