Hyde has been rummaging around in his bag for several minutes following the Prince's speech on tactics. Finally he digs out a wad of crumpled 8x11 photo-paper and starts to pass a few of the sheets around as he approaches Carter.

Handing the last few to the Prince he says "These are images I took of 'the Devil' over at the Commons the other night. This old Gorilla has always been good at forcing things into the light, especially things that don't want to be there." He grins at his little pun on Carter's words before becoming serious again and continuing "Our surveillance on the site continues lord. If any new information is gleaned, I will see to it that the Sheriff is made aware post-haste."

With this, he bows and takes a few steps back.

Zaine holds the picture in his hand for a moment before saying, "This is the man i fought in the cathedral, the one who killed the old sherrif." He looks to Bellisa "This is the man you want to hunt." He loks back to Hyde "Very good work!"

Carter narrows his eyes on the photgraphs he is handed. He recognizes the face of course... It was the last sight of many a malkavian in the constant seiges of Los Vegas...

'I know of this kindred. He is Lasombra and not to be engaged alone; by anyone. Am i understood? '

Carter asks, very serious. Looking more at Zaine with his question than anyone else.

Shade nods his head in understanding,

and for the first time that any of Kindred in the city can remember, save a select few, he speaks in open court..

"I have encountered a Lasombra before, and I would impress on every Kindred in this room to not underestimate their abilities."

Briefly scanning the room he stops for a moment looking at Mister Hyde, and gives him the glance that says "even someone as strong as you should take caution."  With a brief nod of respect to the hulking Nosferatu, he returns his gaze forward to the Prince.

Hyde raises both eyebrows at Carter's comment and thinks to himself how glad he is he didn't try some lone-ranger shit instead of taking pictures.

The Assimite's comment drives the point home like a stake.

Zaine nods to the prince and reinfocrces the statement with "He is very powerful, he could have easily finished me if he had wished."

mnemenoi wrote : Looking at Vittorio, the Regent moves toward this well spoken kindred. He seems to understand the game of court, he could be one not to underestimate. Truly he has been well trained by his sire and has taken to the lessons well. Perhaps I shall introduce myself, at one time it was considered a courtesy.  I approach and await his acknowledgment before approaching more closely.

Vittorio nods to the approaching Kindred, a respectful acknowledgement, though nothing overly ostentatious.

*She takes a copy of the picture, studying her foe, a mere nod to Zaine as he confirms her thoughts. Yes this is the one she wishes to hunt, the words of the Prince do not go unheeded though. She knows what Lasombra are capable of and she may be fierce but she isn't stupid. Her eyes move then to Hyde, studying him, he is not useless, in fact he is the first person in the city she seems to have a use for. An almost smile brushes her lips before dropping again. She idly wonders why this Templar did not kill Zaine when he could of, there is something to be said for that and it makes her suspicious.

She finally speaks up.* Is there a plan of action then, to rid us of this one? He is after all my first reason to be here.

By this time, Rose, while not ignoring the meeting, is certainly out of her depth.  Needlework, some slight knowledge of politics, ok, killing...she's enough a child of her early years, the protests against killing that the idea still makes her squeamish.
Ok, so she's not war material...

Carter nods to Bellisa.

'The Commons Hotel is on the outskirts of town where with little effort a fight could be easily concealed. This Templar is dangerous however... we need to draw him into the open and overpower him quickly.'

'Bellisa, i know you have both a personal reason to destroy this Templar as well as the skills to do so. If you will lead the assault on the templar his blood is yours.'

 The Regent will listen carefully to Bellisa. Still standing near Vittorio, after their exchange. "Good Evening Vittorio, Perhaps some time in the future we could meet up for drinks? Where could I contact you, should you agree to such an occasion? There are so few that enjoy the social graces, it is always a delight to see another whom relishes in such finery." He says under his breath, it would seem he has impressed the Tremere elder with his introduction and oratory.

*She stands and nods* I will be proud to do so, if anyone here wishes to volunteer their services to the cause they can come to me. I will not wait very long before striking though, so be quick about it. *A flash of a rare grin to Prince Carter, blood lust in those hazel eyes. After these many many long years a crusade can still bring a smile to her face.*

Shade will glance over to the Prince, looking at him as if to ask if his services are required at this little Lasombra "get together" or whether he can enjoy a night of his own....pursuits.

Carter will shake his head to the Assamite, he has other plans for Shade this evening... Deirdre needs to be followed...

(I want to wrap this up, timeline is getting fucked by this dragging on a month and a half. Anyone who wishes to accompany Bellisa please join the scene at the commons hotel. )
