Harpy Report 1108

Harpy Ariana Donovan spreads this news.

Harpys Report 25 August 2011

To the Society of Sacramento:

Elysia seemed to have started out with everyone “Hot for Harpy” which seemingly continued through the evening. There was an out of town guest named MaryAnne who visited and spoke to the Herald with a word of caution about insurgents in San Francisco. MaryAnne was a child vampire who was accompanied by her Geisha ghoul. Anton Flores showed great disrespect for the curious visitors by choking the Envoy’s Ghoul for a slight condescending tone from MaryAnne.

Herald Martha Villiers asked that everyone depart for the evening sot hat she could address the officials of the Domain with an announcement. Anton departed before the announcement where Martha publicly states:

• "Well, that will be all from former Deputy Flores. Regardless of his many strengths; by his misconduct tonight he forfeited his role as Deputy. There will be other penalties to pay too, but I wish to sleep on them. I wish it to be known that - so long as they manifestly come in peace and whilst being mindful of security - Envoys and messengers are to be brought, immediately, to the presence of a Court official and treated with care. Let us avoid accusations of barbarity."

Status

• Alice Brown is now Respected by her fellow Daeva.
• Jonathan Mclean, Lance Rayner and Yuki Saito are now Known to their fellow Daeva.

Around Town

The Harpy and Herald spent time with many individuals around the Domain, earning more about current residence and their aspirations. Also seeking out some of the newer Neonates in some aspects helping them find a place for them to belong. Dillon Connery is now the Gangrel Priscus and Ariana Donovan is the knew Priscus of Lords. We also bid Ciara Maskelyne farewell as she pursues other endeavors. Also, Alice Brown is now helping manage Club Ember.

After a tip off from former Deputy Flores, the group consisting of Dr. Josephine Powell, Ethan Russell, Brenn Lawrence and Sidor Grigoriev, joined by Deputy Conner Greyson, headed into the sewers to seek out Sunshine and the Mole. They were hoping to retrieve information on where Dirge may be hiding, but instead found that Dirge was hiding beneath the city, along with the former Reeve, Arnold Culler. After a tense stand off, Conner began to interrogate both Culler and Dirge about their whereabouts, although all may not be as it seems...

On an assignment from Deputy Conner Greyson, a number of Kindred were to investigate an underground tunnel system that was thought to be where the drug Red was produced. So far, they have made their way through a set of tunnels to find an underground complex made out of old boxcars. It appears that there is a grow house for marijuana, but as of yet, there has not been anything found related to the Red.

Clan and Covenant Meetings

• The Circle of the Crone met.^[1]
• The Lancea Sanctum held Mass, and Bishop Anton Flores has not been seen since that night.^[2]
• The Nosferatu have convened.^[3]

Ordo Dracul

Amelita Cardoso brought Lance Rayner to meet Anasztaz Veres to inquire about joining the Ordo Dracul^[4], and after a brief discussion, Anastaz concluded the meeting. Lance later returned^[5] to the Ordo Dracul chapter house excited for the continuation, or beginning rather, of his initiation into the Ordo Dracul. As he arrived he was greeted by the Grand Wyrm and was asked to wait. So he complied and waited... and waited... and waited until suddenly, to the surprise of Mister Rayner the Law arrived.

Thanks to a well timed text message from “Anaztaz Veres” stating that the chapter house was under attack by a blond Kindred who is probably a member of the brood, both Conner Greyson, Deputy of the Domain, and Max Heinz, Reeve of the Domain were summoned to assist.

As they arrived they found Lance Rayner waiting... still, unknown that he is to play the part of patsy in this little exchange. After investigating the room the Mekhet found, thanks to the Spirit Touch, the remains of what appeared to be Anaztaz Veres. Before the investigation could continue, a fire was started and the three Kindred were badly injured, Mister Rayner and Deputy Greyson both succumbed to the Rötschreck; however, the multi-talented Reeve was able to over come the fear of flame.
