Richard Tremere (Mark)
Member of Clan Tremere (a new or exotic bloodline)
Is a sorcerer, practices rituals
He has a powerful talisman (forearm computer), Helps him translate languages
Is the leader of this cabal of vampires
The others held back while he spoke to me, The others seem to follow his lead
The others gave him their telephones, He seems the most active speaker
Has granted me hospitality, Though I had to invite myself
Prefers to let Kasil speak to the kine
He is not interested in me in an erotic sense. (I botched a Seduction roll on him--)
Kasiel Brujah (Lance)
Member of the Clan Brujah
Perhaps Richard's bodyguard, He was with Richard when they came in, The others arrived later
Prefers to interact with kine more than kindred
Introduced me to Jha Rhul Music on the TV (apparently a common form of magic)
Smith Brujah (Ray)
Member of the Clan Brujah
Obviously a warrior by his size and build
Has knives concealed on his person (lent me a forearm knife), Cooperative, helpful
Richard tells me he is a maker of many things, Doesn't talk much, Stoic, simple warrior
Jake Sabre Brujah (Rob)

Strange clothing (military fatigues are unfamiliar), Indicative of his station or profession
Can turn into a bat! (shape changing is a new and bizarre power to her)
Jason Gangrel (Dave)
Member of the Clan Gangrel (new or exotic bloodline)
Bestial in aspect, Not very social (like the Nosferatu)
Can make his eyes glow! Can turn into a wolf! Can turn into a bat! Obfuscate
Global Observations
I am on an unknown continent, far far from home
It has been 3000 years since I went to torpor in my obelisk
No one so far knows any of the languages I know
The Blood Servant (Matteus) knows "Hello" in Hebrew
There are no more slaves, but there are servants
Servants on a personal level, not as a class
Vampires do not rule here
The society is a democracy, They will likely not accept the inherent authority of my royalty
Vampires are in hiding from humanity
Humanity, ironically, hunts vampires
It is important to hide and not be known as a vampire
This seems like utter nonsense, but must be true from Richard telling
There is a civil war between vampire factions
The Camarilla, The faction of my new acquaintances
Tremere ?, Toreador, Ventrue, Brujah, Gangrel ?, Nosferatu
The Sabbat, The enemies of my acquaintances, Control this province with 30 + members!
Tremere?, Toreador, Ventrue, Brujah, Gangrel ?, Nosferatu
Tzimizce ?, Lasombra ?, Serpents of the Light ?
Harbingers of Skulls ?, Salubri ?, Kiasyd ?
Some crisis occurred this evening, Someone important to my acquaintances is missing

Much effort has been made to find the missing vampire, Richard's childe. Tiahmet still does not know who is missing. Since a train whistle could be heard from Richard's scrying, I kibitzed that if they cross referenced the time the whistle was heard, the posted train schedules, and known railroad crossings, they could pinpoint the location to search for the suitable building.
Part of the prior efforts to find the missing vampire included the coterie going to the Nosferatu to beat the information out of them.
Tiahmet wasn't going to dig that because she likes the Nosferatu clan.
The coterie was taking a risk.
The Nosferatu were on their home turf, home court advantage is significant.
Unknown travel ways.
Unknown numbers of Nosferatu.
Unknown animal allies.
Unknown booby traps, high and low tech (picture the Camarilla haven, but with decades
prepare and refine)
The Nosferatu had numerical advantage
Not enough of the coterie had sufficient Auspex to see through Obfuscate
If Richard falls, the coterie is blind and outnumbered in unfamiliar territory
Richard may be getting desperate.
Tiahmet went into the sewers, in formal wear, to intercede.
Avoiding any conflict with her friends and acquaintances would simplify her existence.
She met Kailien the Master of the Warren
Kailien speaks Arabic.
Kailien is polite, just as she expected.
Kailien doesn't seem to care about the Sabbat affairs on the surface.
Kailien denies having the missing vampire, says Miller has it.
Kailien doesn't like visitors, I am not welcome to enter.
Told Kailien I like to hang out at the Kai Oh Tee and In Dust Ree, so he could find me.
Told Kailien, Richard has a faulty memory (doesn't seem to remember my clan name).
I gave the Camarilla vampires information.
Kailien doesn't have her. Miller has her.
You are walking into an ambush. If we leave now, we can go in peace.
The Camarilla vampires ignored me and proceeded to provoke the Nosferatu.
They must be very confident of themselves. Is that the Overconfident flaw in Richard???
They (as players) may be itching for a fight.
(you might want to make sure everybody has a list of things to roll for in the next session)
I tried to point out that they had forced Kailien's hand, as a leader he couldn't just let them
walk in and out of his turf (he would look bad unless he profited in some way)
I figured you didn't want to start a major brawl right then so I tried to help defuse.
Either that or the Nos just can't trade with 4 or more archons face to face.
Tiahmet thinks the Camarilla vampires are foolish. Tiahmet was very frustrated.
Tiahmet went off to sulk.
Matteus pointed her in the direction of Kai Oh Tee and off she went.
If they weren't going to listen to her then she would go her own way.
She slaked her thirst (from boosted STA and Flesh of Marble) on the first poor slob she found.
Dead and violating the masquerade most probably.
She still has her card from David.
Needed to clean up, washed in a public fountain, left soiled clothes behind.
Naked, she was accosted by three would-be rapists.
She killed one, ate the second and boosted her stats, and let the third escape.
She took a jacket and their wallets (that's where the script money comes from)
A police officer tried to stop her (probably for her own safety).
She tried to intimidate him (lifting him off the ground by his belt).
She tried to bribe him (with the money from the wallets).
She tried to walk away. He followed.
She tore the door off the squad car, and fed on him till he passed out.
She took his pants, side arm, badge, and shotgun.
Another squad car showed up, she hid using Skin of the Chamelon.
The Camarilla vampires came and found her walking.
Matteus must have told them where she went, good servant.
(actually the tracking device in my armlet told them but I don't know that)
(Tia will keep that armlet because it was a gift from Smith Brujah)
They explained to her what the police are and that we shouldn't go asserting ourselves on them.
Others will come looking for her now.
Tiahmet does NOT like being told that she can't do things.
Tiahmet gave the guns and badge to Smith as a gift but he did not seem to appreciate them.
Tiahmet concluded they wanted her to hide, so she did in a large boulder in Highland Park.
They are supposed to come get her early tomorrow evening.
