The Nights in Detroit - A Sabbat Chronicle

[alesand]

This is about the characters I play in this setting. I will be posting recaps of each of my characters' adventures in the Sabbat controlled city of Detroit.

Characters thus far and their bios: Carl Jeer - A Billy Mays look alike and staunch union supporter. Embraced under unknown circumstances and fiercely loyal to the Sabbat. Has an irrational hatred for Google. Brujah Anti Tribu

Peter Aurelio - Peter was always a troubled individual but after his embrace he really got in touch with his wild side. Finding the Path of Cathari most suitable to his needs, he wanders around, causing mass death and destruction. He recently arrived in Detroit looking for excitement as the last city he lived in, controlled by the Camarilla, did not enjoy Peter's idea of "helping" a local high school with decorating...

Carl Jeer Saga

Introduction to the Sabbat. Carl Jeer was recently embraced as a vampire. After learning a bit more he decided to meet other vampires. He soon met with a pack priest and other members. Whilst helping Carl with initiation, some crazy mortal hobo decided he wanted in and propositions Carl for sex. The vampires are having none of this though. The pack priest twists off the bum's head whilst another vampire laps in the blood, licking it right off the ground.

Gygax. After a few weeks, some mysterious magic was preventing vampires from entering homes. The source of this magic was coming from Niagara Falls. Many vampires went there but few returned. Carl decided to try his luck and prove his worth to the Sabbat. Before he can leave, he deals with a mugger. One kick to the balls is more than enough to bring the punk down and then off to New York Carl goes.

Carl was told to locate a house located out in the country some miles away from the falls. Carl sees a couple of guards and smashes their heads together, killing one and forcing the other to come with him. They enter into the house to discover it has one empty room and a hallway which leads to a door. The guard warns not to open the door to which Carl then forces him to open it. The guard's arm is nearly melted off and he is begging Carl to let him go. Carl decides to be merciful and allows him to go under the promise he is not to tell anyone what has occurred thus far. Carl forces him to drink his blood to ensure he lives to his promise.

Carl then tears thru the walls and finds himself inside a cavern. He walks awhile and comes to a ravine. Carl jumps across and carefully walks around rocky spikes in a narrow passageway. Further down said passageway, Carl carefully dodges streaming jet flames and acquires a shield. Nearby are rapids, so Carl does what comes to mind and uses the shield as a surfboard. He enjoys surfing, but soon that ends as he escapes a vortex which empties into a giant mouth which eats his shield. This giant mouth is Gygax, some ancient demon which for unknown reasons really hates vampires. From both its voice and appearance, it is a hybrid of Jabba the Hutt and the Sarlaac from Return of the Jedi.

After approaching the shore, Gygax tells Carl to enter the corridors. Carl sees another vampire in there as well. He is turned into a mortal much to his pleasure and frolicks off. Carl sees an image of himself as a mortal and a potential new life. Carl rejects this and decides to remain a vampire and leaves thru a passage which is a rapid which falls off cliffs aka Niagara Falls itself. Carl plunges off the falls and survives. Carl then sneaks aboard a passing steam ship called the Maiden of the Mists.

 Aboard the ship Carl overhears passengers who are followers of Gygax as they celebrate their immortality granted to them by sacrificing vampires to Gygax. Carl is having none of this as he appears and does the following: crushes 3 of the cultists under a table, strangles another, breaks the ankles of one trying to escape, throws 2 crew members into the broiler, forces the captain to choke down lumps of coal before throwing him into the broiler, and then set the ship's course for the Falls and watches from shore as the ship crashes into the Falls and explodes. Carl returns to Detroit but leaves shortly thereafter on a quest to destroy Google. (if anyone wants to know what became of Gygax, let me know)

Peter Aurelio Saga

Peter is Entertained by Hi-jinks. Peter Aurelio has just arrived in Detroit. He sees a vampire feeding and asks for directions to which the vampire pointed to an "abandoned" church. As he enters he meets two other vampires, one a Nosferatu and the other a Harbinger of Skulls. They show him around the church with its bloody fountains and various gambling and gaming areas. They step into the office to introduce him to the Bishop only to discover a pile of ash. The Harbinger needs materials to perform a ritual to assess what happened so the Nosferatu brings more than what was required: he brought the silver spoon and string but instead of a stick he instead brought into that small church room an entire tree. After clearing the room and picking off one stick, the Harbinger performs the ritual and sees the Bishop fighting a demonic entity.

