WHiV Session 17: Polite Kidnapping
General Summary
Aug. 26, 1996
Another busy night for the coterie, Victoria Ash arrived in town with her ghoul Johnny Depp and Carna announced that she'd be coming to Vegas in a couple days. Cesca would wait for Victoria to visit Elysium, in the meantime Patrick and Anthony had a lead on one of the hunters that 'killed' Therese Voerman. The necromancers at the Vegas World Casino managed to interrogate the bones of David 'Four Eyes' Hill, discovering the hideout where the hunters plotted their attack on Moe Green. Hopefully another hunter's head would be enough to make Jeanette happy.
Patrick and Anthony drove out to a private school in the wealthy suburbs, mostly empty this late at night. Patrick stealthily bypassed several locked doors, sneaking into the library without a sound and knocking out the hunter Eleanor Seagraves. Anthony took the ancient tome Eleanor had been studying for good measure, and together they all drove back to the Vegas World Casino with their new hostage.
When Eleanor came to she stayed calm and negotiated for her freedom, explaining how she worked for a wealthy individual with a lot of influence in the city. The Trinity soon met to discuss the hunter's fate: Patrick wanted her killed and given over to Jeanette, Cesca wanted her spared to get on good terms with her employer, leaving the tie-breaking vote up to Anthony. After a quick and bloody consultation with the Dracon, Anthony agreed with Cesca and spared Eleanor's life. Thankful for surviving the night, Eleanor set up a call that night between the vampires and her employer Howard Hughes.
Later that night the coterie met up with the Ministry to get more tapes of the Funny Guy killings, Mona warning that the killer clown was now in Vegas. She also complained about the unfair demands Jan Sava was putting on her clan with his major boons, urging the coterie to do something about Jan's request to learn the secrets of the Ministry's Temple of Set. It'd be a problem for tomorrow night, along with Victoria Ash: according to Cesca the Toreador never showed up to pay her respects at Elysium.
