Session 27: At What Cost? Report

General Summary

Saoirse and the Tzimisce Saoirse's Scene opens with the Tzimisce having just thanked her for the "Gift" and walking towards Philly. • Saoirse recalled the Tzimisce and how seriously they take the laws of Hospitality, including that when a guest arrives, the Guest is expected to present a gift to their Host. • Using this information, Saoirse offered herself in place of her Ghoul as the gift. The Tzimisce accepted her as the gift and bit her neck. • Scourge Izem Al-Bahar appeared behind the Tzimisce and cut his head off causing the surrounding Sabbat Pack members to begin moving to attack. • Bishop Liberius came out from back stage and ordered the Sabbat to stop, which they immediately listened. • Informed Saoirse that she and the Scourge are free to leave. They did as they were asked, so the rest of her Coterie has been released. • The Bishop did not allow Philly to leave, and Dominated Philly to come to her. When Saoirse refused to leave without Philly, The Bishop informed Saoirse that her Coterie have stolen a War Ghoul from her, so she is accepting Philly as a "gift" to thank the Bishop for their hospitality as well as an apology/reparations for the destruction of the Bishop's Ghoul. • Saoirse still refused and told the Bishop to take her instead of Philly. The Bishop agreed as it would make up for them killing her Childe, and was going to let Philly leave. They staked Saoirse which caused Philly to panick and try to shoot the Bishop. At which point the Bishop knocked her out. The last thing Saoirse could hear/feel was her and Philly being dragged back stage.     Quinton, Jax and Tala   • These 3 opened with Quinton holding the Salubri Ashes while Tala was holding Jax up at the top of the stairs. • They see that the Shovel heads from the Basement are long gone. • Quinton called Rex McCray for a pickup. • Bishop Maciej entered the room the PC's are in and informed them that Saoirse did as they asked, so they will keep their side of the deal and allow the PC's to leave. • Cucumber's Owner, a Sabbat Country Gangrel, will run past the Coterie as they are leaving, shoulder checking them if they are in the way, and will run to the Basement. ○ The Coterie will hear the Gangrel frenzy upon seeing Cucumber and the sounds of utter chaos will echo from the basement as he engages the raging War Ghoul. • Jax and Tala left and crossed the street where they found shelter. • Quinton stayed behind and finished off the War Ghoul, discovering the Prince wasn't really there. It was just a flesh crafted model of her head. The Gangrel fell into torpor because the sun rose right after the Ghoul died. Quinton staked the Gangrel and posed cool for when his ghouls arrived to get him.   Closing Scene: The Coterie woke up with Butcher sitting beside them in a super secured apartment in the middle of town. They go to the roof to see the city burning, and riots breaking out across town as Butcher informs them of what was happening. Butcher also gives the letter inviting them to a Primogen Council Meeting at the Museum.
