[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2817548, member: 14159"] The plot of the game to date was that the 4 PC's had each recieved an invitation with a plane ticket one day to the reading of a will at a mansion in rural Maine. The 4 PC's had never met each other, and were from around the country (A District Attorney in Los Angeles, an herbalist from San Francisco, a college student from Indiana, and a Russian attending medical school in Virginia). When they get there, they find out that apparently they are all distantly related to a long lost "rich uncle" that just died. In fact, that "rich uncle" was a very very powerful Ventrue who has been declared dead by his ghouls and staff after being missing for years. The PC's are the closest relatives that are still living, i.e. not embraced themselves. Everybody else at the reading of the will was a vampire or a ghoul. At the will, everybody else there gets an insultingly small present, or a present which is literally an insult, and the 4 mortals get his entire business empire and assets divided amongst the four of them. This sparks a war among all the other vampires, and while our characters are quickly spirited away to safety by his ghouls, they see vampires throwing cars at each other, swinging telephone polls like sticks, and outright open warfare of a few dozen very angry and somewhat old vampires who all got insulted at once, tearing an entire mansion apart stone by stone. The PC's flee the area with the help of some of his ghouls, who decide that although it breaks a pile of rules, they explain the whole deal about vampires ect. to the PC's, and help them set up a safehouse in San Francisco, when the next night they are all gassed by mysterious intruders and each wake up in this environment. My hunch as a player is that the "rich uncle" is still alive and is somehow testing his descendants. [/QUOTE]
