<br />
A few days later, the Prince of Reno was hosting a party. Many of the Kindred who attended the funeral also attended this party; other Kindred arrived in Reno specifically for this Saturday night shindig.<br />

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.<br />

Mouse denied the accusation, but the Prince withdrew his protection and told him to leave him domain. Mouse refused. The Prince kindly gave him ten minutes to depart, but Mouse was defiant and refused to leave.<br />
Finally, acting Scourge Samuel approached Mouse and told him to leave. Mouse was vulgar in his refusal and took aggressive steps toward the Prince. Samuel extended his arm and blocked Mouse's path. Mouse threatened Samuel and Samuel responded by shoving him back with a magical push of energy.<br />
Mouse drew his pistol and began firing at Samuel. Oliver, Joe, and the Prince himself jumped to Samuel's aid. Anthony jumped to defend Mouse, but not engage the Tower kindred. After blows and shots were exchanged, the Prince used a combination of Dominate and Presence to chase the miscreant away. The Prince announced that Mouse was unwelcome is his domain for trying to get the Sheriff destroyed and ignoring the domains sovereignty.<br />
Anthony met with the Prince and tried to plead on Mouse's behalf, but the Prince refused to change his banishment order. The Prince made it clear that he was not upset with the Anarchs, only Mouse.<br />
Further political conversations continued, but the sun was soon upon them and they retired for the evening.<br />

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.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Mr. Sampson reluctantly followed, to keep her from getting into trouble.<br />
Debate continued, with the only conclusion that, while this was most likely a trap, it should not be ignored. Plans were discussed for sneaking into the building and catchinf the cultists by surprise. Mr. Giovanni sent a spirit to spy on them and Prince Sterling looked in on them from the astral. They found that there were six cultists and one staked vampire in the building. There were a few refrigerators and coolers filled with bags of blood also.<br />
Sheriff Anastazie insisted that destroying the blood be everyone's top priority, but everyone else was more concerned with the cultists. When Mr. Sampson returned, with Mercedes in tow, he agreed to hide everyone, in preparation for the assault.<br />
Mr. Sampson raised a fog, to hide everyone and used his mastery of obfuscate to hide a group, as well.<br />
Oliver, Joe, and William went to set up a parameter and gather some information. When the rest of the group arrived, Mr. Giovanni, his ghoul, and Prince Sterling went around back to cover that escape route.<br />
There was some discussion about how to get into the building, but Joe grew impatient and opened the front door. All Hell broke loose after that, cultists burst into flames, grew claws, or just started shooting. Flames erupted and zombies crashed through the windows. It was absolute pandemonium.<br />

When the dust and ash settled, there were wounded members of the city, but the cultists were dead and their hideout was burned to the ground. Joe had been beat into torpor, but Oliver assisted in reviving her. Everyone retreated to tend to their wounds. William took the staked vampire back to the Tremere Chantry.<br />

Oliver humbly stepped down with no complaint, or comment. The Prince then named Maltheal as his new Seneschal.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />

Prince Sterling talked with many of the cities kindred to get an idea of what happened two weeks ago. He was informed that Sheriff Anastazie would not be present that evening. So, he assigned Hugo the Tremere to the position temporarily.<br />

<br />
The Prince declared a Blood Hunt of the Anarch Rex, for conspiring with the infernalist cult. Unfortunately for the court, a gaggle of Anarchs came to visit, including Baron Riya, and began arguing about a trial and whatnot, but Prince Sterling ignored such nonsense.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>One of the Anarchs hit it off with Mercedes and they decided to go on a double date, while the court was arguing about what do about Rex teaming up with the Anarch Seth, who attacked Joe a few months ago, and the inferalist cult.<br />
When Mercedes and the Anarch went to go on their date, they got jumped by a group of four cultists. They quickly captured Mercedes and the Anarch used obfuscate to hide. The cultists loaded Mercedes into a van and the Anarch jumped in after them. While traveling, the Anarch alerted his friends, who informed the Prince. When one of the cultists offered Mercedes a contract to sign, the Anarch revealed himself and snatched it.<br />
Once the Prince heard that the unaligned Mercedes and an Anarch had been captured by the cults, he was quick to ask his Primogen and other court officials if they should bother with rescuing them. They agreed that this might lead to discovering something useful about the cult, so he ordered the Sheriff to take a group and track them down.<br />
Tracking them down was not too complicated and a large fight ensued. The cultists were quick to reveal their infernal powers and the vampires responded by revealing their powers of the blood. Hugo, Sammy, and William left the fight to respond to the Masquerade breaches, by removing electronic devices and erasing memories of witnesses.<br />
One of cultists fled, two were killed, and one captured. The captured infernalist was bound in iron chains and taken to one of Anarch Anthony's holdings. No new information was gained from the conflict.<br />

He was attacked by a group of hunters, while out looking for some blood. Sammy fled from the hunters and used supernatural concealment to hide his and his zombie henchmen's presence from the mortals.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Sammy then used the powers of the blood to fly up, above the hunters to get an idea of how many there were. He spotted one with a camera, watching from an alley. He flew down, and slew him.<br />
The other hunters heard the commotion and went to investigate. They were met by the zombie henchmen and a fight ensued. The hunters managed to destroy of the zombies, before fleeing due to their wounds.<br />
Sammy attempted to follow them, but he needed blood to avoid his Beast from taking over, so he was only able to follow them to a condemned building, but he didn't know what was inside, so he let them escape. For now.<br />
Meanwhile, Anastazie was having problems back at Elysium. It seems the potion she was forced to drink my Stanley was addictive and she was going through withdrawals. She had received a package during the week that she suspected was more of the addictive blood and fought herself to not open it. She brought it to Elysium and reluctantly handed it off to Matheal, who touched it and saw the last person who handled it, a guy in a lab coat.He handed to blood off to the Tremere.<br />
A Nosferatu arrived at Elysium, representing someone called "The Spider." He tried to assist in tracking down the hunters, but was unsuccessful.<br />
A new Malkavian had come to Elysium and everyone was interested in her. She was the star of the night as everyone wanted to know more, and cause problems, for her. All was fine, but Seneschal Oliver decided to use a power of the blood to tease her. This shocked everyone, as they were on Elysium ground. The Prince was absent, so Maltheal warned Oliver against such foolishness.<br />
Disgruntled, everyone departed Elysium for their havens.<br />

