The Banu Haqim discovers that the Vignes retainer Henry has secrets of his own and the gallery prepares to host a special guest.

A dangerous method to break Vignes power is discovered and a high price is asked for the mundane weapons they'll need to take advantage of the opportunity.

The coterie and their allies find that sometimes the cure is as deadly as the disease...

Story Three: 'Becoming Baron'

Explanations are required after the explosive end to the Vignes reign in Pasadena and the price for Mariel St. Johns support of the coterie is as steep as expected.

Reconnaissance into the enemies of Mariel and Sophia is undertaken, a Gangrel named Hope seeks employment and an assault upon the Sabbat is undertaken

The coteries triumph is short-lived as a loose end is uncovered.

The coteries neighbouring barons the Blount sisters are met and efforts are put into place to make Pasadena their own as opportunist enemies attempt to fill the power vacuum.

The enemy of the Nosferatu is cornered and the power behind him is revealed.

The kindred of Los Angeles gather for the 'Rant' where the coterie plans to declare Michael the baron of Pasadena and we'll see if all their scheming has been enough...

Part Four
With the events within Los Angeles looking more and more like one giant conspiracy to facilitate a takeover of the city the coterie finds themselves in a race against time to locate and neutralise whoever is responsible.

--------------------

--------------------

Part One

Daniel has plans to prevent this, plans of which his baron would never approve...

The Nosferatu elder, Alonzo believes he has discovered the secret to Jeremy MacNeils power over the other barons and the ease with which the Masquerade was maintained while he was the defacto baron of Los Angeles. The coterie have been contacted to assist their ally with verifying this theory...

Gary Golden's price for the information the coterie requires is the destruction of the ghouls, blood bound and dregs left behind by the Mistress of the Swarm. They are currently infesting the warrens below Hollywood and need eliminating before they become a permanent fixture.

The coterie has received the information they earned from Gary Golden and are ready to begin investigating the former Havens of Jeremy MacNeil for clues to the system with which he monitored and controlled L.A..

The coterie discover they have two new groups of rivals, also in search of MacNeils secrets. Unfortunately, at least one of these seems to now somehow be ahead of them.

The coterie's understanding with the MacNeils is short-lived and results in the issuing of an invitation that they cannot refuse. At least not without consequences...

The stakes are raised as a competitor is eliminated and the involvement of a mysterious new potential ally greatly concerns Michael, but for reasons he cannot reveal to his allies. It also seems apparent that they have once again crossed paths with the sinister megacorporation known as Pentex.

The coterie attempt to recruit the elusive Gangrel guide known simply as 'Crow' for their upcoming mission into suspected Werewolf territory. They are also called to task by Isaac Abrams for Daniel's continual trespass's into his domain without the courtesy of asking permission first.

Interlude One - 'After Griffiths Park'

The coterie receives a warning from Carmelita that their enquiries into Isaac Abrams have attracted the attention of the Toreador Justicar, and also discover that Velvet Velour has surprising levels of influence with a number of Barons and that she has been using it on their behalf...

Part Nine

The location of MacNeil's System is finally in their hands. They have a guide, all their painstakingly gathered clues and a small armoury of weapons. Now they merely have to get in and out of Griffith Park while avoiding a tribe of werewolves known as the Black Spiral Dancers.

Part Ten

Before the coterie gets a chance to enjoy the long sought after computer system with which Jeremy MacNeil kept tabs on Los Angeles, they are interrupted by a pack of Werewolves. These Bone Gnawers are hunting a pack of enemies from a tribe known as the Black Spiral Dancers. It seems that a reckoning between the werewolf tribes is about to occur...and the coterie is right in the middle of it's ground zero...

Interludes

The Kindred baronies begin to gradually re-establish their activities after lying low during the werewolf civil war. Many realise that this is an ideal time to get ahead of any rivals who may be slower to react.

