Shared Entombment
Animalism 1, Protean 3
Description: Most commonly known among the Anda bloodline of the Mongols -- where it was called Itugen's Embrace -- this Discipline technique enables a vampire to meld a ghoul or childe with him into the safe slumber of the earth. Pity the mortal who beholds a mounted Anda warrior riding out of the very soil at dusk.
System: The effects of this power are indistinguishable from the Protean power Interred in the Earth, save that the vampire's player must spend an additional blood point to bring a ghoul or vampire under the earth with him. An interred ghoul can be human or animal, but no larger than a horse. Only a vampire who traces her ancestry through the character or is bound to him by the blood oath (or the vinculi of the Vaulderie) can be so interred. Both creatures must enter the earth at the same time, both feel the same effects, and both leave the earth when the Cainite who possesses this ability chooses.
Another version of this power allows the character to pull a corpse (or any inanimate item the size of a corpse or smaller) into the ground with her. This version requires Potence 1 rather than Animalism 1, but is in all other ways identical. The character need not bring the corpse to the surface with her when next she rises.