After a short meeting with the Primogen, Prince Sterling declared it Elysium. The Prince then made sure all of the information that was gathered by the cult was handed over to the Sheriff for investigation.<br />
The Sheriff began organizing a group to hunt down the cultists, but Sammy got tired of waiting and gathered to Tremere together. He requested that the be allowed to hunt down Eric Larson, a known member of the Illuminates of the New Dawn. The Prince agreed and they departed.<br />
The Tremere allowed one of their own to leave the Chantry, his name is Hugo. He joined the hunt for Larson.<br />
The Tremere went to the last known location of Larson, an open air mall called The Shops at Riverwoods. William began searching the traffic and mall security cameras. They located Eric just an hour ago leaving the mall and followed his path.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Meanwhile, the Sheriff gathered together a posse consisting of Joe, the Anarch Rex, and a visiting Giovanni. They set out to locate cultists and started near Geneva Steel. They located a spirit that claimed to have information, but wanted the man who murdered him killed before he would tell them anything. Rex volunteered to take care of that problem and set off.<br />
The Tremere, meanwhile, were following Eric's tracks using Thaumaturgy. The tracks led into a funeral home and back out again. They chose to follow the tracks down the street and not into the funeral home. They got back into their vehicle and drove slowly, so William could follow the tracks. Hugo contacted his police contacts and had them put an APB out on the truck Eric was in.<br />
Rex broke into the old people's house and caused a commotion while murdering them. To cover up the crime, he set the house of fire and fled down the street.<br />
The Sheriff and her posse asked the spirit questions, but he actually knew very little. They continued to search the neighborhood around Geneva Steel and follow vague clues. Finally, they left and went to search around the The Shops at Riverwoods.<br />
The Tremere caught up with Eric and another individual in a truck, they had gotten pulled over by the police and were being questioned. Hugo called off the police and they Tremere surprise attacked the two men. The one they did not know burst into green flames, when he was grappled by Oliver. Sammy, William, and Hugo attacked Eric and subdued him. Oliver killed the other man, whose body burned away into nothing. They then fled the scene and tied up Eric.<br />
The Sheriff and her posse tracked Eric to the funeral home and went inside. They were confronted with a couple of guards, whom they killed. In the basement, they found a pentagram and depictions of demons, as well as another guard. This guard had flaming hands and put up a good fight, but was not match for the kindred.<br />

The Tremere delivered Eric to the Prince. Prince Miles was so impressed, he awarded the Tremere status within his city. They then began interrogating him, but the sun was soon to rising, so the Prince took Eric into his custody and planned to interrogate him the following night.<br />
Due to the sun rising, the Sheriff and her posse left the funeral home, after cleaning up the bodies, and returned to their havens.<br />

The Prince declared that it was not Elysium. A few notable kindred of the Ivory Tower joined the city, Dr. Butcher of clan Nosferatu, Leon Schmidt of clan Ventrue, and Chantelle of clan Toreador. Passing through was a Vizier named Kasi. Prince Sterling had the pleasure of hosting Baron Riya of Salt Lake City and Amaia. There was also an unaligned kindred who joined the gathering, Mercedes, a young kindred of clan Ventrue.<br />
The Prince called court to order and informed everyone of Masquerade breaches in Tucson and Colorado Springs. While those cities are not extremely close, the attention of hunters may have been turned to their corner of the world, so it is imperative that the Masquerade be strictly enforced at all times. Even the smallest slip up could prove disastrous. Everyone understood and agreed.<br />

Talk turned to the Anarch situation and the Baron suggested that she and Miles speak privately. The Baron took Amaia with her and Prince Sterling took Seneschal Oliver and Master Harpy William. The group excused themselves and went into a meeting room. Tensions were high, but no one lost control of their beasts.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The meeting was due to the following letter, delivered to Baron Riya on October 7, 2017:<br />
<br />
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Lily of the Valley_Personal_Use;">"</span></span><span style="font-family: Lily of the Valley_Personal_Use;"><span style="font-size: large;">To
Riya, Anarch Baron of Salt Lake City,</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Lily of the Valley_Personal_Use;"><span style="font-size: large;">The
purpose of this letter is to inform you of the attacks by Anarchs on
kindred loyal to the Ivory Tower and my response.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Lily of the Valley_Personal_Use;"><span style="font-size: large;">Twice
in the month of September, Anarchs attacked members of the court
without provocation. Both of the Anarchs were vouched for by Anthony.
It is important to state that while Anthony vouched for the Anarchs,
he was the only Anarch to stand up against his own when they attacked
the kindred of the Ivory Tower. He is a respected and valuable member
of your city.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Lily of the Valley_Personal_Use;"><span style="font-size: large;">As
you know, it is my job to keep my domain and all kindred who reside
there safe from harm, so I must decree that the number of Anarchs
that will be permitted in the domain of Utah County at any one time
will be two. One Ambassador and one assistant. You, as the Baron of
Salt Lake City are exempt from this restriction.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Lily of the Valley_Personal_Use;"><span style="font-size: large;">With
time, I hope our domains can regain the trust that has been lost.
Perhaps after a number of years, if the Anarchs can show that they
are able to control themselves, we will expand this number. I hope
that day arrives with haste.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Lily of the Valley_Personal_Use;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sincerely,</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Lily of the Valley_Personal_Use;"><span style="font-size: large;">Prince
Miles Sterling"</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
The Baron accused Prince Sterling of deteriorating the relationship between the kindred of Salt Lake and Utah County. Prince Sterling countered that with the attacks on his populace from two different Anarchs on two different occasions was causing the deterioration of the relationship between our two territories. The Prince told the Anarchs that having only two Anarchs in the city would be safer and that passing through on highway 15 was exempt from the restriction.<br />
The Baron suggested that the kindred of Utah County would need to alert her of their coming into the city and the Prince agreed, after all that follows the Tradition of Hospitality. He requested that travel into and out of Salt Lake International Airport be exempt. The Baron reluctantly agreed. Prince Sterling did make a concession that if an Anarch contacted that Prince in advance of the meeting and permission was given, the two Anarch limit could be waived. This seemed to calm tensions and the meeting ended with everyone involved in agreement.<br />
In the main room of the clubhouse, everyone was getting to know each other and talking about the cult problems in the county. Sammy and Mercedes were not getting along and Leon was agreeing with Sammy, that Mercedes was acting like a "Mewling Sow," or M-S. Leon dominated Mercedes to look into the cult's facebook group. She messaged several members, whom she thought were attractive.<br />
When the Prince, Seneschal, and Harpy rejoined the group, they were informed about what Mercedes was doing. The Prince had to be informed about what facebook was and what it was used for. Sheriff Anastazie arrived and informed the Prince that she was investigating possible cult activity near Lehi. She was continuing to look into the situation and the Prince wishes her good luck. Miles placed Seneschal Oliver in charge and departed to handle other business.<br />
In the meantime, Mercedes and one the cultists arranged a date that evening. Everyone was excited to track the cultist and arranged to have Joe accompany Mercedes and the cultist, David Hampton, would bring a friend.<br />
They met at a nearby Starbucks, where Anastazie, Kasi, Anarch Rex, Oliver, Mercedes and Joe were waiting. Everyone lounged around and waited for Mercedes and Joe to leave with their dates and then followed them. They drove to The Peach, a popular nightclub that used to be Elysium, before violence violated it. Inside they danced and Mercedes was getting very close to David<br />

