You are of course free to do as you wish.
Take me to your Prince, have him take my head. Your herculean task is complete.
And when the event still occurs you are free to explain why you have not fulfilled your mission to Papa C.
If you neither require nor desire my help in your endeavors, I shall sit here in the Light enjoying the... ahem... ambiance of these Marvelous Surroundings.

Seriously, you have to be able to do better than this squalor, don't you?

Perhaps adjourn to Jacks Gallery? He has a Bottle of '34 Sauternes that begs to be tasted.

So, lets assume for a moment that we don't turn you over to the Prince. Who then did we see in the moving picture?

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 2:36 am

How amusing.
You saw no one.
Much to your poor deluded friends chagrin.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 2:36 am

Jack/Antonio, whomever you are. What can you do to help us? Since that seems to be your infferance. Whatever it is we have until tomarrow night to get things done. So can we get to the point.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 2:43 am

Let us try it this way...
You see me now as you saw him then, or whatever the tense is for future sight. As you saw the "tape" vision.
There were others with "me" were there not?
Assuming we can find those people would it not be easier to have their contact along?

Jackson Barracks, outside New Orleans in Chalmette, may have "misplaced" some explosives.

Where do the rest of you suggest we start?

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 11:37 am

Having their contact along would be good....if that contact were to be trustworthily on our side. We shall see how that is regarding you. For now though, I agree with your suggestion. We should proceed to the barracks and see what we can learn there.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 12:29 pm

What about Arif Bankhesh? Do you know anything about him Antonio?

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 6:33 pm

I know his line of business, which includes weapons dealings; I don't know where to find him, but I do know how to make him find us. He is a Settite and that name is a cover.

As far as the Base is concerned, the theft has already occurred. We may be better suited finding Me or my Contacts, if that makes sense.

I know of a couple places we could check... and I'm pretty sure it would rapidly become a situation that Troy and Rev will enjoy

Antonio smiles widely

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 12:48 am

I am game. < smiles a toothy grin> I say let the hunt begin.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 1:39 am

Well then, should we start by going to see if I'm home?

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 2:28 am

Lead on for now.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 2:48 am

If memory serves, we should head out to Irish Bayou first.
I don't think we want to touch base with "Arif" until I am secured.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 3:19 am

After you.....

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 3:50 am

Shall I call for a car or would one of you prefer to drive?

I am fine with this course of action, as well.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 12:16 pm

Troy has a car. I mean I would offer, but I don't think it would be safe for us all to try to ride my chopper.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Sun Mar 09, 2008 10:44 pm

Then by all means if Troy is amenable let's saddle up.

tru1cy · Post by **tru1cy** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 9:47 am

Eyes Antonio warily
I'm not sure I like the idea of having a Lasombra in my car....

Looks around room

I'll drive, but if Jack/Antonio does anything remotely suspicious I'll try my best to kill him

Grabs keys from his pocket and walks out the room and igets nto his beat up Crown Vic

Scoop20906 · Post by **Scoop20906** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:37 am

Here we go again.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:55 am

Vitorio looks at the Crown Vic and slowly shakes his head.
I will follow in my own car.
He turns and walks towards his Jag.

/ooc Bring it Troy. You and your little winterbeater can suck dust.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:10 pm

Well this should be fun.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 12:35 pm

Lets do this.

Jack the Ripper: Morrissey

Oh, you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean
As your life has been

It is a cool night for New Orleans with a lot of dampness in the air. Troy gets in the Crown Vic and fires her up. "Lets do this" Revnant says as he hops on his bike. Vitorio walks over to his Jaguar and says "I will follow in my car".

Guided by "Antonio"; Troy hits the Interstate and heads east. New Orleans East still looks like a wasteland. Fire damaged apartments can be seen to the left while dilapidated houses collapse under their own weight to the right. Soon you hit the marshlands outside the city. Great swaths of marshland are dead or dying from all the salt water dumped by the storm. Right before Lake Pontchartrain; Troy gets off at the Irish Bayou exit. A crumbling sign welcomes sightseers to swamp and gator tours to the left. Troy takes a right onto Highway 11.