Interlude Two - 'Divide and Conquer'

The coterie has decided that since they currently lack the resources to get ahead of their revivals they are instead going to sabotage the progress of those who are currently the biggest threats. Their starting point is therefore Victor Girard, the power behind El Hermandad's Baron.

Interlude Three - 'On the Brink of War'

Michael is making a last ditch attempt to stop a war between two alliances of Baronies breaking out in the centre of Los Angeles. In a possibly dangerous move he has decided to meet directly with the kindred leaders involved.

--------------------

--------------------
'Conquest LA' - Chronicle Four
Story Twenty One: 'Veni, Vidi, Victor'

The coterie is now fully focussed on undermining Victor Girard, Media Magnate and would be power behind the Barons of Los Angeles. However to do this they need allies and Michael has learned of a vampiric artefact that would gain them considerable favour with the Baron of Hollywood, Isaac Abrams.

The coterie begins to doubt the intentions behind several apparently benevolent schemes of Victor's and share their suspicions with Marius. Meanwhile, 'Max', one of the North East's newest residents has an unfortunate encounter with some trespassers. Unfortunate for the trespassers that is...

The coterie attempt the risky strategy of turning Baron Gloria Martinez of El Hermandad and Baron Allison Maller of Anaheim against their advisor Victor Girard. Neither of the two childer of Salvador Garcia are particularly easy to convince however...

The coteries scheme to undermine their rival Victor Girard requires them to broaden the scope of their plan considerably. Old favours are called in and new allies are asked for boons which will be repaid with the bloody fruits of their successes...

Part Five - Solo Session

The plan to weaken Victor's power base by crippling his media empire requires Daniel to engage in a number of clandestine operations that his Baron can plausibly deny knowledge of...in the event that he fails...

With Victor's media empire destroyed and his influence crippled, the coterie must deal with the resulting civil war within El Hermandad and the retaliations of an enemy now aware of exactly of who is to blame for his current misfortunes...

Epilogue

The disruptions to the Anarch Free States created by the destruction of Victor and his allies has consequences of it's own as the balance of power within the city changes once more.

Story Twenty Two: 'The Unbound'

As the Free States re-establish themselves with one less manipulative force in play, the coterie uses the chaos and uncertainty to pursue their own schemes and powerplays.

The coterie locates a kindred in search of their lost childe. A childe apparently taken by the Unbound ghouls known as The Young Bloods...

Vannevar's forces have taken San Jose from the Anarchs and the few survivors of the attack now seek refuge in Los Angeles. Meanwhile the Unbound ghouls of The Young Bloods have taken advantage of the confusion to further their own goals...

Michael attempts to use the situation in San Jose to further his plan to form a council of Anarch Barons, a council that hopefully someone with appropriate skills can guide in the right direction...

Story Twenty Three: 'The War Council'

Michael's plan to use the invasion of San Jose by the Camarilla Prince of San Francisco to form an Anarch Council has began. Gloria Martinez and Allison Maller have already agreed to join such a council though they have some conditions of their own...

The concept of an Anarch War Council has gone from mere theory to fact and now thirteen of the most powerful kindred in the city are converging on Downtown to discuss how to eliminate the Camarilla from Los Angeles. Ironically the location for the meeting is Venture Tower, once the haven of the last Prince to attempt to hold sway over the city...

With several Baronies without leadership and others severely weakened, the Anarch Council has some difficult decisions to make before it can stage a counter-attack against the Camarilla forces threatening the Anarch Free States.

Interlude Session - 'Recon'

The loyalty of the none Anarch factions within the city is called to question as discussion of the Camarilla invasion of Los Angeles continues. In addition, Prince Vannevar Thomas's method of infiltrating the city so completely may have been discovered...

Story Twenty Four: 'Resistance'

Daniel has tasked his two ghouls with scouting out the construction site currently being used by the Camarilla to infiltrate the Anarch Free States. Though they have the advantage of being able to operate during the day, the mission is still a dangerous one.