They stepped outside to talk and a make-out session ensued, with the other kindred watching. With all of the people outside, Anastazie whispered to Mercedes to ask David about the cult. Mercedes reluctantly agreed and used her dominate to ask David about the cult. David admitted to being in a cult called the Illuminates of the New Dawn and is seeking to become and immortal. Before he could say anything else, Rex got him in a choke hold and strangled him unconscious. They threw him in the back of his jeep and drove away.<br />
Meanwhile, Joe and Kasi were interrogating David's friend, Tommy. They were asking about the cult, while in the nightclub, and it was soon very obvious that Tommy knew nothing. They two women lead Tommy into a dark corner and knocked him unconscious. <br />
They zip tied him Rex sat on him. The drove to a abandoned store near Geneva Steel and tied David to a chair. They had Mercedes interrogate him with dominate and he explained that he drank magic potions, which were given to him by a witch. While he was doing this, he kept trying to use a supernatural power, that they discovered later altered people's emotions. Rex grew angry at his continued attempts to alter their emotions and began choking David and lightly scratching his throat with his claws.<br />
David panicked and it was difficult to get anymore information out of him that evening. Joe knocked out David and had Oliver take him into custody for interrogation at a later date.<br />
With the sun rising soon, everyone retreated to their havens.<br />

There were also a gaggle of Anarchs. Before the Primogen could officially begin the meeting, Prince Oliver announced that he was calling a blood hunt against Rainbow for breaching the Masquerade. There was some doubt about his motives and the Primogen moved to remove Prince Oliver from power. Primogen Dieter, Primogen Maltheal, Primogen Tark, and Primogen Anastazie used their combined status to strip Oliver of his praxis.<br />
Reluctantly, Miles Stepped forward and claimed praxis. Elder Maltheal of clan Toreador was the first to support him. The other Primogen followed and Miles chose not to uphold the blood hunt on Rainbow. Miles moved quickly to establish his court. He named Oliver of clan Tremere his Seneschal, Joe of clan Brujah his Keeper of Elysium, and William of clan Tremere Sheriff. William declined the office. Miles named Anastazia Sheriff instead.<br />

The new prince went around soothing tempers and asking for solidarity among the Camarilla kindred. Everyone agreed that for the good of the Tower, they would put the past behind them.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>A new unaligned vampire arrived and he introduced himself as Ty. He knew the Traditions and agreed to abide by them, so Prince Miles agreed to let him stay for the night. Ty began talking to Anastazie and William about the cult problem, because he had been attacked while coming into town. Anastazie named Tark her deputy, they took Ty with them to investigate.<br />
There were also a bunch of visiting Anarchs, some of which were new to the area. They were welcomed, because Anarch Anthony vouched for them. The Anarchs generally talked among themselves, occasionally involving the kindred of the Camarilla.<br />
Ty lead Tark and Anastazie to an alley, where he was attacked. Anastazie found a trail of blood leading into a side building. Tark had a look around, but found nothing of consequence. Together, they followed the blood trail into an apartment. They split up and began searching, Ty staying with Tark. Anastazie opened the bedroom door and was confronted by a group of armed men. One of them she recognized and he was still wearing an ugly brown suit. He welcomed her and she turned to run.<br />

Ty dread gazed Tark and sent him running, while the group of men engaged Anastazie. Out of nowhere, Eric appeard and attacked Anastazie as well. Anastazie turned again to push past Stanley and jump out of the window, but Stanley called for everyone to stop fighting and Anastazie to surrender, promising she would not be harmed any further. She felt magically compelled to stop fighting and give herself up.<br />
As Tark was fleeing, he called William and Joe to inform them of what was going on. Back at the apartment, Stanley handed Anastazie a small jar of blood and dominated her to drink it. She did. Stanley then told his group that they were done, that she would come to them. They left and Anastazie slowly walked out a few minutes later.<br />
When the cavalry arrived, it included Oliver, Joe, Tark, and William. Anastazie told them what had happened. Fearing the worst, William suggested they stake her. They agreed, Anastazie reluctantly, and she was staked by William. William arranged to have her body taken to the Tremere Chantry for testing.<br />
Then they all returned to the penthouse to inform the Prince about what happened. While Tark was explaining things, Joe was reminding the Anarchs to behave themselves. At this point, one of the new Anarchs, Seth, shouted about being sick of her rules and brutally attacked the Keeper. This caught everyone by surprise.<br />
Oliver, Rainbow, William, Tark, and Anarch Anthony jumped up to defend Joe, but she was still knocked into torpor. The rest of the Anarchs did nothing. Oliver was able to revive Joe using blood magic, but the Anarch Seth jumped out of a window, while on fire, and fell in the pool below.<br />
Prince Sterling called for a blood hunt against Anarch Seth and commanded all the ancilla and neonate kindred of his city to keep vigilant patrol of their territory in the nights to come. With the sun soon rising, everyone returned to their havens.<br />

