3.40 - Investigative Compulsions

While Val and Everett continued their investigation at the Malkavian headquarters, Doris and Evangeline debated how to get the clan leaders on their side as they returned to the recreation centre in search of evidence that might have been missed. When inside, Doris’s beast was consumed with paranoia and she sought refuge at the bottom of the corpse pile, where she followed a vision to retrieve a mysterious journal. Evangeline managed to pull her out, but Doris looked up and only saw Horatio. Fea...

The coterie decided to divide and conquer. While Doris and Evangeline made their way back to the recreation centre to gather more evidence, Val and Everett investigated the Malkavian headquarters.

Everett, meanwhile, searched Horatio’s office and quarters, and when Val finally rejoined him, they discovered a secret compartment with millions of dollar in gold bars. Will Doris and...

Under orders from the Prince to expose one of the clan leaders as Lilith, the coterie ran out of alternatives, and Everett reluctantly executed the least impactful option: Fabienne Lacroix.

Despite the coterie’s desperate efforts, the Right Hand escaped.

As the Right Hand began to address the crowd, Everett declared him under arrest as Val cuffed him.

Everett and Val were staggered to find the small swimming pool room filled with a hundred corpses in various states of decay, along with one table, one chair, but two glasses.

But they can’t tell anyone if they want to keep any chance of surprise. Featuring our Stor...
