Session 26

The PCs renew their efforts to bring down Prince Alonzo. They visit one more influencial member of the Prince' Court, Sarah the Chaste, and one of the leaders of the Mortal Court, Anna Komnene, securing their support in exchange for favours.

Their next step is to secure the support of Abetorius of clan Tremere; when they visit the sorcerers, they're surprised by their boldness. Abetorius proposes that the Tremere will assassinate the prince in three months time, in exchange for 50 years of support from each of the PCs. They will also put in power whomever the PCs choose. Even though the price is high, the opportunity is too good to pass on, and the PCs accept. With the support of the Tremere, the PCs plan to have Anna Komnena become the new Prince of Constantinople.

As a precaution they also visit Galisin, the Toreador enabler of the prince and his most trusted "ally". Galisin quickly admits of being the cause of the prince's deteriorating mental sanity, something he has planned for a couple of centuries "just for fun". He wants the prince to become consumed by his beast, and die a terrible death. Seeing a chance to obtain what they want without any payment, the PCs warn him that he needs to speed up his plans to ruin the prince, since "other forces" are at work to depose the prince.

Galisin does not seem worried about their warnings. The PCs leave his presence, and retire to a safe place as the events unfold.
