••• Bloody Cache
Empowered by the force of his hunger itself, the Noctuku can invoke this power to prepare and preserve the stolen flesh of his victims, imbuing it with unnatural longevity and storing it for later consumption.
Kindred with this power tend to litter their havens with the torn limbs of their prey, relying upon Bloody Cache to sate their hunger when hunting is too dangerous or inconvenient to engage in. So long as the power is in effect, the limbs appear fresh, and do not seem to decompose.
This power can be used once for each victim of Size 5 or less, although the body must be torn into pieces of Size 1 each. The power does not imbue flesh with additional blood — there will only be as much in the limbs as was left in the victim when it died.

Effect
Dramatic Failure: The attempt to imbue the flesh fails, and the Noctuku actually expends an additional point of Vitae in the process, doubling the cost of his failure. He may not attempt to use this power on these remains in the future.
Failure: The power fails to activate, and the retained limbs provide no sustenance in the future.
Success: The limbs and the blood within them are successfully preserved. For each success rolled, they remain edible for one night (so, for example, three successes on the roll would allow the Noctuku to gain sustenance from the limbs for up to three nights after the activation of the power). To access the blood within the limbs, the Noctuku must devour the flesh. Even if the Noctuku regurgitates it immediately, the blood within will be drawn out and ingested.
Only a Noctuku with this power can gain sustenance from the limbs so preserved; the Bloody Cache entails the ability to both extend the sustainability of the flesh and the ability to benefit from it.
Exceptional Success: The limbs are preserved for a number of nights equal to twice the number of successes rolled.
