10/8/12 - Reliving the Matrix
After the issue with the faith lady, we discussed what to do about her. We felt that the best recourse would be to leave her where she is, and keep an eye on her in hopes that she "cures" herself of her delusions. At this point we decided that living in the hotel that the Tremere supplied, is not exactly safe. We need our own territory. Before we figure out which territory, I wanted to know if the "ritual" to detect thaumaturgy will work on a already cast ritual that is activated. To figure this out, we have to set a trap.
Our trap is to go out to a section of the town that was, Less affluent, and use a ritual, that was created before we went to Istanbul. We looked around, and decided on a little shanty town area, known to be a hang out for the young, and not very muslim. After drinking our fill from the kids, we sprang out trap, the ring was used. The tremere did not show up. Not sure if this is because it didn't work, or we managed to choose Assamite territory to try this little experiment. Once we felt Eyes upon us, we looked around for a defendable position, because at this moment we didn't KNOW that we are in Assamite territory. The joy is the only defendable position that is close by appears to be a solid concrete structor, with a metal door, and a rather large lock. Bruno decides to knock in Lasombra fashion, and the door is now a mat. The man inside thinks that we are after his drugs/money/something illegal that is worth something, and a fight ensues. Little did we know that the people outside this building are also the guards, and there is a firefight. Little chemeristry, and some uzi toting phantasms keeps people from storming the building. Unfortunately the Assamite either saw through them, or was already inside when they were created, and stabbed me. Bastard. After a round of us dodging each other, He decided to kill two vampires with one phosphorous grenade. I jumped out the building, Bruno tries to jump down their hidey hole, but doesn't quite make it, and his beast thinks this is a good time to run away. I then rip this individuals worst fears to the forefront of his eyes, and He decides that he should run from his worst nightmare.
Vampire problem solved, I am still being shot at.. I feel I should follow Bruno, to see if he is ok. Unfortunately I am on the roof in an effort to keep from being shot. I am finding that the amount of fortitude that I have, makes the gunshots, more annoying, than actually damaging. This roof, however, is not designed to have people on top, and I feel it giving way. I move over to above the hole to the "hidden" area, and I crash through. Down the whole I go, and I meet, yet more people with guns. Jump, Shoot, roll, Shoot, Duck, Shoot, eat, Shoot some more. and steal a bag of money, and I run off. I find Bruno right outside the back door. Our hunting trip has successfully netted me negative blood, and a dire need for new armor, and clothes.
Our second outing for the evening. we visit a park that I would like to make our domain. We notice a deal going down, and find ourselves a Giovanni agent. after a bit of dominate, we learn that he worked for the "prince of the waves" and the park is a meeting place. Not to bad.. we head home. After the creepy feeling watched, we ditch the ghost by heading through a few churches. Hit the hotel, just a bit before Dawn.
