Under Seige: the Current Chronicle set just before Halloween 2000

This city setting and base characters were created in 1995. The current chronicle, while going on today, is set in late October 2000.

The initial player characters, Dominico Garcia, James Moran, Cody and Vince Black met at the Meat Grinder. This is a bar just outside of downtown. It is a haven for Brujah and a meeting place for other Kindred who don't mind the Brujah's company. Needless to say, it's not in a great part of town and the crowds can be nasty.
   While socializing, the first three characters met Vince for the first time. As they discovered, he has moved to Nashville from New Orleans because his natural daughter is a student at Vanderbilt University here. It just so happens that his daughter, Jennifer, was at the club with Dom, a former VU student himself.
   Dom, Cody and Jennifer leave together, but before they get far, they recognize a guy named Keith in a parked car. They walk up to say hello, but after a brief conversation, the driver of Keith's car peels out down the street, and both Keith and a guy in the back seat open fire on the Grinder with automatic rifles.
   The crowd outside screams and disperses - those who were not injured or killed - and the car squeels away. Before getting away, the car is stopped when Vince picks himself off the pavement and shoots through the car's back window, killing the driver. Vince had come outside the bar with James intending to tail Dom, Cody and his daughter, before the shooting changed things.
   Bull, a large mohawk-wearing Brujah ran to the car, which smashed into a light pole after the driver was shot. Keith got away on foot, but the guy in the back seat was captured, drug into the Grinder's basement and "questioned" by the characters and the Brujah Primogen, Dr. David Oswald.
   As the group discovered, the prisoner is a mortal and a fledgling member of the Vipers, the smallest of Nashville's three street gangs. It is also the only gang not believed to be run by Kindred behind the scenes. As it turns out, Keith is Kindred, and a member of a secretive and elusive group known as The Executioners. This mysterious group becomes a hot topic of conversation, as the Brujah fear that a Kindred group could be behind the drive-by shooting, as well as controlling the Vipers.
