The Crimson Crossroad - A Finale after Dark
-
Okay, we'll say Sunday the 22nd at 3pm GMT, get those fangs sharpened!

In the depths below Mintas Rhelgor, judgement was passed upon the misfortunate Jubal. Whispers abound that the very crimes she paid the ultimate price for were aided and abetted by senior kindred from all three Courts. Whatever the truth, scapegoat or saboteur, Jubal's fate is now sealed.
Her downfall heralds the rise of your new Coterie, however. With her blood consumed by the Rite of Red Communion, you are now the fixture of all kinds of attentions, both welcome and unsettling alike. Your sires hope to advance their own agenda, any improvement in your standing merely makes you more useful in their own interminable games.
Meanwhile, the Masters of the Courts play their own unfathomable game, and you cannot help but wonder if you are not merely pawns promoted to knights. Still, you have no choice for now but to fulfill your newfound duties and obey.
Your first formal tasks as a Coterie will be cleaning up after Jubal; she left behind an illegitimate spawn, and a relic from the Old Empire. Both need to be dealt with...and your elders are all too keen to offer divergent advice on just how to handle both matters.
Many thanks to those who attended the Red Communion last week, and apologies for my late update here - we've had some serious flooding in my area this week so I was dealing with leaky ceilings instead of planning dark vampiric deeds!
Those who didn't make the Red Communion, we will simply assume ICly your characters attended and partook in the ritual (which as you may have alluded from the above, made you all directly complicit in executing Jubal).
We still have some weather warnings here this weekend, but I will be aiming to run a follow up event Saturday or Sunday, probably either in the afternoon or evening GMT - I will announce IG & in the events channel in advance of the start time as best I can so people have a chance to see in advance!
-
Can't make it, unfortunaly, as I have a birthday to get to. Have fun all!
-
I don't know how long I can stay as I have acquired some compromises for Sunday evening, but I'll be there at the beginning and for as long as possible!

Kindred from all three Courts have come together by the command of their sires and masters alike.
In uncertain fellowship, they set out on their first mission as a Coterie. They journeyed north, descending upon the Jewel of the Icelace after sunset.
Subtly, they crept into Peltarch from below, and then maneuvered through the nightlife of the Docks taverns until they found the leads they so sorely needed.
"Retrieve Jubal", was their command, and retrieve her they did. They brought their wayward cousin to heel, brought her home to her own sire, to answer for her missteps and mistakes.
By bringing her low, they had raised their stature. Proven the disparate Courts could work together. With this demonstration, their futures would only hew together all the closer. With this demonstration, the eyes of their elders were fixed upon them.
Now they are called to the rare Rite of Red Communion, to formalize their Coterie before their sires and the leading kindred of all three Courts.
Deep in the darkness below Mintas Rhelgor, their fates will be irrevocably intertwined.
Remember well, kindred, that ambition is all too often neighbour to ruin.
Many thanks to all those who have rolled Vampire PCs for this series, and who came along for our initial event last Monday. Our next major outing will be for the Red Communion, and will take place tomorrow - Sunday the 15th of October, starting at approx 1-2pm GMT.
