Events: It was night two of the week-long festivities hosted by His Majesty Principe Boccasavia. The night started much like the previous. A kindred, apparently not of Rome, gathered an audience as he told fanciful and fantastic stories of his alledged exploits around the world. He drew everyone's attention when he loudly and for all the room to hear proclaimed that "Il Principe cadrà!", the Prince will fall.

Following this outburst he returned to his storytelling, though most of his audience wisely withdrew from his presence. Scheneshal Banderali reacted by telling the closest group of neonates to get rid of the problematic kindred as soon as possible. The neonates swarmed around the storyteller and they all withdrew to one of the side rooms on the upper floor. After some time the foreign kindred returned to the main room and promptly walked up to the Prince, sat down on the armrest of his chair, slung one arm around him and appeared to have a short chat with a rather nervous-looking Boccasavia. After this the foreign man got up and left the room by the main doors, only interrupted by him saying something and handing a note to a ghoul. The flock of neonates followed, exchanged a few words with the ghoul and left. The Prince quickly retired to his own quarters. The ghoul belonged to a Signor Avogadri and the note, which quickly became public knowledge, read simply "D2 to D4".

Rumors say that the foreign kindred called himself Zagreus and that he most likely was an ancient known as the Methuselah. He is said to bring change and chaos with him wherever he travels.

The neonates returned much later the same night. Apparently they had kept Zagreus busy and entertained for the majority of the night and then persuaded him to leave Roma. Exactly how they managed this has not been explained to anyone. The night ended with Prince Boccasavia commanding that everyone in the room (being most of the city's kindred population) would refrain from conspiring against him.

A few nights later Messer Rosselini could confirm that Zagreus had left Italia and was well on his way to the newly founded state of Israel.

• Signor Lorenzo Marveli (Torstein)

• Signora Mosca (Hilde)
• Signora Rafaela (Gry)
• Signor Vincent Hunter, aka Vincent

One week later: Signor Marveli, the owner of a popular nightclub, had requested the aid of Signore Rafaela and Mosca as well as Signori Pisani, Sangiovanni, and "Vincent" as an area of his night club had been rented for the entire night by the heads of the Ribera and Corleone families, two of the three powerful mafia families in Roma. From the Ribera family came Leone Androetti, their Capo Famiglia (Boss), Luca Arezo, their Consigliere (Advisor), Luigi Scarpa, their Sotto Capo (Underboss), and four Soldats (made men). From the Corleone family came Hargio Corleone, their Capo Famiglia, Lorenzo <?>, their Consigliere, Giulio Zarlino, their Sotto Capo, Giuliano Rosselini Sangiovanni, one of the Capodecini (Captains), and four Soldats, including Antonio Rosselini.
After some both tense and boring hours Franco Rossi showed up, he's the sotto capo for the Castelvetrano family. He had with him ten goons, made men all of them, but seemed less interested in shooting the place up and more in finding out what was going on. Eventually he was let up to speak with the bossed and he was allowed to stay. The meeting dragged on and didn't conclude until the three sides had gotten a more neutral viewpoint in how to devide certain areas of the city between them from Signori Pisani, Sangiovanni, and, in particular, Vincent.
At various points throughout the night Signori Sangiovanny and Hunter, and Signora Rafaela were hanging around what appeared to be a slightly unusual mortal girl with an interesting book. At least two of them will likely feel embarrased later on when they encounter the girl again at elysium.

OOC Notes: Aner ikke hvem sitt synspunkt disse tekstene skrives fra. Det virker litt som jeg endte opp med en sorts "Giuliano prøver å være objektiv og informativ". Jah... Åja, og <?> betur at jeg ikke rakk å notere navnet og glemte å spørre om det senere. Whups. Det virket litt som om jenta med boka (som førvrig har obfuscate 2+ og er med i Circle of the Crone) var en massiv sidetrack. :P

