The ghouls look like they’re in frenzy resetting a room all of a sudden. They are changing a room for medical care but the bed has thick iron shackles for feet and hands.  Jiles send message to Reginald about how I need his presence and about the emergency with the wounded prisoner.

 Returning from the meeting with the Order, I felt very successful at accomplishing my goals. That was until the kook showed up, that angered me greatly. It is truly a testament to the my respect to Prince Carter that I did not viscerally rip that whelp apart. I managed to control the beast and left, fearing it would only grow worse with his proximity. The phone call later confirmed Randolph's ticket to oblivion. I truly fear being in his presence, if I were to even have a hint as to his whereabouts I would personally incinerate that incompetent ass immediately. My mind still seething, the car pulls up to the gate and the guards are quick to tell me of Sebastion's call. I tell the driver to drop me off at the house quickly to prepare for our guest, if anything can be said of the Tremere we are always accommodating.

 I make it back to the basement of the old slave quarters and immediately start organizing the ghouls. I set those that have medical expertise on cleaning and prepping the area while the other two properly secure the iron chains (manacles,feet cuffs, and neck ring), inspecting them for any defects. We want only the best for our new friend, nothing second rate will suffice. I call ahead to the guards that they are to allow the van inside, but to check that the inhabitants are only the driver, Sebastion, Mr. Hyde, and someone whom they will be keeping in check and looking the worse for wear. They are then to go on High alert, no one is allowed into the Chantry grounds without my express permission, even Tremere.

 I await the sound of a van, and whomever they will be accompaning. Tonight should be amusing, I might not even think about Randolph, well at least I will have someone to take it out on until I can bump into him. I smile a viscous grin that causes a few ghouls to stare and cower. I bark at them about not pleasing me which causes them to snap back to contiueing their work. I dislike cleaning up after idiots, but at least it will not happen again.

I will make certain of it.

I move out of the back of the van. “Driver get me a Gurney. Mr. Hyde would you mind hand pushing him all you have to do is follow me” I am hoping this task will help him keep his eyes from wandering too much. “You must follow my path to the tee because we have traps set up on compounds.”

I hope that it is not to much information for an outsider but, he trusted us so I guess I have to trust him. I also know that he will say nothing if I take him trough a path that is longer but avoid any of our key rooms.  I take him trough an endless maze of rights and lefts using the library to confuse his sense of direction. I was hoping by keeping the scenery as close as possible it will help prevent a strong memory of the Chantry.

I lead my charge slowly, eventually coming to a downward slope, though it isn’t really noticeable.  (*dice roll*) I eventually lead us to a flight of stairs. “We must be very careful down these stairs. I am sorry we don’t have any other way to get him down into the old slave quarters, follow my lead.” (*dice roll*)

Hyde does not seem to mind pushing the gurney, in fact he seems amused by it.  “We are familiar with traps, use quite a bit of them ourselves. I will mimic your movements, go where you go and step where you step. It is a game we are taught as fledglings.”

Hyde’s direction sense is fairly well developed, having lived ostensibly the entirety of his extended life underground. He knows that they are going in circles, but he does not begrudge the man for it, in fact he respects the gesture. He would have done the same had their roles been reversed. Though the library certainly does its job of distracting him, he actually runs into Sebastian’s back with the gurney on one occasion because he is looking at the spines of the book and not his host.

When they come to the slope, Hyde is pondering one of the titles he saw in the library so intently that he actually believes that the slope goes UP.

{2008-05-04 17:19:02 Hyde rolls 6 dice to Detect grade or slope (Diff 8) 3,3,1,4,5, 5 (BOTCH x 1)}

Hyde cocks his head at the large man after his last comment. Apparently Sebastian has been taken in by his illusory appearance if he thinks they cannot lift a gurney together, useful information indeed. Hyde was under the impression that the warlocks could see through his tricks almost reflexively. “Don’t let these scrawny arms fool ya my friend, I can heft my end.”

 "Place him here on the table," gesturing to the stone slab. Looking at the two medical ghouls,"Take his vitals and start administering the I.V.". You two, looking at the other two,"Secure the prisoner and weld the manacles closed, if he escapes I will hold you personally responsible."

