Vampire the Masquerade V5 - Session Fifty Six - The Southern Solution (Part Two)

I'm currently running a Vampire the Masquerade chronicle using the 5th Edition rule-set for a small group of fellow role-players. These are the chronicles of their adventures.

Our chronicle is set in Los Angeles and features a small group of Camarilla agents sent into the 'Free States' to bring them back under Camarilla control. After a year of plotting, the coterie now controls the three North-Eastern Baronies and has successfully weakened several others. Unfortunately other Barons have used the chaos they have created to consolidate their own positions.

--------------------
The now obligatory warning bit - Unlike my other RPG write-ups this one will contain swearing, sexual references and other references that might offend. If you can't tell the difference between real peoples opinions and grown-ups role-playing predators who crave blood then this probably won't be for you. I've also used actual photographs to represent some characters which I'll give acknowledgements to at the end if I've any idea who they are.

As I have written out introductions and dialogue for certain NPC's and some location descriptions I'll post these more or less as I wrote them so they'll be in a 'reading to the group' style and they'll also be in blue so you can tell them apart from the more traditional write-up sections and occasionally an obscure Premonition will turn up in purple. If I think something needs a bit of out of character explanation then those will get a storytellers note that will helpfully be in red. Anything covered via player handouts will also be in blue as they're written in the same style as introductions and the like.

Introduction

'Amethyst' - Caitiff
Destroyed

The Banu Haqim, Daniel has successfully sabotaged the relationship between David Geduld, Baron of Torrance and Amethyst, Baron of Santa Ana. This was accomplished by framing David for attacks against Amethyst and other Los Angeles baronies and then leaking information to mortal authorities about the weapon used.

He then manipulated Amethyst into believing an attack against Allison Maller, Baron of Anaheim and Steve Booth, Baron of Long Beach under a flag of truce was her only hope for victory. Unfortunately her forces had already been reduced considerably without her knowledge and the attack was an abject failure that neither her, nor her diminished forces were to survive.

This has however, left the entire South of Los Angeles in chaos and Daniel has offered the services of his baron as a neutral negotiator to help those effected to reach an amicable solution. Michael has taken on the task at Allison and Steve's request though he has let Daniel know that some forewarning would be appreciated should he ever have a similar idea in the future. Allison Maller and Steve Booth have both requested that any meeting take place in a Pasadena Elysium and is hosted by Michael Tomassio due to his barony being unconnected and therefore neutral and due to his past record as a facilitator.

Scene Nine - Chaos in the South

Hugo Snyder - Autarkis Brujah
Destroyed

The Southern baronies of Los Angeles are in a state of disarray. Amethyst has been destroyed attempting to ambush Steve Booth, Baron of Long Beach and Allison Maller, Baron of Anaheim while they were meeting, supposedly to discuss a peaceful resolution to their difficulties. There is some confusion around how this was accomplished due to the superior capabilities of Amethysts forces, but the rumour-mill seems to attribute it to the abandonment of her by fully half of her kindred followers and the disappearance of Hugo Snyder's mercenaries.

David Geduld was driven into the warrens below Torrance, on the run from federal investigators and the forces of Steve Booth, led by the second of Steve's gangrel hounds, Bilal Yang. They instead found a pile of ash, his torn apart clothing and some of his personal belongings in a blood smeared section of the sewers. It is suspected that the sewer dwelling, Nosferatu diablerists known as the Voiceless Ones may have claimed yet another kindred victim. The scene certainly had all the hallmarks of their 'work'

Vinicius, the only remaining member of Hugo Snyder's mercenaries has joined with the four remaining Gangrel from Amethyst's forces and based themselves at the distribution hub in Huntington, previously acquired by Amethyst as her base within that barony. They have made no claims on the barony of Huntington but will definitely need to be dealt with by anyone who wanted the area for themselves. Vinicius has taken over the assets of Hugo's group and is therefore, more than self sufficient, for the time being.

'Rose' - Caitiff
Currently Missing

Rose and Zipper have disappeared and are presumably in a back-up haven somewhere within Santa Ana after several of Steve's less reliable followers were sent to Amethyst's Santa Ana HQ to locate them and failed to return. All four were found quite dead when a more competent follow-up team was sent to investigate their absences. One of the thin-bloods had been killed via stab wounds to the back while a second had their throat slit rather neatly, also from behind. The remaining pair had been Caitiff. One had been killed by concentrated weapons fire and the other appeared to have been shot, then held down while some-one sawed off their head with a hacksaw that was found nearby.

