Okay, so what happened at the Forgotten to make me all happy and such? Well, we did good work... go us! :)

So at the last Elysium, when we were planning the Sabbat raid, Dr. Webster (Gabe) and Dani (me) came up with the plan of just throwing a couple of Molotov cocktails into the Sabbat's haven, and letting it burn. If we killed the Sabbat that way, sweet, if not, well, at least we took out one of their havens! :) But we didn't get to do that, and as things went, there were no Sabbat to kill when we finally raided the place.

So we decided that if there was going to be another raid on the Sabbat this week, we were gonna preempt it with some Molotov throwing... :) So when D finally got to Elysium, I went to ask him where we knew that the Sabbat lived, and got him to give me an address... so off we go to buy some Everclear (okay, IMPROVIZED Molotovs), and throw them at the Sabbat haven... I suppose we really only slightly singed the lawn, but it was still a good time... :)

So then we get back to Elysium, and catch up with Magdalena (Seth), and decide to go look for the Sabbat at a local bar... we decide to take Rudolph (Rafe) with us, cuz he seems dumb enough to go along with it... (hehehehe...) So we find a Vampire we don't know, but we also find a woman that is REALLY eyeballing him... and, as we come to find out with Telepathy, has bad intentions for him... so she lures him outside, and we all follow in Magdalena's Obfuscate. She ends up TOTALLY tooling him! :) So we surround her, and I drop out of Obfuscate with a gun to the back of her head, and tell her "Don't move." Well, she doesn't listen, breaks my arm, makes me shoot Dr. Webster, and manages to get a few feet away from us... when she suddenly stops, and asks if we want to work things out and not kill her.

So we take her, and the guy she had tooled (okay, torpored, at least), and go sit in Dr. Webster's Jetta in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. She explains to us that she's a genetically engineered ghoul with no domitor... but she's willing to help us.

This is the point when Seth and I kinda look at each other, and realize that we both recognize where this plot is coming from... this is the plot that BEGAN the entire game of the Forgotten... TWO years ago... a plot which was left unresolved when the third Prince (Andrei) was destroyed... and which we are just now wrapping up... go us! :)

Anyways, we take her and the guy she tooled back to Rudolph's medical office, get him strapped down (as well as staked... we ain't taking ANY chances!), and get ready to interrogate him... but then Magdalena gets a call that the Sheriff wants the Malkavians back at Elysium NOW... I was all thinking we were in deep trouble... :) But no, they just wanted Magdalena to go Astral and check out the location of the first Elysium, where the Sabbat had burned a crop circle on the roof... (don't ask... I'm not sure what happened here... I think I was briefly OOC at this point...)... so anyways, she gets done with that, and she, Dr. Webster, and I are all sitting in a side room... trying to decide what to do next. We hit upon going back to Rudolph's office and interrogating the guy (who I've got a Telepathy connection with, just in case he managed to get out of the restraints we put him in). But we decide that we don't want to go through Elysium, because either someone will want to come with us, or they'll tell us that we can't leave. So we decide to break out of Elysium... ;)

Dani disconnects the security on the window (hey, that's what Ravnos are good for!), and we start climbing out. Dr. Webster is out, Dani is mostly out, and we turn around to find Peaches standing right outside the window. She wants to know what we're doing.

"Going to a house party?" we suggest. "Okay, we're really gonna go finish what we were working on before. That we can't really tell you about yet."

"Okay," she says, "just don't let the hunters get you."

We laugh. "Oh, we've got that under control."

She looks a bit surprised. "Okay, then don't let the Sabbat find you."

We laugh again. "Nope, that shouldn't be a problem either."

She looks more surprised. "Well then, can you at least leave Elysium through the front door?"

"Okay, sure." We had, after all, realized that we were gonna need Rudolph to come with us, to let us into his office. So we retrieve him and start to leave. Then he informs us that the Giovanni had a wraith following him. So, clearly, we don't want to go back to his office. But, I've got a Telepathy connection with the guy we need to interrogate... so we decide to actually go to a house party, and that I can interrogate him, via Telepathy, from the party... :)

We get to the party, Magdalena and I manage to get in without paying ("because we're cute!"), and find ourselves a room to work out of. So I start digging through the guy's brain, find out that yup, he is Sabbat... along with all kinds of other juicy information... and then the Giovanni shows up. Bastard. Dominates me to tell him what I learned, which I proceed to do, until Dr. Webster jumps in front of me and Dominates me to stop. At which point, I close my eyes, cover them with my hands, and refuse to uncover them, or open them, all the way back to Elysium, and until we get in a side room with Peaches. I then have to use Telepathy to tell her, Dr. Webster, Rudolph, and Magdalena what I learned (cuz the wraith is still with us, and I've got a SERIOUS problem with the Giovanni knowing this information). And that was pretty much it for the night, because I was almost completely drained at that point... lots of hard work!

I think that's about it... we were all pleased with ourselves at wrap-up, when the first two news stories were our doing... go us! :)