Anastazia gathered gathered together a group to find Eric, whom her ghoul had tracked to the Winchester Bar and Grill in eastern Provo. She took Dieter, Joe, and two kindred who were newly arrived to the city, and left her own salon to find him.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>At the salon, a ghost arrived and began harassing Rainbow. He accused her of killing him and was being a general nuisance. They tried various ways of driving him off with no success. Rainbow admitted she may have killed him, as she kills a lot of people in order to see visions of the future.<br />
The Winchester seemed to be pretty popular on Saturday. The parking lot was nearly full, a few people were outside smoking, and there were other people coming and going. The kindred spent a few minutes planning and decided to send in Michael, because he was new to the city and Eric would not know him, and Anastazia would follow in obfuscate.<br />
Inside, Michael wondered through the crowd, blending in and looking for Eric. Mortals parted without noticing to allow Anastazia through. They did not find him in the public areas, so Anastazia decided to check the kitchen and basement. She did not have any luck in the kitchen, so she began desending the staircase into the basement.<br />
Meanwhile, Joe became impatient and went inside. She noticed a man move behind her and pull a gun from his waistband. She quickly smacked the gun from his hand and he yelled about her pulling a gun. Just as everyone turned to see the commotion, Joe punched the man in the face and yelled about him cheating on her. The crowd was confused about what was going on, so Joe grabbed the man and dragged him outside.<br />
As Anastazia descended the staircase, she caught a glimpse of a man walking past with a blood red rode on. She quickly sent a text to the group, letting them know where she was and that she might need their help. Michael bribed the kitchen staff to let him downstairs. Dieter was outback with Mae, who was the other kindred new to the city, and they decided the best course of action would be to remove the rear security door from it's hinges and hope no one notices.<br />

They took a few minutes removing the door and they set it aside. The kitchen staff stared perplexed at a man in a tuxedo and a hippy lady, who had just removed their security door. It took them a few moments to recover and a man who worked there demanded to know what they were doing. At first they ignored him, but when he wouldn't go away, they threatened him. He backed off and they continued downstairs.<br />
While the door was being removed, Joe was punching the man out front and yelling about child support. When he went limp, she dragged him to the car, zipped tied his limbs and threw him in the trunk. She them went inside with the others. The kitchen staff tried to stop her, but she shoved them aside.<br />
The basement was full of shelves of booze and the to the left was three doors. One was labeled as an office, the other was a restroom, and the last was unlabeled. They checked the three rooms, one was an alter with ankh imagery, the other was a restroom, and the last was an office with a man inside. He was on the phone and said that they had found him, before hanging up.<br />
Michael assaulted him and showed his nature as something unusual, but instead of being frightened, the man was intrigued. He told them him name was Jeremy and he was part of a group of people who are seeking immortality, which he knows the group is. He tells them that he knows of magic elixirs that grant immortality and magic powers. He asked them why the immortals don't share their gift was others. The kindred laughed at him.<br />
They took him and started to leave, but red and blue flashing lights were visible from outside. Mae turned into a wolf and loped out. Anastazia used obfuscate to escape. Michael smeared himself with blood, tore his shirt, and threw Jeremy over his shoulder. He then ran out, screaming about the dangerous people inside, the police were fooled and sent him to the paramedics. Dieter and Joe looked at each other and were unsure of what to do.<br />
Back at the parlor, the ghost went to the mortal rave and began wreaking havoc. Now that the ghost had manifested, the Tremere lit him on fire and drove him back to the Shadowlands.<br />
Anastazia called her police contacts and convinced them to take a bribe in exchange for the other two kindred. They negotiated terms and then Anastazia informed Dieter and Joe to them themselves be arrested. They complied, were arrested and then released a mile away. Anastazia paid the bribe.<br />
Jeremy told them that Eric was heading to Geneva Steel, so the group started heading that way. They contacted William and let him know what was going on and he decided to meet them at the steel mill. When they all arrived, Michael and Mae went to scout for Eric, but had no luck finding him. William interrogated Jeremy and learned that there was a facebook group for people seeking immortality, which had two hundred fifty six members. William handed Jeremy over to Dieter to deal with and everyone parted ways. Dieter drove Jeremy to a secluded area and killed him.<br />
At the parlor, Caleb the Anarch arrived to scene of horror. They ghost had killed a few people and the kindred were busy covering it up with copious amounts of drugs. Caleb was a little freaked out at the sign of all the carnage and some hunters showed up, posing as dead bodies. Rainbow tricked Caleb into killing one of the mortal hunters, which Caleb normally abhors. After the incident, Rainbow and Oliver began mocking Caleb for abandoning his morals, which caused him to frenzy and attack the Prince. He was chased off and the Camarilla elders laughed at Caleb's perceived weakness.<br />
Miles heard about the incident at the Winchester and called Joe. Miles informed them that he would cover it up with the media, but requested a minor boon from all of those involved for the inconvenience. Joe and Anastazia agreed, Michael and Mae refused, and Dieter wanted to talk to Miles the following night to make arrangements to pay him for his inconvenience. Miles agreed to the meeting, but labeled Michael and Mae vulgar for disrespecting the domain and the members of it. He contacted his media contacts and greatly downplayed the incident as a bar fight that got out of hand.<br />
The sun was close to rising, so everyone retreated to their havens.<br />

On the way to the salon, Belfrii spotted a dog that she thought you make a nice pet and she thought it was the same one from her vision last week. She slowly approached it and tried to collar it. The dog turned into a man with claws and Belfrii swore.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Belfrii tried to run, but Eric appeared out of nowhere and began attacking her with a spear. She did not last long against the assault and was staked. Eric and the other man dumped her into the back of a car and drove away.<br />
Rainbow began wondering where he childe might be. She was late to the salon. She called her a few times, but was not receiving an answer. She turned to Turk, a neonate who had newly arrived to the city, and told him that he needed to find her. Wishing to impress an elder of his new city, he agreed.<br />
Turk recruited Sien to help him and Rainbow asked William to assist as well. Sheriff Joe went along, as is her job. They left in Turk's rental and proceeded to the last location of Belfrii's cell phone, which William provided.<br />
Turk parked a couple blocks away and he and Shien went to investigate. They spotted Sir Teacup in the gutter and picked him up. They looked around a bit more, but did not find any other clues.<br />
They returned to William, who was waiting in the SUV and showed him Sir Teacup. William noticed tiny droplets of blood on his fur. He tasted it and, using blood sorcery, knew Belfii was in torpor and had no blood currently in her body.<br />
The searched the nearby buildings with no success. William then told them that he could track her and they followed Williams directions to an antique shop. William led them to the rear of the building and down into a basement entrance.<br />
<br />