The Anarch Council have agreed to gather the best covert operatives from a number of different Baronies. Their goal is the infiltration and investigation of one of the suspected staging points for the Camarilla's imminent invasion from within of the Anarch Free States of Los Angeles.

Michael enters the Nosferatu Warrens below Hollywood to awaken The Crypts Sons Baron from torpor. Meanwhile an idea is put forward to bring order to an increasingly fractured Anarch Council though not all the Barons are happy with the suggested solution...

With The Unbound Ghoul gang 'The Young Bloods' attacking Baronies on Vannevar's behalf and all connections to his involvement being systematically eliminated, it is clear that the assault upon the Anarch Free States is imminent.

The Anarchs are busy implementing a bold plan to pre-empt this insidious attack. It involves a high profile assassination and one hell of an explosion...

Hope and Vin head to Peter Kwan's base of operations with the intention of bringing his unlife to an abrupt end as a message to his sire Jochen Van Nuys, leader of the Camarilla's operations against the Anarch Free States. Unfortunately they aren't the only kindred interested in Peter's activities...

Interlude One - Damage Limitation

It's time for the Anarchs to strike an explosive blow against the leader of the Camarilla enemies who have infiltrated their domain...

Interludes

The Anarch Free States have once more been plunged into chaos. Masquerade breaches are becoming more and more likely as incidents of violence between kindred occur citywide between the Anarchs and the Camarilla invaders.

Fortunately for the coterie, they have recently acquired a tool to assist their fellow Baronies, as long as their allies are willing to pay the price that is...

Interlude Two - 'The Killing Spree'

Two individuals awake to find themselves buried in a clearing in the mountains. With no knowledge of who they are, how they got there or what their captors have in store for them they have no choice but to try and survive long enough to discover what they have become...

Story Twenty Five: 'Persona Agendas'

Baron Tomassio and his coterie have been authorised by the Anarch Council to meet with the Camarilla Negotiator, Kelvin Wee. Their goal is to arrange a summit between the leaders within San Francisco and those of Los Angeles in order to end their mutual hostilities before the Sabbat can take advantage of two cities weakened by war.

There are now seven Camarilla representatives and their entourages within Los Angeles. With only one night before their summit with the Anarchs, the coterie, who are hosting the meeting at Michaels succubus club, still have much preparation left to do. Though the seven guests certainly have their own agendas, so do the seven Anarch Barons who will be seated across from them…

Tonight is the night when the fate of three cities will be decided. Seven Camarilla representatives and seven Anarch Barons are meeting in the offices above the Succubus Club in Hollywood. Failure to reach an agreement will spell disaster for all concerned and the Anarch Council is preparing for all out war in that eventuality. No doubt the Camarilla have made similar preparations...

Story Twenty Six: 'Strange Bedfellows'

With the Camarilla successfully expunged from the city, the changes in the balance of power bought about by their interference has resulted in new alliances being sought amongst the Barons. There are also those outside the city seeking to take advantage of an L.A. they see as a weakened Anarch domain.

The failed attack upon the coterie by The Young Bloods unbound Ghoul gang left a single survivor. Daniel has been tasked with obtaining as much information from them as possible, by whatever means necessary. Meanwhile, rumours of two potential new disruptions to the Anarch Free States have come to the coteries attention.

The coterie has extracted information from their Young Bloods prisoner that paints a clearer picture of the resources available to this gang of Unbound Ghouls. Hopefully this will help with their upcoming negotiations with The Circulatory System who also wish an end to the Young Bloods activities.

A summit is needed to prevent Priss, Baron of The Border and Hank Boyd, Baron of The Crypts Sons going to war. As the Baron of Downtown is the driving force behind Priss's ambitions it is he, not her that the coterie needs to convince of the benefits of a diplomatic solution.

Unfortunately, other elements would very much like the meeting to fail...

