Kristophe watches with interest as Finn chants and moves. When she slams the cross to his chest he staggers slightly in surprise from the blow but otherwise stands. "That was... unexpected, my lady. Though I know my practices may be seen as untowards, especially by those of the faith. I can assure you I have given in to no demonologist."

**Finn smiles and puts her cross back around her neck. Looks at the spot where she put the cross. Pokes the spot and smiles.

Okay Sis, I think we can rule out a Holy weapons.

The building Enki and the others reached is far enough from the city centre, such as it is, that there are few prying eyes about, especially at night. Aserymus muses that it is not unlike others he has seen in his journey north, though he also notes the lack of windows and obvious religious iconography. In truth, he was none too fond of some of the more...inflexible aspects of the northern temples, and their religion seemed downright counter-intuitive. All the focus on punishments for bad behaviour, while the rewards for good were few and far between. But, strange lands beget strange Gods and strange people, he thinks to himself.

Following the others inside, he decides to remain apart and simply observe the dealings between the others, listening unobtrusively. Having little medical knowledge, other than the most basic mending of cuts from battle, this is the realm of healers and physicians. Let them tend to the wounded. He would be adding to their number soon enough.

Why don't we wait until tomorrow to go into the sewers. My sister and i can examine the area of the attack tonight, and do some research on burning blades, as well as follow up on some other leads. Shall we?

"We should gather lanterns as they are safer than torches. MAYBE some rope in case we run into some pits or anything like that. Is there some place in town that might have maps of the old sewers or the plans they were made from? Maybe someone who has access to the library could see if there are older accounts of similar events in the sewers? Those who are warriors of course can gather their arms. Oh and everyone make sure you have boots that don't have any holes but you arent fond of. Anything else anyone can think of for potential preparation?"
Sep 10, 2020 3:52 am
Does anyone have a demonic weapon we can try?

**Finn pauses a moment

No volunteers? Okay, didn't think so.

Let's go Sister. We have things to do, experiments to hold.
Sep 10, 2020 3:58 am
Enki seeming lost of voice stares at the crowd before him, he shakes his head a few times before he speaks his word showing signs of agitation. The various tattoos and symbols on his body start to glow a blood red he speaks in an irritated tone " We live in a civilized society, we do not go around jamming blessed holy symbols of faith into eachother!" he snaps staring daggers at Finn.

Enki puts himself back together the glowing subsides and his face returns to a calm demeanor " Now then I agree with Ilza we will meet tomorrow after proper preparations and venture into these sewer tunnels. Is the present company all in agreement?"

**Finn lets out a boisterous laugh

Okay Enki, next time you can be the volunteer.

**She turns back to Kristophe and pats him hard on the shoulder.

This strapping young man could handle it. He did just take on 2 assailants and survived, O ye, of little faith.
Sep 10, 2020 6:11 pm
In a sly tone Enki says "I have plenty of Faith just not in your god." Enki looks at Kristophe and Finn and in jest continues "I assume someone of your caliber is not scared of a little water are you Finn?"

Enki walks over to Aserymus and hands him a note

Let us be off sister dear. We have much to do. Fellow Canites. *nods goodbye*

One moment sister.

Enki, water no. The stuff that comes out of humans in large quantities while sitting beneath the city to ferment for God knows how long...yes. Not a fan.

Why do we think that the attacker was Nosferatu? They are unnaturally strong, even for kindred. These wounds on Kristophe were not deep enough to suggest they were done with much force.
Sep 11, 2020 2:50 am
" i think someone suggested nosferatu as they are the only known group who would have a reason to keep people out of the sewers and also easily be able to sneak up on someone. You are right though we shouldn't let that assumption blind us to other possibilities. I'm going to the library to research if there have ever been similar devilry in the sewers. Maurice if you dont mind please stay with Kristophe and help keep him safe at least until he can get a replacement bodyguard."
OOC:
Isaac leaves
Maurice speaks up " Oh aye Isaac. Glad to do it. Any friends of Isaac are friends of mine I always say!"
Maurice goes over to Kristophe.
"Pleased to meet you yer lordship. Don't ye worry sir I won't let you down!"
Sep 11, 2020 7:33 pm
Kristophe chuckles lightly at the arguing, "I'm glad so many have belief in my capabilities it seems. Given a day or two, I should be quite able to join, mostly it is the risk of hunger that limits me. Just have to make a trip into town to deal with that, and a slight rest to heal some more."

"And I agree, while the Nosferatu do generally claim ownership of the underground places it is not theirs alone. And as I mentioned there is still the unknown necromancer. Though I'm told they are not of my clan I cannot be sure whose lineage they follow." With that he turns to Maurice, speaking as he pulls the mortal along beside him to exit the building. "I thank you for the assistance sir. You don't happen to know of any recent deaths or burials do you..."
Sep 12, 2020 12:35 am
Aserymus reads the note, and the tucks it into his tunic. Time enough to follow up on that later. For now, it seems the chance to test his mettle against whatever was worrying the less-battle-oriented Cainites would have to wait one more day. No matter. Be it man or beast, it would fall just the same.

Speaking to no one in particular, but loud enough that any in the room could hear, he addresses the Abbey. "If no hunt is happening tonight, I have other duties to attend to. I will return tomorrow, and kill the beast then. May the Gods' hands guide your path until then." And without another word, the Lion of Tunis turns and departs the building, leaving the physicians and wounded in each other's company.
OOC:
Aserymus leaves
Sep 12, 2020 2:18 am
"I can't say anyone I know in particular has died recently but there are funerals pretty frequently here in Amsterdam yer lordship. It shouldn't be too hard to find a recent one if we look around a bit."
OOC:
Maurice leaves if Kristophe leaves
Sep 14, 2020 9:40 pm
**Finn comes and goes. Helping her sister with research and gathering supplies.
OOC:
Finn will leave when everyone else heads out

After some time passes Enki returns to the Chapel now dressed in what appears to be full plate. He is accompanied by his usual bodyguard and a rather intense looking Canine. The dog stands taller then any canine one would commonly see its coat a mix of earthen brown and black, it has wolfish features and large yellow eyes. The animal seems well behaved and as they enter Enki gives a hand signal and the dog sits perfectly, awaiting its next command.

Enki takes a seat and await and return of the others.

*Henry enters shaking the rain off of his hood revealing his bald head and old puckered flesh*

"Ahh Enki, good to see you again. What brings you to my chapel on this fine evening" *He chuckles to himself*
Oct 10, 2020 8:02 pm
Enki glances at the priest and smiles "Figured I would come here first before heading to the sewer entrance to track this vile beast. Alas it seems the party is not here." Enki gets up from his seat and starts to head for the door, "Henry if anyone else arrives tell them I have already set off and will be waiting, I have to go grab someone else on my way there anyways."

*Enki leaves*
Oct 16, 2020 9:34 pm
*Henry smiles in response to Enkis farewell*

"Good luck my friend. Enjoy the hunt"

*Henry pulls a book from the shelf below his podium and sits and the table. He waits patiently for his robes to dry and the arrival of whatever finds their way to his chapel*