Looking for more info, the Nosferatu and Harbinger leave to see another leader and learn that the entity was a Baali. Since the headquarters are now considered "desecrated" they decide to simply burn down the church... without bothering to warn those within except for a few others. Those others were Tzimisce girls in training and they along with one of the characters drove off to Chicago to start mischief there, esp. as the Camarilla in that city were wiped out by werewolves recently. The other guy secretly splashed gasoline everywhere and lit the place up. Peter knew something was afoot and quietly exited. Currently unknown how many, if any, survived the flames.

Peter Wants to Paint the Town Red and Pretends to be Jewish. Peter receives an invitation to meet with a Ductus and meets two other vampires along the way, one of whom is a pack Priest and the other a member of Black Hand. They meet with the Ductus to arrange a new headquarters. The Ductus is a casino owner and discusses how they can black mail some high ranking, corrupt rabbi to gain control of a synagogue which would serve as the new headquarters along with him providing new gambling/gaming stuff. They meet another Sabbat member who is also part of Black Hand. When asked what brings him to town, Peter hints about his favorite hobby, which is acceptable to them. Peter and the Priest leave as the 2 Black Hand members converse about the Inquisition. While they talk, the Priest and Peter discuss the Path of Cathari and culling of the weak.

Soon Peter, the Priest, the Ductus, and the 1st Black Hand drive to the synagogue. They perform a vaulderie and soon arrive at the target destination. They see the elder rabbi's mistress and exit the car. Peter and two of the guys pretend to be Jewish and wail about her fornicating nature whilst one of the other vampires records this. Police appear and this only adds further to the black mail. To further tarnish the rabbi's reputation as well as tarnishing the value of the synagogue, two of the vampires murder one of the synagogue elders in his office whilst Peter waits in the car. As expected, the synagogue now belongs to the casino owning Ductus who immediately begins renovations.

Peter Unintentionally Adds Further Chaos to a Bar Brawl. Peter is exploring the city and follows some girls who are arguing with one girl wanting to return to a party and the others urging that everyone should be together for a friend's date at a bar. Trailing Peter is another vampire, a Gangrel. The girls enter the bar. The Gangrel following Peter follows the girls inside whilst Peter enters thru a side door and enters the basement/kitchen area. Peter grabs a wine bottle and hides in a closet.

Upstairs the Gangrel decides to fuck with the girls by transferring his inner beast into one of the girls, causing her to become a bezerker and start attacking everyone. The bartender yells for help, causing one of the chefs to run near the closet. Peter, just like a trap door spider, quickly reaches out and yanks his prey into the closet and closes the door. Peter then rams the entire bottle into the chef's mouth/throat and then drains some of his blood. He eventually dies due to his now shattered jaw and suffocation. The other chef exited the bathroom, looking for his buddy. Peter whacks him with a hammer and has to twice tackle the guy down (due to the guy dodging the 1st tackle). Peter then proceeds to carve the guy's face with knives and then gouge out his eyes and put those said eyes into a pasta salad.

Upstairs, chaos continues as the frenzied girl injures more people and, when getting a gun, proceeds to bash in the skull of the bar tender. When the cops show up, Peter sneaks out of there whilst the police shoot down the girl.

With the beast restored to the Gangrel, he leaves and steals a cop car and offers Peter a ride. They ride into a river. The Gangrel disappears and Peter decides to change his clothes by murdering a bunch of hobos under a bridge.