With the destruction of the traitorous Crypts Son, Kayne Lowe, and his Sabbat allies, the Barons and their followers move to the relative safety of Downtown in order to complete their negotiations. The hidden past of The Crypts Sons and their founder is revealed...

With Vin and Mr Hertz assisting Hank with the rebuilding of The Crypts Sons, the coterie is sure that their progress can be guided in the right direction. Meanwhile, Michael is searching for a replacement for Daniel during his, hopefully temporary, absence.

Story Twenty Seven: 'The Fiorenza Sanction'

The coterie are preparing for a visit to Los Angeles by their sponsor, the Camarilla power broker, Fiorenza Savona. Not only must they conceal this from the Anarch Barons, but also from the Sabbat who have made their presence known within the city and for whom Fiorenza would be a grand prize indeed...

While contemplating Fiorenza Savona's offer of a sanctioned Diablerie, Michael receives an invitation to the mansion of Baron Louis Fortier to discuss a mutual threat.

Michael finally makes a decision on the sanctioned diablerie offered by Fiorenza Savona...

Story Twenty Eight: 'The Hunters Hunted'

While two coterie members prepare for a mission against the Unbound Ghouls who call themselves The Young Bloods, the threat of the Sabbat also rears it's head. But as the Sabbat hunt the Anarchs of Los Angeles, the Anarch Barons have their own plans for removing this threat. Unfortunately for all concerned, Los Angeles has a predator with it's own agenda...

Michael has despatched a team to finally end the Young Bloods threat. Vin and Hope are the offensive part of the mission, but in the absence of Daniel, the support aspects are under the control of the Nosferatu Hacker, Eric.

Meanwhile, other elements with their own agendas threaten to complicate matters.

After fighting their way through the mortal 'Prospects' of the Young Bloods gang, the team must now face those full-blooded gang members enhanced by the vitae of their kindred prisoners.

Back in Pasadena, Michael has received a visitor with news of a third party who may be about to attempt to take the spoils of his agents work for themselves...

With Eric's technical support, Hope and Vin have penetrated deep into the base of the Young Bloods where they have discovered the cells of the gangs kindred prisoners. Now they must face the gangs leaders and their unexpected new allies.

Back at Hallowbrook, Daniel is introduced to an unusual kindred who may be able to help with his quest for redemption...

The coterie now has nearly a dozen kindred to get back to their rightful havens and homes. Unfortunately the Circulatory System is not yet ready to completely surrender their claim to two of the most important former Young Bloods prisoners.

Epilogue

The former prisoners of the now defeated unbound ghoul gang are being restored to their homes, while Eric and Zipper wade through the information that they have retrieved from their bunker. 'Romulus', first of the gangs victims, and the one whose fate inspired the rescue, is also finally being taken home to his sire...

Solo Session: 'Michael'

The Barony of the Angels

Michael has arranged a meeting of the Anarch Council at the behest of the Baron of Downtown. Marius apparently has plans to restore the disbanded Barony of the Angels, but what reason could the notoriously pragmatic Baron have for implementing such a radical change to his own domain?

Solo Session: 'Daniel'

The Salubri Tomes

A kindred of the Salubri Clan has offered to assist in Daniel's quest to restore his humanity. Her price is a tome, hidden below a supposedly abandoned temple, deep within the Santa Monica Mountains...an area protected by a werewolf tribe known as the Black Furies...

Story Twenty Nine: 'Methuselah'

Marius's creation of a reimagined Barony of the Angels has fundamentally changed the Free States in a number of expected and unexpected ways. Meanwhile, Daniel is beginning to consider re-joining the coterie as he has learned that forces both inside and outside L.A. have their own ideas about who should control the city...

Part Three - Solo Session

The coterie is scouring the city for information on the mysterious new threat to the city that seems to be lurking behind every new rumour they hear...

Michael has made excuses to see some of his more consistently useful sources of information, Vin is meeting up with Toreador Madame's known as 'The Blossoms' and Daniel has approached Marius's predatory grandechilde Meredith who recently returned from a successful infiltration of The Sabbat...

