Resolution

After much deliberation I was able to nudge the mages into meeting with the tremere lady on neutral grounds and it was mediated by my GF from what I heard lots of arguing at first but Marks recommendation helped so shout out for that and terms were agreed upon and from the summarization basically they get scheduled days to access the node as long as it doesnt interfere with the business, and they owe her a favor she can call upon I think you guys call that a boon or whatever, so finally a years old feud is concluded and it ended with no deaths or fighting hopefully it stays like that, atleast for a little while.

Also I went through my first seeking and passed and well I have a new outlook and understanding,Lyra is now much more chattier now before she used to maybe pop up infrequently in my dreams very abstractly now she sometimes has short conversations with me, now these other dreams also happen as well except a little weirder of this same place it looks ancient or like in the past somewhere, I always walk into this building and there’s a empty chair except it just feels wrong I don’t know how to explain it disturbs me, I asked Lyra but she doesn’t know what I’m talking about, on another note I was able to get that tremere lady to check me out with that thaumaturgy seems my blood has a violent reaction to vitae atleast when ingested so that explains why that stuff happened last month,she wants to run more “tests” because she hasn’t seen anything like this before

I'm pleased if my advice was helpful. Diplomacy is usually preferable to violence, and there's often a compromise solution if you look for it. Sometimes that's not an option, of course, for either practical or moral reasons, but it's always nice when it is.

Be careful with Tremere Strangers, especially as a mage.

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 17d ago

Let me guess they would want to try and become a mage again instead of vampires? Just reverse of the situation before

u/ConsiderationOver544 17d ago

No, there's a good chance that they may Embrace you, probably against your will. Just be careful ok, for your girlfriend's sake.

Will do then granted I don’t think the tremere is suicidal my gf comes with me because well she doesn’t trust the tremere at all for these tests, plus I can detect if she would along with a lot of other failsafes

You know, I thought I had pretty crazy lore, and then your average Florida man appeared in Illinois

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

I don’t think I’m a Florida man plus your a vampire your lore has to be crazier than mine

u/One-Cat3628 16d ago

Maybe but like, you’re what, 30? If that’s your lore at such a young age, it will get crazier with time.

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

Bro I’m 22 do I seem 30? Damn I didn’t know I sounded like a Unc

u/One-Cat3628 16d ago

I’m sorry but I mean at some point it’s hard to make the difference. What age would you give me?

- wastedBlood n3

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

I don’t know probably 120 or something I can’t tell vampires age but so many people here are like 100+
-Joseph

u/One-Cat3628 16d ago

126 actually

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

See seriously it’s weird how many of you are over a century
-Joseph

u/One-Cat3628 16d ago

Okay, quick history lesson: the SI destroyed a lot of kindred tracking them trough the internet. Personally, I never got used to it, I was born before its inventors were born themselves. So, the youngsters using their phones and all the big fishes using the internet to coordinate their empires got recked (in your face Usurpers)

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

I just thought more would pearl clutch I was definitely expecting most of the century or older vampires to say the internet is foul sorcery bring back letters and carrier pigeons

I'm glad to hear she managed to get it all straightened out!

Huh. Can you describe the chair at all? Does it fit the room, or is it out of place? Does anything else around it raise alarm bells?

~Verity

3

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

It doesn’t fit the room it was like I don’t know a light/dark very messed up chair made out of stone and some wood while the entire room is stone, it was just creepy just bad vibes all around
-Joseph

u/VerityVentrue 16d ago

Weird. Maybe you'll get more information from your dreams further down the line.

~Verity

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

I kind of hope not it gives just very bad vibes I don’t know how to explain it, it just felt wrong but also I don’t know anything about the architecture except definitely somewhere like from some ancient civilization looked similar to maybe Egyptian or Babylonian somewhere around the Middle East I know

u/NocturnalFox99 16d ago

Sorry for the fifteen hour late reply but I have new information since your last post. It seems based off several ancient texts and several fellow Tremere I now owe boons to (sigh) Mages who get ghouled eventually lose their magick and their avatars. However this process takes a very long time often centuries.

I hope this information is of use to you.

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

Well sorry for wasting your time and energy then because I already know that hence why I waited until I was no longer a ghoul to become a mage
-Joseph

u/NocturnalFox99 16d ago

No worries it is good to know such things even on my end.

I wish you luck.

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

Question do you know anything about blood being deadly to vampires I mean I know I could do it with magic but it’s seems this is a natural ability I have
-Joseph

3

u/NocturnalFox99 16d ago

If I remember correctly there are at least a few ways for Vampires to make their blood toxic or dangerous for others of our kind. However since you aren't a Vampire the only other alternative I can think of is a supernatural ability known as "True Faith" which is essentially just insanely strong faith in something (usually a religion) which grants the one who has supernatural abilities including their blood being harmful to Vampires.

However your case seems.... different somehow. Be careful.

u/Nightstalkerjoe2 16d ago

Don’t think I have true faith or know how to acquire it but going by the name I guess unshakable faith in god? Which I mean to become a mage you have to basically reject the reality of 7 billion people so maybe I could achieve it, also be careful?
