Brian's Goals and the Results

Goal 1 - Recast the "Necklace of Recall" and other routine rituals. Move the "Circle of Teleportation" to the Hidden Library.

Result 1 - Both are accomplished within a couple of weeks and without complication.

Goal 2 - After 3-4 weeks in Elysium,(including time working on above) will schedule a week + with Phineus to remove the Ugo curse.

Result 2 - During the third week of April, 2016, you travel to the 'Island of Shadows' via ritual and undergo a complicated series of rituals to remove the recently dubbed "Ugo Curse." You are unconscious in a dreamless state during the entirety of the process and awaken precisely one week later. Your memories have all been restored, all remnants of Ugo's memories have been expunged and though you recall being traumatized by them, you can only recall impressions or facts about the experience. You will find no residue of necromancy or thaumaturgy on your person from that time, though none of your rituals have been affected.

Goal 3 - I plan to wake both of my childer after the "Ugo Curse" is removed and instruct them as I go about my business. I do not plan to have many secrets from them during this time (I am not telling them secrets but I am allowing them to see what I am doing).

Result 3 - Awakening Aras Valdemaras requires the use of your thaumaturgic salve and he has a really impressive set of scars on his neck as a reminder of what vampiric combat entails. All that is required to awaken Jurgis Ąžuolas is blood, but he has a traumatic childhood ahead of him as he is completely unprepared for the extreme fits of temper that are the curse of the Brujah Clan.

Goal 4 - After the "Ugo Curse" is removed, start working towards being an Ashen Priest: including learning new language and getting info requested from Lord Camden.

Result 4 -

Goal 5 - Supervise rebuilding of new mansion, including a easily expandable underground section. I plan to remove proof of underground section (beyond simple wine cellar) from minds and plans after construction, I will plan accordingly when building.

Result 5 -

Goal 6 - Work on bank control, including finding a fitting Ghoul Candidate to manage this.

Result 6 -

Goal 7 - I am planning on making a haven in Iceland including getting permission from the ruler there. I would be very happy to have Jamie come with me if it fits in his plans and if he is ok with the connection with Prince.

Result 7 - This is more than a goal, its a story that must be played through.

Jamie's Goals and the Results

Goal 1 - Find out what happened to the agent who disappeared, free the agent who was captured and place him out of the country.

Result 1 -

Goal 2 - Rebuild spent resources: Recall necklace, blood jewelry, "blade of vitae infusion" runes and blood stores. Continue to study Dur'an'ki. Establish secure boltholes around the city, and create an alternate casting chamber somewhere on the east side of Sofia - enchanted with wards vs ghouls, vampires, and scrying.

Result 2 -

Goal 3 - Get rid of Ugo's curse. Sooner rather than later, though I understand that using Hand resources (IE going to the Naga Raja) will make it last longer. I'm willing to pay an extra boon for protection against future infection.

Result 3 -

Goal 4 - The University - rebuild the apartment building as a larger dorm available to student parents and school employees as well as (on a higher paying basis) general students who want to live next to campus rather than across town in Studenskigrad.

Result 4 -

Goal 5 - The business. Set up a mortal who can speak for it during the day: A CEO responsible to the board of directors which will be largely controlled by me. Set up 3 minor (for now) peripheral offices - 1 in southwest Germany, 1 in southern France (well away from Paris!), and 1 in South America... Rio or Buenos Aires, perhaps. Get a few researchers working on the next generation of innovations, and pirate a few consumer gizmos from the near future for quick cash.

Result 5 -

Goal 6 - Elysium - yes, this probably means down to once every week or two. Always look for opportunities to trade boons and the off chance of collecting a body relic.

Result 6 -

Goal 7 - Follow up on the True Brujah episode: Visit the sire, turn over the entorpored body, and use temporal scrying to ensure that no foul play was used in convincing him to submit to torpor. Stress to the sire that the two childer have been indescreet and become beholden to an Assamite sorcerer.

Result 7 - This is more than a goal, its a story that must be played through.

Goal 8 - The army thing. I've given the info my agents collected to the Ventrue Archon, but I think there is probably little I can do to stop them starting a war. If someone offers a real opportunity to stop it, I'll consider becoming involved.

Result 8 - This is more than a goal, its a story that must be played through.
