Part 28 - Leaves of Three: Episode 3



No way I'm giving this back to them.

<MuscleWizard> No, he seems to have hidden it.



A side note: you can go through that conversation an infinite amount of times, choosing whatever option you wish. The other option leads to the dialogue:

quote:

Coeterie: Yes, here it is.
Kazi: Excellent work, fledglings. Of course, it serves no purpose to stop what has been set in motion, the evening’s events will go as planned, up to a point. Before the incursion, Dominic will find his puny force destroyed, and with the domain’s rule in disarray, we shall be able to stroll into the area.
Coterie: And what of your promise to help clear our names?
Kazi: Don’t worry, young ones, your names will be renewed, during your rebirth as Sabbat!
But nothing happens except we supposedly lose the pact, even though we can still go through that conversation again. We still have to go through the sewers and what follows that.





Why the fuck can't I just smash down the door instead of going to the sewers? There's nothing stopping me except the door is locked.



There was an open doorway that looked like there should be something blocking my progress.



OK!




I don't know how to use this. I only know how to use powers and smash things with my giant useless water-filled muscles.



There was a conspicuously empty area.



There was a tome in the least-likely place it would be.



There was a generator that was operating perfectly and an army of Smashface's clones.



There were no bodies of water.



It looked like someone should be here, but there's nothing except for a bunch of rats I smashed.



Why would a hotel have a service entrance to the sewers?




Good thing I kept that blood pact.

<MuscleWizard> Good. Make sure she won’t be able to detect the ring.



Campbell's sleight-of-hand skills are coming in handy.



I guess this was the sight of the murder. Why would there be blood overtly smeared on the wall and door?



I WILL GET REVENGE




Lucinde looks like an innocent young woman, at least until one peers into her eyes. Within them, one might see an uncomfortable and monstrous intensity that promises death for any who gaze too long. She dresses appropriately for the 20th century, but prefers conservative styles such as business suits and casual eveningwear.* She always wears gloves* to conceal the ‘mark of the beast’, a trophy sigil given to Alastors. Lucinde’s role in this chronicle is one of Justicar, resolving the issues in NYC with the power of the Inner Circle. She refuses to be drawn into the squabble, and seek to set the hierarchy into place and return the situation to some sense of function. Having just dispensed with the child-Samedi Genina in San Francisco, she is weary from battle and the petty disputes between the clans.

<Lucinde> You obviously have something to present to this meeting? I will hear you out, first though, I would like the Seneschal to continue. He appeared to be about to mention something important?
How the fuck did someone so stupid become a justicar?
<Dominic> (shaky, looking at coterie) Ah.. yes. (Turns to Lucinde) As I was saying..new information has come to our attention. I regret to bring this forward, but I now have cause to believe that our own Prince was involved in the Regent’s murder…
<Michaela> What!? You treacherous snake!
<Arianna> I knew it! Lies are never hidden to the Toreador!
<Lucinde> Silence! Dominic, do you have proof for these accusations?
<Michaela> He has no proof! Lunatic wretch!
As Michaela rises and claws towards the Seneschal, the ring flies free from her gown and bounces onto the table in front of the Primogen. (This important detail is excluded from the actual chronicle.)



<Lucinde> Michaela, this proof has implicated you in the murder of the Regent. You are hereby removed of your position. By Camarilla law, your Seneschal is the Prince.
<Michaela> No! The blood is on Dominic’s hands as well!



<MuscleWizard> I've got proof. A pact with the Sabbat, signed in blood. Dominic’s treachery is even greater, as he planned to place the domain into their hands.
<Johnston> (works Tremere Taste For Blood ritual) This blood is from the Seneschal!
Enraged, the Seneschal is thrown to the floor by Heavy G. He’s knocked unconscious by a heavy blow.



<Heavy G> That’s for little-T…
<Lucinde> It appears we have need of a new Prince. I would ask that Mr. Schreck step from the shadows to rule the Five Boroughs…if there are no objections? (glares at Arianna). Fine. Mr. Schreck, I would assume your first duties would be to counter the plans that these young Kindred have exposed.
<Mr. Schreck> Yes, Lucinde. (pulls MuscleWizard aside) Congratulations on your astounding victory. Relish this, as most times those in power are not so easy to defeat. And why should I allow a Kindred with such a taste for toppling Princes survive within my domain?
<MuscleWizard> I've met your childe, Smashmouth, and know of your knowledge of Dominic’s plans to depose the Prince. The Nosferatu was full of information, how do you think I entered the offices? There's no way I could have got past a locked door!
<Mr. Schreck> Ah. Well, it seems that we have a Sabbat incursion to thwart. And I will need Kindred I can trust to lead the assault. (turns to the Primogen) I declare this Kindred free of the Blood Hunt, make this command known throughout the domain! Primogen of New York, rally your forces, tonight we deal the Sabbat a fatal blow!



As promised, here is the document Nihilistic released on this chronicle.

That's it for Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption.