<br />
Joe disabled the security camera and the door lock. Upon entering, they found a darkened room filled with benches and candles. On a table in the center was Belfrii, still staked.<br />
They searched the room and found a drug lab in an adjacent room. Joe and Turk took some of the drugs. William and Shien noticed ankh imagery on a few surfaces. William checked out the security camera footage and was disappointed that most of the cultists were wearing hoods the hid their faces. He did see Eric carrying a large amount of blood out of the basement. They picked up Belfrii and returned her to the meeting hall.<br />
Upon their return, Belfrii was brought two young men to feed on, as they unstaked her. She was prevented from killing them. With her childe safely returned, Rainbow decided to divinate the future with Hope. Hope went first, feeding on the drugged man and began seeing images. He told of a handsome staked man being forced to drink the blood of a beautiful red-haired woman. Then Rainbow disemboweled the man and fished through his intestines. She saw a vision of Zane worshiping the red-haired woman and realized that Zane was the man in Hope's vision as well. She left some younger kindred to clean up the mess.<br />
Rainbow told the Prince and court what she had seen and he decided to have Zane brought to him, worried that what Rainbow saw was true. Anastazia called Zane and met him down in Provo, where we was investigating disappearances among the kine. Anastazia brought him in and warned him to be careful.<br />
As Zane came in, he noticed Sheriff Joe move behind him and she was armed. He activated his Majesty and informed the Prince that he was appearing as ordered. The Prince politely questioned him and told him of the visions. Zane proclaimed innocence and ignorance. The Prince suggested that no kindred be left alone in the city, because of the cult. Everyone agreed, some more readily than others. Zane and Anastazia paired up for protection.<br />
Small talk continued for a bit, then William took Zane aside to speak with him. Upon conclusion of their discussion, Zane had lost track of Anastazia and believed she had gone outside. Zane rushed to find her. Upon William's return to the meeting hall, Anastazia noticed that Zane was not with him. William told her that Zane was looking for her. She called Zane and told him where she was.<br />
He did not return, so Anastazia and Joe went to find him. They located his car two blocks away and found his phone had been discarded in a sewer drain. They also noticed a strong smell of bleach in his car. Anastazia started following some fresh tire tracks, but the sun was close to rising. They retreated to their havens, determined to find him the following night.<br />

All presented themselves properly and were acknowledged.<br />
The witch problem was soon brought up and the kindred had a difficult time coming up with a plan. After much discussion, they decide that Anastazia, Tristan, Dieter, Belfrii and Sir Teacup, and William will go to the sewer entrance and try to find more information about the stolen bodies. Upon entering the stinking sewer, Anastazia noticed some boot prints that were slightly different from the normal workman boots and followed them.<br />
While the group sloshed through the sewers, a lively debate started in Elysium about what the kindred miss most about being human. Many answers were discussed; food, sex, but what a majority of them missed most was being able to be in sunlight. Then a suggestion was made that humanity is overrated and nothing about it should be missed.<br />

After many twists and turns, the group in the sewer could hear squeaks and skittering in front of them. A horde of rats came into view. Anastazia charged forward, as did Tristan, but only after William handed him a knife. Anastazia tore two of the rats in half and Tristan killed one with the knife. Dieter shot fire from his fingertips, which ignited a small pocket of methane. The resulting flash of fire was not large enough to damage anyone, but it was enough to frighten Belfrii. Out of reflex, Belfrii used her dementation on the first person she saw, which was Anastazia.<br />

Back at Elysium, the discussion was getting heated as the group was polarized. One group believed that humanity and morality where mortal concepts and did not apply to the kindred. The other group thought that humanity was a fundamental concept of the Masquerade and mortal played a major role in it. Shouting matches began between the two group, with one group being called callous and the other naive.<br />
The rats continued to attack the sewer delvers. Tristan was being badly injured and in a panic Belfrii fled down the tunnel. Anastazia was having a difficult time telling the difference between fantasy and reality, as Dieter calmly executed the vermin with fire. William had fallen back, content on allowing the others to fight off the horde. As Belfrii ran, she bumped into a man in front of her. He made a comment about her appearance and then began ruthlessly stabbing her in the stomach.<br />
At Elysium, the groups debated frenzy and they could all agree the seeing someone in frenzy, or frenzying oneself was not a pleasant experience. Sheriff Joe claimed to have never frenzied in her one hundred fifty year existence, despite being Brujah. Jaret stated that such a thing was impossible and accused Sheriff Joe of being a spy. He did not say for whom.<br />
Belfrii ran back to the group, as they finished off the last of the rat horde. She told them what had happened and they looked for her assailant, but could not locate him. William climbed out the sewer and the rest followed him. They all hurried to places where they could change clothes and bathe. Belfrii began ranting about a vision she had, about a sick dog in an alley that needed her help. William and Dieter went back to Elysium, while Belfrii, Tristan, and Anastazia chose to go check out Eric's trailer.<br />
Jaret continued his rant about the Brujah and demanded her blood be tested to prove that she was Brujah. Joe grew upset and stormed out of Elysium. Prince Oliver agreed to the elder Ventrue's demand that she be tested. Upon William returning to Elysium, he was ordered by the Prince to go to Joe's haven and test her.<br />
The alley next to the trailer park looked just like the one in Belfrii's vision. They went to investigate, but only found a disheveled bum sleeping on the ground. They woke him and demanded to know about the dog. The bum didn't know much, but had seen dogs wondering through the alley from time to time. He also mentioned that they often went to the trailer park also. Anastazia followed some dog tracks to Eric's trailer and broke into it.<br />
William went to Joe's haven and when he returned to Elysium, he told the Prince that he had tested her and she was Brujah. Jaret apologized and offered a minor boon as recompense. Everyone agreed that the matter was closed, but slights against kindred are not so easily forgotten.<br />

<br />
Eric's trailer was empty of occupants or animals, but Anastazia followed the dog tracks back out of the trailer and back to the alley. The bum was gone, so she and Belfrii began tracking him. Tristan stayed at Eric's and began rummaging through his belongings. He found some interesting notebooks was strange, undecipherable writings. He took them. Tristan turned as someone entered the trailer and was surprised to see a muscular, scruffy looking man. The man said something about Tristan being predictable and began stabbing him in the stomach.<br />
Tristan fled and ran to Anastazia and Belfrii. Upon reaching them, he explained what had happened. They arrived back at Eric's trailer, but he was gone. Anastazia wanted to track him down, but it was dangerously close to sunrise. They all returned to Elysium and made their report to the Prince and Seneschal. With no announcements or directives, Elysium was ended and everyone retreated to their havens.<br />

