Red Sands: Eight

Vampire: The Masquerade fifth edition

Red Sands

Session Eight

The nomads prowling the beach come and go with the seasons, but this year they're clashing with a local gang... maybe boosted by the Camarilla. Simon suggests a way to get them to back off without violence. Some of the nomads seem keen, others disappointed.

Jamie does the scaring off.

This is enough to get the new coterie access to the nomads' routes in and out of the city.

Louise asks their leader, Kiersey, about other smuggling issues. Specifically, who's in charge of the supply of waste bagged blood.

"That's the kind of thing the Tower locks down quickly. Though there are some clinics you could try."

She heads to one... and finds another vampire observing it.

She approaches him cautiously, hands where he can see them. He looks like he might run. She bites down on the temptation to charge and see what he does.

"If there's someone I can buy from, I'm happy to do that."
"Who sent you?"
"Kiersey."
"I don't know no Kiersey."
"Miguel sent me to him."
"Ah, uh, okay. Just... don't make any mess. Some of us gotta be here weekly."

She makes a note of this... maybe this isn't a good place to rely on.

But the orderly takes her money and lets her pick from bags past their use date.

She drives back to the Starlight, using a roundabout route.

When she arrives, there's another vampire waiting. This one seems a lot more confident...
