Grimoir de Vampire

August 11, 2012 12:37

Part One

Sylus and Anastasia were invited to join our Cabal. We will get their answer when they come back from meeting with the Council of Mages.

Meanwhile Lord Leviticus approached us to get him a Grimoire that he thought was held by a vampire. He also introduced us to Grim.

The only clue to the books wereabouts was the Vampires name. The Mysterious One. What a laugh.

We managed to track him down to being the owner of a nightclub. Some research did not result in too much extra information other than getting. Grim howver showed some very interesting skills with computers and got our names listed as VIP’s for entry.

At the club we simply walked up and told the bouncers our name and then shown the way in.
Inside we saw some stairs that lead us up to the VIP section. There were only two other people there other than Grim and I

I approached one of the people and discovered that it was the Vampire. He was accually quite up front about it but a quick look at his aura shown there was nothing really special about him. Just some jumped up Club owner with delusions of grandure. I did however ask if I could do a quick interveiw with him. He was very co-operative with my questions even after telling him what magazine I worked for. When we talked about his history we turned to the subject of artifacts.

Again he was very co-operative and willing to show me his collection. First up was a book that matched the description of the grimoir we needed. I asked him where he got it from and he said that some guy gave it to him, just after he lost another tailsman that could summon Vampires.

Now we have Vampire-in-a-Can to worry about too! Apparently the same guy gave the Vampire this artifact as well.

Anyway, I interviewed him for a long time. while looking around for possible ways to get in. There is one window that did not appear to be very secure and loking at the book display I felt that it was not secure either. I prbably could have just walked out with it.

So tomorrow morning we will will be trying to get in the window and out with the book.

Part Two.

Sylas and Anastasia met Fragor, Grim and I back at the Shack. A quick round of introduction followed. Lord Dylan knocks on our toilet door. We give him the the Lady’s Journal since we have copied it already for our selves.

We all descided to call it a night and thankfully I had no more dreams of shovels. I am still trying to work out my last one. Who are the 21? I think four of them are mages and I think another four are Vampires.

Now for the hiest.

In the morning after planning ahead, we grab some rope and head for the club. Anastasia stays behind at the shack. Something about shelving for a library. I think a roof that doesn’t leak might be better. We head down a side alley at the club and see the windows I found while inside. Sylas, being the athletic type, climbs up the pipes with the rope. Fragor follows while Grim and I stay on look out. A quick spell gives me alround vision.

I am not sure what happens up in the club but after what i thought was longer than it needed to be Fragor and Sylas climb back down with the book. Well, that seemed easy.

Sylas drives us back to the shack. On the way I ask to have a look at the book. The cover just feels a little weird. Inside the words swurl around unit they start to form words. “What would you like to learn?” they say. In my mind I ask to learn more Mind magic. They letters change and show me a new rote. The rest of the trip back I learn it. It seems so easy. Maybe too easy. The book then tells me that it knows all magic.

I think we found our library.

Meanwhile Fragor calls Lord Leviticus to let him know we have the book. He meets us back at the Shack. I let him know that I had read the book and learnt something. He will bring it back in a week.

As a bit of an after crime spree get together Grim invites us over the house his EMPLOYERS let him stay at. Apparently he works for some organisation that even he does not have the security clearance to know much about. So you know now i really can trust him.

Riiight.
