Second Set of Notes

OOC Game Date	XP given	IC Game Date	Plot Type (Best Guess)	Comments/Observations
02/05/00	4	Still Oct 26	Personal	Met Cole McMeans. He’s a fledgling Toreador. Geez. Was I ever that new?
			Purgatory	Saw Velvet talking to what appears to be her boss, a dark-skinned, scholarly, looking man named Philip. Per Bjorn the barkeep, Glen will be in tomorrow for poker. He has contacts with the slave trade.
		Oct 27	Personal	Met Con Rose at Under the Sea Restaurant. It was actually an Elysium event. (This info follows.)
			Elysium Gossip	Steven’s Escapades &emdash; He stole a film from Disney’s Grand Opening and played it at a Drive-In. Peter van Dorn walked in with the Prince’s two "daughters." Angelic is Toreador.
			Misc	Art is part of a coterie along with Tabitha, Waylan, Peter van Dorn, and Stephen Bjorn is a Brujah (duh.) Marissa was the name of the former Prince of D.C. She was killed in a Sabbat attack. Purgatory’s mortal barkeep is Sid. The Nosferatu and Werewolves have an agreement regarding the Zoo.
			Meeting with Informant	The informant was some religious-symbol wearing smuggler named Jacob. It was at a Self Storage area called the "Space Docks." Per Jacob: Jacques Amyzil is a consultant to the Police. He’s supposedly the Big Bad Wolf’s supplier. He's a large, Haitian Man Joseph Fuller runs a snake worshipping cult. He’s the supplier of tainted blood drug to Big Bad Wolf? He recruits out of affluent clubs. The name of the church is Church of the Ancient Light.
			Sabbat questioning	Jack is the pack leader. The wanted to set Porter up for fall because he was "sneaking around too much." Jack is a Bonecrafter (Tzimsce). He looks like Jack Nicholson.

Third Set of Notes

OOC Game Date	XP given	IC Game Date	Plot Type (Best Guess)	Comments/Observations
02/18/00	4	Oct 28	Setites	Researched Setites. With five successes, Franklin learned a great deal. Foremost is that the Setites hate bright light. Their disciplines are Obfuscate, Presence, and Serpentis.
			Equipment	Visited Colonel Joe’s Army Surplus store. Franklin donned the fine attire of black, camouflage pants. He bought: 5 Flash Grenades 24 Flares 4 Shotguns and 10 boxes of shells Submachine Ammo 1 Bazooka (the damn thing is disposable) 8 machetes 1 Sword 1 Sword cane for Porter Black bags Rope and grappling hooks Radio equipment &emdash; 8 headsets Bright flashlights 4 Flak jackets (2 have plates)
			Church	The Church of the Ancient Light, who we believe to be a front for rich kids into the Followers of Set, had literature resembling some Haitian religious propaganda. The occult content was nonsense. "She" leads the Church. She has no known name and no description. Per Porter, the Setites want my grandsire’s tablets.
		Oct 29	Tainted Blood	David Wells was drained dead. Using his eyes as a mystic medium, Porter discovered that David last saw the "Scribbler" before dying.
			Misc	Rachel’s last name is Evans. Tabitha is a Gangrel. The Nosferatu George rescued our new friend Mhuldare from Torpor.
03/04/00	6	Oct 30	Equipment	The equipment arrived. With $70,000, Franklin hauled off the goods to his old place.
			Misc	Tabitha is Joseph Fuller’s "sister."
		Oct 31	Torpor	Col was dropped onto Franklin’s limo by a supposedly insane Dr. Witch. He was in torpor. Franklin and Porter fed him and stored him until he awoke. Some toxin was in his system from a fight he was in. Per Peter van Dorf, the Sabbat uses this type of toxin.
			Setites	Per Mhuldare, Joseph Fuller attends the Setite church in the sewers. Some "Amish-type" people 60 miles outside of town have been harassing the Church of the Ancient Light. The head guy is Abraham Mauler.
			Drug House	Per Dr. Witch, the flame-thrower person took down the old drug house. Per Bjorn, it was Philip, Velvet, and Emilio that took out the drug house.
			Package	Nathan and Rachel invaded the Zoo and took Franklin’s package. Rachel (or a look-alike) took the package and ran leaving Nathan hanging &emdash; literally. The werewolves caught and chained him up. A person resembling Jack Nicholson (probably Jack, the Sabbat leader) Nathan free using an "arm like a sword."
			Tainted Blood	Franklin hacked Ma Bell and got David Well’s list of phone numbers from his last bill. Also, he got the pay phone number from where Nathan called once he was free. Porter and Dr. Witch found Jacquekeb Amyzul’s postal mail box. After Dr. Witch drove a car into a house, Porter found an apartment key in the box (room #724).
			Torpor	A tall, Arabian guy is the person that shot golden needles from his hand and put the toxin in Col’s system. While paralyzed, he was told that he was wanted by them. Then, a grenade went off. Col later identified the Arabian guy as the "Scribbler," a probable Assamite assassin.
			Princely murder	Franklin’s sire was told that the former prince of D.C., Marissa &emdash; a Tremere, was killed by a Justicar, not a Sabbat attack like previously told to us.
			Attack and Burn	The Coterie of Chaos (or so it seems) met Nathan back at Franklin’s old place. Apparently he was followed, probably by Jack. He had some sort of obfuscate ability and attacked with a sword. We were all attacked and the building was burned, but we got out with the remainder of the equipment and our lives. Col kind of went insane and built a sculpture out of human flesh while a few others noted that they can’t fly. The good news is that Franklin’s $50,000 painting of weirdness can be claimed on the homeowners policy.
