1402

Duccio sighs a rubs at the bridge of his nose before looking towards Sophie but addressing the room "We will need to strike out at soon as we can it would be preferable to do it before those mongrels have any more time to entrench themselves within our city. If we will be lacking in significant amount of strength that waiting a night would give us then that would be the better option." Duccio slowly makes his way over to a seat while looking towards Abdul and Balthazar.

"It is great to see those of clan Tremere have been diligently at work it is a shame that the previous Warden chose not pass on all the pertinent information upon the changing of roles, or the current warden did not think to ask and gather it, or yet that the Clan Tremere chose not to give their information or aid to the new warden of who's election they chose to ignore. Balthazar is it? I hope you are free to discuses some of the information you have gathered, has it been singularly focused upon the inquisition or did it also breach into the fact that the Leopold society is here in this city?"

Duccio limps his way back into the Abby a dark look upon his face, "We have returned with a victory, unfortunate it was at the cost of the Warden. Now I shall go make my report to the Prince."

The doors to the Abbey flung open, a man stood there eye's scanning the assembled court.

"I come seeking Abdul Wasi of the Banu Haqim!" He boomed. looking rather annoyed. "I was told he could be found here by one of his servants." His dress was simple travelling clothing, and what looked like the under layers of armor. No weapons were visible but this new comer had the eyes of a trained killer.

"I am Izra'll of the Banu Haqim. I am was informed that this city was besieged and required warriors. I came as fast as I could, though it appears the 'ahmaq thought himself above his station. It is not the place of his caste to stand in battle except against the demon and those that summon them." The New arrival bowed his head to the Keeper. "I shall do what ever is required to defend this place so long as you will have me."

"Abdul's missive said there were demons, Lupines, Inquisitors and more. Had he informed us sooner more help would of arrived. And I thank you for the welcome." He gave Finn and Sophie a nod before moving to take a seat.

A burly, dangerous looking man walks through the front door scowling at everyone. He cracks his knuckles as his form flickers into the familiar non-threatening visage of Isaac though he is not smiling.
"Good evening everyone. Good to see you all."
He walks to Torston.
"Hello again my friend. As soon as she is free I need to speak with Prince Birkenfeld about several things. Some of it directly related to my duties as Scourge and some more long term issues the city faces. It would be rude of me to barge in though this is serious enough I am close to such breach of proper manners. I will wait an socialize until she is ready."
He walks to sit bear the newcomer.
"Hello friend. I have not seen you in these parts before. My name is Isaac. To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking and from where do you hail?"

Izra'll looks at the Scourge with amusement. "I am Izra'll of the Banu Haqim. Your former Warden sent out a call ofnhelp to the clan with your demon and Lupine problem. As far as I am aware I am the only member this side of the Bosphorus who answered his call for help. Shame I didn't arrive a night sooner or he may still be with us." He gave Isaac a very fang filled smile. "You are the most mild mannered Scourge I've met this side of Constantinople."

"The lupine problem has been resolved for now though as you have already been made aware it cost us Abdul. There is another much larger group in the woods but we have cordial if.....cold relations with them. The demon problem is quite another matter. They have been openly attacking and trying to harm or kidnap us. Your comment implies there are more mild mannered scourges on the other side of Constantinople. I am quite new to the position myself so I have not had much opportunity to settle into it and assist wayward cainites in locating elysium and seeking proper acknowledgement."

"I confess, outside of the Old Crusader holdings we do not see many Scourges in the Empire. Most Prince's can do their own executions, but I assume things are done differently in Christendom. I did not catch your Clan sir."

"I am of clan Malkavian and I doubt there will be a need for any executions."

"Obviously, such a waste of the gifts we've been given. Perhaps you Europeans aren't as backwards as we originally thought." Izra'll smiled, "I would love to get to know how you operate up this way once things settle down."