Harvey Caplan is currently running both docks after Steve's kindred seized control within a few days of the final death of David Geduld being revealed. The remainder of David's forces under the Ventrue Michael Broadhurst, have fallen back to a compound in Palos Verdes Estates that was formally the home of David Geduld. Fortunately for them, there is no official paper-trail linking it to Geduld and so they are safe there from federal investigators. It is also a fortress and they have been using it as a base from which to harry and inconvenience Steve's kindred whenever possible. 

The Gangrel sweepers of Torrance, Kellan and Logan, have disappeared into the urban wetlands surrounding the Madrona Marshes along with the three Caitiff who Geduld had apparently put under their care. Logan has appeared briefly to meet with Hector who has provisionally negotiated a 'We don't fuck with you if you don't fuck with us' agreement. It's unlikely to last but at least it's one less threat for Steve to deal with immediately. Of course the additional problem is that it's quite difficult to move Gangrel once they decide an area is theirs.

David Geduld - Ventrue
Destroyed

'The Oratory' as some are now calling the Gangrel information network has spread the rumour, which now is a fact as far as LA's kindred are concerned, that Geduld was responsible for the death of Tom Weaver and Edward Vignes and had gotten some ideas above his station. They have also been discussing the fact that a few barons who believed that Michael Tomassio's coterie killed Vignes and drove out Vera probably owe them an apology...

In a completely unrelated matter, FAT Larry has been told to get in touch with you as the new location for his business empire is so close to the border between Downtown and Pasadena that Marius has told him he needs to get your permission or "Move a mile, one way or the fucking other..."

Storytellers Note - That was a bit of a monologue, but quite a lot happened in the previous 'solo' session.

Michael has also been informed by Daniel that he had to make several arrangements while eliminating Amethyst as a threat which may complicate the negotiations. Firstly, Allison Maller wants no objections if she expands her Anaheim borders into the now baron-less Santa Ana. She doesn't necessary want it all, but should she wish to acquire some 'real estate' across the border she expects this to be already agreed before any other deals are made. This was the price for her aid in spreading the rumours necessary to draw attention to Geduld's alleged part in the scheme.

Mary - Autarkis Gangrel
'Mother' of the Children of the Wolf

Secondly, Marius Walker, L.A.'s resident 'Fixer' wants a meeting before the negotiations begin and a seat at the table when the actual meeting occurs. Daniel believes that he wants to ensure that the Gangrel that helped the overthrow of Amethyst don't suffer any repercussions.

As he and his childe Mary arranged for them to eliminate Hugo's mercenaries and for the other Gangrel of her barony to be unavailable it would be bad for his reputation should he subsequently abandon them. The bulk of Marius's price in boons had been paid for with Amethyst's final death, though Daniel was still unsure about what she had done to raise his ire.

Thirdly, Steve is looking for David Geduld and expects no objections should he find him and destroy him. Fortunately this particular agreement has been rendered null and void by the discovery that Geduld has met his final death. Steve is however actively pursuing Geduld's followers with varying degrees of success which is likely to complicate negotiations for a peaceful solution.

Realising that the longer he left before scheduling the meeting the more a violent escalation was likely to occur, he arranged for all parties to be present seven evenings from now. This would give him time to arrange some preliminary meetings so as to ensure that he knew the attentions of all present before they were in a room together. He was also aware that the order in which he arranged these meetings would also have political ramifications. He dismissed Daniel and Vin and set himself to the task of navigating the quagmire that he had been left to deal with.

Storytellers Note - Daniel's plan was quite literally... "Amethyst needs to die, Geduld as well. Then Michael and Hertz can sort out all the political fallout and other shit..." Out of character he then amused himself by annoying Michael's player with encouraging phrases such as "Well I've done my bit..."

Interlude - Too Many Barons

Reuben Hart - Ghoul of Mr Hertz
Leader of 'The Apostles' Gang

Diplomacy was of course Michael's forte but this particular meeting was going to be very important. Not only did he need to resolve the situation in order to maintain his useful reputation as an influencer amongst the Anarch's, he also needed to ensure the result advanced the coteries own, long-term goals.

Vin had been ensuring that his own people were well trained in the event of conflict and Mr Hertz had turned the Apostles gang into a highly efficient and well armed, money making machine. Combined with the deterrent of having four Gangrel Sweepers patrolling his borders, Michael's own barony was fairly secure. They were all well aware however that they needed to ensure that baronies that may become a threat in the future were kept weak and disorganised. Those that couldn't be dealt with in this way at the very least needed to have their attentions diverted away from activities in the North East.

