In Chronicles
In an ongoing chronicle, adapting this story
can be quickly done by altering some names and
locations. Successful Intelligence + Politics,
Charisma + Persuasion, or Composure + Awareness
tests in Elysium or at a moot may reveal
secrets about the Captive or the Scalpel.
Crafty Storytellers may be able to foreshadow
the Balm, the Aegis, and the Captive one or
more sessions before running this story so the
characters and location feel more integrated
into the world.
Altering the Location: Replace Barleyridge with a comparable community on
the outskirts of town. Choose an area on the outskirts of any large city. The chemical
disaster from a decade ago could have happened as a tanker truck crash, train derailment,
plane crash, or even a neighborhood gas station that unwittingly leaked gasoline into the
soil for years.
Adding Relationship-Map Connections: Rivals may return as Adversaries. Mays
or Plotter-of-Courses could become a positive Relationship-Map connection, such as
Mawla or Mentor, or a negative one, like an Adversary. Any surviving cultists could
return as Enemies or Stalkers.
Destroying the Scalpel: For Kindred, after being soaked in the vitae of someone who
knows Fleshcrafting or Horrid Form, the Ruler of Flesh grows soft enough to bend and
break. For Garou, abjuring the spirit from Shadow’s Sting may necessitate its subsequent
defeat and/or binding to destroy the Talisman. A talisman that is damaged but not
destroyed may function as a Talen. ■

Appendix II

Players’ Characters
I
n addition to each player’s character’s full qualities, simplified antagonist qualities are also
provided. These qualities are written for the opposite game of the character’s full qualities; a Vampire
player’s character has antagonist qualities for Werewolf, and vice versa. Special rules for each antagonist
quality (found in the chapters on antagonists in Vampire and Werewolf) apply.

Player Coterie: Blindfold

Blindfold is a Vehme coterie (see Coterie Types in Vampire) formed at the request,
manipulation, or outright demand of the city’s Court. Each Kindred in the coterie has
a deep interest in the greater supernatural world. If they preserve the Masquerade, the
Domain’s authorities permit them to pursue their interests freely.

Player Pack: Litany’s Claw

Litany’s Claw is a traditionalist pack of Garou dedicated to the proliferation and
enforcement of the Litany (Werewolf, p. 46) in their sept. Though the pack is serious
about their work, they’re also aware of its faults. Some strive for a new Litany entirely.
Tonight, there’s no disagreement: someone is lifting the Veil and must be punished.

Nightmare got her way through violence all her life, and prison cells were as much home as her apartment.

extreme violence is commonplace.

Skyler “Getaway” Granville (Creative Improviser)

Getaway was Embraced as part of an elaborate rivalry between two powerful vampires, which ended
in both seeing final death. He didn’t earn his nickname just by talking his way out of the Prince’s
punishment or because he escaped the machinations of his sire’s surviving childer. Pay him enough
blood, and he’ll get anyone out of trouble. His specialty is helping Kindred escape situations involving
other supernatural creatures, which puts him at the top of the coterie’s speed dial.

Actions
These are things you can do but aren’t required:
• Be the wild card of your coterie and ensure their victory by any means necessary.
• Use your variety of skills to create another chance of success, or at least a good exit strategy.

Tears-the-Heels (Relentless Tracker)
Tears-the-Heels, a wolf-born Garou, never forgot the fear in his mother’s eyes when a fomor devoured her, the
terror in the monster’s eyes as he pursued it after the First Change, and the panic in his siblings’ eyes when
they fled from him after saving them. He blames humanity for his losses and carefully observes the human
world to use their works against them. He pursues and catches Litany violators. He strives for a new Litany
that equalizes authority, putting him at odds with other tribe members.

Actions
These are things you can do but aren’t required:
• Be the burglar of your pack and help them move stealthily.
• Use your slight-of-hand (or paw) to break into secure places.
• Destroy or disable an object made by humans.