Rainbow introduced her childe, Belfrii and her companion, Sir Teacup. Another Toreador joined the city named Tristan and an Assamite named Sien joined as well. They were all welcomed and acknoledged by Prince Oliver. Some Anarchs came to visit and they were welcomed as well. Introductions were made and everyone seemed to be getting along.<br />

Business was handled quickly and everyone split into various groups to discuss the goings on in the area, specifically the feeling of malaise that had fallen upon the region. The investigating kindred noticed that religious buildings seemed to be less directly affected, but have a stronger feeling around their perimeters. It was also discovered that some bodies had been stolen from their graves and the grave robbers tracked to the same run down neighborhood as the perpetrators who killed a man two weeks ago. Seeing that this was unlikely a coincidence, the Prince ordered the Sheriff to investigate. Meanwhile, Belfrii was attempting to speak to ghosts in a variety of ways and warned Miles that "Winter is coming."<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The Sheriff took William, Anastazie, Tristan, Sien, and an Anarch with her to investigate the graveyard where the bodies were taken. Anastazie and Sien looked over the graves, while Obfuscating, and concluded that the bodies where not extracted by supernatural power, but shovels and hard work. The coffins remained in the graves, only the bodies were taken. They also found muddy tire tracks nearby. The Anarch entranced and began questioning one of the police officers, while William went to observe the traffic cameras with his technomancy.<br />
The Anarch convinced the officer to transfer the video camera footage from the nearby stop light to his thumb drive. William gathered information about an old Ford truck that obviously was used to haul away the bodies. He was frustrated by the lack of a front license plate. The footage the Anarch received was of the men arriving and he was able to get pictures of their faces. Using the pictures, William broke into an scanned the DMV driver license database using his technomancy. It took him awhile, but he was able to locate the two men. Eric and Bill, they were brothers. He wrote down their Pleasant Grove addresses and then went to the graves to investigate himself. Tristan distracted the police officers while William failed to find anything of use.<br />
They first drove to Eric's home, the older brother. He lived in a double-wide that was dark and Tristan could hear a dog inside walking around. The group then left to go to Bill's home, the younger brother. His house was small with a heavily neglected yard, it was obvious the television was on inside. Anastazie and Sien walked up to the house, Sien was obfuscated, and knocked. A disheveled man opened the door and Anastazie told him she was looking for Bill. The disheveled man did not know where Bill was, but did confirm he lived there.<br />

The disheveled man introduced himself as Kevin and invited Anastazie inside. Sien slipped inside behind her. The house was neglected, like the yard, and it was obvious that bachelors lived there. Anastazie chatted with Kevin, while Sien went into the back bedrooms and began searching through one of them, the less disheveled one. Inside she found a loaded .38 Special and a survival knife. She kept the knife.<br />
After awhile, a truck pulled into the driveway, but it was not the truck they were looking for. However, Bill got out and started walking toward the house. The vampires outside got into position and waited. Bill opened the door and Anastazie greeted him. He yelped in surprise and turned to run. Both Anastazie and Sien tried to grab him, but ended up getting in each others way. Tristan tried to grab him in the driveway, but Bill dodged him as well. It was looking good for Bill's getaway, until he ran into Joe, who slammed him to the ground.<br />
Joe threw him to Anastazie's SUV. Bill pulled out a butane lighter and lit it. He then put it in Joe's face and looked worried when nothing happened. The Anarch was inside the SUV and entranced Bill, telling him that he would protect him and that everything was fine. Bill calmed down as Joe backed off and it did seem that the Anarch was protecting him. The Anarch questioned his new friend, trying to figure out what he knew. Bill admitted to stealing the bodies for money. He took the bodies to a witch that his brother knew, who had given him a magical potion that allowed him to see vampires. That was why he ran. The witch had also told him about vampires and their dislike of fire.<br />
When the questioning was complete, they knocked out Bill, tied him up, and put him in the back of the SUV.<br />
They erased Kevin's memory and put him in bed. William took the opportunity to look through Bill's room and found some half written rituals that seemed accurate. They returned to Eric's house, but it still appeared he was not home. They then looked around the drop off site, where Bill and Eric had dropped off the bodies to the witches acolytes. It was a service entrance to the sewer system. They did not have much time to investigate, as the sun was rising shortly. Everyone returned to their havens and planned to continue the investigation at a later date.<br />

The Prince did not request council and negotiated everything himself. The resulting map was whisked away by the Anarchs, before any other court member could view it.<br />
A Camarilla Ventrue arrived in the city, Jaret Byar. He is a well reputed kindred, extremely loyal to the Ivory Tower.<br />
Miles received a call from his Retainer and went upstairs with the Keeper of Elysium, Zane Crockett. They discovered a man's corpse inside the restroom. His neck had been punctured and most of his blood had been drained.<br />

They retained the witnesses for questioning and requested assistance from the Seneschal, who is well trained in the disciplines of Auspex and Thamaturgy. William was able to summon an image of the perpetrators into his mind and transfer the image into his phone. He then shared that image with the Prince and court. He even showed it to the Anarchs, just in case the perpetrators where from that sect.<br />
From the image, it could be determined that one of the perpetrators held down the victim, while the other bit his neck and fed. William was able to change the memories of the mortals, so they did not remember the victim. Security footage from outside the restroom was able to further identify the perpetrators and observe which way they fled.<br />
After sharing this information with the Prince, he declared a blood hunt on the two perpetrators for breaking the Masquerade. He commanded all loyal Camarilla kindred to engage in the hunt. The Anarchs tagged along.<br />
Using his influence with the police, Zane was able to use the traffic camera system to track the perpetrators to a run down neighborhood in Provo. Everyone piled into their vehicles and drove there and then William used a ritual which allowed him to follow the perpetrators into a three story apartment building.<br />
Nearly everyone went inside and William pointed out the exact ground level door the perpetrators had passed through. Then, William and Miles went around back and found the apartment's windows has been painted black. Stealthfully, they opened the window and saw the two perpetrators wearing black cloaks and chanting. Around them were many candles and on the blood was a runic circle, seemingly painted in blood.<br />

