Rather than writing a narrative about what happened, these were my prep notes for this session with edits for what decision the PCs actually did and most things happened pretty much this way. The players answered the Camarilla summons first.
5PM – Sunset, it is Tuesday December 15th, 2020. Christmas Eve approaches
Mollie spots fliers for an art exhibit, pretentious black and white photos of nude models advertising an exhibition called “The Living Flesh.” It links to a website with a partial address. They can hack the timer on the website or research (academics) to find the partial match with a difficulty 5 extended check. (30 minutes per check)
Clova arrives – tells them about a gathering of the anarchs. Faye is called away to the succubus club as there is also a gathering of them.
The Cam - 7pm –
Clue: As people are ready to hear announcements, amid rumours of Jackson’s disappearance, Aluc Romas de Leon, approaches Barbara, he is a fellow gallery owner and patron of the arts, though primarily 3d art. He hasn’t seen but has heard about your actions on the radio and in Elysium. He’s been curious about the exhibition. He’s only heard the buzz but not seen the poster. If asked, he thinks a war with the Anarchs is misguided. He believes in maintaining a rule of independence while still upholding the traditions. He’s close with Alexa and Damen and would be happy to take the job of Prince if something happened to Jackson. Aluc will support the PCs with toughs if he hears about the zombie attack.
Clue: Bronwyn asks Barbara why she’s not feeding on blood packs anymore. It’s just as well she’s been locked out of accessing his previous source for blood packs. There’s three long term early onset dementia patients at a Southshore nursing home, she can’t access anymore. That’s where they were getting blood. The whole home has been reserved for just these three patients. Everyone else got moved. They got toughs guarding the place. The last three licks didn’t come back. (only one patient is present, the other two are in different homes.”
Julliet assumes temporary leadership of the local camarilla to conduct her “audit.” Demands the presence of Prince Jackson and Malcom. She also is angry about the airport. Gangrel Primogen. Rosa Hernandez is livid about the werewolves breaking the truce. Wants help tracking them down and exterminating them. Balthasar suggests a war and has a few Cam on his side. Outs Bobby as an anarch and claims to have a list of all the cities anarchs.
Julliet announces any anarchs have one hour to leave and then the bloodhunt for the anarch center begins. Thin-bloods can gain the good grace of the Cam if they assist with the bloodhunt and are allowed license to diablerize any anarch or sabbat.
The Anarchs - 9pm - at the anarch bar, Ghengis calls for war as the Justicar is provocation. Gerard and Duncan want to go all in as well. Because of the justicar. The Anarch free state of LA has sent two heavy hitters of their own, Smiling Jack and Alexandria the “new kid” who helped take LA back from the cam in the early 2000s. If the PCs commit to helping with the war on the Cam, they will help with the zombie problem.
Clue: Abraham, now an Anarch. Wish he still had a Grimoire that went missing when the chantry was raided. He does not trust Malcolm. He knows the book is still intact and has a tracker on it. He can smell it if he's with a few blocks away. He can empower the party to do that as well. The book is mostly useless to blood magic users but it may provide insights on
Asks Barbara is she knew anything about the nursing home in south shore. He has been completely shut out of his previous sources. He dimly remembers her being a bagger.
If the PCs don’t go to the Succubus Club, they find out from Faye that Julliet has declared war on the Anarchs and called for a bloodhunt on them. She will look the other way if diablerie is commit against any anarchs. Bobby has been killed citing Erin and Barbara as suspects.
10pm - Ghengis announces he has the prince as a hostage, courtesy of Malcom who has been an anarch agent all along. The hostage could be leverage. This could be an opportunity for social combat.
Midnight – Attack on the church from plant zombies, the players arrive to find their haven burning and decide to retreat.
