Plot:Missing Couriers

Summary Over the past few weeks, something strange has been brewing within the vampire community in Prospect. Rumors are circulating about a powerful artifact that has gone missing-an item of immense significance, capable of offering control over the dead and dangerous power to those who possess it. Though the Tremere are particularly concerned, it appears that multiple factions are vying for control of the artifact, each with their own agendas. Recently, whispers have surfaced suggesting that rogue elements within the Tremere, Sabbat spies, and even the Tzimisce have tangled themselves in a complex game of theft, smuggling, and betrayal. The Tzimisce seem especially eager to claim the artifact for themselves, although their efforts may have already backfired-leaving one of their own dead in the heart of the city, brutally mutilated after attempting to harness the power of a fake relic. What began as a quiet exchange of supernatural secrets has now spiraled out of control. Tensions rise as a new interested group-among them Anarchs who have been seen skulking around the city's periphery-appear to be taking a keen interest in the relic's recovery. The streets of Prospect are no longer safe, and the undead political landscape is shifting as dangerous alliances and rivalries are forming. The clock is ticking, and those who seek the artifact must move quickly. It seems that war-subtle or otherwise-may be inevitable if this dark prize is not found and returned to the hands that claim ownership. Updates There are plenty of ways to get involved, whether you want to play the role of a detective, enforcer, or power-hungry opportunist. Contact staff if you want more information about generating a vampire to slide into this plot and start following the leads as they unfold around the city. The night is dark, and the stakes are high-your character could tip the balance of power in this unfolding mystery. Update 10/18/24 Charai: She's going to start slowly taking down the barrier around the warehouse. It will take around 3 days to slowly do it so that the collection of wraiths and negative energy doesn't burst out and basically kill anyone around. That's 3 rolls to perform the ritual (over three nights), plus concealment, security, etc. Additionally, she was asked to verify the potential remains of "Frank" the Nosferatu that escaped from Vegas and was found 'ripped to shreds' in Carlsbad. Silvana: Maintain direct surveillance on the warehouse to keep an eye on the van and if any changes are made to the deliveries or withdrawals. there's got to be something about why they're moving the bodies to Mexico rather than just disposing of them on site. Io: Electronic Investigation /surveillance into the Tzimisce in the warehouse. Amos: Provide security for Charai for the rituals. Amelie: Will head down to Carlsbad and begin preliminary investigations on "Frank's" corpse. this is mostly to see if Charai's services are needed. News Update: October 12th Highway 8 (that connects Prospect to Phoenix and that runs parallel to the Mexican border has seen several civic improvement projects become active in the past few days - much to the approval of several city and county officials. Commuters, however are noticing a distinct reduction in speed and increase in traffic that has brought the four hour drive between the two major cities up to six easily. Gallery NPCs
