To Otto Meyer,
Librarian of Pack Savage.
I think it best if I start with myself, it is always best that way. I am known throughout as Myrilath of the esteemed Clan Lasombra. I was born Raymond Paul Synold and indeed, many still use the name, including myself, but with my embrace into the shadows of night I am far more accurately - Myrilath, Templar to Arch Deacon Savage. For those of you who have no idea of what I speak, I pity you.
I begin this account at my mansion where I was awakening to the night and preparing to leave for the Ninth Gate with my consort, Angelique. If you wish to know of Angelique, ask her, I will not deign to speak of her and I would certainly enjoy watching you in her presence. After we were prepared and presentable, I entered my hearse and began the short drive to the decadent Nite Club. On the way there we passed Josie and what appeared to be her breakfast. They were abandoning a laughable excuse for a car and in the process of getting a lift with Carlo in one of Savage's limousines. I believe Richard was driving. Does it sound as if I am name dropping like some groveling wretch? I am not, I would not stoop to it. I merely know a few people, some of whom have a measure of import.
Upon our arrival at the Ninth Gate I turned Angelique loose to let her have some fun. I presented Jill with a small gift of severed fingers (Just a small joke on my part - a reminder of her embrace in America.). I learned from Josie that her meal's name was Chris, once inside the establishment he seemed far less afraid and foolish and far more confident and mocking. I noticed he had a strange jaw structure and an odd flicker in his eye. A reading of his aura seemed prudent and revealed him to be both Obsessive and Agressive - not good traits in a meal. He seemed otherwise normal in his aura - not at all supernatural. I did not trust him at all. He also had five friends on the dancefloor, three male and two female, all with that enigmatic jaw structure. Carlo took out a tarot card and looked at it, he did not seem pleased, and said something about seeing hellfire or somesuch - I decide to inform Jeremy of this. (I will refer to Savage as Jeremy, but I would recommend you refer to him as Savage, or perhaps master...) He did not seem overly concerned and was talking with an older gentleman and what appeared to be his bodyguards, or retainers.
After a short while Chris and his 'friends' made their way to one of the back rooms. Jeremy and several of the Pack made to follow. A glance from Jeremy suggested that I should follow suit. It looked as if the night was about to become interesting. As it turns out, I was right, it became much more interesting very quickly as it became obvious that they intended to combat us. Our Ductus took the three males and the remainder were divided amongst us. I was to deal with an attractive young thing whom it turned out was less than normal. I decided to use some of my 'darker' gifts, those purchased through some of my alternative contacts, and thus my claws elongated into razor-sharp weapons of destruction, my jaw was similarly transformed into something monstrous, but effective.
As the fight progressed it became obvious that these were far more dangerous opponents than originally thought. Carlo was someowhat amusing in his tactics, and in his choice of weapons. It seemed he was attacking with one of those plastic McDonalds knives. Even more curious was the way in which he spun around and around saying such foolish things as 'now you see me, now you don't'. Amusing though because it seemed to work, aah - the continual puzzle of the fey. He shortly followed this display with a stab of the plastic knife through her back. This appeared to cause her extreme pain and very nearly killed her outright.
I was distracted from the surrounding conflict as my shoes began to catch fire - most disconcerting. My attacks against my opponent did not prove as efficacious as hoped and soon my pants were also aflame. I thought it prudent to sacrifice dignity rather than myself and hastily stripped off my pants and shoes. The flames stopped as Jeremy came to my aid, having already dealt with his opponents, a quick glance showed that Carlo had done likewise. Josie seemed to be having some difficulty in dealing with Chris. I do believe that I have failed to mention that all these individuals were apparently demons, oh well. As Jeremy held the female demon whom had been attacking me against the wall I proceeded to slowly push my claws into her eyesockets and wriggle them about. Unexpectedly the demon seemed to enjoy this and began to heal, I desisted in feeding her pain and the inititive was taken to have her promptly killed.
Chris on the other hand was a much more powerful looking demon and seemed to be feeding off the anger that was growing within Josie. We all turned upon Chris but to no real avail. A large proportion of the remaining Pack members gated into the room using one of their 'gifts' and all proceeded to open fire upon Chris. Again to no avail. In the end Jeremy took out a very unpleasant looking grenade. I made for the door, but it was locked, and surprisingly my enhanced jaws could not eat through it - damn hell-forged steel. The Pack members started to gate out of the room, Jeremy took me with him, I believe Nicole took Josie. The last I saw of Carlo he was being covered by Richard in his truly demonic form (yes, Richard is a demon. Must I explain everything to you fools?). Jeremy threw the grenade as we were gated out. A moment later we gated back in to find the room completely stipped back to the steel walls and Carlo against one wall with the powdery outline of Richard around him (he'll reform eventually) and a black puddle of ooze where once stood Chris. It seemed he had been at last destroyed. Then the puddle started seeping through the wall - even thought the room was seamless and had no gaps...
It seems we will have to deal with Chris again.
After a light meal, and much healing - for I had infact suffered much at the hands of the demon, I collected Angelique and headed back to my mansion. I made a mental note that it was time to attack another church, collect some holy water (for future use against Chris) and kill a couple of priests, but that fun would have to wait for another night.