Both Allison Maller and Steve Booth were of course mandatory invites to the meeting as they had requested it. Marius Walker had already made an invite as part of the payment for his assisting of Daniel and given the number of unaligned Gangrel in the contested domains would probably have been invited anyway. Neighbouring barons opinions would also need to be considered as it was likely they were already sizing up weakened and baron-less areas for potential expansion. This meant that Louis Fortier, Hank Boyd and Gloria Martinez would need to at least be given the option of attending. This then raised the issue that inviting Hank Boyd, Baron of the Crypt's Sons to a meeting without also asking Jesus Ramirez or some other representative of El Hermandad to attend, might look like a political snub. Despite having no need to breathe, Michael sighed, this was going to be a juggling act of epic proportions.

Daniel sent his ghouled investigators into Torrance to keep an eye on Gedulds remaining forces now under the command of David's former Seneschal, Michael Broadhurst. He warned them to stay at a safe distance but he wanted advance notice of the comings and goings of this rogue element, just in case. The small army of street people under Vin's control had also been dispersed throughout the whole of the South with orders to watch over certain key areas and report back should there be any obvious unusual activity.

Scene Ten - Henrique 'Hank' Boyd

Henrique 'Hank' Boyd - Brujah
Crypt's Sons Baron

Michael was unsurprised to find that all those kindred he had noted as being 'interested parties' had began to make overtures about invites, though some had been less subtle than others. Now he needed to feel out their opinions and personal schemes so he could ensure that he entered the official meeting with the deck already stacked in his favour.

A call to Victoria to arrange a meeting with her 'Fixer' boss had resulted in an appointment for the following evening so he decided to meet up with Hank of the Crypt's Sons first as they already had established a good relationship based on mutual respect.

Vin and Mr Hertz accompanied Michael to an informal meeting with Hank at his ranch where the Crypt's Sons Baron engaged in the more legitimate aspects of his business ventures. Michael first forewarned Hank that there would be a member of El Hermandad at the meeting as well as Gloria Martinez who was an ally of theirs. He explained that this wasn't in any way a reflection of his own loyalties but rather a necessity based on the geography of Los Angeles. Hank understood the political necessity but told Michael that he wouldn't allow himself to be ganged up upon. He also stated that if any additional territory was to be distributed to the neighbours of the Southern baronies that he wouldn't be happy if El Hermandad ended up with "More than their fair share..." Michael assured him that he would ensure that everyone was given a fair hearing.

'Priss' - Brujah
Granted Crypts Sons Domain

He was also now sure that Hank's priority for the meeting was the expansion of his domain and as Steve Booth's barony of Long Beach shared the closest border to the Crypt's Sons, this would need to be handled carefully. While the barons were talking, Vin had took the opportunity to see what the general feeling amongst the other Crypt's Sons Brujah was.

Though he was quite infamous amongst kindred for his brutal methods of problem resolution, he was still respected by his own clan and could often extract useful information through a combination of unsubtle questioning and intimidation. He discovered that the large number of kindred within the Crypt's Sons territory was stretching the masquerade even with how common violence was within Central Los Angeles. This confirmed what Michael suspected about Hank needing to expand. He also discovered that Priss was becoming more vocal in her requests for a larger domain and was currently too useful for Hank to keep denying indefinitely.

Before they left, Mr Hertz let Hank know that he was still looking into the issue of a stranger buying up property within his domain that he had enquired about. The Nosferatu told him that he was right to be concerned as whoever it was had been making a considerable effort to cover their tracks. This had made the task a little more complicated than it had first seemed but he was making progress.

Storytellers Note - This was a subplot introduced for Mr Hertz, that I put on hold when his players real life necessitated him missing a few sessions.

Scene Eleven - 'Damsel'

'Nines' - Brujah
De facto Anarch Baron

Talking to Hank had also bought another idea into Michael's head. Given the amount of Brujah barons, advisers, and no doubt bodyguards, who would be present at the meeting, perhaps a neutral member of that clan might be a useful addition.

Nines would probably have been the best candidate to keep order amongst his clan-mates but given his current feelings about Michael, would be likely to be more of a hindrance than a help on this occasion. Damsel on the other hand was still an admirer of both Michael and Daniel and might be persuaded to take on the task.

Storytellers Note - Nines sees Michael as one of the kindred who has been directly responsible for certain key Free States institutions being undermined. The carving up of the formally neutral territory known as the 'Barony of the Angels' for one.

