Skirmish at Londonium northern gate, 951AD
The Coterie of the Morbid Misfits had been requested to the British Isle at the behest of Mithras and his Clan. It seems his eye is on creating another great empire, an attempt to restore The Long Night ? This night they were summoned to a common kindred meeting place, the Haggered Wench, to hear his words and understand his wishes. This was a Tavern frequented by ghouls, vampires and humans who knew to not ask many questions or sought favor from the gods. It was on the Edge of the old Roman fort, its walls long crumbling and in disrepair. rumor has it that the herds.. the mortals.. are being tainted by a foul ichor that was corrupting and killing their kind and poisoning kindred,
Mithras enters the scene with a number of well dressed men and women, all with sword on their belts containing the Cult of Mithras symbol upon them. lurking further behind them but by no means trying to hide Hastar and a number of similarly gruff persons hung out behind them keeping watch
Here we find the Anachronistic Hunters. they had not been seen previously in the city and are unknown by most of it's inhabitants, they were wearing peasant clothes and they speak with odd accents... They were Pulled from their search because of local kindred politics, sadly they knew this game well. the Jihad as it was commonly called. to add to their Shock of this place, the elder that addressed them is Mithras.. THE Mithras ... His Reputation as cold, practical and an odd humor was well stated by his actions, even the myths of him do not do him Justice. The two were rinsulted by Mithras. Afterwards the Gangrel Damien was reluctant to do his bidding yet he steeled his jaw did so anyway, knowing that in this game he would get little choice.the Banu Haqim, Yakub Naseer contemplated their situation and decided he was curious about this strange situation and would follow on this adventure.
Mithras detailed his concerns for the herd and the death of a few kindred that were tainted by the poisoned blood. The uncertainty around the source of the deaths has caused unrest in both worlds and that he wanted them to go east to Elmham to investigate. He introduced Phaedra Cosmos as an expert in the matters of the unknown and her to have point on the research, that Lucrezia Thorne is a young one and needs to gain experience that her assistance to Phaedra Cosmos will be important for this endeavor. at that moment he tossed her an unusual smirk, and he said "though I have great faith in Airla Enyo he raw drive is admirable. (a one eyed woman who was unassuming as all accounts) I have concerns this issue might be more than a simple issue and I want to test the new kindred in my domain.So I now command you all to form a coterie to sort through this for me, I'll be expecting reports often. Investigate the Stories of the darkness, understand the threat to my domain.
So forced together by the Architect Mithras and sent on a mission east of the city..
it was at that moment that the ground shook as a huge stone smashed into the walls and clipped the tavern. Mithras and his great horde moved toward the gap. Gunther Vanderhausen rushing into the breach only to be rewarded with an incoming bolder that crushed him up against the wall. The Cult of Mithras charged ahead of their god, through the breach and the sound of steel on steel was obvious, the cries of wounded, unmistakable. Mithras calmly looks at the Coterie of the Damned and tells this with no uncertainty, "go east, whatever this petty squabble. we will handle it. Do not be distracted from your task" and he turns with not another word and walks up to the bolder and crushed form of Gunther Vanderhausen, Mithras lifts the bolder easily and throws it a great distance out of sight of the Coterie. he offers his hand down to his comrad "Stand Gunther Vanderhausen, they are but filthy Brujah death will not claim us this night, but they have much concern before them. They turn and wade into battle.
The City was attacked by a unique horde of vikings, Later to be Discovered as Einherjarian. Mithras and his small guards pushed hard into their numbers and held them off while our newly formed group made their exit. Pushed more than expected Mithras had to give some ground before the city forces rallied and gave him support. All the wile many of the pressing fighters stood watching on the hill clearly not committing their full forces, Having Mithras pinned slightly the invading Norsemen/Viking had the opporunity to send a small force into the flank of the newly formed Coterie of the Damned. The lead force of humans charged in, strangely in addition to their rank a white wolf, a gangrel? a werewolf? and clearly a brujah, their speed and strength are not easy to overlook. The mortals hit into the flank first and found themselves wanting.. Some small packages should not be under estimated As Airla Enyo turned her full force unto the first attacker... wow the mess.. Metal sheared, bones broke and flesh was rendered. The Banu Haqim moved at great speed and attacked his foe with great ferocity. Then Darkness covered the battlefield a pitch that no sight could penetrate. it was at this moment the Coterie of the Damned realized that they had found a new ally. Zacharaii Andreiovitch of the famed warriors of the Allucinatio a warrior clan who uses misdirection in addition to unbridled strength, who play battle fields like chess has come to their aid. It is at this moment that the wolf howls, striking fear into many. Yakub Naseer moves quickly from the battle fleeing the terror. The Coterie takes advantage of this moment and pulls back in the confusion. Making quick work of those humans who remain. From the clear view of Zacharaii Andreiovitch hee vikings send in heavy re-enforcements several of the wolf creatures and the assumed brijah with ice blue eyes. The coterie kepts their eye on the target and escapes with Zacharaii Andreiovitch easily keeping pace. Phaedra Cosmos had also kept a keepsake from the battle. it seems the Coterie has increased by two
So . What kind of viking have such a mix of species was asked, and why were they here so far south?
A motley crew of new allies move into the darkness and travel north east to Anglia. First they happned Upon Elmham, this village is more foreign to some than others. The south is a bit more lively peasents milling about and many coming to and from the local tavern in the center of the river that it breaks. The party moevs forward and the city centers are inspected. The farmers and the Miners being the principle focus it seems of the north and south. The North is far more subdued. Upon inquiry the Farmers warned of darkness in the forest and how its invading town. The Miners and Church appeared unknowing of any wrong doing. Upon investigation the Coterie found some pretty obvious issues in the form of simple and basic Fomori they searched a local building finding several of these creatures hiding and biding their time. Phaedra Cosmos was attached and screamed for her thrall, as Airla Enyo waded into the fray. A battle ensured culminating in the aid of george and the extraction of the black ooze for study. With some samples in hand they fall back to the safety of Mithra's domain.
Vampire Lords with no agenda but their own, Vikings clad in white fur, huge wolves, and unnatural warriors with ice blue eyes.. dangerous intent to be sure. And the conformation of vile Darkness that infects creatures..
Ill omens are these