Out in the hall, the other kindred attempted to get the perpetrators to leave by pulling the fire alarm, unfortunately, it was non-operative. Anastazie grew impatient and kicked the door open. Zane rushed inside and pulled his side arm. He ordered the men on the ground. Anastazie rushed in as well, brandishing he claws. One of the perpetrators tried to run, but Anastazie grabbed him and would not let him flee. The other, with a gun to his head, dropped to his knees and professed his innocence.<br />
The Prince and Dieter could see that the runic circle was just gibberish and not tied to the occult.<br />
As they were being bound and the apartment searched, where William discovered a prescription for Prozac, a police siren began wailing close by. Everyone scrambled, but Zane quickly realized that it was the siren on his car. The siren had drawn a crowd of onlookers.<br />
As they loaded the two captives into Zane's trunk, Jaret was quick to erase as many witnesses minds as possible. Everyone then got into their cars and drove away. They found a abandoned store and took the captives inside. They all gathered in a circle, with their captives in the middle. They questioned the two men and discovered that they were mortals who wanted to be vampires. They were trying to summon a demon that would grant them their wish. All the vampires laughed at them.<br />
The discussion turned to what to do with them. They were a threat to the masquerade and could bring mortal hunters to the city. The Prince simply wanted them dead and everyone was having difficulty coming up with an alternative. The Anarchs opposed killing them, but could not come up with an alternative either. Jaret requested a major boon of the Prince to erase the men's memories and for his actions in protecting the masquerade that evening. The Prince refused. Finally Dieter decided that he would kill them.<br />
As Dieter walked toward them with his knife out, William used his Thamaturgy to push him back. He had come up with a plan at the last moment. He would erase the memories of the night's events and then have them committed in the Provo Asylum. The Prince agreed. Miles thought it was a good idea also and contacted Rainbow, whom he knew to have influence at the Asylum. Rainbow agreed to have the men committed and even agreed to make them more insane to pass them off.<br />
Miles informed everyone of Rainbow's decision and William got to work, erasing their memories of the night's events. With the night's chaos contained, everyone departed for their havens.<br />

David "Sammy" Sampson, a Tremere; Zane, a Toreador; and Anastazie. Some Anarchs arrived and informed the Prince that they had taken Salt Lake City and pushed the Sabbat to Ogden. The Anarchs expected a big show, but the Camarilla vampires already knew what had happened. In fact, the Camarilla vampires had provided covert assistance, because the Anarchs had refused overt assistance. Deflated, the Anarch Ambassador left the meeting.<br />
After some meeting and greeting, another Camarilla vampire arrived. He was remarkably different from the brooding vampires. He was loud, kind, and smiling. He also handed out business cards. His name was Stanley Adams.<br />

He attempted to get the populace to buy blood from him, 100% guaranteed virgin, but no one was interested. Upon his departing, Anastazie followed him and threatened him to not step over the line into her business. They came to an agreement and departed with an understanding.<br />
The meeting officially ended and Rainbow and Miles departed together. Rainbow decided to have a little fun and challenge the populace to a contest to test them. She hid in a location in the domain and Miles had his ghoul report that whomever found them would receive a minor boon from Rainbow. Despite giving her jacket and head kerchief to women who resembled her, the Seneschal was able to find them after some difficulty.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14583306371871351233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7845850594494748602.post-68836374462962146322017-06-11T07:41:00.002-07:002017-06-11T07:42:51.353-07:001984Summer, 1984. Everyone met in the basement of Mile's nightclub, previously called The Star Palace, but now called The Star. The Anarchs arrived in force, but did not seek to challenge Prince Oliver's leadership. They informed him of their plan to take Salt Lake City from the Sabbat and the Prince agreed to assist them. There was also an unaligned kindred who came to visit the city. Two new Camarilla kindred also introduced themselves, Joe, a Brujah and Edwad, a Tremere.<br />

Zeth, the unaligned kindred, asked Prince Oliver to extend protection to him and in turn, he would offer a major boon to the Prince. The Prince agreed. A passionate debate started between the Anarchs and Ivory Tower kindred about freedom, order, and the nature of Cainite existence. Although tempers flared a bit, everyone respected Elysium.<br />
Prince Oliver and William discussed naming a Sheriff and asked Joe to complete a task to prove her worth, if she wanted the position. He told her to go to Salt Lake City and bring back a member of the Sabbat, alive. Joe agreed and departed with William, who would be an observer.<br />
Edwad was causing minor commotion, insulting the Anarchs and demanding everyone follow him, because he was "The Chosen One." The Prince and Harpy thought he was funny and quite possibly ingested some contaminated blood, so he was tolerated. Zeth and Anthony, an Anarch, played chess. Prince Oliver and Harpy Miles bet a trivial boon on the outcome. Anthony and Miles both lost.<br />
Joe returned with a Sabbat member in tow. The was tied up and began spouting anti-Camarilla propaganda. He was bleeding badly and his blood was obviously flowing, he was a ghoul. Prince Oliver offered the ghoul to the Anarchs as a gift to represent their alliance. Upon hearing this, the ghoul attempted to escape, but failed. Rahab, an Anarch, crushed the ghouls chest, which killed him.<br />
Miles immediately protested because the ghouls blood was ruining his carpet, but Rex, another Anarch, promised to clean it up. Edwad rummaged through the corpse's pockets and found only slimy used contraceptive devices. Rainbow suggested Edwad wash his hands. Edwad rubbed his hands on the Harpy's shirt to clean them. Miles warned him and Edwad removed himself from the room in a hurry. Edwad went upstairs to change.<br />
Rainbow removed the body and took it somewhere secret. There, she used it to divine the future. She reported the finding to the court, after disposing of the body with her allies in the coroner's office. She told them of a red star at the start of the new millennium that would appear in the sky and that would be the time to strike the Sabbat and take Salt Lake City. Everyone was pleased to hear the prophecy and plans were tentatively discussed. The Anarchs played poker for trivial boons, which Riya easily won. Rainbow was teaching one of the young Anarchs about the Camarilla, for which Miles granted her loyal.<br />
A short time later, a disturbance at the entrance of the club drew Miles, Joe, and Oliver upstairs. A gang was looking for their lost member, which they tracked to the club. Some heated words were exchanged and Edwad walked out to see what was going on. Edwad got punched in the back of the head and ran back inside. While everyone was arguing outside about the missing gang member, who everyone figured out was the ghoul Joe and kidnapped, Edwad told the Anarchs that anyone who helped fight the gang outside would receive a major boon from him. The Anarchs rushed outside. More words were exchanged, then Riya began singing, which seemed to entrance two of the gang members. Fighting then began, with everyone ganging up on the Sabbat vampires. The Sabbat vampires were quickly destroyed and the Masquerade was protected by a sudden power outage.<br />
For her bravery and willingness to destroy Sabbat members, Joe was granted courageous by Prince Oliver.<br />

