1401 CE

Approaching the Prince's seneschal at the next opportunity, Aserymus ascends the stairs, helmet in arm, and bows respectfully.

"I would also seek an audience with the Prince." Leaving the sentence alone, he waits patiently to be addressed by the local Powers of the city.

Duccio quietly returns from his brief meeting with the Prince a look of deep contemplation on his face while making his way to a seat. Seemingly to finally take stock of the fact Henry had made it back Duccio looks up taking in the last few comments,

"Which area of the city in specific did this attack occur? As there are deeper roots to the occult in this city than one would think at first glance so it does open up more unorthodox suspects for such an attack. Also Gregor there is a matter I wish to discuss in regards to a possible violation of the Traditions and the possible need of some extra muscle in the near future."

Isaac enters just at the tail end of Gregor's statement. Beside him is a very handsome young fellow in peasants garb that looks like it is probably the nicest clothes the man owns. The newcomer smiles somewhat anxiously at the group. Isaac waves at Enki and Henry on his way in.
"That seems like a grand idea Warden. Some among us were already gathering to go hunting whatever or whoever attacked Kristophe so I am glad to see those of station in the city are as concerned as we were. That's actually why I took a bit longer to get here. I stopped to pick up Maurice here to accompany me and introduce him. He is a dear friend and a good man. I have made him my personal ghoul! While our kind can't enjoy his wares if any of your mortal retainers or friends want to try it i am told he makes delicious bread and will give you a very good price. Say hello to everyone my good man!"
Maurice steps forward with a bit more confidence. "Hullo you lordships and ladyships. I'm Maurice. Happy to be of service."
He steps back by Isaac.
"Anyone looking to work together on a venture into the sewers perhaps we can meet at Saint Roch's if that's OK with Henry? Some of us are already gathering there for such a purpose. I'm sure we will all want to change into our least favorite clothes first."

It is impossible not to hear the loud proclamation by the Warden, and to be saying it peaked the Brujah's interest would be a gross understatement. Events in this northern city moved with the speed of a sharp desert wind, it seemed, and Aserymus smiles upon his fortune. Touching his pendant of Tanit for a moment, he silently thanks his Lady for presenting him with such an opportunity.

Turning back to the Keeper(to use the local term), he says briefly, "My apologies to the Prince. It seems others have more dire need of me at present. I shall return in triumph for an audience."

Descending the steps to the gathering of Kindred in the main hall below, the golden-armoured warrior quickly makes his way to the newest guest at court, and focuses his attention on him, disregarding the smiling man beside him. Choosing his next words with precision, after a moment he speaks again.

"I am as yet somewhat unfamiliar with this city. But Tanit saw me here, and here I am clearly needed. Lead me to this house of your Saint Roch, and I will hunt down and slay whatever thing has attacked your companion."

A smile plays upon Aserymus' face at hearing Enki's words. Gripping his helmet in one hand and resting the other casually on his belt, he begins to follow the man towards the doors of the great hall.

"Excellent. It has been far too long since I've had a worthwhile diversion. Let us see what challenges this city has to offer."

As he strides towards the doors, he says quietly, to no one in particular,OOC:
Exit scene.

Isaac smiles at the newcomer and makes like...too much eye contact. Fucking extroverts man.
" Excellent! My name is Isaac and I am pleased to meet you! Follow Enki, Maurice, and I. We will lead you to the chapel where our friends are waiting. If anyone else wishes to join us come along!"

"Hmmm... With the use of a magical blade does eliminate a few possibilities defiantly not one of the Lupines or something more monstrous as most of them have no need for such tools. Could still be a rouge Kine hiding in the city or an exceedingly cleaver mortal as those mages seem to know their way around things. Do you know which part of town this was in, close to the docks, the Church, or the outskirts?"

Godfrey walks out from visiting the prince. He looks about and frowns.

'Seems like my meeting with the big Golden lions will have to wait. What have I missed dear brother?'

"Well that is a close enough information for my purposes Henry thank you. I sadly will not be of much use on the hunt for this perpetrator but I do have a lead, which likely is unrelated, but could prove fruitful nonetheless for the city." Duccio strokes his chin in thought for a moment formulating his plan of action for the near future before turning his attention towards Godfrey.

"Ah yes things are moving as fast as ever in this vibrant town, most have gone off towards Henry's chapel in attempts to track what ever attacked Kristophe. This outing also comes with the rewards of a boon from Warden Gergor plus the title of Champion and office of deputy to the city to whom ever brings Gregor the attacker dead or alive first."

"Looks like I should hurry off and get my preparations done as there seems much to do as always in this little town. If there is any need of me please send word by the Church." Duccio smiles and announces broadly to the few left in the room before making is way out as swiftly as his bad leg would take him.