"You two", gesturing at the vampires,"Follow me, we need you both cleaned and prepped for surgery." As he leads them to another adjacent room. After they arrive he closes the door turning upon the pair,"Good evening Mr. Hyde, and welcome to our abode. I apologize for any curtness or rudeness that transpires within the next room but he must know fear beyond what he is capable of enduring. I need an entire accounting of what occurred, now, and quickly."

“All greetings to you Regent, you need not explain yourself to me, I shall play along in whatever capacity you require.”

Hyde fills the Regent in on all the details of his scuffle with the two trespassers, omitting only the details that might give away the locale. He even mimics their voices when coming to the parts of the story when the two men spoke… or warbled. The way they smelled, moved, the appearance of the other, anything that might be helpful. It is apparent to Hyde that the Elder considers this person to be more of a threat than he himself did, and Hyde wonders why that is...

My posture changes as I see the Regent it straightens up, as if I just entered a formal event. You can see the respect in my eyes as the regent gives me an order to wash up. It look like the respect that a dying solider gives to his commander. The commander yells for him to pull trough his greatest battle, but the solider just dies from his belly wound in the trench.

I wash up as if preparing for surgery not knowing if I’m actually preparing to fix my patient or not. I stand there next to Mr. Hyde to let him tell his tale of the night.

 We return to the room, the Regent leading the way. "Keep him alive Sebastion, do whatever is necessary." I walk over and capture the ghouls attention and gaze,"We are here to help you, What is your name and whom are you working with?"(2008-05-04 18:35:16 mnemenoi rolls 8 dice to Conditioning 10,7,9,5,8, 5,6,4,9 (6 successes)

The ghouls eyes are rolling and glassy from the morphine injections. His mind already weak from Hyde's punishing influence in the tunnels...

His words are slurred and he twitches under the regents grasp...

'I'mm... Imf...'

He is breaking, but impaired...

'Dannny... The family...'

I began the process to redoing my shoddy work done it the van. I began to retreat the man wounds. ( Medicine roll 10,9,3,10,6, 5,1,2,10 (4 successes) I Began to find things that I overlook in the van. I find some internal bleeding but since it early on I can easy fix it. “ he would been dead in a couple hour if we did not catch this.”

 "Where do we need to take you?," sounding very concerned. "Who do we need to call?"

The Revenant looks very confused at that question...

'The collapse... crushed us... most of us...'

He cranes his head as best he can in the restraints trying to see what Sebastion is doing to him...

'Atlanta... my brother is coming from Atlanta..' He slurs.

 "Sanfield, where in Sanfield? Collio, is that what you said." trying to confuse him into revealing anything, or confirming any of my suspicions.

'Collio?... ' He blubbers, like a laugh, with semi full lungs...

'Creepy little whore... We exist was a suicide run...The boys call them a joke... she probably dead...'

The Revenant looks back at the Regent with glassy eyes.

'We had so much in those tunnels... so much is lost..'

The Revenant lazily tugs at the chains and lolls his head around...

'Uhhhg... I dont meet... I just guard the weapons in the tunnels...'

Hyde slowly moves out of the captive's line of sight, watching the others, waiting for the right moment. He holds the broken image of the other one from the sewers, the one called 'Bobby'. Hyde's visage as a small man in a brown three-piece and top-hat flickers for a moment, before becoming ephemeral and expanding in proportion.

His appearance is passable, not perfect, but hopefully the captive's sorry state will fill in the gaps.

In a thick suthern' accent, Hyde looks to the Regent and says "Ya'll mind if ah cut iyn?"

 "They are lost, who do you call? Who" 2008-05-04 19:29:27 mnemenoi rolls 7 dice to Command (Diff 5) 1,6,8,2,3, 9,8 (3 successes)

'The Commons...' he Monotones... Looking confused he suddenly cranes against the bonds.

'Bobby? Bobby!.. you made it out.. '

 Stepping out of the way for "Bobby", I quietly observe.