Due to the population of the Orem-Provo area increasing beyond one hundred thousand and continuing to grow and a Sabbat presence in Salt Lake City, the Ivory Tower seemingly decided to send a group of Cainites to the area.<br />
A group of kindred were given letters, summoning them to a secret meeting in a peach orchard seemingly from their Ivory Tower betters. Everyone stood around and stared at each other a moment, then Miles Sterling began introducing himself and talking to everyone. A table with food a candles was quickly discovered by Moonbeam, who began partaking of the food, which she swore was blood in food form. No one else was daring enough to eat the blood food, so they simply sat and chatted quietly.<br />

Suddenly, a fancy dressed gentleman walked into the clearing. He told them he had sent the letters to summon them there. He told them of the darkness in Salt Lake City and how important it was to stop it from spreading. He implored them to work together and to consider the grove Elysium. No one disagreed with him and he departed as quickly as he'd arrived.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Everyone agreed that something had to be done about the Sabbat and establishing a domain would be prudent. Miles declared praxis and Eva immediately insulted him. Miles and Eva traded some words and Eva ordered her ghoul to punch him. The ghoul did as commanded, but quickly backed down when Miles glared at him menacingly.<br />
When challenged by one of the Tremere, Miles stated that he had a history of military experience in nearly every American military encounter. In addition, he was an experienced diplomat and much more fashionable than everyone present. Oliver agreed that those were all good qualities, but the ability to lead and delegate as well. Miles was reluctant to admit, but did so, that he preferred to handle things himself. However, it appeared that no one else was willing to claim praxis.<br />
Eva continued to insult Miles and Miles ignored her. Miles convinced Oliver to claim praxis and challenge him. Oliver agreed and claim praxis himself. After some debate between the two, Miles withdrew his claim and Oliver was pronounced Prince. The populace quickly agreed that Miles should be the Harpy. Miles humbly accepted the position.<br />
The Prince was quick to speak to Eva about breaking Elysium after they had all agreed. Eva understood and apologized to Miles and offered him a minor boon. Miles accepted and told her to forget about the incident.<br />
Some Anarch vampires had been called to the meeting and arrived late. Prince Oliver welcomed them in the battle against the Sabbat and began planning their removal from Salt Lake City. Miles asked the Prince if he could build a nightclub on the spot of Elysium and call it the Star Palace in his honor. The Prince agreed and planning continued.<br />

The following game will be on June 10, 2017 and take place in Orem in the year 1984. The last historical game will be on June 24 and set in Orem in the year 2002. It is our hope that these historical games will allow the characters to have some historical context and bring the characters closer together.<br />
Orem will be a Camarilla City. Orem will consist of mainly Camarilla player characters, one of whom will openly claim praxis, and a few Anarchs and Independent Alliance player characters. There will be no player characters who openly claim allegiance to the Sabbat. Openly unaligned player characters may reside in Orem, but will be rare.<br />
<br />
Salt Lake City, UT<br />
Salt Lake City is starting its own venue. Salt Lake City will be an Anarch Movement City. Salt Lake City will consist of mainly Anarch player characters who one of whom will openly claim praxis and a small number of openly unaligned characters. It will be rare for an openly Camarilla player character to reside in an Anarch City and one that does so is often an emissary of some type. There will be no openly aligned Sabbat player characters in the city. Independent Alliance player characters will be permitted, though they too are often emissaries. More information about the Salt Lake City domain will be available in the next few weeks.

Jeffery went around Orem to see if he could find traces of the others. What he found was a mass sacrifice to the statue. About five hundred people willingly sacrificed themselves. Moments later, the statue collapsed into a pile of rubble.<br />
Back at the warehouse, a seven foot tall monstrous biped walked into the building. It declared that it was Bishop McCleary and he knew that Trent had been looking for him. Trent stood up and began to speak, but the Bishop attacked, forcing Trent into a confrontation.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Trent and Bobby engaged the horrifying McCleary and held their own pretty well, but it was a losing battle. McCleary rushed outside to feed and had a back-up Gangrel Antitribu waiting to assist him. Trent was already badly wounded and they knew that another combatant would spell their doom. Luckily, a group of Anarchs arrived, including Freddy and an unknown Brujah. Freddy engaged the Gangrel Antitribu and the Brujah Anarch attacked the Bishop. Mia also arrived and started shooting McCleary with little effect.<br />
Trent fell and the Bishop turned on the Anarch Brujah. Mia grabbed Trent and started to run, but McCleary broke away from the Brujah and attacked Trent's torpored body. Mia attempted to defend Trent against the brute, but was not a physical match for him. Trent was killed.<br />

The Bishop was very physically damaged, so he fled the scene. His Gangrel Antitribu lacky was killed by Freddy and the Brujah Anarch.<br />
Mia claimed praxis, just as Jeffery returned. Jeffery opposed Mia, but relented rather quickly when Mia asked him nicely to do so. Jeffery told them that the end was near and their time was short. Everyone brushed him off, because of his insanity and the fact that Camarilla vampires are forbidden to believe in Gehenna. Jeffery also reported on the statue situation and everyone knew that feeding would be much more difficult for quite some time.<br />
Suddenly, the Bishop appeared behind the Brujah Anarch and attacked him. The Anarch fell and McCleary ripped off his head. McCleary then attacked Bobby and destroyed him as well. Freddy turned into a half-woman, half-wolf monster and attacked McCleary. Another loyal Camarilla Gangrel, Gaston, arrived and engaged the Bishop as well. Jeffery used his feeble mental attacked to engage the Bishop as well. McCleary hurt Freddy badly and then destroyed Gaston. He was about to tear apart Freddy as well, when Freddy grabbed a stake a drove it into the Bishop's chest. Bishop McCleary fell and Freddy quickly ripped his head off. Bishop McCleary was finally dead.<br />
Mia ordered that the Bishop's ashes to be gathered up and delivered to Thorn.<br />
As they began to carry out her orders, Jeffery was proved correct. Caine arrived and killed them all.<br />