Daniel is offered a chance to learn exactly what Marius's plan to deal with the Sabbat is. Unfortunately there's a catch. Specifically, he has to accompany 'The Fixer' on his next reconnaissance and get his answers first hand...

Eric Moore, Nosferatu Hacker, has been contacted by his Mawla Ambrus Maropis to facilitate a communication between Camarilla archivist Carmelita Neillson and Eric's current employer, Baron Michael Tomassio.

Meanwhile the Sabbat are seemingly planning to take revenge for their recent losses...

Michael is forced to share with the coterie his knowledge of the presence of an elder kindred who has been shaping Los Angeles from behind the scenes since it's very beginning. Also his suspicions that something even more ancient is in the city seeking this mysterious creature with vengeance in mind...

The coterie now needs all the allies it can get, but who can they actually trust?

Despite the rest of the coterie being made aware of the presence of a vengeful Methuselah within Los Angeles, the threat of the Sabbat is still something that must be dealt with. With this in mind, Hope accompanies Daniel as he gathers allies to deal with both threats.

Michael plans to finally discover what part his 'sister' has to play in the plotting's of Isaac Abram's and intends to do so via sorcerous means. However there are others in L.A. who are willing to ensure this information remains undisclosed via any means necessary...

'Anarchs' - Session Three

Michael desperately searches for a way to break the Methuselah's hold over his 'Sister of the Blood' Sofia and is forced to seek the aid of a most unorthodox kindred. Their enemy however is unwilling to allow such an interesting plaything to escape his grasp...

Part Nine

An unusually vivid premonition has Michael convinced that the coterie is nearly out of time. Allies must be gathered and his sister must be freed now because the confrontation with the Methuselah must happen before daybreak tomorrow or the Anarch Free States will surely fall...

Part Ten

The coterie have been invited to the Haven of the Toreador Methuselah Sir Matthew Lubbock, though only Michael has been given permission to enter the mansions inner sanctum. If Michael's vision is to be trusted then of the seven kindred who will be within that room, only four will ever leave...

Epilogue

The Toreador Methuselah, Sir Matthew Lubbock, has been destroyed and his followers eliminated. Yet amongst the Anarchs there are still those who have gained power and those who have lost it, and others who have been taking advantage of the situation since the very beginning...

--------------------

'Galerie Sanguine: San Francisco'

'Anarchs' - Session Zero

Baron Michael Tomassio of L.A. has recruited two Anarch's to represent the new 'Galerie Sanguine' branch of his gallery planned for San Francisco. Hopefully this will be the first of many such franchises, if they can overcome the obstacles placed in their way by the Camarilla who already rule the city that is...

'Anarchs' - Session One

It is time for the Anarchs of the 'Galerie Sanguine' to present themselves to the Prince of the Camarilla held city of San Francisco and face the critical eye of the harpies who will ultimately decide if they are 'in' or if they are 'out'...

'Anarchs' - Session Two

The Anarchs receive an invite to an exclusive club and find themselves neck deep in an internecine battle between the Keeper of Elysium and one of her 'loyal' Harpy followers...

The Anarchs have an invitation to the grand opening of controversial artist Malaki's new exhibition, courtesy of the Harpy Sarina.

As they pursue their own schemes, they find themselves also advancing those of the Keeper of Elysium's rival, and supposed friend, Sarina. Unfortunately the Harpy has ensured that two plots are irrevocably tied to one another leaving the Anarchs no choice but to assist her, whether they wish to or not...

'Anarchs' - Session Four

An opportunity has arisen to implement their plan to remove Malaki as a threat to the Masquerade. Unfortunately this also necessitates the removal of the cities most powerful Harpy, who also happens to be the Keeper of Elysium for almost all of San Francisco...

'Blood Cults of L.A.' - Chronicle Five