One week later: As a favour to <Seneschal Banderali?> four neonates had agreed to play nannies for the children of Andriono Diavoli and wife. Andriono works as a lawyer for the kindred of Rome, particularly when our interests crash with the Castelvetrano family. The Diavoli children were Nino at nine, and Silvana at four. Due to Claudia's appearence, she was embraced at a mere nine years of age, she was introduces as a mortal child for whom we others were also to watch that night.
Long story short: the children were a nightmare. After having knocked over a bookcase in the library, as well as worse things, they managed to escape and go towards the local cinema, which was having a late night showing of Dracula vs. Frankenstein (*). In an attempt to follow them Signora Claudia managed to dismember a couple of the guard dogs. Signor Antonio Rosselini and Signore Mosca and Claudia then took Messer Rosselini's automobile to find the little bugg... angels. Messer Rosselini and Signor Reynolds remained at the mansion to clean up, but Signor Reynolds headed out to help the ladies and the ghoul some time later.
The children were easily found by the cinema, right as an unknown nosferatu were trying to snatch them away. The ladies dealt with the nosferatu and right as Claudia followed Nino into the cinema Rosselini and Mosca saw Silvana being hauled into a black automobile with three men in suits inside. Rosselini sped after as though his Regnant's reputation might be at stake. Unknown to all Signora Mosca was already clinging to the roof of the speeding automobile, hidden from both mortal and kindred sight. After a short but hectic chase both vehicles stopped in a mostly abandoned area. All three kidnappers exited the vehicle, among them one Maximillian Potenza of the Castelvetrano family, and pulled out tommy guns. Antonio Rossolini hid behind his automobile as the trio shot at him, then returned fire by getting a solid hit in on Signor Potenza with his rifle. Mosca then drove off in the kidnappers' automobile, to everyone's surprise, and ran over one of the Castelvetrano goons on her way out. Antonio took the cue and drove after, driving over the same goon as the other goon managed to jump out of the way with Signor Potenza.
Once everyone were safely back at the mansion we did what should have been done to start with, give the children some sleeping pills and wash it down with some whiskey. Out like babies. Problem solved.

(*)... hvilket er imponerende med tanke på at filmen ikke kom ut før i 1971.

A night or two later: After Luigi Sangiovanni requested a small group of goons to attack them with garlic and such to "prove" that they were really vampires, which I was assured was in keeping with the Prince's orders and not a violation of the First Tradition, I insisted that I be present, and hidden, to oversee that all went well. Apparently this was a meeting of sort between "The Emperor of the Night and His Immortal Senate" and a trio of mortal witches, Maiden, Mother, Crone, and their manservant. Well, technically the man was supposed to represent the male magicians, but apparently the females are seen as more omportant. Sigh. Sure enough, the goon squad showed up on time, but turned out to be someone else as they started to recite scripture and drew swords which promptly burst into flame. Strangest of all though was that the attackers seemed to likewise burst into flame and die. One after the other. The witches seemed slightly surprised but claimed that it was their doing.

After that screw-up everyone went to the safe house I had already prepared, and had my ghould invite everyone in. The cause of the vampire/witch hunters were eventually discovered, the maiden had spilled the beans somewhat unwillingly. The cause of the fiery death of said hunters was also ascertained, the man was a pyromancer whose abilities was hightened by his fear. Once all that was out in the open we eventuall found an agreement and decided on a non-interference pact.

Two and a half month later: Several of Roma's kindred were gathered in the designated Elysium near Palatine Hill. Some time into the evening all were taken by surprise as fire bombs smashed through the windows. Chaos erupted as most kindred present attempted to flee. Those who managed to leash their beast and decided to stay saw Principe Boccasavia and Seneschal Banderali battling several mortals whose swords burned bright in their hands. The latin chanting in the background hinted at what later became obvious, that these were from the Malleus Maleficarum, the very same organization that had attempted to assassinate the kindred "emperor" during the meeting with the witches two and a half month ago. Through the fires of the burning stage Principe Boccasavia could clearly be seen as he took a sword through hit guts and turned to ash in a few quick agonizing seconds. Banderali had already fallen, but remained intact.
Several neonates managed to haul Banderali's torpid form to safety, and to bring Boccasavia's now unconscious killer with them. Both bodies were brought to the Invictus' main power base which, incidentally, lay right across the street. The killer's still living body was handed to Lupe Cacciatori, while Banderali's torpid body was laid out on a table in an adjoing room. The redheaded girl from Marveli's nightclub, who as it turned out was a kindred of the Circle, was shocked and quite upset to see Banderali in such a condition, and even burst into tears when she heard of Principe Boccasavia's fate.
Signora Rafaela spent the rest of the night consoling the grieving girl and, together with Signor Hunter, helped arrange for specialists to take care of Banderali's body until he awakens. Lupe Cacciatori mentioned at one point that the redhead girl was Boccasavia's childer. Whether or not this was meant literary or not is uncertain.
Messer Rosselini spent the night talking with the previous members of the primogen, with the exception of the currently torpid Invictus primogen (Banderali), and the two prisci who are part of the Invictus, Marchesa Micheletto of Gangrel, and Visconte Capuzzi of Mekhet. This included solving a dispute between the Marchesa and Cardinale Pasturelli, which left the sanctified primogen in debt to the Sangiovanni family.

With any luck the primogen and Invictus prisci will come to a quick agreement and present a united front that will stifle any rumblings of, what could effectively be called, civil war.