After picking up Vin, Daniel once more adopted the guise of driver and took Michael and the hulking Brujah to 'The Last Round' bar in Downtown. Michael had been hesitant at first to include Vin as his reputation for the infliction of violent final death was occasionally counterproductive to negotiations as it tended to put other kindred on edge. However, given that Nines wasn't exactly part of the Michael Tomassio fan-club currently, he felt like the extra muscle might come in handy. He'd have liked to bring Hope as well but as she had expressed a desire to be left to her patrol duties for a while he had decided to respect her wishes.

'Damsel' - Brujah
Anarch 'Den Mother'

The music was too loud for Michael's tastes, the bar was the very definition of a dive and that was without even commenting upon the smells of sweat and stale beer. Still, he was here now so might as well get on with it.

Vin panned across the patrons of the bar, pausing at each kindred just long enough for them to be aware that he wasn't there socially and then stationed himself where he had a good view of the bar. Daniel nodded briefly at the Brujah he'd had a difference of opinion with on his last visit. The debate had turned into a brawl and then back into a debate when it turned out that Daniel was much better at both of those things than his opponent had realised. Damsel had thought the whole thing rather amusing though Nines Gangrel right-hand man, Skelter had been less than pleased. Michael caught Damsel's eye and began to walk over.

"You here to see Nines?" Asked Damsel, a vague hint of concern in her voice. "Actually..." Replied Michael. "...I'm here to talk to you. If there's somewhere a bit quieter where we can converse?" Damsel nodded, smiled and then walked over to one of the downstairs booth's which she subtly and diplomatically cleared of patrons. "You pair, fuck off, I need this booth...yes, now..."

'The Last Round' - Downtown
Nines Crew, Base of Operations

Daniel moved closer so as to use his enhanced senses to eavesdrop on the conversation. Vin meanwhile noted that several of the Brujah in one corner were engaged in an arm wrestling contest and were obviously using supernatural abilities to both intimidate their opponents and enhance their strength. Figuring that Michael would be his usual talkative self, Vin decided to see if this was something he could use to occupy the time.

"As you know..." began Michael. "...the South of LA has become a chaotic mess lately and some of the barons have asked me to host a meeting to see if we can resolve the whole situation without anymore bloodshed." Damsel made no comment, so he continued. "Given the amount of Brujah in attendance I thought it might be a good idea to have a member of your clan there who is a neutral party so as to ensure fairness. Yours was the first name that sprang to mind..."

"So you don't want me there just to slap people who get out of line?" She laughed after she made the statement but Michael decided to answer the question anyway, just in case. "Not unless it's absolutely necessary..." Replied Michael. "...It's more that I want a respected member of the Brujah clan there so I, as a member of a different clan, don;t overlook their needs." It was obvious that Damsel liked the idea of being a member of her clan with such a reputation but swiftly covered it up with a scowl and a change of subject.

"Sure, why not. At least it's a change of scenery. Maybe if I like the place, I might spend a bit more time there..." She then punched Michael in the arm which he was unsure how to react to so simply smiled. Fortunately the uncomfortable moment was interrupted by the sound of splintering wood from outside the booth.

Vin had noted that the arm wrestling contest between the Brujah seemed to have no restrictions on discipline use. Mental disciplines were being used for psychological manipulation, while strength and endurance was also been increased by applications of vitae. Vin won his first two contests with a combination of raw physical power and a stare that few could hold for more than a few seconds. His third opponent decided that a verbal attack was a viable tactic and asked Vin what it was like being "The bitch of some Toreador..."

Damsel and Michael emerged from their meeting to find Vin standing over another Brujah whose forearm had been neatly snapped at the half-way mark and whose hand was a pulped mess. The table they had been using had a crack down the middle which gave a good indication of the force used. "Problem?" asked Michael. "I don't know..." said Vin before looking his opponent in the eye. "...is there?" Damsel chose to interrupt and spoke to one of the other Brujah. "Beck, running his mouth again?" The other contestant confirmed that was the case, while Vin somewhat surprisingly helped up the floored kindred by his remaining good arm. Deciding that he really needed to spend more time trying to understand Brujah as a clan, Michael gathered his coterie and they returned to their own barony.

Interlude - More Bang for Your Buck

'Fat' Larry - Fence and Arms Dealer

The minor issue with 'Fat' Larry was quickly resolved as Michael granted him the right to operate within his domain in exchange for preferential consideration on his firearms prices. Traditionally they bought their higher end weapons through the arms dealer 'Mercurio' but Michael didn't really trust him despite him dealing with them fairly up to now.

