Through his creativity, Berka has managed to kill or scare away basically everything and largely completed his adventure.

*claps*

It's actually hilarious because the goal of the adventure was to run away from everything, but he just killed it all

Oooh, you're right! And as Heldric is the only one Steeple trusts, he'd be happy to help.

The outline for Steeple's sidequest:

Dangerous Ground

(A Story for Tremere Characters and Their Allies)

Celestyn asks the characters to accompany him to a site where he proposes to mount an excavation attempt. His object is in the remains of a pagan temple that, according to his research, might contain important clues about the Tzimisce's ancient sorceries.

Accompanied by several ghoul retainers (who are charged to protect them throughout the daylight hours), the group travels to a hilltop overlooking the city of Sighis and begins the task of searching for the ruined temple.They are trespassing unknowingly on the domain of Rostog, a Tzimisce voivode.

Unless the characters and Celestyn take precautions to keep their presence a secret, they will attract the attention of Rostog. The enraged voivode will send a horde of disfigured ghouls (both human and animal) against the characters and their retainers. The attackers hope to kill the retainers, thus making it more difficult for the characters to keep themselves safe during the day.

If the characters are still there the next evening, Rostog, accompanied by his brood, will descend upon them. Should the characters survive the assault, they may continue their excavation, either uncovering the ruin and the treasure it contains or freeing some minor malevolent being (not Kupala) from its long confinement.

Many, many modifications made on the original.

Outline for Heldric's quest:

Into the Mountains

A local Tzimisce voivode enlists the assistance of the characters to secure a castle for his new haven. He has already selected the fortress, an apparently abandoned tower in the Transylvanian Alps. He does not tell the characters of the rumors that the castle is haunted, but he hopes that they can eliminate whatever impediments might exist.

The castle is haunted by the ghosts of its former inhabitants, all murdered by the Tremere from nearby Ceoris, who wished to get rid of unwanted neighbors. Depending on the characters' reactions to the strange noises, unexpected cold places, and other wraithly manifestations, the wraiths may reveal themselves to the characters. In doing so, the characters may learn more than is healthy about Ceoris, though the ghosts know nothing about its exact location or defenses.

If the Tremere from Ceoris learn of the presence of Cainites in the ruined castle, they may decide to take matters into their own hands. An alliance between dead and undead may be necessary to forestall disaster for the characters.

Many modifications made here too. You guys will see when I release Heldric and Steeple's story from the private boards, they're nearly done.

Drakilian · « **Reply #1213 on:** March 11, 2016, 11:28:49 pm »

Actually, know what? I'll just release them any way - even Aman's. Want to give you guys some good reading material, and since there's no chance your sidequests will interfere with each other, might as well.

Drakilian · « **Reply #1214 on:** March 11, 2016, 11:32:55 pm »

If you're comfortable with me moving the private OOC into the side quest thread, I'll do that as well. Otherwise not.

Next post O make for Heldric is an epilogue post. Any conversations with the archmage or Andreas or Sicilan can be had now if you want to pass the time, otherwise just wait.

They were both fairly weak and young though, the Tremere still being a new bloodline. The council members are a whole other thing since they have been diablerizing methuselahs and stealing their powers that way.

Huh. So they probably all have really high levels of Vissectitude? ~~the true black hand is scared~~

Drakilian · « **Reply #1225 on:** March 12, 2016, 03:48:49 pm »

Viscissitude you mean? And they mostly take Koldun's, but yeah, all of them drank from "infected" Tzimisce in the lore.

Drakilian · « **Reply #1228 on:** March 12, 2016, 04:03:27 pm »

Figured Heldric's would get some love because of all the Mage references (Abner, Yehuda, Sicilan, the Nephandii stronghold).

You disappoint me. Skipping torture like that.

Oh yeah buddy. Didnt notice the abner and yehuda ones tho. Need to go through it again ha ha

Drakilian · « **Reply #1230 on:** March 12, 2016, 04:09:09 pm »

Basically, back when Goratrix was still a mortal, Abner tried to kill him because he was such an evil bastard. Goratrix, being a powerful archmage, tore Abner to pieces and would have killed him if not for Yehuda coming in and Sicilan holding Goratrix off. Yehuda and Abner got away, Sicilan was given to Epistatia as her first bound wraith, the chains placed on him made by Epistatia and powered by Goratrix's own magic.

It's been nearly a hundred years since then, of course.

Not Aman · « **Reply #1231 on:** March 12, 2016, 04:17:43 pm »

All seriousness though, at this point they're probably either both dead or both archmages with angelic and demonic followers.

All the more reasons to have heldric try and meet them! Superppowerful beings helping us! (Or at least, Abner prolly would. Yehuda would just use us for blood, ha ha)

Drakilian · « **Reply #1237 on:** March 12, 2016, 04:44:04 pm »

Abner would try to wipe you all out until your sires (Basilio, Malachite and Sandor) would have to join up and kill him.

Yehuda would try to use you, which would be much worse.

At this point Yehuda and Abner have already started warring against each other, in my mental timeline.

Not Aman · « **Reply #1238 on:** March 12, 2016, 04:49:33 pm »

Yeah, I guess Abner would prolly blame vampirism for his brother's corruption (which honestly wouldnt be that far off the mark), so destroying everyone would make sense.

See, I never really saw Abner and Yehuda fighting until really far off. Always thought it'd be an uneasy alliance against the enemies of the jews (esp with the crusades going on).

Drakilian · « **Reply #1239 on:** March 12, 2016, 04:52:48 pm »

It would be that way if Yehuda or Abner had a choice, probably. But Abner wants to cleanse Yehuda, and thus attacks and destroys his servants - and Yehuda fights back because he needs his servants to accomplish his goals. The situation escalates and, as they are pushed forward by their respective future possessors (Lucifer and the archangels who fear his rise), Abner and Tehuda are forced into clearer and more obvious fights. Abner fights desperately to free Yehuda. Yehuda doesn't want to kill Abner but he can't let him get what he wants. You end up with a reluctant war on both fronts.

Basically, neither finds the other irredeemable as of yet.

Not Aman · « **Reply #1240 on:** March 12, 2016, 05:00:27 pm »

I hear. Esp with Yehuda being very unsubtle, he'd probably force Abner's hand. Don't think Abner would start the war. He was always passive in a way. Yehuda would have to do something big (prolly kill the pope) that makes Abner feel that he has to save his brother now.

Drakilian · « **Reply #1241 on:** March 12, 2016, 05:05:00 pm »

Yehuda wouldn't get anywhere near the pope. He'd burn alive just trying to enter the Vatican

See, they would be perfect ghouls! Abner couldn't see him coming cos no mental abilities then just use Abner to trick Yehuda under premise of ending the war and ghoul him too.

Next side quest sorted!

Drakilian · « **Reply #1246 on:** March 12, 2016, 07:23:28 pm »

Forge, I'm not going to bother to roll because I have no further conflict planned here, so if you want your powers to work, they work

(unless you try and attack Tiberiu or something).

Side note: I'll rule that you can see spirits of the dead with the first power if they're present in the way Sicilan and the archmage are (that is, nearly past the veil), but otherwise the power line is just for umbral spirits.
