With the issue of the Invictus quest safely done and the items returned to the covenant, the coterie needs to head up a new lead. They decide it is prudent to investigate the one covenant they have yet to look into, the Ordo Dracul. Working with Wurm’s Nests is tricky business, especially for the uninitiated. Fortune is on their side, however, as a casual drive from Point A to Point B leads them by a major plot location.

Upon recovering the item from Motor City Casino, the players begin to investigate what exactly they have bled for. Liberal use of The Spirits Touch reveals that things were not so cheery in the past of the Motor City Kindred. In addition, things might just get out of hand as one of their own succumbs to their baser instincts.

It’s the night of the New Moon and the timing is perfect for the coterie to head to Motor City Casino and execute a rather cryptic request from Chicago’s Invictus. As far as they know, they are just picking up a package. Unfortunately, they failed to consider if anyone ELSE is looking for it.

Now that the Vampires have something to work with, its time to start hacking into computers and extracting the sweet, juicy plot information from inside. Unfortunately, it seems that some of the other, more combat oriented characters don’t want to wait around for the info. Will they begin to unravel the secrets of what happened to the Kindred of Detroit? Or will they just make more work for the party to clean up later?

It turns out that Jason wasn’t going to just kill the party mid-campaign. So that’s good. Now that the players have learned a thing or two about their enemy, it’s time to do what they do best, go completely off script. But it turns out that even going off of the beaten path will cause them to run into some interesting people.

Licking their wounds after the fight at Holy Sepulcher, the Coterie takes some time off. While some go off to feed, others begin to investigate some odd steps taken by the Detroit Circle of the Crone. It all culminates in the interrogation of their captured neonate friend, and finally coming face to “face” with their enemy.

Armed with the information retrieved at the National Shrine of the Little Flower, the Coterie, heads off to check on Holy Sepulcher Cemetery. The Cemetery has long been a seat of power for the Circle of the Crown and Mother Rowen of Chicago has asked that they check in to make sure nothing has been disturbed. With the theft at the Shrine clearly on everyone’s minds, anything could happen as the Echoes campaign continues!

After setting their sights on the Lancea Sanctum stronghold beneath the National Shrine of the Little Flower, the players decide to…actually follow through this time! Going into the depths of the high tech vampire haven will perhaps give the Coterie the first glimpse of what has happened to all the Kindred of Detroit. But while everyone is down in the vault, who is watching the front door?

After setting their sights on the Lancea Sanctum stronghold beneath the National Shrine of the Little Flower, the players decide to…go the opposite direction? (GM twitch….) Perhaps investigating the area where court is traditionally held might yield more clues. Upon arriving at the Detroit Opera House, a picture starts to take shape. Unfortunately, all indications point to more than a simple communications breakdown for Baron Kerensky’s domain.

The Domain of Detroit MI has gone dark for long enough. When Prince Maxwell Clark’s second ghoul retainer disappears, he decides to send in an investigative team from the kindred population of Chicago to perform recon-in-force. However, it seems like ever vampire covenant has business in Detroit and the Coterie’s hands will be full. Welcome to Echoes, www.penguinfringedabyss.com’s first World of Darkness campaign featuring several new players.
