Mother Isis - 1200

[Rule Hound]

Petitioning Low Clan NPC's in Trieste to vote for her.

Done, their support will come through Morbus assuming she meets his price.



You have a vision. You spend several nights re-living this. Of Carthage prior to it's fall.

A great and mighty Brujah standing in their pompous glory. A Toreador putting brush to canvas. The Brujah shrinking and slightly shriveling. A Malkavian dreaming and watching the scene, laughing in mad glee as a elephant stomps on the throne of the Brujah. They shrivel just a little bit more. A Ventrue heaping great tithes at their feet. As each coin is counted the Brujah shrivels a little more. The shadows loom over.

A Nosferatu peeking out of a mouse hole. Skittering over to the shrunken Brujah. Squeaking in their ear. In weak despair the Brujah nods. The mouse departs only to return with a wolf chasing on it's heals. The mouse runs through the pile of treasure. The Wolf following scatters the coins and gems in puffs of smoke.

The Brujah Grows stronger. The mouse confronts a man of alien beauty. They wave their hand and there are several mice. Then take one and it grows. Altering it they set this new monstrosity down. Then take up another and another. The mouse charges off. The mouse/monster creatures follow the mouses lead. Charging across the landscape they find the toreador waving his canvas as you would at a bull. Following the mouse Charging they rip right through turning the canvas to smoke.

The Brujah grows stronger.

The appears in the dream bubble of the Malkavian. Jumping on the throne as the foot descends. The mouse calls to a colorfully dressed woman dancing in flowing skirts. Each time she spins another throne is created. The Elephant is confused and stampedes shattering the dream cloud into a broken mirror of repeated images.

The Brujah grows.

The little mouse once again steps out of it's hole, now a cave. It becomes hideously deformed as the veil slips from its body.

The Nosferatu points at first the Wolf/now gangrel, then at the Tzmitze, then the Ravnos and several other similar images. Each in turn look to the Nosferatu awaiting it's next action.

The Nosferatu looks to the Brujah who then nods their head in deep respect and agreement. The others take up the Brujah, place them on their throne as the Nosferatu returns to his cave.

He reaches up and pulls a shadowy form from the entrance roof of his cave. And drags it with him as he disappears within.

Such a poor family to have fallen to their second son.

Bu the good news is that the Mortal leaders of Trieste are about to find a hitherto unknown Female Heir. Daughter to the Patriarch and the woman who became his Mistress after his wife died 20 years ago. They didn't officially marry and kept the child out of the public eye so as not to cause resentment in the other childer from his original wife.

Seems that using her stipend the Lady who goes by the name of Louisa Isis kindly known as Mother Isis by those who know her well, has been doing great things in the area through her faithful servant Deacon Jonah. Mother Isis though affiliated to the Convent has maintained a personal residence in the City while the Deacon has lived at the Convent.

With the Death of her family she has agreed to move to the Estate and take over the family holdings on the condition that the flock who resides at the Convent move in with her.

You are now the proud owner of another Haven

Haven x 3.5 (Size, Staff, Security, Holy Ground)
You have a Cult, are indoctrinated into the Road of Sin. This grants you 5 free dots in Resources. You have a temple your main building and estate encompass this now. The grounds are considered Holy (this affects other people with certain flaws). Spend day in temple and 3 blood, heal 2 aggravated instead of 1.

In addition Deacon Jonah is a 3 pt retainer tied to the cult. He has Seneschal, Commerce and Scrounge) He is a ghoul and as such will cost you a blood a year to upkeep. He will maintain your "fortunes and Haven". However he is not useable as your downtime to the city and is tied to only your estate.

BUT If you wish to make him a normal retainer You can purchase him at half cost. (3xp)

You keep your backup haven, your original haven x 2.



Believe me, buying that cult you got one hell of a deal.

Downtime 2. try to stem the flow of the Plague


You work tirelessly, your cult keeping in contact with the mortals during the day.

With the little (just starting not fully there yet) influence Jaak is gaining with the watch commander you manage to convince them to casually inspect the people coming in for signs of plague and quarantine anyone who does turn up showing signs.
With the discrete inspction of all merchant caravans things are going smooth and very few feathers are ruffled.

It is difficult with all the building going on and explosion but your work seems to be paying off. In the last while very few residents have show signs of the Plague.


ST NOTE: I did not require any tests as the spread of the plague was slowed down due to the botches suffered from Raetus in his downtime actions. A botch to his desire to increase the rat population thus increasing the plague.