About a mile down, Troy pulls of into the parking lot of an abandoned Shell gas station. "Antonio" gets out the car and points to the west. "We are a little less than 1/2 a mile from the haven". You follow the hand and your eyes come to rest on a "motte and bailey" structure through the swamp. It is made of some white stone with a red tower sticking out of the left side.

This was a vacation home built in the 60's for a wealthy person who enjoyed privacy.

Now I use it for much the same reason.

It can be accessed by boat or along a path.
Anyone approaching by boat will certainly be spotted.
The path is not known to most but should be guarded.
We should head along the path but be cautious and hope to catch one of the guards.

We are on the lookout for three things... the boat, the car, and the guards.
If the boat is not docked, one of the ghouls is out for supplies. Which leaves two.
If the car is missing, I am most likely not home.
If the boat is docked and the car here then we have a rough n tumble ahead of us.

Shall we go?

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 8:01 pm

Onward.
Vitorio makes no move to near the front of the group but rather remains standing waiting for the others to form an order to the group.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:06 pm

Troy shall we go first.

I think I am going to enjoy this.

Chaosraven · Post by **Chaosraven** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 1:46 am

Antonio casually saunters down the path

Scoop20906 · Post by **Scoop20906** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 11:30 am

Please wait for a second, Antonio.

Thomas turns to the rest of the group and speaks quietly.

How do we know this Antonio isn't leading us into a trap?

There is a security camera on the building pointing towards the path. It looks to me that it will observe us about couple hundred feet from the building. I also think someone is home since there is a sedan parked on the left side of the building.

I feel the path isn't our best option for approach at this point in time.

I am open to other suggestions.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 11:47 am

So we know Antonio is most likely home. We still need to question him. Care to suggest a better approach to the house? We need not come in weapons drawn. We can go in and talk then draw weapons when the situation calls for them. I think we must risk the trap to gain the reward of knowledge we need.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 7:15 pm

Hey you guys, Stop there is a motion sensor on the path. You want to go around or shall I try and disable it?

Are you able to disable the security camera as well?

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Tue Mar 11, 2008 7:44 pm

I may know a thing or 2 about security devices.

RevHempus71 wrote:I may know a thing or 2 about security devices.

Thats good to know. If you can disable the motion detector and the security camera cover the path, please do so.

If not, I believe I can lead us through the marsh but we may have to face security camera's on the other side of the house.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 12:01 am

Better than disabling it, I can make it see what I want. Say like a normal marsh without a gang of Kindered sauntering about.....

Roll eyes

The Camarilla and Sabbat is at war. While the Giovanni might hold themselves as a neutral clan your services are being paid for by our Prince as such you're in this conflict on the side of the Camarilla.

I will not be walking into a Sabbat Haven looking to parley like this is some fucking diplomatic mission of the fucking U.N.

If you have this much aversion to violence, Giovanni, then I suggest you keep you death loving ass on the side line.

Turns back to the Woods. We should wade in through the swamp

/ooc- loving being Brujah

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:56 am

Vitorio gives Troy a sympathetic look
Must be nice to have such a simplistic view of the world. I am not saying we actually parley in good faith. I am saying we go in and talk until we either have what we need to know or he refuses to give us the information we need. Then you and Revnant can do your thing. Then, when you are done doing your thing, maybe I will do mine and you will see what it really means to be Giovanni.
Vitorio swings his car keys around his finger then tucks them into his pocket.
I would have thought the arrogance of openly walking into a Sabbat haven while knowing you have every intention of tearing it to shreds would have appealed to a real Brujah.

Scoop20906 · Post by **Scoop20906** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 11:05 am

Arguing is a waste of both of yours valuable time.

Thomas turns to Rev.

Rev perform your magic so we can just walk up the path.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 11:14 am

I assume an argument with a Brujah sounds much different than this. I would expect to hear more grunting and gunshots.
Vitorio chuckles softly and leans back against the hood of Troy's car (wouldn't want to scratch the Jag

) to await Revnant's signal that he has finished.

RevHempus71 · Post by **RevHempus71** » Wed Mar 12, 2008 11:16 am

Done.

Use my Chimestry to create a static image for the security camera.
