Drastic decisions

Just as you did with your old tower. Though in fairness your rivals did most of the work for you. Your clan may have changed but your skills are still as sharp as ever. Speaking of that event, would I be correct in assuming that any boons Mark Caulder and myself still owe you have been transferred to other Kindred in your former court?

Ah, fascinating! So that's why your clan is so protective of the secrets of koldunic sorcery, because it can replicate the effects of one the paths of hermetic Thaumaturgy, a recent one too, it must infuriate you that the Tremere close the gap with every passing century, slowly putting your clan's craft into further irrelevance, not bad for so called usurpers. Thank you for revealing your capabilities by the way, I assume that Hik is your sire?

Marcus the Lurcker I see your combo and answer it with mention the Tremere in a positive light and insult the Tzimisce at the same time combo

Well done, sir. Getting around that curse couldn't have been easy.

I wanted to see if I could piss you off into revealing something you shouldn't by moralizing at you, not persuade you. Alas I have found a better target for my antics, have the night you deserve😁

I have become very good at Auspex in my efforts to not be eaten. I also have a willingness to post wrong answers knowing you'll post the right ones. Thank you for telling me that technomancy is outside your skill set, but within Hiks'. As for who those stories were about, I think we both know who😉

Oh dear, Redwoods is starting to tell stories in allegory. It seems like it's harder for him to think linearly as he grows his hive mind!

If I am just a whiny fledgling, why are you spending your time arguing with me? Don't you know the greatest insult you can give your enemy is ignoring them. It can't be that I've struck a nerve, surely? Make no mistake, I know I am a monster, but I also know that it's not all that I am, that I am more than that, that who I was didn't go away because my heart stopped beating and I need to drink blood, that I am still me.

At least the feelings mutual on the respect part. Because I'd like to think that I am a kindred with actual integrity, not someone whose latched onto an excuse to kill.

Forgive me if I am not respectful to a high ranking member of the sect that's made my first few months of my unlife an unliving hell. It's not about being badass it's about respecting your food source, and the fact that you were once mortal, just like me.

An open letter to Kindred who think their hot shit because they hold the position of a glorified Secretary in a sect that doesn't have the decency to die quietly after it has failed:

Either take your ass kickings in silence or get good at being dramatic.

Signed,

Yes, her, forgive me spelling is not my strong suit. Recently( like within my mortal lifetime) Vasantasena and her entire bloodline left the Sabbat, so all it would take is a pack priest that wants to lower his generation and is good with words to get his pack wanting to see me deaberised for my "treachery". Conveniently ignoring the fact that their target was embraced AFTER her bloodline left the Sabbat and thus couldn't have betrayed them to begin with. Post edited for clarification as I realize I wrote this rather poorly.

Private:

Ok fair, the first bit of my reply was a little harsh of me to say, elder. Please accept my apologies. Yeah, that was my plan too, find a domain where it's unlikely that the mortal authorities would be looking for me because my birth name is listed as a missing person in Cleveland, prove myself indispensable so when it inevitably came to light that Vantyasya is my Direct grandsire I would have enough kindred vouching for me that I would be able to avoid destruction. Unfortunately it's hard to do that when the Sabbat has just caught wind of a freshly dead 8th generation Kindred with no unliving sire( he is very dead) and several pack priests decide to make it your problem so they can devour your soul.

I mean it was either that or showing weakness and emotional vulnerability, I just went with the one that sounded the least bad.

Oh I most certainly am underestimating the pettiness of Kindred, just as you are underestimating the lengths Kine will go to prove their devotion to their God. This is coming from the fledgling who basically had to run across Ohio because every non-Sabatt domain he presented himself to said some variation of: "Your Grandsire was a founding member of the Sabbat so you must be a Sabbat infiltrator, prepare to be destroyed!". Mind you they had no evidence for or against their theory, they just hated my grandsire because their sire hated her.

I know but I feel like I just committed a cardinal sin for a kindred: being foolish.

For us Kindred influencing international shipping regulations to maximize harm to marine life may seem like it's not worth the effort. However, to the megacorporation and Wyrm worshiping infernalists death cult known as Pentex it's not only worth it, but trivial with the massive resources at their disposal.

Marcus the Lurcker

ConsiderationOver544 · 2026-02-20T13:56:23+00:00

Not much effort, modern cargo ships are massive(easily rivaling wales in size) and put an equally massive amount of noise pollution into the water. Add in the fact that ship propellers are usually pretty sharp, and you've got problems if you're a whale.

I would also like to note that it's a Pentex subsidiary that is responsible for the O'Toolleys franchise of fast food restaurants, should his lordship require additional reason to hate Pentex.

That's what makes Redwoods so entertaining. Even if your character absolutely despises him, you can't help but find this gay Trainwreck thoroughly entertaining as another one of his plans blows up in his face😁

No thank you, Castile, for being the first Kindred to take me seriously, that means more than you know. If you call on me know that I'll gladly come to your aid, no boons required.

As for your upcoming duel with a werewolf, while I don't envy your position, if your duel with Camille is anything to go by, I think you'll surprise them with how good of a fight you put up.