Mr Hertz had discovered, via his accounting expertise, that Mercurio's legitimate business enterprises were in fact a subsidiary of the Aegis group of companies and that included the legal side of his arms dealing. This connection to Marius was another concern but it did explain why the Gangrel's security teams were all ex-military and exceptionally well armed. The Nosferatu had learned that Mercurio also supplied Louis Fortier's army of ghouls with their body armour and weaponry. This put the ghoul Mercurio in the notable position of being exceptionally well protected and connected. If Michael could reduce the knowledge that Mercurio had of his capabilities by obtaining gear through another source then all the better.

Michael and his coterie were under no illusions about their chances in a direct confrontation against some of the better equipped barons, but fortunately the most dangerous of them were either allies or neutral towards them. For now at least.

Scene Twelve - Marius 'The Fixer' Walker

Victoria - Ghoul of Marius
Personal Assistant and Psychopath

Marius's ever present ghoul assistant Victoria, led them to their scheduled meeting with 'The Fixer' who was waiting in the living area of his large, open-plan penthouse apartment. As expected, his main concern was with the now leaderless Gangrel who were scattered across the baronies of Southern LA.

Michael was aware that Daniel had, via Marius, arranged for the Gangrel amongst Amethyst's forces to abandon her. This was on the condition that they weren't held responsible for any dubious activities that they had undertaken under their previous leaders orders. Vinicius had also destroyed the gang of Hugo Snyder at the 'request' of Marius's childe, Mary. Mary was leader of a group of Lilith worshipping Bahari Gangrel and was obviously someone that Michael and his people wanted to keep on the right side of.

After some preliminary negotiation it became clear that Marius required that the various Gangrel packs be each given either feeding grounds of their own or employment within any newly created baronies. Given that Gangrel made excellent sweepers and census-takers and were notoriously self sufficient, Michael and Daniel were reasonably sure that they could make that work. This was fortunate as Marius had given them the distinct impression that his position on the matter was none negotiable.

Marius Walker - Gangrel
LA 'Fixer' and Baron of Downtown

He did however state that as his responsibilities were expanding, that he would soon require more domain and so he intended to expand his territory outwards. It wasn't lost upon the coterie that the territory he was talking about would mean that he would more or less control what was once the Barony of the Angels. Michael suspected that this had been his intention all along.

This other plan of Marius's would require more effort than relocating a few Gangrel as it would require getting kindred to surrender recently acquired territory. They may see it as preferable than going to war over it but the coterie was sure that if they gained domain during the negotiations over the South then they might be easier to persuade. In order to get them onside, Marius offered to help them with another issue they were facing.

Michael Broadhurst, the Ventrue who was using Geduld's former home was going to be a stumbling block to dividing up that particular barony. The home was a virtual fortress and the Brujah under Broadhurst's control were seasoned fighters. Marius suggested that power to that area could be interrupted in such a way that the back-up generators would also fail. The sewer dwelling horde known as 'The Swarm' could then infiltrate the building through the sewers and "Remove any resistance..."

Michael Tomassio - Toreador
Baron of the North East

Michael Tomassio said that he still hoped for a diplomatic solution and that he couldn't condone such a massacre. A brief moment of eye-contact between Marius and Daniel however, clearly indicated that the Banu Haqim would most definitely bear it in mind as a solution. Trying a different tack, Daniel suggested that inviting the Ventrue to the meeting might make him more amenable to negotiation.

The fact that it would also make him easier to assassinate was of course Daniel's intention. A slight smile showed that this had also occurred to 'The Fixer' himself. Daniel's baron however seemed to take the suggestion at face value.

Storytellers Note - Michael's player is currently maintaining his characters high Humanity through carefully managed 'plausible deniability' and just plain, not asking how things got done, lol.

With yet another of the attendee's motivations and desires now known to him, it was time to meet Steve Booth and see what his intentions were. While he and Mr Hertz weighed up the political problems, Vin and Daniel began to consider how to deal with any problems should it all go hideously wrong...

To be Continued in 'The Southern Solution (Part Three)'

In Conclusion

I like to do a round-up of how the session went in these features but if you couldn't give a shit what I think then feel free to skip this bit...

I'm still unsure how the coterie is going to manage this political juggling act as they still have several barons to feel out before the actual meeting. Having some advance knowledge of everyone's motivations was a good idea but as I was expecting them to skip straight to a meeting I had to wing a lot of this...well...almost all to be honest...

This story should be wound up during the next session where we'll see if all their hard work was for nothing or if they manage to somehow keep all the various elements happy while still advancing their own agenda.
